Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 that are subject to risks and uncertainties. In particular, statements relating to our liquidity and capital resources, the performance of our properties and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Furthermore, all of the statements regarding future financial performance (including market conditions and demographics) are forward-looking statements. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this quarterly report are based on management’s current beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “result” and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, liquidity or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

 

unfavorable changes in market and economic conditions in the United States and globally and in the specific markets where our properties are located;

 

risks associated with ownership of real estate;

 

limited ability to dispose of assets because of the relative illiquidity of real estate investments;

 

intense competition in the real estate market that, combined with low residential mortgage rates that could encourage potential renters to purchase residences rather than lease them, may limit our ability to acquire or lease and re-lease property or increase or maintain rent;

 

risks associated with increases in interest rates and our ability to issue additional debt or equity securities in the future;

 

failure of acquisitions to yield anticipated results;

 

risks associated with our strategy of acquiring value-enhancement multifamily properties, which involves greater risks than more conservative investment strategies;

 

the lack of experience of NexPoint Real Estate Advisors, L.P. (our “Adviser”) in operating under the constraints imposed by real estate investment trust (“REIT”) requirements;

 

the risk that we may not replicate the historical results achieved by other entities managed or sponsored by affiliates of our Adviser, members of our Adviser’s management team or by Highland Capital Management, L.P. (our “Sponsor” or “Highland”) or its affiliates;

 

loss of key personnel of our Sponsor, our Adviser and our property manager;

 

risks associated with our Adviser’s ability to terminate the Advisory Agreement;

 

our ability to change our major policies, operations and targeted investments without stockholder consent;

 

the substantial fees and expenses we will pay to our Adviser and its affiliates;

 

risks associated with the potential internalization of our management functions;

 

the risk that we may compete with other entities affiliated with our Sponsor or property manager for tenants;

 

conflicts of interest and competing demands for time faced by our Adviser, our Sponsor and their officers and employees;

 

our dependence on information systems;

 

lack of or insufficient amounts of insurance;

 

contingent or unknown liabilities related to properties or businesses that we have acquired or may acquire;

 

high costs associated with the investigation or remediation of environmental contamination, including asbestos, lead-based paint, chemical vapor, subsurface contamination and mold growth;

ii


 

 

the risk that our environmental assessments may not identify all potential environmental liabilities and our remediation actions may be insufficient;

 

high costs associated with the compliance with various accessibility, environmental, building and health and safety laws and regulations, such as the ADA and FHA;

 

risks associated with our high concentrations of investments in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States;

 

risks associated with limited warranties we may obtain when purchasing properties;

 

exposure to decreases in market rents due to our short-term leases;

 

risks associated with operating through joint ventures and funds;

 

potential reforms to Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae;

 

risks associated with our reduced public company reporting requirements as an “emerging growth company”;

 

costs associated with being a public company, including compliance with securities laws;

 

risks associated with breaches of our data security;

 

the risk that our business could be adversely impacted if there are deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting;

 

risks associated with our substantial current indebtedness and indebtedness we may incur in the future;

 

risks associated with derivatives or hedging activity;

 

the risk that we may be unable to achieve some or all of the benefits that we expect to achieve from the Spin-Off (as defined below);

 

the risk that we may fail to consummate our pending property acquisitions;

 

failure to maintain our status as a REIT;

 

compliance with REIT requirements, which may limit our ability to hedge our liabilities effectively and cause us to forgo otherwise attractive opportunities, liquidate certain of our investments or incur tax liabilities;

 

failure of our operating partnership to be taxable as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, possibly causing us to fail to qualify for or to maintain REIT status;

 

risks associated with our ownership of interests in taxable REIT subsidiaries;

 

the recognition of taxable gains from the sale of properties as a result of the inability to complete certain like-kind exchanges in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”);

 

the risk that the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”) may consider certain sales of properties to be prohibited transactions, resulting in a 100% penalty tax on any taxable gain;

 

the ineligibility of dividends payable by REITs for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends;

 

risks associated with the stock ownership restrictions of the Code for REITs and the stock ownership limit imposed by our charter;

 

the ability of our board of directors (the “Board”) to revoke our REIT qualification without stockholder approval;

 

potential legislative or regulatory tax changes or other actions affecting REITs;

 

risks associated with the market for our common stock and the general volatility of the capital and credit markets;

 

failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness or pay distributions at expected levels;

 

risks associated with limitations of liability for and our indemnification of our directors and officers; or

 

any other risks included under Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 15, 2017.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. They are based on estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this quarterly report. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes, except as required by law.

NEXPOINT RESIDENTIAL TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Organization and Description of Business

NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “our”) was incorporated in Maryland on September 19, 2014, and has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The Company is focused on “value-add” multifamily investments primarily located in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through NexPoint Residential Trust Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), the Company’s operating partnership. With the exception of two properties (“Parked Assets”) held by an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder (“EAT”) to complete reverse like-kind exchanges (“1031 Exchange”) under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (see Notes 2, 4 and 10), the Company owns its properties (the “Portfolio”) through the OP, which wholly owns each of the properties. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, NexPoint Residential Trust Operating Partnership GP, LLC (the “OP GP”), is the sole general partner of the OP. As of June 30, 2017, the sole limited partner of the OP is the Company (see Note 10).

The Company began operations on March 31, 2015 as a result of the transfer and contribution by NexPoint Credit Strategies Fund (“NHF”) of all but one of the multifamily properties owned by NHF through its wholly owned subsidiary NexPoint Real Estate Opportunities, LLC (fka Freedom REIT, LLC) (“NREO”). We use the term “predecessor” to mean the carve-out business of NREO. On March 31, 2015, NHF distributed all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock held by NHF to holders of NHF common shares. We refer to the distribution of our common stock by NHF as the “Spin-Off.”

The Company is externally managed by NexPoint Real Estate Advisors, L.P. (the “Adviser”) through an agreement dated March 16, 2015, as amended on June 15, 2016, and renewed on March 13, 2017 for an additional one-year term set to expire on March 16, 2018 (the “Advisory Agreement”), by and among the Company, the OP and the Adviser. The Adviser conducts substantially all of the Company’s operations and provides asset management services for its real estate investments. The Company expects it will only have accounting employees while the Advisory Agreement is in effect. All of the Company’s investment decisions are made by the Adviser, subject to general oversight by the Adviser’s investment committee and the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). The Adviser is wholly owned by NexPoint Advisors, L.P. and is an affiliate of Highland Capital Management, L.P. (the “Sponsor” or “Highland”).

The Company’s investment objectives are to maximize the cash flow and value of properties owned, acquire properties with cash flow growth potential, provide quarterly cash distributions and achieve long-term capital appreciation for its stockholders through targeted management and a value-add program. Consistent with the Company’s policy to acquire assets for both income and capital gain, the Company intends to hold at least majority interests in its properties for long-term appreciation and to engage in the business of directly or indirectly acquiring, owning, and operating well-located multifamily properties with a value-add component in large cities and suburban submarkets of large cities primarily in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States consistent with its investment objectives. Economic and market conditions may influence the Company to hold properties for different periods of time. From time to time, the Company may sell a property if, among other deciding factors, the sale would be in the best interest of its stockholders.

The Company may also participate with third parties in property ownership through limited liability companies (“LLCs”), funds or other types of co-ownership or acquire real estate or interests in real estate in exchange for the issuance of common stock, common units of the OP, preferred stock or options to purchase stock. These types of investments may permit the Company to own interests in larger assets without unduly restricting diversification, which provides flexibility in structuring the Company’s portfolio.

The Company may allocate up to thirty percent of the portfolio to investments in real estate-related debt and securities with the potential for high current income or total returns. These allocations may include first and second mortgages and subordinated, bridge, mezzanine, construction and other loans, as well as debt securities related to or secured by multifamily real estate and common and preferred equity securities, which may include securities of other REITs or real estate companies.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Predecessor

With the exception of a nominal amount of initial cash funded at inception, the Company did not own any assets prior to March 31, 2015. The business and operations of the Company prior to March 31, 2015 occurred under the predecessor. The predecessor included all of the properties in the Portfolio that were held directly or indirectly by NREO prior to the Spin-Off that occurred on March 31, 2015. However, the Company’s consolidated financial statements reflect operations of the predecessor through March 31, 2015 as if they were incurred by the Company. The predecessor was determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). References throughout these consolidated financial statements to the “Company”, “we”, or “our”, include the activity of the predecessor defined above.

Basis of Accounting

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its subsidiaries and the consolidated EAT variable interest entities (“VIEs”) (see “Accounting for Joint Ventures” below and Note 4). All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation. The financial statements of the Company’s subsidiaries are prepared using accounting policies consistent with those of the Company. In addition, the Company evaluates relationships with other entities to identify whether the other entities are VIEs as required by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation, and if so, to assess whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of such entities requiring consolidation. If the determination is made that the Company is the primary beneficiary, then that entity is included in the financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 810. In the opinion of the Company’s management, the accompanying consolidated financial statements include all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring items necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with GAAP. The unaudited information included in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 and notes thereto included in its annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2017. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. It is at least reasonably possible that these estimates could change in the near term.

Real Estate Investments

Upon acquisition of a property, the purchase price and related acquisition costs (“total consideration”) are allocated to land, buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures, and equipment, and intangible lease assets in accordance with FASB ASC 805, Business Combinations, and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805) (“ASU 2017-01”), which the Company early adopted on October 1, 2016 (see “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” below). The Company believes most future acquisition costs will be capitalized in accordance with ASU 2017-01. Prior to the Company’s adoption of ASU 2017-01, acquisition costs were expensed as incurred.

The allocation of total consideration, which is determined using inputs that are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy established by FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (see “Fair Value Measurements” below), is based on management’s estimate of the property’s “as-if” vacant fair value and is calculated by using all available information such as the replacement cost of such asset, appraisals, property condition reports, market data and other related information. The allocation of the total consideration to intangible lease assets represents the value associated with the in-place leases, which may include lost rent, leasing commissions, legal and other related costs, which the Company, as buyer of the property, did not have to incur to obtain the residents. If any debt is assumed in an acquisition, the difference between the fair value, which is estimated using inputs that are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the face value of debt is recorded as a premium or discount and amortized as interest expense over the life of the debt assumed.

The results of operations for acquired properties are included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income from their respective acquisition dates.

Real estate assets, including land, buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and intangible lease assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized at cost. Real estate-related depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as described in the following table:

 

Land

 

Not depreciated

Buildings

 

30 years

Improvements

 

15 years

Furniture, fixtures, and equipment

 

3 years

Intangible lease assets

 

6 months

Construction in progress includes the cost of renovation projects being performed at the various properties. Once a project is complete, the historical cost of the renovation is placed into service in one of the categories above depending on the type of renovation project and is depreciated over the estimated useful lives as described in the table above.

Held For Sale Properties

The Company periodically classifies real estate assets as held for sale when certain criteria are met, in accordance with GAAP. At that time, the Company presents the net real estate assets and the net debt associated with the real estate held for sale separately in its consolidated balance sheet, and the Company ceases recording depreciation and amortization expense related to that property. Real estate held for sale is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.

