Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

As of June 30, 2019

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

NOTE 1: Organization

 

Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (“IRT”), is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust, or REIT, which was formed on March 26, 2009.  Our primary purposes are to acquire, own, operate, improve and manage multifamily apartment communities in non-gateway markets. As of June 30, 2019, we owned and operated 58 multifamily apartment properties, totaling 15,734 units across non-gateway U.S markets, including Atlanta, Louisville, Memphis, and Raleigh. We own substantially all of our assets and conduct our operations through Independence Realty Operating Partnership, LP, which we refer to as IROP, of which we are the sole general partner.   

 

   As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and, as required by context, IROP, and their subsidiaries.

 

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position and consolidated results of operations and cash flows are included. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

b. Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements reflect our accounts and the accounts of IROP and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Pursuant to FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, “Consolidation”, IROP is considered a variable interest entity.  As our significant asset is our investment in IROP, substantially all of our assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities of IROP.

c. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

d. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less when purchased.  Cash, including amounts restricted, may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance limit of $250 per institution.  We mitigate credit risk by placing cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions.  To date, we have not experienced any losses on cash and cash equivalents.

e. Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes escrows of our funds held by lenders to fund certain expenditures, such as real estate taxes and insurance, or to be released at our discretion upon the occurrence of certain pre-specified events.  As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we had $7,780 and $6,729, respectively, of restricted cash.

f. Investments in Real Estate

Investments in real estate are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs that both add value and appreciably extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Investments in real estate are classified as held for sale in the period in which certain criteria are met including when management commits to a plan to sell, an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, the sale is probable, and actions required to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan of sale will be made or the plan of sale will be withdrawn.

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets

The properties we acquire are generally accounted for as asset acquisitions. Under asset acquisition accounting, the costs to acquire real estate, including transaction costs related to the acquisition, are accumulated and then allocated to the individual assets and liabilities acquired based upon their relative fair value.  Transaction costs and fees incurred related to the financing of an acquisition are capitalized and amortized over the life of the related financing.

We estimate the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building and improvements), identified intangible assets (consisting of in-place leases), and assumed debt at the date of acquisition, based on the evaluation of information and estimates available at that date.

The aggregate value of in-place leases is determined by evaluating various factors, including the terms of the leases that are in place and assumed lease-up periods. The value assigned to this intangible asset is amortized over the assumed lease up period, typically six months. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we acquired in-place leases with a value of $316 as part of related property acquisitions that are discussed further in Note 3. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $294 and $850, respectively, of amortization expense for intangible assets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded $1,044 and $2,336, respectively, of amortization expense for intangible assets. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we wrote-off intangible assets of $719 and $1,532, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we wrote-off intangible assets of $0 and $1,963, respectively. As of June 30, 2019, we expect to record additional amortization expense on current in-place intangible assets of $210 for the remainder of 2019.  

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of our investment in real estate assets, including related identifiable intangible assets, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”. This statement requires that long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that recoverability of the assets is not assured.

Management reviews its long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value when there is an indicator of impairment. An impairment charge is recorded when it is determined that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value. The estimated cash flows used for the impairment analysis and the determination of estimated fair value are based on our plans for the respective assets and our views of market and economic conditions. The estimates consider matters such as current and historical rental rates, occupancies for the respective and/or comparable properties, and recent sales data for comparable properties. Changes in estimated future cash flows due to changes in our plans or views of market and economic conditions could result in recognition of impairment losses, which, under the applicable accounting guidance, could be substantial.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense for real estate assets is computed using a straight-line method based on a life of 40 years for buildings and improvements and five to ten years for equipment and fixtures. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded $12,427 and $24,318 of depreciation expense, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded $10,539 and $20,471 of depreciation expense, respectively.

 

g. Revenue and Expenses

 

Rental and other property revenue

10


Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

As of June 30, 2019

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

 

 

We apply FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases” with respect to our accounting for rental income.  We primarily lease apartment units under operating leases generally with terms of one year or less. Rental payments are generally due monthly and rental revenues are recognized on an accrual basis when earned.  We have elected to account for lease (i.e. fixed payments including base rent) and non-lease components (i.e. tenant reimbursements and other certain service fees) as a single combined operating lease component since (1) the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and non-lease components is the same, (2) the lease component is the predominant element, and (3) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease.  As a result of this treatment, certain amounts classified within prior revenue captions tenant reimbursement income and other property income have been combined into rental and other property revenue in the consolidated statements of operations and prior period amounts have been adjusted to conform to current period presentation.

