10 ESTIMATED PORTFOLIO AND ESTIMATED NET ASSET VALUE Estimated Portfolio Value and Estimated Net Asset Value (“NAV”) are non-GAAP financial measures. Silver Bay provides the Estimated Portfolio Value and Estimated NAV and believes such metrics are useful as additional tools for investors seeking to value the Company. These metrics should be considered along with other available information in valuing and assessing Silver Bay, including the Company’s GAAP financial measures or other cash flow or yield metrics and should not be viewed as a substitute for book value, net investments in real estate, equity, net income or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of the Company’s profitability or liquidity. A description of the Company’s Automated Valuation Model (“AVM”) along with certain assumptions and limitations related to its AVM and its calculations of Estimated Portfolio Value and Estimated NAV can be found on the Company’s website at www.silverbayrealtytrustcorp.com in the Investor Relations section under the non-GAAP Reconciliations link. The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s investments in real estate to Estimate Portfolio Value and book value to Estimated NAV: (1) Per share amounts are based upon common shares outstanding of 36,711,694 plus 2,231,511 common units for a total of 38,943,205 fully diluted shares outstanding as of December 31, 2014. (2) Difference between AVM derived value of the Company’s portfolio of properties of $1.1 billion which assumes all properties are fully renovated, and net investments in real estate. (3) Estimated renovation reserve is calculated on properties in the portfolio that are not currently stabilized and for which the initial renovation has not been completed. (4) Book value as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) represents total assets less total liabilities and less preferred stock in mezzanine or total equity.

11 N E T O P E R A T I N G I N C O M E Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as total revenue less property operating and maintenance, real estate taxes, homeowners’ association fees, property management expenses, and certain other non-cash or unrelated non-operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, advisory management fees, management internalization, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, and other expenses. Additionally, NOI excludes costs incurred on market ready properties prior to their initial lease, the 5% property management fee payable prior to the Internalization because it more closely represents additional advisory management fee, management internalization, non-cash share based property management stock compensation, expensed acquisition fees and costs, and certain other property management costs. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that the company considers to be meaningful, when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company believes NOI is helpful to investors in understanding the core performance of the real estate operations of the Company. The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s NOI to net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP (amounts in thousands): THREE MONTHS ENDED YEAR ENDED THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 DECEMBER 31, 2013 DECEMBER 31, 2014 DECEMBER 31, 2013 SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 Net loss $ (2,492) $ (5,060) $ (56,697) $ (24,550) $ (44,870) Depreciation and amortization 6,823 6,174 25,623 20,235 6,427 Advisory management fee - affiliates - 2,179 6,621 9,775 2,251 Management internalization 194 - 39,373 - 39,179 General and administrative 3,278 2,110 11,079 7,453 2,331 Interest expense 2,876 1,764 12,066 2,911 4,221 Other 88 594 611 1,284 161 Property operating and maintenance add back: Market ready costs prior to initial lease 58 - 278 - 76 Property management add backs: 5% property management fee - 116 288 645 97 Acquisitions fees and costs expensed - 130 60 840 - System implementation costs - 278 139 971 15 Other 30 7 268 308 85 Total property management add backs 30 531 755 2,764 197 Net operating income $ 10,855 $ 8,292 $ 39,709 $ 19,872 $ 9,973 Net operating income as a percentage of total revenue 52.5% 49.6% 51.0% 40.1% 49.9%


 
12 FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS AND CORE FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes, when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding its performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of, and impairment losses recognized with respect to, depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated on the same basis to determine FFO. Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”) is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses as a supplemental measure of its performance. The Company believes that Core FFO is further helpful to investors as it provides a more consistent measurement of its performance across reporting periods by removing the impact of certain items that are not comparable from period to period. The Company adjusts FFO for expensed acquisition fees and costs, certain fees and expenses related to its securitization transaction, total non-cash share based stock compensation, costs associated with the Internalization, non-cash expenses associated with the Company's commitment reduction and pay-down of the revolving credit facility, and certain other costs to arrive at Core FFO. FFO and Core FFO should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or net cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as indications of the Company's performance or as measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. In addition, although the Company uses these non-GAAP measures for comparability in assessing its performance against other REITs, not all REITs compute these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company's basis for computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other REITs. This is due in part to the differences in capitalization policies used by different companies and the significant effect these capitalization policies have on FFO and Core FFO. Real estate costs which are accounted for as capital improvements are added to the carrying value of the property and depreciated over time whereas real estate costs that are expenses are accounted for as a current period expense. This affects FFO and Core FFO because costs that are accounted for as expenses reduce FFO and Core FFO. Conversely, real estate costs associated with assets that are capitalized and then subsequently depreciated are excluded from the calculation of FFO and Core FFO. FFO and Core FFO are calculated on a gross basis and, as such, do not reflect adjustments for the noncontrolling interests - Operating Partnership. The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the Company’s net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP and its calculations of FFO and Core FFO for the three months ended December 31, 2014, December 31, 2013 and September 30, 2014 and the year ended December 31, 2014. Also presented is information regarding the weighted-average number of shares of the Company's common stock and common units of the Operating Partnership outstanding used for the computation of FFO and Core FFO per share (amounts in thousands, except share and per-share amounts): THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2014 THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2014 Net loss(1) $ (2,492) $ (5,060) $ (56,697) $ (44,870) Depreciation and amortization 6,823 6,174 25,623 6,427 Other (3) 345 557 113 Funds from operations $ 4,328 $ (1,459) $ (30,517) $ (38,330) Adjustments: Acquisition fees and costs expensed and other(2) - 130 835 - Securitization fees and costs expenses(3) - - 801 217 Non-cash stock compensation 286 175 1,002 259 Market ready costs to initial lease 58 - 278 76 System implementation costs - 278 139 15 Management internalization(1) 194 - 39,373 39,179 Write-off of deferred financing fees - - 1,058 1,058 Ineffectiveness of interest rate cap agreements - - 480 480 Amortization of discount on securitization loan 75 - 116 41 Core funds from operations $ 4,941 $ 2,042 $ 13,565 $ 2,995 FFO $ 4,328 $ 1,459 $ (30,517) $ (38,330) Preferred stock distributions (25) (25) (100) (25) FFO available to common shares and units $ 4,303 $ 1,434 $ (30,617) $ (38,355) Core FFO $ 4,941 $ 2,042 $ 13,565 $ 2,995 Preferred stock distributions (25) (25) (100) (25) Core FFO available to common shares and units $ 4,916 $ 2,017 $ 13,465 $ 2,970 Weighted average shares and units outstanding(4) 39,400,582 38,732,471 38,688,548 38,339,487 FFO per share $ 0.12 $ 0.03 $ (0.79) $ (1.00) Core FFO per share $ 0.13 $ 0.05 $ 0.35 $ 0.08 (1) Includes cost to internalize our former manager of $39.4 million, primarily related to issuance of common units of the Operating Partnership and to a lesser extent, certain transaction costs and assumption of certain liabilities during the year ended December 31,2014.
