American Homes 4 Rent Reports Third Quarter 2018 Financial and Operating Results
AGOURA HILLS, Calif., Nov. 1, 2018—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 ended September 30, 2018.
Highlights
Total revenues increased 13.5% to $280.1 million for the third quarter of 2018 from $246.8 million for the third quarter of 2017.
Net income attributable to common shareholders totaled $15.2 million, or $0.05 income per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2018, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $1.5 million, or a $0.00 loss per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2017.
Core Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders for the third quarter of 2018 was $94.6 million, or $0.27 per FFO share and unit, compared to $79.4 million, or $0.25 per FFO share and unit, for the same period in 2017, which represents an 8.0% increase on a per share and unit basis.
Adjusted Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders for the third quarter of 2018 was $79.4 million, or $0.23 per FFO share and unit, compared to $67.1 million, or $0.21 per FFO share and unit, for the same period in 2017.
Core Net Operating Income ("Core NOI") margin on Same-Home properties was 63.4% for the third quarter of 2018, compared to 63.8% for the same period in 2017.
Core NOI after capital expenditures from Same-Home properties increased by 3.4% year-over-year for the third quarter of 2018.
Same-Home portfolio Average Occupied Days Percentage increased to 95.2% for the third quarter of 2018, compared to 94.1% for the third quarter of 2017, while achieving 3.4% growth in Average Monthly Realized Rent per property for the same comparable periods.
Entered into a $156.3 million joint venture with a leading institutional investor to create a portfolio of newly constructed single-family rental homes, which will be developed and managed by the Company, providing additional scale and institutional endorsement of the Company's growing built-for-rental strategy.
Issued 4,600,000 6.25% Series H perpetual preferred shares, raising gross proceeds of $115.0 million before offering costs (see "Capital Activities and Balance Sheet").

“Macro fundamentals of the single-family rental sector remain robust and our expectation is that they are likely to strengthen further as rising interest rates continue to pressure home affordability in the U.S.,” stated David Singelyn, American Homes 4 Rent’s Chief Executive Officer. “During the third quarter, we continued to experience record high volumes of prospective tenant traffic per available home that enabled us to drive a 110 basis point year-over-year increase in our Same-Home average occupied days percentage, while achieving strong blended leasing spreads of 4.1%. Looking forward, we believe that we still have significant runway ahead to continue optimizing our operations, while leveraging the scale of our platform to create long-term value for our shareholders.”
Third Quarter 2018 Financial Results
Net income attributable to common shareholders totaled $15.2 million, or $0.05 income per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2018, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $1.5 million, or a $0.00 loss per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2017. This increase was primarily attributable to higher revenues resulting from a larger number of leased properties and higher rental rates.

Total revenues increased 13.5% to $280.1 million for the third quarter of 2018 from $246.8 million for the third quarter of 2017. Revenue growth was primarily driven by continued strong acquisition and leasing activity, as our average leased portfolio grew to 47,898 homes for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, compared to 46,058 homes for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, as well as higher rental rates.
Core NOI on our total portfolio increased 11.1% to $146.1 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $131.5 million for the third quarter of 2017. This increase was primarily due to growth in rental income resulting from a larger number of leased properties.
Core revenues from Same-Home properties increased 4.4% to $172.0 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $164.8 million for the third quarter of 2017. This growth was primarily driven by a 3.4% increase in Average Monthly Realized Rent and an increase in Average Occupied Days Percentage to 95.2% from 94.1%. Core property operating expenses from Same-Home properties increased 5.4% from $59.7 million for the third quarter of 2017 to $63.0 million for the third quarter of 2018, which was primarily attributable to property tax expense timing and higher repairs and maintenance costs, which included $0.3 million of costs to repair damages resulting from Hurricane Florence.
Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 3.8% to $109.1 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $105.1 million for the third quarter of 2017. After capital expenditures, Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 3.4% to $100.1 million for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $96.8 million for the third quarter of 2017. The increase in Core NOI from Same-Home properties was primarily attributable to an increase in rental revenue driven by higher Average Monthly Realized Rent and Average Occupied Days Percentage during the third quarter of 2018.The resulting increase in Core NOI after Capital Expenditures from Same-Home properties was offset, in part, by higher recurring capital expenditures primarily due to hotter summer temperatures, resulting in higher HVAC costs.
Core Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders ("Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders") was $94.6 million, or $0.27 per FFO share and unit, for the third quarter of 2018, compared to $79.4 million, or $0.25 per FFO share and unit, for the third quarter of 2017. 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 2018 was $79.4 million, or $0.23 per FFO share and unit, compared to $67.1 million, or $0.21 per FFO share and unit, for the third quarter of 2017. This improvement was primarily attributable to increases in rental revenue driven by a larger number of leased properties and higher rental rates.
Year-to-Date 2018 Financial Results
Net income attributable to common shareholders totaled $5.8 million, or $0.02 income per diluted share, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $0.1 million, or a $0.00 loss per diluted share, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. This increase was primarily attributable to higher revenues resulting from a larger number of leased properties and higher rental rates, partially offset by a noncash charge related to the redemption of the Series C participating preferred shares through a conversion into Class A common shares in April 2018.
Total revenues increased 11.8% to $802.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, from $717.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. Revenue growth was primarily driven by continued strong leasing activity, as our average leased portfolio grew to 47,617 homes for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to 45,550 homes for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, as well as higher rental rates.
Core NOI on our total portfolio increased 8.6% to $429.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, compared to $394.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. This increase was primarily due to growth in rental income resulting from a larger number of leased properties.

