• Same Store NOI increased 3.7% year over year on 2.5% Same Store Core Revenues growth and no growth in Same Store Core Operating Expenses.
• Same Store Average Occupancy was 97.2%, a slightly higher result than expected, representing a reduction of 60 basis points year over year.
• Same Store renewal rent growth of 5.2% and Same Store new lease rent growth of (0.1)% drove Same Store blended rent growth of 3.6%.
• Same Store Bad Debt improved 10 basis points year over year to 0.7% of gross rental revenue, one of our strongest quarterly results since before the pandemic.

Subsequent to quarter end, on April 3, 2025, S&P Global Ratings reaffirmed our issuer and issue-level credit ratings of ‘BBB’ and upgraded our outlook to ‘Positive’ from ‘Stable.’ In addition, on April 28, 2025, we amended our $725 million term loan that was originally scheduled to mature in June 2029.

Comments from Chief Executive Officer Dallas Tanner

“Our first quarter 2025 financial and operational results highlight the stability and resilience of our business, the dedication of our teams, and the compelling value proposition we offer our residents. This is demonstrated by the significant cost difference between owning and leasing a home in our markets, our consistently positive customer survey results, and our residents’ renewal rates that are among the highest in the industry. As outlined within this release, Same Store renewal rent growth, which constitutes a substantial majority of our leasing activity, remained solid at 5.2% during the first quarter. At the same time, we’re pleased to share that new lease rent growth has accelerated each month of 2025 so far, with March new lease rate growth at 1.3% and preliminary April new lease rate growth at 2.7%.

“Whatever may come in the broader economic environment, we take pride in offering a crucial, valuable, and sought-after leasing option for the over 14 million Americans who choose to lease a home. I would like to thank our teams for their efforts in posting a strong start to 2025, and for setting a high standard for the rest of the year. We continue to manage our expectations cautiously given it’s still early in the year, while remaining confident in the strength, stability, and growth opportunity of our core business. We are therefore pleased to reiterate our FY 2025 guidance as initially announced two months ago.”

Glossary & Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial and Other Operating Measures

Financial and operating measures found in the Earnings Release and Supplemental Information include certain measures used by Invitation Homes management that are measures not defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). These measures are defined herein and, as applicable, reconciled to the most comparable GAAP measures.

Financial Results

Net Income

Year over year, net income per common share — diluted for Q1 2025 increased 16.5% to $0.27, primarily due to increases in total revenues and gain on sale of property, net of tax.

Core FFO

Year over year, Core FFO per share for Q1 2025 increased 3.5% to $0.48, primarily due to NOI growth.

AFFO

Year over year, AFFO per share for Q1 2025 increased 4.0% to $0.42, primarily due to the increase in Core FFO per share described above.

Operating Results

Same Store NOI

For the Same Store Portfolio of 78,078 homes, Same Store NOI for Q1 2025 increased 3.7% year over year on Same Store Core Revenues growth of 2.5% and no growth in Same Store Core Operating Expenses.

Same Store Core Revenues

Same Store Core Revenues growth for Q1 2025 of 2.5% year over year was primarily driven by a 3.1% increase in Average Monthly Rent, a 10 basis point year over year improvement in Bad Debt as a percentage of gross rental revenue, and a 2.2% increase in other income, net of resident recoveries, partially offset by a 60 basis point year over year decline in Average Occupancy.

Same Store Core Operating Expenses

Same Store Core Operating Expenses for Q1 2025 had no growth year over year as a result of a 1.0% increase in fixed expenses that was fully offset by a 2.1% reduction in controllable expenses.

Investment and Property Management Activity

Acquisitions for Q1 2025 totaled 631 homes for approximately $213 million through our various acquisition channels. This included 577 wholly owned homes for approximately $194 million and 54 homes for approximately $19 million in our joint ventures. Dispositions for Q1 2025 included 454 wholly owned homes for gross proceeds of approximately $173 million and 16 homes for gross proceeds of approximately $6 million in our joint ventures.

A summary of our owned and/or managed homes is included in the following table:

Balance Sheet and Capital Markets Activity

As of March 31, 2025, we had $1,364 million in available liquidity through a combination of unrestricted cash and undrawn capacity on our revolving credit facility. In addition, our total indebtedness of $8,184 million consisted of 83.0% unsecured debt and 17.0% secured debt; 87.5% of our total debt was fixed rate or swapped to fixed rate; approximately 90% of our wholly owned homes were unencumbered; and our Net debt / TTM adjusted EBITDAre was 5.3x. We have no debt reaching final maturity before 2027.

