Management Commentary

“For the first quarter of 2024, we delivered a 3.4% increase in same-store revenue, supported by our focus on driving occupancy. Our same-store average occupancy improved 120 basis points in the quarter on a year-over-year basis to 94.4%, and we continued to see positive momentum in April, with average occupancy rising to 95.0%,” said Scott Schaeffer, Chairman and CEO of IRT. “We also continued to successfully execute our business plan, including the advancement of our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy. As of March 31, 2024, we had sold nine of the ten non-core assets and exited four single-asset markets while further strengthening our balance sheet, which helped us achieve an investment grade rating from Fitch Ratings, as announced last month. We look forward to building on our first quarter successes during the remainder of the year.”

Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy Update

On October 30, 2023, we announced our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, which targeted sales of 10 properties located in seven markets in order to exit or reduce our presence in these markets while also deleveraging our balance sheet. As of March 31, 2024, nine of the ten properties had been sold for a total gross sales price of $496.8 million and proceeds from the sales were used to repay $488.9 million of debt.

Value Add Program

We completed renovations on 320 units during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, achieving a return on investment of 18.0%, with an average cost per unit renovated of $18,136, and an average monthly rent increase per unit of $272 over unrenovated comps. See the Value Add Summary page of our supplemental for additional information on our projects’ life to date as of March 31, 2024.

Investment Activity

Properties Held for Sale and Dispositions

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, in connection with our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, we sold five properties for a combined sales price of $296.1 million and we recognized a net gain of $25.6 million.

As of March 31, 2024, we had two properties classified as held for sale.

•Reserve at Creekside, Chattanooga, Tennessee: This tenth and final property targeted for sale under our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy is under contract and expected to close in the second quarter of 2024.

•Tapestry Park, Birmingham Alabama: During the three months ended March 31, 2024, in connection with our capital recycling program, we identified this asset as held for sale and recognized a loss on impairment of $15.1 million. The property is now under contract and is expected to close during the third quarter of 2024.

While the two properties classified as held for sale are under contract, there can be no assurance that the sales will be consummated at expected pricing levels, within expected time frames, or at all.

Capital Expenditures

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $4.9 million, or $151 per unit, value add and non-recurring expenditures for the total portfolio were $21.9 million and development expenditures for the total portfolio were $11.0 million, respectively.

On March 11, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share of common stock. The first quarter dividend was paid on April 19, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on March 29, 2024.

2024 Guidance Assumptions

Our key guidance assumptions for 2024 are enumerated below. See the definitions at the end of this release for further information regarding our same-store definitions.

Same-Store Portfolio	Previous 2024 Outlook(1)	Current 2024 Outlook(1)	Change at Midpoint
Number of properties/units	109 properties / 32,507 units	108 properties / 32,153 units	(1) property / (354) units
Property revenue growth	3.0% to 4.5%	3.0% to 4.5%	—
Controllable operating expense growth	4.9% to 5.9%	4.9% to 5.9%	—
Real estate tax and insurance expense growth	6.1% to 7.1%	6.1% to 7.1%	—
Total operating expense growth	5.4% to 6.4%	5.4% to 6.4%	—
NOI growth	1.0% to 4.0%	1.0% to 4.0%	—
Corporate Expenses
General and administrative & property     management expenses	$51.5 million to $54.5 million	$51.5 million to $54.5 million	—
Interest expense(2)	$83.0 million to $85.0 million	$83.0 million to $85.0 million	—
Transaction/Investment Volume
Acquisition volume	None	$0 million to $40 million	$20 million
Disposition volume(3)	$324 million	$392 million to $396 million	$70 million
Capital Expenditures
Recurring	$21.0 million to $23.0 million	$21.0 million to $23.0 million	—
Value add & non-recurring	$83.0 million to $85.0 million	$83.0 million to $85.0 million	—
Development	$54.5 million to $55.5 million	$54.5 million to $55.5 million	—

(1)This guidance, including the underlying assumptions, constitutes forward-looking information. Actual results could vary significantly from the projections presented. See “Forward-Looking Statements” .

(2)Interest expense includes amortization of deferred financing costs but excludes loan premium accretion, net. As a result of purchase accounting we recorded loan premiums, net, that are accreted into and reduce GAAP interest expense over the remaining term of the associated debt. However, loan premium accretion is excluded from CFFO.

(3)Includes $296 million related to the sale of five properties sold during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and $96 million to $100 million related to two properties held for sale as of March 31, 2024. We continue to evaluate our portfolio for capital recycling opportunities so actual acquisition and disposition volume could vary significantly from our projections. We undertake no duty to update these assumptions. See “Forward-Looking Statements”.

DEFINITIONS

Average Effective Monthly Rent per Unit

Average effective rent per unit represents the average of gross rent amounts, divided by the average occupancy (in units) for the period presented. We believe average effective rent is a helpful measurement in evaluating average pricing. This metric, when presented, reflects the average effective rent per month.

