Rhea-AI Filing Summary
American Homes 4 Rent outlines 2026 growth, capital plans, and balance sheet strength in an investor presentation. The company guides 2026 Core FFO per share and unit to $1.89–$1.95, with a midpoint of $1.92, implying 2.7% growth over the prior year. Same-home core revenues are expected to grow 1.25%–3.25%, and core NOI 1.00%–3.00%.
AMH plans 1,700–2,100 total development deliveries in 2026, representing $650–$850 million of gross capital investment at the midpoint. In late 2025 and January 2026 it repurchased about 2% of shares and units at an average price of $31.65, and the board approved a new $500 million repurchase program.
The company highlights an investment-grade balance sheet with net debt and preferred shares at 5.2x Adjusted EBITDAre, fixed charge coverage of 4.1x, $890 million of undrawn revolver capacity, $18.8 billion of total capitalization, and no debt maturities until 2028. As of December 31, 2025, AMH owned over 61,000 single-family rental homes across more than 30 U.S. markets.

Insights
AMH pairs modest earnings growth with sizable development and buybacks on an investment-grade balance sheet.
AMH projects 2026 Core FFO per share and unit between $1.89 and $1.95, with 2.7% midpoint growth, while same-home core NOI is expected to rise around 2.00%. This suggests stable, not rapid, earnings expansion, supported by incremental contributions from non-same-home assets and development activity.
The 2026 plan calls for 1,700–2,100 total development deliveries and $650M–$850M of gross capital investment, alongside a new $500M share repurchase authorization and prior repurchases of roughly 2% of shares and units at $31.65. These actions are underpinned by an investment-grade balance sheet, with 5.2x net debt plus preferred to Adjusted EBITDAre, 4.1x fixed charge coverage, a fully unencumbered portfolio, and no debt maturities until 2028, giving flexibility to fund growth and capital returns.

February 2026 Investor Highlights
2Legal Disclosures Forward-Looking Statements Various statements contained in this presentation, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may relate to beliefs, expectations or intentions and similar statements concerning matters that are not of historical fact and are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “potential,” “plan,” “goal,” “outlook,” “guidance” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Examples of forward looking statements contained in this presentation include, among others, our 2026 Guidance, our expectations regarding Same-Home core revenues and occupied days, our belief that our development programs will result in continued growth, the estimated timing of debt refinancings, anticipated share repurchase activity and the estimated timing and volume of our development deliveries. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. These assumptions include, among others, our projections and expectations regarding: market trends in the single-family home rental industry and in the local markets where we operate, our ability to institutionalize a historically fragmented business model, our business strengths, our ideal tenant profile, the quality and location of our properties in attractive neighborhoods, the scale of our national platform and the superiority of our operational infrastructure, the effectiveness of our investment philosophy, and growth strategy strategy, our ability to expand our development program, our ability to grow our portfolio and to create a cash flow opportunity with attractive current yields and revenue growth opportunities and cost efficiencies and our understanding of our competition and general economic, demographic, regulatory and real estate conditions that may impact our business, including the impact of inflation. While we consider these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation, February 27, 2026. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to conform to actual results or changes in our expectations, unless required by applicable law. For a further description of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to the business of the Company in general, see the “Risk Factors” disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in the Company’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes certain financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) because we believe they help investors understand our performance. Any non-GAAP financial measures presented are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for financial measures required by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation from GAAP to non-GAAP are included in the Defined Terms and Non-GAAP Reconciliations in the Appendix section of this presentation, as well as the 4Q25 Supplemental Information Package available on our website at www.amh.com under “Investor Relations”.

