SBY Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp.

Silver Bay Realty Trust Corp. (NYSE:SBY) (the “Company” or “Silver Bay”), a single-family rental real estate investment trust ("REIT"), today announced its operating and financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2016.

Highlights

• Recorded total revenue of $31.6 million, a 3% year-over-year increase for the third quarter of 2016, notwithstanding a decrease of 237 properties in the aggregate portfolio
• Increased aggregate occupancy rate to 96.8% on a portfolio of 8,837 single-family properties compared to 94.9% for the third quarter of 2015
• Achieved rental increases of 9.1% on re-leases and 3.6% on renewals for the third quarter of 2016
• Reported a net loss of $1.7 million, or $0.05 per common share, for the third quarter of 2016, a change of 17% compared to the third quarter of 2015
• Increased net operating income (as defined in this release) by 6% to $17.5 million for the third quarter of 2016, compared to the third quarter of 2015
• Achieved Same-Home net operating income (as defined in this release) increase of 8% year-over-year to $12.0 million for the third quarter of 2016
• Reported core funds from operations (as defined in this release) of $0.19 per share, an increase of 12% compared to the third quarter of 2015
• Acquired a portfolio of 322 homes for an aggregate purchase price of $41.5 million on October 1, 2016. This was partially financed with the proceeds from the sale of 66 non-core homes during the quarter.
• Entered into interest rate swap transactions to effectively fix the interest rate on $296 million of the Company’s floating rate debt at 2.8% over the next three years

“In the third quarter we had solid top-line growth and continued momentum across key portfolio metrics including an occupancy rate of 97%. This combined with some operational improvements contributed to an 8% year-over-year increase in Same-Home net operating income,” said Thomas W. Brock, Silver Bay’s Chief Executive Officer. “Our strategy to optimize our portfolio is proceeding as planned. We have virtually exited Southern California at full market value prices for those properties, and are continuing to see opportunities to re-allocate capital in assets that have favorable yields in our core markets. At this point in time, we believe this is the best use of capital to generate strong cash flow and returns to our shareholders.”

Financial Results

Silver Bay reported total revenue of $31.6 million for the third quarter of 2016, a 3% increase compared to total revenue of $30.6 million for the third quarter of 2015, notwithstanding a decrease of 237 properties in the aggregate portfolio. This increase was primarily due to increases in the Company's rental rates and occupancy rate. The Company owned 8,837 properties as of September 30, 2016, compared to 9,074 properties as of September 30, 2015. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2016 was $1.6 million, or $0.05 per common share, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders for the third quarter of 2015 of $1.4 million, or $0.04 per common share.

The Company reported net operating income ("NOI") of $17.5 million for the third quarter of 2016, a 6% increase compared to NOI of $16.5 million for the third quarter of 2015. Same-Home NOI increased to $12.0 million for the third quarter of 2016, an 8% increase compared to Same-Home NOI of $11.1 million for the third quarter of 2015. Core funds from operations (“Core FFO”) for the third quarter of 2016 was $7.1 million, or $0.19 per share, a 12% increase on a per share basis compared to Core FFO for the third quarter of 2015 of $6.4 million, or $0.17 per share. NOI, Same-Home NOI and Core FFO are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of net loss to NOI, Same-Home NOI and Core FFO are included in the unaudited supplemental financial and operating data accompanying this press release.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's liquidity and capital resources as of September 30, 2016 consisted of cash of $37.3 million, escrow deposits of$65.6 million, which consists of cash held in reserve at financial institutions as required by its debt agreements of $23.9 million and earnest money deposits for property purchases of $39.7 million, and $35.9 million in additional borrowing capacity under its revolving credit facility.

During the third quarter of 2016, the Company entered into interest rate swap transactions to effectively fix the interest rate on $296.0 million of variable rate debt under the securitization loan for three years. The swap transactions are structured with a fixed rate that steps up over the three-year term locking in the forward LIBOR curve at the time of execution. This structure resulted in an average effective rate of 2.8% over the three-year term. The swaps qualify for hedge accounting and the Company designated as cash flow hedges. As such, the Company de-designated the three existing interest rate cap agreements associated with the securitization loan.

SILVER BAY REALTY TRUST CORP.DEFINITIONS AND RECONCILIATIONS OF FINANCIAL AND OPERATING MEASURES(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT SHARE DATA)

Aggregate Investment in Real Estate. Aggregate investment in real estate includes all capitalized costs, determined in accordance with GAAP, incurred through September 30, 2016 for the acquisition, stabilization, and significant post-stabilization renovation of properties, including land, building, possession costs and renovation costs. Aggregate investment in real estate includes $20.2 million in capital improvements, incurred from the Company's formation through September 30, 2016, made to properties that had been previously renovated, but does not include accumulated depreciation.

Average Monthly Rent. Average monthly rent is calculated as the average of the contracted monthly rent for occupied properties for an identified population as of period end and reflects rent concessions amortized over the life of the related lease.

