NOTE 1: Organization

Independence Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“IRT”), is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which was formed on March 26, 2009. We are primarily engaged in the ownership, operation, management, improvement, and acquisition of multifamily apartment communities in non-gateway markets. As of September 30, 2023, we owned and operated 120 (unaudited) multifamily apartment properties (including one consolidated joint venture) that contain 35,427 (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 September 30, 2023, we owned two investments in real estate under development in Denver, Colorado that will, upon completion, contain an aggregate of 621 (unaudited) units. As of September 30, 2023, we also owned interests in four unconsolidated joint ventures, two that own and operate multifamily apartment communities that contain an aggregate of 810 (unaudited) units and two that are developing multifamily apartment communities that will, upon completion, contain an aggregate of 653 (unaudited) units. We own all of our assets and conduct substantially all of our operations through Independence Realty Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“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 its 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.

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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $31,772 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, necessary approvals are obtained, 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 each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 we consolidated a former unconsolidated real estate entity and recognized in-place leases with a value of $398. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $133 and $532, respectively, of amortization for intangible assets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $79 and $53,367, respectively, of amortization for intangible assets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we wrote-off fully amortized intangible assets of $0 and $1,099, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we wrote-off fully amortized intangible assets of $0 and $58,048, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, we expect to record additional amortization expense on current in-place intangible assets of $199 for the remainder of 2023.

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

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

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred merger and integration costs of $275 and $3,477, 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 technology migration and implementation, consulting and professional fees. We incurred no merger and integration costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of our investments 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, taking into consideration both quantitative and qualitative factors, 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 and collection levels, occupancies for the respective and/or comparable properties, age and condition of the 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. We recorded impairment charges of $11,268, for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, on account of real estate classified as held for sale, and recorded no impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $55,083 and $161,670 of depreciation expense, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $49,268 and $146,222 of depreciation expense, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we wrote-off fully depreciated fixed assets of $7,563 and $15,596, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we wrote-off fully depreciated fixed assets of $0 and $3,092, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $35 and $866 of net casualty losses, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $191 and $7,176 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $1,926 and $5,094, respectively, of capitalized interest expense, on our

11

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

investments in real estate under development. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $618 and $1,404, respectively, of capitalized interest expense, on our two investments in real estate under development.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of our two investments in real estate under development in Denver, Colorado totaled $83,547 and $105,518, respectively, net of $77,520 and $0 placed in service, 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 consolidate entities that we control as well as any variable interest entity ("VIE") where we are the primary beneficiary. Under the VIE model, we 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 analyzed the initial accounting for each of our four investments in unconsolidated real estate entities and concluded that each is a voting interest entity and is not a VIE. Our equity interest varies for each of our four investments in unconsolidated real estate entities 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 these joint ventures through our ownership interests, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $1,176 and $3,271 of capitalized interest expense, on our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $484 and $969 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.

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

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 nine months ended September 30, 2023. The following table summarizes the carrying amount and the fair value of our financial instruments as of the periods indicated:

(1)Includes indebtedness associated with real estate held for sale of $40,593.

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, we record assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as required by U.S. GAAP. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges. As discussed further in Note 3 “Investments in Real Estate”, we recognized an impairment charge of $11,268 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 at the property classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2023. The impairment charge was determined by comparing the fair value of the property to its carrying value. The fair value was based on an internally prepared valuation whose principal assumptions were unobservable cap rates that ranged from 6.0% - 6.5% and was determined to be a Level 3 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

l. Deferred Financing Costs

Under the effective interest method, 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.

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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $2,579 and $3,079, respectively, of operating lease right-of-use assets and $2,882 and $3,401, respectively, 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $219 and $631, respectively, of total operating lease expense which was recorded within property management expenses and general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $252 and $1,096, respectively, of total operating lease expense which was recorded within property management expenses 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

14

Independence Realty Trust, Inc. and Subsidiaries

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2023

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

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 was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is being 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized reimbursements of payroll related expenses of $593 and $2,170, respectively, in property operating expenses, $189 and $579, respectively, in property management expenses and $74 and $221, respectively, in general and administrative expenses.

