EXPLANATORY NOTE

        This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 of American Homes 4 Rent and American Homes 4 Rent, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “AH4R” or the “General Partner” mean American Homes 4 Rent, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and references to the “Operating Partnership,” our “operating partnership” or the “OP” mean American Homes 4 Rent, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, and its subsidiaries taken as a whole. References to the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” mean collectively AH4R, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by AH4R and/or the Operating Partnership.

        AH4R is the general partner of, and as of March 31, 2020 owned approximately 85.2% of the common partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership. The remaining 14.8% of the common partnership interest was owned by limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, AH4R has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management. The Company’s management operates AH4R and the Operating Partnership as one business, and the management of AH4R consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership.

        The Company believes that combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

enhances investors’ understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and

creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

        The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between AH4R and the Operating Partnership in the context of how AH4R and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. AH4R’s primary function is acting as the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The only material asset of AH4R is its partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. As a result, AH4R generally does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. AH4R itself is not directly obligated under any indebtedness, but guarantees some of the debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership owns substantially all of the assets of the Company, including the Company’s ownership interests in its joint ventures, either directly or through its subsidiaries, conducts the operations of the Company’s business and is structured as a limited partnership with no publicly traded equity. One difference between the Company and the Operating Partnership is $25.7 million of asset-backed securitization certificates issued by the Operating Partnership and purchased by AH4R. The asset-backed securitization certificates are recorded as an asset-backed securitization certificates receivable by the Company and as an amount due from affiliates by the Operating Partnership. AH4R contributes all net proceeds from its various equity offerings to the Operating Partnership. In return for those contributions, AH4R receives Operating Partnership units (“OP units”) equal to the number of shares it has issued in the equity offering. Based on the terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended, OP units can be exchanged for shares on a one-for-one basis. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by AH4R, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, by the Operating Partnership’s incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of OP units.

        Shareholders’ equity, partners’ capital and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are accounted for as partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in the Company’s financial statements. The differences between shareholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from differences in the equity and capital issued at the Company and Operating Partnership levels.

        To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides separate consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership; a single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes separate discussions of each entity’s debt, noncontrolling interests and shareholders’ equity or partners’ capital, as applicable; and a combined Part I, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” section that includes discrete information related to each entity.

        This report also includes separate Part I, “Item 4. Controls and Procedures” sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been



made and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

        In order to highlight the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, the separate sections in this report for the Company and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to the Company and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that directly or indirectly enters into contracts and joint ventures and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the Company is one business and the Company operates that business through the Operating Partnership. The separate discussions of the Company and the Operating Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
 
Various statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of specific projects and our future operations, revenues, income and capital spending. Our forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “plan,” “goal” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. While our management considers these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control.

Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is the potential adverse effect of the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, on the financial condition, operating results and cash flows of the Company, our tenants, the real estate market, the global economy and the financial markets. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts us and our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.

These and other important factors, including those discussed or incorporated by reference under Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors,” Part I, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this report and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.
 
While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, they are not guarantees of future performance, and you should not unduly rely on them. The forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q speak only as of the date of this report. We are not obligated to update or revise these statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, unless required by applicable law.

American Homes 4 Rent, L.P.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1. Organization and Operations

        American Homes 4 Rent (“AH4R” or “General Partner”) is a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed on October 19, 2012 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, renovating, leasing and operating single-family homes as rental properties. American Homes 4 Rent, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership formed on October 22, 2012, and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership,” our “operating partnership” or the “OP”) is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of our business and owns, directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets. References to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” mean collectively AH4R, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by AH4R and/or the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2020, the Company held 52,776 single-family properties in 22 states, including 960 properties classified as held for sale.

        AH4R is the general partner of, and as of March 31, 2020 owned approximately 85.2% of the common partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership. The remaining 14.8% of the common partnership interest was owned by limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, AH4R has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management. The Company’s management operates AH4R and the Operating Partnership as one business, and the management of AH4R consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. AH4R’s primary function is acting as the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The only material asset of AH4R is its partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. As a result, AH4R generally does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. AH4R itself is not directly obligated under any indebtedness, but guarantees some of the debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership owns substantially all of the assets of the Company, including the Company’s ownership interests in its joint ventures, either directly or through its subsidiaries, conducts the operations of the Company’s business and is structured as a limited partnership with no publicly traded equity. One difference between the Company and the Operating Partnership is $25.7 million of asset-backed securitization certificates issued by the Operating Partnership and purchased by AH4R. The asset-backed securitization certificates are recorded as an asset-backed securitization certificates receivable by the Company and as an amount due from affiliates by the Operating Partnership. AH4R contributes all net proceeds from its various equity offerings to the Operating Partnership. In return for those contributions, AH4R receives Operating Partnership units (“OP units”) equal to the number of shares it has issued in the equity offering. Based on the terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended, OP units can be exchanged for shares on a one-for-one basis. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by AH4R, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, by the Operating Partnership’s incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of OP units.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
        The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of AH4R, the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates real estate partnerships and other entities that are not variable interest entities (“VIEs”) when it owns, directly or indirectly, a majority interest in the entity or is otherwise able to control the entity. The Company consolidates VIEs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) No. 810, Consolidation, if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as determined by its power to direct the VIE’s activities and the obligation to absorb its losses or the right to receive its benefits, which are potentially significant to the VIE. Entities for which the Company owns an interest, but does not consolidate, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as an investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary and are included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

        The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Any references in this report to the number of properties is outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight

15


Board. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

        Effective March 31, 2020, as a result of the expected growth in our joint venture activities, the investments in unconsolidated joint ventures balance has been reclassified into a separate balance sheet line item. This resulted in the reclassification of $67.9 million as of December 31, 2019, which was previously included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets, into investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain other amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior periods have also been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted January 1, 2020
        
        In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, to amend the accounting for credit losses for certain financial instruments by requiring companies to recognize an estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance in order to recognize such losses more timely than under previous guidance that had allowed companies to wait until it was probable such losses had been incurred. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Topic 326. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which provides further clarification around some of the amendments in ASU 2016-13. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326) Targeted Transition Relief, which provides entities that have certain instruments within the scope of Topic 326 with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis upon adoption of Topic 326. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-11, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, which provides further clarification around some of the amendments in ASU 2016-13. The guidance is effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. An entity will apply the amendments in these ASUs through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective (that is, a modified-retrospective approach). A prospective transition approach is required for debt securities for which an other-than-temporary impairment had been recognized before the effective date. The effect of a prospective transition approach is to maintain the same amortized cost basis before and after the effective date of the guidance. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements (see Note 6. Escrow Deposits, Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets).

        In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which eliminates, adds and modifies certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. Companies will no longer be required to disclose the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Companies will also be required to disclose the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The amendments on the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

        In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract, which aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal use software license). Capitalized implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement, beginning when the module or component of the hosting arrangement is ready for its intended use. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and for interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

16



        In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides optional guidance for a limited period of time to ease the potential burden in accounting for (or recognizing the effects of) reference rate reform on financial reporting. The amendments in this ASU apply only to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform but do not apply to contract modifications made or hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The amendments in this ASU allow companies to (i) account for modifications to contracts within the scope of ASC 310, Receivables, and ASC 470, Debt, prospectively by adjusting the effective interest rate and (ii) account for modifications to contracts within the scope of ASC 842, Leases, as a continuation of existing lease agreements. The guidance also provides optional expedients for modifications to contracts within the scope of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The guidance is effective immediately, and entities may elect to apply the guidance as of January 1, 2020 or the beginning of a subsequent interim period, or prospectively from a date beginning January 1, 2020 or in a subsequent interim period up to the date the financial statements are available to be issued. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

        In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-01, Investments—Equity Securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), which clarifies the interaction between ASC Topics 321, 323 and 815. ASC 321, Investments—Equity Securities, provides a company with a measurement alternative to measure certain equity securities without a readily determinable fair value at cost, minus impairment, if any. If the company then identifies observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer, it should measure the equity security at fair value as of the date that the observable transaction occurred. The amendments in this ASU clarify that a company should consider observable transactions that require it to either apply or discontinue the equity method of accounting for the purposes of applying the measurement alternative in accordance with ASC 321 immediately before applying or upon discontinuing the equity method. The amendments in this ASU also clarify the accounting treatment of forward contracts and purchased options for securities that will be accounted for under the equity method of accounting upon settlement or exercise. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, and for interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively by applying the amendments at the beginning of the interim period that includes the adoption date. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on its financial statements.

Note 3. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

        Restricted cash primarily consists of funds held related to resident security deposits, cash reserves in accordance with certain loan agreements and funds held in the custody of our transfer agent for the payment of distributions. Funds held related to resident security deposits are restricted during the term of the related lease agreement, which is generally one year. Cash reserved in connection with lender requirements is restricted during the term of the related debt instrument.

        The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash per the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows to the corresponding financial statement line items in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

Notes Receivable, Net

        The Company has obtained promissory notes in connection with two bulk dispositions of our single-family properties, which are secured by first priority mortgages on the disposed homes and contain certain covenants. The secured promissory notes require monthly or quarterly interest payments with the full principal due at maturity.

        Notes receivable are presented net of discounts, and interest income from the notes, including amortization of discounts, is presented in other revenues within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 (see Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies), we are required to estimate and recognize lifetime expected losses, rather than incurred losses, on these notes receivable, which results in the earlier recognition of credit losses even if the expected risk of credit loss is remote. An allowance for expected credit losses of $1.5 million was established with a cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated deficit in the condensed consolidated statements of equity. Notes receivable are presented net of the allowance for expected credit losses, which the Company estimates on a quarterly basis based on (i) credit quality indicators such as the borrower’s historical performance, including the borrower’s financial results and satisfaction of scheduled payments, (ii) current conditions, including macroeconomic conditions and other conditions affecting the borrower, and (iii) other reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. As part of the monitoring process, we may meet with a borrower’s management to better understand such borrower’s

19


financial performance and its future plans on an as-needed basis. A note receivable will be categorized as non-performing if a borrower experiences financial difficulty and has failed to make scheduled payments. Changes to the allowance for expected credit losses are recognized in other expenses within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 7. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
 
        In February 2020, the Operating Partnership entered into a $253.1 million strategic joint venture with institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management focused on constructing and operating newly built rental homes. The Company holds a 20% ownership interest in the joint venture, which has an evergreen term. Additionally, the Company will earn fees for development and management services provided to the joint venture and have an opportunity to earn a promoted interest after construction and initial operation of the joint venture’s properties. In evaluating the Company’s 20% ownership interest in the joint venture, we concluded that the joint venture is not a variable interest entity after applying the variable interest model and, therefore, we account for our interest in the joint venture as an investment in an unconsolidated subsidiary after applying the voting interest model using the equity method of accounting.

        Subsequent to March 31, 2020, as contemplated by the joint venture agreement, the parties entered into an amended agreement to increase the size of the partnership to $625.0 million while the other principal terms of the agreement remain the same. The changes to the agreement do not impact the accounting treatment of the joint venture.