Subsequent to quarter end, on April 3, 2025, S&P Global Ratings reaffirmed our issuer and issue-level credit ratings of ‘BBB’ and upgraded our outlook to ‘Positive’ from ‘Stable.’ In addition, on April 28, 2025, we amended our $725 million term loan that was originally scheduled to mature in June 2029. The amended term loan has a final maturity date in April 2030 and bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus 85 basis points, 40 basis points lower than the original term loan, based on our credit ratings at closing.

FY 2025 Guidance Details

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

Our full year 2025 guidance remains unchanged from initial guidance provided in February 2025, as outlined in the table below.

Glossary and Reconciliations

Average Monthly Rent

Average monthly rent represents average monthly rental income per home for occupied properties in an identified population of homes over the measurement period, and reflects the impact of non-service rental concessions and contractual rent increases amortized over the life of the lease.

Average Occupancy

Average occupancy for an identified population of homes represents (i) the total number of days that the homes in such population were occupied during the measurement period, divided by (ii) the total number of days that the homes in such population were owned during the measurement period.

Bad Debt

Bad debt represents our reserves for residents’ accounts receivables balances that are aged greater than 30 days, under the rationale that a resident’s security deposit should cover approximately the first 30 days of receivables. For all resident receivables balances aged greater than 30 days, the amount reserved as bad debt is 100% of outstanding receivables from the resident, less the amount of the resident’s security deposit on hand. For the purpose of determining age of receivables, charges are considered to be due based on the terms of the original lease, not based on a payment plan if one is in place. All rental revenues and other property income, in both Total Portfolio and Same Store Portfolio presentations, are reflected net of bad debt.

Core Operating Expenses

Core operating expenses for an identified population of homes reflect property operating and maintenance expenses, excluding any expenses recovered from residents.

Core Revenues

Core revenues for an identified population of homes reflects total revenues, net of any resident recoveries.

EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre

EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre are supplemental, non-GAAP measures often utilized to evaluate the performance of real estate companies. We define EBITDA as net income or loss computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) before the following items: interest expense; income tax expense; depreciation and amortization; and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) recommends as a best practice that REITs that report an EBITDA performance measure also report EBITDAre. We define EBITDAre, consistent with the Nareit definition, as EBITDA, further adjusted for gain on sale of property, net of tax, impairment on depreciated real estate investments, and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjusted EBITDAre is defined as EBITDAre before the following items: share-based compensation expense; severance expense; casualty losses and reserves, net; (gains) losses on investments in equity securities, net; and other income and expenses. EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre are used as supplemental financial performance measures by management and by external users of our financial statements, such as investors and commercial banks. Set forth below is additional detail on how management uses EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre as measures of performance.

The GAAP measure most directly comparable to EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre is net income or loss. EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre are not used as measures of our liquidity and should not be considered alternatives to net income or loss or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Our EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre may not be comparable to the EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre of other companies due to the fact that not all companies use the same definitions of EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other companies. See below for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to EBITDA, EBITDAre, and Adjusted EBITDAre.

Funds from Operations (FFO), Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO), and Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)

FFO, Core FFO, and Adjusted FFO are supplemental, non-GAAP measures often utilized to evaluate the performance of real estate companies. FFO is defined by Nareit as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, plus depreciation, amortization and impairment of real estate assets, and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. We define Core FFO as FFO adjusted for the following: non-cash interest expense related to amortization of deferred financing costs, loan discounts, and non-cash interest expense from derivatives; share-based compensation expense; legal settlements; severance expense; casualty (gains) losses and reserves, net; and (gains) losses on investments in equity and other securities, net, as applicable. We define Adjusted FFO as Core FFO less Recurring Capital Expenditures that are necessary to help preserve the value, and maintain the functionality, of our homes. Where appropriate, FFO, Core FFO, and Adjusted FFO are adjusted for our share of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

We believe that FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of the operating performance of our business because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization. Because real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management considers FFO an appropriate supplemental performance measure as it excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, impairment on depreciated real estate investments, gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated homes, as well non-controlling interests, from GAAP net income or loss. We believe that Core FFO and Adjusted FFO are also meaningful supplemental measures of our operating performance for the same reasons as FFO and are further helpful to investors as they provide a more consistent measurement of our performance across reporting periods by removing the impact of certain items that are not comparable from period to period.

