CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Form 10-Q”) of VineBrook Homes Trust, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, or the “Company”) other than historical facts may be considered forward-looking statements. In particular, statements relating to our business and investment strategies, plans or intentions, acquisitions, the Internalization (as defined below), including the expected timing of the transaction, our liquidity and capital resources, our performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Furthermore, all statements regarding future financial performance (including market conditions) are forward-looking statements. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Form 10-Q are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “would,” “result,” the negative version of these words and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements.

 

Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We caution you against relying on any of these forward-looking statements.

 

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, liquidity or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

 

 

risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, including unpredictable variants and future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases;

 

 

risks associated with our limited operating history and the possibility that we may not replicate the historical results achieved by other entities managed or sponsored by affiliates of NexPoint Real Estate Advisors V, L.P. (our “Adviser”), members of VineBrook Homes, LLC’s (our “Manager”) management team or their affiliates;

 

 

our dependence on our Adviser, Manager and their affiliates and personnel to conduct our day-to-day operations and potential conflicts of interest with our Adviser, Manager and their affiliates and personnel;

 

 

risks associated with the Manager’s ability to terminate the Management Agreements (as defined below) and risks associated with any potential internalization of our management functions;

 

 

loss of key personnel of our Adviser and our Manager;

 

 

risks associated with the fluctuation in the net asset value (“NAV”) per share amounts;

 

 

unfavorable changes in economic conditions and their effects on the real estate industry generally and our operations and financial condition, including our ability to access funding and generate returns for stockholders;

 

 

the risk we make significant changes to our strategies in a market downturn, or fail to do so;

the risk of rising interest rates and our ability to mitigate the related risks through long-term fixed interest rate loans and interest rate hedges;

 

 

risks associated with ownership of real estate, including properties in transition, subjectivity of valuation, environmental matters and lack of liquidity in our assets;

 

 

risks related to increasing property taxes, homeowner’s associations (“HOAs”) fees and insurance costs may negatively affect our financial results;

 

 

risks associated with acquisitions, including the risk of expanding our scale of operations and acquisitions, which could adversely impact anticipated yields;

 

ii

 

 

risks associated with leasing real estate, including the risks that rents do not increase sufficiently to keep pace with rising costs of operations and competitive pressures from other types of properties or market conditions that incentivize tenants to purchase their residences;

 

 

risks related to tenant relief laws, including laws regulating evictions, rent control laws, executive orders, administrative orders and other regulations that may impact our rental income and profitability;

 

 

risks related to governmental laws, regulations and rules applicable to our properties or that may be passed in the future;

 

 

risks relating to the timing and costs of the renovation of properties which has the potential to adversely affect our operating results and ability to make distributions;

 

 

risks related to our ability to change our major policies, operations and targeted investments without stockholder consent;

risks related to climate change and natural disasters;

 

 

risks related to failure to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”);

 

 

risks related to failure of our OP (defined below) to be taxable as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, possibly causing us to fail to qualify for or to maintain REIT status;

 

 

risks related to compliance with REIT requirements, which may limit our ability to hedge our liabilities effectively and cause us to forgo otherwise attractive opportunities, liquidate certain of our investments or incur tax liabilities;

 

 

the risk that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) may consider certain sales of properties to be prohibited transactions, resulting in a 100% penalty tax on any taxable gain;

 

 

the ineligibility of dividends payable by REITs for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends;

 

 

risks associated with the stock ownership restrictions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) for REITs and the stock ownership limit imposed by our amended and restated charter;

 

 

recent and potential legislative or regulatory tax changes or other actions affecting REITs;

 

 

failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness or pay distributions at expected levels;

 

 

risks associated with purchasing single-family rental (“SFR”) properties through the foreclosure auction process;

 

 

damage associated with SFR properties sold through short sales or foreclosure sales may require extensive renovation;

 

 

risks associated with the Highland Capital Management, L.P. (“Highland”) bankruptcy, including related litigation and potential conflicts of interest; and

 

 

any of the other risks included under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended (File No. 000-56274),10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 30, 2021 (the “Form 10”February 23, 2022 (our “Annual Report”).

 

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. They are based on estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this Form 10-Q. We undertake no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes, except as required by law.

VINEBROOK HOMES TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

 

1. Organization and Description of Business

 

VineBrook Homes Trust, Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, “us,” “our”) was incorporated in Maryland on July 18, 2018 and has elected to be taxed as a REIT.real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The Company is focused on acquiring, renovating, leasing, maintaining and otherwise managing SFRsingle family rental (“SFR”) home investments primarily located in large to medium size cities and suburbs located in the midwestern, heartland and southeastern United States. Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through VineBrook Homes Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “OP”), the Company’s operating partnership, as the Company owns its properties indirectly through the OP. VineBrook Homes OP GP, LLC (the “OP GP”), is the general partner of the OP. As of September 30, 20212022, there were a combined 22,932,25025,346,922 Class A, Class B and Class C units of the OP (collectively, “OP Units”), of which 19,320,92521,542,876 Class A OP Units, or 84.3%85.0%, were owned by the Company, 2,691,330 Class B OP Units, or 11.7%10.6%, were owned by NexPoint Real Estate Opportunities, LLC (“NREO”), 85,68489,037 Class C OP Units, or 0.4%, were owned by NexPoint Real Estate Strategies FundNRESF REIT Sub, LLC (“NRESF”), 135,218140,509 Class C OP Units, or 0.6%, were owned by GAF REIT, LLC (“GAF REIT”) and 699,093883,170 Class C OP Units, or 3.0%3.4%, were owned by limited partners that were sellers in the Formation Transaction (defined below) (and in certain instances affiliated with the equity holders of the Manager) (the “VineBrook Contributors”) or other Company insiders. NREO, NRESF NREC and GAF REIT are noncontrolling limited partners unaffiliated with the Company but are affiliates of the Adviser (defined below). The Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the OP (the “OP LPA”) generally provides that Class A OP Units and Class B OP Units each have 50.0% of the voting power of the OP Units, including with respect to the election of directors to the Partnership Board (defined below in Note 810), and the Class C OP Units have no voting power. Each Class A OP Unit, Class B OP Unit and Class C OP Unit otherwise represents substantially the same economic interest in the OP.

 

The Company began operations on November 1, 2018 as a result of the acquisition of various partnerships and limited liability companies owned and operated by the VineBrook Contributors and other third parties, which owned 4,129 SFR assets located in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana (the “Initial Portfolio”) for a total purchase price of approximately $330.2 million, including closing and financing costs of $6.0 million (the “Formation Transaction”). On November 1, 2018, the Company accepted subscriptions for 1,097,367 shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.01 (“Shares”), for gross proceeds of approximately $27.4 million in connection with the Formation Transaction. The proceeds from the issuance of Shares were used to acquire OP Units. The OP used the capital contribution from the Company to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Initial Portfolio. The remaining purchase price and closing costs were funded by a capital contribution totaling $70.7 million from NREO, $8.6 million of equity rolled over from VineBrook Contributors, and $241.4 million from a Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac”) mortgage (the “Initial Mortgage”) provided by KeyBank N.A. (“KeyBank”). On May 1, 2019 (the “Release Date”), approximately $1.4 million worth of OP Units were released to various VineBrook Contributors from an indemnity reserve escrow that was established at the time the Initial Portfolio was acquired. From the time the escrow reserve was established until the Release Date, no indemnity claims were made against said escrow.

 

Between November 1, 2018 and September 30, 20212022, the Company, through the SPEs (as defined in Note 3) owned by the OP, purchased 11,75820,220 additional homes and sold 100196 homes within the VineBrook reportable segment (see Note 15), and through the OP’s consolidated investment in NexPoint Homes (as defined in Note 2) purchased 2,544 additional homes. Together with the Initial Portfolio, the Company, through the OP’s SPEs and its consolidation of NexPoint Homes, indirectly owned an interest in 15,78726,697 homes (the “Portfolio”) in 1620 states as of September 30, 20212022. The acquisitions of the additional homes in the VineBrook reportable segment were funded by loans (see Note 57), proceeds from the sale of Shares and Preferred Shares (defined below) and excess cash generated from operations.

 

The Company is externally managed by the Adviser,NexPoint Real Estate Advisors V, L.P. (the “Adviser”), through an agreement dated November 1, 2018, and subsequently amended and restated on May 4, 2020, for an initial term endingrenewed on November 1, 2021 and amended on October 25, 2022 (the “Advisory Agreement”) and. The Advisory Agreement will automatically renew on the anniversary of the renewal date for one-year terms thereafter,hereafter, unless otherwise terminated. The Adviser provides asset management services to the Company. The OP caused the SPEs to retain the Manager,VineBrook Homes LLC (the “Manager”), an affiliate of certain VineBrook Contributors, to renovate, lease, maintain, and operate the PortfolioVineBrook properties under management agreements (as amended, the “Management Agreements”) that generally have an initial three-year term with one-year automatic renewals, unless otherwise terminated. The Management Agreements are supplemented by a side letter (as amended and restated, the “Side Letter”) by and among the Company, the OP, the OP GP, the Manager and certain of its affiliates. Certain SPEs from time to time may have property management agreements with independent third parties that are not the Manager. These are typically the result of maintaining legacy property managers after an acquisition to help transition the properties to the Manager or, in the case of a future sale, to manage the properties until they are sold. All of the Company’s investment decisions are made by employees of the Adviser and the Manager, subject to general oversight by the OP’s investment committee and the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”). Because the equity holders of the Manager own OP Units, the Manager is considered an affiliate for financial reporting disclosure purposes.

