EXPLANATORY NOTE

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2017, of American Homes 4 Rent also includes the financial results of American Homes 4 Rent, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “AH4R" 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 September 30, 2017, owned an approximate 83.2% common partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership. The remaining 16.8% 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 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 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, 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 units of partnership interest.

Shareholders' equity, partners' capital and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the condensed 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 noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership's financial statements include an outside ownership interest in a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. The noncontrolling interests in the Company's financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the Operating Partnership level, as well as the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. 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 condensed 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 Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that includes discrete information related to each entity.

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 of American Homes 4 Rent (the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”), 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 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. 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, 2016, and in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, 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 (the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us”(“AH4R") is a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed on October 19, 2012. We are focused on2012, for the purpose of acquiring, renovating, leasing and operating single-family homes as rental properties. American Homes 4 Rent, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company held 48,98250,015 single-family properties in 22 states, including 582469 properties held for sale.

AH4R is the general partner of, and as of September 30, 2017, owned an approximate 83.2% common partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, with the remaining 16.8% common partnership interest 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 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, 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 units of partnership interest.

From our formation through June 10, 2013, we werethe Company was externally managed and advised by American Homes 4 Rent Advisor, LLC (the “Advisor”) and the leasing, managing and advertising of our properties were overseen and directed by American Homes 4 Rent Management Holdings, LLC (the “Property Manager”), both of which were subsidiaries of American Homes 4 Rent, LLC (“AH LLC”). On June 10, 2013, we acquired the Advisor and the Property Manager from AH LLC in exchange for 4,375,000 Series D convertible units and 4,375,000 Series E convertible units in American Homes 4 Rent, L.P. (the “operating partnership”),from the Operating Partnership, therefore internalizing our management including all administrative, financial, property management, marketing and leasing personnel, including executive management. The Company consolidates the Advisor and the Property Manager and the results of these operations are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Effective August 31, 2016, AH LLC was liquidated and its ownership interests in the operating partnershipOperating Partnership were distributed to its members.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of AH4R, the Company, the operating partnershipOperating Partnership and itstheir 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 unconsolidated subsidiary and are included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Ownership interests in certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Company held by outside parties are included in noncontrolling interest within the condensed consolidated financial statements.


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, 2016. 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 Board. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation 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 and 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 July 1, 2016, due to increased volume in the Company's sales of single-family properties, gains and losses from the sales of single-family properties have been included in gain on sale of single-family properties and other, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Prior period net gain from the sales of single-family properties and other, which totaled $0.7 million and $0.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, was previously included in other revenues and has been reclassified to gain on sale of single-family properties and other, net to conform to the current presentation.

Effective December 31, 2016, in accordance with our adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash, the Company includes restricted cash together with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending balances shown in the statements of cash flows, which has the effect of excluding the presentation of transfers between restricted and unrestricted cash amounts in the statements of cash flows. Prior to the adoption, the beginning and ending balances presented in the statements of cash flows included only cash and cash equivalents, and transfers between restricted and unrestricted cash

amounts were presented within operating and investing activities based on the nature of the amounts. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation. This resulted in $134.0$131.4 million and $111.3 million of restricted cash as of JuneSeptember 30, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively, being added to cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Effective January 1, 2017, in order to include share-based compensation costs for employees in the same financial statement line item as the cash compensation paid to the employees, noncash share-based compensation expense has been reclassified with the amounts related to corporate administrative employees and centralized and field property management employees reflected in general and administrative expense and property management expenses, respectively, within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Additionally, all costs associated with operating our proprietary property management platform such as salary expenses for both centralized and field property management personnel, lease expenses and operating costs for property management offices and technology expenses for maintaining the property management platform, which were previously included in property operating expenses, have been reclassified into property management expenses. This resulted in the reclassification of $1.0$0.9 million and $1.9$2.7 million of noncash share-based compensation expense for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, respectively, with $0.4 million and $0.8$1.1 million of noncash share-based compensation expense reclassified to property management expenses, respectively, and $0.6$0.5 million and $1.1$1.6 million of noncash share-based compensation expense reclassified to general and administrative expense, respectively, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. This also resulted in $17.7$17.9 million and $34.1$52.0 million of property management expenses for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, respectively, which were previously included in property operating expenses, being reclassified to property management expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

There have been no other changes to our significant accounting policies that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes, compared to those policies disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016. Therefore, notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements that would substantially duplicate the disclosures contained in our most recent audited consolidated financial statements have been omitted.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In JanuaryAugust 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, to amend ASC No. 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to more closely align hedge accounting with a company’s risk management strategies, provide additional transparency and understandability of hedge results, as well as to simplify the application of hedge accounting. The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness. Instead, the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness will be recorded in other comprehensive income, and amounts deferred in other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings and presented in the same income statement line item that is used to present the earnings effect of the hedged item when the hedged item affects earnings. This guidance will be effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and for interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted this guidance effective September 30, 2017, which will impact our hedge accounting policy as disclosed above. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.


In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, to simplify the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which had involved determining the fair value of individual assets and liabilities of a reporting unit to measure goodwill. Instead, goodwill impairment will be determined as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying value over its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill. ThisThe guidance will be 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 any goodwill impairment tests performed after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which changed the definition of a business and will now require management to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. When this is the case, the transferred assets and activities areis not a business. This determination is important as the accounting treatment for business combinations and asset acquisitions differs since transactiontransactions costs are expensed in a business combination and capitalized in an asset acquisition. ThisThe guidance will be effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The guidance will be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption. The Company adopted this guidance as of January 1, 2017, on a prospective basis, which results in our leased properties no longer meeting the definition of a business. Therefore, dispositions of leased properties will no longer result in a reduction to goodwill. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which is intended to reduce the existing diversity in practice by addressing eight specific cash flow issues related to how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ThisThe guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those annual periods with early adoption permitted. If early adopted, an entity must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance and does not anticipate that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326), 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. The guidance will be 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. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The guidance became effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and for interim periods within those annual periods. The Company adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2017, which resulted in our election to recognize forfeitures of share-based compensation as they occur. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic(Topic 842), which will require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for the rights and obligations created by all leases with terms of more than one year. Lessor accounting will remain similar to lessor accounting under previous GAAP, while aligning with the FASB's new revenue recognition guidance for non-lease components. The new guidance will also require lessees and lessors to capitalize, as initial direct costs, only those costs that are incurred due to the execution of a lease. Any other costs incurred, including allocated indirect costs, will no longer be capitalized and instead will be expensed as incurred. The guidance will be effective for the Company infor annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and infor interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted, and requires the use of the modified retrospective transition method. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the adoption of this guidance on our financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of financial instruments, including the requirement to measure certain equity investments at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. The guidance will be effective for the Company for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods within those annual periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on our financial statements.


