Investment Activity

Acquisitions

Subsequent to quarter-end, on April 6, 2022, we purchased for $25.4 million the Views of Music City (Phase 1), a 96-unit community in Nashville, TN from one of our unconsolidated joint ventures. The property was developed by our joint venture partner and was completed in January 2022. The Views of Music City (Phase 1) has an average rent per occupied unit of $1,451 and is currently in lease-up with stabilization expected to occur in June 2022. The acquisition represents the exercise of our purchase option under the terms of the joint venture agreement entered into on September 3, 2021. Development of Phase 2, which consists of 209 units, is expected to be completed during Q4 2023.

Dispositions

In connection with our merger with STAR and during the three months ended March 31, 2022, we completed the following dispositions and used net proceeds from these sales to repay debt of the combined company.

•Riverchase in Indianapolis, IN: sold on January 18, 2022 and recognized a gain on sale of $12.9 million.

•Haverford Place in Louisville, KY: sold on February 2, 2022 and recognized a gain on sale of $16.7 million.

•Heritage Park in Oklahoma City, OK: sold on February 2, 2022 and recognized a gain on sale of $31.4 million.

•Raindance in Oklahoma City, OK: sold on February 2, 2022 and recognized a gain on sale of $33.7 million.

Held for Sale

As of March 31, 2022, in connection with our ongoing capital recycling program, we identified two properties, Meadows Apartments in Louisville, KY and Sycamore Terrace in Terra Haute, IN, as held for sale. We expect these dispositions to close in the third quarter of 2022. We intend to recycle the net proceeds from the sales into the acquisition of properties in markets that we believe have better long-term growth prospects.

Virtuoso Joint Venture Investment

On March 31, 2022, we formed a joint venture to acquire and own a project comprised of 400 single family home rental units in Huntsville, AL. Development of phase one of this project (comprised of 178 homes) was completed in 2021 and was acquired by the joint venture on March 31, 2022. Upon acquisition of phase one by the joint venture, 85% of the homes were leased. The joint venture expects to acquire phase two of the project (comprised of 222 homes), currently expected to occur in the second quarter of 2022. We have committed to invest an aggregate $37.1 million in this joint venture, of which $16.4 million was funded on March 31, 2022.

Capital Expenditures

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, recurring capital expenditures for the total portfolio were $3.9 million, or $106 per unit.

At-the-Market Offering

On November 13, 2020 we entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which we may from time to time offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150 million (the “ATM Program”) in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings. Under the ATM Program, we may also enter into one or more forward sale transactions for the sale of shares of our common stock on a forward basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we entered into a forward sale transaction under the ATM Program for the forward sale of 1,000,000 shares of our common stock. We expect to physically settle the forward sale transaction by the maturity date (March 31, 2023) of the forward sale transaction. Assuming the forward sale transaction is physically settled in full utilizing the current forward sale price of $26.86 per share, we expect to receive proceeds, net of sales commissions, of approximately $26.5 million, subject to adjustment in accordance with the forward sale transaction.

Distributions

On March 14, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.12 per share of our common stock, which was paid on April 22, 2022 to stockholders of record at the close of business on April 1, 2022.

2022 EPS and CFFO Guidance

We are raising our 2022 full year guidance. Earnings per diluted share is now projected to be in the range of $0.50 to $0.52. A reconciliation of IRT's projected net income allocable to common shares to its projected CFFO per share is included below. See the schedules and definitions at the end of this release for further information regarding how IRT calculates CFFO and for management’s definition and rationale for the usefulness of CFFO.


	Previous Guidance		Current Guidance
2022 Full Year EPS and CFFO Guidance (1)(2)	Low	High	Low	High
Earnings per share	$0.32	$0.36	$0.50	$0.52
Adjustments:
Depreciation and amortization (3)	1.10	1.10	1.12	1.12
Gain on sale of real estate assets (4)	(0.42)	(0.42)	(0.58)	(0.58)
Core FFO per share allocated to common shareholders	$1.00	$1.04	$1.04	$1.06

(1)This guidance, including the underlying assumptions presented in the table below, constitutes forward-looking information. Actual full year 2022 EPS and CFFO could vary significantly from the projections presented. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below. Our guidance is based on the key guidance assumptions detailed below.