Impairment

Real estate assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In such cases, the Company will evaluate the recoverability of such real estate assets based on estimated future cash flows and the estimated liquidation value of such real estate assets, and provide for impairment if such undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying amount of the real estate asset. If impaired, the real estate asset will be written down to its estimated fair value. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company did not record any impairment charges related to real estate assets.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may include cash, short-term investments, and cash placed with a qualified intermediary for reinvestment under a 1031 Exchange. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Cash placed with a qualified intermediary may not be immediately accessible; however, due to the short-term nature of the restrictions imposed by a qualified intermediary, the Company considers such cash to be cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is comprised of security deposits, operating escrows, and renovation value-add reserves. Security deposits are held until they are due to tenants and are credited against the balance. Operating escrows are required to be segregated and held by the Company’s first mortgage lender(s) for items such as real estate taxes, insurance, and required repairs. Lender held escrows are released back to the borrower upon the borrower’s proof of payment of such expenses. Renovation value-add reserves are funds identified to finance the Company’s value-add renovations at each of its properties and are not required to be held in escrow by a third party. The Company may reallocate these funds, at its discretion, to pursue other investment opportunities. The following is a summary of the restricted cash held as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

Prepaid Acquisition Deposits

In the normal course of business, the Company incurs costs in connection with future acquisitions that may include good faith deposits made prior to probable acquisitions. Prepaid acquisition deposits are held in escrow and are applied upon closing of the acquisition. Until an acquisition closes, the Company records these deposits in prepaid and other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. No such costs existed as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Deferred Financing Costs

The Company defers costs incurred in obtaining financing and amortizes the costs over the terms of the related loans using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Upon repayment of or in conjunction with a material change in the terms of the underlying debt agreement, any unamortized costs are charged to loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs (see “Loss on Extinguishment of Debt and Modification Costs” below). For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company wrote-off deferred financing costs of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, which is included in loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company wrote-off deferred financing costs of $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, which is included in loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Deferred financing costs, net of amortization, are recorded as a reduction from the related debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.4 million and $0.4 million is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Amortization of deferred financing costs of $1.0 million and $0.7 million is included in interest expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The following is a summary of the Company’s outstanding debt and deferred financing costs, net of accumulated amortization, as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt and Modification Costs

Upon repayment of or in conjunction with a material change (i.e. a 10% or greater difference in the cash flows between instruments) in the terms of an underlying debt agreement, the Company writes off any unamortized deferred financing costs related to the original debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs also includes prepayment penalties incurred on the early repayment of debt and costs incurred in a debt modification that are not capitalized as deferred financing costs.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to amounts in the prior year consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income to conform to current year presentations as a result of an accounting policy election to classify certain expenses incurred in connection with the extinguishment or modification of debt separately from interest expense. These expenses are recorded in loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. As a result, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, interest expense decreased by approximately $0.8 million and $0.8 million, respectively.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests have in the past and may in the future be comprised of joint venture partners’ interests in joint ventures the Company consolidates. When applicable, the Company reports its joint venture partners’ interests in its consolidated joint ventures and other subsidiary interests held by third parties as noncontrolling interests. The Company records these noncontrolling interests at their initial fair value, adjusting the basis prospectively for their share of the respective consolidated investment’s net income or loss, equity contributions, return of capital, and distributions. Generally, these noncontrolling interests are not redeemable by the equity holders and are presented as part of permanent equity. In cases where noncontrolling interests are redeemable by the equity holders, the Company classifies these noncontrolling interests outside of permanent equity and reports the interests at their redemption value using the Company’s stock price at each balance sheet date. Income and losses are allocated to the noncontrolling interest holder based on its economic ownership percentage.

On June 30, 2017, the Company and the OP entered into a contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with BH Equities, LLC and its affiliates (collectively, “BH Equity”), whereby the Company purchased 100% of the joint venture interests in the Portfolio owned by BH Equity, representing approximately 8.4% ownership in the Portfolio (the “BH Buyout”), for total consideration of approximately $51.7 million (the “Purchase Amount”). The Purchase Amount consists of approximately $49.7 million in cash that was paid on June 30, 2017 and $2.0 million in common units of the OP (“OP Units”) that were issued on August 1, 2017. The number of OP units issued was calculated by dividing $2.0 million by the midpoint of the range of the Company’s net asset value as publicly disclosed in connection with the Company’s release of its second quarter of 2017 earnings results. The Company financed the cash portion of the Purchase Amount with $21.4 million of proceeds from a bridge facility, $16.3 million of proceeds from refinancing 22 properties, $11.0 million of proceeds from a credit facility and $1.0 million of cash on hand (see Note 5).

In connection with the issuance of OP units to BH Equity on August 1, 2017, the Company and the OP amended the partnership agreement of the OP (the “Amendment”) (see Note 10). Pursuant to the Amendment, limited partners holding OP units will have the right to cause the OP to redeem their units for cash or, at the Company’s election, shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, as provided in the Amendment, provided that the units have been outstanding for at least one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a limited partner will not be entitled to exercise its redemption right to the extent the issuance of the Company’s common stock to the redeeming limited partner would (1) be prohibited, as determined in the Company’s sole discretion, under the Company’s charter or (2) cause the acquisition of common stock by such redeeming limited partner to be "integrated" with any other distribution of the Company’s common stock for purposes of complying with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

In connection with the Contribution Agreement, the Company fully indemnified BH Equity on all non-recourse carve out guarantees it had previously provided for mortgage indebtedness secured by certain properties in the Portfolio. In consideration of the guarantees previously provided by BH Equity, it was entitled to an additional profit interest in each entity (the “Total Promote”) such that distributions were to be made to the members of the entity pro rata in proportion to their relative percentage interests until the members received an internal rate of return equal to 13%. Then, the proportion of distributions changed to a predetermined allocation according to the agreements between each entity and BH Equity. The Total Promote due by the Company to BH Equity was relinquished in connection with the BH Buyout.

Accounting for Joint Ventures

The Company has in the past and may in the future invest in joint ventures. The Company first analyzes its investments in joint ventures to determine if the joint venture is a VIE in accordance with FASB ASC 810, and if so, whether the Company is the primary beneficiary requiring consolidation. A VIE is an entity that has (1) insufficient equity to permit it to finance its activities without

10


 

additional subordinated financial support or (2) equity holders that lack the characteristics of a controlling financial interest. VIEs are consolidated by the primary beneficiary, which is the entity that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that potentially could be significant to the primary beneficiary. Variable interests in a VIE are contractual, ownership, or other financial interests that change with changes in the fair value of the VIE’s net assets. The Company assesses at each level of the joint venture whether the entity is (1) a VIE, and (2) if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. If an entity in which the Company holds a joint venture interest qualifies as a VIE and the Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary, the joint venture is consolidated. In accordance with FASB ASC 810, the Company consolidates joint ventures that are not VIEs where the Company owns a majority of the voting interests in the entity, which is referred to as a voting interest entity.

As of June 30, 2017, the Company was invested in 35 wholly owned subsidiaries and two variable interest entities. The following table represents the Company’s investments in wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

(1)

Properties were sold during the six months ended June 30, 2017.

(2)

The Company purchased 100% of the ownership interest in the property held by the noncontrolling interest holder/s on June 30, 2017.

(3)

Properties are classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2017.

(4)

Properties are Parked Assets as of June 30, 2017 (see Notes 4 and 10). As such, the properties are considered VIEs (see below).

(5)

Properties were considered VIEs at December 31, 2016.

(6)

Properties were Parked Assets and VIEs at December 31, 2016. The Company completed the reverse 1031 Exchanges of these properties in April 2017 with the sales of the replacement properties, at which time legal title to the properties transferred to the Company. Upon the transfer of title, the properties were no longer considered VIEs (see Note 4).

(7)

Properties were acquired in 2017; therefore, no ownership as of December 31, 2016.

In connection with its indirect equity investments in the properties acquired, the Company, through the OP, directly or indirectly holds 100% of the membership interests in single-asset LLCs that directly own the properties. All of the properties the Company has acquired are consolidated in the Company’s financial statements. The assets of each entity can only be used to settle obligations of that particular entity, and the creditors of each entity have no recourse to the assets of other entities or the Company.

Additionally, the Company has in the past and may in the future enter into purchase and sale transactions structured under 1031 Exchanges. For a reverse 1031 Exchange in which the Company purchases a new property prior to selling the property to be matched in the like-kind exchange (the Company refers to a new property being acquired in the 1031 Exchange prior to the sale of the related property as a “Parked Asset”), legal title to the Parked Asset is held by an EAT engaged to execute the 1031 Exchange until the sale transaction and the 1031 Exchange are completed. The Company, through a wholly owned subsidiary, enters into a master lease agreement with the EAT whereby the EAT leases the acquired property and all other rights acquired in connection with the acquisition to the Company. The term of the master lease agreement is until the earlier of the completion of the reverse 1031 Exchange or 180 days from the date that the property was acquired. The EAT is classified as a VIE as it does not have sufficient equity investment at risk to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. The Company consolidates the EAT as its primary beneficiary because it has the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact the EAT's economic performance and the Company retains all of the legal and economic benefits and obligations related to the Parked Assets prior to completion of the 1031 Exchange. As such, the Parked Assets are included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements as VIEs until legal title is transferred to the Company upon either completion of the 1031 Exchange or termination of the master lease agreements, at which time they will be consolidated as wholly owned subsidiaries. 

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s primary operations consist of rental income earned from its residents under lease agreements typically with terms of one year or less. Rental income is recognized when earned. This policy effectively results in income recognition on the straight-line method over the related terms of the leases. Resident reimbursements and other income consist of charges billed to residents for utilities, carport and garage rental, and pets, administrative, application and other fees and are recognized when earned.

Asset Management and Property Management Services

Asset management fee and property management fee expenses are recognized when incurred in accordance with each management agreement (see Note 8).

Income Taxes

The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and expects to continue to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of its “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Code, to its stockholders. As a REIT, the Company will be subject to federal income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions it pays with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85% of its ordinary income, (2) 95% of its capital gain net income and (3) 100% of its undistributed income from prior years. The Company intends to operate in such a manner so as to qualify as a REIT, but no assurance can be given that the Company will operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT. Taxable income from certain non-REIT activities is managed through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) and is subject to applicable federal, state, and local income and margin taxes. The Company has no significant taxes associated with its TRS for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

If the Company fails to meet these requirements, it could be subject to federal income tax on all of the Company’s taxable income at regular corporate rates for that year. The Company would not be able to deduct distributions paid to stockholders in any year in which it fails to qualify as a REIT. Additionally, the Company will also be disqualified from electing to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost unless the Company is entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. As of June 30, 2017, the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable REIT requirements.

The Company evaluates the accounting and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” (greater than 50 percent probability) of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Company’s management is required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which include federal and certain states. The Company has no examinations in progress and none are expected at this time.

The Company recognizes its tax positions and evaluates them using a two-step process. First, the Company determines whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Company will determine the amount of benefit to recognize and record the amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

The Company had no material unrecognized tax benefit or expense, accrued interest or penalties as of June 30, 2017. The Company and its subsidiaries are subject to federal income tax as well as income tax of various state and local jurisdictions. The 2016 and 2015 tax years remain open to examination by tax jurisdictions to which the Company and its subsidiaries are subject. When applicable, the Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions on its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Reportable Segment

Substantially all of the Company’s net income (loss) is from investments in real estate properties within the multifamily sector that the Company owns through LLCs. The Company evaluates operating performance on an individual property level and views its real estate assets as one industry segment and, accordingly, its properties are aggregated into one reportable segment.

Concentration of Credit Risk

The Company maintains cash balances with high quality financial institutions, including NexBank, SSB, an affiliate of the Adviser, and periodically evaluates the creditworthiness of such institutions and believes that the Company is not exposed to significant credit risk. Cash balances may be in excess of the amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy):

 

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

 

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

 

Level 3 inputs are the unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumption, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on input from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. The Company utilizes independent third parties to perform the allocation of value analysis for each property acquisition and to perform the market valuations on its derivative financial instruments and has established policies, as described above, processes and procedures intended to ensure that the valuation methodologies for investments and derivative financial instruments are fair and consistent as of the measurement date.

Per Share Data

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, which is adjusted for shares classified as treasury shares during the period and excludes any unvested restricted stock units issued pursuant to the Company’s long-term incentive plan (see Note 7). Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by adjusting basic earnings (loss) per share for the dilutive effect of the

14


 

assumed vesting of restricted stock units. During periods of net loss, the assumed vesting of restricted stock units is anti-dilutive and is not included in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. For the three months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.35 and $0.34, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.69. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company incurred basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.18. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred basic and diluted earnings per share of $0.68. 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. The Company has elected to take advantage of this extended transition period. As a result of this election, the Company’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates for such new or revised standards. The Company may elect to comply with public company effective dates at any time, and such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act. The following recent accounting pronouncements reflect effective dates that delay the adoption until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies.

In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements – Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide disclosures when it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. The Company implemented the provisions of ASU 2014-15 as of January 1, 2016 and there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest-Imputation of Interest, which changes the way reporting enterprises record debt issuance costs. The ASU requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements, which supplements the requirements of ASU 2015-03 by allowing an entity to defer and present debt issuance costs related to a line of credit arrangement as an asset and subsequently amortize the deferred costs ratably over the term of the line of credit arrangement. The Company implemented the provisions of ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 as of January 1, 2016 and there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements. 