In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic(Topic 606), which provides guidance on revenue recognition and supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Topic 605, Revenue Recognition, most industry-specific guidance and some cost guidance included in Subtopic 605-35, “Revenue Recognition-Construction-Type and Production-Type Contracts.” The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In doing so, companies will need to use more judgment and make more estimates than under current guidance. These judgments include identifying “distinct” performance obligations in multi-element contracts, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price at contract inception, allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation, and determining at contract inception whether the performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time. Since lease contracts under ASC 840, "Leases", are specifically excluded from ASU No. 2014-09’s scope, most of the Company’s rental contract revenue will continue to follow current leasing guidance. We have reviewed our other sources of revenue and identified that the non-lease components (tenant chargebacks and recovery revenue) in our single-family home and office leases will continue being accounted for under ASC 840 until the adoption of ASU 2016-02 beginning January 1, 2019.

As part of ASU No. 2014-09, the FASB issued consequential amendments to other sections, eliminating ASC 360-20, Real Estate Sales and adding ASU No. 2017-05 Other Income-Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, Subtopic 610-20.610-20, "Other Income". Real estate sales to noncustomers will follow new guidance from ASC 610-20, while sales to customers will follow the general revenue guidance in ASC 606. While the Company’s property sales are not part of our ordinary customer activity and will fall under ASC 610-20, there is little economic difference in the accounting for real estate sales to customer versus noncustomer, with exception to presentation of comprehensive income (revenue and expense when sale to customer or gain and loss when sale to noncustomer).

In our initial assessment, the Company’s current accounting policies for tenant chargebacks, recovery revenue, and real estate property sales are aligned with the new revenue recognition principles prescribed by the new guidance. Although we do not expect the new standards to ultimately change the amount or timing of our revenue recognition, the Company will continue to assess the potential effects of ASU No. 2014-09 and ASU No. 2017-05, noting that the underlying principles and processes used to record that revenue are changing under ASC 606 and ASC 610-20. The guidance will be effective for the Company in fiscal years (interim and annual reporting periods) that begin after December 15, 2017, with the option to early adopt.adoption permitted. At that time, the Company may adopt the full retrospective approach or the modified retrospective approach. The Company does not anticipate that adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on our financial statements.


Note 3. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We consider all demand deposits, cashier's checks, money market accounts and certificates of deposit with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits at financial institutions. The combined account balances typically exceed the FDICFederal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage, and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit. We believe that the risk is not significant.
    
Restricted cash primarily consists of funds held related to resident security deposits and cash reserves in accordance with certain loan agreements. 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 as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016:

Single-family properties, net as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, included $30.0$27.5 million and $14.3 million, respectively, related to properties for which the recorded grant deed had not been received. For these properties, the trustee or seller has warranted that all legal rights of ownership have been transferred to us on the date of the sale, but there was a delay for the deeds to be recorded.
 
Depreciation expense related to single-family properties was $69.0$71.2 million and $66.2$67.2 million for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $137.8$208.9 million and $127.0$194.2 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company sold 127107 and 631738 homes, respectively, which generated total net proceeds of $15.7$14.4 million and $39.8$54.2 million, respectively, and resulted in a net gain on sale of $2.2$1.9 million and $1.2$3.1 million,

respectively. Total net proceeds for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, included a $7.0 million note receivable, before a $1.5 million discount, that was recorded during the first quarter of 2017. During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, the Company sold 68453 and 134587 homes, respectively, which generated total net proceeds of $7.9$56.2 million and $15.5$71.9 million, respectively, and resulted in a net gain on sale of $0.7$11.7 million and $0.9$12.6 million, respectively.

Hurricanes Harvey and Irma impacted certain properties in our Houston, Florida and Southeast markets during the third quarter of 2017. Approximately 140 homes sustained major damage and nearly 3,400 homes incurred minor damage, consisting primarily of downed trees and damaged roofs and fences. The Company’s property and casualty insurance policies provide coverage for wind and flood damage, as well as business interruption costs, during the period of remediation and repairs, subject to deductibles and limits. During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized a $12.6 million impairment charge to write down the net book values of the impacted properties, of which we believe it is probable that we will recover an estimated $11.0 million through insurance claims, and accrued $8.5 million of additional repair, remediation and other costs. The $10.1 million of net charges were included in hurricane-related charges, net within the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017. After the $12.6 million impairment charge, the impacted properties had an aggregate net book value of $8.3 million. The impairment charge represents the difference between management’s estimates of the fair values of the impacted properties and their carrying values. The fair values were based on current market prices of the components of the properties that did not sustain damage. As these fair value measurements were estimated using unobservable inputs, we classify them within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.

Note 5. Rent and Other Receivables, Net
 
Included in rent and other receivables, net is an allowance for doubtful accounts of $7.7$9.3 million and $5.7 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively. Also included in rent and other receivables, net, areis $11.0 million of

The operating partnership’sOperating Partnership’s obligations under the exchangeable senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company.

The exchangeable senior notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum and contain an exchange settlement feature, which provides that the exchangeable senior notes may, under certain circumstances, be exchangeable for cash, shares of our Class A common stockshares or a

combination of cash and shares of our Class A common stock,shares, at the option of the operating partnership,Operating Partnership, based on an initial exchange rate of 46.9423 shares of ARPI's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes. Settlements for cash will be paid for by the Operating Partnership, while settlements for the Company's Class A common shares will be issued by AH4R with the Operating Partnership issuing an equivalent number of Class A units to AH4R. The adjusted initial exchange rate would be 53.2795 shares of our Class A common stockshares per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, based on the 1.135 exchange ratio of ARPI shares to our shares resulting from the ARPI Merger.

