“American Homes 4 Rent had a strong second quarter with continued operational excellence driving a 7% year-over-year increase in Core FFO per share,” stated David Singelyn, American Homes 4 Rent’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our best-in-class platform and team once again demonstrated their ability to capture the strength of the spring leasing season, driving a 4.4% year-over-year growth in second quarter Same-Home core revenues. Further, we continue to enhance the quality of our portfolio as we strategically recycle capital from asset sales into the expansion of our industry leading built-for-rental program, which we believe has the long-term potential to revolutionize the single-family rental sector. With our flexible and conservative balance sheet that supports our growth strategy, we are confident in our ability to continue delivering consistent operating results and long term value creation for our shareholders.”

Second Quarter 2019 Financial Results

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the new lease accounting standard, ASU No. 2016-02, which prospectively results in a larger portion of internal leasing costs being expensed that were previously capitalized. For purposes of comparability, applicable prior period non-GAAP financial metrics have been conformed to reflect the new lease accounting standard. Refer to Non-GAAP Financial Measures for further information.

Net income attributable to common shareholders totaled $22.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2019, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $15.2 million, or a $0.05 loss per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2018. This improvement was primarily attributable to higher revenues resulting from a larger number of occupied properties and higher rental rates, an increase in gain on sale of single-family properties and other, net and a noncash charge related

to the redemption of the Series C participating preferred shares through a conversion into Class A common shares during the second quarter of 2018.

Total revenues increased 6.6% to $281.9 million for the second quarter of 2019 from $264.5 million for the second quarter of 2018. Revenue growth was primarily driven by continued strong leasing activity, as our average occupied portfolio grew to 48,989 homes for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, compared to 47,427 homes for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, as well as higher rental rates.

Core NOI on our total portfolio increased 6.9% to $154.0 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $144.1 million for the second quarter of 2018. This increase was primarily due to growth in rental income resulting from a larger number of occupied properties and higher rental rates, partially offset by higher property tax expense.

Core revenues from Same-Home properties increased 4.4% to $190.1 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $182.1 million for the second quarter of 2018. This growth was primarily driven by a 3.7% increase in Average Monthly Realized Rent per property and an increase in Average Occupied Days Percentage to 95.7% from 95.3%. Core property operating expenses from Same-Home properties increased 5.8% from $65.7 million for the second quarter of 2018 to $69.5 million for the second quarter of 2019, with the largest driver being attributable to an outsized increase in property tax expense. As a result, Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 3.6% to $120.6 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $116.4 million for the second quarter of 2018. After capital expenditures, Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 2.6% to $112.2 million for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $109.4 million for the second quarter of 2018. For the second quarter of 2019, capital expenditures reflected above average increases from the planned expansion of our strategic preventative maintenance program and storm damages in certain markets related to windstorms and unusually high rainfall towards the end of the quarter.

Core Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders (“Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders”) was $98.2 million, or $0.28 per FFO share and unit, for the second quarter of 2019, compared to $91.9 million, or $0.26 per FFO share and unit, for the second quarter of 2018. Adjusted Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders (“Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders”) for the second quarter of 2019 was $86.8 million, or $0.25 per FFO share and unit, compared to $82.0 million, or $0.23 per FFO share and unit, for the second quarter of 2018. This improvement was primarily attributable to increases in rental revenue driven by a larger number of occupied properties and higher rental rates, partially offset by higher property tax expense.

Year-to-Date 2019 Financial Results

Net income attributable to common shareholders was $38.8 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $9.3 million, or a $0.03 loss per diluted share, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. This improvement was primarily attributable to higher revenues resulting from a larger number of occupied properties and higher rental rates, an increase in gain on sale of single-family properties and other, net, and a noncash charge related to the redemption of the Series C participating preferred shares through a conversion into Class A common shares during the second quarter of 2018.

Total revenues increased 7.4% to $561.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, from $522.5 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. Revenue growth was primarily driven by continued strong leasing activity, as our average occupied portfolio grew to 48,600 homes as of June 30, 2019, compared to 47,156 homes as of June 30, 2018.

Core NOI on our total portfolio increased 9.0% to $304.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, compared to $279.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. This increase was primarily due to growth in rental income resulting from a larger number of occupied properties and higher rental rates, partially offset by higher property tax expense, higher HOA fees, net and higher property management expenses, net.