Core revenues from Same-Home properties increased 3.8% to $512.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, compared to $493.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. This growth was primarily driven by a 3.6% increase in Average Monthly Realized Rent. Core property operating expenses from Same-Home properties increased 6.5% from $173.3 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017, to $184.6 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, which was primarily attributable to temporarily elevated turnover costs through April 2018, incurred as part of the Company's initiative to strengthen occupancy.
Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 2.3% to $327.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $320.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. After capital expenditures, Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 2.2% to $306.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, from $299.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. The increases in Core NOI from Same-Home properties and Core NOI After Capital Expenditures from Same-Home properties were primarily attributable to increases in rental revenue driven by higher rental rates during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, offset by higher R&M and turnover costs during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018.
Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders was $273.1 million, or $0.78 per FFO share and unit, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, compared to $237.6 million, or $0.76 per FFO share and unit, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2017. Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2018, was $236.2 million, or $0.68 per FFO share and unit, compared to $207.2 million, or $0.66 per FFO share and unit, for the same period in 2017.
Portfolio
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had a total leased percentage of 95.2%, compared to 96.3% as of June 30, 2018. The leased percentage on Same-Home properties was 96.2% as of September 30, 2018, compared to 97.1% as of June 30, 2018.
Investments
As of September 30, 2018, the Company’s total portfolio consisted of 52,464 homes, including 2,266 properties to be disposed, compared to 52,049 homes as of June 30, 2018, including 2,209 properties to be disposed, an increase of 415 homes, which included 401 properties acquired through traditional acquisition channels, 168 newly constructed properties delivered through our AMH Development and National Builder Programs and 154 homes sold, rescinded or contributed to an unconsolidated joint venture.
Capital Activities and Balance Sheet
During the third quarter of 2018, the Company issued 4,600,000 6.25% Series H cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred shares in an underwritten public offering, raising gross proceeds of $115.0 million before offering costs of approximately $4.0 million, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share.
In August 2018, the Company entered into a $156.3 million joint venture with a leading institutional investor to develop, lease, and operate newly constructed single-family rental homes located in select submarkets in the Southeast. The Company holds a 20% unconsolidated interest in the joint venture and is entitled to its proportionate share of cash flows over the joint venture term of five years, along with opportunity for a promoted interest and fees for services the Company will provide to the joint venture.
As of September 30, 2018, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $110.1 million and had total outstanding debt of $2.7 billion, excluding unamortized discounts, the value of exchangeable senior notes classified within equity and unamortized deferred financing costs, with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.21% and a weighted-average term to maturity of 14.0 years. The Company

(1)
As previously communicated, we expected the full year Average Occupied Days Percentage to be below the midpoint of previous guidance range due to modest leasing disruption from Hurricane Florence. Additionally, as a result of recent field personnel turnover, we now expect occupancy softness in certain markets in the fourth quarter of 2018 and are therefore revising the guidance range to 94.75% to 95.25%.
(2)
Revised as a result of lowered Average Occupied Days Percentage guidance.
Note: The Company does not provide guidance for the most comparable GAAP financial measures of net income or loss, total revenues and property operating expenses, or a reconciliation of the above-listed forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures because we are unable to reasonably predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures, including non-recurring and infrequent items that are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operations. Such items include, but are not limited to, net gain or loss on sales and impairment of single-family properties, casualty loss, Non-Same-Home revenues and Non-Same-Home property operating expenses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on our GAAP results for the guidance period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release and the Third Quarter 2018 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 or 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 most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release and in the Third Quarter 2018 Earnings Release and 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 business combinations and the acquisition of individual properties, (2) noncash share-based compensation expense, (3) noncash interest expense related to acquired debt, (4) hurricane-related charges, net, (5) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (6) noncash gain or loss on redemption or conversion of shares or units and (7) 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 recurring capital expenditures per Same-Home Property by (b) our total number of properties, excluding non-stabilized properties and properties identified as part of our disposition program, which is comprised of properties classified as held for sale and properties identified for future sale.
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 investors and analysts in evaluating the Company. We believe that FFO attributable to common share and unit holders provides useful information to investors because 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, provide useful information to investors because 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 or 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, 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, identified for future 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 shares or units, (3) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (4) hurricane-related charges, net, (5) gain or loss on sales of single-family properties and other, (6) depreciation and amortization, (7) acquisition fees and costs expensed incurred with business combinations and the acquisition of individual properties, (8) noncash share-based compensation expense, (9) interest expense, (10) general and administrative expense, (11) other expenses and (12) other revenues. We believe Core NOI provides useful information to investors about 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 recurring capital expenditures to calculate Same-Home Core NOI

After Capital Expenditures, which we believe provides useful information to investors 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 or 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 (amounts in thousands):
