Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2023

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

NOTE 1: Organization

Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (“IRT”), is a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which was formed on March 26, 2009. Our primary purposes are to acquire, own, operate, improve and manage multifamily apartment communities in non-gateway markets. As of March 31, 2023, we owned and operated 119 (unaudited) multifamily apartment properties that contain 35,249 (unaudited) units across non-gateway U.S. markets including Atlanta, Columbus, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Nashville, Oklahoma City, Raleigh-Durham, and Tampa. In addition, as of March 31, 2023, we owned interests in five unconsolidated joint ventures that are developing multifamily apartment communities. We own all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our operations through Independence Realty Operating Partnership, LP (“IROP”), of which we are the sole general partner.

As used herein, the terms “we,” “our” and “us” refer to IRT and, as required by context, IROP and their subsidiaries.

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our condensed consolidated financial position and condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows are included. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date its financial statements were issued. No significant recognized or non-recognized subsequent events were noted other than those described in the footnotes.

b. Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our accounts and the accounts of IROP and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, “Consolidation”, IROP is considered a variable interest entity of which we are the primary beneficiary. As our significant asset is our investment in IROP, substantially all of our assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities of IROP.

c. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

d. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash, including amounts restricted, may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance limit of $250 per institution. We mitigate credit risk by placing cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. To date, we have not experienced any losses on cash and cash equivalents.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2023

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

e. Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes escrows of our funds held by lenders to fund certain expenditures, such as real estate taxes and insurance, or to be released at our discretion upon the occurrence of certain pre-specified events. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $22,385 and $27,933, respectively, of restricted cash.

f. Investments in Real Estate

Investments in real estate are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs, including internal costs, that both add value and appreciably extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Investments in real estate are classified as held for sale in the period in which certain criteria are met including when the sale of the asset is probable, and actions required to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan of sale will be made or the plan of sale will be withdrawn.

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 (“ASC 805”), we evaluate our real estate acquisitions to determine if they should be accounted for as a business or as a group of assets. The evaluation includes an initial screen to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets. If the screen is met, the acquisition is not a business. The properties we have acquired met the screen test and are accounted for as asset acquisitions. Under asset acquisition accounting, the costs to acquire real estate, including transaction costs related to the acquisition, are accumulated and then allocated to the individual assets and liabilities acquired based upon their relative fair value. Transaction costs and fees incurred related to the financing of an acquisition are capitalized and amortized over the life of the related financing.

We estimate the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building and improvements), identified intangible assets (consisting of in-place leases), and assumed debt at the date of acquisition, based on the evaluation of information and estimates available at that date.

The aggregate value of in-place leases is determined by evaluating various factors, including the terms of the leases that are in place and assumed lease-up periods. The value assigned to these intangible assets is amortized over the assumed lease up period, typically six months. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not acquire any in-place leases. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $399 and $29,082, respectively, of amortization for intangible assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we wrote-off fully amortized intangible assets of $1,099 and $0, respectively.

Business Combinations

For properties we acquire or transactions we enter into that are accounted for as business combinations, we apply the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805, which requires the identification of the acquiror, the determination of the acquisition date, and the recognition and measurement, at fair value, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. To the extent that the fair value of net assets acquired differs from the fair value of consideration paid, ASC 805 requires the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase price, if any. Our merger with Steadfast Apartment REIT, Inc. on December 16, 2021 was accounted for as a business combination. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred merger and integration costs of $0 and $1,895, respectively. These amounts were expensed as incurred, and are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the item titled “Merger and integration costs”, and primarily consist of advisory fees, employee severance costs, and attorney fees.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of our investment in real estate assets, including related identifiable intangible assets, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”. This statement requires that

9

Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2023

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that recoverability of the assets is not assured.

Management reviews our long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value when there is an indicator of impairment. An impairment charge is recorded when it is determined that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value. The estimated cash flows used for the impairment analysis and the determination of estimated fair value are based on our plans for the respective assets (e.g., hold period) and our views of market and economic conditions. The estimates consider matters such as current and historical rental rates, occupancies for the respective and/or comparable properties, and recent sales data for comparable properties. Changes in estimated future cash flows due to changes in our plans or views of market and economic conditions could result in recognition of impairment losses, which, under the applicable accounting guidance, could be substantial. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not incur an impairment charge.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense for real estate assets is computed using a straight-line method based on a life of 40 years for buildings and improvements and five to ten years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $52,887 and $49,092 of depreciation expense, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we wrote-off fully depreciated fixed assets of $2,920 and $1,160, respectively.

Casualty Related Costs

Occasionally, we incur losses at our communities from wind storms, floods, fires and similar hazards. Sometimes, a portion of these losses are not fully covered by our insurance policies due to deductibles. In these cases, we estimate the carrying value of the damaged property and record a casualty loss for the difference between the estimated carrying value and the insurance proceeds. Any amount of insurance recovery in excess of the amount of the losses incurred is considered a gain contingency and is recorded in casualty losses (gains), net when the proceeds are received. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $151 of casualty losses and $1,393 of net casualty gains, respectively.

g. Investments in Real Estate Under Development

We capitalize direct and indirect project costs incurred during the development period such as construction, insurance, architectural, legal, interest costs, and real estate taxes. At such time as the development is considered substantially complete, the capitalization of certain indirect costs such as real estate taxes, interest costs, and all project-related costs in real estate under development are reclassified to investments in real estate. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $1,454 and $301, respectively, of capitalized interest expense, on our investments in real estate under development.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of our two investments in real estate under development in Denver, Colorado totaled $124,983 and $105,518, respectively, and was recorded as a separate line item in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

h. Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

We have entered into joint ventures with unrelated third parties to acquire, develop, own, operate, and manage real estate assets. Our joint ventures are funded with a combination of debt and equity. We will consolidate entities that we control as well as any variable interest entity where we are the primary beneficiary. Under the VIE model, we will consolidate an entity when we have the ability to direct the activities of the VIE and the obligations to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the voting model, we consolidate an entity when we control the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest. We separately analyzed the initial accounting for each investment in unconsolidated entity and concluded that each is a voting interest entity and is not a VIE. Our equity interest varies for each joint venture between 50% and 90% but, in each case, we share control of the major decisions that most significantly impact the joint ventures with our partners. Since we do not control the joint venture through our ownership interest, they are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and are included in investments in

unconsolidated real estate entities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are carried at cost plus our share of net earnings or losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $1,006 and $210, respectively, of capitalized interest expense, on our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

i. Revenue and Expenses

Rental and Other Property Revenue

We apply FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”) with respect to our accounting for rental income. We primarily lease apartment units under operating leases generally with terms of one year or less. Rental payments are generally due monthly and rental revenues are recognized on an accrual basis when earned. We have elected to account for lease (i.e. fixed payments including base rent) and non-lease components (i.e. tenant reimbursements and certain other service fees) as a single combined operating lease component since (1) the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and non-lease components is the same, (2) the lease component is the predominant element, and (3) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease.