p. Restructuring Costs

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we reorganized certain departments in our 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. No restructuring costs were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

q. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Adopted Within these Condensed Consolidated 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

NOTE 3: Investments in Real Estate

As of September 30, 2023, our investments in real estate consisted of 120 apartment properties (unaudited, including one consolidated joint venture) that contain 35,427 units (unaudited). The following table summarizes our investments in real estate, excluding one property we classified as held for sale:

	As of  September 30, 2023		As of  December 31, 2022		Depreciable Lives (In years)
Land	$	586,361	$	579,094	—
Building	5,728,541		5,695,711		40
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	439,120		340,438		5-10
Total investments in real estate	$	6,754,022	$	6,615,243
Accumulated depreciation	(567,200)		(425,034)
Investments in real estate, net	$	6,186,822	$	6,190,209

As of September 30, 2023, we owned one property, The Meadows at River Run, with 374 units (unaudited) in Chicago, Illinois that we initially classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2023 and that continued to be classified as held for sale. Based on ongoing negotiations, we recognized a $11,268 impairment charge during the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to the carrying value exceeding the expected sales price less transaction costs. We expect the sale to close in the fourth quarter of 2023 and expect to extinguish $40,593 of mortgage debt in connection with the sale.

Dispositions

On February 28, 2023, we sold Eagle Lake Landing apartments located in Indianapolis, Indiana for $37,300 and recognized a gain on sale of $985.

Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy

On October 26, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a plan, which we refer to as our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, to exit or reduce our presence in certain markets while also deleveraging our balance sheet. Our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy targets sales of up to 10 properties that are located in seven markets including the one property in Chicago, Illinois that was previously identified and continues to be held for sale as of September 30, 2023.

Under the plan, certain properties may be sold for proceeds that are less than the current carrying value. This could result in the recognition of an impairment loss in the fourth quarter 2023 with respect to some of these properties based on the outcome of sale negotiations. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we will continuously reevaluate the properties covered by our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy under the held for sale guidance as additional information becomes available during the sales process. If circumstances indicate a held for sale classification is appropriate for any of these properties, we will classify the identified properties as held for sale as of December 31, 2023 at the lower of carrying value or the expected sales price less transaction costs. The proceeds of these contemplated sales will be utilized to delever the balance sheet.

We are in various stages of marketing, negotiations, and buyer due diligence with respect to the properties targeted for sale. There can be no assurance that any of the sales will be consummated at expected pricing levels, within expected time frames, or at all.

NOTE 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate

As of September 30, 2023, our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities had aggregate land, building, and construction in progress costs capitalized of $240,940 and aggregate construction debt of $125,065. We have not guaranteed 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 $1,178 and $3,158, respectively, from equity method investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $1,477 and $2,411, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

The Crockett is an operating property consisting of 199 units (unaudited) delivered during the three months ended March 31, 2023. We have one year from their respective delivery dates to exercise our purchase options on The Crockett and Views of Music City phase II.

(4)An amendment to the Virtuoso joint venture agreement on August 1, 2023 provided us with control over the major decisions that most significantly impact the joint venture and removed our joint venture partner’s rights to a promote interest. This caused us to reassess the accounting for Virtuoso, a former unconsolidated real estate entity that consists of 178 units (unaudited) in Huntsville, Alabama, during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Because we concluded that Virtuoso is a voting interest entity and that we now control the major decisions that most significantly impact the joint venture through our 90% voting interest, we began consolidating the assets and liabilities and operating results of Virtuoso effective August 1, 2023. In accordance with FASB Topic ASC 805, upon consolidation, we recognized the assets and liabilities of Virtuoso at carryover basis, allocating the individual assets and liabilities based upon their relative fair values on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

NOTE 6: Derivative Financial Instruments

The following table summarizes the aggregate notional amounts and estimated net fair values of our derivative instruments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

	As of September 30, 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	$	36,985	$	—	$	300,000	$	26,099	$	—
Interest rate collars	250,000		5,069		—		250,000		8,317		—
Forward interest rate collars	200,000		11,204		—		200,000		6,693		—
Total	$	950,000	$	53,258	—		$	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 of $5,433 and $13,559 to earnings within interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and we expect gains of $20,461 to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings over the next 12 months. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we reclassified realized gains of $214 and realized losses of $3,408 to earnings within interest expense.