 

The Company’s investment objectives are to maximize the cash flow and value of properties owned, acquire properties with cash flow growth potential, provide quarterly cash distributions and achieve long-term capital appreciation for its stockholders through targeted management and a renovation program for the homes acquired.

 

On August 28, 2018, the Company commenced the offering of 40,000,000 Shares through a continuous private placement (the “Continuous“Private Offering”), under regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) (and various state securities law provisions) for a maximum of $1.0 billion of its Shares. The ContinuousPrivate Offering expiresclosed on November 1, 2023September 14, 2022. but may be extended for up to two times for one year for each extension at the Board’s discretion. The initial offering price for Shares sold through the ContinuousPrivate Offering was $25.00 per Share. The Company conductsconducted periodic closings and sellssold Shares at the prior NAVnet asset value (“NAV”) per share as determined using the valuation methodology recommended by the Adviser and approved by the pricing committee (the “Pricing Committee”) of the Board (the “Valuation Methodology”), plus applicable fees and commissions. The NAV per share is calculated on a fully diluted basis. NAV may differ from the values of our real estate assets as calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”).

 

NexPoint Securities, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”), an entity under common ownership with the Adviser, servesserved as the sole dealer manager for the ContinuousPrivate Offering and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“Raymond James”) and other unaffiliated broker-dealers serveserved as placement agents (the “Placement Agents”) through selling agreements (“Selling Agreements”) between each Placement Agent and the Company.

 

The Company has adopted a Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2018 LTIP”) whereby the Board, or a committee thereof, may grant awards of restricted stock units of the Company (“RSUs”) or profits interest units in the OP (“PI Units”) to certain employees of the Adviser and the Manager, or others at the discretion of the Board (including the directors and officers of the Company or other service providers of the Company or the OP). Under the terms of the 2018 LTIP, 426,307 Shares were initially reserved, subject to automatic increase on January 1st of each year beginning with January 1, 2019 by a number equal to 10% of the total number of OP Units and vested PI Units outstanding on December 31st of the preceding year, of the number of outstanding OP Units and vested PI Units, provided that the Board may act prior to each such January 1st to determine that there will be no increase for such year or that the increase will be less than the number of shares by which the Share Reserve would otherwise increase (the “Share Reserve”). In addition, the Shares available under the 2018 LTIP may not exceed in the aggregate 10% of the number of OP Units and vested PI Units outstanding at the time of measurement (the “Share Maximum”). Grants may be made annually by the Board, or more or less frequently in the Board’s sole discretion. Vesting of grants made under the 2018 LTIP will occur over a period of time as determined by the Board and may include the achievement of performance metrics, also as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Basis of Accounting and Use of Estimates

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with GAAP and the rules and regulations of the SEC. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the nine months ended September 30, 20212022.

 

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. References to number of properties are unaudited.

 

In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021 have been included. The unaudited information included in these interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 20202021 and 20192020 included in the Form 10.our Annual Report. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021,2022, or any other future period.

 

Principles of Consolidation

 

The Company accounts for subsidiary partnerships, limited liability companies, joint ventures and other similar entities in which it holds an ownership interest in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation. The Company first evaluates whether each entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Under the VIE model, the Company consolidates an entity when it has control to direct the activities of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. If the Company determines the entity is not a VIE, it evaluates whether the entity should be consolidated under the voting model. The Company consolidates an entity when it controls the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest. As of September 30, 20212022, the Company has determined it must consolidate the OP, and its subsidiaries and the OP’s investment in NexPoint Homes Trust, Inc. (“NexPoint Homes”) (see Note 5) under the VIE model as it was determined the Company both controls the direct activities of the OP and its investments, including NexPoint Homes, and has the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the OP.OP, its subsidiaries and its investment in NexPoint Homes. The Company has the control to direct the activities of the OP and its subsidiaries because the OP GP must generally receive approval of the Board to take any actions. The Company has control to direct the activities of NexPoint Homes because the OP owns approximately 96% of the outstanding equity of NexPoint Homes and the parties that beneficially own over 99% of the operating partnership of NexPoint Homes are related parties to the Company as of September 30, 2022. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, including the OP, its subsidiaries and its subsidiaries.NexPoint Homes. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. OP Units and equity interests in consolidated VIEs that are not owned by the Company are presented as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements, and income or loss generated at the OP is allocated between the Company and the noncontrolling interests based upon their relative ownership percentages. In these consolidated financial statements, redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP are exclusive of any interests in NexPoint Homes and its SFR OP (as defined in Note 5). Noncontrolling interests in consolidated VIEs are representative of interests in NexPoint Homes and redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated VIEs are representative of interests in the SFR OP (as defined in Note 5). 

 

Real Estate Investments

 

Upon acquisition, we evaluate our acquired SFR properties for purposes of determining whether a transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination. Since substantially all of the fair value of our acquired properties is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets and the acquisitions do not include a substantive process, our purchases of homes or portfolios of homes qualify as asset acquisitions. Accordingly, upon acquisition of a property, the purchase price and related acquisition costs (“Total Consideration”) are allocated to land, buildings, improvements, fixtures, and intangible lease assets based upon their relative fair values.

 

The allocation of Total Consideration, which is determined using inputs that are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy established by FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) (see Note 68), is based on an independent third-party valuation firm’s estimate of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired.acquired or management's internal analysis based on market knowledge obtained from historical transactions. The valuation methodology utilizes market comparable information, depreciated replacement cost and other estimates in allocating value to the tangible assets. The allocation of the Total Consideration to intangible lease assets represents the value associated with the in-place leases, as one month’s worth of effective gross income (rental revenue, less credit loss allowance, plus other income) as the average downtime of the assets in the portfolio is approximately one month and the assets in the portfolio are leased on a gross rental structure. If any debt is assumed in an acquisition, the difference between the fair value, which is estimated using inputs that are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the face value of debt is recorded as a premium or discount and amortized or accreted as interest expense over the life of the debt assumed.

 

Real estate assets, including land, buildings, improvements, fixtures, and intangible lease assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized at cost. The Company also incurs indirect costs to prepare acquired properties for rental. These costs are capitalized to the cost of the property during the period the property is undergoing activities to prepare it for its intended use. We capitalize interest, real estate taxes, insurance, utilities and other indirect costs as a costcosts of the property only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interestthe costs have been incurred. Upon completion of the renovation of our properties, all costs of operations, including repairs and maintenance, are expensed as incurred, unless the renovation meets the Company’s capitalization criteria. Real estate-related depreciation and amortization are computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives as described in the following table:

As of September 30, 2022, the gross balance and accumulated amortization related to the intangible lease assets was $2.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, the gross balance and accumulated amortization related to the intangible lease assets was $3.6$1.0 million and $3.1 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2020, the gross balance and accumulated amortization related to the intangible lease assets was $0.8 million and $0.3$0.5 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021, the Company recognized approximately $2.1$1.7 million and $0.2$2.1 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to the intangible lease assets. For the nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021, the Company recognized approximately $5.8$4.7 million and $0.9$5.8 million, respectively, of amortization expense related to the intangible lease assets.

 

Real estate assets are reviewed for impairment quarterly or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Significant indicators of impairment may include, but are not limited to, declines in home values, rental rates or occupancy percentages, as well as significant changes in the economy. In such cases, the Company will evaluate the recoverability of the assets by comparing the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of each asset to its carrying amount and provide for impairment if such undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying amount. If impaired, the real estate asset will be written down to its estimated fair value. The process whereby we assess our SFR homes for impairment requires significant judgment and assessment of factors that are, at times, subject to significant uncertainty. NaNNo significant impairments on operating properties were recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021.

 

Cash and restricted cash

 

The Company maintains cash at multiple financial institutions and, at times, these balances exceed federally insurable limits. As a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit. We believe any risks are mitigated through the size of the financial institutions at which our cash balances are held.

 

Restricted cash represents cash deposited in accounts related to security deposits, property taxes, insurance premiums and deductibles and other lender-required escrows. Amounts deposited in the reserve accounts associated with the loans can only be used as provided for in the respective loan agreements, and security deposits held pursuant to lease agreements are required to be segregated.

 

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and restricted cash reported on the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of such amount shown in the consolidated statements of cash flows (in thousands):

Revenue Recognition

 

The Company’s primary operations consist of rental income earned from its residents under lease agreements typically with terms of one year or less. As a result of the adoption of ASC 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019, the Company classifies the SFR property leases as operating leases and elects to not separate the lease component, comprised of rents from SFR properties, from the associated non-lease component, comprised of fees from SFR properties and tenant charge-backs. The combined component is accounted for under the new lease accounting standard while certain resident reimbursements are accounted for as variable payments under the revenue accounting guidance. Rental income is recognized when earned. This policy effectively results in income recognition on a straight-line basis over the related terms of the leases. Resident reimbursements and other income consist of charges billed to residents for utilities, resident-caused damages, pets, and administrative, application and other fees and are recognized when earned. TheHistorically, the Company useshas used a direct write-off method for uncollectable rents; thesewherein uncollectible rents are netted against rental income. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company additionally has established a reserve for any accounts receivable that are not expected to be collectible, which are netted against rental income. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, rental income includes $3.0 million and $2.1 million of variable lease payments, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, rental income includes $7.6 million and $4.5 million of variable lease payments, respectively.

