Fourth Quarter Highlights
Net loss available to common shares of $1.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 compared to $40.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. Loss per diluted share of $0.00 for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 compared to $0.18 for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
Same-store portfolio net operating income (“NOI”) grew 5.3% for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
Core Funds from Operations (“CFFO”) of $75.0 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 compared to $68.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023. CFFO per share was $0.32 for the fourth quarter of 2024, as compared to $0.30 for the fourth quarter of 2023.
Adjusted EBITDA of $94.5 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2024 compared to $95.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2023.
Value add program completed renovations at 395 units during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, achieving a weighted average return on investment during the quarter of 15.1%.
Increased our unsecured credit facility from $500 million to $750 million and extended the maturity under the facility, thereby strengthening our balance sheet while enhancing long-term value through lower interest expense.
Full Year Highlights
Net income available to common shares of $39.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to net loss available to common shares of $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Adjusted EBITDA of $350.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $366.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Investment Activity
Held for Sale
As of December 31, 2024, we had one property in Birmingham, Alabama classified as held for sale. We recognized a loss on impairment of $21.0 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2024. We expect the sale to close in February 2025 for gross sales proceeds of $111.0 million. We intend to use the proceeds from the sale of this property to fund future property acquisitions.
Acquisitions
Highland Ridge, Charlotte, North Carolina: On November 1, 2024, we acquired a 300-unit multifamily apartment property for $73.5 million. This acquisition expanded our footprint in Charlotte, North Carolina from 714 units to 1,014 units.
Serenza at Ocoee Village, Orlando, Florida: On December 5, 2024, we acquired a 320-unit multifamily apartment property for $84.3 million. This acquisition expanded our footprint in Orlando, Florida from 297 units to 617 units.
We are currently under contract to acquire a 280-unit multifamily apartment property in Indianapolis, Indiana, which is expected to expand our footprint in the Indianapolis market while providing enhanced scale and synergies. The aggregate purchase price of this property is $59.5 million, which we expect to fund using proceeds from our Birmingham sale. We expect to complete this acquisition during the first quarter of 2025. While this property is under contract, there can be no assurance that this acquisition will be consummated at expected pricing levels, within expected time frames, or at all.
Capital Expenditures
For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $4.2 million, or $125 per unit, value add and non-recurring expenditures for the total portfolio were $16.1 million and development expenditures for the total portfolio were $10.8 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $24.9 million, or $750 per unit, value add and non-recurring expenditures for the total portfolio were $90.5 million and development expenditures for the total portfolio were $52.4 million, respectively.
Capital Markets
At-the-Market-Offering and Public Offering of Common Stock
During the second half of 2024, we entered into forward sales transactions under our previously announced ATM Program for the forward sale of an aggregate of 2,498,300 shares of our common stock. On December 30, 2024, we physically settled the forward sales transactions for the forward sale of all 2,498,300 shares at a weighted average price of $20.06 per share resulting in proceeds of $50.1 million.
In connection with our previously announced September 2024 public offering of 11,500,000 shares of common stock, we entered into a forward sale agreement with Citigroup. On December 30, 2024, we physically settled 3,250,000 of those shares at a weighted average price of $19.04, per share resulting in proceeds of $61.9 million.
4


The combined proceeds of $112.0 million were used to fund a portion of the purchase prices of the property acquisitions that closed during the fourth quarter 2024. As of December 31, 2024, there were 8,250,000 shares remaining under forward sale agreements, which if physically settled at the then forward price would result in additional proceeds to us of $155.8 million. We intend to use any such future proceeds for future acquisitions.
Private Placement of $150 Million of Unsecured Notes
On October 1, 2024, we received the proceeds from the previously announced $150.0 million unsecured private placement notes, and as of January 6, 2025, we had used a portion of the proceeds to repay $114.0 million of property mortgages maturing in late 2024 and early 2025, with the balance of the proceeds expected to be used to repay a $17.1 million property mortgage maturing in May 2025 and to reduce the borrowings under our unsecured revolver.
‘BBB’ Issuer Credit Rating from S&P Global Ratings
On October 30, 2024, we received a ‘BBB’ issuer credit rating and stable outlook from S&P Global Ratings. The rating is for Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and our operating partnership Independence Realty Operating Partnership L.P.
Expanded Unsecured Credit Facility, Reflecting Increased Financial Flexibility and More Favorable Capital Structure
On January 8, 2025, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement that increased our borrowing capacity under our existing revolver from $500 million to $750 million, and extended its maturity date from January 2026 to January 2029. This transaction strengthened our balance sheet by extending our weighted average debt maturity and increasing our liquidity. It also created long-term stakeholder value through lower interest costs.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
At December 31,2024, our net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA was 5.9x, an improvement of 0.8x as compared to December 31, 2023. As of the same date, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $21.2 million, $155.8 million remaining under forward equity sale agreements, and $305.5 million of capacity remaining on our unsecured revolver, representing total liquidity of $482.5 million. Adjusting for the January 2025 expansion of our unsecured revolver, we have liquidity of $732.5 million.
Dividend Distribution
On December 16, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share of our common stock. The fourth quarter dividend was paid on January 17, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 31, 2024.