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 September 12, 2023, our board of directors declared a dividend of $0.16 per shares on our common stock, which was paid on October 20, 2023 to common stockholders of record as of September 29, 2023.

NOTE 8: Equity Compensation Plans

Long Term Incentive Plan

On May 18, 2022, our stockholders approved our 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "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 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan, (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 and the Prior 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 and unrestricted common share awards and RSU activity is presented below.

(1) The outstanding award balances above include 127,989 and 163,348 RSUs as of September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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.

NOTE 9: Earnings Per Share

The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022:

Earnings per share—Diluted	$	0.02	$	0.07	$	0.10	$	0.38

Certain IROP units, PSUs, RSUs and restricted stocks awards were excluded from the earnings per share computation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive, totaling 6,588,751 and 6,666,456 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. Certain IROP units and forward sale agreements were excluded from the earnings per share computation because their effect would have been anti-dilutive, totaling 6,091,171 and 6,091,171 for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

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.

Overview

Our Company

We are a self-administered and self-managed Maryland corporation that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). We are primarily engaged in the ownership, operation, management, improvement, and acquisition of multifamily apartment communities in non-gateway markets. As of September 30, 2023, we owned and operated 120 multifamily apartment properties (including one consolidated joint venture) that contain 35,427 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 September 30, 2023, we owned and

24

consolidated two investments in real estate development in Colorado that will, upon completion, contain an aggregate of 621 units. As of September 30, 2023, we also owned interests in four unconsolidated joint ventures, two that own and operate multifamily apartment communities that contain an aggregate of 810 units and two that are developing multifamily apartment communities that will contain, upon completion, an aggregate of 653 units. 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 and Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy

On October 26, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a plan, which we refer to as our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, to exit or reduce our presence in certain markets while also deleveraging our balance sheet. Our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy targets sales of up to 10 properties that are located in seven markets including the one property in Chicago, Illinois that was previously identified and continues to be held for sale as of September 30, 2023.

Under the plan, certain properties may be sold for proceeds that are less than the current carrying value. This could result in the recognition of an impairment loss in the fourth quarter 2023 with respect to some of these properties based on the outcome of sale negotiations. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we will continuously reevaluate the properties covered by our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy under the held for sale guidance as additional information becomes available during the sales process. If circumstances indicate a held for sale classification is appropriate for any of these properties, we will classify the identified properties as held for sale as of December 31, 2023 at the lower of carrying value or the expected sales price less transaction costs. The proceeds of these contemplated sales will be utilized to delever the balance sheet.

We are in various stages of marketing, negotiations, and buyer due diligence with respect to the properties targeted for sale. There can be no assurance that any of the sales will be consummated at expected pricing levels, within expected time frames, or at all.

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.

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities

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

An amendment to the Virtuoso joint venture agreement on August 1, 2023 provided us with control over the major decisions that most significantly impact the joint venture and removed our joint venture partner’s rights to a promote interest. This caused us to reassess the accounting for Virtuoso, a former unconsolidated real estate entity, that consists of 178 units (unaudited) in Huntsville, Alabama, during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Because we concluded that Virtuoso is a voting interest entity and that we now control the major decisions that most significantly impact the joint venture through our 90% voting interest, we began consolidating the assets and liabilities and operating results of Virtuoso effective August 1, 2023. In accordance with FASB Topic ASC 805, upon consolidation, we recognized the assets and liabilities of Virtuoso at carryover basis, allocating the individual assets and liabilities based upon their relative fair values on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

No new investments in unconsolidated real estate entities were made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. However, we continued to fund commitments to our existing investments in unconsolidated real estate entities. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had investments in unconsolidated real estate of $87,592 and $80,220, respectively.

Investments in Real Estate Under Development

As part of our merger with Steadfast Apartment REIT, Inc. (“STAR Merger”), we acquired two land parcels in Denver, Colorado that are being developed into multifamily properties that will contain 621 units, in the aggregate, upon completion. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had investments in real estate under development of $83,547 and $105,518, respectively, net of $77,520 and $0 placed in service, 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.