(2)Per share guidance is based on 228.0 million weighted average shares and units outstanding.

(3)Depreciation and amortization includes $53.3 million ($0.23 per share) of amortization related to STAR in-place lease intangibles that are a result of GAAP purchase accounting. These intangibles are expected to be amortized over less than one year.

(4)Gains on sale of real estate assets include the four asset sales that occurred during the first quarter of 2022 and the two properties identified as held for sale as of March 31, 2022.

2022 Guidance Assumptions

Our key guidance assumptions for 2022 are enumerated below. See definitions at the end of this release for further information regarding our same-store definitions.


Combined Same-Store Portfolio	Previous 2022 Outlook	Current 2022 Outlook(1)
Number of properties/units	115 properties / 34,454 units	113 properties / 33,804 units
Property revenue growth	8.1% to 9.1%	9.1% to 10.1%
Controllable operating expense growth	2.5% to 3.5%	3.0% to 4.0%
Real estate tax and insurance expense growth	6.5% to 8.5%	6.5% to 8.5%
Total operating expense growth	4.0% to 5.5%	4.25% to 5.75%
Property NOI growth	10.0% to 12.0%	11.5% to 13.5%

General and administrative & Property management expenses	$48.0 million to $51.0 million	$48.0 million to $51.0 million
Interest expense(2)	$100.0 million to $103.0 million	$98.0 million to $100.0 million

Transaction/Investment Volume(3)
Acquisition volume	None assumed	$25 to $250 million
Disposition volume	$157 million	$157 to $400 million

Capital Expenditures
Recurring	$18.5 million to $21.5 million	$18.5 million to $21.5 million
Value add & non-recurring	$42.5 million to $47.5 million	$42.5 million to $47.5 million
Development	$65.0 million to $75.0 million	$65.0 million to $75.0 million

(1)This guidance, including the underlying assumptions, constitutes forward-looking information. Actual results could vary significantly from the projections presented. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

(2)Interest expense includes amortization of deferred financing costs but excludes loan premium accretion, net. As a result of purchase accounting, we recorded a $72.1 million loan premium, net, related to STAR debt. This loan premium will be accreted into and reduce GAAP interest expense over the remaining term of the associated debt. However, loan premium accretion will be excluded from CFFO.

(3)We continue to evaluate our portfolio for capital recycling opportunities so actual acquisitions and dispositions could vary significantly from our projections. We undertake no duty to update these assumptions. See “Forward-Looking Statements” below.

(a)The rent premium reflects the per unit per month difference between the rental rate on the renovated unit and the market rent for an unrenovated unit as of the date presented, as determined by management consistent with its customary rent-setting and evaluation procedures.

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

(c)Calculated using the rent premium per unit per month, multiplied by 12, divided by the interior renovation costs per unit.

(d)Calculated using the rent premium per unit per month, multiplied by 12, divided by the total renovation costs per unit.

(e)The Collier Park project commenced during Q1 2022 and we expect the other future projects to commence in mid-2022.

(f)We consider value add projects completed when over 85% of the property’s units to be renovated have been completed. We continue to renovate remaining unrenovated units as leases expire until we complete 100% of the property’s units.

(g)Includes the Haverford, Crestmont and Creekside properties that were formerly a part of the value add program but were sold in February 2022 and December 2021, respectively.

DEFINITIONS

Average Effective Monthly Rent per Unit

Average effective rent per unit represents the average of gross rent amounts, divided by the average occupancy (in units) for the period presented. We believe average effective rent is a helpful measurement in evaluating average pricing. This metric, when presented, reflects the average effective rent per month.

