Independence Realty Trust Announces First Quarter 2021 Financial Results

Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (“IRT”) (NYSE: IRT), a multifamily apartment REIT, today announced its first quarter 2021 financial results.

First Quarter Highlights

  • Net income available to common shares of $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to a net loss of $0.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
  • Earnings per diluted share of $0.01 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to $0.00 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
  • Same store net operating income (“NOI”) growth of 5.3% for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
  • Core Funds from Operations (“CFFO”) of $18.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to $14.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020. CFFO per share was $0.18 for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to $0.16 for the first quarter of 2020. To note, this reflects the adoption of our new definition of CFFO, where we no longer exclude stock compensation expense or amortization of deferred financing costs from our computation.
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $26.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 compared to $24.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2020.
  • Collected 98.4% of rents billed during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 and 99.2% of rents billed during the quarter ended December 31, 2020.

Included later in this press release are definitions of NOI, CFFO, Adjusted EBITDA and other Non-GAAP financial measures and reconciliations of such measures to their most comparable financial measures as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.

Management Commentary

“We are pleased to report a strong start to the year as vaccine distribution is supporting accelerated re-openings across all of our markets. For the first quarter of 2021, same store NOI increased by 5.3%, led by our continual focus on driving occupancy and rental rates. Our same store occupancy increased 40 basis points since the fourth quarter of 2020, and a sizeable 260 basis points on a year-over-year basis. Rental rates continued to move higher, growing 5.9% over the expiring leases during the first quarter and 4.6% during the second quarter to date. We are excited with the start of this year and remain confident in our growth strategy. As a result, we are raising our 2021 guidance given an improving outlook and the growth potential of our attractive market presence,” said Scott Schaeffer, Chairman and CEO of IRT.

Deferred payment plans allow residents to defer a portion of their monthly rent for one or more months or to repay over time past-due rent which was unpaid due to a COVID-related financial hardship. Residents must provide evidence of hardship and commit to a full 12-month lease term, which allows deferred payments to be repaid over a longer remaining lease term. As of March 31, 2021, there were 104 active deferred payment plans with an aggregate of $44,896 of deferred rent outstanding.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, our bad debt continues to exceed historical levels. During the first quarter, our net bad debt was $433,000 or 80 basis points of revenue. The table below presents additional details on the components of bad debt:

Value Add Program

We completed renovations on 142 units during the quarter ended March 31, 2021. From inception of our value add program in January 2018 through March 31, 2021, we completed renovations on 3,861 units, achieving a return on investment of 16.1% (18.5% on interior renovation costs) and an average monthly rental increase of 18.5%.

At-the-Market Offering

On November 13, 2020 we entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which we may from time to time offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150 million (the “ATM Program”) in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings. Under the ATM Program, we may also enter into one or more forward sale transactions for the sale of shares of our common stock on a forward basis. In the three months ended March 31, 2021, we entered into a forward sale transaction under the ATM Program for the forward sale of 2,000,000 shares of our common stock. We expect to physically settle the forward sale transaction by the maturity date (December 15, 2021) of the forward sale transaction. Assuming the forward sale transaction is physically settled in full utilizing the current forward sale price of $14.50 per share, net of sales commissions, we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $29.0 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the forward sale transaction.

Financial Flexibility

As of March 31, 2021, we had a total liquidity position of approximately $205.6 million, which includes unrestricted cash, additional capacity under our unsecured line of credit, and approximately $41.2 million of proceeds that we will receive upon settlement of forward sale agreements covering 2,900,000 shares of common stock.

Capital Expenditures

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $1.1 million, or $73 per unit.

Distributions

On March 15, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share of our common stock, which was paid on April 23, 2021 to stockholders of record at the close of business on April 2, 2021.

2021 EPS and CFFO Guidance

Given portfolio performance during the quarter ended March 31, 2021, IRT is updating its 2021 full year guidance. EPS per diluted share is projected to be in a range of $0.5 to $0.8. CFFO per diluted share, a non-GAAP financial measure, is projected to be in the range of $0.72 to $0.75 using our new definition of CFFO. Our previous guidance has been adjusted to conform to the current CFFO definition, which now includes the effect of stock compensation expense and amortization of deferred financing costs. A reconciliation of IRT's projected net income allocable to common shares to its projected CFFO per share is included below. Also included below are the primary assumptions underlying these estimates. See the schedules and definitions at the end of this release for further information regarding how IRT calculates CFFO and for management’s rationale for the usefulness of CFFO.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we updated our definition of CFFO to include the effects of stock compensation expense and the amortization of deferred financing costs. As a result, we have updated our previous 2021 outlook to conform to the new definition. We previously highlighted the impact that this definition change would have on these line items. Please refer to footnotes 2 and 3 on page 10 of our Q4 and Full Year 2020 Supplemental dated February 10, 2021. In addition, please see the updated definition of CFFO within the definitions section of this release.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release contains certain 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. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “will,” “strategy,” “expects,” “seeks,” “believes,” “potential,” or other similar words. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, our expectations with respect to capital allocations, including as to the timing and amount of future dividends. Because such statements include risks, uncertainties and contingencies, actual results may differ materially from the expectations, intentions, beliefs, plans or predictions of the future expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. 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 not within 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. Risks and uncertainties that might cause our actual results and/or future dividends to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: risks related to the impact of COVID-19 and other potential future outbreaks of infectious diseases on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance and those of our residents as well as on the economy and real estate and financial markets; changes in market demand for rental apartment homes and pricing pressures, including from competitors, that could limit our ability to lease units or increase rents or that could lead to declines in occupancy and rent levels; uncertainty and volatility in capital and credit markets, including changes that reduce availability, and increase costs, of capital; inability of tenants to meet their rent and other lease obligations and charge-offs in excess of our allowance for bad debt; legislative restrictions that may delay or limit collections of past due rents; risks endemic to real estate and the real estate industry generally; the effects of natural and other disasters; delays in completing, and cost overruns incurred in connection with, our value add initiatives and failure to achieve projected rent increases and occupancy levels on account of the initiatives; unexpected costs of REIT qualification compliance; costs and disruptions as the result of a cybersecurity incident or other technology disruption; and share price fluctuations. Please refer to the documents filed by us with the SEC, including specifically the “Risk Factors” sections of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, and our other filings with the SEC, which identify additional factors that could cause actual results to differ from those contained in forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required by law. In addition, the declaration of dividends on our common stock is subject to the discretion of our Board of Directors and depends upon a broad range of factors, including our results of operations, financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable legal requirements and such other factors as our Board of Directors may from time to time deem relevant. For these reasons, as well as others, there can be no assurance that dividends in the future will be equal or similar to the amount of the quarterly dividend described in this press release.

Schedule V

Independence Realty Trust, Inc.

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.

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 asset sales, debt extinguishments and acquisition related debt extinguishment expenses, casualty losses, and abandoned deal 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 Core FFO (“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, gains or losses on sales 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.

We updated our definition of CFFO during Q1 2021 to the definition described below. All prior periods have been adjusted to conform to the current CFFO definition.

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 losses, abandoned deal costs and debt extinguishment 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 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 debt less cash and cash equivalents. The following table provides a reconciliation of total debt to net debt (Dollars in thousands).

We present net debt 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.

Same Store Portfolio 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 depreciation and amortization, casualty related costs, property management expenses, general administrative expenses, interest expense, and net gains on sale of assets.

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.

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 at the beginning of the previous year. Properties that are held-for-sale or have been sold are excluded from the same store portfolio.

Total Gross Assets

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).
