Rhea-AI Summary

AMH (NYSE: AMH) reported strong financial and operating results for the first quarter of 2024. Rents and revenues increased, while net income decreased due to lower property sales gains. Core FFO and Adjusted FFO rose, driven by higher rental rates. Sustainability efforts were highlighted, and guidance for the full year 2024 was provided. The company remains focused on growth and value creation for shareholders.

Positive
  • Rents and revenues increased by 6.5% year-over-year for the first quarter of 2024.

  • Core FFO and Adjusted FFO increased by 5.8% and 6.5% year-over-year, respectively.

  • Sustainability initiatives, including the launch of the AMH Cares Foundation, were emphasized in the Sustainability Report.

  • The company provided guidance for full year 2024, showing growth in Core FFO and other key metrics.

Negative
  • Net income decreased due to lower net gains on property sales in the first quarter of 2024.

  • Core NOI from the Same-Home portfolio saw a decrease in Average Occupied Days Percentage.

  • Core property operating expenses increased by 5.9% for Same-Home properties in the first quarter of 2024.

Insights

The decrease in net income attributable to common shareholders to $109.3 million from $117.5 million year-over-year suggests a tightening in profitability despite the reported increase in rental revenues. This phenomenon can be attributed to the lower net gains on property sales, a factor investors might weigh against the backdrop of an otherwise revenue-positive period.

From the perspective of operational efficiency, the 5.8% and 6.5% year-over-year increases in Core FFO and Adjusted FFO, respectively, are positive signals. These metrics are important for assessing the Company's cash flow generating ability from its rental property portfolio, an essential indicator of financial health in the real estate investment trust (REIT) sector.

The report's emphasis on Same-Home Average Occupied Days Percentage remaining strong at 96.2% and the 5.6% blended rate growth are important. The ability to grow rental rates on both new leases and renewals in a competitive market reflects pricing power and demand strength, which could bode well for future revenue growth.

The expansion of the Company’s asset base with 469 high-quality, energy-efficient homes demonstrates a strategic focus on growth through asset accumulation and development. This growth approach aims to satisfy a strong demand in the U.S. for single-family rental homes, potentially positioning the Company favorably within the industry.

Investor sentiment may be buoyed by the responsible growth strategy, reflected in the development program's steady delivery of new homes. This long-term perspective on growth can be a differentiating factor and may enhance the Company's competitive positioning.

Investors should note the balance between property dispositions and acquisitions. Selling 471 properties while adding 441 newly constructed homes indicates a nuanced portfolio management strategy, focusing on quality and efficiency over volume. This strategic balance is key in optimizing asset performance, particularly in a sector with significant maintenance and operational expenses.

The Company's commitment to ESG considerations, exemplified by the publication of its sixth annual Sustainability Report, represents an alignment with broader investor priorities for sustainable and responsible investment practices. The forward-looking move to open a solar-enabled community not only has positive environmental implications but also potentially drives down long-term operating costs, which could have a favorable impact on margins and attractiveness to an increasingly eco-conscious tenant base.

Additionally, the use of green bond designations for the issuance of unsecured senior notes broadens the appeal to sustainability-focused investors and may afford the Company more favorable borrowing terms. As ESG considerations become increasingly integrated into investment decisions, the Company's proactive approach might enhance its market perception and investor base diversification.

Seasonal Demand Drives Strong Early Spring Leasing Activity

LAS VEGAS, May 2, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AMH (NYSE: AMH) (the "Company"), a leading large-scale integrated owner, operator and developer of single-family rental homes, today announced its financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

  • Net income attributable to common shareholders totaled $109.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $117.5 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023.
  • Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO") attributable to common share and unit holders increased 5.8% year-over-year to $0.43 per FFO share and unit for the first quarter of 2024 and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("Adjusted FFO") attributable to common share and unit holders increased 6.5% year-over-year to $0.40 per FFO share and unit for the first quarter of 2024.

  • Achieved Same-Home Average Occupied Days Percentage of 96.2% in the first quarter of 2024, while generating 4.8% rate growth on new leases and 5.9% rate growth on renewals, resulting in 5.6% blended rate growth.
  • Delivered a total of 469 high-quality and energy-efficient newly constructed homes from our AMH Development Program to our wholly-owned portfolio and unconsolidated joint ventures in the first quarter of 2024.

"2024 is off to a strong start with demand accelerating into the spring leasing season as expected. Our property management team has done a great job positioning us for success as we enter our busiest period of the year," stated David P. Singelyn, AMH's Chief Executive Officer. "Additionally, stable and responsible growth through our differentiated AMH Development Program continues to add much needed national housing stock while also providing quality housing to residents and creating value for our shareholders. We remain on track to deliver another year of strong results."