27

We completed renovations on 709 units during the three months ended September 30, 2023. From inception of our value add program in January 2018 through September 30, 2023, we completed renovations on 7,285 of the 11,856 units currently in our value add program, achieving a return on investment of 17.9% (and approximately 19.5% 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

Shelf Registration Statement

On June 14, 2023, we replaced our previous shelf registration statement with our new shelf registration statement. On July 28, 2023, we entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which we may from time to time offer and sell shares of our common stock under our shelf registration statement having an aggregate offering price of up to $450,000 (the “2023 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. Under the 2023 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 as of September 30, 2023, and no shares of our common stock were sold under the 2023 ATM Program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

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.

Results of Operations

As of September 30, 2023, we owned and consolidated 120 multifamily apartment properties, of which 115 comprised the Same-Store Portfolio.

Revenue

Rental and other property revenue. Revenue from rental and other property revenue of the consolidated portfolio increased $8.1 million to $168.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $160.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a $8.2 million increase in same-store rental and other property revenue driven by an 4.4% increase in average effective monthly rents and 0.4% increase in average occupancy compared to the prior year period.

Expenses

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses increased $3.3 million to $63.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $60.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was due to a $3.6 million increase in same-store property operating expense, primarily due to inflationary pressures resulting in higher insurance premiums and contract services, personnel expenses, real estate taxes, and advertising expenses.

Property management expenses. Property management expenses increased $1.5 million to $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to higher personnel costs and stock compensation due to the centralization of staff at the property management level who support multiple properties, along with costs related to the rollout of community call centers, compared to the prior year.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased $2.0 million to $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $5.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower personnel costs from executive departures in 2023 compared to prior year.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $5.8 million to $55.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 from $49.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to higher depreciation expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of timing of properties acquired and depreciated.

Other (loss) income, net. During the three months ended September 30, 2023 we recorded $0.4 million of loss from the change in fair value of our interest rates compared to a $0.8 million gain during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Loss from investments in unconsolidated real estate entities. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized $1.2 million of losses on investments in unconsolidated real estate primarily attributable to interest and depreciation expenses of one investment which began operations during the period. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $1.5 million of losses in unconsolidated real estate primarily driven by interest and depreciation expenses recognized during the period.

(Loss on impairment) gain on sale of real estate assets, net. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, we classified one of our properties (The Meadows at River Run, with 374 units (unaudited) in Chicago, Illinois) as held for sale. Initially, we expected the sale to close in the second half of 2023 and at a sales price, less transaction costs, in excess of our carrying value for this property. In connection with the results of our sales activity associated with this property during the three months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded a $11.3 million impairment charge during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Revenue

Rental and other property revenue. Revenue from rental and other property revenue of the consolidated portfolio increased $28.2 million to $493.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $464.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to a $28.3 million increase in same-store rental and other property revenue driven by a 7.7% increase in average effective monthly rents and partially offset by a 1.2% decrease in average occupancy compared to the prior year period.

Expenses

Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses increased $9.8 million to $184.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $174.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The increase was primarily due to the $10.4 million increase in same-store property operating expense, primarily due to inflationary pressures resulting in higher insurance premiums and contract services, repairs and maintenance, advertising, and utilities.

Property management expenses. Property management expenses increased $3.0 million to $20.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $17.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to higher personnel costs and stock compensation due to the centralization of staff at the property management level who support multiple properties, along with costs related to the rollout of community call centers, compared to the prior year.

General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses decreased $2.8 million to $17.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $20.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to lower personnel costs from the departure of executives in 2023, including from the forfeiture of their bonus and stock awards.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $37.6 million to $163.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $200.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower intangible asset amortization expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as a result of the intangible assets acquired in the STAR Merger being fully amortized.

Casualty losses (gains), net. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we incurred $0.9 million in casualty losses due to fires at three properties where the carrying value of the damage exceeded insurance proceeds due to policy deductible levels. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized net casualty gains of $7.2 million as a result of receiving insurance proceeds in excess of the carrying value of losses incurred.

Interest expense. Interest expense increased $2.8 million to $66.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 from $63.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to higher interest rates impacting our variable rate loans.