We make ongoing estimates of the collectability of our base rents, tenant reimbursements, and other service fees included within rental and other property revenue. If collectability is not probable, we adjust rental and other property income for the amount of uncollectible revenue.

j. Derivative Instruments

We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. While these instruments may impact our periodic cash flows, they benefit us by minimizing the risks and/or costs previously described. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions with which we and our affiliates may also have other financial relationships. In the event of nonperformance by the counterparties, we are potentially exposed to credit loss. However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, we do not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, we measure each derivative instrument at fair value and record such amounts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income and changes in the fair value of the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges, if any, are recognized in earnings. For derivatives not designated as hedges, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in earnings. Any derivatives that we designate in hedge relationships are done so at inception. At inception, we determine whether or not the derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in the designated interest rate risk associated with the identified indebtedness using regression analysis. At each reporting period, we update our regression analysis and use the hypothetical derivative method to measure any ineffectiveness.

k. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity for disclosure purposes. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and

(Unaudited and dollars in thousands, except share and per share data)

Disclosures” and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

•Level 1: Valuations are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The types of assets carried at Level 1 fair value generally are equity securities listed in active markets. As such, valuations of these investments do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

•Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Given that cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are short term in nature with limited fair value volatility, the carrying amount is deemed to be a reasonable approximation of fair value and the fair value input is classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement. The fair value input for derivatives is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our unsecured credit facility, term loans, and mortgage indebtedness is based on a discounted cash flows valuation technique. As this technique utilizes current credit spreads, which are generally unobservable, this is classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy. We determine appropriate credit spreads based on the type of debt and its maturity. There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The following table summarizes the carrying amount and the fair value of our financial instruments as of the periods indicated:

	As of March 31, 2023				As of December 31, 2022
Financial Instrument	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	12,448	$	12,448	$	16,084	$	16,084

m. Office Leases

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases”, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet at the lease commencement date for all leases, except those leases with terms of less than a year. We lease corporate office space under leases with terms of up to 10 years and that may include extension options, but that do not include any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. As of March 31, 2023, we had $2,914 of operating lease right-of-use assets and $3,237 of operating lease liabilities related to our corporate office leases. The operating lease right-of-use assets are presented within other assets and the operating lease liabilities are presented within other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We recorded $210 and $461 of total operating lease expense during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which is recorded within property management expense and general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

n. Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT. Accordingly, we recorded no income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders; however, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify and maintain treatment as a REIT and intend to operate in such a manner so that we will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

o. Employee Retention Credit

Under the terms of the March 27, 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), we were eligible and applied for assistance in the form of a refundable employee retention credit. Since applicable GAAP guidance is limited, we adopted an accounting policy, in accordance with GAAP, by analogizing to International Accounting Standard 20 “Accounting for Government Grants” to recognize employee retention credits as a reimbursement of payroll related expenses within property operating expenses, property management expenses, and general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, we received employee retention credit refunds totaling $6,238 and recognized $3,006 in reimbursements of previously paid employer payroll taxes and retention costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The remainder is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be recognized on a systematic basis through December 2023 as a reimbursement of payroll related expenses attributable to off-cycle compensation increases awarded to employees beginning in July 2022 and intended to support employee retention during the pandemic and its ongoing effect on the macroeconomic environment. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized reimbursements of payroll related expenses of $788 in property operating expenses, $195 in property management expenses and $74 in general and administrative expenses.

p. Restructuring Costs

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we reorganized certain departments in the organization impacting a limited number of employees. The impacted employees were provided severance packages that included cash severance payments and the accelerated vesting of performance share units and restricted stock awards, as applicable. In accordance with ASC 712 “Compensation – Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits”, we recognized the full amount of restructuring costs of $3,213 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which was presented in the restructuring costs line on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

q. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Below is a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Adopted Within these Financial Statements

In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 848, “Reference Rate Reform.” The amendments in this update contain practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASC 848 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (“ASU 2022-06”) which was issued to defer the sunset date of Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform to December 31, 2024. ASU 2022-06 is effective immediately for all companies. ASU 2022-06 has no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023. R

NOTE 6: Derivative Financial Instruments

The following table summarizes the aggregate notional amounts and estimated net fair values of our derivative instruments as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

	As of March 31, 2023						As of December 31, 2022
	Notional		Fair Value of Assets		Fair Value of Liabilities		Notional		Fair Value of Assets		Fair Value of Liabilities
Cash flow hedges:
Interest rate swaps	$	500,000	$	21,425	$	2,283	$	300,000	$	26,099	$	—
Interest rate collars	250,000		6,474		—		250,000		8,317		—
Forward interest rate collars	200,000		4,884		—		200,000		6,693		—
Total	$	950,000	$	32,783	2,283		$	750,000	$	41,109	$	—

Effective interest rate swaps and caps are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, and the fair value of these hedge agreements is recorded as derivative assets or liabilities on the face of our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For our interest rate swaps and collars that are considered highly effective hedges, we reclassified realized (gains) losses of ($3,377) and $2,120 to earnings within interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and we expect gains of $16,069 to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income to earnings over the next 12 months.

On March 16, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap contract with a notional value of $200,000, a strike rate of 3.39% and a maturity date of March 17, 2030. We designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge at inception and determined that the hedge is highly effective in offsetting interest rate fluctuations associated with the identified indebtedness.

NOTE 7: Stockholders' Equity and Noncontrolling Interests

Stockholders’ Equity

On March 14, 2023, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.14 per share on our common stock, which

was paid on April 21, 2023 to common stockholders of record as of March 31, 2023.

On May 18, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program (the "Stock Repurchase Program") covering up to $250,000 in shares of our common stock. Under the Stock Repurchase Program, we, in our discretion, may purchase our shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of the purchases will depend on a number of factors, including the price and availability of our shares, trading volumes and general market conditions. The Stock Repurchase Program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had no repurchases of shares under the Stock Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2023, we had $250,000 in shares of our common stock remaining authorized for purchase under the Stock Repurchase Program.

On November 13, 2020, we entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which we may from time to time offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150,000 (the “ATM Program”) in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under the ATM Program, we may also enter into one or more forward sale transactions for the sale of shares of our common stock on a forward basis. There were no forward sale transactions that had not settled as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to approximately $56,836 remained available for issuance under the ATM Program.

Noncontrolling Interest

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, holders of IROP units exchanged 144,600 units for 144,600 shares of our common stock. As of March 31, 2023, 5,946,571 IROP units held by unaffiliated third parties remain outstanding.

On March 14, 2023, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.14 per unit, which was paid on April 21,

2023 to IROP LP unit holders of record as of March 31, 2023.

