Cautionary Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibits furnished herewith, contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, our future economic performance, plans and objectives for future operations and projections of revenue and other financial items. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “plan,” “potential,” “project,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “target,” “continue” or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to certain risks, trends and uncertainties, many of which we cannot predict with accuracy and some of which we might not even anticipate. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, we can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those listed in Exhibit 99.1 on page 2 and incorporated by reference herein. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Unless required by U.S. federal securities laws, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the statements are made or to conform the statements to actual results. The information contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibit filed herewith, should be viewed in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in the Registrants’ Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.

The Company considers NOI to be a meaningful non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and assessing unlevered performance of its property types and markets as it relates to total return on assets, as<br>opposed to levered return on equity. As properties are considered for sale and acquisition based on NOI estimates and projections, the Company utilizes this measure to make investment decisions, as well as compare the performance of its assets to those of its peers. NOI should not be considered a substitute for net<br>income, and the Company’s use of NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. The Company calculates NOI before any allocations to noncontrolling interests, as those interests do not affect the overall performance of the individual assets being measured and assessed.<br>Information About Net Operating Income (NOI)<br>RECONCILIATION OF NET INCOME (LOSS) TO NET OPERATING INCOME (NOI)

CORPORATE PRESENTATION, FEBRUARY 24, 2025 44<br>Definitions<br>AV E R A G E E F F E CT I V E M O N T H LY R E N T P E R H O M E<br>represents the average effective rent (net of concessions) for<br>in-place leases and the market rent for vacant homes.<br>CORE FFO AND ADJUSTED FFO (“AFFO”) Core FFO<br>is defined as FFO, as adjusted for certain items to facilitate<br>comparative measurement of the Company’s performance<br>over time. Core FFO is presented solely as supplemental<br>disclosure that the Company’s management believes provides<br>useful information to investors and analysts of its results, after<br>adjusting for certain items to facilitate comparability of its<br>performance from period to period. Core FFO is a non-GAAP<br>financial measures that is not intended to represent cash<br>flow and is not indicative of cash flows provided by operating<br>activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. As there is<br>not a generally accepted definition established for Core FFO,<br>the Company’s Core FFO may not be comparable to the Core<br>FFO reported by other REITs. A reconciliation of net income<br>per share to Core FFO and Adjusted FFO in dollars and per<br>share are included in the financial tables accompanying our<br>quarterly and annual filings.<br>BLENDED NET RENTAL GROWTH RATE combines new<br>lease and renewal lease growth rates. New lease growth<br>rate refers to the difference in rent a new occupant of a unit<br>is paying compared to the rent the unit’s previous occupant<br>was paying on a net effective basis. Renewal lease growth<br>rate refers to the increase or decrease in monthly rent in<br>a renewed lease compared to the previous lease on a net<br>effective basis.<br>NET DEBT/EBITDA The Company defines Adjusted<br>EBITDA as Core FFO, plus interest expense, plus income<br>tax expense, plus income (loss) in noncontrolling interest in<br>consolidated joint ventures and plus adjustments to reflect<br>the entity’s share of Adjusted EBITDA of unconsolidated joint<br>ventures. The Company presents Adjusted EBITDA because<br>the Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA, along with<br>cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and<br>financing activities, provides investors with an additional<br>indicator of the Company’s ability to incur and service debt.<br>Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative<br>to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as<br>an indication of the Company’s financial performance, as<br>an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities<br>(determined in accordance with GAAP) or as a measure of<br>the Company’s liquidity.<br>NET OPERATING INCOME (NOI) represents total<br>revenues less total operating expenses, as reconciled to net<br>income above. The Company considers NOI to be a meaningful<br>non-GAAP financial measure for making decisions and<br>assessing unlevered performance of its property types and<br>markets as it relates to total return on assets, as opposed<br>to levered return on equity. As properties are considered for<br>sale and acquisition based on NOI estimates and projections,<br>the Company utilizes this measure to make investment<br>decisions, as well as compare the performance of its<br>assets to those of its peers. NOI should not be considered<br>a substitute for net income, and the Company’s use of NOI<br>may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by<br>other companies. The Company calculates NOI before any<br>allocations to non-controlling interests, as those interests do<br>not affect the overall performance of the individual assets<br>being measured and assessed.<br>ORA™ score is an aggregate compilation of a property’s<br>ratings across various review sites. Each month, J Turner<br>Research monitors the online ratings of properties nationwide.<br>Using a statistical model, a single score based on a scale of 0<br>to 100 is assigned to each property.<br>SAME STORE includes properties that were owned for the<br>entirety of the years being compared and exclude properties<br>under redevelopment or development and properties<br>acquired, sold or classified as held for sale during the years<br>being compared.<br>Ancillary Information