(Loss on impairment) gain on sale of real estate assets, net. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, one multi-family property was sold resulting in gains of $1.0 million and we recorded a $11.3 million impairment charge due to the carrying value exceeding the expected sales price less transaction costs of our Chicago, Illinois property. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, four multi-family properties were sold resulting in a gain of $94.7 million.

Merger and integration costs. We incurred approximately $3.5 million of STAR merger-related integration costs during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. These costs primarily consist of technology migration and implementation, consulting and professional fees and employee severance costs.

Restructuring costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 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.

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.

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 and not a development property at the beginning of the previous year. Properties that are held for sale or have been sold are excluded from the same-store portfolio.

34

Non Same-Store Properties and Non Same-Store Portfolio

Properties that did not meet the definition of a same-store property as of the beginning of the previous year are added into the non same-store portfolio.

Development Property

A development property is a property that is either currently under development or is in lease-up prior to reaching overall occupancy of 90%.

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 $17.2 million as of September 30, 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;

36

•cash generated from operating activities;

•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 September 30, 2023 and 2022, we maintained cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash of approximately $49.0 million and $59.6 million, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents were generated from the following activities (dollars in thousands):

	For the Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2023		2022
Cash flow provided by operating activities	$	202,992	$	191,241
Cash flow used in investing activities	(142,617)		(174,162)
Cash flow used in financing activities	(55,404)		(23,168)
Net change in cash and cash equivalents, and restricted cash	4,971		(6,089)
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	$	48,988	$	59,582

Our cash inflows from operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were primarily driven by ongoing operations of our properties.

Our cash outflows from investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily due to $111.9 million of capital expenditures, $23.2 million of investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, and $48.5 million of investments in real estate under development, partially offset by $35.6 million of proceeds from one property disposition. Our cash outflows from investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily due $201.8 million of acquisitions of real estate properties, $55.6 million of capital expenditures, $51.4 million of investments in unconsolidated real estate entities, and $40.0 million of investments in real estate under development partially offset by $155.6 million of proceeds from four property dispositions and proceeds from insurance claims of $15.7 million.

Our cash outflows from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were primarily due to payment of dividends on our common stock and noncontrolling interests of $101.6 million partially offset by $57.5 million of net draws on our unsecured revolver. Our cash outflows from financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily due to credit facility and term loan repayments of $666.5 million and payment of dividends on our common stock and noncontrolling interests of $76.4 million partially offset by $687.5 million of proceeds from unsecured credit facilities and term loan restructurings and $48.8 million of proceeds from the issuance of common stock.

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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.

The Company has been named as a party in certain litigation filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee on behalf of putative classes of consumers alleging collusion among RealPage, Inc. ("RealPage"), us, and 46 other defendants who own or manage multifamily rental housing, to fix, raise, maintain, and stabilize multifamily rental housing pricing in violation of Section 1 of the Sherman Act. We deny all allegations of wrongdoing and will continue to vigorously defend the action.

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.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, holders of IROP units exchanged 0 and 144,600 units, respectively, for 0 and 144,600 shares, respectively, 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 September 30, 2023, 5,946,571 IROP units held by unaffiliated third parties remained outstanding.

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.

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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $31,772 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, necessary approvals are obtained, 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 each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 we consolidated a former unconsolidated real estate entity and recognized in-place leases with a value of $398. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $133 and $532, respectively, of amortization for intangible assets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $79 and $53,367, respectively, of amortization for intangible assets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we wrote-off fully amortized intangible assets of $0 and $1,099, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we wrote-off fully amortized intangible assets of $0 and $58,048, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, we expect to record additional amortization expense on current in-place intangible assets of $199 for the remainder of 2023.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred merger and integration costs of $275 and $3,477, 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 technology migration and implementation, consulting and professional fees. We incurred no merger and integration costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of our investments 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, taking into consideration both quantitative and qualitative factors, 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 and collection levels, occupancies for the respective and/or comparable properties, age and condition of the 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. We recorded impairment charges of $11,268, for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, on account of real estate classified as held for sale, and recorded no impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $55,083 and $161,670 of depreciation expense, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $49,268 and $146,222 of depreciation expense, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we wrote-off fully depreciated fixed assets of $7,563 and $15,596, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we wrote-off fully depreciated fixed assets of $0 and $3,092, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $35 and $866 of net casualty losses, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $191 and $7,176 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $1,926 and $5,094, respectively, of capitalized interest expense, on our

investments in real estate under development. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $618 and $1,404, respectively, of capitalized interest expense, on our two investments in real estate under development.