Average Occupancy

Average occupancy represents the average occupied units for the reporting period divided by the average of total units available for rent for the reporting period.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense including amortization of deferred financing costs, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA before certain other non-cash or non-operating gains or losses related to items such as asset sales, debt extinguishments and acquisition related debt extinguishment expenses, casualty losses, and abandoned deal costs. We consider each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of performance because it eliminates interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash or non-operating gains and losses, which permits investors to view income from operations without these non-cash or non-operating items. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA differs from the methodology used for calculating Adjusted EBITDA by certain other REITs and, accordingly, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA reported by other REITs.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Core Funds From Operations (“CFFO”)

We believe that FFO and Core FFO (“CFFO”), each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure, are additional appropriate measures of the operating performance of a REIT and us in particular. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), as net income or loss allocated to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses on sales of real estate and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles. While our calculation of FFO is in accordance with NAREIT’s definition, it may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to FFO computations of such other REITs.

CFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations, including depreciation and amortization of other items not included in FFO, and other non-cash or non-operating gains or losses related to items such as merger and integration costs, casualty losses, abandoned deal costs and debt extinguishment costs from the determination of FFO.

Our calculation of CFFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating CFFO by other REITs and, accordingly, our CFFO may not be comparable to CFFO reported by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO and CFFO as measures of our operating performance, and believe they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash or non-recurring items that are required by GAAP to be expensed but may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, CFFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we believe that FFO and CFFO may provide us and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to certain other REITs. Neither FFO nor CFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and CFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Accordingly, FFO and CFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization and capital improvements. Neither FFO nor CFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income or any other

GAAP measurement as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Interest Coverage

Interest coverage is a ratio computed by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by interest expense.

Net Debt

Net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, equals total debt less cash and cash equivalents and loan premiums and discounts. The following table provides a reconciliation of total debt to net debt (Dollars in thousands).

We present net debt because management believes it is a useful measure of our credit position and progress toward reducing leverage. The calculation is limited because we may not always be able to use cash to repay debt on a dollar for dollar basis.

Total net debt	$	2,449,285	$	2,597,778	$	1,010,009	$	1,048,897	$	938,978

Net Operating Income

We believe that Net Operating Income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, casualty related costs, property management expenses, general administrative expenses, interest expense, and net gains on sale of assets.

Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income. We use NOI to evaluate our performance on a same-store and non same-store basis because NOI measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance and captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

Same-Store Properties and Same-Store Portfolio

We review our same-store portfolio at the beginning of each calendar year. Properties are added into the same-store portfolio if they were owned at the beginning of the previous year. Properties that are held-for-sale or have been sold are excluded from the same-store portfolio. Because our portfolio of properties changed significantly as a result of our STAR Merger, which closed on December 16, 2021, we also present, as described below, information on the IRT Same-Store Portfolio, STAR Same-Store Portfolio and Combined Same-Store Portfolio.

IRT Same-Store Portfolio

IRT Same-Store Portfolio represents the 48 properties that IRT owned and consolidated as of January 1, 2021 and through March 31, 2022 (other than properties held for sale as of March 31, 2022).

STAR Same-Store Portfolio

STAR Same-Store Portfolio represents the 65 properties that STAR owned and consolidated as of January 1, 2021 and that, following the consummation of the Merger on December 16, 2021, continued to be owned and consolidated by IRT through March 31, 2022 (other than properties held for sale as of March 31, 2022).

Combined Same-Store Portfolio

Combined Same-Store Portfolio represents the combination of the IRT Same-Store Portfolio and the STAR Same-Store Portfolio considered as a single portfolio of 113 properties.

Pre-Merger STAR Portfolio NOI

In order to reconcile Combined Same-Store NOI to net income for periods prior to our December 16, 2021 merger with STAR, our reconciliation excludes NOI generated by the STAR Portfolio because IRT did not own these properties prior to December 16, 2021.

Total Gross Assets

Total Gross Assets equals total assets plus accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization, including fully depreciated or amortized real estate and real estate related assets. The following table provides a reconciliation of total assets to total gross assets (dollars in thousands).


	As of
	March 31, 2022		December 31, 2021		September 30, 2021		June 30, 2021		March 31, 2021
