7 AUTOMATED VALUATION MODEL (“AVM”) AND ESTIMATED NET ASSET VALUE (“NAV”) AVM refers to Silver Bay’s proprietary automated valuation model. The AVM estimates the value of a subject property using comparable sales analysis based on sales data, without reference to the intended use for the subject or comparable properties. The AVM does not consider cash flow or other yield metrics. The values derived by the AVM have not been audited and are not net of any estimated selling costs for the subject property, and there is no assurance that the Company’s estimates of value calculated by use of the AVM are indicative of the amounts that would be realized on the ultimate sale or exchange of these assets. The AVM uses a number of assumptions in calculating the value of the Company's properties. For any property, the ideal comparable would be an identical property next door, sold recently. Because such a comparable is rarely available, the AVM makes adjustments to the value of comparable sales to account for the differences between a given comparable and the subject property. The AVM calculates an adjustment factor based on a regression analysis of the history of sales in the geographic area, which in economics is known as a hedonic price equation. AVM assumes that only the finite list of factors (gross living area, age of the property, lot size, number of bathrooms, location fixed effect (on the level of census block group or census tract), time fixed effect (measured in three month periods counting back from the estimation date), type of sale fixed effect (normal versus distressed sale, which captures the maintenance condition and a possible discount associated with REO or a distressed seller) and above average condition effect (which attempts to capture properties determined to be in above average condition in the market)) influence the sales price of a property despite additional factors that could actually impact the pricing of a particular property. This assumption limits the reliability of the AVM when valuing a single property because it may not capture the unique character of that particular property. The Company does not believe this assumption materially impedes calculating the value of a larger group of properties. The AVM also assumes a logarithmic relation between the factors used in the regression analysis, as is common in models of this type, and assumes that the Company's properties have been fully renovated to above-average condition. The AVM also relies on the accuracy of the data regarding the Company’s homes and properties used in sales comparisons, which is provided by an independent third party. The potential for inaccurate data limits the reliability of the AVM when valuing a single property where a data error has a more pronounced effect, but the Company does not believe it materially impacts reliability when calculating the value of a larger portfolio of properties. The Company employs multiple validation measures to assess the reasonableness of the AVM calculations, including comparisons to published home price indices and broker price opinions obtained for Company properties. Additionally, the Company uses the AVM to calculate the value of a random sample of properties purchased in its markets by third parties and then compares this result to the actual sales price for such properties. The calculation performed in January 2016 covered 57,391 comparable sales transactions in November and December 2015 and the aggregate AVM derived value was 0.2% above the aggregate actual sales prices. The Company believes these validation measures provide a reasonable basis for determining the AVM is a fair assessment of the value of the Company’s portfolio. Estimated NAV is intended to be an estimate of the value of all of the Company’s assets net of its liabilities. To calculate Estimated NAV, the Company starts with its historical book value, subtracts its historical net investments in real estate and adds its Estimated Portfolio Value (defined on slide 8). Estimated NAV is a non-GAAP financial measure. Silver Bay provides the Estimated NAV and believes such metric is useful as an additional tool for investors seeking to value the Company. This metric 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 (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of the Company’s profitability or liquidity. The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s book value to Estimated NAV: (1) Per share amounts are based upon common shares outstanding of 36,063,187 plus 2,231,511 common units for a total of 38,294,698 fully diluted shares outstanding as of December 31, 2015. (2) 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. (3) Book value as defined by GAAP represents total assets less total liabilities and less preferred stock in mezzanine or total equity.

