Third Quarter 2016 Financial Results
Total revenues increased 36.8% to $236.1 million for the third quarter of 2016 from $172.6 million for the third quarter of 2015. Revenue growth was primarily driven by continued strong leasing activity, as our total leased portfolio grew to 44,746 homes as of September 30, 2016, which includes 7,249 homes acquired from American Residential Properties ("ARPI"), compared to 35,617 homes as of September 30, 2015.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $21.2 million, or $0.09 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2016, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $28.6 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, for the third quarter of 2015. This improvement was primarily attributable to higher revenues and a net gain on the sale of single-family properties, partially offset by increases in property operating and depreciation expenses resulting from growth in our property count, a rise in interest expense due to higher outstanding borrowings and a loss on the early extinguishment of debt.
Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 10.9% to $65.3 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $58.9 million for the third quarter of 2015. This increase was primarily due to higher average occupancy levels and rental rate growth. After capital expenditures, Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 12.3% to $59.6 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $53.1 million for the third quarter of 2015. This additional improvement was attributable to operational enhancements resulting in lower levels of capital expenditures.
Core NOI on our total portfolio increased 38.2% to $120.4 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $87.2 million for the third quarter of 2015. This increase was primarily due to substantial growth in rental income resulting from a larger number of leased properties, including those acquired from ARPI.
Core Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders ("Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders") was $69.1 million, or $0.24 per FFO share and unit, for the third quarter of 2016, compared to $49.3 million, or $0.19 per FFO share and unit, for the third quarter of 2015. Adjusted Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders ("Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders") for the third quarter of 2016 was $56.6 million, or $0.19 per FFO share and unit, compared to $38.5 million, or $0.15 per FFO share and unit, for the same period in 2015.
Year-to-Date 2016 Financial Results
Total revenues increased 42.2% to $651.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, from $458.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015. Revenue growth was primarily driven by continued strong leasing activity, as our total leased portfolio grew to 44,746 homes as of September 30, 2016, which includes 7,249 homes acquired from ARPI, compared to 35,617 homes as of September 30, 2015.
Net loss attributable to common shareholders was $35.9 million, or $0.15 per basic and diluted share, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $64.1 million, or $0.30 per basic and diluted share, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015. This improvement was primarily attributable to higher revenues, a net gain on the sale of single-family properties and a gain on the conversion of Series E convertible units into Series D convertible units, partially offset by increases in property operating and depreciation expenses resulting from growth in our property count, a rise in interest expense due to higher outstanding borrowings and a loss on the early extinguishment of debt.
Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 8.3% to $197.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to $182.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015. This increase was primarily due to higher average occupancy levels and rental rate growth. After capital expenditures, Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 12.4% to $183.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to $163.1 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015. This additional improvement was attributable to operational enhancements resulting in lower levels of capital expenditures.
Core NOI on our total portfolio increased 40.3% to $347.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to $247.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015. This increase was primarily due to substantial growth in rental income resulting from a larger number of leased properties, including those acquired from ARPI.

Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders was $206.2 million, or $0.72 per FFO share and unit, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, compared to $136.5 million, or $0.51 per FFO share and unit, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2015. Adjusted Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2016, was $174.8 million, or $0.61 per FFO share and unit, compared to $102.3 million, or $0.39 per FFO share and unit, for the same period in 2015.
Core NOI, Same-Home Core NOI, Same-Home Core NOI after capital expenditures, Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders ("FFO attributable to common share and unit holders"), Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, and Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures.