        The Company provides property management and development services to certain unconsolidated joint ventures, which are considered to be related parties. Management fee income from these joint ventures was $0.9 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which were included in other revenues within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Note 8. Debt

(5)The revolving credit facility provides for a borrowing capacity of up to $800.0 million and the Company had approximately $3.7 million and $6.2 million committed to outstanding letters of credit that reduced our borrowing capacity as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. The revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.20% as of March 31, 2020. LIBOR is expected to be discontinued after 2021 and the Company expects to replace the contractual reference rate with an appropriate alternative. The Company does not expect this modification to have a material impact on its financial statements.
(6)Deferred financing costs relate to our asset-backed securitizations and unsecured senior notes. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $1.5 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, which was included in gross interest, prior to interest capitalization.

Note 10. Shareholders’ Equity / Partners’ Capital

        When the Company issues common or preferred shares, the Operating Partnership issues an equivalent number of units of partnership interest of a corresponding class to AH4R, with the Operating Partnership receiving the net proceeds from the share issuances.

At-the-Market Common Share Offering Program
        The Company established an at-the-market common share offering program under which we can issue Class A common shares from time to time through various sales agents up to an aggregate of $500.0 million (the “At-the-Market Program”). The Company intends to use any net proceeds from the At-the-Market Program to repay borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, to acquire and renovate single-family properties and for related activities in accordance with the Company’s business strategy, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The At-the-Market Program may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. As of March 31, 2020, no shares have been issued under the At-the-Market Program and $500.0 million remained available for future share issuances.


21


Share Repurchase Program

        The Company’s board of trustees authorized the establishment of our share repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of our outstanding Class A common shares and up to $250.0 million of our outstanding preferred shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The program does not have an expiration date, but may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. All repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an authorized and unissued status. The Operating Partnership funds the repurchases and constructively retires an equivalent number of corresponding Class A units. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we did not repurchase and retire any of our shares. As of March 31, 2020, we had a remaining repurchase authorization of up to $265.1 million of our outstanding Class A common shares and up to $250.0 million of our outstanding preferred shares under the program.

Note 13. Fair Value
 
        The carrying amount of rents and other receivables, restricted cash, escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these amounts.

        Our asset-backed securitizations and revolving credit facility are financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as their fair values were estimated using unobservable inputs. We estimated the fair values of the asset-backed securitizations by modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instruments and discounting them back to their present values using estimates of current market rates. As our revolving credit facility bears interest at a floating rate based on an index plus a spread (see Note 8. Debt), management believes that the carrying value (excluding deferred financing costs) of the revolving credit facility reasonably approximates fair value. Our unsecured senior notes are also financial instruments which are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as their fair values were estimated using observable inputs based on the market value of the last trade at the end of the period.

        The following table displays the carrying values and fair values of our debt instruments as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (in thousands):

Note 16. Subsequent Events

COVID-19 Pandemic

        Subsequent to March 31, 2020, the global economy has continued to be severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which we anticipate will negatively impact our business and results of operations for our second fiscal quarter and likely beyond. The extent to which our operations will be impacted will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic and actions by government authorities to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among other things.

Subsequent Acquisitions

        From April 1, 2020 through April 30, 2020, the Company added 158 properties to its portfolio for a total cost of approximately $39.2 million, which included 143 homes developed through our new construction channel.

Subsequent Dispositions

        From April 1, 2020 through April 30, 2020, the Company disposed of 60 properties for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $13.8 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
        The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Overview
 
        We are a Maryland REIT focused on acquiring, developing, renovating, leasing and operating single-family homes as rental properties. The Operating Partnership is the entity through which we conduct substantially all of our business and own, directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets. We commenced operations in November 2012.
 
        As of March 31, 2020, we owned 52,776 single-family properties in selected sub-markets of metropolitan statistical areas, or MSAs, in 22 states, including 960 properties held for sale, compared to 52,552 single-family properties in 22 states, including 1,187 properties held for sale, as of December 31, 2019, and 52,923 single-family properties in 22 states, including 1,793 properties held for sale as of March 31, 2019. As of March 31, 2020, we had commitments to acquire an additional 258 single-family properties for an aggregate purchase price of $71.3 million, as well as $38.8 million in purchase commitments that relate to both third-party developer agreements and land for our AMH Development Program. As of March 31, 2020, 49,029, or 94.6%, of our total properties (excluding properties held for sale) were occupied, compared to 48,767, or 94.9%, of our total properties (excluding properties held for sale) as of December 31, 2019, and 48,867, or 95.6%, of our total properties (excluding properties held for sale) as of March 31, 2019. Also, as of March 31, 2020, the Company had an additional 876 properties held in unconsolidated joint ventures, representing a net increase of 68 properties, compared to 808 properties held in unconsolidated joint ventures as of December 31, 2019, and a net increase of 258 properties, compared to 618 properties held in unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2019. Our portfolio of single-family properties, including those held in our unconsolidated joint ventures, is internally managed through our proprietary property management platform.

COVID-19 Business Update

        Since the COVID-19 pandemic began towards the end of the first quarter, the Company has been able to maintain continuity in business operations through the use of its mobile technology enabled operating platform as it prioritizes the health and safety of its residents and employees. The Company has implemented comprehensive remote working policies for all corporate and field offices, and additional safety measures for field staff to ensure continuity of services, while protecting employees, residents and their families.

