Increased Core Net Operating Income ("Core NOI") margin on Same-Home properties to 64.3% for the second quarter of 2017, compared to 62.6% for the same period in 2016.
Increased Core NOI after capital expenditures from Same-Home properties by 7.4% year over year for the quarter ended June 30, 2017.
Maintained solid leasing performance with total and Same-Home portfolio leasing percentages of 95.2% and 96.5%, respectively, as of June 30, 2017.
Achieved rental rate growth with 6.1% and 3.2% rental rate increases on new and renewal leases, respectively, during the quarter ended June 30, 2017.

“We are pleased with our strong operational and financial results for the second quarter, including a 7.4% increase in Core NOI after capital expenditures from our Same-Home properties that demonstrates the strength of our portfolio and operational excellence of our platform,” stated David Singelyn, American Homes 4 Rent’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our recently expanded acquisition program and new homebuilding initiative mark the beginning of the next growth phase in the history of American Homes 4 Rent.  Coupling the strength of our balance sheet and robust access to investment grade forms of capital, we believe our accelerated external growth will leverage the scalability of our best-in-class operating platform, driving further margin expansion and creating long-term value for our shareholders.”
Second Quarter 2017 Financial Results
Total revenues increased 7.6% to $237.0 million for the second quarter of 2017 from $220.3 million for the second quarter of 2016. Revenue growth was primarily driven by continued strong leasing activity, as our average leased portfolio grew to 45,687 homes for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, compared to 44,592 homes for the quarter ended June 30, 2016.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders totaled $0.2 million, or a $0.00 loss per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2017, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $10.4 million, or a $0.04 loss per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2016. This improvement was primarily attributable to higher revenues, lower interest expense and a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense, partially offset by increases in property operating expenses and preferred dividends, as well as by a loss on early extinguishment of debt.
Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 6.5% to $102.7 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $96.5 million for the second quarter of 2016. This increase was primarily due to rental rate growth and lower core property operating expenses. After capital expenditures, Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 7.4% to $95.6 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $89.0 million for the second quarter of 2016. This additional improvement was attributable to our operational enhancements, which also resulted in lower levels of capital expenditures.
Core NOI on our total portfolio increased 9.0% to $131.7 million for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $120.9 million for the second quarter of 2016. This increase was primarily due to substantial growth in rental income resulting from a larger number of leased properties.
Core Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders ("Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders") was $81.5 million, or $0.26 per FFO share and unit, for the second quarter of 2017, compared to $73.5 million, or $0.25 per FFO share and unit, for the second quarter of 2016. Adjusted Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders ("Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders") for the second quarter of 2017 was $70.4 million, or $0.22 per FFO share and unit, compared to $62.6 million, or $0.21 per FFO share and unit, for the second quarter of 2016. This improvement was primarily attributable to significant increases in rental revenue driven by a larger number of leased properties and higher rental rates.
Year-to-Date 2017 Financial Results
Total revenues increased 13.4% to $470.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, from $415.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. Revenue growth was primarily driven by continued strong leasing activity, as our average leased portfolio grew to 45,391 homes for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to 41,862 homes for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016.
Net loss attributable to common shareholders totaled $1.7 million, or a $0.01 loss per basic and diluted share, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $14.8 million, or a $0.06 loss per basic and diluted share, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This improvement was primarily attributable to higher revenues and lower acquisition fees and costs expensed, partially offset by increases in property operating expenses and preferred dividends, as well as a gain on the conversion of Series E convertible units into Series D convertible units in the first quarter of 2016.
Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 7.0% to $206.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to $192.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This increase was primarily due to rental rate growth and lower core property operating expenses. After capital expenditures, Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 8.2% to $193.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to $179.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This additional improvement was attributable to our operational enhancements, which also resulted in lower levels of capital expenditures.
Core NOI on our total portfolio increased 16.0% to $263.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to $227.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. 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 $158.2 million, or $0.51 per FFO share and unit, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, compared to $137.1 million, or $0.48 per FFO share and unit, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders for the six-month period ended June 30, 2017, was $139.3 million, or $0.45 per FFO share and unit, compared to $118.3 million, or $0.42 per FFO share and unit, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2016. This improvement was primarily attributable to significant increases in rental revenue driven by a larger number of leased properties and higher rental rates.
Portfolio
As of June 30, 2017, the Company had 46,089 leased properties, an increase of 804 properties from March 31, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the leased percentage on Same-Home properties was 96.5%, compared to 96.0% as of March 31, 2017.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company’s total portfolio consisted of 48,982 homes, including 582 homes held for sale, compared to 48,336 homes as of March 31, 2017, including 704 homes held for sale, an increase of 646 homes, which included 773 homes acquired and 127 homes sold (including 89 former ARPI properties).
Capital Activities and Balance Sheet
In the second quarter of 2017, the Company entered into a $1.0 billion credit agreement amendment, which lowers our cost of borrowing and provides a more flexible borrowing structure. The amended terms expanded the borrowing capacity of the revolving credit facility to $800.0 million and reduced the borrowing capacity of the term loan facility to $200.0 million. The interest rates were amended to accrue interest at either a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.825% to 1.55% or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.55% for the revolving credit facility and at either a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.90% to 1.75% or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.75% for the term loan facility. The revolving credit facility matures on June 30, 2021, with two six-month extension options at the Company's election, and the term loan facility matures on June 30, 2022.
In the second quarter of 2017, the Company paid off the outstanding principal on the AH4R 2014-SFR1 asset-backed securitization of approximately $455.4 million using proceeds from the Class A common share offering in March 2017 and available cash.
In the second quarter of 2017, the Company issued 6,200,000 5.875% Series F cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred shares in an underwritten public offering, raising gross proceeds of $155.0 million before offering costs of approximately $5.2 million, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share.
In July 2017, the Company issued 4,600,000 5.875% Series G cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred shares in an underwritten public offering, raising gross proceeds of $115.0 million before offering costs of approximately $4.1 million, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share.
As of June 30, 2017, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $67.3 million and had total outstanding debt of $2.5 billion, excluding an unamortized discount on acquired debt, the value of exchangeable senior notes classified within equity and unamortized deferred financing costs, with a weighted-average stated interest rate of 4.06% and a weighted-average term to maturity of 15.1 years. The Company’s $800.0 million revolving credit facility and $200.0 million term loan facility had outstanding borrowings of $92.0 million and $200.0 million, respectively, at the end of the quarter. Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company paid down all outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility using proceeds from the 5.875% Series G cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred offering, leaving the Company's $800.0 million revolving credit facility fully undrawn.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the Second Quarter 2017 Earnings Release and Supplemental Information Package include 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, 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 operating performance, liquidity or ability to pay dividends. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the