 

Effective January 1, 2019, we make ongoing estimates of the collectability of our base rents, tenant reimbursements, and other service fees included within rental and other property revenue.  If collectability is not probable, we adjust rental and other property income for the amount of uncollectible revenue.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we adjusted rental and other property income by $236 and $535, respectively, for uncollectible rental revenue.  Prior to January 1, 2019, we maintained an allowance for doubtful accounts based on an ongoing analysis of collectability and recorded changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts as bad debt expense within property operating expenses.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded bad debt expense (recoveries) of $(115) and $49, respectively, within property operating expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized revenues of $17 and $23, respectively, related to recoveries of lost rental revenue due to natural disasters and other insurable events from our insurance providers. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized revenues of $64 and $106, respectively, related to recoveries of lost rental revenue due to natural disasters and other insurable events from our insurance providers.

Advertising Expenses

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 720, “Other Expenses”, we expense the costs of advertising as incurred. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we incurred $603 and $1,151 of advertising expenses, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we incurred $564 and $1,097 of advertising expenses, respectively.

h. Derivative Instruments

We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. While these instruments may impact our periodic cash flows, they benefit us by minimizing the risks and/or costs previously described.  The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions with which we and our affiliates may also have other financial relationships. In the event of nonperformance by the counterparties, we are potentially exposed to credit loss. However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, we do not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, we measure each derivative instrument (including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts) at fair value and record such amounts in our consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability.  For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income and changes in the fair value of the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges, if any, are recognized in earnings.  For derivatives not designated as hedges (or designated as fair value hedges), the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in earnings.  Any derivatives that we designate in hedge relationships are done so at inception.  At inception, we determine whether or not the derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in the designated interest rate risk associated with the identified indebtedness using regression analysis.  At each reporting period, we update our regression analysis and use the hypothetical derivative method to measure any ineffectiveness.

i. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity for disclosure purposes. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

 

Level 1: Valuations are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The types of assets carried at Level 1 fair value generally are equity securities listed in active markets. As such, valuations of these investments do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

 

Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

 

Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The availability of observable inputs can vary depending on the financial asset or liability and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of investment, whether the investment is new, whether the investment is traded on an active exchange or in the secondary market, and the current market condition. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised by us in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

Fair value is a market-based measure considered from the perspective of a market participant who holds the asset or owes the liability rather than an entity-specific measure. Therefore, even when market assumptions are not readily available, our own assumptions are set to reflect those that management believes market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability at the measurement date. We use prices and inputs that management believes are current as of the measurement date, including during periods of market dislocation. In periods of market dislocation, the observability of prices and inputs may be reduced for many instruments. This condition could cause an instrument to be transferred from Level 1 to Level 2 or Level 2 to Level 3.

Fair value for certain of our Level 3 financial instruments is derived using internal valuation models. These internal valuation models include discounted cash flow analyses developed by management using current interest rates, estimates of the term of the particular instrument, specific issuer information and other market data for securities without an active market. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, the impact of our own credit spreads is also considered when measuring the fair value of financial assets or liabilities, including derivative contracts. Where appropriate, valuation adjustments are made to account for various factors, including bid-ask spreads, credit quality and market liquidity. These adjustments are applied on a consistent basis and are based on observable inputs where available. Management’s estimate of fair value requires significant management judgment and is subject to a high degree of variability based upon market conditions, the availability of specific issuer information and management’s assumptions.

