American Homes 4 Rent Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2015 Financial and Operating Results
AGOURA HILLS, California—American Homes 4 Rent (NYSE: AMH) (the “Company”), a leading provider of high quality single-family homes for rent, today announced its financial and operating results for the quarter and full year ended December 31, 2015.
Highlights
Core Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders (“Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders”) (as defined) for the fourth quarter of 2015 was $53.8 million, or $0.21 per FFO share and unit, compared to $42.0 million, or $0.16 per FFO share and unit, for the same period in 2014, which represents a 30.0% increase on a per share and unit basis.
Core Net Operating Income from Same-Home properties increased 10.5% and 8.6% year over year for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015, respectively.
Maintained solid leasing performance with total and stabilized portfolio leased percentages of 93.9% and 95.6%, respectively, as of December 31, 2015.
Net Operating Income from initially leased properties (“Initially Leased Property NOI”) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, was $95.2 million, a 40.0% increase from $68.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.
Total portfolio increased by 403 homes to 38,780 as of December 31, 2015, from 38,377 as of September 30, 2015.
During December 2015, the Company, American Residential Properties, Inc. (“ARPI”) and certain of our and their subsidiaries entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (see “Merger with American Residential Properties, Inc.” later in this press release).  
“We finished 2015 on a strong note, with another quarter of solid leasing and operating performance resulting in a stabilized leased percentage of 95.6% and year over year Same-Home quarterly Core NOI growth of 10.5%," stated David Singelyn, American Homes 4 Rent's Chief Executive Officer. "As we discussed throughout the year, we have made significant improvements to our operating platform in 2015, implementing best practices and fine-tuning our processes. With our announced merger with American Residential Properties, we believe we are well positioned and confident in our ability to continue to drive value for our shareholders in 2016 and beyond."
Fourth Quarter 2015 Financial Results
Total revenues increased 47.6% to $172.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2015 from $116.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. Revenue growth was primarily driven by continued strong leasing activity, as our average leased portfolio grew to 36,010 homes for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to 27,206 homes for the fourth quarter of 2014.
Core Net Operating Income from Same-Home properties increased 10.5% to $59.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $53.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. This increase was primarily due to higher average occupancy levels, rental rate growth and a reduction in property operating expenses.
Initially Leased Property NOI increased 40.0% to $95.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $68.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2014. This increase was primarily due to substantial growth in rental income resulting from a larger number of leased properties.
Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders was $53.8 million, or $0.21 per FFO share and unit, for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to $42.0 million, or $0.16 per FFO share and unit, for the fourth quarter of 2014.

Earnings Press Release (continued)

Net loss totaled $11.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2015, compared to a net loss of $10.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2014.
Full Year 2015 Financial Results
Total revenues increased 58.1% to $630.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, from $398.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Revenue growth was primarily driven by continued strong leasing activity, as our average leased portfolio grew to 33,271 homes for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to 23,154 homes for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Core Net Operating Income from Same-Home properties increased 8.6% to $130.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $119.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. This increase was primarily due to higher average occupancy levels and rental rate growth, partially offset by an increase in property operating expenses, which was driven by higher property taxes.
Initially Leased Property NOI increased 48.0% to $343.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $231.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. This increase was primarily due to substantial growth in rental income resulting from a larger number of leased properties.
Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders was $190.4 million, or $0.72 per FFO share and unit, for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $143.8 million, or $0.57 per FFO share and unit, for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Net loss totaled $47.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to a net loss of $33.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014.

On December 3, 2015, we, ARPI and certain of our and their subsidiaries entered into a definitive Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"). Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, ARPI will merge with and into a wholly owned subsidiary of us in a stock-for-stock transaction, with our subsidiary continuing as the surviving entity (the "Merger"), which was unanimously approved by the members of our board of trustees present at the meeting and by the board of directors of ARPI.