        The Company has waived late fees and halted evictions for nonpayment of rent for the months of April and May 2020 and is experiencing lower levels of resident move-outs with an April 2020 Same-Home portfolio monthly turnover rate of 3.0%, which compares to 3.2% in April 2019. The Company has also offered zero percent increases on renewal leases signed in April and May. New leasing activity continues without interruption, as the Company’s proprietary Let Yourself In℠ technology provides full functionality for prospective residents to tour homes, submit applications and execute leases while following social distancing guidelines, resulting in an April 2020 Same-Home portfolio Average Occupied Days Percentage of approximately 95.1%. Additionally, the Company collected 95% of April rents and collected 82% of May rents through May 5, 2020, which represents approximately 94% of rent typically collected during the first five calendar days of the month. Our reported collections numbers reflect actual cash payments received, without application of security deposits, compared to our historic collection levels.

        As previously announced, the Company is continuing its temporary suspension of traditional acquisition channel and National Builder Program acquisitions. However, where in compliance with state and local mandates, the Company is continuing construction activity on its pipeline of internally developed built-for-rental homes.

        The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately impact us and our residents will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain. These include the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.

        For more information on risks related to COVID-19, see Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors—We are subject to risks from the global pandemic associated with COVID-19 and we may in the future be subject to risks from other public health crises.”

        We believe these key single-family property and leasing metrics provide useful information to investors because they allow investors to understand the composition and performance of our properties on a market by market basis. Management also uses these metrics to understand the composition and performance of our properties at the market level.

Factors That Affect Our Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
        Our results of operations and financial condition are affected by numerous factors, many of which are beyond our control. Currently, the most significant factor impacting us is the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is discussed above. Other key factors that impact our results of operations and financial condition include the pace at which we identify and acquire suitable properties, the time and cost required to renovate the acquired properties, the pace and cost of our property developments, the time to lease newly acquired or developed properties at acceptable rental rates, occupancy levels, rates of tenant turnover, the length of vacancy in properties between tenant leases, our expense ratios, our ability to raise capital and our capital structure.
 
        Property Acquisitions, Development and Dispositions
 
        Since our formation, we have rapidly but systematically grown our portfolio of single-family properties. Our ability to identify and acquire homes that meet our investment criteria is impacted by home prices in our target markets, the inventory of properties available-for-sale through traditional acquisition channels, competition for our target assets and our available capital. We are increasingly focused on developing “built-for-rental” homes through our internal AMH Development Program and acquiring newly constructed homes from third-party developers through our National Builder Program. Opportunities from these new

29


construction channels are impacted by the availability of vacant developed lots, development land assets and inventory of homes currently under construction or newly developed. Our level of investment activity has fluctuated based on the number of suitable opportunities and the level of capital available to invest. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we acquired or developed 656 homes, including 401 newly constructed properties delivered through our AMH Development and National Builder Programs and 255 homes acquired through traditional acquisition channels, partially offset by 410 homes sold and 22 homes contributed to an unconsolidated joint venture. Although we are currently continuing construction activity on our existing pipeline of internally developed built-for-rental homes, subject to compliance with state and local mandates related to COVID-19, given market uncertainties regarding future asset values, we have temporarily suspended our traditional acquisition channel and National Builder acquisition programs.

        Our properties held for sale were identified based on sub-market analysis, as well as individual property-level operational review. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 960 and 1,187 properties, respectively, classified as held for sale. We will continue to evaluate our properties for potential disposition going forward as a normal course of business.

        Property Operations

        Homes added to our portfolio through new construction channels include properties developed through our internal AMH Development Program and newly constructed properties acquired from third-party developers through our National Builder Program. Rental homes developed through these channels involve substantial up-front costs, time to acquire and develop land, time to build the rental home, and time to lease the rental home before the home generates income. This process is dependent upon the nature of each lot acquired and the timeline varies primarily due to land development requirements. Once land development requirements have been met, on average it takes approximately four to six months to complete the rental home vertical construction process. Our internal construction program is managed by our team of development professionals that oversee the full rental home construction process including all land development and work performed by subcontractors. We typically incur costs between $200,000 and $350,000 to acquire and develop land and build a rental home. Homes added from our new construction channels are available for lease immediately upon or shortly after receipt of a certificate of occupancy.

        Homes added to our portfolio through traditional acquisition channels require expenditures in addition to payment of the purchase price, including property inspections, closing costs, liens, title insurance, transfer taxes, recording fees, broker commissions, property taxes and homeowner association (“HOA”) fees, when applicable. In addition, we typically incur costs between $15,000 and $30,000 to renovate a home acquired through traditional acquisition channels to prepare it for rental. Renovation work varies, but may include paint, flooring, cabinetry, appliances, plumbing hardware and other items required to prepare the home for rental. The time and cost involved to prepare our homes for rental can impact our financial performance and varies among properties based on several factors, including the source of acquisition channel and age and condition of the property. On average, it takes approximately 40 to 60 days to complete the renovation process.

        Our operating results are also impacted by the amount of time it takes to market and lease a property, which can vary greatly among properties, and is impacted by local demand, our marketing techniques and the size of our available inventory. On average, it takes approximately 20 to 40 days to lease a property after acquiring or developing a new property through our new construction channels or after completing the renovation process for a traditionally acquired property. Lastly, our operating results are impacted by the length of stay of our tenants and the amount of time it takes to prepare and re-lease a property after a tenant vacates. This process, which we refer to as “turnover,” is impacted by numerous factors, including the condition of the home upon move-out of the previous tenant, and by local demand, our marketing techniques and the size of our available inventory at the time of the turnover. On average, it takes approximately 40 to 60 days to complete the turnover process.
 
        Revenues
 
        Our revenues are derived primarily from rents collected from tenants for our single-family properties under lease agreements which typically have a term of one year. Our rental rates and occupancy levels are affected by macroeconomic factors and local and property-level factors, including market conditions, seasonality and tenant defaults, and the amount of time it takes to turn properties when tenants vacate. Additionally, our ability to collect revenues and related operating results are impacted by the credit worthiness and quality of our tenants. On average, our tenants have household incomes ranging from $70,000 to $110,000 and primarily consist of families with approximately two adults and one or more children.
 