Credit Facilities
 
During 2016, the Company entered into a $1.0 billion credit agreement, which was subsequently amended in June 2017. The amendment expanded our borrowing capacity on the revolving credit facility to $800.0 million and reduced the term loan facility to $200.0 million. The amendment also lowered our cost of borrowing and provides a more flexible borrowing structure. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility is, at the Company’s election, a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.825% to 1.55% or a base rate (generally determined according to a prime rate or federal funds rate) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.55%.

In each case, the actual margin is determined based on the Company's credit ratings in effect from time to time. Based on current corporate ratings for LIBOR-based borrowings as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the revolving credit facility bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 1.20%, and the term loan facility bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 1.35%. The credit agreement includes an accordion feature allowing the revolving credit facility or the term loan facility to be increased to an aggregate amount not to exceed $1.75 billion, subject to certain conditions. The revolving credit facility matures on June 30, 2021, with two six-month extension options at the Company's election upon payment of an extension fee, and the term loan facility matures on June 30, 2022. No amortization payments are required on the term loan facility prior to the maturity date. The credit agreement requires that we maintain certain financial covenants.

Note 9. 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.

Class A Common Share Offering

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company issued 14,842,982 Class A common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, in an underwritten public offering and concurrent private placement, raising gross proceeds to the Company of $336.5 million after underwriter's discount and before offering costs of approximately $0.4$0.3 million.

The Operating Partnership issued an equivalent number of corresponding Class A units to AH4R in exchange for the net proceeds from the issuance.

At-the-Market Common Share Offering Program
In November 2016, the Company established an “at the market”at-the-market common share offering program under which we maywere able to issue Class A common shares from time to time through various sales agents up to an aggregate of $400.0 million.million (the "Original At-the-Market Program"), which was replaced in August 2017 with an at-the-market common share offering program with a $500.0 million capacity on the same terms (the "At-the-Market Program"). The program was established in order to use the net proceeds from share issuances to repay borrowings against the Company’s revolving credit and term loan facilities, 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 program does not have an expiration date, but may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company issued and sold 0.92.0 million Class A common shares under the Original At-the-Market Program for gross proceeds of $19.4$46.2 million, or $22.75$22.74 per share, and net proceeds of $19.1$45.6 million, after commissions and other expenses of approximately $0.3$0.6 million. The Operating Partnership issued an equivalent number of corresponding Class A units to AH4R in exchange for the net proceeds from the share issuances. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, $276.6$500.0 million remained available for future share issuances under the program.At-the-Market Program.

Share Repurchase Program

In September 2015, the Company announced that our board of trustees approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $300.0 million of our outstanding Class A common 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. In addition,The Operating Partnership funds the excessrepurchases and constructively retires an equivalent number of the purchase price over the par value of shares repurchased is recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.corresponding Class A units. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we did not repurchase and retire any of our Class A common shares. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, we repurchased and retired 6.2 million of our Class A common shares, on a settlement date basis, in accordance with the program at a weighted-average price of $15.44 per share and a total price of $96.0 million. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had a remaining repurchase authorization of $146.7 million under the program.


Participating Preferred Shares
     
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the initial liquidation preference on the Company’s participating preferred shares, as adjusted by an amount equal to 50% of the cumulative change in value of an index based on the purchase prices of single-family properties located in our top 20 markets, for all of the Company’s outstanding 5.0% Series A participating preferred shares, 5.0% Series B participating preferred shares and 5.5% Series C participating preferred shares was $480.0$490.7 million. As of September 30, 2017, the Operating Partnership had a liquidation preference on its corresponding participating preferred units for the same amount.

Conversion of Series A and B Participating Preferred Shares into Class A Common Shares

On October 3, 2017, the Company converted all 5,060,000 shares of the outstanding 5.0% Series A participating preferred shares and all 4,400,000 shares of the outstanding 5.0% Series B participating preferred shares into Class A common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value, in accordance with the conversion terms in the Articles Supplementary. This resulted in 12,398,276 total Class A common shares issued from the conversion, based on a conversion ratio of 1.3106 Class A common shares issued per Series A and B participating preferred share. The Operating Partnership also converted its corresponding Series A and B participating preferred units into Class A units on October 3, 2017. The conversion ratio was calculated by dividing (1) the initial liquidation preference on the Series A and B participating preferred shares, as adjusted by an amount equal to 50% of the cumulative change in value of an index based on the purchase prices of single-family properties located in our top 20 markets, plus unaccrued dividends by (2) the one-day volume weighted-average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Class A common shares on September 27, 2017, the date the Company delivered the required notice of conversion. As a result of the conversion, the Company will record a $27.6 million allocation of income to the Series A and B participating preferred shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2017, which represents the initial liquidation value in excess of initial recorded equity carrying value, due to the bifurcation of the home price appreciation amount as a liability upon issuance. As the Series A and B participating preferred shares were converted into Class A common shares on October 3, 2017, the related participating preferred shares derivative liability was therefore remeasured based on the actual liquidation value at September 30, 2017.

Perpetual Preferred Shares 

During the second quarter ended June 30,of 2017, the Company issued 6,200,000 5.875% Series F cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred shares in an underwritten public offering, raising gross proceeds of $155.0 million before offering costs of approximately $5.2$5.3 million, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The Operating Partnership issued an equivalent number of the same class of perpetual preferred units to AH4R in exchange for the net proceeds from the share issuance.

In JulyDuring the third quarter of 2017, the Company issued 4,600,000 5.875% Series G cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred shares in an underwritten public offering, raising gross proceeds of $115.0 million before offering costs of approximately $4.1 million, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share.

Note 12. Commitments and Contingencies
 
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company had commitments to acquire 354511 single-family properties for an aggregate purchase price of $73.1122.6 million and $8.9$13.7 million in land purchase commitments. As of December 31, 2016, the Company had commitments to acquire 203 single-family properties for an aggregate purchase price of $41.7 million and $3.9 million in land purchase commitments.