 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business (Topic 805), which clarifies the definition of a business and provides further guidance for evaluating whether a transaction will be accounted for as an acquisition of an asset or a business. The ASU provides a test to determine whether a set of assets and activities acquired is a business. When substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. Under the updated guidance, an acquisition of a single property will likely be treated as an asset acquisition as opposed to a business combination and associated transaction costs will be capitalized rather than expensed as incurred. Additionally, assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest will be measured at their relative fair values. The Company early adopted ASU 2017-01 on October 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, and there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements or disclosures. The Company believes most of its future acquisitions of properties will qualify as asset acquisitions and most future transaction costs associated with these acquisitions will be capitalized.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, which clarifies the presentation of restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statements of cash flows. Under ASU 2016-18, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statements of cash flows. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 during the three months ended December 31, 2016 on a retrospective basis. As a result, net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $4.0 million in the six months ended June 31, 2016. Net cash provided by investing activities increased by $8.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2016. Beginning-of-period cash and restricted cash total increased by $46.9 million in 2016. The following is a summary of the Company’s cash and restricted cash total as presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, which changes the way reporting enterprises evaluate whether (1) they should consolidate limited partnerships and similar entities, (2) fees paid to a decision maker or service provider are variable interests in a VIE, and (3) variable interests in a VIE held by related parties of the reporting enterprise require the reporting enterprise to consolidate the VIE. The ASU also significantly changes how to evaluate voting rights for entities that are not similar to limited partnerships when determining whether the entity is a VIE, which may affect entities for which the decision making rights are conveyed through a contractual arrangement. The Company implemented the provisions of ASU 2015-02 as of January 1, 2017 and there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which amends several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, accrual of compensation cost, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this standard must be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or as of the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the year of adoption, depending on the type of amendment. The Company implemented the provisions of ASU 2016-09 as of January 1, 2017 and there was no material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity should also disclose sufficient quantitative and qualitative information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers – Deferral of the Effective Date, which amends ASU 2014-09 to defer the effective date by one year. The new standard is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company expects to implement the provisions of ASU 2014-09 as of January 1, 2019. The Company has not yet determined the impact of the new standard on its current policies for revenue recognition.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which changes certain recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. The ASU requires all equity investments, except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or resulting in consolidation, to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The ASU also simplifies the impairment assessment for equity investments without readily determinable fair values, amends the presentation requirements for changes in the fair value of financial liabilities, requires presentation of financial instruments by measurement category and form of financial asset, and eliminates the requirement to disclose the methods and significant assumptions used in estimating the fair value of financial instruments. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company expects to implement the provisions of ASU 2016-01 as of January 1, 2019, and does not expect the new standard to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which supersedes the current accounting for leases and while retaining two distinct types of leases, finance and operating, (1) requires lessees to record a right of use asset and a related liability for the rights and obligations associated with a lease, regardless of lease classification, and recognize lease expense in a manner similar to current accounting, (2) eliminates most real estate specific lease provisions, and, (3) aligns many of the underlying lessor model principles with those in the new revenue standard. The ASU is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Entities are required to use a modified retrospective approach when transitioning to the ASU for leases that exist as of or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements. The Company expects to implement the provisions of ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019 in conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2014-09 discussed above. Based on a preliminary assessment, the Company expects most of its operating lease commitments will be subject to the new guidance and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon adoption, resulting in an immaterial increase in the assets and liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets. The Company is continuing its evaluation, which may identify additional impacts this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

One-month and three-month LIBOR as of June 30, 2017 were 1.2239% and 1.2992%, respectively.

(3)

Loan can be pre-paid in the first 12 months of the term at par plus 5.00%. Starting in the 13th month of the term through the 81st month of the term, the loan can be pre-paid at par plus 1.00% of the unpaid principal balance and at par during the last three months of the term.

(4)

Loan can be pre-paid in the first 12 months of the term at par plus 5.00%. Starting in the 13th month of the term through the 116th month of the term, the loan can be pre-paid at par plus 1.00% of the unpaid principal balance and at par during the last four months of the term.

(5)

Debt was assumed upon acquisition of this property at approximated fair value. The loan is open to pre-payment in the last three months of the term.

(6)

Debt was assumed upon acquisition of this property at approximated fair value. The loan is open to pre-payment in the last six months of the term.  

(7)

Debt in the amount of $18.0 million was assumed upon acquisition of this property at approximated fair value. The assumed debt carries a 4.09% fixed rate, was originally issued in March 2013, and had a term of 120 months with an initial 24 months of interest only. At the time of acquisition, the principal balance of the first mortgage remained unchanged and had a remaining term of 98 months with 2 months of interest only. The first mortgage is pre-payable and subject to yield maintenance from month 13 through August 31, 2022 and is pre-payable at par September 1, 2022 until maturity. Concurrently with the acquisition of the property, the Company placed a supplemental second mortgage on the property with a principal amount of approximately $5.8 million, a fixed rate of 4.70%, and with a maturity date that is the same time as the first mortgage. The supplemental second mortgage is pre-payable and subject to yield maintenance from the date of issuance through August 31, 2022 and is pre-payable at par September 1, 2022 until maturity. As of June 30, 2017, the total indebtedness secured by the property is approximately $22.9 million and has a blended interest rate of 4.24%.

(8)

Debt was assumed upon acquisition of this property at approximated fair value. The loan is open to pre-payment in the last four months of the term.

(9)

The Company reflected valuation adjustments on its fixed rate debt for Belmont at Duck Creek and Parc500 to adjust it to fair market value on the date of acquisition for the difference between the fair value and the assumed principal amount of debt. The difference is amortized into interest expense over the remaining terms of the mortgages. 

(10)

Loan can be pre-paid in the first 12 months of the term at par plus 1.00% of the unpaid principal balance and at par thereafter. Loan’s unpaid principal balance can be declared due and payable in full, at the lender’s discretion, on November 1, 2018 and November 1, 2019.

On June 30, 2017, the Company entered into 22 first mortgages, with a combined principal amount of $502.1 million, on certain of its properties, effectively replacing the $168.4 million of existing mortgage debt outstanding on nine properties and the $300.0 million outstanding under a credit facility (the “$300 Million Credit Facility”), which retired the $300 Million Credit Facility (see “$300 Million Credit Facility” below). The refinancing of the existing mortgage debt incurred approximately $1.7 million of prepayment penalties, which is included in loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), who was the lender on the existing mortgage debt and the $300 Million Credit Facility, also originated the 22 new first mortgages (the “Freddie Refinance”). In accordance with FASB ASC 470-50, Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments, the Company accounted for the refinancing as a modification of a debt instrument. As such, the existing $4.9 million of net deferred financing costs related to the prior mortgage debt and credit facility debt is included with the approximately $2.9 million of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the modification. Such costs are recorded as a reduction from mortgages payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 and are amortized over the terms of the new mortgage debt. Additionally, the Company incurred approximately $2.2 million of costs in connection with the Freddie Refinance that were not capitalized as deferred financing costs. Such costs are recorded in loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company used approximately $16.3 million of proceeds from the Freddie Refinance to fund a portion of the BH Buyout.

The following nine properties had existing mortgage debt that was refinanced: The Summit at Sabal Park, Courtney Cove, The Preserve at Terrell Mill, The Ashlar, Heatherstone, Versailles, Seasons 704 Apartments, Madera Point and The Pointe at the Foothills. The following twelve properties, which were refinanced as described above, were previously cross-collateralized as security for the $300 Million Credit Facility: Arbors on Forest Ridge, Cutter’s Point, Eagle Crest, Silverbrook, Timberglen, Edgewater at Sandy Springs, Beechwood Terrace, Willow Grove, Woodbridge, Venue at 8651, Old Farm and Stone Creek at Old Farm. The Colonnade, which obtained a first mortgage as described above, was not previously encumbered by mortgage debt or credit facility debt.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company sold four properties and repaid the related mortgage loans that encumbered three of the properties, as detailed in the table below (in thousands):

The fourth property the Company sold, Toscana, was released from the collateral pool of the $300 Million Credit Facility upon its sale on April 3, 2017. The Company incurred prepayment penalties of approximately $0.4 million in connection with the payoff of these mortgage loans and $0.1 million of fees in connection with the release of Toscana, both of which are included in loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

The weighted average interest rate of the Company’s mortgage indebtedness was 3.04% as of June 30, 2017 and 2.95% as of December 31, 2016. The increase between the periods is primarily related to increases in LIBOR, partially offset by a weighted average reduction of 57 basis points in the borrowing spread related to the $468.4 million of floating rate debt the Company refinanced on June 30, 2017, as described above. As of June 30, 2017, the adjusted weighted average interest rate of the Company’s mortgage indebtedness was 3.06%. For purposes of calculating the adjusted weighted average interest rate of the outstanding mortgage indebtedness, the Company has included the weighted average fixed rate of 1.2582% on its combined $550.0 million notional amount of interest rate swap agreements that were effective as of June 30, 2017, which effectively fix the interest rate on $550.0 million of the Company’s floating rate mortgage indebtedness (see “Interest Rate Swap Agreements” below). The interest rate cap agreements the Company has entered into effectively cap one-month LIBOR on $427.2 million of the Company’s floating rate mortgage indebtedness at a weighted average rate of 4.11% (see Note 6).

Each of the Company’s mortgages is a non-recourse obligation subject to customary provisions. The loan agreements contain customary events of default, including defaults in the payment of principal or interest, defaults in compliance with the covenants contained in the documents evidencing the loan, defaults in payments under any other security instrument covering any part of the property, whether junior or senior to the loan, and bankruptcy or other insolvency events. As of June 30, 2017, the Company believes it is in compliance with all provisions.

On December 29, 2016, the Company, through the OP, entered into a $30.0 million credit facility (the “$30 Million Credit Facility”) and immediately drew $15.0 million to fund a portion of the purchase price of Old Farm and Stone Creek at Old Farm. On February 1, 2017, the Company drew $14.0 million and used $12.0 million to fund a portion of the purchase price of Hollister Place and $2.0 million to fund value-add renovations at the Company’s properties. In April 2017, the Company used cash on hand plus its share of the proceeds, net of distributions to noncontrolling interests, from four properties it sold to pay down $10.0 million on the $30 Million Credit Facility. On June 30, 2017, the Company drew $11.0 million to fund a portion of the BH Buyout. The $30 Million Credit Facility is a full-term, interest-only facility, has one 12-month extension option and is guaranteed by the OP.

(3)

On June 30, 2017, the Company, through the OP, entered into a $65.9 million bridge facility (the “2017 Bridge Facility”) with KeyBank. The Company drew $44.5 million to fund a portion of the purchase price of Rockledge Apartments and $21.4 million to fund a portion of the BH Buyout. The 2017 Bridge Facility is a full-term, interest-only facility with a four-month term and is guaranteed by the Company. Interest accrues on the 2017 Bridge Facility at an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 3.75%. The Company intends on paying the entire principal balance of the 2017 Bridge Facility with proceeds from the sales of properties classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2017 or cash on hand (see Note 10).

The credit and bridge facilities agreements contain customary provisions with respect to events of default, covenants and borrowing conditions. Certain prepayments may be required upon a breach of covenants or borrowing conditions. As of June 30, 2017, the Company believes it is in compliance with all provisions of the agreements.

$300 Million Credit Facility

On June 6, 2016, the Company, through certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a $200.0 million credit facility, which was expanded to $300.0 million (the “$300 Million Credit Facility”) during the fourth quarter of 2016 to acquire three properties. The $300 Million Credit Facility was cross-collateralized by the following 12 properties: Arbors on Forest Ridge, Cutter’s Point, Eagle Crest, Silverbrook, Timberglen, Edgewater at Sandy Springs, Beechwood Terrace, Willow Grove, Woodbridge, Venue at 8651, Old Farm and Stone Creek at Old Farm.

On June 30, 2017, in connection with the Freddie Refinance, the Company repaid and retired the $300 Million Credit Facility. The refinancing of this existing credit facility debt did not incur prepayment penalties.

2016 Bridge Facility

On December 29, 2016, the Company, through the OP, entered into a $30.0 million bridge facility (the “2016 Bridge Facility”) with KeyBank and drew $30.0 million to fund a portion of the purchase price of Old Farm and Stone Creek at Old Farm. In April 2017, the Company paid down the entire $30.0 million of principal on the 2016 Bridge Facility, which was funded with its share of the proceeds, net of distributions to noncontrolling interests, from properties the Company sold in April 2017. The 2016 Bridge Facility was retired on April 28, 2017.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

In order to fix a portion of, and mitigate the risk associated with, the Company’s floating rate indebtedness (without incurring substantial prepayment penalties or defeasance costs typically associated with fixed rate indebtedness when repaid early or refinanced), the Company, through the OP, has entered into seven interest rate swap transactions with KeyBank (the “Counterparty”) with a combined notional amount of $650.0 million, $550.0 million of which is effective as of June 30, 2017. The interest rate swaps the Company has entered into effectively replace the floating interest rate (one-month LIBOR) with respect to that amount with a weighted average fixed rate of 1.3388%. During the term of these interest rate swap agreements, the Company is required to make monthly fixed rate payments of 1.3388%, on a weighted average basis, on the notional amounts, while the Counterparty is obligated to make monthly floating rate payments based on one-month LIBOR to the Company referencing the same notional amounts. The Company has designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (see Note 6).