NOTE 8: Equity Compensation Plans

Long Term Incentive Plan

On May 18, 2022, our stockholders approved our 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan which provides for grants of equity and equity-based awards to our employees, officers, directors, consultants and other service providers, and such awards may take the form of restricted or unrestricted shares of common stock, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs"), stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other equity and cash-based awards. A maximum of 8,000,000 shares of our common stock (plus up to an additional 1,280,610 shares of our common stock, to the extent that shares subject to outstanding awards under the prior plan are recycled into the 2022 Incentive Plan) may be awarded, subject to customary adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar corporate events or transactions affecting shares of our common stock.

Under the Incentive Plan, we have granted restricted shares, RSUs, and PSUs. These awards generally vest or vested over a two-to four-year period. In addition, we have granted unrestricted shares to our non-employee directors. These awards generally vest or vested immediately. A summary of restricted common share award and RSU activity is presented below.

	2023
	Number  of  Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Balance, January 1,	395,482	$	18.67
Granted	233,992	19.10
Vested	(163,557)	17.42
Forfeited	(18,091)	19.34
Balance, March 31,(1)	447,826	$	19.32

(1) The outstanding award balances above include 173,567 and 163,348 RSUs as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

On February 7, 2023, our compensation committee awarded 216,795 PSUs to our executive officers. The number of PSUs earned will be based on attainment of certain performance criteria over a three-year period, with the actual number of shares issuable ranging between 0% and 150% of the number of PSUs granted. Half of any PSUs earned will vest, and shares will be issued in respect thereof, immediately following the end of the three-year performance period; the remaining half of any PSUs earned will vest, and shares will be issued in respect thereof, after an additional one-year period of service.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, a portion of the RSUs and PSUs granted were issued to employees who are retirement eligible. The fact that the grantees are retirement eligible resulted in immediate recognition of the associated stock-based compensation expense totaling $2,677 and $2,422, respectively.

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business operations. Matters which arise out of allegations of bodily injury, property damage, and employment practices are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Loss Contingencies

We record an accrual for loss contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Management reviews these accruals quarterly and makes revisions based on changes in facts and circumstances. When a loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, management does not accrue the loss. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of an earlier accrual) is at least a reasonable possibility and material, then management discloses a reasonable estimate of the possible loss, or range of loss, if such reasonable estimate can be made. If we cannot make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss, or range of loss, then a statement to that effect is disclosed.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

The Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), encourages companies to disclose forward-looking information so that investors can better understand a company’s future prospects and make informed investment decisions. This report contains or incorporates by reference such “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Words such as “anticipates,” “estimates,” “expects,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes” and words and terms of similar substance used in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial performance identify forward-looking statements.

We claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements provided in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements may be made directly in this report and they may also be incorporated by reference in this report to other documents filed with the SEC, and include, without limitation, statements about future financial and operating results and performance, statements about our plans, objectives, expectations and intentions with respect to future operations, products and services, and other statements that are not historical facts. These forward-looking statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond our control. In addition, these forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions with respect to future business strategies and decisions that are subject to change. Actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results discussed in these forward-looking statements.

The risk factors discussed and identified in Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report, and in other of our public filings with the SEC, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations expressed in the forward-looking statements. We caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report.

Overview

Our Company

We are a self-administered and self-managed Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), that acquires, owns, operates, improves and manages multifamily apartment communities across non-gateway U.S. markets. As of March 31, 2023, we owned and operated 119 multifamily apartment properties that contain 35,249 units. Our properties are located in Alabama, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. In addition, as of March 31, 2023, we owned interests in five unconsolidated joint ventures that are developing multifamily apartment communities that will contain, in aggregate, 1,641 units upon completion. We do not have any foreign operations and our business is not seasonal.

Our Business Objective and Investment Strategies

Our primary business objective is to maximize stockholder value through diligent portfolio management, strong operational performance, and a consistent return of capital through distributions and capital appreciation. Our investment strategy is focused on the following:

•gaining scale within key amenity rich submarkets of non-gateway cities that offer good school districts, high-quality retail and major employment centers and are unlikely to experience substantial new apartment construction in the foreseeable future;

•increasing cash flows at our existing apartment properties through prudent property management and strategic renovation projects; and

•acquiring additional properties that have strong and stable occupancies and support a rise in rental rates or that have the potential for repositioning through capital expenditures or tailored management strategies.

Current Developments

Capital Recycling

Our capital recycling program consists of disposing of assets in markets where we lack scale and/or markets where management believes that growth is slowing.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we sold one multifamily apartment community for a gross sales price of $37.3 million and recognized a gain on sale of $1.0 million. Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce indebtedness.

Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

To create another avenue for accretive capital allocation and to increase our options for capital investment, we partner with developers through preferred equity investments and joint venture relationships focused on new multifamily development.

No new investments in unconsolidated real estate entities were made during the three months ended March 31, 2023. However, we continued to fund commitments to our existing investments in unconsolidated real estate entities. The 199-unit development at The Crockett was completed during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and we have one year from the delivery date to exercise our purchase option on The Crockett. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had investments in unconsolidated real estate of $92,882 and $80,220, respectively.

Value Add

Our value add program provides us with the opportunity to improve long-term growth through targeted unit renovations at communities where there is the potential for outsized rent growth.

We completed renovations on 635 units during the quarter ended March 31, 2023. From inception of our value add program in January 2018 through March 31, 2023, we completed renovations on 5,951 of the 11,856 ongoing and completed units currently in our value add program, achieving a return on investment of 19.1% (and approximately 20.9% on the interior portion of such renovation costs). We compute return on cost by using the rent premium per unit per month, multiplied by 12, divided by the applicable renovation costs per unit and we compute the rent premium as the difference between the rental rate on the renovated unit and the market rent for a comparable unrenovated unit as of the date presented, as determined by management consistent with its customary rent-setting and evaluation procedures.

Capital Markets

New Swap Agreement

On March 16, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap contract with a notional value of $200,000, a strike rate of 3.39% and a maturity date of March 17, 2030. We designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge at inception and determined that the hedge is highly effective in offsetting interest rate fluctuations associated with the identified indebtedness.

Revenue

Rental and other property revenue. Revenue from rental and other property revenue of the consolidated portfolio increased $11.2 million to $161.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $150.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a $11.0 million increase in same-store rental and other property revenue driven by a 10.8% increase in average effective monthly rents compared to the prior year period.

Expenses

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses increased $3.4 million to $59.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $55.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The increase was due to a $3.5 million increase in same-store property operating expense, primarily due to an increase in repairs and maintenance.

Property management expenses. Property management expenses increased $0.8 million to $6.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to inflationary pressures which led to increases in salaries, employee stock compensation, IT support services, and software licenses compared to the prior year.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses increased $0.2 million to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This increase was primarily due to inflationary pressures which led to increases in employee stock compensation and professional services compared to the prior year.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $24.6 million to $53.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $78.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower intangible asset amortization expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 because of the intangible assets acquired in the merger with Steadfast Apartment REIT, Inc. being fully amortized.