As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, the Company had sales in escrow for approximately 188184 and 57 of our single-family properties, respectively, for an aggregate selling priceprices of $20.1$17.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively.


We are involved in various legal and administrative proceedings that are incidental to our business. We believe these matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations upon resolution.

Radian Group Inc. (“Radian”), the indirect parent company of Green River Capital LLC (“GRC”), which has been a service provider that provided certain broker price opinions (“BPO”) to us, disclosed in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2017, that GRC had received a letter in March 2017 from the staff of the SEC stating that it is conducting an investigation captioned “In the Matter of Certain Single Family Rental Securitizations” and requesting information from market participants. Radian disclosed that the letter asked GRC to provide information regarding BPOs that GRC provided on properties included in single family rental securitization transactions (“Securitizations”). On September 13, 2017, we received a letter from the staff of the SEC stating that it is conducting an investigation captioned “In the Matter of Certain Single Family Rental Securitizations.” The letter enclosed a subpoena that requests the production of certain documents and communications related to our Securitizations, including, without limitation, those related to BPOs provided by GRC on properties included in Securitizations. The letter does not allege any violation of law and we are cooperating with the SEC. We understand that other transaction parties in Securitizations have received requests in this matter. We do not believe this matter will have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations upon resolution.

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. The Company’s participating preferred shares derivative liability is the only financial instrument recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Our revolving credit facility, term loan facility, asset-backed securitizations and secured note payable are also financial instruments, which are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as they were estimated by using unobservable inputs. We estimated their fair values by modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instruments and discounting them back to their present values using estimates of current market rates. Our exchangeable senior notes are also financial instruments, which are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as their fair value is 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

(1)The carrying values of the asset-backed securitizations exclude $38.6$37.3 million and $48.4 million of deferred financing costs as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively.
(2)The carrying value of the exchangeable senior notes, net is presented net of an unamortized discount.
(3)As our revolving credit facility bears interest at a floating rate based on an index plus a spread, which is a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.825% to 1.55% or a base rate (generally determined according to a prime rate or federal funds rate) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.55%, management believes that the carrying value of the revolving credit facility reasonably approximates fair value.
(4)The carrying value of the term loan facility excludes $2.0$2.1 million and $3.3 million of deferred financing costs as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, respectively. As our term loan facility bears interest at a floating rate based on an index plus a spread, which is a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.90% to 1.75% or a base rate (generally determined according to a prime rate or federal funds rate) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.75%, management believes that the carrying value of the term loan facility reasonably approximates fair value.

Valuation of the participating preferred shares derivative liability considers scenarios in which the participating preferred shares would be redeemed or converted into Class A common shares by the Company and the subsequent payoffs under those scenarios. The valuation also considers certain variables such as the risk-free rate matching the assumed timing of either redemption or conversion, volatility of the underlying home price appreciation index, dividend payments, conversion rates, the assumed timing of

either redemption or conversion and an assumed drift factor in home price appreciation across certain metropolitan statistical areas, or MSAs, as outlined in the agreement. The Series A and B participating preferred shares were converted into Class A common shares on October 3, 2017, and the related participating preferred shares derivative liability was therefore remeasured based on the actual liquidation value at September 30, 2017 (see Note 9).

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 areThe Company is a Maryland REIT focused on acquiring, renovating, leasing and operating single-family homes as rental properties. The Operating Partnership is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of our business and owns, directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets. We commenced operations in November 2012 to continue the investment activities of AH LLC, which was founded by our chairman, B. Wayne Hughes, in 2011 to take advantage of the dislocation in the single-family home market. Effective August 31, 2016, AH LLC was liquidated and its ownership interests in the operating partnershipOperating Partnership were distributed to its members.
 
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we owned 48,98250,015 single-family properties, in selected sub-markets of MSAs in 22 states, including 582469 properties held for sale, of which 446384 properties were former ARPI properties, compared to 48,422 single-family properties in 22 states, including 1,119 properties held for sale, as of December 31, 2016, and 48,03848,153 single-family properties in 22 states, including 1,5821,238 properties held for sale, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2016. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had commitments to acquire an additional 354511 single-family properties for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $73.1$122.6 million. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, 46,089,46,026, or 95.2%92.9%, of our total properties (excluding held for sale properties) were leased, compared to 44,798, or 94.7%, of our total properties (excluding held for sale properties) as of December 31, 2016, and 44,729,44,746, or 96.3%95.4%, of our total properties (excluding held for sale properties) as of JuneSeptember 30, 2016. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, our portfolio of single-family properties was internally managed through our proprietary property management platform.

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. Key factors that impact our results of operations and financial condition include our ability to identify and acquire properties; our pace of property acquisitions; the time and cost required to gain access to the properties and then to renovate and lease a newly acquired property 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 and Dispositions
 
Since our formation, we have rapidly but systematically grown our portfolio of single-family homes. Our ability to identify and acquire single-family homes that meet our investment criteria is impacted by home prices in our target markets, the inventory of properties available-for-sale through our acquisition channels, competition for our target assets and our available capital. Additionally, opportunities from new construction acquisition channels are impacted by the availability of undeveloped land assets and inventory of homes currently under construction or newly developed. Our level of acquisition activity has fluctuated based on the number of suitable investments and the level of capital available to invest. During the quarter ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, our total portfolio increased by 6461,033 homes, including 467806 homes acquired through broker acquisitions, 241213 homes acquired through trustee acquisitions and 65124 homes acquired through new construction acquisitions, of which 13 homes were developed through our internal construction program, offset by 127110 homes sold or rescinded, of which 8967 properties were former ARPI properties. Rescinded properties represent properties for which the sale has been unwound, as in certain jurisdictions, our purchases of single-family properties at foreclosure and judicial auctions are subject to the right of rescission, which is generally caused by the borrower filing for bankruptcy. Additionally, from July 1, 2017, through July 31, 2017, the Company took our initial delivery of eight homes developed through our internal construction program.
 
