Chief Executive Officer Dallas Tanner comments:

"We're pleased to report second quarter results that demonstrate strong progress for the first half of 2023. Robust demand for our homes continued into the peak leasing season, with Same Store Average Occupancy remaining high at 97.6% and Same Store blended rental rate growth at 7.0% year over year. As a result of solid year-to-date execution by our teams and our continued expectations that supply and demand fundamentals will remain favorable, we are raising our 2023 full year guidance, including an increase of 25 basis points at the midpoint for our Same Store NOI growth guidance and an increase of $0.01 at the midpoint for our Core FFO per share and AFFO per share guidance.

"In addition, we're excited by our recent portfolio acquisition that adds nearly 1,900 homes that are among the best located and highest quality within our portfolio today. We believe this acquisition's attractive entry point and high-growth outlook align well with our disciplined investment approach, providing further evidence of the benefits of our multichannel acquisition strategy, industry-leading scale, and best-in-class platform. Looking ahead, we believe these newly acquired homes will help drive strong NOI growth and value creation, and we remain committed as ever to sourcing focused and value-additive external growth opportunities."

Same Store NOI

For the Same Store Portfolio of 76,593 homes, Same Store NOI for Q2 2023 increased 3.6% year over year on Same Store Core Revenues growth of 5.9% and Same Store Core Operating Expenses growth of 11.2%.

YTD 2023 Same Store NOI increased 4.4% year over year on Same Store Core Revenues growth of 6.9% and Same Store Core Operating Expenses growth of 12.5%.

Same Store Core Revenues

Same Store Core Revenues growth for Q2 2023 of 5.9% year over year was primarily driven by a 7.4% increase in Average Monthly Rent and a 7.3% increase in other income, net of resident recoveries, partially offset by a 40 basis points year over year decline in Average Occupancy and a 100 basis points year over year increase in Bad Debt as a percentage of gross rental revenue. Bad Debt was 1.5% of gross rental revenue for Q2 2023, an improvement of approximately 50 basis points from Q1 2023 as a result of continued progress in working through the Company's lease compliance backlog.

YTD 2023 Same Store Core Revenues growth of 6.9% year over year was primarily driven by a 7.9% increase in Average Monthly Rent and a 7.5% increase in other income, net of resident recoveries, partially offset by a 40 basis point year over year decline in Average Occupancy and a 60 basis point year over year increase in Bad Debt as a percentage of gross rental revenue.

Same Store Core Operating Expenses

Same Store Core Operating Expenses for Q2 2023 increased 11.2% year over year. The largest contributors to the year over year increase include an increase in property tax expense due to an expected year over year increase in property taxes in addition to the underaccrual of property tax expense in the first three quarters of 2022, as well as an increase in turnover expenses, net of resident recoveries, and an increase in utilities and property administrative expenses, net of resident recoveries. The increases in the latter two expense categories were expected primarily as a result of continued progress in working through the Company's lease compliance backlog.

YTD 2023 Same Store Core Operating Expenses increased 12.5% year over year, primarily driven by the year over year increases described above.

Investment Management Activity

Acquisitions for Q2 2023 totaled 276 homes for $88 million, primarily sourced from the Company's builder partners. This included 188 wholly owned homes for $61 million in addition to 88 homes for $27 million in the Company's joint ventures. Dispositions for Q2 2023 included 361 wholly owned homes for gross proceeds of $134 million and 17 homes for gross proceeds of $7 million in the Company's joint ventures.

Year to date through June 30, 2023, the Company acquired 470 homes for $155 million, including 369 wholly owned homes for $123 million and 101 homes for $32 million in the Company's joint ventures. The company also sold 675 homes for $242 million, including 645 wholly owned homes for $229 million and 30 homes for $13 million in the Company's joint ventures.

Subsequent to quarter end on July 18, 2023, the Company acquired a premier portfolio of nearly 1,900 homes for approximately $650 million (the "Portfolio Acquisition"). Additional details of the transaction will be discussed on tomorrow's earnings conference call.

Balance Sheet and Capital Markets Activity

As of June 30, 2023, the Company had $1,414 million in available liquidity through a combination of unrestricted cash and undrawn capacity on its revolving credit facility. The Company's total indebtedness as of June 30, 2023 was $7,823 million, consisting of $5,775 million of unsecured debt and $2,048 million of secured debt. Net debt / TTM adjusted EBITDAre was 5.3x at June 30, 2023, down from 5.7x as of December 31, 2022.

Subsequent to quarter end on July 18, 2023, the Company funded the Portfolio Acquisition primarily with cash on hand, with the remainder funded by the Company's previously undrawn revolving credit facility.

FY 2023 Guidance Update

The Company does not provide guidance for the most comparable GAAP financial measures of net income (loss), total revenues, and property operating and maintenance expense. Additionally, a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures of Core FFO per share, AFFO per share, Same Store Core Revenues growth, Same Store Core Operating Expenses growth, and Same Store NOI growth to the comparable GAAP financial measures cannot be provided without unreasonable effort because the Company is unable to reasonably predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures, including non-recurring and infrequent items that are not indicative of the Company's ongoing operations. Such items include, but are not limited to, impairment on depreciated real estate assets, net (gain)/loss on sale of previously depreciated real estate assets, share-based compensation, casualty loss, non-Same Store revenues, and non-Same Store operating expenses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on the Company's GAAP results for the guidance period.