The GAAP measure most directly comparable to Core FFO and Adjusted FFO is net income or loss. FFO, Core FFO, and Adjusted FFO are not used as measures of our liquidity and should not be considered alternatives to net income or loss or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Our FFO, Core FFO, and Adjusted FFO may not be comparable to the FFO, Core FFO, and Adjusted FFO of other companies due to the fact that not all companies use the same definition of FFO, Core FFO, and Adjusted FFO. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other companies. See “Reconciliation of FFO, Core FFO, and Adjusted FFO” for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to FFO, Core FFO, and Adjusted FFO.

Net Operating Income (NOI)

NOI is a non-GAAP measure often used to evaluate the performance of real estate companies. We define NOI for an identified population of homes as rental revenues and other property income less property operating and maintenance expense (which consists primarily of property taxes, insurance, HOA fees (when applicable), market-level personnel expenses, repairs and maintenance, leasing costs, and marketing expense). NOI excludes: interest expense; depreciation and amortization; property management expense; general and administrative expense; impairment and other; gain on sale of property, net of tax; (gains) losses on investments in equity securities, net; other income and expenses; management fee revenues; and income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

The GAAP measure most directly comparable to NOI is net income or loss. NOI is not used as a measure of liquidity and should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss or any other measure of financial performance presented in accordance with GAAP. Our NOI may not be comparable to the NOI of other companies due to the fact that not all companies use the same definition of NOI. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our basis for computing this non-GAAP measure is comparable with that of other companies.

We believe that Same Store NOI is also a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance for the same reasons as NOI and is further helpful to investors as it provides a more consistent measurement of our performance across reporting periods by reflecting NOI for homes in our Same Store Portfolio.

See below for a reconciliation of GAAP net income to NOI for our total portfolio and NOI for our Same Store Portfolio.

Recurring Capital Expenditures or Recurring CapEx

Recurring Capital Expenditures or Recurring CapEx represents general replacements and expenditures required to preserve and maintain the value and functionality of a home and our systems as a single-family rental.

Rental Rate Growth

Rental rate growth for any home represents the percentage difference between the monthly rent from an expiring lease and the monthly rent from the next lease, and, in each case, reflects the impact of any amortized non-service rent concessions and amortized contractual rent increases. Leases are either renewal leases, where our current resident chooses to stay for a subsequent lease term, or a new lease, where our previous resident moves out and a new resident signs a lease to occupy the same home.

Same Store / Same Store Portfolio

Same Store or Same Store portfolio includes, for a given reporting period, wholly owned homes that have been stabilized and seasoned, excluding homes that have been sold, homes that have been identified for sale to an owner occupant and have become vacant, homes that have been deemed inoperable or significantly impaired by casualty loss events or force majeure, homes acquired in portfolio transactions that are deemed not to have undergone renovations of sufficiently similar quality and characteristics as our existing Same Store portfolio, and homes in markets that we have announced an intent to exit where we no longer operate a significant number of homes.

Homes are considered stabilized if they have (i) completed an initial renovation and (ii) entered into at least one post-initial renovation lease. An acquired portfolio that is both leased and deemed to be of sufficiently similar quality and characteristics as our existing Same Store portfolio may be considered stabilized at the time of acquisition.

Homes are considered to be seasoned once they have been stabilized for at least 15 months prior to January 1^st of the year in which the Same Store portfolio was established.

We believe presenting information about the portion of our portfolio that has been fully operational for the entirety of a given reporting period and our prior year comparison period provides investors with meaningful information about the performance of our comparable homes across periods and about trends in our organic business.

Total Homes / Total Portfolio

Total homes or total portfolio refers to the total number of homes owned, whether or not stabilized, and excludes any properties previously acquired in purchases that have been subsequently rescinded or vacated. Unless otherwise indicated, total homes or total portfolio refers to the wholly owned homes and excludes homes owned in joint ventures.

Turnover Rate

Turnover rate represents the number of instances that homes in an identified population become unoccupied in a given period, divided by the number of homes in such population.