Portfolio
As of September 30, 2016, the Company had 44,746 leased properties, an increase of 17 properties from June 30, 2016. As of September 30, 2016, the leased percentage on Same-Home properties was 95.9%, compared to 97.0% as of June 30, 2016.
Investments
During the third quarter of 2016, the Company’s total portfolio grew to 48,153 homes as of September 30, 2016, including 1,238 homes held for sale, compared to 48,038 homes as of June 30, 2016, including 1,582 homes held for sale, an increase of 115 homes, which included 571 homes acquired, 453 homes sold and 3 homes rescinded. The 453 homes sold during the third quarter of 2016 generated total net proceeds of $56.2 million, resulting in a net gain of $11.7 million.
Capital Activities and Balance Sheet
In July 2016, the Company paid off the $142.0 million of borrowings that had been outstanding on our old credit facility as of June 30, 2016, using proceeds from our 6.35% Series E perpetual preferred share offering. In August 2016, the Company entered into a new $1.0 billion credit agreement, which replaced our existing $800.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility, and includes a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $650.0 million, with a fully extended maturity date of August 2020, and a delayed draw term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million, with a fully extended maturity date of August 2021. The interest rate on the new revolving credit facility is, at the Company's election, a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.30% or a base rate (generally determined according to a prime rate or federal funds rate) plus a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.30%. Loans under the term loan facility accrue interest, at the Company's election, at either a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 1.70% to 2.30% or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.70% to 1.30%. In each case, the actual margin is determined according to a ratio of the Company's total indebtedness to total asset value in effect from time to time. Based on current credit metrics for LIBOR based borrowings as of September 30, 2016, the revolving credit facility bears interest at a LIBOR rate plus 1.85% and the term loan facility bears interest at a LIBOR rate plus 1.80%.
In September 2016, the Company paid off the $342.1 million ARP 2014-SFR1 asset-backed securitization, using available cash and borrowings from our credit facilities.
In September 2016, the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation sold 43.5 million of the Company's Class A common shares of beneficial interest, with a $0.01 par value per share, in a registered offering. The Company did not offer any Class A common shares and did not receive any proceeds in the secondary offering.
As of September 30, 2016, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $106.3 million and had total outstanding debt of $3.0 billion, excluding an unamortized discount on acquired debt, the value of exchangeable senior notes classified within equity and
3
unamortized deferred loan costs, with a weighted-average stated interest rate of 3.72% and a weighted-average term to maturity of 13.6 years. The Company’s new $650.0 million revolving credit facility and $350.0 million term loan facility had outstanding balances of $75.0 million and $250.0 million, respectively, at the end of the quarter.

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 we will continue to capture the benefits of our recent maintenance initiatives and will continue to generate strong results. 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.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the Third Quarter 2016 Supplemental Information Package include FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, Core NOI, Same-Home Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI after capital expenditures, 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 Third Quarter 2016 Supplemental Information Package.

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 or impairment of 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, (3) noncash interest expense related to acquired debt, (4) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (5) noncash gain or loss on conversion of convertible units and (6) noncash fair value adjustments associated with remeasuring our Series E convertible units liability and preferred shares derivative liability to fair value.
Adjusted 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 Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders for (1) recurring capital expenditures that are necessary to help preserve the value and maintain functionality of our properties and (2) actual leasing costs incurred during the period. As many of our homes are still recently acquired and / or renovated, we estimate recurring capital expenditures for our entire portfolio by multiplying (a) current period actual capital expenditures per Same-Home property by (b) our total number of properties, excluding non-stabilized and held for sale properties.
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 and Adjusted 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, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders are not a substitute for net cash flow provided by operating activities or net income (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.
Core Net Operating Income
Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures that we define as rents and fees from single-family properties, net of bad debt expense, less property operating expenses for single-family properties, excluding expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs and bad debt expense. 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. Single-family properties that we acquire individually (i.e., not through a bulk purchase) are classified as either stabilized or non-stabilized. 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.
Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI also excludes (1) noncash fair value adjustments associated with remeasuring our Series E convertible units liability and preferred shares derivative liability to fair value, (2) noncash gain or loss on conversion of convertible units, (3) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (4) gain or loss on sale of single-family properties, (5) depreciation and amortization, (6) acquisition fees and costs expensed incurred with recent business combinations and the acquisition of individual properties, (7) noncash share-based compensation expense, (8) interest expense, (9) general and administrative expense, (10) other expenses and (11) other revenues. We further adjust Same-Home Core NOI by subtracting capital expenditures to calculate Same-Home Core NOI after capital expenditures, which we believe is a meaningful supplemental non-GAAP financial measure because it more fully reflects our operating performance after the impact of all property-level expenditures, regardless of whether they are capitalized or expensed.
We consider Core NOI, Same-Home Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI after capital expenditures to be meaningful financial measures because we believe they are helpful to investors in understanding the operating performance of our single-family properties without the impact of certain operating expenses that are reimbursed through tenant charge-backs.
Core NOI, Same-Home Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI after capital expenditures should be considered only as supplements

to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance. Core NOI, Same-Home Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI after capital expenditures 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. Core NOI, Same-Home Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI after capital expenditures also should not be used as substitutes for net income (loss) or net cash flows from operating activities (as computed in accordance with GAAP).
The following is a reconciliation of net loss attributable to common shareholders, determined in accordance with GAAP, to Core NOI, Same-Home Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI after capital expenditures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (amounts in thousands):