Core revenues from Same-Home properties increased 4.3% to $377.2 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, compared to $361.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. This growth was primarily driven by a 3.5% increase in Average Monthly Realized Rent per property and an increase in Average Occupied Days Percentage to 95.6% from 95.1%. Core property operating expenses from Same-Home properties increased 4.0% from $130.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018 to $135.9 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, which was primarily attributable to higher property tax expense and higher HOA fees, net. As a result, Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 4.5% to $241.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, compared to $231.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. After capital expenditures, Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 3.9% to $226.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, compared to $218.1 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, capital expenditures reflected above average increases from the planned expansion of our strategic preventative maintenance program.

Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders was $194.0 million, or $0.55 per FFO share and unit, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019, compared to $175.1 million, or $0.50 per FFO share and unit, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders for the six-month period ended June 30, 2019 was $173.6 million, or $0.49 per FFO share and unit, compared to $156.8 million, or $0.45 per FFO share and unit, for the six-month period ended June 30, 2018. This improvement was primarily attributable to increases in rental revenue driven by a larger number of occupied properties and higher rental rates, partially offset by higher property tax expense, higher HOA fees, net and higher property management expenses, net.

Note: The Company does not provide guidance for the most comparable GAAP financial measures of net income or loss, total revenues and property operating expenses, or a reconciliation of the above-listed forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures because we are unable to reasonably predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures, including non-recurring and infrequent items that are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations. Such items include, but are not limited to, net gain or loss on sales and impairment of single-family properties, casualty loss, Non-Same-Home revenues and Non-Same-Home property operating expenses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on our GAAP results for the guidance period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the Second Quarter 2019 Earnings Release and Supplemental Information Package include Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders (“FFO attributable to common share and unit holders”), Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, Core NOI, Same-Home Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI After Capital Expenditures, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures are helpful in understanding our financial performance and are widely used in the REIT industry. Because other REITs may not compute these financial measures in the same manner, they may not be comparable among REITs. In addition, these metrics are not substitutes for net income or loss or net cash flows from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, as measures of our operating performance, liquidity or ability to pay dividends. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the

most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release and in the Second Quarter 2019 Earnings Release and Supplemental Information Package.

(1)	Adjustment amount reflects the portion of leasing costs that were previously capitalized and treated as a reduction to Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders that would be expensed under the new lease accounting standard ASU 2016-02, adopted by the Company on January 1, 2019.


(2)	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.


(3)	Reflects the effect of potentially dilutive securities issuable upon the assumed vesting / exercise of restricted stock units and stock options.

FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate in accordance with the definition approved by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), 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 fees and costs expensed incurred with business combinations and the acquisition of properties, (2) noncash share-based compensation expense, (3) noncash interest expense related to acquired debt, (4) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to the impacted single-family properties, (5) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (6) noncash fair value adjustments associated with remeasuring our participating preferred shares derivative liability to fair value, and (7) the allocation of income to our participating 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, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders are not a substitute 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 total revenues, excluding expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs and other revenues, 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. Our Same-Home portfolio consists of our single-family properties that have been stabilized longer than 90 days prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented, and that have not been classified as held for sale, identified for future sale or taken out of service as a result of a casualty loss.

Core NOI also excludes (1) noncash fair value adjustments associated with remeasuring our participating preferred shares derivative liability to fair value, (2) noncash gain or loss on conversion of shares or units, (3) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (4) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to the impacted single-family properties, (5) gain or loss on sales of single-family properties and other, (6) depreciation and amortization, (7) acquisition fees and costs expensed incurred with business combinations and the acquisition of properties, (8) noncash share-based compensation expense, (9) interest expense, (10) general and administrative expense, (11) other expenses and (12) other revenues. We believe Core NOI provides useful information to investors about the operating performance of our single-family properties without the impact of certain operating expenses that are reimbursed through tenant charge-backs. We further adjust Core NOI for our Same-Home portfolio by subtracting recurring capital expenditures to calculate Same-Home Core NOI After Capital Expenditures, which we believe provides useful information to investors because it more fully reflects our operating performance after the impact of all property-level expenditures, regardless of whether they are capitalized or expensed.

Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI After Capital Expenditures should be considered only as supplements to net income or loss as a measure of our performance and should not be used as measures of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to

fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. Additionally, these metrics should not be used as substitutes for net income or loss or net cash flows from operating activities (as computed in accordance with GAAP).