Average Occupancy

Average occupancy represents the average occupied units for the reporting period divided by the average of total units available for rent for the reporting period.

Development Property

A development property is a property that is either currently under development or is in lease-up prior to reaching overall occupancy of 90%.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense including amortization of deferred financing costs, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA before certain other non-cash or non-operating gains or losses related to items such as loss on impairment (gain on sale) of real estate, debt extinguishments and acquisition related debt extinguishment expenses, casualty (gains) losses, merger and integration costs, income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, and restructuring costs. We consider each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of performance because it eliminates interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash or non-operating gains and losses, which permits investors to view income from operations without these non-cash or non-operating items. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA differs from the methodology used for calculating Adjusted EBITDA by certain other REITs and, accordingly, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA reported by other REITs.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Core Funds From Operations (“CFFO”)

We believe that FFO and CFFO, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure, are additional appropriate measures of the operating performance of a REIT and us in particular. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), as net income or loss allocated to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense, loss on impairment (gain on sale) of real estate and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles. While our calculation of FFO is in accordance with NAREIT’s definition, it may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to FFO computations of such other REITs.

CFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations, including depreciation and amortization of other items not included in FFO, and other non-cash or non-operating gains or losses related to items such as casualty (gains) losses, loan premium accretion and discount amortization, debt extinguishment costs, merger and integration costs, and restructuring costs from the determination of FFO.

Our calculation of CFFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating CFFO by other REITs and, accordingly, our CFFO may not be comparable to CFFO reported by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO and CFFO as measures of our operating performance, and believe they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash or non-recurring items that are required by GAAP to be expensed but may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, CFFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we

26

believe that FFO and CFFO may provide us and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to certain other REITs. Neither FFO nor CFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and CFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Accordingly, FFO and CFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization and capital improvements. Neither FFO nor CFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Interest Coverage

Interest coverage is a ratio computed by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by interest expense.

Net Debt

Net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, equals total consolidated debt less cash and cash equivalents and loan premiums and discounts. The following table provides a reconciliation of total consolidated debt to net debt (dollars in thousands).

	As of
	Mar 31, 2024		Dec 31, 2023		Sep 30, 2023		Jun 30, 2023		Mar 31, 2023
Total debt	$	2,277,098	$	2,549,409	$	2,715,710	$	2,650,805	$	2,628,632
Less: cash and cash equivalents	(21,275)		(22,852)		(17,216)		(14,349)		(12,448)
Less: loan discounts and premiums, net	(39,804)		(44,483)		(50,772)		(53,520)		(56,256)
Total net debt	$	2,216,019	$	2,482,074	$	2,647,722	$	2,582,936	$	2,559,928

We present net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA because management believes it is a useful measure of our credit position and progress toward reducing leverage. The calculation is limited because we may not always be able to use cash to repay debt on a dollar for dollar basis.

Net Operating Income

We believe that Net Operating Income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding interest expense, depreciation and amortization, casualty related costs and gains, property management expenses, general and administrative expenses, net gains on sale of assets, merger and integration costs, and restructuring costs.

Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income. We use NOI to evaluate our performance on a same-store and non same-store basis because NOI measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance and captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

Non Same-Store Properties and Non Same-Store Portfolio

Properties that did not meet the definition of a same-store property as of the beginning of the previous year.

Same-Store Properties and Same-Store Portfolio

We review our same-store portfolio at the beginning of each calendar year. Properties are added into the same-store portfolio if they were owned and not a development property at the beginning of the previous year. Properties that are held for sale or have been sold are excluded from the same-store portfolio.

Rent Premium on Value Add Renovations

The rent premium reflects the per unit per month difference between the rental rate on the renovated unit excluding the impact of upfront concessions, if any, and the market rent for an unrenovated unit as of the date presented, as determined by management consistent with its customary rent-setting and evaluation procedures. We believe excluding the impact of upfront concessions from our rental rates when comparing to the market rental rates for unrenovated units makes the comparison most relevant and the resulting premium provides management with an indicator of the increased rent generated by the unit renovation.

Renovation Costs per Unit

Renovation costs per unit includes all costs to renovate the interior units and make certain exterior renovations, including clubhouses and amenities. Interior costs per unit are based on units leased. Exterior costs per unit are based on total units at the community. Excludes overhead costs to support and manage the value add program as those costs relate to the entire program and cannot be allocated to individual projects.

28

Return on Investment (“ROI”) on Value Add Renovations

ROI is calculated using the Rent Premium per unit per month, multiplied by 12, divided by the interior renovation costs per unit or the total renovation costs, as applicable. We use ROI on value add renovation projects to measure the profitability of a renovation project relative to other projects or relative to other uses of our capital.

Total Gross Assets equals total assets plus accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization, including fully depreciated or amortized real estate and real estate related assets. The following table provides a reconciliation of total assets to total gross assets (dollars in thousands).