 

Gains or losses on sales of properties are recognized pursuant to the provisions included in ASC 610-20, Other Income. We recognize a full gain or loss on sale, which is presented in loss on sales of real estate on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), when the derecognition criteria under ASC 610-20 have been met.

 

In April 2020, the FASB issued a Staff Q&A on accounting for leases during the COVID-19 pandemic, focused on the application of lease guidance in ASC 842. The Q&A states that some lease contracts may contain explicit or implicit enforceable rights and obligations that require lease concessions if certain circumstances arise that are beyond the control of the parties to the contract. Therefore, entities would need to perform a lease-by-lease analysis to determine whether contractual provisions in an existing lease agreement provide enforceable rights and obligations related to lease concessions. The FASB determined it would be acceptable for entities to not perform a lease-by-lease analysis regarding rent concessions resulting from COVID-19, and to instead make a policy election regarding rent concessions, which would give entities the option to account or not to account for these rent concessions as lease modifications if the total payments required by the modified contract are substantially the same or less than the total payments required by the original contract. Entities making the election to account for these rent concessions as lease modifications would recognize the effects of rent abatements and rent deferrals on a prospective straight-line basis over the remainder of the modified contract. We have made the election to not perform a lease-by-lease analysis to determine whether contractual provisions in an existing lease agreement provide enforceable rights and obligations related to payment plans. By electing the FASB relief, we have also made an accounting policy election to not account for rent deferrals provided to lessees due to the COVID-19 pandemic as lease modifications. Lessees are required to pay the full outstanding balance of the rent deferred over the period of the payment plan.

 

Redeemable Securities

 

Included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets are redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP, redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated VIEs and 6.50% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”). These interests are presented in the “mezzanine” section of the consolidated balance sheets because they do not meet the functional definition of a liability or equity under current accounting literature. The Company accounts for these under the provisions of ASC Topic 480-10-S99-3A, paragraph 15(b).

 

8

In accordance with ASC Topic 480-10-S99, since the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP and redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated VIEs have a redemption feature, they are measured at their redemption value if such value exceeds the carrying value of interests. The redemption value is based on the NAV per unit at the measurement date. The offset to the adjustment to the carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the OP and redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated VIEs is reflected in the Company’s additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheet.sheets. In accordance with ASC Topic 480-10-S99, the Preferred Shares are measured at their carrying value plus the accretion to their future redemption value on the balance sheet. The accretion is reflected in the Company’s dividends on and accretion to redemption value of Series A redeemable preferred stock on the statementconsolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Earnings (Loss) Per Share

 

Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding, which excludes any unvested RSUs and PI Units issued pursuant to the 2018 LTIP. Diluted earnings (loss) per share is computed by adjusting basic earnings (loss) per share for the dilutive effects of the assumed vesting of RSUs and PI Units and the conversion of OP Units and vested PI Units to Shares. During periods of net loss, the assumed vesting of RSUs and PI Units and the conversion of OP Units and vested PI Units to Shares is anti-dilutive and is not included in the calculation of earnings (loss) per share. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) (“ASU 2020-04”). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company 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. The Company is currentlyhas elected practical expedients within FASB ASC 848 related to replacing the source of hedged transactions and continues evaluating the impact the adoption of this ASU will have on the Company’sCompany's consolidated financial statements.

Consolidation of NexPoint Homes

Under ASC 810,Consolidation, the Company has determined that NexPoint Homes represents a variable interest entity. Under the VIE model, the Company concluded that the Company both controls and directs the activities of NexPoint Homes and has the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to its investment in NexPoint Homes. The Company has control to direct the activities of NexPoint Homes as the OP owns approximately 96% of the outstanding equity of NexPoint Homes as of  September 30, 2022 and the parties that beneficially own over 99% of the SFR OP are related parties to the Company. As such, the Company determined it is appropriate to consolidate NexPoint Homes.

Investments in privately held entities that report NAV, such as our privately held equity investments, are presented at fair value using NAV as a practical expedient, with changes in fair value recognized in net income. We use NAV reported by limited partnerships generally without adjustment, unless we are aware of information indicating that the NAV reported by a limited partnership does not accurately reflect the fair value of the investment at our reporting date. We disclose the timing of liquidation of an investee’s assets and the date when redemption restrictions will lapse (or indicate if this timing is unknown) if the investee has communicated this information to us or has announced it publicly. We recognize both realized and unrealized gains and losses in our consolidated statements of operations. Unrealized gains and losses represent changes in NAV as a practical expedient to estimate fair value for investments in privately held entities that report NAV. Realized gains and losses on our investments represent the difference between proceeds received upon disposition of investments and their historical or adjusted cost. At September 30, 2022, the Company had no material unrealized or realized gains or losses related to the investment.

6.8. Fair Value of Derivatives and Financial Instruments

 

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy):

 

 

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access.

 

 

Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

 

 

Level 3 inputs are the unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumption, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on input from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

 

1216

 

The Company’s 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. The Company utilizes independent third parties to perform the allocation of value analysis for each property acquisition and to perform the market valuations on its derivative financial instruments and has established policies, as described above, processes and procedures intended to ensure that the valuation methodologies for investments and derivative financial instruments are fair and consistent as of the measurement date.

 

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

 

The Company manages interest rate risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company has entered into an interest rate cap and interest rate swaps to manage exposures that arise from changes in interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage the Company’s risk of increased cash outflows from the floating rate loans that may result from rising interest rates, in particular the reference rate for the loans, orwhich include one-month LIBOR.LIBOR, daily SOFR and one-month term SOFR. In order to minimize counterparty credit risk, the Company has entered into and expects to enter in the future into hedging arrangements and intends to only transact with major financial institutions that have high credit ratings.

 

The Company utilizes an independent third party to perform the market valuations on its derivative financial instruments. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The fair value of the interest rate cap is determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rate of the cap. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the cap are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities.

To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both the Company’s own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of the Company’s derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the Company’s derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has determined that the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments made to its derivative contracts, which determination was based on the fair value of each individual contract, was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, all of the Company’s derivatives held as of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 20202021 were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

The changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments that are designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently reclassified into net income (loss) in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s floating rate debt. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements but either do not meet the strict requirements to apply hedge accounting in accordance with FASB ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or the Company has elected not to designate such derivatives as hedges. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in net income (loss) as interest expense.

 

In order to fix a portion of, and mitigate the risk associated with, the Company’s floating rate indebtedness, the Company, through the OP, has entered into 512 interest rate swap transactions with KeyBank and Mizuho Capital Markets LLC (“Mizuho”) with a combined notional amount of $320.0$970.0 million. The interest rate swaps the Company has entered into effectively replace the floating interest rate (one-month LIBOR)LIBOR or daily SOFR) with respect to that amountthose amounts with a weighted average fixed rate of 1.4309%2.0902%. The Company has designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk.

The 2018 LTIP provides for the Share Reserve and the Share Maximum for issuance of RSUs or PI Units. Grants may be made annually by the Board or more or less frequently in the Board’s sole discretion. Vesting of grants made under the 2018 LTIP will occur ratably over a period of time as determined by the Board and may include the achievement of performance metrics also as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

 

RSU Grants Under the 2018 LTIP

 

On December 10, 2019, a total of 73,700 RSUs were granted to certain employees of the Adviser and officers of the Company.

The RSUs granted to independent Board members fully vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. Any unvested RSU is forfeited, except in limited circumstances, as determined by the compensation committee of the Board, when the recipient is no longer employed by the Adviser. RSUs are valued at fair value (which is the NAV per share in effect) on the date of grant, with compensation expense recorded in accordance with the applicable vesting schedule that approximates a straight-line basis. Beginning on the date of grant, RSUs accrue dividends that are payable in cash on the vesting date. Once vested, the RSUs convert on a one-for-one basis into Shares.

On September 7, 2021, the general partner of the OP executed the OP LPA for the purposes of creating a board of directors of the OP (the “Partnership Board”) and subdividing and reclassifying the outstanding common partnership units of the OP into Class A, Class B and Class C OP Units. The OP LPA generally provides that the newly created Class A OP Units and Class B OP Units each have 50.0% of the voting power of the OP Units, including with respect to the election of directors to and removal of directors from the Partnership Board, and that the Class C OP Units have no voting power. The reclassification of the OP Units did not have a material effect on the economic interests of the holders of OP Units. In connection with the OP LPA, the OP Units held by the Company were reclassified into Class A OP Units, the OP Units held by NREO were reclassified into Class B OP Units and the remaining OP Units were reclassified into Class C OP Units. In addition, the OP LPA provides that holders of PI Units will receive Class C OP Units upon conversion of vested PI Units into OP Units.

 

The Partnership Board of the OP has exclusive authority to select, remove and replace the general partner of the OP and no other authority. The Partnership Board may replace the general partner of the OP at any time. Pursuant to the terms of the OP LPA, the Company appointed Brian Mitts as the sole initial director of the Partnership Board. The number of directors on the Partnership Board is initially one but may be increased by following the affirmative vote or consent of the majority of the voting power of the OP Units (the “Requisite Approval”). The election of directors to and removal of directors from the Partnership Board also requires the Requisite Approval.