6. Fair Value Measures and Derivative Financial Instruments

From time to time, the Company records certain assets and liabilities at fair value. Real estate assets are recorded at fair value at acquisition and may be stated at fair value if they become impaired in a given period. Additionally, the Company records derivative financial instruments at fair value.

Real Estate Acquisitions

As further discussed in Notes 2, 3 and 4, the Company owns 37 properties as of June 30, 2017. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company acquired two properties for $138.0 million. On October 1, 2016, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-01, which requires an entity to capitalize acquisition costs associated with an acquisition that is determined to be an acquisition of an asset as opposed to an acquisition of a business. Upon acquisition of a property, the purchase price and related acquisition costs are allocated to land, buildings, improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment, and intangible lease assets based on their estimated fair values using Level 3 inputs. If debt is assumed upon an acquisition, the debt is recorded based on its estimated fair value using Level 2 inputs.

As discussed in Note 2, fair value measurements at the time of acquisition are determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies available to management. Critical estimates in valuing certain assets and

25


 

liabilities and the assumptions of what marketplace participants would use in making estimates of fair value include, but are not limited to: future expected cash flows, estimated carrying costs, estimated origination costs, lease up periods and tenant risk attributes, as well as assumptions about the period of time the acquired lease will continue to be used in the Company’s portfolio and discount rates used in these calculations. Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable, but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable. Assumptions may not always reflect unanticipated events and changes in circumstances may occur. In making such estimates, management uses a number of sources, including appraisals, third party cost segregation studies or other market data, as well as, information obtained in its pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing and leasing activities. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and estimate fair value. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the estimates discussed herein, using Level 3 inputs, are indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the real estate assets or other financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s borrowings.

The Company utilizes an independent third party to perform the market valuations on its derivative financial instruments. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate caps are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rate of the caps. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the cap are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both the Company’s own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the Company’s derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has determined that the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments made to its derivative contracts, which determination was based on the fair value of each individual contract, was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, all of the Company’s derivatives held as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company’s main objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense related to floating rate debt. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The interest rate swaps have terms ranging from four to five years. Interest rate caps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. The interest rate caps have terms ranging from three to four years. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with a majority of the Company’s floating rate debt. The interest rate cap agreements the Company has entered into effectively cap one-month LIBOR on $427.2 million of the Company’s floating rate mortgage indebtedness at a weighted average rate of 4.11%.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) (“OCI”) and is subsequently reclassified into net income (loss) in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in OCI related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s floating rate debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in net income (loss) as interest expense. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded approximately $0.1 million and $0.1 million, respectively, of gain related to the ineffective portion of changes in

26


 

the fair value of its derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, which is recorded as a reduction to interest expense on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded no ineffectiveness in earnings attributable to derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had three interest rate swap derivatives, with a notional amount of $300.0 million, and 15 interest rate cap derivatives, with a notional amount of $259.7 million, designated as cash flow hedges.

Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements but either do not meet the strict requirements to apply hedge accounting in accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or the Company has elected not to designate such derivatives. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in net income (loss) as interest expense. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had 21 interest rate cap derivatives, with a notional amount of $318.7 million, which were not designated as hedges in qualifying hedging relationships.

Other Financial Instruments

Cash equivalents, rents and accounts receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities are carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Long-term indebtedness is carried at amounts that reasonably approximate their fair value. In calculating the fair value of its long-term indebtedness, the Company used interest rate and spread assumptions that reflect current credit worthiness and market conditions available for the issuance of long-term debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. These financial instruments utilize Level 2 inputs.

7. Stockholders’ Equity

Common Stock

The Company began operations on March 31, 2015 as a result of the transfer and contribution by NHF of all but one of the multifamily properties owned by NHF through its subsidiary NREO. On March 31, 2015, NHF distributed all of the outstanding shares of the Company's common stock held by NHF to holders of NHF common shares. As of June 30, 2017, the Company had 21,293,825 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, issued and 21,043,669 shares of common stock outstanding (see “Treasury Stock” below).

Treasury Stock

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. Since the authorization of, and in accordance with, the Company’s share repurchase program (as described below), the Company has purchased 250,156 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a total cost of approximately $4,587,000. The cost of these shares is included in common stock held in treasury at cost on the consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017. The number of shares of common stock classified as treasury shares reduces the number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding and, accordingly, are considered in the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period.

28


 

Noncontrolling Interests

On June 30, 2017, in connection with the BH Buyout, the Company purchased 100% of the outstanding noncontrolling interests in its joint ventures for approximately $51.7 million. On June 30, 2017, prior to the BH Buyout, the carrying value of such noncontrolling interests was approximately $20.5 million. On June 30, 2017, the Company eliminated the carrying value of such noncontrolling interests on its consolidated balance sheet. The remaining $31.2 million of the Purchase Amount resulted in a reduction to additional paid-in capital on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

Share Repurchase Program

On June 15, 2016, the Board authorized the repurchase by the Company of up to $30.0 million of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share. This authorization expires on June 15, 2018. The Company may utilize various methods to effect the repurchases, and the timing and extent of the repurchases will depend upon several factors, including market and business conditions, regulatory requirements and other corporate considerations, including whether the Company’s common stock is trading at a significant discount to net asset value per share. Repurchases under this program may be discontinued at any time. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company did not purchase any shares of its common stock. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has purchased 250,156 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at a total cost of approximately $4,587,000, or $18.34 per share.

Long Term Incentive Plan

On June 15, 2016, the Company’s stockholders approved a long-term incentive plan (the “2016 LTIP”) and the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-8 registering 2,100,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, that the Company may issue pursuant to the 2016 LTIP. The 2016 LTIP authorizes the compensation committee of the Board to provide equity-based compensation in the form of stock options, appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units and certain other awards denominated or payable in, or otherwise based on, the Company’s common stock or factors that may influence the value of the Company’s common stock, plus cash incentive awards, for the purpose of providing the Company’s directors, officers and other key employees (and those of the Adviser and the Company’s subsidiaries), the Company’s non-employee directors, and potentially certain non-employees who perform employee-type functions, incentives and rewards for performance.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized approximately $1.0 million and $1.6 million, respectively, of equity-based compensation expense related to grants of restricted stock units (see “Restricted Stock Units” below), which is included in corporate general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Company did not recognize any equity-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock units may be granted to the Company’s directors, officers and other key employees (and those of the Adviser and the Company’s subsidiaries) and typically vest over a three to four year period for officers and annually for directors. Beginning on the date of grant, restricted stock units earn dividends that are payable in cash on the vesting date. On August 11, 2016, pursuant to the 2016 LTIP, the Company granted 209,797 restricted stock units to its directors and officers. On March 16, 2017, pursuant to the 2016 LTIP, the Company granted 219,802 restricted stock units to its directors and officers. As of June 30, 2017, the Company has recognized a liability of approximately $0.3 million related to dividends earned on restricted stock units that are payable in cash upon vesting. The following table includes the number of restricted stock units granted, vested, forfeited and outstanding as of June 30, 2017:

8. Related Party Transactions

Fees and Reimbursements to BH and its Affiliates

The Company has entered into management agreements with BH Management Services, LLC (“BH”), the Company’s property manager and an independently owned third party, who manages the Company’s properties and supervises the implementation of the Company’s value-add program. BH is an affiliate of the entities that were noncontrolling interest members of the Company’s joint ventures prior to the BH Buyout on June 30, 2017. BH is an affiliate of BH Equity, who became a noncontrolling interest member and limited partner of the OP upon execution of the Amendment (see Note 10). BH and its affiliates do not have common ownership in any joint venture with the Company’s Adviser; there is also no common ownership between BH and its affiliates and the Company’s Adviser. The property management fee paid to BH is approximately 3% of the monthly gross income from each property managed. Currently, BH manages all of the Company’s properties. Additionally, the Company may pay BH certain other fees, including: (1) a fee of $15.00 per unit for the one-time setup and inspection of properties, (2) a construction supervision fee of 5-6% of total project costs, which is capitalized, (3) acquisition fees and due diligence costs reimbursements, and (4) other owner approved fees at $55 per hour. BH also acts as a paymaster for the properties and is reimbursed at cost for various operating expenses it pays on behalf of the properties. The following is a summary of fees that the properties incurred to BH and its affiliates, as well as reimbursements paid to BH from the properties for various operating expenses, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

(5)

Asset Management Fee

In accordance with the operating agreement of each entity that owns the real estate properties, the Company earned an asset management fee for services provided in connection with monitoring the operations of the properties. The asset management fee was equal to 0.5% per annum of the aggregate effective gross income of the properties, as defined in each of the operating agreements. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the properties incurred asset management fees to the Company of approximately $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the properties incurred asset management fees to the Company of approximately $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Since the fees were paid to the Company (and not the Adviser) by consolidated properties, they have been eliminated in consolidation. However, because the Company’s previous joint venture partners owned a portion of each entity, with the exception of Old Farm, Stone Creek at Old Farm and Hollister Place, prior to the Company’s purchase of 100% of their joint venture interests, they absorbed their pro rata share of the asset management fee. This amount is reflected on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income in the net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. 

30


 

Advisory and Administrative Fee 

In accordance with the Advisory Agreement, the Company pays the Adviser an advisory fee equal to 1.00% of the Average Real Estate Assets (as defined below). The duties performed by the Company’s Adviser under the terms of the Advisory Agreement include, but are not limited to: providing daily management for the Company, selecting and working with third party service providers, managing the Company’s properties or overseeing the third party property manager, formulating an investment strategy for the Company and selecting suitable properties and investments, managing the Company’s outstanding debt on its properties and its interest rate exposure through derivative instruments, determining when to sell assets, and managing the value-add program or overseeing a third party vendor that implements the value-add program. “Average Real Estate Assets” means the average of the aggregate book value of Real Estate Assets before reserves for depreciation or other non-cash reserves, computed by taking the average of the book value of real estate assets at the end of each month (1) for which any fee under the Advisory Agreement is calculated or (2) during the year for which any expense reimbursement under the Advisory Agreement is calculated. “Real Estate Assets” is defined broadly in the Advisory Agreement to include, among other things, investments in real estate-related securities and mortgages and reserves for capital expenditures (the value-add program). The advisory fee is payable monthly in arrears in cash, unless the Adviser elects, in its sole discretion, to receive all or a portion of the advisory fee in shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations.

In accordance with the Advisory Agreement, the Company also pays the Adviser an administrative fee equal to 0.20% of the Average Real Estate Assets. The administrative fee is payable monthly in arrears in cash, unless the Adviser elects, in its sole discretion, to receive all or a portion of the administrative fee in shares of common stock, subject to certain limitations.

The advisory and administrative fees paid to the Adviser on the Contributed Assets (as defined below) are subject to an annual cap of approximately $5.4 million (the “Contributed Assets Cap”) (see “Expense Cap” below).

Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Company will reimburse the Adviser for all documented Operating Expenses and Offering Expenses it incurs on behalf of the Company. “Operating Expenses” include legal, accounting, financial and due diligence services performed by the Adviser that outside professionals or outside consultants would otherwise perform, the Company’s pro rata share of rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses of the Adviser required for the Company’s operations, and compensation expenses under the 2016 LTIP. Operating Expenses do not include expenses for the advisory and administrative services described in the Advisory Agreement. Certain Operating Expenses, such as the Company’s ratable share of rent, telephone, utilities, office furniture, equipment, machinery and other office, internal and overhead expenses incurred by the Adviser or its affiliates that relate to the operations of the Company, will be billed monthly to the Company under a shared services agreement. “Offering Expenses” include all expenses (other than underwriters’ discounts) in connection with an offering, including, without limitation, legal, accounting, printing, mailing and filing fees and other documented offering expenses. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Adviser did not bill any Operating Expenses or Offering Expenses to the Company and any such expenses the Adviser incurred during the periods are considered to be permanently waived.

Expense Cap

Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, expenses paid or incurred by the Company for advisory and administrative fees payable to the Adviser and Operating Expenses will not exceed 1.5% of Average Real Estate Assets per calendar year (or part thereof that the Advisory Agreement is in effect (the “Expense Cap”)). The Expense Cap does not limit the reimbursement of expenses related to Offering Expenses. The Expense Cap also does not apply to legal, accounting, financial, due diligence and other service fees incurred in connection with mergers and acquisitions, extraordinary litigation or other events outside the Company’s ordinary course of business or any out-of-pocket acquisitions or due diligence expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of real estate assets. Also, advisory and administrative fees are further limited on Contributed Assets to approximately $5.4 million in any calendar year. Contributed Assets refers to all Real Estate Assets contributed to the Company as part of the Spin-Off. The Contributed Assets Cap is not reduced for dispositions of such assets subsequent to the Spin-Off. Advisory and administrative fees on New Assets are not subject to the above limitation and are based on an annual rate of 1.2% on Average Real Estate Assets, but are subject to the Expense Cap. New Assets are all Real Estate Assets that are not Contributed Assets.