Property Operations
 
The acquisition of properties involves 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 $10,000 and $25,000 to renovate a home to prepare it for rental. Renovation work varies, but may include paint, flooring, carpeting, cabinetry, appliances, plumbing hardware and other items required to prepare the home for rental. The time and cost involved in initially accessing our homes to prepare them for rental can impact our financial performance and varies among properties based on several factors, including the source of acquisition channel, whether the property is located in a judicial or non-judicial foreclosure state, if applicable, and whether or not the home is occupied at the time of acquisition. This process of finalizing the acquisition and gaining initial access to the home can range from

immediate access to multiple months and, on average, takes approximately 20 to 30 days. Additionally, after gaining access to the home, the time to renovate a property can vary significantly among properties and is most impacted by the age and condition of the property. On average, it takes approximately 50 to 70 days to complete the renovation process after gaining initial access to the home. 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 completing the renovation process. 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 45 to 55 days to complete the turnover process.
 
Revenue
 
Our revenue is derived primarily from rents collected under lease agreements with tenants for our single-family properties. These include short-term leases that we enter into directly with our tenants, 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 renovate and re-lease 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 $100,000 and primarily consist of families with approximately two adults and one or more children.
 
In addition to rental revenues, we receive fees and other reimbursements, referred to as “tenant charge-backs”, from our tenants, which are primarily designed to recover costs for certain items, such as utilities, damages and maintenance. In accordance with GAAP, these fees and tenant charge-backs are presented gross in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
 
As our total portfolio occupancy is now essentially stabilized, ourOur 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. We believe that our platform will allow us to achieve strong tenant retention and rental rate increases. The average increase in rent for renewals was 3.2%3.6% and 4.1%3.4% and the average increase in rent for re-leases was 6.1%4.9% and 7.5%5.0% for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Based on our Same-Home population of properties, we experienced turnover rates of 11.5%11.1% and 12.5%11.5% for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The average increase in rent for renewals was 3.2%3.3% and 4.1%3.8% and the average increase in rent for re-leases was 5.2%5.1% and 6.3%5.8% for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Based on our Same-Home population of properties, we experienced turnover rates of 20.6%31.7% and 21.3%32.9% for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
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, primarily HOA fees (when applicable); property taxes; insurance; marketing expenses; repairs and maintenance; and turnover costs, which may not be subject to our control.
 
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 the 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 in size. 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. In particular, we have experienced 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. Further, 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.

     
General and Administrative Expense
 
General and administrative expense primarily consists of corporate payroll and personnel costs, trustees’ and officers’ insurance expenses, audit and tax fees, state taxes, 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 loss attributable to common shareholdersincome totaled $0.2$19.1 million or a $0.00 loss per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $10.4$0.2 million or a $0.04 loss per basic and diluted share, for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016. This improvement was primarily attributable to higher revenues lower interest expense and a reduction in depreciation and amortization expense,the remeasurement of our participating preferred shares, partially offset by increaseshurricane-related charges in property operating expenses and preferred dividends,the third quarter of 2017, as well as by a loss on early extinguishment of debt.debt in the third quarter of 2016. Net loss attributable to common shareholdersincome totaled $1.7$46.0 million or a $0.01 loss per basic and diluted share, for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, compared to a net loss attributable to common shareholdersincome of $14.8$1.1 million or a $0.06 loss per basic and diluted share, for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016. This improvement was primarily attributable to higher revenues and lower acquisition fees and costs expensed,interest expense, partially offset by increasesan increase in property operating expenses and preferred dividends,hurricane-related charges in the third quarter of 2017, as well as a gain on the conversion of Series E convertible units into Series D convertible units in the first quarter of 2016.

As we continue to grow our portfolio with a portion of our homes still recently acquired and / or renovated, we distinguish our portfolio of homes between Same-Home properties, Non-Same-Home and Other properties and Former ARPI 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 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 considered stabilized, as an entire group, provided (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 renovations and improvements to meet our property standards. We classify a property as Former ARPI if it was acquired through the ARPI Merger and is not classified as held for sale as of the end of the current period. All other properties, including those classified as held for sale, 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 rents and fees from single-family properties, net of bad debt expense, less core property operating expenses, which is calculated as property operating and property management expenses, for single-family properties, excluding noncash share-based compensation expense, expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs and bad debt expense.

Core NOI also excludes (1) noncash fair value adjustments associated with remeasuring our participating preferred shares derivative liability to fair value, (2) noncash gain or loss on conversion of convertible units, (3) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (4) hurricane-related charges, net, (5) gain or loss on sales of single-family properties and other, (6) depreciation and amortization, (7) acquisition fees and costs expensed incurred with recent business combinations and the acquisition of individual properties, (8) noncash share-based compensation expense, (9) interest expense, (10) general and bad debt expense.administrative expense, (11) other expenses and (12) other revenues. We useconsider Core NOI asto be a primarymeaningful financial measure asbecause we believe it reflectsis helpful to investors in understanding the economic operating performance of our single-family properties without the impact of certain tenant reimbursed operating expenses that are presented gross inreimbursed through tenant charge-backs. We further adjust Core NOI for our Same-Home portfolio by subtracting capital expenditures to calculate Same-Home Core NOI After Capital Expenditures, which we believe is a meaningful supplemental non-GAAP financial measure because it more fully reflects our operating performance after the condensed consolidated statementsimpact of operationsall property-level expenditures, regardless of whether they are capitalized or expensed.

Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI After Capital Expenditures 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 (loss) or net cash flows from operating activities (as computed in accordance with GAAP.GAAP).

Core Revenues
from Same-Home Properties
 
Core revenues from Same-Home properties for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, increased $11.2$14.9 million, or 3.6%3.2%, to $317.6$475.4 million from $306.4$460.5 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016. This rise was primarily attributable to higher average monthly rental rates, which increased to $1,522$1,535 per month as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, compared to $1,476$1,490 per month as of JuneSeptember 30, 2016.
 