2025 EPS, FFO and CFFO Guidance
We are introducing guidance ranges for 2025 diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), FFO and CFFO per share and same-store NOI. A reconciliation of IRT's projected EPS to FFO and CFFO per share is included below. See the schedules and definitions at the end of this release for further information regarding how IRT calculates CFFO and for management’s definition and rationale for the usefulness of CFFO.

(2)Interest expense includes amortization of deferred financing costs but excludes loan premium accretion, net. As a result of purchase accounting we recorded loan premiums, net, that are accreted into and reduce GAAP interest expense over the remaining term of the associated debt. However, loan premium accretion is excluded from CFFO.
(3)Acquisition volume reflects one property in Indianapolis that we expect to acquire during the first quarter of 2025 for approximately $60 million and $220 million to $260 million of acquisitions we expect to complete during 2025 using proceeds remaining under forward equity sale agreements. Disposition volume reflects the sale of one property in Birmingham that we expect to close in February 2025.

Schedule V
Independence Realty Trust, Inc.
Definitions
Average Effective Monthly Rent per Unit
Average effective rent per unit represents the average of net rent amounts, after leasing concessions amortized over the life of the lease, 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.
Development Property
A development property is a property that is either currently under development or is in lease-up prior to reaching overall occupancy of 90%.
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 loss on impairment (gain on sale) of real estate, debt extinguishments and acquisition related debt extinguishment expenses, casualty (gains) losses, income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, and restructuring 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 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, loss on impairment (gain on sale) 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.
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 (gains) losses, loan premium accretion and discount amortization, debt extinguishment costs, and restructuring 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
14


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 consolidated debt less cash and cash equivalents and loan premiums and discounts. The following table provides a reconciliation of total consolidated debt to net debt (dollars in thousands).
As of
Dec 31, 2024Sep 30, 2024Jun 30, 2024Mar 31, 2024Dec 31, 2023
Total debt$2,333,683 $2,286,694 $2,252,559 $2,277,098 $2,549,409 
Less: cash and cash equivalents(21,228)(17,611)(21,034)(21,275)(22,852)
Less: loan discounts and premiums, net(31,721)(33,970)(37,253)(39,804)(44,483)
Total net debt$2,280,734 $2,235,113 $2,194,272 $2,216,019 $2,482,074 
We present net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA 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.
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 interest expense, depreciation and amortization, casualty related costs and gains, property management expenses, general and administrative expenses, net gains on sale of assets, and restructuring costs.
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.
Non Same-Store Properties and Non Same-Store Portfolio
Properties that did not meet the definition of a same-store property as of the beginning of the previous year.
15


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 and not a development property at the beginning of the previous year. Properties that are held for sale or have been sold are excluded from the same-store portfolio.

Rent Premium on Value Add Renovations

The rent premium reflects the per unit per month difference between the rental rate on the renovated unit excluding the impact of upfront leasing concessions, if any, and the market rent for an unrenovated unit as of the date presented, as determined by management consistent with its customary rent-setting and evaluation procedures. We believe excluding the impact of upfront leasing concessions from our rental rates when comparing to the market rental rates for unrenovated units makes the comparison most relevant and the resulting premium provides management with an indicator of the increased rent generated by the unit renovation.

Renovation Costs per Unit

Renovation costs per unit includes all costs to renovate the interior units and make certain exterior renovations, including clubhouses and amenities. Interior costs per unit are based on units leased. Exterior costs per unit are based on total units at the community. Excludes overhead costs to support and manage the value add program as those costs relate to the entire program and cannot be allocated to individual projects.

