American Homes 4 Rent, L.P.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Note 1. Organization and Operations
American Homes 4 Rent (“AH4R” or “General Partner”) is a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed on October 19, 2012 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, renovating, leasing and operating single-family homes as rental properties. American Homes 4 Rent, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership formed on October 22, 2012, and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership” or the “OP”) is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns, directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of its assets. References to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” mean collectively AH4R, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by AH4R and/or the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2021, the Company held 53,984 single-family properties in 22 states, including 636 properties classified as held for sale.
AH4R is the general partner of, and as of March 31, 2021 owned approximately 86.0 % of the common partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership. The remaining 14.0 % of the common partnership interest was owned by limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, AH4R has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management. The Company’s management operates AH4R and the Operating Partnership as one business, and the management of AH4R consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. AH4R’s primary function is acting as the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The only material asset of AH4R is its partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. As a result, AH4R generally does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. AH4R itself is not directly obligated under any indebtedness, but guarantees some of the debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership owns substantially all of the assets of the Company, including the Company’s ownership interests in its joint ventures, either directly or through its subsidiaries, conducts the operations of the Company’s business and is structured as a limited partnership with no publicly traded equity. One difference between the Company and the Operating Partnership is $ 25.7 million of asset-backed securitization certificates issued by the Operating Partnership and purchased by AH4R. The asset-backed securitization certificates are recorded as an asset-backed securitization certificates receivable by the Company and as an amount due from affiliates by the Operating Partnership. AH4R contributes all net proceeds from its various equity offerings to the Operating Partnership. In return for those contributions, AH4R receives Operating Partnership units (“OP units”) equal to the number of shares it has issued in the equity offering. Based on the terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended, OP units can be exchanged for shares on a one -for-one basis. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by AH4R, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, by the Operating Partnership’s incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of OP units.
Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and present the accounts of both the Company, which include AH4R, the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries, as well as the Operating Partnership, which include the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. The Company consolidates real estate partnerships and other entities that are not variable interest entities (“VIEs”) when it owns, directly or indirectly, a majority interest in the entity or is otherwise able to control the entity. The Company consolidates VIEs in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification No. 810, Consolidation, if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as determined by the Company’s power to direct the VIE’s activities and its obligation to absorb its losses or the right to receive its benefits, which are potentially significant to the VIE. Entities for which the Company owns an interest, but does not consolidate, are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as an investment in an unconsolidated entity and are included in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures within the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Any references in this report to the number of properties is outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
15
Board. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair statement of the condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Effective March 31, 2021, the Company reclassified certain impairment charges related to homes classified as held for sale from other expenses to gain on sale and impairment of single-family properties and other, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The Company also reclassified other revenues and the remaining other expenses to other income and expense, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Certain other amounts in the condensed consolidated financial statements for the prior periods have also been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Note 3. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Restricted cash primarily consists of funds held related to resident security deposits, cash reserves in accordance with certain loan agreements and funds held in the custody of our transfer agent for the payment of distributions. Funds held related to resident security deposits are restricted during the term of the related lease agreement, which is generally one year. Cash reserved in connection with lender requirements is restricted during the term of the related debt instrument.

Note 7. Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
As of March 31, 2021, the Company held 20 % ownership interests in three unconsolidated joint ventures. In evaluating the Company’s 20 % ownership interests in these joint ventures, we concluded that the joint ventures are not VIEs after applying the variable interest model and, therefore, we account for our interests in the joint ventures as investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries after applying the voting interest model using the equity method of accounting. Equity in net income (losses) of unconsolidated joint ventures was included in other income and expense, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The Company entered into a joint venture with (i) the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation (the “Alaska JV”) during the second quarter of 2014 to invest in homes acquired through traditional acquisition channels, (ii) another leading institutional investor (the “Institutional Investor JV”) during the third quarter of 2018 to invest in newly constructed single-family rental homes, and (iii) institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management (the “J.P. Morgan JV”) during the first quarter of 2020 focused on constructing and operating newly built rental homes.
The following table summarizes our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures (in thousands, except percentages and property data):
Joint Venture Description % Ownership at March 31, 2021 Completed Homes at March 31, 2021 Balances at
March 31, 2021 Balances at
December 31, 2020
Alaska JV 20 % 350 $ 26,365 $ 26,020
Institutional Investor JV 20 % 816 30,638 34,112
J.P. Morgan JV 20 % 217 43,074 32,977
1,383 $ 100,077 $ 93,109
18
The Company provides various services to these joint ventures, which are considered to be related parties, including property management and development services and has opportunities to earn promoted interests. Management fee and development fee income from unconsolidated joint ventures was $ 2.1 million and $ 0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and was included in other income and expense, net within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As a result of the Company’s management of these joint ventures, certain related party receivables and payables arise in the ordinary course of business and are included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets or amounts payable to affiliates in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
During the third quarter of 2020, Institutional Investor JV entered into a loan agreement to borrow up to a $ 201.0 million aggregate commitment. During the initial two-year term, the loan bears interest at LIBOR plus a 3.50 % margin and matures on August 11, 2022. The loan agreement provides for three one-year extension options that include additional fees and interest. As of March 31, 2021, the joint venture’s loan had a $ 116.7 million outstanding principal balance. The Company has provided a customary non-recourse guarantee that may become a liability for us upon a voluntary bankruptcy filing by the joint venture or occurrence of other actions such as fraud or a material misrepresentation by us or the joint venture. To date, the guarantee has not been invoked and we believe that the actions that would trigger a guarantee would generally be disadvantageous to the joint venture and us, and therefore are unlikely to occur. However, there can be no assurances that actions that could trigger the guarantee will not occur.
Note 8. Debt
All of the Company’s indebtedness is debt of the Operating Partnership. AH4R is not directly obligated under any indebtedness, but guarantees some of the debt of the Operating Partnership. The following table presents the Company’s debt as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (in thousands):