 

Upon execution of the OP LPA, the Company reconsidered whether it was still the primary beneficiary of the OP. Upon reconsideration, the Company determined that it is the member of the related party group most closely associated with the OP and has the power to direct the activities that are most significant to the OP as any actions taken by the OP GP are subject to the authority and approval of the Company’s Board. Accordingly, the Company determined that it should continue to consolidate the OP.

 

PI Unit Grants Under the 2018 LTIP

 

In connection with the 2018 LTIP, PI Units have been issued to key personnel, senior management and executives of the Manager. On April 19, 2019, a total of 40,000 PI Units were granted; on November 21, 2019, a total of 80,399 PI Units were granted; on May 11, 2020, a total of 219,826 PI Units were granted; on November 30, 2020, a total of 11,764 PI Units were granted; and on May 31, 2021, a total of 246,169 PI Units were granted; and on August 10, 2022, a total of 27,849 PI Units were granted. The PI Units are a special class of partnership interests in the OP with certain restrictions, which are convertible into Class C OP Units, subject to satisfying vesting and other conditions. PI Unit holders are entitled to receive the same distributions as holders of our OP Units (only if we declare and pay such distributions). The PI Units granted in 2019 generally fully vest over a period of two to four years. The PI Units granted on May 11, 2020 and May 31, 2021 vest 50% ratably over four years and 50% at the successful completion of an initial public offering and the PI Units granted on November 30, 2020 vest 100% ratably over four years or alternatively 100% on the successful completion of an initial public offering. The PIU Units granted on August 10, 2022 generally vest ratably over five years. Once vested and converted into Class C OP Units in accordance with the OP LPA, the PI Units will then be fully recognized as Class C OP Units, which are subject to a one year lock up period before they can be converted to Shares. Any unvested PI Unit granted to an employee of the Manager is forfeited, except in limited circumstances, as determined by the compensation committee of the Board, when the recipient is no longer employed by the Manager. PI Units are valued at fair value on the date of grant, with compensation expense recorded in accordance with the applicable vesting schedule over the periods in which the restrictions lapse, that approximates a straight-line basis. We valued the PI Units at a per-unit value equivalent to the per-share offering price of our OP Units less a discount for lack of marketability and other discounts estimated by a third-party consultant. Beginning on the date of grant, PI Units accrue dividends that are payable in cash quarterly (if we declare and pay distributions to holders of our OP Units).

10.12. Income Taxes

 

The Company has made the election and intends to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and expects to continue to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute annually at least 90% of its “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Code, to its stockholders. As a REIT,stockholders in order for its distributed earnings to not be subject to corporate income tax. Additionally, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, amount by which distributions it pays with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85% of its ordinary income, (2) 95% of its capital gain net income and (3) 100% of its undistributed income from prior years. The Company intends to operate in such a manner so as to qualify as a REIT, but no assurance can be given that the Company will operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT. Taxable income from certain non-REIT activities is managed through a TRS and is subject to applicable federal, state, and local income and margin taxes. The Company had no significant taxes associated with its TRS for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 or 2021.

 

If the Company fails to meet these requirements, it could be subject to U.S. federal income tax on all of the Company’s taxable income at regular corporate rates for that year. The Company would not be able to deduct distributions paid to stockholders in any year in which it fails to qualify as a REIT. Additionally, the Company will also be disqualified from electing to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which qualification was lost unless the Company is entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions. As of September 30, 20212022, the Company believes it is in compliance with all applicable REIT requirements. The Company is still subject to state and local income taxes and to federal income and excise tax on its undistributed income, however those taxes are not material to the financial statements.

 

The Company evaluates the accounting and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing the Company’s tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” (greater than 50 percent probability) of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. The Company’s management is required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which include federal and certain states. The Company has no examinations in progress and none are expected at this time. The tax years subject to examination are 2020,2021, 20192020 and 2018.2019.

 

The Company had no material unrecognized federal or state tax benefit or expense, accrued interest or penalties as of September 30, 20212022. When applicable, the Company recognizes interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions on its consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Commitments

 

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into various construction related purchase commitments with parties that provide these goods and services. In the event the Company were to terminate construction services prior to the completion of projects, the Company could potentially be committed to satisfy outstanding or uncompleted purchase orders with such parties.

Contingencies

 

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to claims, lawsuits, and legal proceedings. While it is not possible to ascertain the ultimate outcome of all such matters, management believes that the aggregate amount of such liabilities, if any, in excess of amounts provided or covered by insurance, will not have a material adverse effect on the consolidated balance sheets or consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) of the Company. The Company is not involved in any material litigation nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against the Company or its properties or subsidiaries.

 

The Company is not aware of any environmental liability with respect to the properties it owns that could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, assets, or results of operations. However, there can be no assurance that such a material environmental liability does not exist. The existence of any such material environmental liability could have an adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.

Overview

VineBrook represents the Company’s primary reportable segment and represents a significant majority of the Company’s consolidated portfolio (the “VineBrook Portfolio”). The NexPoint Homes reportable segment represents a minority of the Company’s consolidated portfolio (the “NexPoint Homes Portfolio”) and operations.

Substantially all of the Company’s business is conducted through the OP, as the Company owns its homes indirectly through the OP. VineBrook Homes OP GP, LLC, is the OP GP. As of September 30, 2021,2022, there were 22,932,25025,346,922 OP Units outstanding, of which 19,320,92521,542,876 Class A OP Units, or 84.3%85.0% of the OP Units outstanding, were owned by the Company. Please see the notes to the financial statements for the breakdown of the non-controlling ownership of our OP.

 

As of December 31, 2020,2021, our VineBrook Portfolio consisted of 9,28216,891 SFR homes primarily located in the midwestern, heartland and southeastern United States.

We are primarily focused on acquiring, renovating, leasing, maintaining and otherwise managing SFR home investments primarily located in large to medium size cities and suburbs located in the midwestern, heartland and southeastern United States. We intend to employ targeted management and a value-add program at a majority of our homes in an attempt to improve rental rates and the net operating income (“NOI”) at our homes, maximize cash flow, provide quarterly cash distributions and achieve long-term capital appreciation for our stockholders. We are externally managed by the Adviser through the Advisory Agreement, for an initial term endingwhich was renewed on November 1, 2021 whichand will automatically renew on the anniversary of the renewal date for one-year terms thereafter.thereafter, unless otherwise terminated.

 

We began operations on November 1, 2018 as a result of the acquisition of various partnerships and limited liability companies owned and operated by the VineBrook Contributors and other third parties, which owned the Initial Portfolio of approximately 4,129 SFR assets located in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana for a total purchase price of approximately $330.2 million, including closing and financing costs of approximately $6.0 million. On November 1, 2018, the Company accepted subscriptions for 1,097,367 Shares for gross proceeds of approximately $27.4 million in connection with the Formation Transaction. The proceeds from the issuance of such Shares were used to acquire OP Units. The OP used the capital contribution from the Company to fund a portion of the purchase price for the Initial Portfolio. The remaining purchase price and closing costs were funded by a capital contribution totaling $70.7 million from NREO, $8.6 million of equity rolled over from VineBrook Contributors, and $241.4 million from the Initial Mortgage.

 

On August 28, 2018, the Company commenced the offering of 40,000,000 Shares through the ContinuousPrivate Offering under regulationRegulation D of the Securities Act (and various state securities law provisions) for a maximum of $1.0 billion of its Shares. The ContinuousPrivate Offering expiresclosed on November 1, 2023 but may be extended for up to two times for one year for each extension at the Board’s discretion.September 14, 2022. The initial offering price for Shares sold through the ContinuousPrivate Offering was $25.00 per share. The Company conductssold Shares in periodic closings and sells Shares at a purchase price generally equal to the NAV per share as determined using the Valuation Methodology and as recommended by the Adviser and approved by the Pricing Committee, plus applicable fees and commissions. The NAV per share is calculated on a fully diluted basis. For sales through Raymond James, the purchaser subscribessubscribed for a gross amount based on NAV per share and separately payspaid the applicable fees upfront from the purchaser’s account with Raymond James. For sales through a broker-dealer other than Raymond James, the purchaser subscribessubscribed for a gross amount based on a public offering price (“POP”), which includes the applicable upfront fees and commissions. NAV may differ from the values of our real estate assets as calculated in accordance with GAAP.

 

On October 15, 2021, a lawsuit (the “Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit”) was filed by a trust set upformed in connection with the Highland bankruptcy (the “Highland Bankruptcy”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit makes claims against a number of entities, including NexPoint Advisors, L.P. (“NexPoint”), the parent of our Adviser, and James Dondero, formerly a director and former officer of the Company. The Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit does not include claims related to our business or our assets or operations. NexPoint and Mr. Dondero have informed us that they believe the Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit has no merit and they intend to vigorously defend against the claims. We do not expect that the Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit will have a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.

 

The Internalization

Most of the VineBrook Portfolio is managed by the Manager pursuant to the terms of the Management Agreements, the Manager and various wholly owned subsidiaries of the OP that own the SPEs. The Manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of the properties, leasing the properties, managing tenant situations, collecting rents, paying operating expenses, managing maintenance issues, accounting for each property using GAAP and other responsibilities customary for the management of SFR properties. In addition, the Manager is generally responsible for the identification of potential SFR properties and the acquisition and disposition of SFR properties approved by the Investment Committee or pursuant to authority delegated to the Manager by the Investment Committee.