Non-Same Home and Other Properties
Core revenues from Non-Same-Home and Other properties were $29.3 million and $18.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in our average number of leased Non-Same-Home and Other properties, which rose to 2,879 leased properties for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from 1,591 leased properties for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

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 excluding noncash share-based compensation expense.
Same-Home Properties
Core property operating expenses from Same-Home properties for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, decreased $2.3$3.4 million, or 2.1%2.0%, to $111.6$169.4 million from $113.9$172.8 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016. Same-Home core property operating expenses as a percentage of total Same-Home core revenues decreased to 35.1%35.6% for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, from 37.2%37.5% for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower property management expenses, and certain property tax reductions, as well as to higher core revenues from Same-Home properties.
Non-Same-Home and Other Properties
Core property operating expenses from Non-Same-Home and Other properties were $11.5 million and $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This increase was primarily attributable to growth in our average number of Non-Same-Home and Other properties, which rose to 3,519 properties for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from 2,035 properties for the six months ended June 30, 2016. Non-Same-Home and Other core property operating expenses as a percentage of total Non-Same-Home and Other core revenues decreased to 39.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, from 43.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. This decrease was primarily attributable to higher core revenues from Non-Same-Home and Other properties.
 
General and Administrative Expense
 
General and administrative expense, which primarily consists of corporate payroll and personnel costs, trustees’ and officers’ insurance expense, audit and tax fees, state taxes, trustee fees and other expenses associated with our corporate and administrative functions, was $18.2$26.7 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, compared to $16.5$24.5 million for the same period in 2016. This increase was primarily related to nonrecurring rating agency fees incurred during the first six months of 2017 associated with the Company receiving inaugural investment grade corporate credit ratings, as well as higher nonrecurring legal costs related to our outstanding securitizations and technology costs. Also included in general and administrative expense was $1.2$1.9 million and $1.1$1.6 million of noncash share-based compensation expense related to corporate administrative employees for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Interest Expense
 
Interest expense was $60.3$86.9 million and $66.5$99.3 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This decrease was primarily due to the payoff of the ARP 2014-SFR1 asset-backed securitization in the third quarter of 2016, the payoff of the AH4R 2014-SFR1 asset-backed securitization in the second quarter of 2017 and increased capitalized interest, partially offset by higher interest expense andan increase in discount amortization on the exchangeable senior notes.

Acquisition Fees and Costs Expensed
 
All costs of our internal acquisition function are expensed in accordance with GAAP. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, acquisition fees and costs expensed totaled $2.5$3.8 million, including $2.1$3.4 million of costs associated with the purchases of single-family properties and $0.4 million of other acquisition fees and costs expensed. For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, acquisition

fees and costs expensed totaled $9.1$10.9 million, including $5.6$6.1 million of transaction costs related to the ARPI Merger and $3.5$4.8 million of other acquisition fees and costs expensed.
 
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 3 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 was $146.7$221.5 million and $149.1$224.5 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. This decrease was attributable to lower amortization related to in-place leases, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense related to growth in our average number of depreciable properties.

Other Revenues

Other revenues totaled $4.0$4.4 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, which included $1.6$1.4 million of equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures, $1.5 million of other income and $0.9$1.0 million of income related to residential mortgage assets.assets and $2.0 million of other income. Other revenues totaled $7.6$12.8 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, which included $6.4$10.6 million of income and gain related to residential mortgage assets, $0.4 million of equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures and $1.2$1.8 million of other income.

Other expenses totaled $3.3$6.5 million for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2016, which included $2.6$5.1 million of expenses related to residential mortgage assets and $0.9$1.5 million related to impairments on properties held for sale, partially offset by a $0.2$0.1 million net recovery of previously accrued expenses.

Hurricane-Related Charges, net

Hurricanes Harvey and Irma impacted certain properties in our Houston, Florida and Southeast markets during the third quarter of 2017. Approximately 140 homes sustained major damage and nearly 3,400 homes incurred minor damage, consisting primarily of downed trees and damaged roofs and fences. The Company’s property and casualty insurance policies provide coverage for wind and flood damage, as well as business interruption costs, during the period of remediation and repairs, subject to deductibles and limits. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized a $12.6 million impairment charge to write down the net book values of the impacted properties, of which we believe it is probable that we will recover an estimated $11.0 million through insurance claims, and accrued $8.5 million of additional repair, remediation and other costs. The $10.1 million of net charges were included in hurricane-related charges, net within the condensed consolidated statement of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Of the $10.1 million of net hurricane-related charges recorded in the period, $5.8 million related to homes in the current Same-Home portfolio. The previously reported Same-Home portfolio has been revised to exclude approximately 100 homes that sustained major damages.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
 
Our critical accounting policies are included in 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, 2016. There have been no significant changes to our policies during the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017. For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see “Note 2—Significant Accounting Policies.”
 
Income Taxes
 
We haveThe Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 to 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), which commenced 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. Accordingly, we will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that we qualify as a REIT and our distributions to our shareholders equal or exceed our REIT taxable income.
 
However, qualification and taxation as a REIT depends 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, our income would be subject to U.S. federal income tax and state income tax (including any applicable alternative minimum 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 taxable income, if any. Our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS") will be subject to federal, state and local taxes on their income at regular corporate rates. The tax years from 2012 through 2016 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 federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Operating Partnership is not subject to federal income tax on our income. Instead, each of our 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 federal income taxes has been included for the Operating Partnership.
 
ASC 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 JuneSeptember 30, 2017, there were no deferred tax assets and liabilities or unrecognized tax benefits recorded.recorded by the Company. We do not anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.
 

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our liquidity and capital resources as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, included cash and cash equivalents of $67.3$243.5 million. Additionally, as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had $92.0 million ofno outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which provides for maximum borrowings of $800.0 million, and $200.0 million of outstanding borrowings under our term loan facility, which provides for maximum borrowings of $200.0 million. From July 1, 2017, through July 31, 2017, the Company paid down $92.0 million on our revolving credit facility, resulting in outstanding balances as of July 31, 2017, of zero and $200.0 million under our revolving credit facility and term loan facility, respectively.
     
Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, maintain our assets, fund our operations, make distributions to our shareholders 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, 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 payment of distributions to our Class A common shareholders.
 
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 and acquisitions to date through the issuance of equity securities, borrowings under our credit facilities and asset-backed securitizations. 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.
 