Loss from investments in unconsolidated real estate entities. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized $0.8 million of losses on investments in unconsolidated real estate, which was primarily driven by our $0.5 million portion of depreciation and amortization recognized by the unconsolidated real estate entities.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $1.6 million to $22.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 from $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to higher interest rates impacting our variable rate loans.

Gain on sale of real estate assets, net. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, one multi-family property was sold resulting in a gain of $1.0 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, four multi-family properties were sold resulting in gains of $94.7 million.

Restructuring costs. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we incurred approximately $3.2 million of severance costs related to the reorganization of certain departments that impacted a limited number of employees.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from Operations (FFO) and Core Funds from Operations (CFFO)

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

24

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

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

Set forth below is a reconciliation of net income to FFO and CFFO for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except share and per share information):

Same-Store Portfolio Net Operating Income

We believe that Net Operating Income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding interest expenses, depreciation and amortization, casualty related costs and gains, property management expenses, general and administrative expense, net gains on sale of assets, merger and integration costs, and restructuring costs. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income insofar as the measure reflects only operating income and expense at the property level. We use NOI to evaluate performance on a same-store and non same-store basis because NOI measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses, financing expenses, and other items not related to property operating performance and captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

Same-Store Properties and Same-Store Portfolio

We review our same-store portfolio at the beginning of each calendar year. Properties are added into the same-store portfolio if they were owned at the beginning of the previous year. Properties that are held-for-sale or have been sold are excluded from the same-store portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity is a measure of our ability to meet potential cash requirements, including ongoing commitments to repay borrowings, fund and maintain investments, pay distributions and other general business needs. We believe our available cash balances, financing arrangements and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to fund our liquidity requirements with respect to our existing portfolio for the next twelve months and the foreseeable future.

Our primary cash requirements are to:

•make investments to continue our value add initiatives to improve the quality and performance of our properties;

•repay our indebtedness;

•fund costs necessary to maintain our properties;

•continue funding our current real estate developments until completion;

•pay our operating expenses; and

•distribute a minimum of 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gain) and to make investments in a manner that enables us to maintain our qualification as a REIT.

We intend to meet our liquidity requirements primarily through a combination of one or more of the following:

•the use of our cash and cash equivalents of $12.4 million as of March 31, 2023;

•existing and future unsecured financing, including advances under our unsecured credit facility, and financing secured directly or indirectly by the apartment properties in our portfolio;

•cash generated from operating activities;

27

•net cash proceeds from property sales, including sales undertaken as part of our capital recycling strategy and other sales; and

•proceeds from the sales of our common stock and other equity securities, including common stock that may be sold under our ATM program.

Cash Flows

As of March 31, 2023 and 2022, we maintained cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash of approximately $34.8 million and $50.8 million, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents were generated from the following activities (dollars in thousands):

	For the Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023		2022
Cash flow provided by operating activities	$	46,911	$	40,580
Cash flow (used in) provided by investing activities	(19,521)		127,066
Cash flow used in financing activities	(36,574)		(182,557)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash	(9,184)		(14,911)
Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash, beginning of period	44,017		65,671
Cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash, end of the period	$	34,833	$	50,760

Our cash inflows from operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were primarily driven by ongoing operations of our properties.

Our cash outflows from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were primarily due to $29.0 million of capital expenditures, $13.4 million of investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, and $12.7 million of investments in real estate under development, partially offset by $35.6 million of proceeds from one property disposition. Our cash inflows from investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were primarily due to $155.6 million of proceeds from four property dispositions and proceeds from insurance claims of $9.9 million, partially offset by $18.6 million of investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, $11.8 million of capital expenditures and $8.0 million of investments in real estate under development.

Our cash outflows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2023 were primarily due to payment of dividends on our common stock and noncontrolling interests of $32.5 million. Our cash outflows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 were primarily due to a $176.0 million paydown of the unsecured revolver and $17.1 million payment of dividends on our common stock and noncontrolling interests, partially offset by $16.5 million of new borrowings under our unsecured revolver.

Contractual Commitments

Our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K includes a table of contractual commitments. There were no material changes to these commitments since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There were no off-balance sheet arrangements during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to our interests.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosure About Market Risk.

Our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a discussion of qualitative and quantitative market risks. There have been no material changes in quantitative and qualitative market risks during the three months ended March 31, 2023 from the disclosures included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Effective as of March 31, 2023, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in our Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation referred to above during the quarter ended March 31, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business operations. Matters which arise out of allegations of bodily injury, property damage, and employment practices are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On November 14, 2022, a complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on behalf of putative classes of consumers alleging collusion among RealPage, Inc. (“RealPage”), Greystar Real Estate Partners, LLC, Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc., Avenue5 Residential, LLC, Equity Residential, Camden Property Trust, Essex Property Trust, Inc., Thrive Communities Management, LLC, Security Properties Inc., B/T Washington, LLC, d/b/a Blanton Turner, and us to fix, raise, maintain, and stabilize multifamily rental housing prices in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. A number of similar putative class action complaints were filed in other federal district courts against these and other defendants allegedly engaged in the leasing of residential rental units. Some of the complaints name us as a defendant and others do not. As of April 10, 2023, all cases have been consolidated in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee. We deny all allegations of wrongdoing and will vigorously defend the action.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

There have not been any material changes from the risk factors disclosed in Part 1, Item 1A of our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, holders of IROP units exchanged 144,600 units for 144,600 shares of our common stock. The exchange of units for shares and the issuance of shares is exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. As of March 31, 2023, 5,946,571 IROP units held by unaffiliated third parties remained outstanding.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we withheld shares of common stock to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations payable upon the vesting of restricted common stock awards as follow:

Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Price Paid per Share (1)		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Number (or Approximate Dollar Value) of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (2)
January 2023	4,694	$	17.68	—	$	250,000
February 2023	—	—		—	250,000
March 2023	31,415	16.31		—	250,000
Total	36,109	$	16.49	—

(1)The price reported is the average price paid per share using our closing price on the NYSE on the vesting date of the relevant award.

(2)On May 18, 2022, our Board of Directors approved the Stock Repurchase Program covering up to $250,000 in shares of our common stock. Under the Stock Repurchase Program, we, in our discretion, may purchase our shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of the purchases will depend on a number of factors, including the price and availability of our shares, trading volumes and general market conditions. The Stock Repurchase Program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

NOTE 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

a. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our condensed consolidated financial position and condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows are included. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date its financial statements were issued. No significant recognized or non-recognized subsequent events were noted other than those described in the footnotes.

b. Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our accounts and the accounts of IROP and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, “Consolidation”, IROP is considered a variable interest entity of which we are the primary beneficiary. As our significant asset is our investment in IROP, substantially all of our assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities of IROP.

c. Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

d. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash, including amounts restricted, may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance limit of $250 per institution. We mitigate credit risk by placing cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. To date, we have not experienced any losses on cash and cash equivalents.

e. Restricted Cash

Restricted cash includes escrows of our funds held by lenders to fund certain expenditures, such as real estate taxes and insurance, or to be released at our discretion upon the occurrence of certain pre-specified events. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $22,385 and $27,933, respectively, of restricted cash.

f. Investments in Real Estate

Investments in real estate are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs, including internal costs, that both add value and appreciably extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Investments in real estate are classified as held for sale in the period in which certain criteria are met including when the sale of the asset is probable, and actions required to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan of sale will be made or the plan of sale will be withdrawn.