First Quarter 2024 Financial Results

Net income attributable to common shareholders totaled $109.3 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $117.5 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to lower net gains on property sales, partially offset by higher rental rates.

Rents and other single-family property revenues increased 6.5% to $423.6 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $397.7 million for the first quarter of 2023. Revenue growth was primarily driven by higher rental rates.

Core NOI from our total portfolio increased 7.6% to $237.7 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $220.9 million for the first quarter of 2023. This growth was driven by a 7.0% increase in core revenues resulting primarily from higher rental rates, partially offset by a 5.9% increase in core property operating expenses.

For the Company's Same-Home portfolio, core revenues increased 5.3% to $334.1 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $317.4 million for the first quarter of 2023, which was driven by a 5.9% increase in Average Monthly Realized Rent per property, partially offset by a 100 basis point decrease in Average Occupied Days Percentage. Core property operating expenses from Same-Home properties increased 5.9% to $114.8 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $108.4 million for the first quarter of 2023, primarily driven by increased property tax expense from anticipated 2024 property tax assessments and inflationary increases in repairs and maintenance and turnover costs, net and insurance costs. As a result, Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 4.9% to $219.3 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $209.0 million for the first quarter of 2023.

Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders was $180.9 million, or $0.43 per FFO share and unit, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $168.5 million, or $0.41 per FFO share and unit, for the first quarter of 2023. Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders was $166.0 million, or $0.40 per FFO share and unit, for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $153.5 million, or $0.37 per FFO share and unit, for the first quarter of 2023. These improvements were primarily attributable to higher rental rates.

Portfolio

Average Occupied Days Percentage was 95.3% for the first quarter of 2024, compared to 95.0% for the fourth quarter of 2023.

Investments

As of March 31, 2024, the Company's wholly-owned portfolio consisted of 59,343 homes, compared to 59,332 homes as of December 31, 2023, an increase of 11 homes during the first quarter of 2024, which included 441 newly constructed homes delivered to our operating portfolio through our AMH Development Program, 22 newly constructed homes to be disposed and 19 homes acquired through our National Builder Program, partially offset by 471 homes sold to third parties. During the first quarter of 2024, we also developed an additional 28 newly constructed homes which were delivered to our unconsolidated joint ventures, aggregating to 469 total program deliveries through our AMH Development Program. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had 728 properties held for sale and 3,004 properties held in unconsolidated joint ventures.

Capital Activities, Balance Sheet and Liquidity

In January 2024, the Company issued 932,746 Class A common shares under its at-the-market common share offering program (the "2023 At-the-Market Program") at an average sales price of $36.19 per share, receiving net proceeds of $33.2 million after commissions and other expenses of $0.5 million.

In March 2024, the Company sold an additional 2,987,024 Class A common shares through a forward sale agreement under its 2023 At-the-Market Program at an average sales price of $37.03 per share for future estimated net proceeds of $108.6 million after commissions and other adjustments. The forward sale agreement expires in February 2025 and the Company expects to use these net proceeds to repay outstanding indebtedness, to invest in additional portfolio growth opportunities and for general corporate purposes.

During the first quarter of 2024, American Homes 4 Rent, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns, directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of its assets, issued $600.0 million of 5.500% unsecured senior notes with a maturity date of February 1, 2034 (the "2034 Notes"), which carry a green bond designation and were issued under the Company's green finance framework. Interest on the 2034 Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on August 1, 2024. The Operating Partnership received aggregate net proceeds of $595.5 million from this offering, after underwriting fees of $3.9 million and a $0.6 million discount, and before offering costs of $1.3 million.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company paid off the outstanding principal on the AMH 2014-SFR2 asset-backed securitization of approximately $460.6 million, which resulted in $1.0 million of charges related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and related legal fees.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $124.8 million and had total outstanding debt of $4.6 billion, excluding unamortized discounts and unamortized deferred financing costs, with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.2% and a weighted-average term to maturity of 12.0 years. The Company had no outstanding borrowings on its $1.25 billion revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Company's AMH 2014-SFR3 securitization, which had a balance of $475.2 million as of March 31, 2024, is scheduled to mature in the fourth quarter of 2024. During the first quarter of 2024, the Company generated $56.8 million of Retained Cash Flow and sold 471 properties generating $144.7 million of net proceeds.