Return on Investment (“ROI”) on Value Add Renovations
ROI is calculated using the Rent Premium per unit per month, multiplied by 12, divided by the interior renovation costs per unit or the total renovation costs, as applicable. We use ROI on value add renovation projects to measure the profitability of a renovation project relative to other projects or relative to other uses of our capital.
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).
As of
Dec 31, 2024Sep 30, 2024Jun 30, 2024Mar 31, 2024Dec 31, 2023

Investment Activity
Held for Sale
As of December 31, 2024, we had one property in Birmingham, Alabama classified as held for sale. We recognized a loss on impairment of $21.0 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2024. We expect the sale to close in February 2025 for gross sales proceeds of $111.0 million. We intend to use the proceeds from the sale of this property to fund future property acquisitions.
Acquisitions
Highland Ridge, Charlotte, North Carolina: On November 1, 2024, we acquired a 300-unit multifamily apartment property for $73.5 million. This acquisition expanded our footprint in Charlotte, North Carolina from 714 units to 1,014 units.
Serenza at Ocoee Village, Orlando, Florida: On December 5, 2024, we acquired a 320-unit multifamily apartment property for $84.3 million. This acquisition expanded our footprint in Orlando, Florida from 297 units to 617 units.
We are currently under contract to acquire a 280-unit multifamily apartment property in Indianapolis, Indiana, which is expected to expand our footprint in the Indianapolis market while providing enhanced scale and synergies. The aggregate purchase price of this property is $59.5 million, which we expect to fund using proceeds from our Birmingham sale. We expect to complete this acquisition during the first quarter of 2025. While this property is under contract, there can be no assurance that this acquisition will be consummated at expected pricing levels, within expected time frames, or at all.
Capital Expenditures
For the quarter ended December 31, 2024, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $4.2 million, or $125 per unit, value add and non-recurring expenditures for the total portfolio were $16.1 million and development expenditures for the total portfolio were $10.8 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $24.9 million, or $750 per unit, value add and non-recurring expenditures for the total portfolio were $90.5 million and development expenditures for the total portfolio were $52.4 million, respectively.
Capital Markets
At-the-Market-Offering and Public Offering of Common Stock
During the second half of 2024, we entered into forward sales transactions under our previously announced ATM Program for the forward sale of an aggregate of 2,498,300 shares of our common stock. On December 30, 2024, we physically settled the forward sales transactions for the forward sale of all 2,498,300 shares at a weighted average price of $20.06 per share resulting in proceeds of $50.1 million.
In connection with our previously announced September 2024 public offering of 11,500,000 shares of common stock, we entered into a forward sale agreement with Citigroup. On December 30, 2024, we physically settled 3,250,000 of those shares at a weighted average price of $19.04, per share resulting in proceeds of $61.9 million.

gryvd1y3alxt000002a.jpg
The combined proceeds of $112.0 million were used to fund a portion of the purchase prices of the property acquisitions that closed during the fourth quarter 2024. As of December 31, 2024, there were 8,250,000 shares remaining under forward sale agreements, which if physically settled at the then forward price would result in additional proceeds to us of $155.8 million. We intend to use any such future proceeds for future acquisitions.
Private Placement of $150 Million of Unsecured Notes
On October 1, 2024, we received the proceeds from the previously announced $150.0 million unsecured private placement notes, and as of January 6, 2025, we had used a portion of the proceeds to repay $114.0 million of property mortgages maturing in late 2024 and early 2025, with the balance of the proceeds expected to be used to repay a $17.1 million property mortgage maturing in May 2025 and to reduce the borrowings under our unsecured revolver.
‘BBB’ Issuer Credit Rating from S&P Global Ratings
On October 30, 2024, we received a ‘BBB’ issuer credit rating and stable outlook from S&P Global Ratings. The rating is for Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and our operating partnership Independence Realty Operating Partnership L.P.
Expanded Unsecured Credit Facility, Reflecting Increased Financial Flexibility and More Favorable Capital Structure
On January 8, 2025, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement that increased our borrowing capacity under our existing revolver from $500 million to $750 million, and extended its maturity date from January 2026 to January 2029. This transaction strengthened our balance sheet by extending our weighted average debt maturity and increasing our liquidity. It also created long-term stakeholder value through lower interest costs.
Balance Sheet and Liquidity
At December 31,2024, our net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA was 5.9x, an improvement of 0.8x as compared to December 31, 2023. As of the same date, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $21.2 million, $155.8 million remaining under forward equity sale agreements, and $305.5 million of capacity remaining on our unsecured revolver, representing total liquidity of $482.5 million. Adjusting for the January 2025 expansion of our unsecured revolver, we have liquidity of $732.5 million.
Dividend Distribution
On December 16, 2024, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.16 per share of our common stock. The fourth quarter dividend was paid on January 17, 2025 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 31, 2024.

2025 EPS, FFO and CFFO Guidance
We are introducing guidance ranges for 2025 diluted earnings per share (“EPS”), FFO and CFFO per share and same-store NOI. A reconciliation of IRT's projected EPS to FFO and CFFO per share is included below. See the schedules and definitions at the end of this release for further information regarding how IRT calculates CFFO and for management’s definition and rationale for the usefulness of CFFO.