31


 

For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred advisory and administrative fees of $1.8 million and $1.6 million, respectively. The amount paid for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 represents the maximum fee allowed on Contributed Assets (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) under the Advisory Agreement plus approximately $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of advisory and administrative fees incurred on New Assets (as defined in the Advisory Agreement). For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company incurred advisory and administrative fees of $3.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively. The amount paid for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 represents the maximum fee allowed on Contributed Assets (as defined in the Advisory Agreement) under the Advisory Agreement plus approximately $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of advisory and administrative fees incurred on New Assets (as defined in the Advisory Agreement). These fees are reflected on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income in advisory and administrative fees.

The increase in advisory and administrative fees on New Assets between both the periods was due to the acquisition of additional properties classified as New Assets after the Spin-Off, for which the Adviser has elected to receive fees on, and the timing of the acquisitions (the Company acquired one property in July 2016 and one property in October 2016 that the Adviser elected to receive advisory and administrative fees on). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, the Adviser elected to voluntarily waive the advisory and administrative fees incurred on the two properties acquired in December 2016, the property acquired in February 2017 and the property acquired in June 2017, which are considered to be permanently waived for the periods, as the properties were initially financed solely with debt; however, it is not contractually obligated to waive fees on New Assets in the future and may cease waiving fees on New Assets at its discretion.

Other Related Party Transactions

The Company has in the past, and may in the future, utilize the services of affiliated parties. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company paid approximately $1.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, to NexBank Title, Inc. (“NexBank Title”). NexBank Title is an affiliate of the Adviser through common beneficial ownership. NexBank Title provides title insurance and work related to providing title insurance on properties related to dispositions and refinancing transactions. These amounts are either capitalized as deferred financing costs, expensed as loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs, or expensed as selling costs when determining gain (loss) on sales of real estate, depending on the appropriate accounting as determined for each specific transaction.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various rehabilitation construction related purchase commitments with parties that provide these goods and services. In the event the Company were to terminate rehabilitation construction services prior to the completion of projects, the Company could potentially be committed to satisfy outstanding or uncompleted purchase orders with such parties. As of June 30, 2017, management does not anticipate any material deviations from schedule or budget related to rehabilitation projects currently in process.

Contingencies

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims, lawsuits, and legal proceedings. While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of all such matters, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of amounts provided or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income of the Company. The Company is not involved in any material litigation nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against the Company or its properties or subsidiaries.

The Company is not aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, assets, or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that such a material environmental liability does not exist. The existence of any such material environmental liability could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a limited partner will not be entitled to exercise its redemption right to the extent the issuance of the Company’s common stock to the redeeming limited partner would (1) be prohibited, as determined in the Company’s sole discretion, under the Company’s charter or (2) cause the acquisition of common stock by such redeeming limited partner to be "integrated" with any other distribution of the Company’s common stock for purposes of complying with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition and our historical results of operations. The following should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected, forecasted, or expected in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this report, and “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our annual report on Form 10-K (our “Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 15, 2017.

Overview

As of June 30, 2017, our portfolio consisted of 37 multifamily properties primarily located in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States encompassing 12,735 units of apartment space that was approximately 92.8% leased with a weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied apartment unit of $922. With the exception of two properties (the “Parked Assets”) held by an Exchange Accommodation Titleholder (“EAT”) to complete reverse like-kind exchanges (“1031 Exchange”) under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (see Notes 2 and 4 to our consolidated financial statements), we own our properties (the “Portfolio”) through our operating partnership, NexPoint Residential Trust Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), which wholly owns each of the properties.

We are primarily focused on directly or indirectly acquiring, owning, and operating well-located multifamily properties with a value-add component in large cities and suburban submarkets of large cities, primarily in the Southeastern and Southwestern United States. We generate revenue primarily by leasing our multifamily properties. We intend to employ targeted management and a value-add program at a majority of our properties in an attempt to improve rental rates and the net operating income (“NOI”) at our properties and achieve long-term capital appreciation for our stockholders. We are externally managed by NexPoint Real Estate Advisors, L.P. (the “Adviser”) through an agreement dated March 16, 2015, as amended on June 15, 2016 (the “Advisory Agreement”), by and among the OP, the Adviser and us. The Advisory Agreement was renewed on March 13, 2017 for an additional one-year term set to expire on March 16, 2018. The Adviser is wholly owned by NexPoint Advisors, L.P. and is an affiliate of Highland Capital Management, L.P (the “Sponsor” or “Highland”).

We began operations on March 31, 2015 as a result of the transfer and contribution by NexPoint Credit Strategies Fund (“NHF”) of all but one of the multifamily properties owned by NHF through its wholly owned subsidiary NexPoint Real Estate Opportunities, LLC (fka Freedom REIT, LLC) (“NREO”) in exchange for 100% of its outstanding common stock. We use the term “predecessor” to mean the carve-out business of NREO, which owned all or a majority interest in the multifamily properties transferred or contributed to us by NHF through NREO. On March 31, 2015, NHF distributed all of the outstanding shares of our common stock held by NHF to holders of NHF common shares. We refer to the distribution of our common stock by NHF as the “Spin-Off.” Substantially all of our operations were conducted by our predecessor prior to March 31, 2015. With the exception of a nominal amount of initial cash funded at inception, we did not own any assets prior to March 31, 2015. Our predecessor included all of the properties in our Portfolio that were held indirectly by NREO prior to the Spin-Off. Our predecessor was determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). References throughout this report to the “Company,” “we,” or “our,” include the activity of the predecessor defined above.

On June 30, 2017, we and our OP entered into a contribution agreement (the “Contribution Agreement”) with BH Equities, LLC and its affiliates (collectively, “BH Equity”), whereby we purchased 100% of the joint venture interests in the Portfolio owned by BH Equity, representing approximately 8.4% ownership in the Portfolio (the “BH Buyout”), for total consideration of approximately $51.7 million (the “Purchase Amount”). The Purchase Amount consists of approximately $49.7 million in cash that was paid on June 30, 2017 and $2.0 million in common units of the OP (“OP Units”) that were issued on August 1, 2017. We financed the cash portion of the Purchase Amount with $21.4 million of proceeds from a bridge facility, $16.3 million of proceeds from refinancing 22 properties, $11.0 million of proceeds from a credit facility and $1.0 million of cash on hand. See Notes 2, 5, 7 and 10 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on these transactions.

On August 1, 2017, we and our OP amended the partnership agreement of the OP and issued $2.0 million of OP Units, or 73,233 OP Units, to BH Equity in connection with the BH Buyout. The number of OP units issued was calculated by dividing $2.0 million by the midpoint of the range of our net asset value as publicly disclosed in connection with the release of our second quarter of 2017 earnings results. Pursuant to the Amendment, limited partners holding OP units will have the right to cause the OP to redeem their units for cash or, at our election, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, as provided in the Amendment, provided that the units have been outstanding for at least one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a limited partner will not be entitled to exercise its redemption right to the extent the issuance of our common stock to the redeeming limited partner would (1) be prohibited, as determined in our sole discretion, under our charter or (2) cause the acquisition of common stock by such redeeming limited partner to be "integrated" with any other distribution of our common stock for purposes of complying with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

34


 

On June 30, 2017, we entered into 22 first mortgages, with a combined principal amount of $502.1 million, on certain of our properties, effectively replacing the $168.4 million of existing mortgage debt outstanding on nine properties and the $300.0 million outstanding under a credit facility (the “$300 Million Credit Facility”), which retired the $300 Million Credit Facility. The refinancing of the existing mortgage debt incurred approximately $1.7 million of prepayment penalties, which is included in loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), who was the lender on the existing mortgage debt and the $300 Million Credit Facility, also originated the 22 new first mortgages (the “Freddie Refinance”). The additional proceeds from the Freddie Refinance were used to fund a portion of the BH Buyout. The Freddie Refinance effectively lowered the borrowing spread on $468.4 million of our floating rate debt by approximately 57 basis points, or $2.7 million on an annualized basis. For more information regarding these transactions, see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we, through our OP, entered into two interest rate swap transactions with a combined notional amount of $150.0 million. As of June 30, 2017, we have entered into seven interest rate swap transactions with a combined notional amount of $650.0 million at a weighted average fixed rate of 1.3388%, effectively fixing the interest rate on approximately 78% of our $833.7 million of total floating rate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the adjusted weighted average interest rate of our total indebtedness was 3.34% (see Item 3, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” below, and Notes 5 and 6 to our consolidated financial statements).

On July 14, 2017, we sold Regatta Bay, which completed the reverse 1031 Exchange of Hollister Place. Title to Hollister Place transferred to us upon completion of the 1031 Exchange. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information on this sale.

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and expect to continue to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders. As a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85% of our ordinary income, (2) 95% of our capital gain net income and (3) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. We believe we qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code, and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT. Taxable income from certain non-REIT activities is managed through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) and is subject to applicable federal, state, and local income and margin taxes. We had no significant taxes associated with our TRS for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Components of Our Revenues and Expenses

Revenues

Rental income. Our earnings are primarily attributable to the rental revenue from our multifamily properties. We anticipate that the leases we enter into for our multifamily properties will typically be for one year or less.

Other income. Other income includes ancillary income earned from tenants such as application fees, late fees, laundry fees, utility reimbursements, and other rental related fees charged to tenants.

Expenses

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses include property maintenance costs, salary and employee benefit costs, utilities and other property operating costs.

Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes include the property taxes assessed by local and state authorities depending on the location of each property. Insurance includes the cost of commercial, general liability, and other needed insurance for each property.

Property management fees. Property management fees include fees paid to BH Management Services, LLC (“BH”), our property manager, or other third party management companies for managing each property (see Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements).

Advisory and administrative fees. Advisory and administrative fees include the fees paid to our Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement (see Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements).

35


 

Corporate general and administrative expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses include, but are not limited to, payments of reimbursements to the Adviser for operating expenses, audit fees, legal fees, listing fees, board of director fees, equity-based compensation expense and investor relations costs. Corporate general and administrative expenses and the advisory and administrative fees paid to our Adviser (including advisory and administrative fees on properties defined in the Advisory Agreement as New Assets) will not exceed 1.5% of Average Real Estate Assets per calendar year (or part thereof that the Advisory Agreement is in effect), calculated in accordance with the Advisory Agreement, or the Expense Cap. The Expense Cap does not limit the reimbursement by the Company of expenses related to securities offerings paid by the Adviser. The Expense Cap also does not apply to legal, accounting, financial, due diligence, and other service fees incurred in connection with mergers and acquisitions, extraordinary litigation, or other events outside the Company’s ordinary course of business or any out-of-pocket acquisition or due diligence expenses incurred in connection with the acquisition or disposition of real estate assets.

Property general and administrative expenses. Property general and administrative expenses include the costs of marketing, professional fees, general office supplies, and other administrative related costs of each property.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization costs primarily include depreciation of our multifamily properties and amortization of acquired in-place leases.

Other Income and Expense

Interest expense. Interest expense primarily includes the cost of interest expense on debt, the amortization of deferred financing costs and the related impact of interest rate derivatives used to manage our interest rate risk.

Loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs. Loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs includes prepayment penalties and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the early retirement of debt and costs incurred in a debt modification that are not capitalized as deferred financing costs.

Gain on sales of real estate. Gain on sales of real estate includes the gain recognized upon sales of properties. Gain on sales of real estate is calculated by deducting the carrying value of the real estate and costs incurred to sell the properties from the sales prices of the properties.

The change in our net income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the net income for the three months ended June 30, 2016 primarily relates to increases in depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs, and was partially offset by increases in gain on sales of real estate and same store operating results. The change in our net income between the periods was also due to our acquisition and disposition activity in 2016 and 2017 and the timing of the transactions (we acquired four properties in the second half of 2016, one property in the first quarter of 2017 and one property in the second quarter of 2017; we sold three properties in the second quarter of 2016, four properties in the third quarter of 2016 and four properties in the second quarter of 2017).

