“We are pleased with our first quarter 2015 performance as we made steady incremental improvement across our core operating and financial metrics,” said David N. Miller, Silver Bay’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, subsequent to quarter end we closed a strategically important transaction that will create significant value for our stockholders through increased cash flow and net asset value growth in coming quarters.”
Recent Announcements
On April 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of the portfolio of properties (the “Portfolio”) from The American Home. The Company acquired 2,373 properties in the transaction and had an additional 89 properties under contract with The American Home to acquire at subsequent closings. The aggregate purchase price for the Portfolio acquisition, inclusive of the 89 properties not acquired as of April 1, 2015, was $263.0 million. The Portfolio consists of homes primarily located in Atlanta, Charlotte, Tampa and Orlando.
Financial Results
Silver Bay reported total revenue of $22.3 million for the first quarter of 2015, a 23% increase compared to total revenue of $18.1 million for the first quarter of 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in leased properties generating rental income during the first quarter and to a lesser extent, rental growth. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2015 was $3.6 million, or $(0.10) per common share, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2014 of $4.4 million, or $(0.11) per common share.
The Company reported net operating income (“NOI”) of $11.9 million for the first quarter of 2015, a 29% increase compared to NOI of $9.2 million for the first quarter of 2014. Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”) for the first quarter of 2015 was $4.5 million, or $0.12 per share, a 71% increase on a per share basis compared to Core FFO for the first quarter of 2014 of $2.7 million, or $0.07 per share(1). NOI and Core FFO are non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of net loss to NOI and Core FFO are included in the financial and operating tables accompanying this press release.
(1) Per share means per weighted average common share and common units of the Operating Partnership.
Portfolio Summary and Operating Metrics
Silver Bay owned a portfolio of 6,864 single-family properties as of March 31, 2015. The following table provides a summary of Silver Bay’s portfolio and operating metrics for the first quarter of 2015 and the fourth quarter of 2014:

Estimated Net Asset Value
Silver Bay reported an estimated net asset value (“Estimated NAV”) per share of $20.11, based on an estimated fair market value (“Estimated Portfolio Value”) of the Company’s properties of $1.1 billion as of March 31, 2015. The Company’s book value per share was $15.19 as of March 31, 2015. The difference between Estimated NAV and book value per share is attributable to multiple factors, including aggregate home price appreciation in Silver Bay markets, purchasing at discounts to market prices, value created by the Company’s renovations in excess of the cost of the renovations, and the exclusion of accumulated depreciation in the calculation of Estimated Portfolio Value.
The Estimated Portfolio Value of the Company’s properties is calculated by Silver Bay’s proprietary automated valuation model (“AVM”) which estimates the value of the Company’s properties on an individual basis based on comparable sales in the residential real estate market, without reference to the intended use for the properties. Estimated NAV does not ascribe any value to in-place leases or to the portfolio as a whole (as compared to the sum of the values of the individual properties), nor does it consider cash flow or other yield metrics. Estimated NAV and Estimated Portfolio Value are non-GAAP financial measures. A reconciliation of book value to Estimated NAV is included in the financial and operating tables accompanying this press release.
Operating Metrics
Silver Bay reported an occupancy rate of 96% on stabilized properties as of March 31, 2015, an increase of two percentage points from the prior quarter. Silver Bay reported an occupancy rate of 92% for the aggregate portfolio as of March 31, 2015, an increase of six percentage points compared to an occupancy rate of 86% on the aggregate portfolio as of December 31, 2014. The Company acquired 85 single-family properties in the first quarter of 2015. The increase in the stabilized occupancy percentage was primarily a function of positive leasing momentum in the Jacksonville, Atlanta and Phoenix markets. A summary of Silver Bay’s occupancy rates is included in the financial and operating tables accompanying this press release.
Silver Bay reported an average monthly rent for the aggregate portfolio of $1,200 for the first quarter of 2015, compared to an average monthly rent of $1,194 for the fourth quarter of 2014.
Dividend Declaration
The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.09 per share of common stock for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. The dividend was paid April 17, 2015 to common stockholders of record at the close of business on April 6, 2015.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company's liquidity and capital resources as of March 31, 2015 consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $32.9 million, escrow deposits of $22.2 million and $317.8 million borrowing capacity on its revolving credit facility.
The American Home Portfolio acquisition was financed using proceeds obtained under the Company's revolving credit facility, which was amended during the first quarter of 2015 to increase the borrowing capacity to $400.0 million. As of April 1, 2015, the Company had $51.0 million in additional borrowing capacity after funding for the Portfolio acquisition and transaction related expenses.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Estimated Portfolio and Estimated Net Asset Value
The Estimated Portfolio Value reflects the value of Silver Bay’s properties calculated by the Company’s proprietary AVM, less the Company’s estimate of the remaining cost to renovate such properties, or Estimated Renovation Reserve. The AVM estimates the value of the Company’s properties on an individual basis based on prior comparable sales in the residential real estate market, without reference to the intended use for the properties. These individual property values are then aggregated and reduced by the Estimated Renovation Reserve, which accounts for the AVM assumption that renovations for all properties have been completed, to derive the Estimated Portfolio Value of the Company’s properties. The difference between the Estimated Portfolio Value and net investments in real estate as of March 31, 2015 is attributable to multiple factors, including aggregate home price appreciation in Silver Bay markets, purchasing at discounts to market prices, value created by the Company’s renovations in excess of the cost of the renovations, and the exclusion of accumulated depreciation in the calculation of Estimated Portfolio Value.
Estimated NAV is intended to be an estimate of the value of all of the Company’s assets net of liabilities. To calculate Estimated NAV, the Company starts with its historical book value, subtracts its historical net investments in real estate and adds its Estimated Portfolio Value. For purposes of calculating Estimated Portfolio Value and Estimated NAV, the Company does not deduct the estimated costs of selling the properties in the portfolio, including commissions and closing costs. Further, the Company ascribes no value to existing leases or to the portfolio as a whole (as compared to the sum of the values of the individual properties), nor does it consider cash flow or other yield metrics.
Estimated Portfolio Value and Estimated NAV are non-GAAP financial measures. Silver Bay provides the Estimated Portfolio Value and Estimated NAV as additional tools for investors seeking to value the Company. These metrics should be considered along with other available information in valuing and assessing Silver Bay, including the Company’s GAAP financial measures and other cash flow and yield metrics, and these metrics should not be viewed as a substitute for book value, net investments in real estate, equity, net income or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of the Company’s profitability or liquidity.
Net Operating Income
Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as total revenue less property operating and maintenance, real estate taxes, homeowners’ association fees, property management expenses, and certain other non-cash or unrelated non-operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, the former advisory management fees, portfolio acquisition expense, general and administrative expenses, share-based compensation, interest expense, and other non-comparable items as applicable. Additionally, NOI excludes certain property management add backs such as the former 5% property management fee payable prior to the Internalization because it more closely represented additional advisory management fee, expensed acquisition fees and costs, and certain other property management costs.
NOI should not be considered an alternative to net loss or net cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as indications of Silver Bay’s performance or as measures of liquidity. Although the Company uses this non-GAAP measure for comparability in assessing its performance against other REITs, not all REITs compute this non-GAAP measure in the same manner. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company’s basis for computing this non-GAAP measure is comparable with that of other REITs.
Funds From Operations and Core Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations ("FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes, when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of, and impairment losses recognized with respect to, depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated on the same basis to determine FFO.
Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses as a supplemental measure of performance. The Company believes that Core FFO is further helpful to investors as it provides a more consistent measurement of performance across reporting periods by removing the impact of certain items that are not comparable from
4
period to period. The Company adjusts FFO for expensed acquisition fees and costs, including those associated with the Portfolio acquisition, certain fees and expenses related to the securitization transaction, share-based compensation, write-offs of expenses associated with changes in debt structure, and certain other non-comparable costs to arrive at Core FFO.
FFO and Core FFO should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or net cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as indications of our performance or as measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. In addition, although the Company uses these non-GAAP measures for comparability in assessing performance against other REITs, not all REITs compute the same non-GAAP measures. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company's basis for computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other REITs. This is due in part to the differences in capitalization policies used by different companies and the significant effect these capitalization policies have on FFO and Core FFO. Real estate costs which are accounted for as capital improvements are added to the carrying value of the property and depreciated over time, whereas real estate costs that are expenses are accounted for as a current period expense. This affects FFO and Core FFO because costs that are accounted for as expenses reduce FFO and Core FFO. Conversely, real estate costs associated with assets that are capitalized and then subsequently depreciated are added back to net income to calculate FFO and Core FFO.
FFO and Core FFO are calculated on a gross basis and, as such, do not reflect adjustments for the noncontrolling interests - Operating Partnership.