As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of our two investments in real estate under development in Denver, Colorado totaled $83,547 and $105,518, respectively, net of $77,520 and $0 placed in service, 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 consolidate entities that we control as well as any variable interest entity ("VIE") where we are the primary beneficiary. Under the VIE model, we 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 analyzed the initial accounting for each of our four investments in unconsolidated real estate entities and concluded that each is a voting interest entity and is not a VIE. Our equity interest varies for each of our four investments in unconsolidated real estate entities 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 these joint ventures through our ownership interests, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $1,176 and $3,271 of capitalized interest expense, on our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $484 and $969 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 nine months ended September 30, 2023. The following table summarizes the carrying amount and the fair value of our financial instruments as of the periods indicated:

	As of September 30, 2023				As of December 31, 2022
Financial Instrument	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Assets
Cash and cash equivalents	$	17,216	$	17,216	$	16,084	$	16,084
Restricted cash	31,772		31,772		27,933		27,933
Derivative assets	53,258		53,258		41,109		41,109
Liabilities
Debt:
Unsecured Revolver	240,235		242,468		164,283		169,842
Unsecured Term loans	597,390		601,772		596,612		611,265
Secured credit facilities	638,204		565,371		660,542		580,332
Mortgages (1)	1,239,881		1,116,377		1,210,208		1,088,579

(1)Includes indebtedness associated with real estate held for sale of $40,593.

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, we record assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as required by U.S. GAAP. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges. As discussed further in Note 3 “Investments in Real Estate”, we recognized an impairment charge of $11,268 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 at the property classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2023. The impairment charge was determined by comparing the fair value of the property to its carrying value. The fair value was based on an internally prepared valuation whose principal assumptions were unobservable cap rates that ranged from 6.0% - 6.5% and was determined to be a Level 3 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

l. Deferred Financing Costs

Under the effective interest method, 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.

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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $2,579 and $3,079, respectively, of operating lease right-of-use assets and $2,882 and $3,401, respectively, 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $219 and $631, respectively, of total operating lease expense which was recorded within property management expenses and general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $252 and $1,096, respectively, of total operating lease expense which was recorded within property management expenses 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 and nine months ended September 30, 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 was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is being 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized reimbursements of payroll related expenses of $593 and $2,170, respectively, in property operating expenses, $189 and $579, respectively, in property management expenses and $74 and $221, respectively, in general and administrative expenses.

p. Restructuring Costs

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we reorganized certain departments in our 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. No restructuring costs were recognized during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

q. Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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

Adopted Within these Condensed Consolidated 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Investments in Real Estate

NOTE 3: Investments in Real Estate

As of September 30, 2023, our investments in real estate consisted of 120 apartment properties (unaudited, including one consolidated joint venture) that contain 35,427 units (unaudited). The following table summarizes our investments in real estate, excluding one property we classified as held for sale:

	As of  September 30, 2023		As of  December 31, 2022		Depreciable Lives (In years)
Land	$	586,361	$	579,094	—
Building	5,728,541		5,695,711		40
Furniture, fixtures and equipment	439,120		340,438		5-10
Total investments in real estate	$	6,754,022	$	6,615,243
Accumulated depreciation	(567,200)		(425,034)
Investments in real estate, net	$	6,186,822	$	6,190,209

As of September 30, 2023, we owned one property, The Meadows at River Run, with 374 units (unaudited) in Chicago, Illinois that we initially classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2023 and that continued to be classified as held for sale. Based on ongoing negotiations, we recognized a $11,268 impairment charge during the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to the carrying value exceeding the expected sales price less transaction costs. We expect the sale to close in the fourth quarter of 2023 and expect to extinguish $40,593 of mortgage debt in connection with the sale.

Dispositions

On February 28, 2023, we sold Eagle Lake Landing apartments located in Indianapolis, Indiana for $37,300 and recognized a gain on sale of $985.

Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy

On October 26, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a plan, which we refer to as our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, to exit or reduce our presence in certain markets while also deleveraging our balance sheet. Our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy targets sales of up to 10 properties that are located in seven markets including the one property in Chicago, Illinois that was previously identified and continues to be held for sale as of September 30, 2023.

Under the plan, certain properties may be sold for proceeds that are less than the current carrying value. This could result in the recognition of an impairment loss in the fourth quarter 2023 with respect to some of these properties based on the outcome of sale negotiations. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we will continuously reevaluate the properties covered by our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy under the held for sale guidance as additional information becomes available during the sales process. If circumstances indicate a held for sale classification is appropriate for any of these properties, we will classify the identified properties as held for sale as of December 31, 2023 at the lower of carrying value or the expected sales price less transaction costs. The proceeds of these contemplated sales will be utilized to delever the balance sheet.

We are in various stages of marketing, negotiations, and buyer due diligence with respect to the properties targeted for sale. There can be no assurance that any of the sales will be consummated at expected pricing levels, within expected time frames, or at all.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate

NOTE 4: Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate

As of September 30, 2023, our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities had aggregate land, building, and construction in progress costs capitalized of $240,940 and aggregate construction debt of $125,065. We have not guaranteed 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 $1,178 and $3,158, respectively, from equity method investments during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and $1,477 and $2,411, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, 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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022:

					Carrying Value As Of
Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities	Location	Units (1) (Unaudited)	IRT Ownership Interest		September 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
Metropolis at Innsbrook (2)	Richmond, VA	402	84.8	%	$	17,576	$	17,331
Views of Music City II / The Crockett (3)	Nashville, TN	408	50.0	%	11,632		11,363

Total		1,463			$	87,592	$	80,220

(1)Represents the total number of units after development is complete and each property is placed in service.

(2)Operations commenced during the three months ended June 30, 2023 with 172 units (unaudited) placed in service. The remaining 230 units (unaudited) were placed in service during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

(3)Views of Music City phase II had 121 units (unaudited) placed in service during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and became an operating property consisting of 209 total units (unaudited) as of October 2, 2023. The Crockett is an operating property consisting of 199 units (unaudited) delivered during the three months ended March 31, 2023. We have one year from their respective delivery dates to exercise our purchase options on The Crockett and Views of Music City phase II.

(4)An amendment to the Virtuoso joint venture agreement on August 1, 2023 provided us with control over the major decisions that most significantly impact the joint venture and removed our joint venture partner’s rights to a promote interest. This caused us to reassess the accounting for Virtuoso, a former unconsolidated real estate entity that consists of 178 units (unaudited) in Huntsville, Alabama, during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Because we concluded that Virtuoso is a voting interest entity and that we now control the major decisions that most significantly impact the joint venture through our 90% voting interest, we began consolidating the assets and liabilities and operating results of Virtuoso effective August 1, 2023. In accordance with FASB Topic ASC 805, upon consolidation, we recognized the assets and liabilities of Virtuoso at carryover basis, allocating the individual assets and liabilities based upon their relative fair values on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities recognized upon the consolidation of Virtuoso, our former unconsolidated real estate entity during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, on the date of consolidation.

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 of $5,433 and $13,559 to earnings within interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, and we expect gains of $20,461 to be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income to earnings over the next 12 months. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we reclassified realized gains of $214 and realized losses of $3,408 to earnings within interest expense.

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.

Equity Compensation Plans

NOTE 8: Equity Compensation Plans

Long Term Incentive Plan

On May 18, 2022, our stockholders approved our 2022 Long Term Incentive Plan (the "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 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan, (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 and the Prior 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 and unrestricted common share awards 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	327,630	18.46
Vested	(253,400)	17.80
Forfeited	(60,073)	18.71
Balance, September 30,(1)	409,639	$	19.03

(1) The outstanding award balances above include 127,989 and 163,348 RSUs as of September 30, 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 nine months ended September 30, 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.