Revenues

Rental income. Rental income was $30.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $29.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $1.1 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to an 11.0% increase in the weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied apartment unit in our Portfolio to $922 as of June 30, 2017 from $830 as of June 30, 2016, primarily driven by the value-add program that we have implemented and organic growth in rents in the markets where our properties are located. The increase between the periods was partially offset by a decrease in the occupancy rate of the Portfolio of 0.9% to 92.8% as of June 30, 2017 from 93.7% as of June 30, 2016.

Other income. Other income was $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $0.4 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to a $0.4 million, or 15.9%, increase in utility reimbursements.

Expenses

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses were $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $9.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was a decrease of less than $0.1 million. The decrease between the periods was primarily due to a $0.1 million, or 3.6%, decrease in labor costs, partially offset by a $0.1 million, or 4.1%, increase in repairs and maintenance costs.

Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes and insurance costs were $5.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $1.0 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to a $0.9 million, or 25.8%, increase in property taxes and a $0.1 million, or 17.3%, increase in property liability insurance. Property taxes incurred in the first year of ownership may be significantly less than subsequent years since the purchase price of the property may trigger a significant increase in assessed value by the taxing authority in subsequent years, increasing the costs of real estate taxes.

Property management fees. Property management fees were $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $0.1 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to increases in rental income and other income, which the fee is primarily based on.

Advisory and administrative fees. Advisory and administrative fees were $1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $0.2 million. The amount incurred during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 represents the maximum fee allowed on properties defined as Contributed Assets under the Advisory Agreement plus approximately $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of advisory and administrative fees incurred on certain properties defined as New Assets. The increase in advisory and administrative fees on New Assets between the periods was due to the acquisition of additional properties classified as New Assets after the Spin-Off, for which our Adviser has elected to receive fees on, and the timing of the acquisitions (we acquired one property in July 2016 and one property in October 2016 that our Adviser elected to receive advisory and administrative fees on). For the three months ended June 30, 2017, our Adviser elected to voluntarily waive the advisory and administrative fees incurred on the two properties we acquired in December 2016, the property we acquired in February 2017 and the property we acquired in June 2017, which are considered to be permanently waived for the period, as the properties were initially financed solely with debt; however, it is not contractually obligated to waive fees on New Assets in the future and may cease waiving fees on New Assets at its discretion. Advisory and administrative fees may increase in future periods as we acquire additional properties, which will be classified as New Assets.

Corporate general and administrative expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses were $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $1.1 million. The increase between periods primarily relates to approximately $1.0 million of equity-based compensation expense recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2017 related to the grants of restricted stock units to our directors and officers pursuant to our 2016 LTIP (see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements). Subject to the Expense Cap, corporate general and administrative expenses may increase in future periods as we acquire additional properties.

Property general and administrative expenses. Property general and administrative expenses remained flat at $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization costs were $12.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $4.1 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to the amortization of intangible lease assets of $2.5 million related to five properties for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.1 million related to one property for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $2.4 million, as well as the acquisition of six properties subsequent to June 30, 2016. The

37


 

amortization of intangible lease assets over a six-month period from the date of acquisition is expected to increase the amortization expense during the initial year of operations for each property. The increase between the periods was partially offset by a reduction in depreciation expense related to the disposition of eight properties and classification of five additional properties as held for sale subsequent to June 30, 2016.

Other Income and Expense

Interest expense. Interest expense was $7.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $5.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $1.5 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to increases in interest on debt and interest expense costs incurred on our interest rate swap derivatives (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Interest Rate Swap Agreements” below), as shown in the table below. The following is a table that details the various costs included in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

Loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs was $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $4.0 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to increases in prepayment penalties of approximately $1.8 million and debt modification expenses of approximately $2.0 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we sold four properties and three properties, respectively.

The change in our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the net income for the six months ended June 30, 2016 primarily relates to increases in depreciation and amortization expense, interest expense and loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs, and was partially offset by increases in gain on sales of real estate and same store operating results. The change in our net income between the periods was also due to our acquisition and disposition activity in 2016 and 2017 and the timing of the transactions (we acquired four properties in the second half of 2016, one property in the first quarter of 2017 and one property in the second quarter of 2017; we sold three properties in the second quarter of 2016, four properties in the third quarter of 2016 and four properties in the second quarter of 2017).

Revenues

Rental income. Rental income was $62.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $58.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $3.6 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to an 11.0% increase in the weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied apartment unit in our Portfolio to $922 as of June 30, 2017 from $830 as of June 30, 2016, primarily driven by the value-add program that we have implemented and organic growth in rents in the markets where our properties are located. The increase between the periods was partially offset by a decrease in the occupancy rate of the Portfolio of 0.9% to 92.8% as of June 30, 2017 from 93.7% as of June 30, 2016.

Other income. Other income was $9.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $1.4 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to a $0.8 million, or 16.9%, increase in utility reimbursements.

Expenses

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses were $19.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $19.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $0.4 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to a $0.6 million, or 9.7%, increase in repairs and maintenance costs, partially offset by a $0.2 million, or 3.0%, decrease in labor costs.

Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes and insurance costs were $10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $8.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $1.7 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to a $1.6 million, or 23.2%, increase in property taxes and a $0.1 million, or 6.1%, increase in property liability insurance. Property taxes incurred in the first year of ownership may be significantly less than subsequent years since the purchase price of the property may trigger a significant increase in assessed value by the taxing authority in subsequent years, increasing the costs of real estate taxes.

Property management fees. Property management fees were $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $2.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $0.2 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to increases in rental income and other income, which the fee is primarily based on.

Advisory and administrative fees. Advisory and administrative fees were $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $0.5 million. The amount incurred during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 represents the maximum fee allowed on properties defined as Contributed Assets under the Advisory Agreement plus approximately $1.0 million and $0.6 million, respectively, of advisory and administrative fees incurred on certain properties defined as New Assets. The increase in advisory and administrative fees on New Assets between the periods was due to the acquisition of additional properties classified as New Assets after the Spin-Off, for which our Adviser has elected to receive fees on, and the timing of the acquisitions (we acquired one property in July 2016 and one property in October 2016 that our Adviser elected to receive advisory and administrative fees on).

Advisory and administrative fees may increase in future periods as we acquire additional properties, which will be classified as New Assets.

Corporate general and administrative expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses were $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $1.6 million. The increase between periods primarily relates to approximately $1.6 million of equity-based compensation expense recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2017 related to the grants of restricted stock units to our directors and officers pursuant to our 2016 LTIP (see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements). Subject to the Expense Cap, corporate general and administrative expenses may increase in future periods as we acquire additional properties.

Property general and administrative expenses. Property general and administrative expenses were $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $0.3 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to a $0.2 million, or 18.7%, increase in advertising costs.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization costs were $24.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $17.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $7.0 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to the amortization of intangible lease assets of $5.3 million related to five properties for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.7 million related to three properties for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $4.6 million, as well as the acquisition of six properties subsequent to June 30, 2016. The amortization of intangible lease assets over a six-month period from the date of acquisition is expected to increase the amortization expense during the initial year of operations for each property. The increase between the periods was partially offset by a reduction in depreciation expense related to the disposition of eight properties and classification of five additional properties as held for sale subsequent to June 30, 2016.

Other Income and Expense

Interest expense. Interest expense was $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $10.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $3.3 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to increases in interest on debt and interest expense costs incurred on our interest rate swap derivatives (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Interest Rate Swap Agreements” below), as shown in the table below. The following is a table that details the various costs included in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

Non-GAAP Measurements

Net Operating Income and Same Store Net Operating Income

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure of performance. NOI is used by investors and our management to evaluate and compare the performance of our properties to other comparable properties, to determine trends in earnings and to compute the fair value of our properties as NOI is not affected by (1) the cost of funds, (2) acquisition costs, (3) advisory and administrative fees, (4) the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses as well as gains or losses from the sale of operating real estate assets that are included in net income computed in accordance with GAAP, (5) corporate general and administrative expenses, (6) other gains and losses that are

40


 

specific to us, and (7) expenses that are not reflective of the ongoing operations of the properties or are incurred on behalf of the Company at the property for expenses such as legal, professional and franchise tax fees.

The cost of funds is eliminated from net income (loss) because it is specific to our particular financing capabilities and constraints. The cost of funds is also eliminated because it is dependent on historical interest rates and other costs of capital as well as past decisions made by us regarding the appropriate mix of capital, which may have changed or may change in the future. Acquisition costs and non-operating fees to affiliates are eliminated because they do not reflect continuing operating costs of the property owner. Depreciation and amortization expenses as well as gains or losses from the sale of operating real estate assets are eliminated because they may not accurately represent the actual change in value in our multifamily properties that result from use of the properties or changes in market conditions. While certain aspects of real property do decline in value over time in a manner that is reasonably captured by depreciation and amortization, the value of the properties as a whole have historically increased or decreased as a result of changes in overall economic conditions instead of from actual use of the property or the passage of time. Gains and losses from the sale of real property vary from property to property and are affected by market conditions at the time of sale, which will usually change from period to period. Entity level general and administrative expenses incurred that relate to the properties are eliminated as they are specific to the way in which we have chosen to hold our properties and are the result of our ownership structuring. Also, expenses that are incurred upon acquisition of a property do not reflect continuing operating costs of the property owner. These gains and losses can create distortions when comparing one period to another or when comparing our operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies that have not made similarly timed purchases or sales. We believe that eliminating these costs from net income is useful because the resulting measure captures the actual ongoing revenue generated and actual expenses incurred in operating our properties as well as trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.

However, the usefulness of NOI is limited because it excludes corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs, acquisition costs, certain fees to affiliates such as advisory and administrative fees, depreciation and amortization expense and gains or losses from the sale of properties, and other gains and losses as determined under GAAP, the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which are significant economic costs. NOI may fail to capture significant trends in these components of net income, which further limits its usefulness.

NOI is a measure of the operating performance of our properties but does not measure our performance as a whole. NOI is therefore not a substitute for net income (loss) as computed in accordance with GAAP. This measure should be analyzed in conjunction with net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP and discussions elsewhere in “—Results of Operations” regarding the components of net income (loss) that are eliminated in the calculation of NOI. Other companies may use different methods for calculating NOI or similarly entitled measures and, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies that do not define the measure exactly as we do.

We define Same Store NOI as NOI for our properties that are comparable between periods. We view Same Store NOI as an important measure of the operating performance of our properties because it allows us to compare operating results of properties owned for the entirety of the current and comparable periods and therefore eliminates variations caused by acquisitions or dispositions during the periods.

Same Store Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 and 2016

There are 31 properties encompassing 10,211 units of apartment space in our same store pool for the three months ended June 30, 2017 (our “Same Store” properties). As of June 30, 2017, our Same Store properties were approximately 93.3% leased with a weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied apartment unit of $884. For our Same Store properties, we recorded the following operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016:

Revenues

Rental income. Rental income was $25.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $23.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $1.4 million, or 5.9%. The majority of the increase is primarily related to a 5.2% increase in the weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied apartment unit to $884 as of June 30, 2017 from $840 as of June 30, 2016, partially offset by a 0.4% decrease in occupancy.

Other income. Other income was $3.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $0.5 million, or 11.7%. The majority of the increase is related to a $0.3 million, or 13.6%, increase in utility reimbursements and a $0.1 million, or 8.3%, increase in administrative and application fees.

Expenses

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses were $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $0.4 million, or 4.5%. The majority of the increase is related to a $0.3 million, or 12.1%, increase in repairs and maintenance costs.

Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes and insurance costs were $3.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $3.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $0.5 million, or 16.7%. The majority of the increase is related to a $0.5 million, or 17.5%, increase in property taxes and a $0.1 million, or 12.3%, increase in property liability insurance.

Property management fees. Property management fees were $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was an increase of approximately $0.1 million, or 6.6%. The majority of the increase is related to a $1.4 million, or 5.9%, increase in rental income, and a $0.5 million, or 11.7%, increase in other income, which the fee is primarily based on.

Property general and administrative expenses. Property general and administrative expenses remained flat at $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

FFO, Core FFO and AFFO

We believe that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. We also believe that funds from operations, or FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, core funds from operations, or Core FFO, and adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT.

Since the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation except on land, such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that use historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and impairment charges. We compute FFO attributable to common stockholders in accordance with NAREIT’s definition. Our presentation differs slightly in that we begin with net income (loss) before adjusting for noncontrolling interests and show the noncontrolling interests as an adjustment to arrive at FFO attributable to common stockholders.