Sustainability Update

The Company published its sixth annual Sustainability Report highlighting its commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG") considerations as part of its strategy to deliver long-term value to its stakeholders. The report provides transparency on the Company's ESG performance with notable highlights including the opening of our first solar-enabled community, establishment of a Health and Safety Committee, and the launch of the AMH Cares Foundation. The full report can be downloaded on the Company's website at www.amh.com, under "Investor relations."

2024 Guidance

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

Defined Terms

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

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

Occupied Property
A property is classified as occupied upon commencement (i.e., start date) of a lease agreement, which can occur contemporaneously with or subsequent to execution (i.e., signature).

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

Same-Home Property
A property is classified as Same-Home if it has been stabilized longer than 90 days prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented under comparison. A property is removed from Same-Home if it has been classified as held for sale or has experienced a casualty loss.

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

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the First Quarter 2024 Earnings Release and Supplemental Information Package include Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders ("FFO attributable to common share and unit holders"), Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, Retained Cash Flow, Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures are helpful in understanding our financial performance and are widely used in the REIT industry. Because other REITs may not compute these financial measures in the same manner, they may not be comparable among REITs. In addition, these metrics are not substitutes for net income or loss or net cash flows from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, as measures of our operating performance, liquidity or ability to pay dividends. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release and in the First Quarter 2024 Earnings Release and Supplemental Information Package.

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

FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate in accordance with the definition approved by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales or impairment of real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis.

Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental measure of our performance. We compute this metric by adjusting FFO attributable to common share and unit holders for (1) acquisition and other transaction costs incurred with business combinations and the acquisition or disposition of properties as well as nonrecurring items unrelated to ongoing operations, (2) noncash share-based compensation expense, (3) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to our single-family property portfolio, (4) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt and (5) the allocation of income to our perpetual preferred shares in connection with their redemption. 

Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental measure of our performance. We compute this metric by adjusting Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders for (1) Recurring Capital Expenditures that are necessary to help preserve the value and maintain functionality of our properties and (2) capitalized leasing costs incurred during the period. As a portion of our homes are recently developed, acquired and/or renovated, we estimate Recurring Capital Expenditures for our entire portfolio by multiplying (a) current period actual Recurring Capital Expenditures per Same-Home Property by (b) our total number of properties, excluding newly acquired non-stabilized properties and properties classified as held for sale.

We present FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, as well as on a per FFO share and unit basis, because we consider this metric to be an important measure of the performance of real estate companies, as do many investors and analysts in evaluating the Company. We believe that FFO attributable to common share and unit holders provides useful information to investors because this metric excludes depreciation, which is included in computing net income and assumes the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. We believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions and in response to inflation. We also believe that Core FFO and Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, as well as on a per FFO share and unit basis, provide useful information to investors because they allow investors to compare our operating performance to prior reporting periods without the effect of certain items that, by nature, are not comparable from period to period.

FFO shares and units include weighted-average common shares and operating partnership units outstanding, as well as potentially dilutive securities.

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

FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders and Retained Cash Flow are not substitutes for net income or net cash provided by operating activities, each as determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our operating performance, liquidity or ability to pay dividends. These metrics also are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. Because other REITs may not compute these measures in the same manner, they may not be comparable among REITs.

The following is a reconciliation of net income or loss attributable to common shareholders to 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 and Retained Cash Flow for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in thousands, except share and per share data):

Core Net Operating Income

Core NOI, which we also present separately for our Same-Home portfolio, is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that we define as core revenues, which is calculated as rents and other single-family property revenues, excluding expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs, less core property operating expenses, which is calculated as property operating and property management expenses, excluding noncash share-based compensation expense and expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs.

Core NOI also excludes (1) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (2) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to our single-family property portfolio, (3) gains and losses from sales or impairments of single-family properties and other, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) acquisition and other transaction costs incurred with business combinations and the acquisition or disposition of properties as well as nonrecurring items unrelated to ongoing operations, (6) noncash share-based compensation expense, (7) interest expense, (8) general and administrative expense, and (9) other income and expense, net. We believe Core NOI provides useful information to investors about the operating performance of our single-family properties without the impact of certain operating expenses that are reimbursed through tenant charge-backs.

Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI should be considered only as supplements to net income or loss as a measure of our performance and should not be used as measures of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. Additionally, these metrics should not be used as substitutes for net income or loss or net cash flows from operating activities (as computed in accordance with GAAP).

The following are reconciliations of core revenues, Same-Home core revenues, core property operating expenses, Same-Home core property operating expenses, Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI to their respective GAAP metrics for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in thousands):