The Management Agreements are supplemented by the Side Letter, under the terms of which the Company and the OP have the right and option (but not the obligation) to purchase all of the equity interests of the Manager (the “Internalization”) at a price calculated by a formula specified in the Side Letter (the “Call Right”). The purpose of the Call Right is to provide the Company and the OP with the ability to internally perform the responsibilities and obligations of the Manager under the Management Agreements. On June 28, 2022, the Company sent a notice (the “Call Right Notice”) to the Manager notifying the Manager of its intention to exercise its Call Right and internalize the Manager. As a result of sending the Call Right Notice, the price the Company will pay the Internalization Fee to acquire the Manager of $20.3 million which was fixed based on May 30, 2022 data. The Internalization Fee will be paid in a combination of common stock, OP Units and/or cash.

The Internalization process is being overseen by an independent special committee of the Board, comprised of all the members of the Board except Dana Sprong. The Company expects to close the Internalization in the fourth quarter of 2022, following which the services previously provided by the Manager will be internally managed, although there can be no assurance that the transaction will close on this timeline or at all. The Company also expects to make one-time equity grants under the LTIP to the employees who the Company hires in connection with the Internalization.

Following the Internalization, the Manager’s internalized employees will continue to be responsible for the day-to-day management of the properties, the identification of potential SFR properties and the acquisition and disposition of SFR properties. The Adviser’s duties will not change as a result of the Internalization. Certain SPEs from time to time may have property management agreements with independent third parties that are not the Manager. These are typically the result of maintaining legacy property managers after an acquisition to help transition the properties to the Manager or, in the case of a future sale, to manage the properties until they are sold. This may continue to be the case even after the Internalization is complete.

Tusk and Siete Portfolio Acquisitions

On August 3, 2022, VB Five, LLC (“Buyer”), an indirect subsidiary of the Company, entered into a purchase agreement under which the Buyer agreed to acquire a portfolio of approximately 1,610 SFR homes located in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Ohio and Texas (the “Tusk Portfolio”). Also on August 3, 2022, the Buyer entered into a purchase agreement under which the Buyer agreed to acquire a portfolio of approximately 1,289 SFR homes located in Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas (the “Siete Portfolio”). The Company does not expect to close the acquisitions of the Tusk Portfolio or the Siete Portfolio in 2022.

COVID-19

The COVID-19 pandemic could have material and adverse effects on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows in the near term. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, in March 2021, Congress finalized the American Rescue Plan, a $1.9 trillion relief bill, which includes an additional $1,400 stimulus payment, approximately $25 billion in rental assistance for low and moderate-income households who have lost jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic, and approximately $5 billion to help struggling renters pay their utility bills. The eviction moratoriums and protections provided by the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act have generally expired or are no longer in effect. Since the outbreak, we have provided limited payment plans if certain criteria are met by residents. The duration of a payment plan is determined on a case by case basis, and ultimately the tenant is expected to make rent payments in full over time. As of September 30, 2021, approximately 0.9% of our residents were on a limited payment plan. The Company has not granted any direct rent reductions to residents as of September 30, 2021. The Company continues to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business.

Non-GAAP Measurements

 

Net Operating Income

 

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure of performance. NOI is used by our management to evaluate and compare the performance of our properties to other comparable properties, to determine trends in earnings and to compute the fair value of our properties as NOI is not affected by (1) the cost of funds,interest expense, (2) advisory fees, (3) the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses, (4) gains or losses from the sale of operating real estate assets that are included in net income computed in accordance with GAAP, (5) corporate general and administrative expenses, (6) property general and administrative expenses, (7) casualty gains or losses and (7)(8) other gains and losses that are specific to us.us, including loss on extinguishment of debt.

 

The cost of funds is eliminated from net income (loss) because it is specific to our particular financing capabilities and constraints. The cost of funds is also eliminated because it is dependent on historical interest rates and other costs of capital as well as past decisions made by us regarding the appropriate mix of capital, or in the case of assumed debt, decisions made by others, which may have changed or may change in the future. Advisory fees are eliminated because they do not reflect continuing operating costs of the property owner. Depreciation and amortization expenses as well as gains or losses from the sale of operating real estate assets are eliminated because they may not accurately represent the actual change in value in our homes that result from use of the properties or changes in market conditions. While certain aspects of real property do decline in value over time in a manner that is reasonably captured by depreciation and amortization, the value of the properties as a whole have historically increased or decreased as a result of changes in overall economic conditions instead of from actual use of the property or the passage of time. Gains and losses from the sale of real property vary from property to property and are affected by market conditions at the time of sale, which will usually change from period to period. Corporate general and administrative expenses are eliminated because they do not reflect the ongoing operating activity performed at the properties. Property general and administrative expenses are eliminated because they represent expenses such as legal, professional, centralized leasing, technology support, and accounting functions. Casualty gains or losses are excluded because of the infrequent and unusual nature of the sustained damages, they do not reflect continuing operating costs of the property owner and typically the economic impact, aside from deductible or risk retention, is covered by insurance. Losses on extinguished debt are excluded because they do not reflect continuing operating costs of the property owner. These gains and losses can create distortions when comparing one period to another or when comparing our operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies that have not made similarly timed purchases or sales or sustained damage at similar times. We believe that eliminating these items from net income is useful because the resulting measure captures the actual ongoing revenue generated and actual expenses incurred in operating our properties as well as trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.

 

However, the usefulness of NOI is limited because it excludes corporate general and administrative expenses, property general and administrative expense, interest expense, casualty gains or losses, advisory fees, depreciation and amortization expense, gains or losses from the sale of properties, and other gains and losses as determined under GAAP, and the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which are significant economic costs. NOI may fail to capture significant trends in these components of net income, which further limits its usefulness.

 

NOI is a measure of the operating performance of our properties but does not measure our performance as a whole. NOI is therefore not a substitute for net income (loss) as computed in accordance with GAAP. This measure should be analyzed in conjunction with net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP and discussions elsewhere regarding the components of net income (loss) that are eliminated in the calculation of NOI. Other companies may use different methods for calculating NOI or similarly entitled measures and, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies that do not define the measure exactly as we do.

Net Operating Income for Our Same Home and Non-Same Home Properties for the Three Months Ended September 30, 20212022 and 20202021

 

There are 4,1615,442 homes in our 20212022 same home pool (our “Same Home” properties). To be included as a “Same Home,” homes must be in the VineBrook reportable segment and must have been stabilized for at least 90 days in advance of the first day of the previous fiscal year and be held through the current reporting period-end. Same Home properties for the period ended September 30, 20212022 and September 30, 20202021 were stabilized by October 1, 20192020 and held through September 30, 2021.2022. Same Home properties do not include homes held for sale. Homes that are stabilized are included as Same Home properties, whether occupied or vacant. See Item 11. “Business—Our Portfolio” in ourAnnual Report on Form 1010-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2022 for a discussion of the definition of stabilized. We view Same Home NOI as an important measure of the operating performance of our homes because it allows us to compare operating results of homes owned for the entirety of the current and comparable periods and therefore eliminate variations caused by acquisitions or dispositions during the periods.

FFO, Core FFO and AFFO

 

We believe that net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. We also believe that funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investments Trusts (“NAREIT”), core funds from operations (“Core FFO”) and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT.

 

Since the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation except on land, such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that use historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income (loss), as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions, plus real estate depreciation and amortization. We compute FFO for the VineBrook reportable segment in accordance with NAREIT’s definition. We excluded the NexPoint Homes reportable segment operations from the FFO calculation due to the timing of the acquisition of the portfolio as it was not deemed meaningful to the calculation. Our presentation differs slightly in that we begin with net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders and add net income (loss) attributable to NCI ofin the OP and then make the adjustments to arrive at FFO.

 

Core FFO for the VineBrook reportable segment makes certain adjustments to FFO for the VineBrook reportable segment, which relate to items that are either not likely to occur on a regular basis or are otherwise not representative of the ongoing operating performance of our Portfolio. Core FFO adjusts FFO to remove items such as gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, casualty gains or losses, changes in fair value on interest rate derivatives included in interest expense, the amortization of deferred financing costs and equity-based compensation expense. We believe Core FFO is useful as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and is useful in comparing our operating performance with other REITs.

 

AFFO for the VineBrook reportable segment makes certain adjustments to Core FFO for the VineBrook reportable segment in order to arrive at a more refined measure of the operating performance of our Portfolio. There is no industry standard definition of AFFO and the method of calculating AFFO is divergent across the industry. AFFO adjusts Core FFO to remove recurring capital expenditures.expenditures, which are costs necessary to help preserve the value and maintain functionality of our homes. We believe AFFO is useful as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and is useful in comparing our operating performance with other REITs.

 

Basic and diluted weighted average shares in our FFO table includes both our Shares and OP Units. NexPoint Homes Shares and SFR OP Units are not part of this count as the metrics in the FFO table only pertain to the VineBrook reportable segment.

 

We believe that the use of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. While FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income (loss) as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO may not be comparable to FFO, Core FFO and AFFO reported by other REITs.

