LAS VEGAS, Oct. 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AMH (NYSE: AMH) (the "Company"), a leading large-scale integrated owner, operator and developer of single-family rental homes, today announced its financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2024.

Additionally, AMH today announced that in October 2024, the Company acquired a portfolio of nearly 1,700 single-family rental homes for approximately $480 million. The acquisition of the well-located, detached, high-quality homes across 13 markets reflects the Company's disciplined and responsible approach to growth as well as the Company's ability to create value by integrating homes onto the AMH platform. The Company funded the transaction through a combination of cash on hand and its previously undrawn revolving credit facility.

• Net income attributable to common shareholders totaled $73.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $74.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023.
• Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO") attributable to common share and unit holders increased 6.3% year-over-year to $0.44 per FFO share and unit for the third quarter of 2024 and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("Adjusted FFO") attributable to common share and unit holders increased 8.0% year-over-year to $0.38 per FFO share and unit for the third quarter of 2024.

• Delivered a total of 753 high-quality and energy-efficient newly constructed homes from our AMH Development Program to our wholly-owned portfolio and unconsolidated joint ventures in the third quarter of 2024.
• Raised Full Year 2024 Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders guidance midpoint by $0.01 per share and unit to $1.77, representing anticipated full year growth of 6.6% over prior year.

"AMH is at the forefront of the increasingly important single-family rental industry because of the quality of our rental homes, our diversified footprint, strength of our operating platform, and seamless execution from our teams. Long-term business fundamentals remain strong and AMH's history of delivering consistent and predictable operating results and growing responsibly will continue to drive shareholder returns for years to come."

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net income attributable to common shareholders totaled $73.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $74.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, for the third quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to a $5.3 million loss on early extinguishment of debt and $3.9 million of hurricane-related charges, net in the third quarter of 2024, partially offset by an increase in other income and expense, net as a result of higher interest income as well as increases in rents and other single-family property revenues exceeding increases in total expenses excluding hurricane-related charges, net.

Rents and other single-family property revenues increased 5.5% to $445.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $421.7 million for the third quarter of 2023. Revenue growth was primarily driven by higher rental rates.

Core NOI from our total portfolio increased 7.7% to $242.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $224.8 million for the third quarter of 2023. This growth was driven by a 6.1% increase in core revenues resulting primarily from higher rental rates, partially offset by a 3.3% increase in core property operating expenses.

For the Company's Same-Home portfolio, core revenues increased 4.4% to $335.6 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $321.6 million for the third quarter of 2023, which was driven by a 5.1% increase in Average Monthly Realized Rent per property, partially offset by a 60 basis point decrease in Average Occupied Days Percentage. Core property operating expenses from Same-Home properties increased 2.6% to $118.5 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $115.5 million for the third quarter of 2023, primarily driven by annual increases in property tax expense and partially offset by lower repairs and maintenance and turnover costs, net. As a result, Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 5.4% to $217.1 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $206.1 million for the third quarter of 2023.

Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders was $183.8 million, or $0.44 per FFO share and unit, for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $171.0 million, or $0.41 per FFO share and unit, for the third quarter of 2023. Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders was $159.7 million, or $0.38 per FFO share and unit, for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $146.2 million, or $0.35 per FFO share and unit, for the third quarter of 2023. These improvements were primarily attributable to increases in rents and other single-family property revenues as a result of higher rental rates exceeding increases in expenses.

Year-to-Date 2024 Financial Results

Net income attributable to common shareholders totaled $275.3 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to $289.6 million, or $0.80 per diluted share, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower net gains on property sales as well as a $6.3 million loss on early extinguishment of debt and $3.9 million of hurricane-related charges, net in the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, partially offset by increases in rents and other single-family property revenues exceeding increases in total expenses excluding hurricane-related charges, net.

Rents and other single-family property revenues increased 6.4% to $1.3 billion for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to $1.2 billion for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. Revenue growth was primarily driven by higher rental rates.