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Given that cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are short term in nature with limited fair value volatility, the carrying amount is deemed to be a reasonable approximation of fair value and the fair value input is classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement. The fair value input for the derivatives is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value inputs for our unsecured credit facility and term loans are classified as Level 2 fair value measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of mortgage indebtedness is based on a discounted cash flows valuation

technique. As this technique utilizes current credit spreads, which are generally unobservable, this is classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy.  We determine appropriate credit spreads based on the type of debt and its maturity. There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

j. Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in connection with debt financing are deferred and classified within indebtedness and charged to interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreements, under the effective interest method.

k. Office Leases

We apply FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases”, which requires a lessee to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet at the lease commencement date for all leases, except those leases with terms of less than a year.  We lease corporate office space under leases with terms of up to 10 years and that may include extension options, but that do not include any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. As of June 30, 2019, we have $3,113 of operating lease right-of-use assets and $3,206 of operating lease liabilities related to our corporate office leases. The operating lease right-of-use assets are presented within other assets and the operating lease liabilities are presented within other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. We recorded $167 and $279, respectively, of total operating lease expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, which is recorded within property management expense and general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.    

l. Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT beginning with the taxable year ended December 31, 2011.  Accordingly, we recorded no income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to stockholders.  As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders.  If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions.  Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders; however, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify and maintain treatment as a REIT and intend to operate in such a manner so that we will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

m. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Below is a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements that could have a material effect on our financial statements.  

Adopted Within these Financial Statements

In August 2017, the FASB issued an accounting standard update under FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging.” The amendments in this update provide guidance about the application of the hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP based on the feedback received from preparers, auditors, and other stakeholders. As a result, the accounting for derivatives and hedging transactions could be impacted. The updated standard is effective for us on January 1, 2019 with early adoption permitted. We early adopted this update on October 1, 2017. The adoption of this update did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In accordance with this accounting standard update, upon adoption, we revised our approach to recognizing interest expense for our interest rate swap that was designated as an off-market cash flow hedge. Rather than record interest expense based on the hypothetical derivative method with differences from actual net settlements reflected as ineffectiveness, we will record actual net settlements to interest expense adjusted for the straight-line amortization of the inception clean value of the hedging instrument over the hedge term. The result will be that no ineffectiveness will be recorded in future periods related to our off-market interest rate swap. Since we entered into the off-market hedging relationship in 2017, no transition entry was necessary upon adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases”.  For lessees, this accounting standard amends lease accounting by requiring (1) the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities for those leases classified as operating leases on the balance sheet and (2) additional disclosure about leasing arrangements. For lessors, the guidance under the new lease standard is substantially similar to legacy lease accounting standards.  This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.  In July 2018, the FASB issued an amendment to the new standard, which provides a package of practical expedients that (1) allows lessors to not separate lease and non-lease components in a contract and allocate the consideration in the contract to the separate components if both (i) the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for the non-lease component and the related lease component are the same and (ii) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease and (2) provides a transition option that permits entities to not recast the comparative periods presented when transitioning to the standard. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective approach and the package of practical expedients. We did not record a cumulative-effect adjustment on the effective date and all prior comparative periods are presented in accordance with legacy lease accounting standards.  Our apartment leases, where we are lessor, continued to be accounted for as operating leases under the new standard and, therefore, there were not significant changes in accounting for these leases.  For our various corporate office leases, where we are lessee, we recorded a $308 right of use asset and a lease liability on our consolidated balance sheets upon adoption.

In June 2018, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 718, “Compensation – Stock Compensation.” The amendments in this update expand the scope of Topic 718 to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. As a result, the accounting for share-based payment award transactions could be impacted. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments in this standard is permitted. We adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019. As we have not issued share-based payments to non-employees since prior to our management internalization, the adoption of this standard has not had an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

The unsecured credit facility total capacity was $300,000, of which $155,743 was outstanding as of December 31, 2018.

 

Unsecured Credit Facility

 

On May 9, 2019, we closed on a new $350,000 unsecured credit facility that consists entirely of a revolving line of credit (the “Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit”), refinancing and terminating the previous unsecured credit facility. We have the right to increase the aggregate amount of the Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit to up to $600,000.  The maturity date on borrowings outstanding under the Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit is May 9, 2023, subject to our option to extend the revolving commitment for two additional 6-month periods under certain circumstances, including the payment of an extension fee.  We may prepay the Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit, in whole or in part, at any time without a prepayment fee or penalty.  At our option, borrowings under the Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit will bear interest at a rate equal to either (i) the 1-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 125 to 200 basis points, or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 25 to 100 basis points. The applicable margin is determined based upon our total consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the agreements. At the time of closing, based on our leverage ratio, the margin spread to LIBOR was 155 basis points. We recognized the refinance as a modification of our prior unsecured credit facility and incurred deferred financing costs of $1,129 associated with this transaction.