Core FFO makes certain adjustments to FFO, which are either not likely to occur on a regular basis or are otherwise not representative of the ongoing operating performance of our portfolio. Core FFO adjusts FFO to remove items such as acquisition expenses, losses on extinguishment of debt and modification costs (includes prepayment penalties incurred and the write-off of unamortized deferred loan costs related to the early retirement of debt and costs incurred in connection with a debt modification that are expensed), the amortization of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with obtaining short-term debt financing, the ineffective portion of fair value adjustments on our interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, and the noncontrolling interests related to these items. We believe Core FFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and is useful in comparing our operating performance with other REITs that are not as involved in the aforementioned activities.

AFFO makes certain adjustments to Core FFO in order to arrive at a more refined measure of the operating performance of our portfolio. There is no industry standard definition of AFFO and practice is divergent across the industry. AFFO adjusts Core FFO to remove items such as equity-based compensation expense and the amortization of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with obtaining long-term debt financing, and the noncontrolling interests related to these items. We believe AFFO is useful to investors as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and is useful in comparing our operating performance with other REITs that are not as involved in the aforementioned activities.

We believe that the use of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among investors and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. While FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income (loss) as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO, Core FFO and AFFO reported by other REITs that do not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition or define Core FFO or AFFO differently than we do.

The three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2016

FFO was $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $7.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was a decrease of approximately $5.5 million. The change in our FFO between periods primarily relates to increases in total property operating expenses of approximately $1.0 million, loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs of approximately $4.0 million and corporate general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.0 million, and was partially offset by an increase in total revenues of approximately $1.6 million and adjustments for amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. The increase in loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs primarily relates to $2.2 million of debt modification costs incurred, which were expensed, and $1.7 million of prepayment penalties incurred in connection with the Freddie Refinance. The increase in corporate general and administrative expenses primarily relates to $1.0 million of equity-based compensation expense we recognized during the period in 2017.

47


 

Core FFO was $6.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $7.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was a decrease of approximately $1.9 million. The change in our Core FFO between periods primarily relates to a decrease in FFO, partially offset by a $4.0 million increase in loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs.

AFFO was $7.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $8.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, which was a decrease of approximately $0.9 million. The change in our AFFO between periods primarily relates to a decrease in Core FFO, partially offset by a $1.0 million increase in equity-based compensation expense.

The six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2016

FFO was $9.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $15.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was a decrease of approximately $5.1 million. The change in our FFO between periods primarily relates to increases in total property operating expenses of approximately $2.5 million, loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs of approximately $4.0 million and corporate general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.6 million, and was partially offset by an increase in total revenues of approximately $5.1 million and adjustments for amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests. The increase in loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs primarily relates to $2.2 million of debt modification costs incurred, which were expensed, and $1.7 million of prepayment penalties incurred in connection with the Freddie Refinance. The increase in corporate general and administrative expenses primarily relates to $1.6 million of equity-based compensation expense we recognized during the period in 2017.

Core FFO was $14.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $16.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was a decrease of approximately $2.4 million. The change in our Core FFO between periods primarily relates to a decrease in FFO, partially offset by a $4.0 million increase in loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs.

AFFO was $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, which was a decrease of approximately $0.7 million. The change in our AFFO between periods primarily relates to a decrease in Core FFO, partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in equity-based compensation expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for debt maturities, operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our multifamily properties, including:

 

the repayment of the 2017 Bridge Facility if we are unable to extend or refinance the bridge facility;

 

capital expenditures to continue our value-add program and to improve the quality and performance of our multifamily properties;

 

interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness (see “—Obligations and Commitments” below);

 

recurring maintenance necessary to maintain our multifamily properties;

 

distributions necessary to qualify for taxation as a REIT;

 

advisory fees payable to our Adviser;

 

administrative fees payable to our Adviser;

 

general and administrative expenses;

 

reimbursements to our Adviser; and

 

property management fees payable to BH.

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations and existing cash balances. We intend on paying the entire principal balance of the 2017 Bridge Facility with proceeds from the sales of properties classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2017 or cash on hand. As of June 30, 2017, we had reserved approximately $8.8 million for our planned capital expenditures to implement our value-add program.

48


 

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the costs of acquiring additional multifamily properties, renovations and other capital expenditures to improve our multifamily properties and scheduled debt payments and distributions. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, which may include a revolving credit facility and future debt or equity issuances, existing working capital, net cash provided by operations, long-term mortgage indebtedness and other secured and unsecured borrowings, and property dispositions. However, there are a number of factors that may have a material adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including the state of overall equity and credit markets, our degree of leverage, our unencumbered asset base and borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders (including as a result of any failure to comply with financial covenants in our existing and future indebtedness), general market conditions for REITs, our operating performance and liquidity, market perceptions about us and restrictions on sales under the Code. The success of our business strategy will depend, in part, on our ability to access these various capital sources.

In addition to our value-add program, our multifamily properties will require periodic capital expenditures and renovation to remain competitive. Also, acquisitions, redevelopments, or expansions of our multifamily properties will require significant capital outlays. Long-term, we may not be able to fund such capital improvements solely from net cash provided by operations because we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deductions for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, and we are subject to tax on any retained income and gains. As a result, our ability to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions, or redevelopment through retained earnings long-term is limited. Consequently, we expect to rely heavily upon the availability of debt or equity capital for these purposes. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital on favorable terms, or at all, our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

We believe that our available cash, expected operating cash flows, and potential debt or equity financings will provide sufficient funds for our operations, anticipated scheduled debt service payments and dividend requirements for the twelve-month period following June 30, 2017.

Cash flows from operating activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash provided by operating activities was $14.2 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $16.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The change in cash flows from operating activities was mainly due to changes in operating assets and liabilities and increases in prepayment penalties and debt modification expenses paid and net cash paid for derivative settlements, partially offset by an increase in NOI.

Cash flows from investing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash used in investing activities was $67.5 million compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $51.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The change in cash flows from investing activities was mainly due to the acquisition of two properties for a combined purchase price of approximately $138.0 million during the period in 2017, compared to no acquisitions during the period in 2016. The change in cash flows from investing activities was partially offset by an increase in net proceeds from sales of real estate; we sold four properties for net proceeds of approximately $82.7 million during the period in 2017, compared to selling three properties for net proceeds of approximately $63.2 million during the period in 2016.

Cash flows from financing activities. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, net cash provided by financing activities was $53.7 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $67.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016. The change in cash flows from financing activities was mainly due to a net increase in debt proceeds of approximately $174.3 million, partially offset by the $51.7 million purchase of joint venture interests from noncontrolling interest holders during the period in 2017. The proceeds from the net increase in debt proceeds during the period in 2017 were primarily used to acquire two properties for a combined purchase price of approximately $138.0 million and fund a portion of the BH Buyout.

Debt

Mortgage Indebtedness

As of June 30, 2017, our subsidiaries had aggregate outstanding mortgage indebtedness to third parties of approximately $797.7 million at a weighted average interest rate of 3.04% and an adjusted weighted average interest rate of 3.06%. For purposes of calculating the adjusted weighted average interest rate of our outstanding mortgage indebtedness, we have included the weighted average fixed rate of 1.2582% on our combined $550.0 million notional amount of interest rate swap agreements that were effective as of June 30, 2017, which effectively fix the interest rate on $550.0 million of our floating rate mortgage indebtedness. For additional information regarding our mortgage indebtedness and interest rate swap agreements, see Notes 5 and 6 to our consolidated financial statements.

We have entered into and expect to continue to enter into interest rate swap and cap agreements with various third parties to fix or cap the floating interest rates on a majority of our outstanding floating rate mortgage indebtedness. The interest rate swap agreements generally have a term of four to five years and effectively establish a fixed interest rate on debt on the underlying notional amounts. The interest rate swap agreements involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of June 30, 2017, interest rate swap agreements effectively covered $550.0 million of our $737.9 million of total outstanding floating rate mortgage indebtedness.

The interest rate cap agreements generally have a term of three to four years and cover the outstanding principal amount of the underlying indebtedness. Under the interest rate cap agreements, we pay a fixed fee in exchange for the counterparty to pay any interest above a maximum rate. As of June 30, 2017, interest rate cap agreements covered $427.2 million of our $737.9 million of total outstanding floating rate mortgage indebtedness. These interest rate cap agreements effectively cap one-month LIBOR on $427.2 million of our floating rate mortgage indebtedness at a weighted average rate of 4.11%.

On June 30, 2017, we entered into 22 first mortgages, with a combined principal amount of $502.1 million, on certain of our properties, effectively replacing the $168.4 million of existing mortgage debt outstanding on nine properties and the $300.0 million outstanding under a credit facility (the “$300 Million Credit Facility”), which retired the $300 Million Credit Facility. The refinancing of the existing mortgage debt incurred approximately $1.7 million of prepayment penalties, which is included in loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”), who was the lender on the existing mortgage debt and the $300 Million Credit Facility, also originated the 22 new first mortgages (the “Freddie Refinance”). In accordance with FASB ASC 470-50, Debt – Modifications and Extinguishments, we accounted for the refinancing as a modification of a debt instrument. As such, the existing $4.9 million of net deferred financing costs related to the prior mortgage debt and credit facility debt is included with the approximately $4.5 million of deferred financing costs incurred in connection with the modification. Such costs are recorded as a reduction from mortgages payable on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2017 and are amortized over the terms of the new mortgage debt. Additionally, we incurred approximately $2.2 million of debt modification costs in connection with the Freddie Refinance that were not capitalized as deferred financing costs. Such costs are recorded in loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. We used approximately $16.3 million of proceeds from the Freddie Refinance to fund a portion of the BH Buyout.

The following nine properties had existing mortgage debt that was refinanced: The Summit at Sabal Park, Courtney Cove, The Preserve at Terrell Mill, The Ashlar, Heatherstone, Versailles, Seasons 704 Apartments, Madera Point and The Pointe at the Foothills. The following twelve properties, which were refinanced as described above, were previously cross-collateralized as security for the $300 Million Credit Facility: Arbors on Forest Ridge, Cutter’s Point, Eagle Crest, Silverbrook, Timberglen, Edgewater at Sandy Springs, Beechwood Terrace, Willow Grove, Woodbridge, Venue at 8651, Old Farm and Stone Creek at Old Farm. The Colonnade, which obtained a first mortgage as described above, was not previously encumbered by mortgage debt or credit facility debt.

For additional information regarding the Freddie Refinance and the BH Buyout, see Notes 2 and 5 to our consolidated financial statements

We intend to invest in additional multifamily properties as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of equity and debt financing are available. We expect that future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly acquired properties, will depend on and will be financed by, in whole or in part, our existing cash, future borrowings and the proceeds from additional issuances of common stock or other securities or property dispositions. In addition, we may seek financing from U.S. government agencies, including through Freddie Mac, the Federal National Mortgage Association, and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, in appropriate circumstances in connection with the acquisition or refinancing of existing mortgage loans.

50


 

Although we expect to be subject to restrictions on our ability to incur indebtedness, we expect that we will be able to refinance existing indebtedness or incur additional indebtedness for acquisitions or other purposes, if needed. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness, incur additional indebtedness or access additional sources of capital, such as by issuing common stock or other debt or equity securities, on terms that are acceptable to us or at all.

Furthermore, following the completion of our value-add and capital expenditures programs and depending on the interest rate environment at the applicable time, we may seek to refinance our floating rate debt into longer-term fixed rate debt at lower leverage levels.

2017 Bridge Facility

On June 30, 2017, we, through our OP, entered into a $65.9 million bridge facility (the “2017 Bridge Facility”) with KeyBank. We drew $44.5 million to fund a portion of the purchase price of Rockledge Apartments and $21.4 million to fund a portion of the BH Buyout. The 2017 Bridge Facility is a full-term, interest-only facility with a four-month term. The 2017 Bridge Facility is guaranteed by us. Interest accrues on the 2017 Bridge Facility at an interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus 3.75%. We intend on paying the entire principal balance of the 2017 Bridge Facility with proceeds from the sales of properties classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2017 or cash on hand. For more information on these transactions, see Notes 2, 4 and 5 to our consolidated financial statements.

In July 2017, we used proceeds from the sale of Regatta Bay to pay down $11.3 million on the 2017 Bridge Facility, bringing the outstanding principal balance to $54.6 million as of August 1, 2017 (see Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements).