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 (“ASC 805”), we evaluate our real estate acquisitions to determine if they should be accounted for as a business or as a group of assets. The evaluation includes an initial screen to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets. If the screen is met, the acquisition is not a business. The properties we have acquired met the screen test and are accounted for as asset acquisitions. Under asset acquisition accounting, the costs to acquire real estate, including transaction costs related to the acquisition, are accumulated and then allocated to the individual assets and liabilities acquired based upon their relative fair value. Transaction costs and fees incurred related to the financing of an acquisition are capitalized and amortized over the life of the related financing.

We estimate the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building and improvements), identified intangible assets (consisting of in-place leases), and assumed debt at the date of acquisition, based on the evaluation of information and estimates available at that date.

The aggregate value of in-place leases is determined by evaluating various factors, including the terms of the leases that are in place and assumed lease-up periods. The value assigned to these intangible assets is amortized over the assumed lease up period, typically six months. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not acquire any in-place leases. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $399 and $29,082, respectively, of amortization for intangible assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we wrote-off fully amortized intangible assets of $1,099 and $0, respectively.

Business Combinations

For properties we acquire or transactions we enter into that are accounted for as business combinations, we apply the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805, which requires the identification of the acquiror, the determination of the acquisition date, and the recognition and measurement, at fair value, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. To the extent that the fair value of net assets acquired differs from the fair value of consideration paid, ASC 805 requires the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase price, if any. Our merger with Steadfast Apartment REIT, Inc. on December 16, 2021 was accounted for as a business combination. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred merger and integration costs of $0 and $1,895, respectively. These amounts were expensed as incurred, and are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the item titled “Merger and integration costs”, and primarily consist of advisory fees, employee severance costs, and attorney fees.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of our investment in real estate assets, including related identifiable intangible assets, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”. This statement requires that

long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that recoverability of the assets is not assured.

Management reviews our long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value when there is an indicator of impairment. An impairment charge is recorded when it is determined that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value. The estimated cash flows used for the impairment analysis and the determination of estimated fair value are based on our plans for the respective assets (e.g., hold period) and our views of market and economic conditions. The estimates consider matters such as current and historical rental rates, occupancies for the respective and/or comparable properties, and recent sales data for comparable properties. Changes in estimated future cash flows due to changes in our plans or views of market and economic conditions could result in recognition of impairment losses, which, under the applicable accounting guidance, could be substantial. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not incur an impairment charge.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense for real estate assets is computed using a straight-line method based on a life of 40 years for buildings and improvements and five to ten years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $52,887 and $49,092 of depreciation expense, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we wrote-off fully depreciated fixed assets of $2,920 and $1,160, respectively.

Casualty Related Costs

Occasionally, we incur losses at our communities from wind storms, floods, fires and similar hazards. Sometimes, a portion of these losses are not fully covered by our insurance policies due to deductibles. In these cases, we estimate the carrying value of the damaged property and record a casualty loss for the difference between the estimated carrying value and the insurance proceeds. Any amount of insurance recovery in excess of the amount of the losses incurred is considered a gain contingency and is recorded in casualty losses (gains), net when the proceeds are received. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $151 of casualty losses and $1,393 of net casualty gains, respectively.

g. Investments in Real Estate Under Development

We capitalize direct and indirect project costs incurred during the development period such as construction, insurance, architectural, legal, interest costs, and real estate taxes. At such time as the development is considered substantially complete, the capitalization of certain indirect costs such as real estate taxes, interest costs, and all project-related costs in real estate under development are reclassified to investments in real estate. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $1,454 and $301, respectively, of capitalized interest expense, on our investments in real estate under development.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of our two investments in real estate under development in Denver, Colorado totaled $124,983 and $105,518, respectively, and was recorded as a separate line item in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

h. Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

We have entered into joint ventures with unrelated third parties to acquire, develop, own, operate, and manage real estate assets. Our joint ventures are funded with a combination of debt and equity. We will consolidate entities that we control as well as any variable interest entity where we are the primary beneficiary. Under the VIE model, we will consolidate an entity when we have the ability to direct the activities of the VIE and the obligations to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the voting model, we consolidate an entity when we control the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest. We separately analyzed the initial accounting for each investment in unconsolidated entity and concluded that each is a voting interest entity and is not a VIE. Our equity interest varies for each joint venture between 50% and 90% but, in each case, we share control of the major decisions that most significantly impact the joint ventures with our partners. Since we do not control the joint venture through our ownership interest, they are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and are included in investments in

unconsolidated real estate entities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are carried at cost plus our share of net earnings or losses. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $1,006 and $210, respectively, of capitalized interest expense, on our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

i. Revenue and Expenses

Rental and Other Property Revenue

We apply FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”) with respect to our accounting for rental income. We primarily lease apartment units under operating leases generally with terms of one year or less. Rental payments are generally due monthly and rental revenues are recognized on an accrual basis when earned. We have elected to account for lease (i.e. fixed payments including base rent) and non-lease components (i.e. tenant reimbursements and certain other service fees) as a single combined operating lease component since (1) the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and non-lease components is the same, (2) the lease component is the predominant element, and (3) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease.

We make ongoing estimates of the collectability of our base rents, tenant reimbursements, and other service fees included within rental and other property revenue. If collectability is not probable, we adjust rental and other property income for the amount of uncollectible revenue.

j. Derivative Instruments

We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. While these instruments may impact our periodic cash flows, they benefit us by minimizing the risks and/or costs previously described. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions with which we and our affiliates may also have other financial relationships. In the event of nonperformance by the counterparties, we are potentially exposed to credit loss. However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, we do not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, we measure each derivative instrument at fair value and record such amounts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income and changes in the fair value of the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges, if any, are recognized in earnings. For derivatives not designated as hedges, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in earnings. Any derivatives that we designate in hedge relationships are done so at inception. At inception, we determine whether or not the derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in the designated interest rate risk associated with the identified indebtedness using regression analysis. At each reporting period, we update our regression analysis and use the hypothetical derivative method to measure any ineffectiveness.

k. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity for disclosure purposes. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and

Disclosures” and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

•Level 1: Valuations are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The types of assets carried at Level 1 fair value generally are equity securities listed in active markets. As such, valuations of these investments do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

•Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Given that cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are short term in nature with limited fair value volatility, the carrying amount is deemed to be a reasonable approximation of fair value and the fair value input is classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement. The fair value input for derivatives is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our unsecured credit facility, term loans, and mortgage indebtedness is based on a discounted cash flows valuation technique. As this technique utilizes current credit spreads, which are generally unobservable, this is classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy. We determine appropriate credit spreads based on the type of debt and its maturity. There were no transfers between levels in the fair value hierarchy for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The following table summarizes the carrying amount and the fair value of our financial instruments as of the periods indicated:

	As of March 31, 2023				As of December 31, 2022
Financial Instrument	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	12,448	$	12,448	$	16,084	$	16,084
Restricted cash	22,385		22,385		27,933		27,933
Derivative assets	32,783		32,783		41,109		41,109
Liabilities
Debt:
Unsecured Revolver	184,066		187,872		164,283		169,842
Unsecured Term loans	596,770		608,820		596,612		611,265
Secured credit facilities	640,580		582,335		660,542		580,332
Mortgages	1,207,216		1,106,803		1,210,208		1,088,579
Derivative liabilities	2,283		2,283		—		—

l. Deferred Financing Costs

Costs incurred in connection with debt financing are deferred and classified within indebtedness and charged to interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreements, under the effective interest method.

m. Office Leases

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases”, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet at the lease commencement date for all leases, except those leases with terms of less than a year. We lease corporate office space under leases with terms of up to 10 years and that may include extension options, but that do not include any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. As of March 31, 2023, we had $2,914 of operating lease right-of-use assets and $3,237 of operating lease liabilities related to our corporate office leases. The operating lease right-of-use assets are presented within other assets and the operating lease liabilities are presented within other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We recorded $210 and $461 of total operating lease expense during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which is recorded within property management expense and general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

n. Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT. Accordingly, we recorded no income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders; however, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify and maintain treatment as a REIT and intend to operate in such a manner so that we will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

o. Employee Retention Credit

Under the terms of the March 27, 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), we were eligible and applied for assistance in the form of a refundable employee retention credit. Since applicable GAAP guidance is limited, we adopted an accounting policy, in accordance with GAAP, by analogizing to International Accounting Standard 20 “Accounting for Government Grants” to recognize employee retention credits as a reimbursement of payroll related expenses within property operating expenses, property management expenses, and general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, we received employee retention credit refunds totaling $6,238 and recognized $3,006 in reimbursements of previously paid employer payroll taxes and retention costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The remainder is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be recognized on a systematic basis through December 2023 as a reimbursement of payroll related expenses attributable to off-cycle compensation increases awarded to employees beginning in July 2022 and intended to support employee retention during the pandemic and its ongoing effect on the macroeconomic environment. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized reimbursements of payroll related expenses of $788 in property operating expenses, $195 in property management expenses and $74 in general and administrative expenses.

p. Restructuring Costs

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we reorganized certain departments in the organization impacting a limited number of employees. The impacted employees were provided severance packages that included cash severance payments and the accelerated vesting of performance share units and restricted stock awards, as applicable. In accordance with ASC 712 “Compensation – Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits”, we recognized the full amount of restructuring costs of $3,213 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which was presented in the restructuring costs line on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

q. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Below is a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Adopted Within these Financial Statements

In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 848, “Reference Rate Reform.” The amendments in this update contain practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASC 848 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (“ASU 2022-06”) which was issued to defer the sunset date of Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform to December 31, 2024. ASU 2022-06 is effective immediately for all companies. ASU 2022-06 has no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023. R

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate

NOTE 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate

As of March 31, 2023, our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities had aggregate land, building, and construction in progress costs capitalized of $241,114 and aggregate construction debt of $115,882. We do not guarantee any debt, capital payout or other obligations associated with our joint ventures. We recognize earnings or losses from our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities consisting of our proportionate share of the net earnings or losses of the joint ventures. We recognized losses of $776 and $63 from equity method investments during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and these losses were recorded in loss from investments in unconsolidated real estate entities in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following table summarizes our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

Effective interest rate swaps and caps are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income, and the fair value of these hedge agreements is recorded as derivative assets or liabilities on the face of our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

For our interest rate swaps and collars that are considered highly effective hedges, we reclassified realized (gains) losses of ($3,377) and $2,120 to earnings within interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, and we expect gains of $16,069 to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income to earnings over the next 12 months.

On March 16, 2023, we entered into an interest rate swap contract with a notional value of $200,000, a strike rate of 3.39% and a maturity date of March 17, 2030. We designated this interest rate swap as a cash flow hedge at inception and determined that the hedge is highly effective in offsetting interest rate fluctuations associated with the identified indebtedness.

Stockholders’ Equity

On March 14, 2023, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.14 per share on our common stock, which

was paid on April 21, 2023 to common stockholders of record as of March 31, 2023.

On May 18, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program (the "Stock Repurchase Program") covering up to $250,000 in shares of our common stock. Under the Stock Repurchase Program, we, in our discretion, may purchase our shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of the purchases will depend on a number of factors, including the price and availability of our shares, trading volumes and general market conditions. The Stock Repurchase Program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we had no repurchases of shares under the Stock Repurchase Program. As of March 31, 2023, we had $250,000 in shares of our common stock remaining authorized for purchase under the Stock Repurchase Program.

On November 13, 2020, we entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which we may from time to time offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $150,000 (the “ATM Program”) in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Under the ATM Program, we may also enter into one or more forward sale transactions for the sale of shares of our common stock on a forward basis. There were no forward sale transactions that had not settled as of March 31, 2023. As of March 31, 2023, shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to approximately $56,836 remained available for issuance under the ATM Program.

Noncontrolling Interest

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, holders of IROP units exchanged 144,600 units for 144,600 shares of our common stock. As of March 31, 2023, 5,946,571 IROP units held by unaffiliated third parties remain outstanding.

On March 14, 2023, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.14 per unit, which was paid on April 21,

NOTE 8: Equity Compensation Plans

Long Term Incentive Plan

On May 18, 2022, our stockholders approved our 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan which provides for grants of equity and equity-based awards to our employees, officers, directors, consultants and other service providers, and such awards may take the form of restricted or unrestricted shares of common stock, non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, restricted stock units (“RSUs"), stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalents and other equity and cash-based awards. A maximum of 8,000,000 shares of our common stock (plus up to an additional 1,280,610 shares of our common stock, to the extent that shares subject to outstanding awards under the prior plan are recycled into the 2022 Incentive Plan) may be awarded, subject to customary adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits and similar corporate events or transactions affecting shares of our common stock.

Under the Incentive Plan, we have granted restricted shares, RSUs, and PSUs. These awards generally vest or vested over a two-to four-year period. In addition, we have granted unrestricted shares to our non-employee directors. These awards generally vest or vested immediately. A summary of restricted common share award and RSU activity is presented below.