 

Mortgages

 

On April 30, 2019, we extinguished a property mortgage in the amount of $18,850 in connection with the property disposition.

NOTE 5: Derivative Financial Instruments

We have and may in the future use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions.  While these instruments may impact our periodic cash flows, they benefit us by minimizing the risks and/or costs previously described.  The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions with which we and our affiliates may also have other financial relationships. In the event of nonperformance by the counterparties, we are potentially exposed to credit loss. However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, we do not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

The following table summarizes the aggregate notional amount and estimated net fair value of our derivative instruments as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Forward interest rate swap

On May 9, 2019, we entered into a forward-starting interest rate swap contract with a notional value of $150,000 and a strike of 2.176%. The forward interest rate swap has an effective date of June 17, 2021 and a maturity date of June 17, 2026. We designated this forward interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge at inception and determined that the hedge is highly effective in offsetting interest rate fluctuations associated with the identified indebtedness.

Effective interest rate swaps and caps are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, and the fair value of these hedge agreements is included in other assets or other liabilities.

For our interest rate swap and collars that are considered highly effective hedges, we reclassified realized gains of $467 and $1,026 to earnings within interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and we expect $86 to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings over the next 12 months.

 

NOTE 6: Stockholder Equity and Noncontrolling Interests

Stockholder Equity

On March 18, 2019, our board of directors declared a distribution of $0.18 per share, which was paid on April 25, 2019 to common shareholders of record as of March 29, 2019.

On June 17, 2019, our board of directors declared a distribution of $0.18 per share, which was paid on July 25, 2019 to common shareholders of record as of June 28, 2019.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we also paid $0 and $209, respectively, of dividends on restricted common share awards that vested during the period.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we issued an aggregate of 65,704 shares under the ATM Sales Agreement at a weighted average price of $12.09, resulting in $778 of net proceeds, after deducting $16 of commissions. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we issued an aggregate of 575,704 shares under the ATM Sales Agreement at a weighted average price of $10.80, resulting in $6,079 of net proceeds, after deducting $124 of commissions. Pursuant to the ATM Sales Agreement $109,038 remained available for issuance as of June 30, 2019.

Noncontrolling Interest

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, holders of IROP units did not exchange any units for shares of our common stock or cash.

As of June 30, 2019, 881,107 IROP units held by unaffiliated third parties remain outstanding.

On March 18, 2019, our board of directors declared a distribution of $0.18 per unit, which was paid on April 25, 2019 to IROP LP unitholders of record as of March 29, 2019.

On June 17, 2019, our board of directors declared a distribution of $0.18 per unit, which was paid on July 25, 2019 to IROP LP unitholders of record as of June 28, 2019.

 

NOTE 7: Equity Compensation Plans

In May 2016, our shareholders approved and our board of directors adopted an amended and restated Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), which provides for grants of awards to our employees, officers, directors, trustees, consultants or advisors (and those of our affiliates). The Incentive Plan authorizes the grant of restricted or unrestricted shares of our common stock, performance-based restricted share units (“PSUs”), non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), dividend equivalents and other stock- or cash-based awards. In conjunction with the amendment, the number of shares of common stock issuable under the Incentive Plan was increased to 4,300,000 shares and the term of the incentive plan was extended to May 12, 2026.  

Under the Incentive Plan or predecessor incentive plans, we have granted restricted shares, and PSUs, to our employees and employees of our former advisor.  These awards generally vested over a three or four year period.  In addition, we have granted unrestricted shares to our non-employee directors.  These awards generally vested immediately.  