 

The FFO, Core FFO and AFFO results discussed further below are for the VineBrook reportable segment, and reconcile to net loss for the VineBrook reportable segment. See below for a reconciliation of VineBrook net loss to consolidated net loss:

FFO was $11.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $8.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $4.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which was an increase of approximately $3.2$3.1 million. The change in our FFO between the periods primarily relates to an increase in VineBrook rental income of $21.2$22.1 million, partially offset by increases in VineBrook total property operating expenses of $9.3$8.7 million, VineBrook advisory fees of $1.4$2.0 million, VineBrook property general and administrative expenses of $2.4 million, VineBrook interest expense of $5.1$3.5 million and dividendsVineBrook loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.5 million. The changes in diluted Core FFO per share and accretionAFFO per share were primarily related to redemptiona 38.0% increase in the diluted weighted average shares outstanding as of September 30, 2022 compared to September 30, 2021 as a result of significant equity raise activity. The entirety of the proceeds from these equity issuances have not been deployed immediately into the acquisition of cash flow yielding homes as a portion of the homes purchased during the period are currently in rehabilitation. The increase in the weighted average shares outstanding in the current period without a significant and immediate corresponding increase in Core FFO and AFFO resulted in the period over period decline. Also, the weighted average interest rate of debt increased from 2.4715% as of September 30, 2021 to 4.8865% as of September 30, 2022 for the VineBrook reportable segment, which has contributed to the decline in our Core FFO and AFFO per share results. On a longer time horizon, these irregularities are expected to diminish and we expect our results to normalize and comparatively improve on a per share basis as a larger amount of the acquired homes become stabilized, resulting in increases in diluted Core FFO per share and AFFO per share. Additionally, the Company has entered into eight additional interest rate derivative agreements in 2022 with a combined notional amount of $950.0 million in order to partially offset the impact of increasing interest rates.

Core FFO was $9.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $10.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was a decrease of approximately $0.7 million. The change in our Core FFO between the periods primarily relates to an increase in VineBrook interest expense and the change in fair value of Redeemable Series A preferred stockinterest rate derivatives included in VineBrook interest expense, which is subtracted to arrive at Core FFO given it is a non-cash item.

AFFO was $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $8.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was a decrease of approximately $2.2 million. The decreaseschange in our AFFO between the periods primarily relates to a decrease in Core FFO and an increase in VineBrook recurring capital expenditures of $1.5 million.

FFO was $34.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $22.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of approximately $12.4 million. The change in our FFO between the periods primarily relates to an increase in VineBrook rental income of $62.0 million, partially offset by increases in VineBrook total property operating expenses of $25.7 million, VineBrook advisory fees of $5.6 million, VineBrook corporate general and administrative expenses of $1.9 million, VineBrook property general and administrative expenses of $6.2 million and VineBrook interest expense of $10.4 million. The changes in diluted FFO per share, Core FFO per share and AFFO per share were primarily related to significantly higher equity raise activity duringan 64.6% increase in the period compared to other periods as we issued 5,574,829 Shares during the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to 2,499,331 Shares issued during the three months ended June 30, 2021, which significantly increased thediluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three months endedas of September 30, 2021. Additionally, the2022 compared to September 30, 2021 as a result of significant equity raise activity. The entirety of the proceeds from these equity issuances werehave not been deployed immediately deployed into acquisitionsthe acquisition of cash flow yielding homes within the same period as a portion of the homes purchased during the period went into rehabilitation instead. Therefore, there was aare currently in rehabilitation. This significant increase in the weighted average shares outstanding duringin the current period without a significant and immediate corresponding increase in FFO.FFO resulted in the period over period decline. Also, the weighted average interest rate of debt increased from 2.4715% as of September 30, 2021 to 4.8865% as of September 30, 2022 for the VineBrook reportable segment, which has contributed to the decline in our FFO per share results. On a longer time horizon, these irregularities become less accentuatedare expected to diminish and we expect our results to normalize and comparatively improve on a per share basis as a larger amount of the acquired homes become stabilized. See the comparison of ourstabilized, resulting in increases in diluted FFO per share, Core FFO per share and AFFO per shareshare. Additionally, the Company has entered into eight additional interest rate derivative agreements in 2022 with a combined notional amount of $950.0 million in order to partially offset the impact of increasing interest rates.

Core FFO was $38.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $28.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020 below.

Core FFO was $10.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, which was an increase of approximately $4.4$10.2 million. The change in our Core FFO between the periods primarily relates to an increase in FFO and increasespartially offset by the change in amortization of deferred financing costs of $0.9 million and equity-based compensationfair value in interest rate derivatives included in interest expense, of $0.5 million. which is subtracted to arrive at Core FFO given it is a non-cash item.

 

AFFO was $8.6$30.1 million for the threenine months ended September 30, 20212022 compared to $5.0$24.3 million for the threenine months ended September 30, 2020,2021, which was an increase of approximately $3.6$5.8 million.

Net Asset Value

 

The sale price of the Shares sold in the ContinuousPrivate Offering as well as the sale price of OP Units iswas equal to the most recent NAV per share in effect at the time a subscription agreement or funds arewere received, plus applicable fees and commissions. The purchase price at which Shares may be repurchased in accordance with the terms of the Share Repurchase Plan (defined below) is generally based on the most recent NAV per share in effect at the time of repurchase, and Shares or OP Units issued under the applicable DRIP generally reflect a 3% discount to the then-current NAV per share.

 

Effective for valuations beginning on July 31, 2021, the Company implemented an amended and restated Valuation Methodology as approved by our Board. Under the Valuation Methodology, Green Street Advisers, LLCAdvisors (“Green Street”) calculates a preliminary NAV by valuing the portfolio in accordance with the Valuation Methodology. Green Street then recommends the preliminary NAV to the Adviser. Based on this recommendation, the Adviser then calculates transaction costs and makes any other adjustments, including costs of internalization, determined necessary to recommendfinalize NAV. The finalized NAV tois then approved by the Pricing Committeepricing committee of the Board. Based off this recommendation, the Pricing Committee then determines NAV. For a more complete description of the amended Valuation Methodology, see “Item I. Business—Net Asset Value—Amended Valuation Methodology” in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form 10, as amended, initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 30, 2021.

 

On and before March 31, 2020, NAV was determined as of the end of each quarter. Beginning April 30, 2020, NAV was determined as of the end of each month. Effective for NAV determined on and after December 31, 2021, NAV has been determined as of the end of each month.quarter. NAV per share is calculated on a fully diluted basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for debt maturities, operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our homes, including:

 

 

recurring maintenance necessary to maintain our homes;

 

 

interest expense and scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness;

 

 

distributions necessary to qualify for taxation as a REIT;

 

 

advisory fees payable to our Adviser;

 

 

general and administrative expenses;

 

 

capital expenditures related to upcoming acquisitions and rehabilitation of owned homes;

offering expenses related to raising equity from our Continuous Offering;equity; and

 

 

property management fees payable to the Manager.

 

We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations, and existing cash balances.balances and debt financing. Additionally, as of September 30, 2021,2022, we had significant access to credit through our credit facilities. The JPMWarehouse Facility has an additional $260.0$5.0 million of capacity. Furthermore, subsequent to September 30, 2021, we recast the Warehouse Facility (see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements) which now has $215.0 million of available capacity.

 

Our long-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the costs of acquiring additional homes, renovations and other capital expenditures to improve our homes and scheduled debt payments and distributions. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements through various sources of capital, which willmay include equitypublic or private issuances through the Continuous Offering, issuance of common equity, preferred equity or debt, draws on our revolving credit facilities, existing working capital, net cash provided by operations, long-term mortgage indebtedness and may include other secured and unsecured borrowings. However, there are a number of factors that may have a material adverse effect on our ability to access these capital sources, including the state of overall equity and credit markets, our degree of leverage, our unencumbered asset base and borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders (including as a result of any failure to comply with financial covenants in our existing and future indebtedness), general market conditions for REITs, our operating performance and liquidity, market perceptions about us and restrictions on sales of properties under the Code. Additionally, the Company continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 and its impact on future rent collections, valuation of real estate investments, impact on cash flow and ability to refinance or repay debt. The success of our business strategy will depend, in part, on our ability to access these various capital sources.

 

As disclosed in Note 1316 to our consolidated financial statements, so far in the fourth quarter of 20212022 we have acquired 360432 homes for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $36.1$52.9 million. In addition, on October 1, 2021,we expect to complete the Company, throughInternalization of the OP, agreed to acquireManager in the Prager Portfoliofourth quarter of approximately 3,000 homes for approximately $361.7 million, for2022, which we expect to use cash on hand, together with debt financing and assumption of certain of the sellers’ debt, to fund the purchase price. For the remainder of 2021, excluding the purchases disclosed previously, we expect to purchase approximately 500 – 800 total homes for consideration of approximately $45 million – $85 million. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete these acquisitions during the remainderpaid in a mix of the year on terms that are acceptable to us, or at all.cash and equity.

Our homes will require periodic capital expenditures and renovation to remain competitive. Also, acquisitions of new homes will require significant capital outlays. Long-term, we may not be able to fund such capital improvements solely from net cash provided by operations because we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deductions for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, and we are subject to tax on any retained income and gains. As a result, our ability to fund capital expenditures and acquisitions through retained earnings long-term is limited. Consequently, we expect to rely heavily upon the availability of debt or equity capital for these purposes. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital on favorable terms, or at all, our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

 

We believe that our available cash, expected operating cash flows, and potential debt or equity financings will provide sufficient funds for our operations, acquisitions, anticipated scheduled debt service payments and dividend requirements for the twelve-month period following September 30, 2021.2022, except as would not be expected to have a material adverse effect. We believe that the various sources of long-term capital, which may include public or private issuances of common equity, preferred equity or debt, draws on our revolving credit facilities, existing working capital, net cash provided by operations, long-term mortgage indebtedness and other secured and unsecured borrowings will provide sufficient funds for our operations, acquisitions, anticipated scheduled debt service payments and dividend requirements in the long-term, except as would not be expected to have a material adverse effect.