        Our rents and other single-family property revenues are comprised of rental revenue from single-family properties, fees from our single-family property rentals and “tenant charge-backs,” which are primarily related to cost recoveries on utilities.
 
        Our ability to maintain and grow revenues from our existing portfolio of homes will be dependent on our ability to retain tenants and increase rental rates. Based on our Same-Home population of properties (defined below), the year-over-year increase in

30


Average Monthly Realized Rent per property was 3.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, and turnover rates remained flat at 8.0% for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. However, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are offering zero percent increases on renewal leases signed in April and May.
 
        Expenses
 
        We monitor the following categories of expenses that we believe most significantly affect our results of operations.
  
        Property Operating Expenses
 
        Once a property is available for lease, which we refer to as “rent-ready,” we incur ongoing property-related expenses which may not be subject to our control. These include primarily property taxes, repairs and maintenance (“R&M”), turnover costs, HOA fees (when applicable) and insurance.
 
        Property Management Expenses
 
        As we internally manage our portfolio of single-family properties through our proprietary property management platform, we incur costs such as salary expenses for property management personnel, lease expenses and operating costs for property management offices and technology expenses for maintaining our property management platform. As part of developing our property management platform, we have made significant investments in our infrastructure, systems and technology. We believe that these investments will enable our property management platform to become more efficient over time, especially as our portfolio grows. Also included in property management expenses is noncash share-based compensation expense related to centralized and field property management employees.
 
        Seasonality
 
        We believe that our business and related operating results will be impacted by seasonal factors throughout the year. We experience higher levels of tenant move-outs and move-ins during the late spring and summer months, which impacts both our rental revenues and related turnover costs. Our property operating costs are seasonally impacted in certain markets for expenses such as HVAC repairs, turn costs and landscaping expenses during the summer season. Additionally, our single-family properties are at greater risk in certain markets for adverse weather conditions such as hurricanes in the late summer months and extreme cold weather in the winter months.
  
        General and Administrative Expense
 
        General and administrative expense primarily consists of corporate payroll and personnel costs, federal and state taxes, trustees’ and officers’ insurance expenses, audit and tax fees, trustee fees and other expenses associated with our corporate and administrative functions. Also included in general and administrative expense is noncash share-based compensation expense related to corporate administrative employees.

Results of Operations
 
        Net income totaled $37.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to net income of $33.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This improvement was primarily attributable to higher revenues resulting from a larger number of occupied properties and higher rental rates, which were offset in part by higher property management expenses, higher general and administrative expense and a noncash write-down included in other expenses associated with the liquidation of legacy joint ventures, which were acquired as part of the American Residential Properties, Inc. (“ARPI”) merger in February 2016, as well as an increase in gain on sale of single-family properties and other, net.

        As we continue to grow our portfolio with a portion of our homes still recently developed, acquired and/or renovated, we distinguish our portfolio of homes between Same-Home properties and Non-Same-Home and Other properties in evaluating our operating performance. We classify a property as Same-Home if it has been stabilized longer than 90 days prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented under comparison and if it has not been classified as held for sale or taken out of service as a result of a casualty loss, which allows the performance of these properties to be compared between periods. Single-family properties that we acquire individually (i.e., not through a bulk purchase) are classified as either stabilized or non-stabilized. A property is classified as stabilized once it has been renovated by the Company or newly constructed and then initially leased or available for rent for a period greater than 90 days. Properties acquired through a bulk purchase are first considered non-stabilized, as an entire group, until (1) we have owned them for an adequate period of time to allow for complete on-boarding to our operating platform, and (2) a substantial portion of the properties have experienced tenant turnover at least once under our ownership, providing the opportunity for

31


renovations and improvements to meet our property standards. After such time has passed, properties acquired through a bulk purchase are then evaluated on an individual property basis under our standard stabilization criteria. All other properties, including those classified as held for sale or taken out of service as a result of a casualty loss, are classified as Non-Same-Home and Other.
 
        One of the primary financial measures we use in evaluating the operating performance of our single-family properties is Core Net Operating Income (“Core NOI”), which we also present separately for our Same-Home portfolio. Core NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that we define as core revenues, which is calculated as total revenues, excluding expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs and other revenues, less core property operating expenses, which is calculated as property operating and property management expenses, excluding noncash share-based compensation expense and expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs.

        Core NOI also excludes (1) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (2) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to the impacted single-family properties, (3) gain or loss on sales of single-family properties and other, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) acquisition and other transaction costs incurred with business combinations and the acquisition or disposition of properties, (6) noncash share-based compensation expense, (7) interest expense, (8) general and administrative expense, (9) other expenses and (10) other revenues. We believe Core NOI provides useful information to investors about the operating performance of our single-family properties without the impact of certain operating expenses that are reimbursed through tenant charge-backs.

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

Total Revenues

        Total revenues increased 3.7% to $289.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $279.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Revenue growth was primarily driven by continued strong leasing activity, as our average occupied portfolio grew to 48,898 homes for the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to 48,345 homes for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as well as higher rental rates.

Property Operating Expenses

        Property operating expenses increased 0.8% to $107.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $106.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to higher property tax expense related to growth in the number of homes in our portfolio and the timing of valuation increases, partially offset by lower HOA fees, net of tenant chargebacks.


34


Property Management Expenses

        Property management expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were $23.3 million and $20.7 million, respectively, which included $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of noncash share-based compensation expense related to centralized and field property management employees. The increase in property management expense was primarily attributable to higher personnel costs.