On February 6, 2019, our compensation committee awarded, to our non-executive officer employees, 92,925 restricted stock awards, valued at $10.35 per share, or $962 in the aggregate.  These restricted stock awards vest over a three-year period. On March 7, 2019, our compensation committee awarded, to our named executive officers, 87,975 restricted stock awards and 263,929 PSUs. The restricted stock awards vest over a four-year period and were valued at $10.23 per share, or $900 in the aggregate. The number of PSUs earned will be based on attainment of certain performance criteria over a three-year period, the actual number of shares issuable ranging between 0% and 150% of the number of PSUs granted. The aggregate grant date fair value of the PSUs was $2,203.

On May 23, 2019, our compensation committee granted stock under the Incentive Plan such that our non-employee directors received an aggregate of 32,844 shares of our common stock, valued at $360 using out closing stock price of $10.96. These awards vested immediately.

NOTE 9: Other Disclosures

Litigation

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business operations. Matters which arise out of allegations of bodily injury, property damage, and employment practices are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Loss Contingencies

We record an accrual for loss contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Management reviews these accruals quarterly and makes revisions based on changes in facts and circumstances. When a loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, management does not accrue the loss. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of an earlier accrual) is at least a reasonable possibility and material, then management discloses a reasonable estimate of the possible loss, or range of loss, if such reasonable estimate can be made. If we cannot make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss, or range of loss, then a statement to that effect is disclosed.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report contains or incorporates by reference such “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify forward-looking statements.

We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may be made directly in this report and they may also be incorporated by reference in this report to other documents filed with the SEC, and include, without limitation, statements about future financial and operating results and performance, statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations, products and services, and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results discussed in these forward-looking statements.

The risk factors discussed and identified in Item 1A of our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and in other of our public filings with the SEC, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, we undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this filing or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Our Business Objective and Investment Strategies

 

Our primary business objective is to maximize stockholder value through diligent portfolio management, strong operational performance, and a consistent return of capital through distributions and capital appreciation.  Our investment strategy is focused on the following:

 

 

gaining scale within key amenity rich submarkets of non-gateway cities that offer good school districts, high-quality retail and major employment centers and are unlikely to experience substantial new apartment construction in the foreseeable future;

 

 

increasing cash flows at our existing apartment properties through prudent property management and strategic renovation projects; and

 

 

acquiring additional properties that have strong and stable occupancies and support a rise in rental rates or that have the potential for repositioning through capital expenditures or tailored management strategies.

 

Property Portfolio 

As of June 30, 2019, we owned 58 multifamily apartment properties, totaling 15,734 units.  Below is a summary of our property portfolio by market.

(a)

Market includes two properties which have been classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2019.

 

As of June 30, 2019, our same-store portfolio consisted of 50 multifamily apartment properties, totaling 13,697 units.  See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures – Same Store Portfolio Net Operating Income” below for our methodology for determining our same store portfolio and definitions and reconciliations related to our net operating income and net operating income margin.

Capital Recycling

Our capital recycling program consists of disposing of assets in markets where we lack scale and/or markets where management believes that long term growth outlook is not as attractive relative to other markets.

In April 2019, we sold a 370-unit property located in Chicago, IL for $42.0 million. We recorded a gain of $12.1 million for this property, which is net of $2.0 million of debt extinguishment costs. On July 18, 2019, we sold two properties in Little Rock, AR for $56.5 million. These properties were all previously held for sale.

In April 2019, we purchased a 224-unit property located in Atlanta, GA for $28.0 million.

In July 2019, we purchased a 264-unit property located in Tampa, FL for $48.0 million.

 

Value Add

Value add initiatives, comprised of renovations and upgrades at selected communities to drive increased rental rates, remain a core component of our growth strategy for 2019 and beyond. As of June 30, 2019, we had identified 3,929 units across 12 properties for renovations and upgrades as part of our Phase I and II value add initiative. As of June 30, 2019, we had completed renovations and upgrades at 1,950 of the 3,929 units and expect to complete renovations and upgrades at the remaining Phase I and II units through the remainder of 2019 and first half of 2020.

In July 2019, we identified eight additional properties, totaling 2,402 units to represent Phase III of our value add initiative.  