As of September 30, 2021,2022, the Company was in compliance with the debt covenants in each of its debt agreements.

 

We intend to invest in additional homes as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of equity and debt financing are available. We expect that future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly acquired properties, will depend on and will be financed by, in whole or in part, our existing cash, future borrowings and the proceeds from additional issuances of Shares, Preferred Shares or other securities or property dispositions.

 

Although we expect to be subject to restrictions on our ability to incur indebtedness, we expect that we will be able to refinance existing indebtedness or incur additional indebtedness for acquisitions or other purposes, if needed. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness, incur additional indebtedness or access additional sources of capital, such as by issuing Shares, Preferred Shares or other debt or equity securities, on terms that are acceptable to us or at all.

 

Furthermore, following the completion of our renovations and depending on the interest rate environment at the applicable time, we may seek to refinance our floating rate debt into longer-term fixed rate debt at lower leverage levels.

 

For full descriptions of the debt arrangements not included in this Form 10-Q, please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Debt, Derivatives and Hedging Activity” in our Annual Report.

Interest Rate SwapDerivative Agreements

 

We have entered into and expect to continue to enter into interest rate swap and cap agreements with various third parties to fix or cap the floating interest rates on a majority of our floating rate mortgage debt outstanding. The interest rate swap agreements generally have a term of fiveapproximately three to six years and effectively establish a fixed interest rate on debt on the underlying notional amounts. In order to fix a portion of, and mitigate the risk associated with, our floating rate indebtedness (without incurring substantial prepayment penalties or defeasance costs typically associated with fixed rate indebtedness when repaid early or refinanced), we, through the OP, have entered into 512 interest rate swap transactions with KeyBank and Mizuho with a combined notional amount of $320.0$970.0 million. As of September 30, 2021,2022, the interest rate swaps we have entered into effectively replace the floating interest rate (one-month LIBOR)LIBOR or daily SOFR) with respect to $320.0$970.0 million of our floating rate mortgage debt outstanding with a weighted average fixed rate of 1.43%2.0902%. As of September 30, 2021,2022, interest rate swap agreements effectively covered $320.0$970.0 million, or 52%55.2%, of our $616.3 million$1.8 billion of floating rate debt outstanding.outstanding for the VineBrook reportable segment. During the term of these interest rate swap agreements, we are required to make monthly fixed rate payments of 1.43%2.0902%, on a weighted average basis, on the notional amounts, while KeyBank isand Mizuho are obligated to make monthly floating rate payments based on one-month LIBOR or daily SOFR to us referencing the same notional amounts. For purposes of hedge accounting under ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, we have designated these interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. See Notes 57 and 68 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

 

On April 13, 2022, we paid a premium of approximately $12.7 million and entered into an interest rate cap transaction with Goldman Sachs Bank USA with a notional amount of $300.0 million. The interest rate cap agreement has a term of three years, covering the outstanding principal amount of the Initial Mortgage which was required by the lender. Under the interest rate cap agreements, we pay a fixed fee in exchange for the counterparty to pay any interest above a maximum rate. As of September 30, 2021, interest rate cap agreements covered $241.4 million of our $616.3 million of floating rate debt outstanding. The interest rate cap agreement effectively caps one-month LIBORterm SOFR on $241.4$300.0 million of our floating rate mortgage debt at 6.60%1.50%. The interest rate cap expires on November 1, 2025.

Reference Rate Reform

 

On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority of the U.K. (the “FCA”) announced that one-month LIBOR will either cease to be provided by any administrator or no longer be representative immediately after June 30, 2023. This announcement has several implications, including setting the spread that may be used to convert the index rates in our debt and hedging contracts from LIBOR to an alternative rate, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Additionally, banking regulators are encouraging banks to discontinue new LIBOR debt issuances by December 31, 2021.Rate. 

 

The Company anticipates that one-month LIBOR will continue to be available at least until June 30, 2023. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining one-month LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported one-month LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if one-month LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.

 

The Company has contracts that are indexed to one-month LIBOR and it is monitoring and evaluating the related risks, which include interest on loans and amounts received/paid on derivative instruments. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to an alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. Transitions and alternative rates are likely to vary by contract. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to one-month LIBOR, as well as interest rates on our current or future indebtedness, may also be impacted if one-month LIBOR is unrepresentative or discontinued. For some instruments the method of transitioning to an alternative reference rate may be challenging, especially if we cannot agree with the respective counterparty about how to make the transition or upon which alternative rate is appropriate. As of September 30, 2021, the Company has not received any LIBOR transition notices under its loan agreements.

 

While we expect one-month LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least June 30, 2023, it is possible that one-month LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if a sufficient number of banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

 

Alternative rates and other market changes related to the replacement of one-month LIBOR, including the introduction of financial products and changes in market practices, may lead to risk modeling and valuation challenges, such as adjusting interest rate accrual calculations and building a term structure for an alternative rate.

 

The introduction of an alternative rate also may create additional basis risk and increased volatility as alternative rates are phased in and utilized in parallel with one-month LIBOR.

 

Adjustments to systems and mathematical models to properly process and account for alternative rates will be required, which may strain the model risk management and information technology functions and result in substantial incremental costs for the Company.

REIT Tax Election and Income Taxes

 

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and expect to continue to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our “REIT taxable income,” as defined by the Code, to our stockholders. Taxable income from certain non-REIT activities would beis managed through a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”)TRS and would beis subject to applicable U.S. federal, state, and local income and margin taxes. We did not have ahad no significant taxes associated with our TRS as offor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, September 30, 2020, December 31, 20202022 and December 31, 2019.2021. We believe we qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code, and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT. NexPoint Homes has elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code and expects to continue to qualify as a REIT.

 

We anticipate that we will continue to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we intend to continue to be organized and to operate in a manner that will permit us to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85% of our ordinary income, (2) 95% of our capital gain net income and (3) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years.

 

If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates, and dividends paid to our stockholders would not be deductible by us in computing taxable income. Any resulting corporate liability could be substantial and could materially and adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. Unless we were entitled to relief under certain Code provisions, we also would be disqualified from re-electing to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we failed to qualify to be taxed as a REIT.

 

We evaluate the accounting and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are “more-likely-than-not” (greater than 50 percent probability) of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Our management is required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which include federal and certain states. We have no examinations in progress and none are expected at this time.

 

We recognize our tax positions and evaluate them using a two-step process. First, we determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Second, we will determine the amount of benefit to recognize and record the amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement.

 

We had no material unrecognized tax benefit or expense, accrued interest or penalties as of September 30, 2021.2022. We and our subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of various state and local jurisdictions. The 2021, 2020 2019 and 20182019 tax years remain open to examination by tax jurisdictions to which our subsidiaries and we are subject. When applicable, we recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

 

Dividends

 

We intend to make regular quarterly dividend payments to holders of our Shares. U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. As a REIT, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85% of our ordinary income, (2) 95% of our capital gain net income and (3) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. We intend to make regular quarterly dividend payments of all or substantially all of our taxable income to holders of our Shares out of assets legally available for this purpose, if and to the extent authorized by our Board. Before we make any dividend payments, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, we must first meet both our operating requirements and debt service on our debt payable. If our cash available for distribution is less than our taxable income, we could be required to sell assets, borrow funds or raise additional capital to make cash dividends or we may make a portion of the required dividend in the form of a taxable distribution of stock or debt securities.

 

We will make dividend payments based on our estimate of taxable earnings per share of common stock, but not earnings calculated pursuant to GAAP. Our dividends and taxable income and GAAP earnings will typically differ due to items such as depreciation and amortization, fair value adjustments, differences in premium amortization and discount accretion, and non-deductible general and administrative expenses. Our dividends per share may be substantially different than our taxable earnings and GAAP earnings per share.

Inflation

 

The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past several years due to a relatively low inflation rate.increases in rents nationwide. The majority of our lease terms are for a period of one year or less and reset to market if renewed. The majority of our leases also contain protection provisions applicable to reimbursement billings for utilities. Should inflation return, dueDue to the short-term nature of our leases, we do not believe our results will be materially affected.

 

Inflation may also affect the overall cost of debt, as the implied cost of capital increases. Currently, interest rates are less than historical averages. However, the U.S.The Federal Reserve, in response to or in anticipation of continued inflation concerns, could continue to raise interest rates. We intend to mitigate these risks through long-term fixed interest rate loans and interest rate hedges,derivatives, which to date have included interest rate capscap and interest rate swap agreements.