8 ESTIMATED PORTFOLIO VALUE AND ESTIMATED RENOVATION RESERVE Estimated Portfolio Value refers to the estimated fair market value of the Company’s properties, excluding properties reflected as assets held for sale on the Company’s balance sheets. The Estimated Portfolio Value reflects the aggregated values of Silver Bay’s properties as calculated by the AVM less the Estimated Renovation Reserve. For purposes of calculating Estimated Portfolio Value, Silver Bay does not deduct the estimated costs of selling the properties in its portfolio, including commissions and costs, ascribes no value to existing leases or to the portfolio as a whole (as compared to the sum of the values of the individual properties) and does not consider cash flow or other yield metrics. Estimated Portfolio Value is a non-GAAP financial measure. Silver Bay believes Estimated Portfolio Value is useful as an additional tool for investors seeking to value the Company. This metric 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 (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of the Company’s profitability or liquidity. The difference between the Company’s Estimated Portfolio Value and net investments in real estate as of December 31, 2015 and 2014 is attributable to multiple factors, including aggregate home price appreciation in the Company’s markets, its purchasing at discounts to market prices, value created by its renovations in excess of the cost of the renovations, and the exclusion of accumulated depreciation in the calculation of Estimated Portfolio Value. The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s investments in real estate to Estimated Portfolio Value: (1) Per share amounts are based upon common shares outstanding of 36,063,187 plus 2,231,511 common units for a total of 38,294,698 fully diluted shares outstanding as of December 31, 2015. (2) 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. (3) Difference between AVM derived value of the Company's portfolio of properties of $1.4 billion and $1.1 billion as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which assumes all properties are fully renovated, and net investments in real estate. (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS OTHER THAN SHARE DATA) DECEMBER 31, 2015 DECEMBER 31, 2014 AMOUNT PER SHARE(1) AMOUNT PER SHARE(2) Investments in real estate, gross $ 1,209,684 $ 31.59 $ 948,370 $ 24.35 Accumulated depreciation (74,907) (1.96) (43,150) (1.11) Investments in real estate, net 1,134,777 29.63 905,220 23.24 Add: Increase in estimated fair market value of investments in real estate(3) 300,407 7.85 180,535 4.64 Less: Estimated Renovation Reserve (18,673) (0.49) (5,515) (0.14) Estimated Portfolio Value $ 1,416,511 $ 36.99 $ 1,080,240 $ 27.74 Estimated Renovation Reserve is the estimated renovation cost for properties in the portfolio for which an initial renovation has not been completed by the Company, including properties acquired with an in-place lease. Silver Bay prepares an Estimated Renovation Reserve to account for the AVM assumption that all Silver Bay properties have been fully renovated to above average condition. To calculate the Estimated Renovation Reserve, the Company identifies each property that is either (1) not stabilized and for which an initial renovation has not yet been completed or (2) was acquired with an in-place lease and has not yet undergone an initial renovation performed by the Company (including the recently acquired properties from The American Home Real Estate Investment Trust (“TAH”)). The Company then estimates the remaining renovation expenditures for these properties using historical renovation averages to determine the reserve for properties acquired with an in-place lease and renovation bids, or, if a bid is not yet known, historical averages, for non-stabilized properties, in each case adjusted for the amount of actual renovation expenditures incurred to date. During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company increased the renovation reserve related to the estimated cost of completing the initial renovation on certain properties acquired from TAH based upon a change in estimate using actual experience to date on this portfolio. After completing an initial renovation, the Company does not make additional adjustments to reflect changes to the condition of a property. If the Company does not accurately estimate renovation costs, the Estimated Renovation Reserve may differ materially from the costs actually incurred in renovating its properties, which would have a corresponding impact on the Estimated Portfolio Value and Estimated NAV.

Properties acquired with in-place leases are considered stabilized even though such properties may require future renovation to meet our standards and may have existing residents who would not otherwise meet our resident screening requirements. (2) Average monthly rent for leased properties was calculated as the average of the contracted monthly rent for all leased properties as of December 31, 2015 and reflects rent concessions amortized over the life of the related lease.


 
11 NET OPERATING INCOME 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, and property management expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, the former advisory management fees, management internalization, portfolio acquisition expense, general and administrative expenses, share-based compensation, interest expense, net gain on disposition of real estate, ineffectiveness of interest rate cap agreements, income tax benefit, net, and other non- comparable items as applicable. Additionally, NOI excludes certain property management add backs, such as the former 5% property management fee payable prior to the management internalization because it more closely represents additional advisory management fee, expensed acquisition fees and costs, and certain other property management costs. The Company considers NOI to be a meaningful financial measure when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes NOI is helpful to investors in understanding the core performance of the Company's real estate operations. The following is a reconciliation of the Company's NOI to net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP for the three months and years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 (amounts in thousands): THREE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2015 2014 2015 2014 Net loss $ (798) $ (2,492) $ (9,952) $ (56,697) Depreciation and amortization 10,115 6,823 35,189 25,623 Advisory management fee - affiliates - - - 6,621 Management internalization - 194 - 39,373 Portfolio acquisition expense 18 - 2,064 - General and administrative 3,991 3,016 15,915 10,334 Share-based compensation 718 292 2,613 1,022 Interest expense 5,968 2,876 21,275 11,586 Net gain on disposition of real estate (1,724) (13) (4,044) (174) Ineffectiveness of interest rate cap agreements 51 - 51 480 Other expense 319 101 383 785 Income tax benefit, net (905) - (758) - Property operating and maintenance add back: Market ready costs prior to initial lease and other - 58 169 278 Property management add backs - - - 478 Net operating income $ 17,753 $ 10,855 $ 62,905 $ 39,709 Net operating income as a percentage of total revenue 57.9% 52.5% 55.3% 51.0%


 
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 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 ("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 performance. The Company believes that Core FFO is further helpful to investors as it provides a more consistent measurement of 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, including those associated with the portfolio of properties acquired from The American Home, certain fees and expenses related to the securitization transaction, share-based compensation, costs associated with the management internalization, write-offs of expenses associated with changes in debt structure, income tax (benefit) on the disposition of real estate and certain other non-cash or non-comparable 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 performance against other REITs, not all REITs compute the same non-GAAP measures. 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 impacts 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 added back to net income to calculate FFO and Core FFO.