 

New Unsecured Credit Facility

On May 9, 2019, we closed on a new $350.0 million unsecured credit facility that consists entirely of a revolving line of credit (the “Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit”), refinancing and terminating the previous unsecured credit facility and term loan agreement. We have the right to increase the aggregate amount of the unsecured revolving line of credit to up to $600.0 million.  The maturity date on borrowings outstanding under the Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit is May 9, 2023, subject to our option to extend the revolving commitment for two additional 6-month periods under certain circumstances, including the payment of an extension fee.  We may prepay the Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit, in whole or in part, at any time without a prepayment fee or penalty.  At our option, borrowings under the Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit will bear interest at a rate equal to either (i) the 1-month LIBOR rate plus a margin of 125 to 200 basis points, or (ii) a base rate plus a margin of 25 to 100 basis points. The applicable margin is determined based upon our total consolidated leverage ratio. At the time of closing and at June 30, 2019, based on our leverage ratio, the margin spread to LIBOR was 155 basis points.

Revenue

Rental and other property revenue. Rental and other property revenue increased $4.1 million to $50.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $46.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to a $2.3 million increase in same store rental and other property revenue driven by a 5.3% increase in average effective monthly rents and a 10 basis points increase in average occupancy compared to the prior year period and a $1.8 million increase in non same store rental and other property revenue. The non same store rental and other property revenue increase was due to the number of properties included in each period being different as a result of the timing of property sales and acquisitions.

Other revenue. Other revenue decreased $0.1 million to $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Expenses

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses increased $1.4 million to $20.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $18.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to a $0.5 million increase in same store property operating expenses primarily driven by higher property taxes and a $0.9 million increase in non same store property operating expenses. The non same store property operating expense increase was due to the number of properties included in each period being different as a result of the timing of property sales and acquisitions.

Property management expenses. Property management expenses increased $0.5 million to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation expenses for our property management function as we have increased both the number of personnel and the use of technology to drive future operating efficiencies.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million to $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation expense as the size of our corporate office has grown to support asset management functions including the oversight of our value add initiative and general portfolio optimization.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $1.1 million to $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $11.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily

23


 

attributable to a $1.4 million increase in depreciation expense driven by capital expenditures related to our value add program for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $1.2 million to $9.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 from $8.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018. This is primarily due to a $131.8 million increase in the balance of our unsecured credit facility and term loans from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019, which related to our investments in additional property acquisitions and value add related capital expenditures.

Revenue

Rental and other property revenue. Rental and other property revenue increased $7.9 million to $100.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $92.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to a $3.9 million increase in same store rental and other property revenue driven by a 4.8% increase in average effective monthly rents compared to the prior year period partially offset by a 50 basis points decrease in average occupancy compared to the prior year and a $4.0 million increase in non same store rental and other property revenue. The non same store rental and other property revenue increase was due to the number of properties included in each period being different as a result of the timing of property sales and acquisitions.

Other revenue. Other revenue decreased $0.1 million to $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Expenses

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses increased $2.9 million to $40.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $37.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in same store property operating expenses primarily driven by higher property taxes and a $2.0 million increase in our non same store property operating expenses. The non same store property operating expenses increase was due to the number of properties included in each period being different as a result of the timing of property sales and acquisitions.

Property management expenses: Property management expenses increased $0.6 million to $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This was primarily due to an increase in compensation expense, software costs, and travel costs for our property management function as we have increased both the number of personnel and the use of technology to drive future operating efficiencies.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $1.0 million to $6.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $5.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to an increase in compensation expense as the size of our corporate office has grown to support asset management functions including the oversight of our value add initiative and general portfolio optimization.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $2.4 million to $25.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $22.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to a $2.6 million increase in depreciation expense driven by capital expenditures related to our value add program for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $2.7 million to $19.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 from $16.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. This is primarily due to a $131.8 million increase in the balance of our unsecured credit facility and term loans from June 30, 2018 to June 30, 2019, which related to our investments in additional property acquisitions and value add related capital expenditures.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

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 appropriate supplemental measures of the operating performance of a REIT and IRT in particular.

We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses on sales of real estate and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles. We calculate CFFO as FFO, adjusted for stock compensation expense, depreciation and amortization of items that are not added back in the computation of FFO, amortization of deferred financing costs, and other non-cash or non-operating gains or losses related to items such as defeasance costs that we incur when we sell a property subject to secured debt, asset sales, debt extinguishments, and acquisition-related debt extinguishment expenses.