20Appendix
21Defined Terms and Non-GAAP Reconciliations 2026 Guidance Set forth on slide 5 and 6 are the Company’s current expectations with respect to full year 2026 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 2026 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 real estate 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 2026 GAAP net income and, as disclosed in our historical financial results, have significantly impacted GAAP net income in prior periods. Average Blended Change in Rent The percentage change in rent on all non-month-to-month lease renewals and re-leases during the period, compared to the annual rent of the previous expired non-month-to-month comparable long-term lease for each individual property. Average Change in Rent for Re-Leases The percentage change in annual rent on properties re-leased during the period, compared to the annual rent of the comparable long- term previous expired lease for each individual property. Average Change in Rent for Renewals The percentage change in rent on non-month-to-month comparable long-term lease renewals during the period. 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.
22Defined Terms and Non-GAAP Reconciliations Core Net Operating Income ("Core NOI“) 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) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to our single-family property portfolio, (2) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (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 NOI and Same-Home Core NOI to their respective GAAP metrics (amounts in thousands): Dec 31, 2025 Dec 31, 2024 Dec 31, 2024 Dec 31, 2023 Net income 513,392$ 468,142$ 468,142$ 432,142$ Hurricane-related charges, net - 8,884 8,884 - Loss on early extinguishment of debt 396 6,323 6,323 - Gain on sale and impairment of single-family properties and other, net (231,460) (225,756) (225,756) (209,834) Depreciation and amortization 504,341 477,010 477,010 456,550 Acquisition and other transaction costs 12,259 12,192 12,192 16,910 Noncash share-based compensation - property management 4,090 4,814 4,814 4,030 Interest expense 185,198 165,351 165,351 140,198 General and administrative expense 83,006 83,590 83,590 74,615 Other income and expense, net (15,660) (22,243) (22,243) (9,798) Core NOI 1,055,562 978,307 978,307 904,813 Less: Non-Same-Home Core NOI (123,366) (87,714) (107,913) (78,573) Same-Home Core NOI 932,196$ 890,593$ 870,394$ 826,240$ For the Years Ended (1) For the Years Ended (2) (1) Same-Home Core NOI based on properties that have been stabilized longer than 90 days prior to January 1, 2024 in the 4Q25 Supplemental Information Package.

The tables below reconcile these metrics, which are calculated in part based on several non-GAAP financial measures (amounts in thousands, except credit ratios): Net Debt and Preferred Shares to Adjusted EBITDAre Fixed Charge Coverage
24Defined Terms and Non-GAAP Reconciliations EBITDA / EBITDAre / Adjusted EBITDAre EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is used by us and others as a supplemental measure of performance. EBITDAre is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, which we calculate in accordance with the definition approved by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) by adjusting EBITDA for gains and losses from sales or impairments of single-family properties and adjusting for unconsolidated real estate joint ventures on the same basis. Adjusted EBITDAre is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adjusting EBITDAre 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 and adjustments for investments in proptech venture capital funds related to the pro rata equity pickup of realized and unrealized gains and losses from their portfolio investments, (2) noncash share-based compensation expense, (3) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to our single-family property portfolio and (4) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt. We believe these metrics provide useful information to investors because they exclude the impact of various income and expense items that are not indicative of operating performance. The following is a reconciliation of net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, to EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre (amounts in thousands): For the Trailing Twelve Months Ended Dec 31, 2025 Net income 513,392$ Interest expense 185,198 Depreciation and amortization 504,341 EBITDA 1,202,931$ Gain on sale and impairment of single-family properties and other, net (231,460) Adjustments for unconsolidated real estate joint ventures 6,940 EBITDAre 978,411$ Noncash share-based compensation - general and administrative 16,078 Noncash share-based compensation - property management 4,090 Acquisition, other transaction costs and other 11,180 Loss on early extinguishment of debt 396 Adjusted EBITDAre 1,010,155$
25Defined Terms and Non-GAAP Reconciliations Funds from Operations (“FFO”) / Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate in accordance with the definition approved by 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 real estate 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 and adjustments for investments in proptech venture capital funds related to the pro rata equity pickup of realized and unrealized gains and losses from their portfolio investments, (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. 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 attributable to common share and unit holders, as well as on a per FFO share and unit basis, provides useful information to investors because it allows 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 and Core 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. FFO shares and units includes weighted-average common shares and operating partnership units outstanding, as well as potentially dilutive securities.
26Defined Terms and Non-GAAP Reconciliations The following is a reconciliation of these metrics to net income attributable to common shareholders, as determined in accordance with GAAP, to Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders (amounts in thousands, except share and per share data): (1) Reflects the effect of potentially dilutive securities issuable upon the assumed vesting/exercise of restricted stock units and stock options and the dilutive effect of forward sale equity contracts under the treasury stock method, if applicable.

27Defined Terms and Non-GAAP Reconciliations 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. Total Capitalization Includes the market value of all outstanding common shares and operating partnership units (based on the NYSE AMH Class A common share closing price as of period end), the current liquidation value of preferred shares as of period end and Total Debt. Total Debt Includes principal balances on unsecured senior notes and borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of period end, and excludes unamortized discounts and unamortized deferred financing costs.