Core Revenues from Same-Home Properties

        Core revenues from Same-Home properties increased 3.9% to $217.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $209.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to higher Average Monthly Realized Rent per property, which increased 3.6% to $1,664 per month for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $1,606 per month for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as well as higher fees from single-family properties resulting from operational enhancements to our fee structure.

Core Property Operating Expenses from Same-Home Properties
 
        Core property operating expenses consist of direct property operating expenses, net of tenant charge-backs, and property management costs, net of tenant charge-backs, and excludes noncash share-based compensation expense. Core property operating expenses from Same-Home properties increased 4.0% to $76.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $73.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Same-Home core property operating expenses as a percentage of Same-Home core revenues remained flat at 35.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019. The increase in Same-Home core property operating expenses was driven by higher property tax expense related to the timing of valuation increases as well as higher property management expenses, net of tenant charge-backs and excluding noncash share-based compensation expense.
 
General and Administrative Expense
 
        General and administrative expense primarily consists of corporate payroll and personnel costs, federal and state taxes, trustees’ and officers’ insurance expense, audit and tax fees, trustee fees and other expenses associated with our corporate and administrative functions. General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was $11.3 million and $9.4 million, respectively, which included $1.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of noncash share-based compensation expense related to corporate administrative employees. The increase in general and administrative expense was primarily related to higher personnel costs.
 
Interest Expense
 
        Interest expense decreased 6.9% to $29.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $31.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This decrease was primarily related to additional capitalized interest during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the payoff of the term loan facility in June 2019, partially offset by the unsecured senior notes issued in late January 2019.
 
Acquisition and Other Transaction Costs
 
        Acquisition and other transaction costs were $2.1 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which primarily related to costs associated with purchases of single-family properties, including newly constructed properties from third-party builders, as well as costs associated with the disposal of certain properties or portfolios of properties. The growth in our acquisition program was the primary driver for the year-over-year increase.

Depreciation and Amortization
 
        Depreciation and amortization expense consists primarily of depreciation of buildings and improvements. Depreciation of our assets is calculated over their useful lives on a straight-line basis over three to 30 years. Our intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over the asset’s estimated economic useful life. Depreciation and amortization expense increased 2.0% to $82.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 from $81.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily due to growth in our average number of depreciable properties.


35


Other Revenues

        Other revenues were $2.3 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which primarily related to interest income, fees from unconsolidated joint ventures, and equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures.

Other Expenses

        Other expenses were $6.1 million and $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, which primarily related to impairments on properties held for sale and expenses related to joint ventures. Also included in other expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was a $4.9 million noncash write-down associated with the liquidation of legacy joint ventures, which were acquired as part of the ARPI merger in February 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
        Our critical accounting policies are included in Part II, “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “2019 Annual Report”). There have been no changes to these policies during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
 
Income Taxes
 
        AH4R has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2012. We believe that we have operated, and continue to operate, in such a manner as to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT. Provided that we qualify as a REIT and our distributions to our shareholders equal or exceed our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains), we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.

        Qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, including tests related to the percentage of income that we earn from specified sources and the percentage of our earnings that we distribute to our shareholders. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will continue to be organized or be able to operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax and state income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and we would likely be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT until the fifth calendar year following the year in which we fail to qualify.

        Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state or local income and capital taxes and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed REIT taxable income, if any. Certain of our subsidiaries are subject to taxation by U.S. federal, state and local authorities for the periods presented. We made joint elections to treat certain subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries which are subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes on their income at regular corporate rates. The tax years from 2015 to present generally remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

        We believe that our Operating Partnership is properly treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Operating Partnership is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of the Operating Partnership’s partners, including AH4R, is allocated, and may be required to pay tax with respect to, its share of the Operating Partnership’s income. As such, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been included for the Operating Partnership.

        Accounting Standards Codification 740-10, Income Taxes, requires recognition of deferred tax assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained, based solely on its technical merits, with the taxing authority having full authority of all relevant information. The measurement of a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that meets the more likely than not threshold is based on a cumulative probability model under which the largest amount of tax benefit recognized is the amount with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. As of March 31, 2020, there were no deferred tax assets and liabilities or unrecognized tax benefits recorded by the Company. We do not anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.


36


        As a REIT, we are required to distribute annually to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains) and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income. The Operating Partnership funds the payment of distributions. We expect to use our net operating loss carryforward (“NOL”) to reduce our REIT taxable income in the current and future years. As of December 31, 2019, AH4R had an NOL for U.S. federal income tax purposes of an estimated $188.8 million. Once our NOL is fully used, we would be required to increase AH4R’s distributions to comply with REIT distribution requirements and our current policy of distributing approximately all of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

        See Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report for a discussion of the adoption and potential impact of recently issued accounting standards.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
        Our liquidity and capital resources as of March 31, 2020 included cash and cash equivalents of $33.1 million. Additionally, as of March 31, 2020, we had $105.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which provides for maximum borrowings of up to $800.0 million, of which $3.7 million was committed to outstanding letters of credit. We have no debt maturities, other than recurring principal amortization, until 2022.
  
        Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, maintain our assets, fund our operations, make distributions to our shareholders and OP unitholders, including AH4R, and meet other general requirements of our business. Our liquidity, to a certain extent, is subject to general economic, financial, competitive and other factors beyond our control. Our liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the acquisition, development, renovation and maintenance of our properties, HOA fees (as applicable), real estate taxes, non-recurring capital expenditures, interest and principal payments on our indebtedness, general and administrative expenses, payment of quarterly dividends on our preferred shares and units, and payment of distributions to our common shareholders and unitholders.
 