Core Net Operating Income Margin ("Core NOI Margin"). During the second quarter of 2016, the Company introduced Core NOI Margin to conform with industry practice. Previously, the Company reported NOI margin. Core NOI Margin is calculated by dividing net operating income by core revenue, which eliminates the impact of bad debt expense from both total revenue and property operating expenses.

Core Revenue. Core revenue is calculated by subtracting bad debt expense from total revenue.

Days from Move-Out to Move-In. Days from move-out to move-in represents the number of days from past resident move out date until a new resident moves into the same property.

Funds From Operations and Core Funds From Operations. Funds from operations ("FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes, when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding its performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of, and impairment losses recognized with respect to, depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated on the same basis to determine FFO.

Core funds from operations ("Core FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses as a supplemental measure of its performance. The Company believes that Core FFO is further helpful to investors as it provides a more consistent measurement of its performance across reporting periods by removing the impact of certain items that are not comparable from period to period. The Company adjusts FFO for expensed acquisition fees and costs, share-based compensation, severance and other, adjustments for derivative instruments, net, income tax expense on the disposition of real estate, and certain other non-cash or non-comparable costs to arrive at Core FFO.

FFO and Core FFO should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or net cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as indications of the Company's performance or as measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. In addition, although the Company uses these non-GAAP measures for comparability in assessing its performance against other REITs, not all REITs compute these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company's basis for computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other REITs. This is due in part to the differences in capitalization policies used by different companies and the significant effect these capitalization policies have on FFO and Core FFO. Real estate costs incurred in connection with real estate operations which are accounted for as capital improvements are added to the carrying value of the property and depreciated over time, whereas real estate costs that are expenses are accounted for as a current period expense. This impacts FFO and Core FFO because costs that are accounted for as expenses reduce FFO and Core FFO. Conversely, real estate costs associated with assets that are capitalized and then subsequently depreciated are excluded from the calculation of FFO and Core FFO.

FFO and Core FFO are calculated on a gross basis and, as such, do not reflect adjustments for the noncontrolling interests - Operating Partnership.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the Company's net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP and its calculations of FFO and Core FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015. Also presented is information regarding the computation of FFO per share and Core FFO per share (amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

(4) Includes the effect of dilutive securities attributable to certain stock based awards meeting market conditions during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.  

FFO per share and Core FFO per share. FFO and Core FFO shares represents FFO and Core FFO divided by the weighted average of common shares and common units in the Operating Partnership for the periods presented and the effect of dilutive securities attributable to certain performance-based stock awards during periods when the performance conditions required under such performance awards are on pace to be achieved.

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP"). GAAP is defined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

Net Operating Income and Same-Home Net Operating Income. The Company defines net operating income ("NOI") as total revenue less property operating and maintenance, real estate taxes, homeowners’ association fees, and property management expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, portfolio acquisition expense, general and administrative expenses, share-based compensation, severance and other, interest expense, net gain on disposition of real estate, adjustments for derivative instruments, net, income tax expense, net and other non-comparable items as applicable. The Company considers NOI to be a meaningful financial measure when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes NOI is helpful to investors in understanding the core performance of its real estate operations without regard to items excluded from the calculation of such measure, which can vary substantially from company to company depending upon accounting methods, book value of assets, capital structure and the method by which assets were acquired, among other factors.

The Company believes Same-Home NOI is a useful measure of performance because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, thereby eliminating the effects of changes in the composition of the portfolio.

The following is a reconciliation of NOI and Same-Home NOI to net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (amounts in thousands):

Neither NOI nor Same-Home NOI should be considered an alternative to net loss or net cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as indications of its performance or as measures of liquidity. Although the Company uses these non-GAAP measures for comparability in assessing its performance against other REITs, not all REITs compute these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the basis for computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other REITs.

Occupancy. Occupancy is defined as the number of occupied properties for an identified population as of the last day of the period divided by the comparative property set.

Retention Rate. Retention rate refers to the number of residents we retain from an identified group of properties with lease expirations (including month-to-month leases) in a specified period. Retention rate is calculated by dividing the number of residents in such an identified pool that remain in our properties by the total number of properties in such pool.

Same-Home Properties. The Company defines Same-Home properties as those properties (1) that it had stabilized and for which it had completed the initial renovation as of January 1, 2015 and (2) that it held in operations throughout the full periods presented in both 2015 and 2016. Same-Home properties exclude properties classified as held for sale and properties taken out of service as a result of a casualty loss.

Stabilized Property. The Company considers a property stabilized at the earlier of (1) its first authorized occupancy or (2) 90 days after the renovations for such property are complete, regardless of whether the property is leased. Properties acquired with in-place leases are considered stabilized even though such properties require a future initial renovation to meet the Company's standards and may have existing residents who would not otherwise meet the resident screening requirements.

Total Properties. Total properties exclude properties reflected as assets held for sale on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets and any properties previously acquired in purchases that have been subsequently rescinded or vacated.

Turnover Rate. Turnover rate is defined as the number of instances that properties in an identified pool become un-occupied over a specific period of time, divided by the number of properties in stabilized status in such identified population.