Core NOI from our total portfolio increased 8.0% to $722.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to $669.2 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. This growth was driven by a 6.9% increase in core revenues resulting primarily from higher rental rates, partially offset by a 4.8% increase in core property operating expenses.

For the Company's Same-Home portfolio, core revenues increased 5.2% to $1.0 billion for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to $950.8 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, which was driven by a 5.6% increase in Average Monthly Realized Rent per property as well as higher fees and lower uncollectible rents, partially offset by a 60 basis point decrease in Average Occupied Days Percentage. Core property operating expenses from Same-Home properties increased 4.3% to $347.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to $333.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, primarily driven by annual increases in property tax expense. As a result, Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 5.7% to $652.5 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to $617.4 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023.

Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders was $551.8 million, or $1.32 per FFO share and unit, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to $509.9 million, or $1.23 per FFO share and unit, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders was $490.4 million, or $1.17 per FFO share and unit, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, compared to $448.5 million, or $1.08 per FFO share and unit, for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023. These improvements were primarily attributable to increases in rents and other single-family property revenues as a result of higher rental rates exceeding increases in expenses.

Portfolio

Average Occupied Days Percentage was 95.1% for the third quarter of 2024, compared to 95.8% for the second quarter of 2024.

Investments

As of September 30, 2024, the Company's total single-family properties, excluding properties held for sale, consisted of 58,899 homes, compared to 58,860 homes as of June 30, 2024, an increase of 39 homes during the third quarter of 2024, which included 640 newly constructed homes delivered to our operating portfolio through our AMH Development Program and 16 homes acquired through our traditional acquisition channel, partially offset by 617 homes identified for sale. During the third quarter of 2024, we also developed an additional 113 newly constructed homes which were delivered to our unconsolidated joint ventures, aggregating to 753 total home deliveries through our AMH Development Program. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had 1,003 properties held for sale and 3,271 properties held in unconsolidated joint ventures.

Capital Activities, Balance Sheet and Liquidity

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company paid off the outstanding principal on the AMH 2014- SFR3 asset-backed securitization of approximately $471.8 million.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with a $1.25 billion sustainability-linked revolving credit facility, replacing its previous $1.25 billion revolving credit facility. The interest rate on the new revolving credit facility is at either a daily or Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a 0.10% spread adjustment and a margin ranging from 0.725% to 1.40% or a base rate (determined according to the greater of a prime rate, federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the daily SOFR plus 1.10%) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.40%. In each case, the actual margin is determined based on the Company's credit ratings in effect from time to time. The new revolving credit facility matures on July 16, 2028, with two six-month extension options at the Company's election if certain conditions are met.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $162.5 million and had total outstanding debt of $4.6 billion, excluding unamortized discounts and unamortized deferred financing costs, with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.3% and a weighted-average term to maturity of 12.5 years. The Company had no outstanding borrowings on its $1.25 billion revolving credit facility and had estimated net proceeds of $109.5 million available from future settlement under its At-the-Market Program forward sale agreements at the end of the quarter. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company generated $50.6 million of Retained Cash Flow (defined below) and sold 256 properties generating $81.0 million of net proceeds.

In October 2024, the Company issued and physically settled 2,987,024 Class A common shares under its At-the-Market Program forward sale agreements, receiving net proceeds of $109.8 million. The Company intends to use these net proceeds to repay indebtedness under its revolving credit facility it may incur and for general corporate purposes.

Hurricane Beryl, Debby, Helene and Milton Update

During the third quarter of 2024, Hurricanes Beryl, Debby and Helene impacted certain properties in our Texas, Florida, Georgia and Carolinas markets for minor repair and remediation costs that were not subject to the Company's property and casualty insurance policies. The Company recorded a $3.9 million hurricane-related charge which has been excluded from Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders and our total and Same-Home Core NOI results.

In October 2024, Hurricane Milton impacted certain properties in our Florida market for minor repair and remediation costs that were not subject to the Company's property and casualty insurance policies. The Company is still assessing damages but preliminarily we expect to record a hurricane-related charge in the range of $3 million to $4 million in the fourth quarter of 2024.