	2023
	Number  of  Shares	Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share
Balance, January 1,	395,482	$	18.67

Forfeited	(18,091)	19.34
Balance, March 31,(1)	447,826	$	19.32

(1) The outstanding award balances above include 173,567 and 163,348 RSUs as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

On February 7, 2023, our compensation committee awarded 216,795 PSUs to our executive officers. The number of PSUs earned will be based on attainment of certain performance criteria over a three-year period, with the actual number of shares issuable ranging between 0% and 150% of the number of PSUs granted. Half of any PSUs earned will vest, and shares will be issued in respect thereof, immediately following the end of the three-year performance period; the remaining half of any PSUs earned will vest, and shares will be issued in respect thereof, after an additional one-year period of service.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, a portion of the RSUs and PSUs granted were issued to employees who are retirement eligible. The fact that the grantees are retirement eligible resulted in immediate recognition of the associated stock-based compensation expense totaling $2,677 and $2,422, respectively.

Other Disclosures

NOTE 10: Other Disclosures

Litigation

We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of our business operations. Matters which arise out of allegations of bodily injury, property damage, and employment practices are generally covered by insurance. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe the final outcome of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Loss Contingencies

We record an accrual for loss contingencies when a loss is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Management reviews these accruals quarterly and makes revisions based on changes in facts and circumstances. When a loss contingency is not both probable and reasonably estimable, management does not accrue the loss. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of an earlier accrual) is at least a reasonable possibility and material, then management discloses a reasonable estimate of the possible loss, or range of loss, if such reasonable estimate can be made. If we cannot make a reasonable estimate of the possible loss, or range of loss, then a statement to that effect is disclosed.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2023

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of PresentationThe accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe that the included disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2022 included in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our condensed consolidated financial position and condensed consolidated results of operations and cash flows are included. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date its financial statements were issued.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of ConsolidationThe condensed consolidated financial statements reflect our accounts and the accounts of IROP and its subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Pursuant to the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 810, “Consolidation”, IROP is considered a variable interest entity of which we are the primary beneficiary. As our significant asset is our investment in IROP, substantially all of our assets and liabilities represent the assets and liabilities of IROP.

Use of Estimates

Use of EstimatesThe preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and Cash EquivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash held in banks and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash, including amounts restricted, may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation deposit insurance limit of $250 per institution. We mitigate credit risk by placing cash and cash equivalents with major financial institutions. To date, we have not experienced any losses on cash and cash equivalents.

Restricted Cash

Restricted CashRestricted cash includes escrows of our funds held by lenders to fund certain expenditures, such as real estate taxes and insurance, or to be released at our discretion upon the occurrence of certain pre-specified events.

Investments in Real Estate

Investments in Real Estate

Investments in real estate are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Costs, including internal costs, that both add value and appreciably extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Investments in real estate are classified as held for sale in the period in which certain criteria are met including when the sale of the asset is probable, and actions required to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan of sale will be made or the plan of sale will be withdrawn.

Allocation of Purchase Price of Acquired Assets

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 (“ASC 805”), we evaluate our real estate acquisitions to determine if they should be accounted for as a business or as a group of assets. The evaluation includes an initial screen to determine if substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets. If the screen is met, the acquisition is not a business. The properties we have acquired met the screen test and are accounted for as asset acquisitions. Under asset acquisition accounting, the costs to acquire real estate, including transaction costs related to the acquisition, are accumulated and then allocated to the individual assets and liabilities acquired based upon their relative fair value. Transaction costs and fees incurred related to the financing of an acquisition are capitalized and amortized over the life of the related financing.

We estimate the fair value of acquired tangible assets (consisting of land, building and improvements), identified intangible assets (consisting of in-place leases), and assumed debt at the date of acquisition, based on the evaluation of information and estimates available at that date.

The aggregate value of in-place leases is determined by evaluating various factors, including the terms of the leases that are in place and assumed lease-up periods. The value assigned to these intangible assets is amortized over the assumed lease up period, typically six months. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not acquire any in-place leases. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $399 and $29,082, respectively, of amortization for intangible assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we wrote-off fully amortized intangible assets of $1,099 and $0, respectively.

Business Combinations

For properties we acquire or transactions we enter into that are accounted for as business combinations, we apply the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805, which requires the identification of the acquiror, the determination of the acquisition date, and the recognition and measurement, at fair value, of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. To the extent that the fair value of net assets acquired differs from the fair value of consideration paid, ASC 805 requires the recognition of goodwill or a gain from a bargain purchase price, if any. Our merger with Steadfast Apartment REIT, Inc. on December 16, 2021 was accounted for as a business combination. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred merger and integration costs of $0 and $1,895, respectively. These amounts were expensed as incurred, and are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations in the item titled “Merger and integration costs”, and primarily consist of advisory fees, employee severance costs, and attorney fees.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of our investment in real estate assets, including related identifiable intangible assets, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment”. This statement requires that

long-lived assets be reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that recoverability of the assets is not assured.

Management reviews our long-lived assets on an ongoing basis and evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value when there is an indicator of impairment. An impairment charge is recorded when it is determined that the carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value. The estimated cash flows used for the impairment analysis and the determination of estimated fair value are based on our plans for the respective assets (e.g., hold period) and our views of market and economic conditions. The estimates consider matters such as current and historical rental rates, occupancies for the respective and/or comparable properties, and recent sales data for comparable properties. Changes in estimated future cash flows due to changes in our plans or views of market and economic conditions could result in recognition of impairment losses, which, under the applicable accounting guidance, could be substantial. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not incur an impairment charge.

Depreciation Expense

Depreciation expense for real estate assets is computed using a straight-line method based on a life of 40 years for buildings and improvements and five to ten years for furniture, fixtures, and equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recorded $52,887 and $49,092 of depreciation expense, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we wrote-off fully depreciated fixed assets of $2,920 and $1,160, respectively.

Casualty Related Costs

Occasionally, we incur losses at our communities from wind storms, floods, fires and similar hazards. Sometimes, a portion of these losses are not fully covered by our insurance policies due to deductibles. In these cases, we estimate the carrying value of the damaged property and record a casualty loss for the difference between the estimated carrying value and the insurance proceeds. Any amount of insurance recovery in excess of the amount of the losses incurred is considered a gain contingency and is recorded in casualty losses (gains), net when the proceeds are received. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we incurred $151 of casualty losses and $1,393 of net casualty gains, respectively.

Investments in Real Estate Under Development

Investments in Real Estate Under DevelopmentWe capitalize direct and indirect project costs incurred during the development period such as construction, insurance, architectural, legal, interest costs, and real estate taxes. At such time as the development is considered substantially complete, the capitalization of certain indirect costs such as real estate taxes, interest costs, and all project-related costs in real estate under development are reclassified to investments in real estate.