The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect changes in the price of our Class A common shares or the price of ARPI common stock occurring prior to the completion of the Merger. It is anticipated that we will issue approximately 36,553,308 Class A common shares and 1,370,626 Class A units in connection with the Merger, representing approximately 12.7% of the total pro forma Class A common shares, Class B common shares and units of our operating partnership, collectively.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains “forward-looking statements.” These forward-looking statements relate to beliefs, expectations or intentions and similar statements concerning matters that are not of historical fact and are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “potential,” “plan,” “goal” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Examples of forward-looking statements contained in this press release include, among others, our belief that, as a result of the Merger, we are well positioned to continue to drive shareholder value. The Company has based these forward-looking statements on its current expectations and assumptions about future events. While the Company's management considers these expectations to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the Company’s control and could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, failure to plan and manage the Merger effectively and efficiently; the possibility that the anticipated benefits from the Merger may not be realized or may take longer than anticipated; unexpected costs or unexpected liabilities that may arise from the Merger; the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been or may be instituted against the Company or others relating to the Merger; and the ability of the Company to successfully integrate pending transactions and implement its operating strategy. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to conform to actual results or changes in its expectations, unless required by applicable law. For a further description of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to the business of the Company in general, see the “Risk Factors” disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, and in the Company’s subsequent filings with the SEC.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the Fourth Quarter 2015 Supplemental Information Package include FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders and Initially Leased Property NOI, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures are helpful in understanding our financial performance and are widely used in the REIT industry. Because other REITs may not compute these financial measures in the same manner, they may not be comparable among REITs. In addition, these metrics are not substitutes for net income / (loss) or net cash flows from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, as measures of our liquidity, operating performance or ability to pay dividends. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release and in the Fourth Quarter 2015 Supplemental Information Package.

FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adjusting FFO attributable to common share and unit holders for (i) acquisition fees and costs expensed incurred with recent business combinations and the acquisition of individual properties, (ii) noncash share-based compensation expense and (iii) noncash fair value adjustments associated with remeasuring our Series E convertible units liability and preferred shares derivative liability to fair value.

Our credit facility provides for borrowing capacity of up to $800.0 million through March 2016 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.75% (3.125% beginning in March 2017). Any outstanding borrowings upon expiration of the credit facility period in March 2016 will become due in September 2018. Balance reflects borrowings outstanding as of end of period. Years to maturity based on final maturity date in September 2018.
(3)
AH4R 2014-SFR1 bears interest at a duration-weighted blended interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.54%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.25%. Years to maturity reflects a fully extended maturity date of June 2019, which is based on an initial two-year loan term and three, 12-month extension options, at the Company’s election, provided there is no event of default and compliance with certain other terms.
(4)
AH4R 2015-SFR1 and AH4R 2015-SFR2 have maturity dates in April 2045 and October 2045, respectively, with anticipated repayment dates in April 2025 and October 2025, respectively. In the event the loans are not repaid by each respective anticipated repayment date, the interest rate on each component is increased to a rate per annum equal to the sum of 3% plus the greater of: (a) the initial interest rate and (b) a rate equal to the sum of (i) the bid side yield to maturity for the “on the run” United States Treasury note with a 10 year maturity plus the mid-market 10 year swap spread, plus (ii) the component spread for each component.

(1)
Initial redemption period reflects the timeframe during which the Company has the option to redeem the preferred shares for cash or Class A common shares, at a redemption price equal to the initial liquidation value, adjusted by an amount equal to 50% of the cumulative change in value of an index based on the purchase prices of single-family properties located in our top 20 markets (the “HPA adjustment”), subject to a cap, such that the total internal rate of return, when considering the initial liquidation value, the HPA adjustment and the dividends up to, but excluding, the date of redemption, will not exceed 9.0%. If not redeemed by the end of the initial redemption period, the initial liquidation value will be adjusted by the HPA adjustment as of the end of the initial redemption period and the cumulative annual cash dividend rate will be prospectively increased to 10% of the adjusted liquidation value. Any time after the end of the initial liquidation period, the Company has the option to redeem the preferred shares for cash or Class A common shares, at a redemption price equal to the adjusted liquidation value.
(2)
Current liquidation value reflects initial liquidation value, adjusted by most recent quarterly HPA adjustment calculation, which is made available under the “For Investors” page of the Company’s website.

Equity Capitalization
Equity capitalization includes market value of all common shares and operating partnership units (based on NYSE AMH Class A common share closing price at end of respective period) and current liquidation value of preferred shares at end of respective period.