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)

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 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, necessary approvals are obtained, 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 each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 we consolidated a former unconsolidated real estate entity and recognized in-place leases with a value of $398. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $133 and $532, respectively, of amortization for intangible assets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $79 and $53,367, respectively, of amortization for intangible assets. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we wrote-off fully amortized intangible assets of $0 and $1,099, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we wrote-off fully amortized intangible assets of $0 and $58,048, respectively. As of September 30, 2023, we expect to record additional amortization expense on current in-place intangible assets of $199 for the remainder of 2023.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred merger and integration costs of $275 and $3,477, 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 technology migration and implementation, consulting and professional fees. We incurred no merger and integration costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Management evaluates the recoverability of our investments 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, taking into consideration both quantitative and qualitative factors, 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 and collection levels, occupancies for the respective and/or comparable properties, age and condition of the 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. We recorded impairment charges of $11,268, for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, on account of real estate classified as held for sale, and recorded no impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $55,083 and $161,670 of depreciation expense, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $49,268 and $146,222 of depreciation expense, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we wrote-off fully depreciated fixed assets of $7,563 and $15,596, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we wrote-off fully depreciated fixed assets of $0 and $3,092, 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $35 and $866 of net casualty losses, respectively. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $191 and $7,176 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 consolidate entities that we control as well as any variable interest entity ("VIE") where we are the primary beneficiary. Under the VIE model, we 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 analyzed the initial accounting for each of our four investments in unconsolidated real estate entities and concluded that each is a voting interest entity and is not a VIE. Our equity interest varies for each of our four investments in unconsolidated real estate entities 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 these joint ventures through our ownership interests, 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 InstrumentsWe 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 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.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred Financing CostsUnder the effective interest method, 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.

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 September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $2,579 and $3,079, respectively, of operating lease right-of-use assets and $2,882 and $3,401, respectively, 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. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recorded $219 and $631, respectively, of total operating lease expense which was recorded within property management expenses and general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recorded $252 and $1,096, respectively, of total operating lease expense which was recorded within property management expenses and general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Income Taxes

Income TaxesWe have elected to be taxed as a REIT. Accordingly, we recorded no income tax expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 was included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and is being 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we recognized reimbursements of payroll related expenses of $593 and $2,170, respectively, in property operating expenses, $189 and $579, respectively, in property management expenses and $74 and $221, respectively, in general and administrative expenses.

Restructuring Costs

Restructuring CostsDuring the three months ended March 31, 2023, we reorganized certain departments in our 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.

Adopted Within these Condensed Consolidated 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, we record assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as required by U.S. GAAP. Generally, assets are recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges. As discussed further in Note 3 “Investments in Real Estate”, we recognized an impairment charge of $11,268 during the three months ended September 30, 2023 at the property classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2023. The impairment charge was determined by comparing the fair value of the property to its carrying value. The fair value was based on an internally prepared valuation whose principal assumptions were unobservable cap rates that ranged from 6.0% - 6.5% and was determined to be a Level 3 fair value measurement within the fair value hierarchy.

(2)Operations commenced during the three months ended June 30, 2023 with 172 units (unaudited) placed in service. The remaining 230 units (unaudited) were placed in service during the three months ended September 30, 2023.

(3)Views of Music City phase II had 121 units (unaudited) placed in service during the three months ended September 30, 2023 and became an operating property consisting of 209 total units (unaudited) as of October 2, 2023. The Crockett is an operating property consisting of 199 units (unaudited) delivered during the three months ended March 31, 2023. We have one year from their respective delivery dates to exercise our purchase options on The Crockett and Views of Music City phase II.

(4)An amendment to the Virtuoso joint venture agreement on August 1, 2023 provided us with control over the major decisions that most significantly impact the joint venture and removed our joint venture partner’s rights to a promote interest. This caused us to reassess the accounting for Virtuoso, a former unconsolidated real estate entity that consists of 178 units (unaudited) in Huntsville, Alabama, during the quarter ended September 30, 2023. Because we concluded that Virtuoso is a voting interest entity and that we now control the major decisions that most significantly impact the joint venture through our 90% voting interest, we began consolidating the assets and liabilities and operating results of Virtuoso effective August 1, 2023. In accordance with FASB Topic ASC 805, upon consolidation, we recognized the assets and liabilities of Virtuoso at carryover basis, allocating the individual assets and liabilities based upon their relative fair values on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