To qualify as a REIT, we arethe Company is required to distribute annually to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income. We intendThe Operating Partnership funds the payment of distributions. The Company intends to pay quarterly dividendsdistributions to our shareholders and to the Operating Partnership's unitholders, including AH4R, which in the aggregate are approximately equal to or exceed ourthe Company's net taxable income in the relevant year.

Credit Facilities

During 2016, the Company entered into a $1.0 billion credit agreement, which was subsequently amended in June 2017. The amendment expanded our borrowing capacity on the revolving credit facility to $800.0 million and reduced the term loan facility to $200.0 million. The amendment also lowered our cost of borrowing and provides a more flexible borrowing structure. The interest rate on the revolving credit facility is, at the Company’s election, a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.825% to 1.55% or a base rate (generally determined according to a prime rate or federal funds rate) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.55%. Borrowings under the term loan facility accrue interest, at the Company’s election, at either a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.90% to 1.75% or a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.75%. In each case, the actual margin is determined based on the Company's credit ratings in effect from time to time. Based on current corporate ratings for LIBOR-based borrowings as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the revolving credit facility bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 1.20%, and the term loan facility bears interest at 1-month LIBOR plus 1.35%. The revolving credit facility matures on June 30, 2021, with two six-month extension options at the Company's election upon payment of an extension fee, and the term loan facility matures on June 30, 2022. The credit agreement requires that we maintain certain financial covenants. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company had $92.0 millionno outstanding borrowings against the revolving credit facility, $200.0 million of outstanding borrowings against the term loan facility and was in compliance with all loan covenants.

Exchangeable Senior Notes, Net

The exchangeable senior notes are senior unsecured obligations of the operating partnershipOperating Partnership and rank equally in right of payment with all other existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the operating partnership.Operating Partnership. The operating partnership’sOperating Partnership’s obligations under the exchangeable senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The exchangeable senior notes bear interest at a rate of 3.25% per annum and contain an exchange settlement feature, which provides that the exchangeable senior notes may, under certain circumstances, be exchangeable for cash, shares of our Class A common stockshares or a combination of cash and shares of our Class A common stock,shares, at the option of the operating partnership,Operating Partnership, based on an initial exchange rate of 46.9423 shares of ARPI's common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the notes. Settlements for cash will be paid for by the Operating Partnership, while settlements for the Company's Class A common shares will be issued by AH4R with the Operating Partnership issuing an equivalent number of Class A units to AH4R. The adjusted initial exchange rate would be 53.2795 shares of our Class A common stockshares per $1,000 principal amount of the notes, based on the 1.135 exchange ratio of ARPI shares to our shares resulting from the ARPI Merger. The current exchange rate as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, was 55.0193 shares55.1453 of our Class A common stockshares per $1,000 principal amount of the notes.

During the first quarter of 2017, the Company issued 14,842,982 Class A common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, in an underwritten public offering and concurrent private placement, raising gross proceeds to the Company of $336.5 million after underwriter's discount and before offering costs of approximately $0.4$0.3 million. The Operating Partnership issued an

"Atequivalent number of corresponding Class A units to the Market"Company in exchange for the net proceeds from the issuance.

During the third quarter of 2017, the Company issued 13,800,000 Class A common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, in an underwritten public offering, raising gross proceeds of $312.0 million before offering costs of approximately $9.2 million. The Operating Partnership issued an equivalent number of corresponding Class A units to AH4R in exchange for the net proceeds from the issuance.

At-the-Market Common Share Offering Program

In November 2016, the Company established an at-the-market common share offering program under which we were able to issue Class A common shares from time to time through various sales agents up to an aggregate of $400.0 million (the "Original At-the-Market Program"), which was replaced in August 2017 with an at-the-market common share offering program with a $500.0 million capacity on the same terms (the "At-the-Market Program"). During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017, the Company issued and sold 0.92.0 million Class A common shares under the Original At-the-Market Program for gross proceeds of $19.4$46.2 million, or $22.75$22.74 per share, and net proceeds of $19.1$45.6 million, after commissions and other expenses of approximately $0.3 million, under our "at$0.6 million. The Operating Partnership issued an equivalent number of corresponding Class A units to AH4R in exchange for the market" commonnet proceeds from the share offering program.issuances. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, $276.6$500.0 million remained available for future share issuances under the programAt-the-Market Program (see Note 9).

Perpetual Preferred Share Offerings 

During the second quarter ended June 30,of 2017, the Company issued 6,200,000 5.875% Series F cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred shares in an underwritten public offering, raising gross proceeds of $155.0 million before offering costs of approximately $5.2$5.3 million, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The Operating Partnership issued an equivalent number of the same class of perpetual preferred units to AH4R in exchange for the net proceeds from the share issuance.

In JulyDuring the third quarter of 2017, the Company issued 4,600,000 5.875% Series G cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred shares in an underwritten public offering, raising gross proceeds of $115.0 million before offering costs of approximately $4.1 million, with a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share. The Operating Partnership issued an equivalent number of the same class of perpetual preferred units to AH4R in exchange for the net proceeds from the share issuance.

Conversion of Series A and B Participating Preferred Shares into Class A Common Shares

On October 3, 2017, the Company converted all 5,060,000 shares of the outstanding 5.0% Series A participating preferred shares and all 4,400,000 shares of the outstanding 5.0% Series B participating preferred shares into Class A common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value, in accordance with the conversion terms in the Articles Supplementary. This resulted in 12,398,276 total Class A common shares issued from the conversion, based on a conversion ratio of 1.3106 Class A common shares issued per Series A and B participating preferred share. The Operating Partnership also converted its corresponding Series A and B participating preferred units into Class A units on October 3, 2017 (see Note 9).

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
We have no obligations, assets or liabilities that would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements.

Additional Non-GAAP Measures
Core Net Operating Income ("Core NOI") and Same-Home Core NOI After Capital Expenditures    

Core NOI, which we also present separately for our Same-Home portfolio, is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that we define as core revenues from single-family properties, which is calculated as rents and fees from single-family properties, net of bad debt expense, less core property operating expenses, which is calculated as property operating and property management expenses, excluding noncash share-based compensation expense, expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs and bad debt expense. Our Same-Home portfolio consists of our single-family properties that have been stabilized longer than 90 days prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented, and that have not been classified as held for sale or taken out of service as a result of a casualty loss.

