CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Forward-Looking Statements

This presentation includes forward-looking statements. These statements reflect the current views of the Company’s management with respect to future events and financial performance. These statements include forward-looking statements with respect to the Company’s business and industry in general. Statements that include the words “expect,” “intend,” “estimate,” “may,” “should,” “anticipate” and similar statements of a future or forward-looking nature identify forward-looking statements for purposes of the federal securities laws or otherwise. Forward-looking statements address matters that involve risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. For a discussion of the factors that could change these forward-looking statements, see our filings with the SEC. The statements made herein speak only as of the date of this presentation and the Company does not undertake to update this information except as required by law. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Performance during time periods shown is limited and may not reflect the performance in different economic and market cycles. There can be no assurance that similar performance will be experienced.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This presentation contains non-GAAP financial measures. A “non-GAAP financial measure” is defined as a numerical measure of a Company’s financial performance that excludes or includes amounts so as to be different than the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statements of income, balance sheets or statements of cash flow of the Company. The non-GAAP financial measures used within this presentation are funds from operations, or FFO, adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, and net operating income, or NOI. FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and impairment charges. We compute FFO in accordance with NAREIT’s definition. AFFO is calculated by adjusting FFO by adding back items that do not reflect ongoing property operations, such as acquisition expenses, equity-based compensation expenses and the amortization of deferred loan costs. AFFO will also be adjusted to include any gains (losses) from sales of property to the extent excluded from FFO, and operating property capital expenditures. NOI is calculated by adjusting net income to add back interest, depreciation and amortization, advisory management fees, advisory reimbursement of operating expenses, and advisory administrative fees. We believe that the use of FFO, AFFO and NOI, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. While FFO, AFFO and NOI are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO, AFFO and NOI do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO, AFFO and NOI may not be comparable to FFO, AFFO and NOI reported by other REITs. For additional information about our non-GAAP financial measures, see page 27 of this presentation and our filings with the SEC.

Additional Information

This presentation provides a summary of the Company’s information statement filed as an exhibit to the Company’s registration statement on Form 10 that was declared effective by the SEC on March 18, 2015 and is qualified by the disclosures contained in the Form 10. Investors are urged to read the Form 10 in its entirety. For additional information, see our filings with the SEC. The final information statement will be mailed to stockholders of record as of March 23, 2015.

INVESTMENT THESIS

NARROW DISCOUNT AND APARTMENT REIT PRICING

 

NHF has historically traded at a discount to NAV

 

On average, apartment REITs have historically traded near NAV

 

High-quality apartment REITs often trade above NAV

 

By spinning off NXRT from NHF, we believe the gap between NXRT and apartment REITs premiums/discounts will be narrowed

 

Narrowing this gap for NXRT would create shareholder value

INNOVATIVE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY/STRATEGY

 

NXRT’s strategy of acquiring challenged and/or undermanaged properties and renovating them to improve NOI is not a primary strategy among the publicly traded apartment REITs

 

NXRT would provide investors an opportunity to gain exposure in the value-add apartment space with significant embedded in-place NOI growth

 

NXRT will be insulated from new supply as its assets are primarily workforce apartments in large cities and suburban submarkets where new supply of affordable housing is non-existent

ATTRACTIVE COMBINED YIELD

 

Anticipated combined post-spin dividend of roughly $1.00 per original NHF share, equates to a

~$0.28/sh (38%) increase in dividend distributions, representing an 8.3% yield based on NHF’s $11.95 share price

 

NXRT expects to pay a $0.83/sh dividend post spin-off, representing an estimated 5.5% dividend yield

 

No change in NHF dividend post spin-off

 

Held alone NHF’s dividend yield climbs to 8.8% on the post-spin NAV, or roughly 9.8% if the shares of NHF continue to trade at a similar discount

INVESTMENT THESIS: NARROW DISCOUNT

Closing the Gap: NHF has historically traded at a 10-12% discount to NAV. If NXRT trades at NHF’s valuation of its underlying real estate, $40 Million of shareholder value ($0.63 per NHF share) could be realized.

INVESTMENT THESIS: APARTMENT REIT PRICING

 

More than NAV: While shareholders should see meaningful value creation if shares trade at NAV, additional upside is possible. High quality companies often garner valuations in excess of the value of their real estate holdings.