2024 Guidance

Set forth below are the Company's current expectations with respect to full year 2024 Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders and our underlying assumptions. In reliance on the exception provided by applicable SEC rules, the Company does not provide guidance for GAAP net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, or a reconciliation of 2024 Core FFO guidance to GAAP net income because we are unable to reasonably predict the following items which are included in GAAP net income: (i) gain on sale and impairment of single-family properties and other, net for consolidated properties and unconsolidated joint ventures, (ii) acquisition and other transaction costs and (iii) hurricane-related charges, net. The actual amounts for any and all of these items could significantly impact our 2024 GAAP net income and, as disclosed in our historical financial results, have significantly impacted GAAP net income in prior periods.

Defined Terms

Average Monthly Realized Rent
For the related period, Average Monthly Realized Rent is calculated as the lease component of rents and other single-family property revenues (i.e., rents from single-family properties) divided by the product of (a) number of properties and (b) Average Occupied Days Percentage, divided by the number of months. For properties partially owned during the period, this calculation is adjusted to reflect the number of days of ownership.

Average Occupied Days Percentage
The number of days a property is occupied in the period divided by the total number of days the property is owned during the same period after initially being placed in-service. This calculation excludes properties classified as held for sale.

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).

Recurring Capital Expenditures
For our Same-Home portfolio, Recurring Capital Expenditures includes replacement costs and other capital expenditures recorded during the period that are necessary to help preserve the value and maintain functionality of our properties. For our total portfolio, we calculate Recurring Capital Expenditures by multiplying (a) current period actual Recurring Capital Expenditures per Same-Home property by (b) our total number of properties, excluding newly acquired non-stabilized properties and properties classified as held for sale.

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 experienced a casualty loss.

Stabilized Property
A property acquired individually (i.e., not through a bulk purchase) is classified as stabilized once it has been renovated by the Company or newly constructed and then initially leased or available for rent for a period greater than 90 days. Properties acquired through a bulk purchase are first considered non-stabilized, as an entire group, until (1) we have owned them for an adequate period of time to allow for complete on-boarding to our operating platform, and (2) a substantial portion of the properties have experienced tenant turnover at least once under our ownership, providing the opportunity for renovations and improvements to meet our property standards. After such time has passed, properties acquired through a bulk purchase are then evaluated on an individual property basis under our standard stabilization criteria.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the Third Quarter 2024 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, Retained Cash Flow, Core NOI and Same-Home Core 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 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 2024 Earnings Release and Supplemental Information Package.

Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders and Retained Cash Flow

FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate in accordance with the definition approved by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding 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 adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis.

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 and other transaction costs incurred with business combinations and the acquisition or disposition of properties as well as nonrecurring items unrelated to ongoing operations, (2) noncash share-based compensation expense, (3) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to our single-family property portfolio, (4) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt and (5) the allocation of income to our perpetual preferred shares in connection with their redemption.

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) capitalized leasing costs incurred during the period. As a portion of our homes are recently developed, 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 newly acquired non-stabilized properties and properties classified as held for 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 shares and units include weighted-average common shares and operating partnership units outstanding, as well as potentially dilutive securities.

Retained Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is helpful as a supplemental measure in assessing the Company's liquidity. This metric is computed by reducing Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders by common distributions.

FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders and Retained Cash Flow are not substitutes for net income or net cash provided by operating activities, each 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 other single-family property revenues, excluding expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs, less core property operating expenses, which is calculated as property operating and property management expenses, excluding noncash share-based compensation expense and expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs.

Core NOI also excludes (1) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to our single-family property portfolio, (2) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (3) gains and losses from sales or impairments of single-family properties and other, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) acquisition and other transaction costs incurred with business combinations and the acquisition or disposition of properties as well as nonrecurring items unrelated to ongoing operations, (6) noncash share-based compensation expense, (7) interest expense, (8) general and administrative expense, and (9) other income and expense, net. 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.

Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI 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, Same-Home core revenues, core property operating expenses, Same-Home core property operating expenses, Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI to their respective GAAP metrics for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in thousands):