Core NOI also excludes (1) noncash fair value adjustments associated with remeasuring our participating preferred shares derivative liability to fair value, (2) noncash gain or loss on conversion of convertible units, (3) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (4) gain or loss on sales of single-family properties and other, (5) depreciation and amortization, (6) acquisition fees and costs expensed incurred with recent business combinations and the acquisition of individual properties, (7) noncash share-based compensation expense, (8) interest expense, (9) general and administrative expense, (10) other expenses and (11) other revenues. We consider Core NOI to be a meaningful financial measure because we believe it is helpful to investors in understanding the operating performance of our single-family properties without the impact of certain operating expenses that are reimbursed through tenant charge-backs. We further adjust Core NOI for our Same-Home portfolio by subtracting capital expenditures to calculate Same-Home Core NOI After Capital Expenditures, which we believe is a meaningful supplemental non-GAAP financial measure because it more fully reflects our operating performance after the impact of all property-level expenditures, regardless of whether they are capitalized or expensed.

Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI After Capital Expenditures 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 (loss) or net cash flows from operating activities (as computed in accordance with GAAP).


The following are reconciliations of core revenues, core property operating expenses, Core NOI, Same-Home Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI After Capital Expenditures to their respective GAAP metrics for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 (amounts in thousands):

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 White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), which defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, 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 adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

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 fees and costs expensed incurred with recent business combinations and the acquisition of individual properties, (2) noncash share-based compensation expense, (3) noncash interest expense related to acquired debt, (4) hurricane-related charges, net, (5) gain or loss on early

extinguishment of debt, (5)(6) noncash gain or loss on conversion of convertible units and (6)(7) noncash fair value adjustments associated with remeasuring our participating preferred shares derivative liability to fair value.

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) actual leasing costs incurred during the period. As a portion of our homes are recently acquired and / or renovated, we estimate recurring capital expenditures for our entire portfolio by multiplying (a) current period actual capital expenditures per Same-Home property by (b) our total number of properties, excluding non-stabilized and held for sale properties.

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 analysts in evaluating the Company. We believe that FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a helpful measure of a REIT’s performance since 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 are helpful to investors as supplemental measures of the operating performance of the Company as 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 cash flow provided by operating activities, 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.

EBITDA / Adjusted EBITDA

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. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adjusting EBITDA for (1) acquisition fees and costs expensed incurred with recent business combinations and the acquisition of individual properties, (2) net gain or loss on sales / impairment of single-family properties and other, (3) noncash share-based compensation expense, (4) hurricane-related charges, net, (5) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (5)(6) gain or loss on conversion of convertible units and (6)(7) noncash fair value adjustments associated with remeasuring our participating preferred shares derivative liability to fair value. We consider Adjusted EBITDA to be a meaningful financial measure of operating performance because it excludes 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
 
The primary market risk to which we believe we are exposed is interest rate risk, which may result from many factors, including government monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control. We may incur additional variable rate debt in the future, including additional amounts that we may borrow under our revolving credit and term loan facilities. In addition, decreases in interest rates may lead to additional competition for the acquisition of single-family homes, which may lead to future acquisitions being costlier and resulting in lower yields on single-family homes targeted for acquisition. Significant increases in interest rates may also have an adverse impact on our earnings if we are unable to acquire single-family homes with rental rates high enough to offset the increase in interest rates on our borrowings.
 
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016, our variable-rate debt was comprised of borrowings on our revolving credit facility of $92.0 million and zero, respectively, our term loan facility of $200.0 million and $325.0 million, respectively, and the outstanding balance on the AH4R 2014-SFR1 securitization of zero and $456.1 million, respectively.  All borrowings under our revolving credit facility bear interest at a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.825% to 1.55% or a base rate (generally determined according to a prime rate or federal funds rate) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.55% until the fully extended maturity date of June 2022. All borrowings under our term loan facility bear interest at a LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 0.90% to 1.75% or a base rate (generally determined according to a prime rate or federal funds rate) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.75% until the maturity date of June 2022. The AH4R 2014-SFR1 securitization, which was paid off in full during the second quarter of 2016, had a duration-weighted blended interest rate of 1-month LIBOR plus 1.54%. Assuming no change in the outstanding balance of our existing variable-rate debt, the following table illustrates the effect of a 100 basis point increase or decrease in the LIBOR rate on our projected annual interest expense as of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):
June 30, 2017 December 31, 2016 September 30, 2017 December 31, 2016

(1)Calculation of additional projected annual interest expense as a result of a 100 basis point increase reflects the potential impact of our interest rate cap agreement as of December 31, 2016.
(2)Calculation of projected decrease in annual interest expense as a result of a 100 basis point decrease is reflective of any LIBOR floors or minimum interest rates stated in the agreements of respective borrowings.
 
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.
 
ITEM 4.                        Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintainThe 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.

Our development activities expose us to additional real estate risks, which may adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.

We currently plan to expand our development activities, including the acquisition of land and construction of homes. There are significant risks involved in rental home construction, such as delays or cost increases due to changes in or failure to meet regulatory requirements, including permitting and zoning regulations, failure of lease rentals on newly-constructed properties to achieve anticipated investment returns, inclement weather, unforeseen site conditions or shortages of suitable land, construction materials and labor. In addition, we rely on contractors and subcontractors to construct our homes. In some cases, subcontractors may use improper construction processes or defective materials that may require extensive repairs and delay our ability to lease the homes. These repair costs may be significant if we are unable to recover the costs from our subcontractors, materials suppliers and insurers. Delays in completion and leasing our homes may adversely impact anticipated revenues, cash flows and realization of anticipated investment returns.
Item 2.                                Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
On September 21, 2015, the Company announced that our Board of Trustees approved a share repurchase program authorizing us to repurchase up to $300.0 million of our outstanding Class A common 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. We did not repurchase any of our Class A common shares during the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2017. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2017, we had a remaining repurchase authorization of $146.7 million under the program.