(1)
As a portion of our homes are 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.

Reflects the effect of potentially dilutive securities issuable upon the assumed vesting / exercise of restricted stock units and stock options.
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 participating 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 a portion of our homes are 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 income (loss) per share or net cash flow provided by operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our operating performance, liquidity 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, which we also present separately for our Same-Home portfolio, is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that we define as core revenues from single-family properties, which is calculated as rents and fees from single-family properties, net of bad debt expense, less core property operating expenses, which is calculated as property operating and property management expenses, excluding noncash share-based compensation expense, expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs and bad debt expense. Our Same-Home portfolio consists of our single-family properties that have been stabilized longer than 90 days prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented, and that have not been classified as held for sale or taken out of service as a result of a casualty loss.
Core NOI also excludes (1) noncash fair value adjustments associated with remeasuring our participating 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 sales of single-family properties and other, (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 consider Core NOI to be a meaningful financial measure because we believe it is 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. We further adjust Core NOI for our Same-Home portfolio 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.

Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI After Capital Expenditures should be considered only as supplements to net income or loss as a measure of our performance and 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. Additionally, these metrics 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 are reconciliations of core revenues, core property operating expenses, Core NOI, Same-Home Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI After Capital Expenditures to their respective GAAP metrics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (amounts in thousands):