        We seek to satisfy our liquidity needs through cash provided by operations, long-term secured and unsecured borrowings, issuances of debt and equity securities (including OP units), asset-backed securitizations, property dispositions and joint venture transactions. We have financed our operations, acquisitions and development expenditures to date through the issuance of equity securities, borrowings under our credit facilities, asset-backed securitizations and unsecured senior notes, and proceeds from the sale of single-family properties. Going forward, we expect to meet our operating liquidity requirements generally through cash on hand and cash provided by operations. We believe our rental income, net of operating expenses and recurring capital expenditures, will generally provide cash flow sufficient to fund our operations and dividend distributions. However, our real estate assets are illiquid in nature. A timely liquidation of assets might not be a viable source of short-term liquidity should a cash flow shortfall arise, and we may need to source liquidity from other financing alternatives including drawing on our revolving credit facility.

        As discussed above under “COVID-19 Business Update,” the COVID-19 pandemic has had an adverse impact on financial markets and may adversely impact our operating cash flows. Since we do not know the ultimate severity and length of the COVID-19 pandemic, and thus cannot predict the impact it will have on our tenants and on the debt and equity capital markets, we cannot estimate the ultimate impact it will have on our liquidity and capital resources.

        As of April 30, 2020, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $30.1 million with no changes to total outstanding debt since March 31, 2020. During April 2020, the Company sold an additional 60 properties generating $13.8 million of net proceeds.

        Cash Flows

        The following table summarizes the Company’s and the Operating Partnership’s cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

For the Three Months Ended
March 31,
20202019Change
Net cash provided by operating activities$126,496  $147,936  $(21,440) 
Net cash used for investing activities(179,214) (130,869) (48,345) 
Net cash provided by financing activities50,328  120,466  (70,138) 
Net (decrease) increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$(2,390) $137,533  $(139,923) 

        Operating Activities

        Our cash flows provided by operating activities, which is our principal source of cash flows, depend on numerous factors, including the occupancy level of our properties, the rental rates achieved on our leases, the collection of rent from our tenants and the level of property operating expenses, property management expenses and general and administrative expenses. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $21.4 million, or 14.5%, from $147.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $126.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily as a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by increased cash flows generated from a larger number of occupied properties and increases in rental rates on lease renewals and re-leasing of our single-family properties.

        Investing Activities

        Net cash used for investing activities increased $48.3 million, or 36.9%, from $130.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $179.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily driven by the strategic expansion of our portfolio through traditional acquisition channels, the development of “built-for-rental” homes through our AMH Development Program, and acquiring newly built properties through our National Builder Program using cash generated from operating and financing activities and by recycling capital through the sale of single-family properties. However, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, given the market uncertainty regarding future asset values, the Company has temporarily suspended its traditional acquisition channel and National Builder acquisition programs. The Company plans to continue construction activity, while in compliance with state and local mandates, on its existing pipeline of “built-for-rental” homes through our AMH Development Program. Recurring and other capital expenditures for single-family properties increased as a result of investments in properties to increase future revenues or reduce maintenance expenditures. The development of “built-for-rental” homes and our property-enhancing capital expenditures may reduce recurring and other capital expenditures on an average per home basis in the future.

        Financing Activities

        Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $70.1 million, or 58.2%, from $120.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 to $50.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020, driven by decreased borrowing activity and an increase in cash paid for distributions. The Company borrowed $105.0 million under its revolving credit facility during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $397.9 million of proceeds from unsecured senior notes, net of discount, partially offset by $250.0 million of payments on its revolving credit facility, during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The Company distributed$49.1 million on a cash basis to share and unit holders during the three months ended March 31, 2020, compared to $17.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, as a result of timing differences in distributions year-over-year.
 
        At-the-Market Common Share Offering Program

        The Company established an at-the-market common share offering program under which we can issue Class A common shares from time to time through various sales agents up to an aggregate of $500.0 million (the “At-the-Market Program”). The Company intends to use any net proceeds from the At-the-Market Program to repay borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility, to acquire and renovate single-family properties and for related activities in accordance with the Company’s business strategy, and for working capital and general corporate purposes. The At-the-Market Program may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. As of March 31, 2020, no shares have been issued under the At-the-Market Program and $500.0 million remained available for future share issuances.


38


        Share Repurchase Program

        The Company’s board of trustees authorized the establishment of our share repurchase program, authorizing the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of our outstanding Class A common shares and up to $250.0 million of our outstanding preferred shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The program does not have an expiration date, but may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. All repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an authorized and unissued status. The Operating Partnership funds the repurchases and constructively retires an equivalent number of corresponding Class A units. During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, we did not repurchase and retire any of our shares. As of March 31, 2020, we had a remaining repurchase authorization of up to $265.1 million of our outstanding Class A common shares and up to $250.0 million of our outstanding preferred shares under the program.

        Distributions

        As a REIT, we are required to distribute annually to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding any net capital gains) and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income. The Operating Partnership funds the payment of distributions. We expect to use our NOL to reduce our REIT taxable income in the current and future years. As of December 31, 2019, AH4R had an NOL for U.S. federal income tax purposes of an estimated $188.8 million. Once our NOL is fully used, we would be required to increase AH4R’s distributions to comply with REIT distribution requirements and our current policy of distributing approximately all of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid).
        
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
        We have no material obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

        Material changes to our aggregate indebtedness, if any, are described in Note 8. Debt to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report.

        Except as described in Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report, as of March 31, 2020, there have been no other material changes outside of the ordinary course of business to our other known contractual obligations, which are set forth in the table included in Part II, “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2019 Annual Report.