Our calculations of FFO and CFFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO, CFFO and similar supplemental measures utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to FFO, CFFO or similar measures as calculated by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO and CFFO as measures of our operating performance, and we believe they are also useful to investors because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash or non-operating items that are required by GAAP to be expensed and facilitate comparison of our current operating performance to prior reporting periods. Furthermore, although FFO, CFFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we believe that FFO and CFFO provide investors with additional useful measures to compare our financial performance to the performance of 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. Neither FFO nor CFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and CFFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands, except share and per share information):

Same Store Portfolio Net Operating Income

We believe that Net Operating Income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is an additional useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding interest expenses, depreciation and amortization, acquisition expenses, property management expenses, and general and administrative expenses. 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 operating income and net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. 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, financing 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 supplemental measure of our financial performance.

We review our same store properties or portfolio at the beginning of each calendar year.  Properties are added into the same store portfolio if they were owned at the beginning of the previous year.  Properties that have been sold or are classified as held for sale are excluded from the same store portfolio.

Set forth below is a reconciliation of same store net operating income to net income (loss) available to common shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands, except per unit data):

Same store portfolio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 included 50 properties containing 13,697 units.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain investments, pay distributions and other general business needs.  We believe our available cash balances, financing arrangements and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements with respect to our existing portfolio for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.

Our primary cash requirements are to:

 

make investments and fund the associated costs, including expenditures, to continue our value add initiatives to improve the quality and performance of our properties;

 

repay our indebtedness;

 

fund recurring maintenance necessary to maintain our properties;

 

pay our operating expenses; and

 

distribute a minimum of 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain) and to make investments in a manner that enables us to maintain our qualification as a REIT.

28


 

We intend to meet our liquidity requirements primarily through a combination of one or more of the following:

 

the use of our cash and cash equivalent of $11.1 million as of June 30, 2019;

 

existing and future unsecured financing, including advances under our unsecured credit facility, and financing secured directly or indirectly by the apartment properties in our portfolio;

 

cash generated from operating activities;

 

net cash proceeds from property sales, including sales undertaken as part of our capital recycling strategy and other sales; and

 

proceeds from the sales of our common stock and other equity securities, including common stock that may be sold under our at-the-market program.

Cash Flows

As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, we maintained cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash of approximately $18.8 million and $17.9 million, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents were generated from the following activities (dollars in thousands):

The increase in our cash flow from operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily driven by higher net operating income from our property portfolio.

Our cash outflow from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to one property acquisition and capital expenditures partially offset by one property disposition. Our cash outflow from investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to four property acquisitions and capital expenditures.

Our cash outflow from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to repayments of our unsecured credit facility, dividends on our common stock, and distributions on noncontrolling interests, partially offset by draws on our unsecured credit facility. Our cash inflow from financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily due to draws on our current and previous credit facilities related to the acquisitions of four properties, partially offset by dividends on our common stock and distributions on noncontrolling interests.  

As a REIT, we evaluate our dividend coverage based on our cash flow from operating activities, excluding changes in other assets and liabilities.  During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we paid distributions to our common stockholders and noncontrolling interests of $32.6 million and generated cash flow from operating activities excluding changes in other assets and liabilities of $33.1 million.

Contractual Commitments

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed on February 22, 2019 includes a table of contractual commitments as of December 31, 2018. There were no material changes to these commitments since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K. See the updated debt maturity schedule included in Note 4 in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements during the six months ended June 30, 2019 that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our interests.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

Our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies. Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted several new accounting pronouncements and revised our accounting policies as described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this report. Management discusses our critical accounting policies and management’s judgments and estimates with the audit committee of our board of directors.

 

Item 3.

Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

Our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a discussion of qualitative and quantitative market risks. There have been no material changes in quantitative and qualitative market risks during the six months ended June 30, 2019 from the disclosures included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.  

Effective as of June 30, 2019, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures.  Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation referred to above during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

 

 

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business operations. Matters which arise out of allegations of bodily injury, property damage, and employment practices are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

 

Item 1A.

Risk Factors.

There have not been any material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in Item 1A—“Risk Factors” in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