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate EntitiesWe have entered into joint ventures with unrelated third parties to acquire, develop, own, operate, and manage real estate assets. Our joint ventures are funded with a combination of debt and equity. We will consolidate entities that we control as well as any variable interest entity where we are the primary beneficiary. Under the VIE model, we will consolidate an entity when we have the ability to direct the activities of the VIE and the obligations to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the voting model, we consolidate an entity when we control the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest. We separately analyzed the initial accounting for each investment in unconsolidated entity and concluded that each is a voting interest entity and is not a VIE. Our equity interest varies for each joint venture between 50% and 90% but, in each case, we share control of the major decisions that most significantly impact the joint ventures with our partners. Since we do not control the joint venture through our ownership interest, they are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and are included in investments in unconsolidated real estate entities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Under the equity method of accounting, the investments are carried at cost plus our share of net earnings or losses.

Revenue and Expenses

Revenue and Expenses

Rental and Other Property Revenue

We apply FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases” (“ASC 842”) with respect to our accounting for rental income. We primarily lease apartment units under operating leases generally with terms of one year or less. Rental payments are generally due monthly and rental revenues are recognized on an accrual basis when earned. We have elected to account for lease (i.e. fixed payments including base rent) and non-lease components (i.e. tenant reimbursements and certain other service fees) as a single combined operating lease component since (1) the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and non-lease components is the same, (2) the lease component is the predominant element, and (3) the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease.

We make ongoing estimates of the collectability of our base rents, tenant reimbursements, and other service fees included within rental and other property revenue. If collectability is not probable, we adjust rental and other property income for the amount of uncollectible revenue.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

We may use derivative financial instruments to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with our borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with our operating and financial structure, as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. While these instruments may impact our periodic cash flows, they benefit us by minimizing the risks and/or costs previously described. The counterparties to these contractual arrangements are major financial institutions with which we and our affiliates may also have other financial relationships. In the event of nonperformance by the counterparties, we are potentially exposed to credit loss. However, because of the high credit ratings of the counterparties, we do not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”, we measure each derivative instrument at fair value and record such amounts in our condensed consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value of the effective portions of the derivative are reported in other comprehensive income and changes in the fair value of the ineffective portions of cash flow hedges, if any, are recognized in earnings. For derivatives not designated as hedges, the changes in fair value of the derivative instrument are recognized in earnings. Any derivatives that we designate in hedge relationships are done so at inception. At inception, we determine whether or not the derivative is highly effective in offsetting changes in the designated interest rate risk associated with the identified indebtedness using regression analysis. At each reporting period, we update our regression analysis and use the hypothetical derivative method to measure any ineffectiveness.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value of Financial InstrumentsIn accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Where available, fair value is based on observable market prices or parameters or derived from such prices or parameters. Where observable prices or inputs are not available, valuation models are applied. These valuation techniques involve management estimation and judgment, the degree of which is dependent on the price transparency for the instruments or market and the instruments’ complexity for disclosure purposes. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in our condensed consolidated balance sheets are categorized based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their value. Hierarchical levels, as defined in FASB ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and

Disclosures” and directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuations of these assets and liabilities, are as follows:

•Level 1: Valuations are based on unadjusted, quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date. The types of assets carried at Level 1 fair value generally are equity securities listed in active markets. As such, valuations of these investments do not entail a significant degree of judgment.

•Level 2: Valuations are based on quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3: Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability, and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

FASB ASC Topic 825, “Financial Instruments” requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value. Given that cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash are short term in nature with limited fair value volatility, the carrying amount is deemed to be a reasonable approximation of fair value and the fair value input is classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement. The fair value input for derivatives is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our unsecured credit facility, term loans, and mortgage indebtedness is based on a discounted cash flows valuation technique. As this technique utilizes current credit spreads, which are generally unobservable, this is classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy. We determine appropriate credit spreads based on the type of debt and its maturity.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred Financing CostsCosts incurred in connection with debt financing are deferred and classified within indebtedness and charged to interest expense over the terms of the related debt agreements, under the effective interest method.

Office Leases

Office LeasesIn accordance with FASB ASC Topic 842, “Leases”, lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet at the lease commencement date for all leases, except those leases with terms of less than a year. We lease corporate office space under leases with terms of up to 10 years and that may include extension options, but that do not include any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. As of March 31, 2023, we had $2,914 of operating lease right-of-use assets and $3,237 of operating lease liabilities related to our corporate office leases. The operating lease right-of-use assets are presented within other assets and the operating lease liabilities are presented within other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We recorded $210 and $461 of total operating lease expense during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which is recorded within property management expense and general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT. Accordingly, we recorded no income tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we generally are not subject to federal income tax on taxable income that we distribute to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service grants us relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders; however, we believe that we are organized and operate in such a manner as to qualify and maintain treatment as a REIT and intend to operate in such a manner so that we will remain qualified as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

Employee Retention Credit

Employee Retention CreditUnder the terms of the March 27, 2020 Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”), we were eligible and applied for assistance in the form of a refundable employee retention credit. Since applicable GAAP guidance is limited, we adopted an accounting policy, in accordance with GAAP, by analogizing to International Accounting Standard 20 “Accounting for Government Grants” to recognize employee retention credits as a reimbursement of payroll related expenses within property operating expenses, property management expenses, and general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the six months ended December 31, 2022, we received employee retention credit refunds totaling $6,238 and recognized $3,006 in reimbursements of previously paid employer payroll taxes and retention costs in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. The remainder is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be recognized on a systematic basis through December 2023 as a reimbursement of payroll related expenses attributable to off-cycle compensation increases awarded to employees beginning in July 2022 and intended to support employee retention during the pandemic and its ongoing effect on the macroeconomic environment. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recognized reimbursements of payroll related expenses of $788 in property operating expenses, $195 in property management expenses and $74 in general and administrative expenses.

Restructuring Costs

Restructuring CostsDuring the three months ended March 31, 2023, we reorganized certain departments in the organization impacting a limited number of employees. The impacted employees were provided severance packages that included cash severance payments and the accelerated vesting of performance share units and restricted stock awards, as applicable. In accordance with ASC 712 “Compensation – Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits”, we recognized the full amount of restructuring costs of $3,213 during the three months ended March 31, 2023, which was presented in the restructuring costs line on the condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Below is a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements that could have a material effect on our financial statements.

Adopted Within these Financial Statements

In March 2020, the FASB issued an accounting standard classified under FASB ASC Topic 848, “Reference Rate Reform.” The amendments in this update contain practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASC 848 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. Beginning in the first quarter of 2020, we elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. We will continue to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (“ASU 2022-06”) which was issued to defer the sunset date of Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform to December 31, 2024. ASU 2022-06 is effective immediately for all companies. ASU 2022-06 has no impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