Additional Non-GAAP Measures

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) / Core FFO / Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders

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

        Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental measure of our performance. We compute this metric by adjusting FFO attributable to common share and unit holders for (1) acquisition and other transaction costs incurred with business combinations and the acquisition or disposition of properties, (2) noncash share-based compensation expense, (3) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to the impacted single-family properties, and (4) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt.

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


39


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

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

        The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s net income attributable to common shareholders, determined in accordance with GAAP, to FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders and Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

EBITDA / EBITDAre / Adjusted EBITDAre / Adjusted EBITDAre after Capex and Leasing Costs

        EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is used by us and others as a supplemental measure of performance. EBITDAre is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, which we calculate in accordance with the definition approved by NAREIT by adjusting EBITDA for the net gain or loss on sales / impairment of single-family properties and other and adjusting for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. Adjusted EBITDAre is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adjusting EBITDAre for (1) acquisition and other transaction costs incurred with business combinations and the acquisition or disposition of properties, (2) noncash share-based compensation expense, (3) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to the impacted single-family properties, and (4) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt. Adjusted EBITDAre after Capex and Leasing Costs is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adjusting Adjusted EBITDAre for (1) recurring capital expenditures and (2) leasing costs. We believe these metrics provide useful information to investors because they exclude the impact of various income and expense items that are not indicative of operating performance.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
Interest Rate Risk

        During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company borrowed an additional $105.0 million, resulting in $105.0 million of outstanding variable rate debt as of March 31, 2020. We may incur additional variable rate debt in the future, including additional amounts that we may borrow under our revolving credit facility.

        As of March 31, 2020, assuming no change in the outstanding balance of our existing variable rate debt, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase or decrease in the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate would increase or decrease our projected annual interest expense by approximately $1.1 million. This analysis does not consider the effects of the reduced level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment. Further, in the event of a change of such magnitude, we would consider taking actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, because of the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the sensitivity analysis assumes no changes in our capital structure.

        There have been no other material changes to our market risk from those disclosed in section Part II, “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” of our 2019 Annual Report.

        The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in accordance with SEC guidelines and that such information is communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures in reaching that level of reasonable assurance.
 
        Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable assurance level.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
        There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2020, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
        For a description of the Company’s legal proceedings, see Note 15. Commitments and Contingencies to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this report.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
 
        In addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risks described in our 2019 Annual Report in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and in our other filings with the SEC. These factors may materially affect our business, financial condition and operating results and could cause our actual results to differ materially from expectations.

        The following risk factor supplements the existing risk factors set forth in our 2019 Annual Report.

        We are subject to risks from the global pandemic associated with COVID-19 and we may in the future be subject to risks from other public health crises.

        Our business is subject to risks from the COVID-19 pandemic that is currently impacting our tenants, employees and suppliers. The COVID-19 pandemic has spread rapidly, adversely affecting public health, economic activity and employment. The risks to our business from the COVID-19 pandemic include:

The pandemic and the measures taken to combat it have resulted in a significant increase in unemployment. Our operating results depend significantly on the ability of our current and prospective tenants to pay their rent. To the extent our current tenants or prospective tenants experience unemployment, deteriorating financial conditions, and declines in household income, they may be unwilling or unable to pay rent in full on a timely basis or renew or enter into new leases for our homes, and our revenues and operating results could be negatively affected. We have received a number of tenant inquiries regarding rent relief. The longer the COVID-19 pandemic continues, the greater the adverse impact is expected to be on our tenants’ ability to make timely rental payments, on prospective residents to afford our homes, and ultimately on our occupancy.

State, local, federal and industry-initiated efforts in response to the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely affect our business. Certain government actions have, and future government actions may, restrict our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for failure to pay rent. In addition, government restrictions on movement have and may in the future limit the ability of prospective tenants to visit our properties or new tenants to move into our properties. These government efforts to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic could adversely affect our occupancy levels and increase possible credit losses.

Our acquisition and development activities have been slowed. Our growth may be adversely impacted as our ability to acquire and construct homes has been negatively affected by COVID-19. Due to market uncertainties regarding future asset values, we have temporarily ceased broker and third-party builder home acquisitions. We have continued new home construction, which most states permit as an essential business activity; however, some states where we are constructing new homes, such as Washington, temporarily prohibited residential construction. In addition, adverse impacts on the supply of construction materials and labor may delay or halt our construction activity.

Our employees face COVID-19 health risks. If a significant number or our employees, or if key personnel, are unable to work as a result of COVID-19, this would adversely impact our business and operating results. In addition, during the COVID-19 outbreak, substantially all of our employees are working remotely and depend on Internet and third-party communications vendors that may be unreliable, experience shut-downs or be subject to new cybersecurity risks, adversely impacting operations.

COVID-19 may delay our ability to maintain our properties. During the COVID-19 outbreak, we are prioritizing emergency repair and maintenance activities for occupied homes and we believe some tenants may be reluctant to request routine maintenance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Deferring routine repairs and maintenance may impact the value and desirability of our rental homes. It may also increase the expense and difficulty of completing these repairs in the future and may delay other needed repairs when the COVID-19 pandemic no longer constrains business activity.

COVID-19 has adversely affected the capital markets. The financial and capital markets have experienced significant volatility and disruptions during the COVID-19 pandemic. If this volatility continues, it may increase the cost and availability of capital. As a result, we may have difficulty accessing debt and equity markets on attractive terms, or at all, which could affect our ability to meet liquidity and capital expenditure requirements.

        We believe that the degree to which COVID-19 adversely impacts our business, operating results, cash flows and/or financial condition will be driven primarily by the duration, spread and severity of the pandemic, all of which are uncertain and difficult to predict. As a result, we are not able at this time to estimate the effect of these factors on our business, but the adverse impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows could be material. Future public health crises could have similar impacts.