 

Seasonality

 

We believe that our business and related operating results will be impacted by seasonal factors throughout the year. We experience higher levels of tenant move-outs and move-ins during the late spring and summer months, which impacts both our rental revenues and related turnover costs. Furthermore, our property operating costs are seasonally impacted in certain markets for expenses such as repairs to heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, turn costs and landscaping expenses during the summer season. Additionally, our SFR properties are at greater risk in certain markets for adverse weather conditions such as extreme cold weather in winter months and hurricanes in late summer months.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

As of September 30, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

 

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

 

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these judgments, assumptions and estimates for changes that would affect the reported amounts. These estimates are based on management’s historical industry experience and on various other judgments and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these judgments, assumptions and estimates. Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that we consider critical to understanding our financial condition or results of operations where there is uncertainty or where significant judgment is required. A discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements and our significant accounting policies, including further discussion of the accounting policies described below, can be found in Note 2 “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

Real Estate Investments

 

Upon acquisition, we evaluate our acquired SFR properties for purposes of determining whether a transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination. Since substantially all of the fair value of our acquired properties is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets and the acquisitions do not include a substantive process, our purchases of homes or portfolios of homes qualify as asset acquisitions. Accordingly, upon acquisition of a property, the purchase price and related acquisition costs (the “Total Consideration”) are allocated to land, buildings, improvements, fixtures, and intangible lease assets based upon their relative fair values.

 

The allocation of Total Consideration, which is determined using inputs that are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy established by FASB ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement (ASC 820) (see Note 68 to our consolidated financial statements), is based on an independent third-party valuation firm’s estimate of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired.acquired, or management's internal analysis based on market knowledge obtained from historical transactions. The valuation methodology utilizes market comparable information, depreciated replacement cost and other estimates in allocating value to the tangible assets. The allocation of the Total Consideration to intangible lease assets represents the value associated with the in-place leases, as one month’s worth of effective gross income (rental revenue, less credit loss allowance, plus other income) as the average downtime of the assets in the portfolio is approximately one month and the assets in the portfolio are leased on a gross rental structure. If any debt is assumed in an acquisition, the difference between the fair value, which is estimated using inputs that are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the face value of debt is recorded as a premium or discount and amortized or accreted as interest expense over the life of the debt assumed.

The allocation of Total Consideration to the various components of properties acquired during the year can have an effect on our net loss due to the useful depreciable and amortizable lives applicable to each component and the recognition of the related depreciation and amortization expense. For example, if a greater portion of the Total Consideration is allocated to land, which does not depreciate, our net income would be higher. Typically, we allocate between 10% to 30% of the Total Consideration to land.

 

Real estate assets, including land, buildings, improvements, fixtures, and intangible lease assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized at cost. The Company also incurs costs to prepare acquired properties for rental. These costs are capitalized to the cost of the property during the period the property is undergoing activities to prepare it for its intended use. We capitalize interest costs as a cost of the property only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interest costs have been incurred. Upon completion of the renovation of our properties, all costs of operations, including repairs and maintenance, are expensed as incurred, unless the renovation meets the Company’s capitalization criteria.

 

Impairment

 

Real estate assets are reviewed for impairment quarterly or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Significant indicators of impairment may include, but are not limited to, declines in home values, rental rates or occupancy percentages, as well as significant changes in the economy. In such cases, the Company will evaluate the recoverability of the assets by comparing the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of each asset to its carrying amount and provide for impairment if such undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying amount. If impaired, the real estate asset will be written down to its estimated fair value. The process whereby we assess our SFR homes for impairment requires significant judgment and assessment of factors that are, at times, subject to significant uncertainty. No significant impairments on operating properties were recorded during the years ended December 31, 20202021 and 20192020 or the three and nine months ended September 30, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

Implications of being an Emerging Growth Company and Smaller Reporting Company

 

We are an “emerging growth company,” as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the “ JOBS“JOBS Act”) and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies” including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

 

The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates for such new or revised standards. We may elect to comply with public company effective dates at any time, and such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.

 

We could remain an “emerging growth company” until the earliest of (1) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of shares of our common stock pursuant to an effective registration statement, (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.07 billion, (3) the date that we become a “large accelerated filer” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), which would occur if the market value of our common stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (4) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.

 

We are also a “smaller reporting company” as defined in the Exchange Act, and may elect to take advantage of certain of the scaled disclosures available to smaller reporting companies. We may be a smaller reporting company even after we are no longer an “emerging growth company.”

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Not required for smaller reporting companies.

 

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) and Rule 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act, our management, including our Interim President and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated, as of September 30, 2021,2022, the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and Rule 15d-15(e). Based on that evaluation, our Interim President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2021,2022, to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the rules and forms of the Exchange Act and is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Interim President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

We believe, however, that a controls system, no matter how well designed and operated, cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of the controls systems are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud or error, if any, within a company have been detected.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There has been no change in internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15-d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 20212022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART IIOTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

 

From time to time, we are party to legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Management is not aware of any legal proceedings of which the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by government agencies.

 

Item 1A. Risk Factors

 

Except as noted below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of the Form 10.our Annual Report.

 

The Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing by HighlandMacroeconomic trends including inflation and rising interest rates may have materially adverse consequences onadversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

 

On October 16, 2019, Highland, a former affiliate of NexPoint, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Highland Bankruptcy”), which was subsequently transferred to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”). On January 9, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved a change of control of Highland, which involved the resignation of James Dondero as the sole director of,Macroeconomic trends, including increases in inflation and the appointment of an independent board to, Highland’s general partner. On September 21, 2020, Highland filed a plan of reorganization and disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court, which was subsequently amended (the “Fifth Amended Plan of Reorganization”). On October 9, 2020, Mr. Dondero resigned as an employee of Highland and as portfolio manager for all Highland-advised funds. As a result of these changes, NexPoint is no longer under common control with Highland. On February 8, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court announced its intent to confirm Highlands’s Fifth Amended Plan of Reorganization. On October 15, 2021, the Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit was filed by a trust set up in connection with the Highland Bankruptcy. The Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit makes claims against a number of entities, including NexPoint and James Dondero. The Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit does not include claims related to our business or our assets or operations. While neither NexPoint nor our Adviser were parties to the bankruptcy filing, the Highland Bankruptcy and lawsuits filed in connection therewith, including the Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit, these proceedings could expose NexPoint, our Adviser, our affiliates, our management and/or us to negative publicity, which mightrising interest rates, may adversely affect our reputation and/or investor confidence in us, and/or future capital raising activities. In addition, the Highland Bankruptcy and the Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit may be both time consuming and disruptive to our operations and cause significant diversion of management attention and resources which may materially and adversely affectimpact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Further,Inflation in the Highland BankruptcyUnited States has recently accelerated and mayis currently expected to continue to expose NexPoint, our Adviser and our affiliates to claims arising out of our former relationship with Highland thatat an elevated level in the near-term. Rising inflation could have an adverse effectimpact on our business, financial condition and results of operations, including through the Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit.

Further, under the Fifth Amended Plan of Reorganization, Highland was expected to continue to provide certain back office and administrative services, including services under a Shared Services Agreement to NexPoint. Under this Agreement, our Adviser would have been able to utilize employees from Highland in connection with various services such as human resources, accounting, tax, valuation, information technology services, office space, employees, compliance and legal. However, under the Fifth Amended Plan of Reorganization and subsequent agreements between Highland and NexPoint, the Shared Services Agreement with NexPoint terminated on February 19, 2021. NexPointoperating expenses and our Adviser expect to be able to provide or outsource the services it was receiving under the Shared Services Agreement with Highland. However, there can befloating rate mortgages and credit facilities, as these costs could increase at a rate higher than our rental and other revenue. There is no assurances that NexPoint and our Adviserguarantee we will be able to providemitigate the same levelimpact of services or uponrising inflation. The Federal Reserve has recently started raising interest rates to combat inflation and restore price stability and it is expected that rates will continue to rise throughout the same terms that they received under the Shares Services Agreement. Further, any delays in obtaining these services could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and resultsremainder of operation.

The Highland Bankruptcy could create potential conflicts of interest.

Our Adviser and/or its general partner, limited partners, officers, affiliates and employees provide investment advice to other parties and manage other accounts and private investment vehicles similar2022. In addition, to the Company. Our Adviser has historically been affiliated through common control with Highland, an SEC-registered investment advisor that filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protectionextent our exposure to increases in interest rates on October 16, 2019. On January 9, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court approved a change of control of Highland, which involved the resignation of James Dondero as the sole director of, and the appointment of an independent board to, Highland’s general partner. On October 9, 2020, Mr. Dondero resigned as an employee of Highland and as portfolio manager for all Highland-advised funds. As a result of these changes, NexPoint and our Adviser are no longer under common control with Highland or a related person of Highland. Mr. Dondero is the beneficial ownerany of our Adviser. Under the Fifth Amended Plandebt is not eliminated through interest rate swaps and interest rate protection agreements, such increases will result in higher debt service costs which will adversely affect our cash flows. We cannot assure you that our access to capital and other sources of Reorganization, Highland terminated the Shared Services Agreement with NexPoint. However, NexPoint and our Adviser have been able to continue to receive these services through a transfer of personnel, equipment and facilities from Highland either to NexPoint or to a third-party service provider. Employees of a third-party service provider that provides services to Highland and NexPoint or our Adviser could face conflicts arising from, for example, Highland and NexPoint or our Adviser acting separately with respect to investment determinations on assets commonly held by clients respectively of Highland and NexPoint or our Adviser, although any such personsfunding will not have sole investment discretion with respectbecome constrained, which could adversely affect the availability and terms of future borrowings, renewals or refinancings. Such future constraints could increase our borrowing costs, which would make it more difficult or expensive to any determinations made by NexPointobtain additional financing or our Adviser for its clients.refinance existing obligations and commitments, which could slow or deter future growth.