FFO / Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders
FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental measure of our performance. We compute this metric by adjusting FFO attributable to common share and unit holders for (1) acquisition fees and costs expensed incurred with recent business combinations and the acquisition of individual properties, (2) noncash share-based compensation expense and (3) noncash fair value adjustments associated with remeasuring our Series E convertible units liability and preferred shares derivative liability to fair value.

We present FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, as well as on a per FFO share and unit basis, because we consider this metric to be an important measure of the performance of real estate companies, as do many analysts in evaluating the Company. We believe that FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a helpful measure of a REIT’s performance since this metric excludes depreciation, which is included in computing net income and assumes the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. We believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions and in response to inflation.
 
 
We also believe that Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, as well as on a per FFO share and unit basis, are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of the operating performance of the Company as they allow investors to compare our operating performance to prior reporting periods without the effect of certain items that, by nature, are not comparable from period to period.

FFO and Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders are not a substitute for net cash flow provided by operating activities or net loss per share, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our liquidity, operating performance or ability to pay dividends. These metrics also are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. Because other REITs may not compute these measures in the same manner, they may not be comparable among REITs.

Refer to FFO and Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders for a reconciliation of these metrics to net loss attributable to common shareholders, determined in accordance with GAAP.

FFO Shares
FFO shares includes weighted-average common shares outstanding and assumes full conversion of all operating partnership units outstanding, at end of respective period.

Leased Property
A property is classified as leased upon the execution (i.e., signature) of a lease agreement.

Market Capitalization
Market capitalization includes equity capitalization, principal balances on asset-backed securitizations and secured note payable and borrowings outstanding under our credit facility at end of respective period.

Initially Leased Property NOI and Core NOI
Initially Leased Property NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that we define as rents and fees from single-family properties and tenant charge-backs, less property operating expenses for leased single-family properties. Initially Leased Property Core NOI is also a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that we define as rents and fees from single-family properties, net of bad debt expense, less property operating expenses for initially leased single-family properties, excluding expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs and bad debt expense.

Initially Leased Property NOI and Core NOI also exclude remeasurement of preferred shares, remeasurement of Series E convertible units, depreciation and amortization, acquisition fees and costs expensed, noncash share-based compensation expense, interest expense, general and administrative expense, property operating expenses for vacant single-family properties and other, and other revenues.

We consider Initially Leased Property NOI to be a meaningful financial measure because we believe it is helpful to investors in understanding the operating performance of our leased single-family properties. Additionally, we believe Initially Leased Property Core NOI is helpful to our investors as it better reflects the operating margin performance of our leased single-family properties and excludes the impact of certain operating expenses that are reimbursed through tenant charge-backs.

Initially Leased Property NOI and Core NOI should be considered only as supplements to net loss as measures of our performance. Initially Leased Property NOI and Core NOI should not be used as measures of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. Initially Leased Property NOI and Core NOI also should not be used as substitutes for net loss or net cash flows from operating activities (as computed in accordance with GAAP).

Refer to Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures for a reconciliation of Initially Leased Property NOI and Core NOI to net loss, determined in accordance with GAAP.
 
 
Occupied Property
A property is classified as occupied upon commencement (i.e., start date) of a lease agreement, which can occur contemporaneously with or subsequent to execution (i.e., signature).

Re-Lease Spread
Re-Lease spreads are calculated as the percentage change in annual rent on properties re-leased during the period, compared to annual rent of the previous expired lease for each individual property.

Renewal Rate
Renewal rate is calculated as the number of renewed leases in a given period divided by total number of lease expirations during the same period.

Renewal Spread
Renewal spreads are calculated as the percentage change in rent on non-month-to-month lease renewals during the period.

Retention Rate
Retention rate is calculated as the number of renewed leases in a given period divided by the sum of total lease expirations and early terminations during the same period.

Same-Home Property
A property is classified as Same-Home if it has been stabilized longer than 90 days prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented under comparison. A property is removed from Same-Home if it has been classified as held for sale or has been taken out of service as a result of a casualty loss.

Stabilized Property
A property is classified as stabilized once it has been renovated and then initially leased or available for rent for a period greater than 90 days.