SILVER BAY REALTY TRUST CORP.
DEFINITIONS AND RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT SHARE DATA)
Estimated Portfolio and Estimated Net Asset Value
Estimated Portfolio Value and Estimated NAV are non-GAAP financial measures. Silver Bay provides the Estimated Portfolio Value and Estimated NAV and believes such metrics are useful as additional tools for investors seeking to value the Company. These metrics should be considered along with other available information in valuing and assessing Silver Bay, including the Company’s GAAP financial measures or other cash flow or yield metrics and should not be viewed as a substitute for book value, net investments in real estate, equity, net income or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of the Company’s profitability or liquidity.
A description of the Company’s AVM along with certain assumptions and limitations related to its AVM and its calculations of Estimated Portfolio Value and Estimated NAV can be found on the Company’s website at www.silverbayrealtytrustcorp.com in the Investor Relations section under the non-GAAP Reconciliations link.
The following is a reconciliation of the Company’s investments in real estate to Estimated Portfolio Value and book value to Estimated NAV:

(2) | Difference between AVM derived value of the Company’s portfolio of properties of $1.1 billion which assumes all properties are fully renovated, and net investments in real estate. |
(3) | Estimated renovation reserve is calculated on properties in the portfolio that are not currently stabilized and for which the initial renovation has not been completed. |
(4) | Book value as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles represents total assets less total liabilities and less preferred stock in mezzanine or total equity. |
Net Operating Income
Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as total revenue less property operating and maintenance, real estate taxes, homeowners’ association fees, property management expenses, and certain other non-cash or unrelated non-operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, the former advisory management fees, portfolio acquisition expense, general and administrative expenses, share-based compensation, interest expense, and other non-comparable items as applicable. Additionally, NOI excludes certain property management add backs such as the former 5% property management fee payable prior to the Internalization because it more closely represented additional advisory management fee, expensed acquisition fees and costs, and certain other property management costs.

The Company considers NOI to be a meaningful financial measure when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company believes NOI is helpful to investors in understanding the core performance of our real estate operations.
The following is a reconciliation of NOI to net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (amounts in thousands):

Funds From Operations and Core Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations ("FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes, when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of, and impairment losses recognized with respect to, depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated on the same basis to determine FFO.
Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses as a supplemental measure of performance. The Company believes that Core FFO is further helpful to investors as it provides a more consistent measurement of performance across reporting periods by removing the impact of certain items that are not comparable from period to period. The Company adjusts FFO for expensed acquisition fees and costs, including those associated with the Portfolio acquisition, certain fees and expenses related to the securitization transaction, share-based compensation, write-offs of expenses associated with changes in debt structure, and certain other non-comparable costs to arrive at Core FFO.
FFO and Core FFO should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or net cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as indications of our performance or as measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. In addition, although the Company uses these non-GAAP measures for comparability in assessing performance against other REITs, not all REITs compute the same non-GAAP measures. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company's basis for computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other REITs. This is due in part to the differences in capitalization policies used by different companies and the significant effect these capitalization policies have on FFO and Core FFO. Real estate costs which are accounted for as capital improvements are added to the carrying value of the property and depreciated over time, whereas real estate costs that are expenses are accounted for as a current period expense. This affects FFO and Core FFO because costs that are accounted for as expenses reduce FFO and Core FFO. Conversely, real estate costs associated with assets that are capitalized and then subsequently depreciated are added back to net income to
14
calculate FFO and Core FFO.
FFO and Core FFO are calculated on a gross basis and, as such, do not reflect adjustments for the noncontrolling interests - Operating Partnership.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP and the Company's calculations of FFO and Core FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. Also presented is information regarding the weighted-average number of shares of common stock and common units of the Operating Partnership outstanding used for the computation of FFO and Core FFO per share (amounts in thousands, except share and per-share amounts):