(1)This guidance, including the underlying assumptions presented in the table below, constitutes forward-looking information. Actual full year 2025 EPS, FFO, and CFFO could vary significantly from the projections presented. See “Forward-Looking Statements”. Our guidance is based on the key guidance assumptions detailed below.
(2)Per share guidance is based on 241.2 million weighted average shares and units outstanding.

2025 Guidance Assumptions
Our key guidance assumptions for 2025 are enumerated below. See the definitions at the end of this release for further information regarding our same-store definitions.
Same-Store Portfolio
2025 Outlook(1)
Number of properties/units108 properties / 31,611 units

Capital Expenditures
Recurring$25 million to $27 million
Value add renovation program$48 million to $58 million
Non-recurring and revenue enhancing$47 million to $51 million
Development$5 million to $6 million
(1)This guidance, including the underlying assumptions, constitutes forward-looking information. Actual results could vary significantly from the projections presented. We undertake no duty to update the assumptions used in our guidance except as required by law. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”
(2)Interest expense includes amortization of deferred financing costs but excludes loan premium accretion, net. As a result of purchase accounting we recorded loan premiums, net, that are accreted into and reduce GAAP interest expense over the remaining term of the associated debt. However, loan premium accretion is excluded from CFFO.
(3)Acquisition volume reflects one property in Indianapolis that we expect to acquire during the first quarter of 2025 for approximately $60 million and $220 million to $260 million of acquisitions we expect to complete during 2025 using proceeds remaining under forward equity sale agreements. Disposition volume reflects the sale of one property in Birmingham that we expect to close in February 2025.

DEFINITIONS
Average Effective Monthly Rent per Unit
Average effective rent per unit represents the average of net rent amounts, after leasing concessions amortized over the life of the lease, 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.
Development Property
A development property is a property that is either currently under development or is in lease-up prior to reaching overall occupancy of 90%.
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 loss on impairment (gain on sale) of real estate, debt extinguishments and acquisition related debt extinguishment expenses, casualty (gains) losses, income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, and restructuring 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 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, loss on impairment (gain on sale) 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.
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 (gains) losses, loan premium accretion and discount amortization, debt extinguishment costs, and restructuring 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
29

gryvd1y3alxt000002a.jpg
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 consolidated debt less cash and cash equivalents and loan premiums and discounts. The following table provides a reconciliation of total consolidated debt to net debt (dollars in thousands).
As of
Dec 31, 2024Sep 30, 2024Jun 30, 2024Mar 31, 2024Dec 31, 2023
Total debt$2,333,683 $2,286,694 $2,252,559 $2,277,098 $2,549,409

Less: loan discounts and premiums, net(31,721)(33,970)(37,253)(39,804)(44,483)
Total net debt$2,280,734 $2,235,113 $2,194,272 $2,216,019 $2,482,074 
We present net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA 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.
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 interest expense, depreciation and amortization, casualty related costs and gains, property management expenses, general and administrative expenses, net gains on sale of assets, and restructuring costs.
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.

Non Same-Store Properties and Non Same-Store Portfolio
Properties that did not meet the definition of a same-store property as of the beginning of the previous year.
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 and not a development property at the beginning of the previous year. Properties that are held for sale or have been sold are excluded from the same-store portfolio.

Rent Premium on Value Add Renovations

The rent premium reflects the per unit per month difference between the rental rate on the renovated unit excluding the impact of upfront leasing concessions, if any, and the market rent for an unrenovated unit as of the date presented, as determined by management consistent with its customary rent-setting and evaluation procedures. We believe excluding the impact of upfront leasing concessions from our rental rates when comparing to the market rental rates for unrenovated units makes the comparison most relevant and the resulting premium provides management with an indicator of the increased rent generated by the unit renovation.

Renovation Costs per Unit

Renovation costs per unit includes all costs to renovate the interior units and make certain exterior renovations, including clubhouses and amenities. Interior costs per unit are based on units leased. Exterior costs per unit are based on total units at the community. Excludes overhead costs to support and manage the value add program as those costs relate to the entire program and cannot be allocated to individual projects.


31

gryvd1y3alxt000002a.jpg
Return on Investment (“ROI”) on Value Add Renovations
ROI is calculated using the Rent Premium per unit per month, multiplied by 12, divided by the interior renovation costs per unit or the total renovation costs, as applicable. We use ROI on value add renovation projects to measure the profitability of a renovation project relative to other projects or relative to other uses of our capital.
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).