INVESTMENT THESIS: INNOVATIVE STRATEGY

 

Differentiated Strategy: Like the growth vs. value investment style matrix, real estate investments can be broken up by strategy. Nearly every existing public REIT focuses on being a large owner of core assets. NXRT will provide investors an innovative opportunity to invest in value-add properties in the apartment REIT sector.

INVESTMENT THESIS: INNOVATIVE STRATEGY(TRACK RECORD)

• History of Success: Improving NOI does not always create value if management overpays for the opportunity. However, even at the properties that have not been homeruns, nearly all properties are valued in excess of their cost basis. NXRT’s acquisition and rehab process achieves development-like returns without taking development risks.

INVESTMENT THESIS: INNOVATIVE STRATEGY(CASE STUDY)

 

The Average Rehab (Case Study): NXRT’s predecessor has rehabbed more than 400 units at an average cost of about $4,445 per unit. On average, rents are raised by roughly $90/month, translating into a return on investment of roughly 25%.

INVESTMENT THESIS: INNOVATIVE STRATEGY(SUPPLY)

Non-Existent Supply: Apartment developers have responded to the strong apartment demand in recent years by accelerating their activity. However, their focus has been on developing Class A assets in high-barrier markets.

NXRT will be insulated from the new supply as its assets are primarily workforce apartments (Class B) in large cities and suburban submarkets where new supply of affordable housing is virtually non-existent.

INVESTMENT THESIS: UNIQUE STRATEGY(SUPPLY)

Rehab Pencils, Development Doesn’t: Apartment developers have been focusing on developing Class A assets in high-barrier markets because it is not economically feasible to develop Class B or workforce housing.

Not only will NXRT be insulated from new supply because of these economic dynamics, it can capture outsized returns by rehabbing properties and not developing from the ground-up.

INVESTMENT THESIS: COMBINED YIELD

Higher Yields, Similar Coverage: REITs have traditionally been viewed as yield-based products. However, the focus of public REITs on low-yield, high-quality, high-barrier markets has reduced their ability to pay meaningful dividends. We believe NXRT’s focus on value-add properties should support much higher dividend payments. Assuming no other changes, on an AFFO basis NXRT could raise its dividend from an expected $0.83/sh to over $1.15/sh and still cover the payment.

If all shares are retained following the spin-off, NHF shareholders will receive $1.00/sh or roughly an 8.3% dividend yield on NHF’s share price of $11.95.

PORTFOLIO GEOGRAPHY

Geographic Distribution: The public REITs concentrate the bulk of their ownership in high-barrier markets along the coasts. These markets benefit from strong demographics, above-average job creation, and better rent vs. own propositions than their peers in “middle America,” but suffer from considerably lower yields.

A Different Approach: NXRT properties are concentrated in secondary markets. The Company’s focus on value-add, workforce housing investments offers potentially greater near-term upside along with a more stable long-term growth profile.

INTERNAL GROWTH

A League of its Own: Same-property NOI growth is expected to be substantially higher than all of its apartment peers through ‘15. The outsized NOI growth reflects management’s proven track record of adding value through the rehab process. Even after including the capital required to complete in-place projects, considerable shareholder value could be unlocked.

PORTFOLIO GROWTH

More than a Rising Tide: On average, apartment asset values have climbed roughly 8% since NXRT acquired its assets. However, NXRT’s real estate is valued at roughly 14% more than it cost, demonstrating the value that has been created through the rehab process. Management continues to identify additional opportunities.

PEER COMPARISON: SIZE

Small by Design: NXRT is small relative to existing public apartment REITs and the broader REIT universe by design. While NXRT expects to continue to grow through additional acquisitions, the small size magnifies the results of each rehab opportunity to flow through its pipeline. Additionally, NXRT’s value-add franchise may be an attractive addition to existing platforms.

PEER COMPARISON: IMPLIED NOMINAL CAP RATE

High Yield and Growth: Typically lower cap rate assets reflect higher quality assets and larger NOI growth potential. However, NXRT expects considerably larger near-term NOI growth than any of its peers. Coupled with the higher initial yield, its assets should produce meaningful value creation for shareholders.

PEER COMPARISON: RENT PER UNIT

Quality Migration: NXRT focuses on investments in properties that are of generally lower initial quality than its publicly traded peers. However, these lower quality assets often suffer from poor management and deferred maintenance that can be remedied, thereby providing an innovative and potentially attractive investment alternative, particularly in the current low-yield economic environment.