$30 Million Credit Facility

On December 29, 2016, we, through our OP, entered into a $30.0 million credit facility (the “$30 Million Credit Facility”) and immediately drew $15.0 million to fund a portion of the purchase price of Old Farm and Stone Creek at Old Farm. On February 1, 2017, we drew $14.0 million and used $12.0 million to fund a portion of the purchase price of Hollister Place and $2.0 million to fund value-add renovations at our properties. In April 2017, we used cash on hand plus our share of the proceeds, net of distributions to noncontrolling interests, from four properties we sold to pay down $10.0 million on the $30 Million Credit Facility. On June 30, 2017, we drew $11.0 million to fund a portion of the BH Buyout. The $30 Million Credit Facility is a full-term, interest-only facility with an initial term of 24 months and one 12-month extension option and is guaranteed by our OP. For more information on these transactions, see Notes 2, 4 and 5 to our consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2017, we had $30.0 million outstanding under our $30 Million Credit Facility at an interest rate of 5.22%.

$300 Million Credit Facility

On June 6, 2016, we, through certain of our subsidiaries, entered into a $200.0 million credit facility, which was expanded to $300.0 million (the “$300 Million Credit Facility”) during the fourth quarter of 2016 to acquire three properties. The $300 Million Credit Facility was cross-collateralized by the following 12 properties: Arbors on Forest Ridge, Cutter’s Point, Eagle Crest, Silverbrook, Timberglen, Edgewater at Sandy Springs, Beechwood Terrace, Willow Grove, Woodbridge, Venue at 8651, Old Farm and Stone Creek at Old Farm.

On June 30, 2017, in connection with the Freddie Refinance, we repaid and retired the $300 Million Credit Facility. The refinancing of this existing credit facility debt did not incur prepayment penalties. For more information regarding these transactions, see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements.

2016 Bridge Facility

On December 29, 2016, we, through our OP, entered into a $30.0 million bridge facility (the “2016 Bridge Facility”) with KeyBank and drew $30.0 million to fund a portion of the purchase price of Old Farm and Stone Creek at Old Farm. In April 2017, we paid down the entire $30.0 million of principal on the 2016 Bridge Facility, which was funded with our share of the proceeds, net of distributions to noncontrolling interests, from properties we sold in April 2017. The 2016 Bridge Facility was retired on April 28, 2017. For more information on these transactions, see Notes 4 and 5 to our consolidated financial statements.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

In order to fix a portion of, and mitigate the risk associated with, our floating rate indebtedness (without incurring substantial prepayment penalties or defeasance costs typically associated with fixed rate indebtedness when repaid early or refinanced), we, through our OP, have entered into seven interest rate swap transactions with KeyBank, or the Counterparty, with a combined notional amount of $650.0 million, $550.0 million of which was effective as of June 30, 2017. As of June 30, 2017, the interest rate swaps we have entered into effectively replace the floating interest rate (one-month LIBOR) with respect to $650.0 million of principal balance

51


 

with a weighted average fixed rate of 1.3388%. During the term of these interest rate swap agreements, we are required to make monthly fixed rate payments of 1.3388%, on a weighted average basis, on the notional amounts, while the Counterparty is obligated to make monthly floating rate payments based on one-month LIBOR to us referencing the same notional amounts. We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. For additional information regarding the interest rate swaps, see Notes 5 and 6 to our consolidated financial statements.

Interest expense obligations includes the impact of expected settlements on interest rate swaps which have been entered into in order to fix the interest rate on the hedged portion of our floating rate debt obligations. As of June 30, 2017, we had entered into seven interest rate swap transactions with a combined notional amount of $650.0 million. We have allocated the total impact of expected settlements on the $650.0 million notional amount of interest rate swaps to ‘Operating Properties Mortgage Notes.’ We used one-month LIBOR as of June 30, 2017 to determine our expected settlements through the terms of the interest rate swaps.

Capital Expenditures and Value-Add Program

We anticipate incurring average annual repairs and maintenance expense of $575-$725 per apartment unit in connection with the ongoing operations of our business. These expenditures are expensed as incurred. In addition, we reserve, on average, approximately $250 to $350 per apartment unit for non-recurring capital expenditures and/or lender required replacement reserves. When incurred, these expenditures are either capitalized or expensed, in accordance with GAAP, depending on the type of the expenditure. Although we will continuously monitor the adequacy of this average, we believe these figures to be sufficient to maintain the properties at a high level in the markets in which we operate. A majority of the properties in our Portfolio were underwritten and acquired with the premise that we would invest $4,000-$10,000 per unit in the first 36 months of ownership, in an effort to add value to the asset’s exterior and interiors. In most cases, we reserved cash at closing to fund these planned capital expenditures and value-add improvements. As of June 30, 2017, we had reserved approximately $8.8 million for our planned capital expenditures and other expenses to implement our value-add program, which will complete approximately 1,400 planned interior rehabs. The following table sets forth a summary of our capital expenditures related to our value-add program for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

Includes total capital expenditures during the period on completed and in-progress interior rehabs. For the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we completed full and partial interior rehabs on 401 and 550 units, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, we completed full and partial interior rehabs on 831 and 937 units, respectively.

Emerging Growth Company

Section 107 of the JOBS Act provides that an emerging growth company can take advantage of the extended transition period provided in Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act, for complying with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. In other words, an emerging growth company can delay the adoption of certain accounting standards until those standards would otherwise apply to private companies. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates for such new or revised standards. We may elect to comply with public company effective dates at any time, and such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.

We could remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (1) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of becoming a public company, (2) the last day of the first fiscal year in which we have total annual gross revenue of $1.07 billion or more, (3) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act (which would occur if the market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million, measured as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, and we have been publicly reporting for at least 12 months) or (4) the date on which we have, during the preceding three year period, issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt.

Income Taxes

We anticipate that we will continue to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we intend to continue to be organized and to operate in a manner that will permit us to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85% of our ordinary income, (2) 95% of our capital gain net income and (3) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. Taxable income from certain non-REIT activities is managed through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) and is subject to applicable federal, state, and local income and margin taxes. We had no significant taxes associated with our TRS for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates, and dividends paid to our stockholders would not be deductible by us in computing taxable income. Any resulting corporate liability could be substantial and could materially and adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. Unless we were entitled to relief under certain Code provisions, we also would be disqualified from re-electing to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we failed to qualify to be taxed as a REIT.

53


 

We evaluate the accounting and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” (greater than 50 percent probability) of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Our management is required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which include federal and certain states. We have no examinations in progress and none are expected at this time.

We recognize our tax positions and evaluate them using a two-step process. First, we determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. We will determine the amount of benefit to recognize and record the amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

We had no material unrecognized tax benefit or expense, accrued interest or penalties as of June 30, 2017. Our subsidiaries and we are subject to federal income tax as well as income tax of various state and local jurisdictions. The 2016 and 2015 tax years remain open to examination by tax jurisdictions to which our subsidiaries and we are subject. When applicable, we recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Dividends

We intend to make regular quarterly dividend payments to holders of our common stock. U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. As a REIT, we will be subject to federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85% of our ordinary income, (2) 95% of our capital gain net income and (3) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. We intend to make regular quarterly dividend payments of all or substantially all of our taxable income to holders of our common stock out of assets legally available for this purpose, if and to the extent authorized by our Board. Before we make any dividend payments, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, we must first meet both our operating requirements and debt service on our debt payable. If our cash available for distribution is less than our taxable income, we could be required to sell assets, borrow funds or raise additional capital to make cash dividends or we may make a portion of the required dividend in the form of a taxable distribution of stock or debt securities.

We will make dividend payments based on our estimate of taxable earnings per share of common stock, but not earnings calculated pursuant to GAAP. Our dividends and taxable income and GAAP earnings will typically differ due to items such as depreciation and amortization, fair value adjustments, differences in premium amortization and discount accretion, and non-deductible general and administrative expenses. Our quarterly dividends per share may be substantially different than our quarterly taxable earnings and GAAP earnings per share. Our Board declared our second quarterly dividend of 2017 of $0.22 per share on May 1, 2017, which was paid on June 30, 2017 and funded out of cash flows from operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Significant Accounting Policies and Critical Accounting Estimates

Our significant accounting policies are those having the most impact on the reporting of our financial condition and results and those requiring significant judgments and estimates. These policies include those related to: (1) basis of accounting, (2) real estate investments, (3) held for sale properties, (4) impairment, (5) loss on extinguishment of debt and modification costs, (6) noncontrolling interests, (7) accounting for joint ventures and (8) fair value measurements.

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to the consolidated financial statements.

Inflation

The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past several years due to a relatively low inflation rate. The majority of our lease terms are for a period of one year or less and reset to market if renewed. The majority of our leases also contain protection provisions applicable to reimbursement billings for utilities. Should inflation return, due to the short-term nature of our leases, we do not believe our results will be materially affected.

54


 

Inflation may also affect the overall cost of debt, as the implied cost of capital increases. Currently, interest rates are less than historical averages. However, if the Federal Reserve institutes new monetary policies, tightening credit in response to or in anticipation of inflation concerns, interest rates could rise. We intend to mitigate these risks through long-term fixed interest rate loans and interest rate hedges, which to date have included interest rate cap and interest rate swap agreements.

REIT Tax Election

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and expect to continue to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Code, to our stockholders. Taxable income from certain non-REIT activities is managed through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) and is subject to applicable federal, state, and local income and margin taxes. We had no significant taxes associated with our TRS for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. We believe we qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code, and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of assets and liabilities that results from a change in market conditions. Our primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk with respect to our indebtedness. As of June 30, 2017, we had total indebtedness of $893.6 million at a weighted average interest rate of 3.25%, of which $833.7 million was debt with a floating interest rate. The interest rate swap agreements we have entered into effectively fix the interest rate on $650.0 million, or 78%, of our $833.7 million of debt with a floating interest rate (see below). As of June 30, 2017, the adjusted weighted average interest rate of our total indebtedness was 3.34%. For purposes of calculating the adjusted weighted average interest rate of the total indebtedness, we have included the weighted average fixed rate of 1.3388% on the $650.0 million notional amount of interest rate swap agreements that we have entered into as of June 30, 2017, which effectively fix the interest rate on $650.0 million of our floating rate indebtedness.

An increase in interest rates could make the financing of any acquisition by us costlier. Rising interest rates could also limit our ability to refinance our debt when it matures or cause us to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing and increase interest expense on refinanced indebtedness. We may manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings by means of interest rate cap and interest rate swap agreements. As of June 30, 2017, the interest rate cap agreements we have entered into effectively cap one-month LIBOR on $427.2 million of our floating rate mortgage indebtedness at a weighted average rate of 4.11% for the term of the agreements, which is generally 3-4 years. We also expect to manage our exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and floating rates for our indebtedness.

In order to fix a portion of, and mitigate the risk associated with, our floating rate indebtedness (without incurring substantial prepayment penalties or defeasance costs typically associated with fixed rate indebtedness when repaid early or refinanced), we, through our OP, have entered into seven interest rate swap transactions with KeyBank (the “Counterparty”) with a combined notional amount of $650.0 million. The interest rate swaps we have entered into effectively replace the floating interest rate (one-month LIBOR) with respect to that amount with a weighted average fixed rate of 1.3388%. During the term of these interest rate swap agreements, we are required to make monthly fixed rate payments of 1.3388%, on a weighted average basis, on the notional amounts, while the Counterparty is obligated to make monthly floating rate payments based on one-month LIBOR to us referencing the same notional amounts. We have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

Until our interest rates reach the caps provided by our interest rate cap agreements, each quarter point change in LIBOR would result in an approximate increase to annual interest expense costs on our floating rate indebtedness, reduced by any payments due from the Counterparty under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements we have entered into as of June 30, 2017, of the amounts illustrated in the table below for our indebtedness as of June 30, 2017 (in thousands):

There is no assurance that we would realize such expense as such changes in interest rates could alter our liability positions or strategies in response to such changes.

55


 

We may also be exposed to credit risk in the derivative financial instruments we use. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative financial instruments. If the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative financial instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of June 30, 2017, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2017, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2017 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Issuance of OP Units

On August 1, 2017, the Company issued $2.0 million of OP Units, or 73,233 OP Units, to BH Equity in connection with the BH Buyout.

Amendment to the Partnership Agreement of the OP

On August 1, 2017, the Company and the OP amended the partnership agreement of the OP in connection with the issuance of OP units to BH Equity. Pursuant to the Amendment, limited partners holding OP units will have the right to cause the OP to redeem their units for cash or, at the Company’s election, shares of the Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, as provided in the Amendment, provided that the units have been outstanding for at least one year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a limited partner will not be entitled to exercise its redemption right to the extent the issuance of the Company’s common stock to the redeeming limited partner would (1) be prohibited, as determined in the Company’s sole discretion, under the Company’s charter or (2) cause the acquisition of common stock by such redeeming limited partner to be "integrated" with any other distribution of the Company’s common stock for purposes of complying with the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