Note 10. Shareholders’ Equity / Partners’ Capital
When the Company issues common or preferred shares, the Operating Partnership issues an equivalent number of units of partnership interest of a corresponding class to AH4R, with the Operating Partnership receiving the net proceeds from the share issuances.
At-the-Market Common Share Offering Program
During the second quarter of 2020, the Company extended its at-the-market common share offering program under which it can issue Class A common shares from time to time through various sales agents up to an aggregate gross sales offering price of $ 500.0 million (the “At-the-Market Program”). The At-the-Market Program also provides that we may enter into forward contracts for our Class A common shares with forward sellers and forward purchasers. The Company intends to use any net proceeds from the At-the-Market Program (i) to repay indebtedness the Company has incurred or expects to incur under its revolving credit facility, (ii) to develop new single-family properties and communities, (iii) to acquire and renovate single-family properties and for related activities in accordance with the Company’s business strategy and (iv) for working capital and general corporate purposes, including repurchases of the Company’s securities, acquisitions of additional properties, capital expenditures and the expansion, redevelopment
20
and/or improvement of properties in the Company’s portfolio. The At-the-Market Program may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, no shares were issued under the At-the-Market Program. As of March 31, 2021, 86,130 shares have been issued under the At-the-Market Program and $ 497.6 million remained available for future share issuances.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company’s board of trustees authorized the establishment of our share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $ 300.0 million of our outstanding Class A common shares and up to $ 250.0 million of our outstanding preferred shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The program does not have an expiration date, but may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. All repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an authorized and unissued status. The Operating Partnership funds the repurchases and constructively retires an equivalent number of corresponding Class A units. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we did not repurchase and retire any of our shares. As of March 31, 2021, we had a remaining repurchase authorization of up to $ 265.1 million of our outstanding Class A common shares and up to $ 250.0 million of our outstanding preferred shares under the program.

Note 11. Share-Based Compensation
2012 Equity Incentive Plan
The Company’s employees are compensated through the Operating Partnership, including share-based compensation. When the Company issues Class A common shares under the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), the Operating Partnership issues an equivalent number of Class A units to AH4R and non-management members of our board of trustees.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee granted restricted share units (“RSUs”) to employees that vest over a three-year service period. RSUs granted to non-management trustees vest over a one-year service period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Human Capital and Compensation Committee granted performance-based restricted share units (“PSUs”) to certain executives that cliff vest at the end of a three-year service period. The performance conditions of the PSUs are measured over a three-year performance period beginning January 1, 2021 and ending December 31, 2023. A portion of the PSUs are based on (i) the achievement of relative total shareholder return compared to a specified peer group (the “TSR Awards”), and a portion are based on (ii) average annual growth in core funds from operations per share (the “Core FFO Awards”). The number of PSUs that may ultimately vest range from zero to 200 % of the number of PSUs granted based on the level of achievement of these performance conditions. For the TSR Awards, grant date fair value was determined using a multifactor Monte Carlo model and the resulting compensation cost is amortized over the service period regardless of whether the performance condition is achieved. For the Core FFO Awards, fair value is based on the market value on the date of grant and compensation cost is recognized based on the probable achievement of the performance condition at each reporting period.
The following table summarizes stock option activity under the Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

In accordance with the treasury stock method, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, 10,071 weighted-average PSUs related to the TSR Awards were excluded because their effects were anti-dilutive and PSUs related to the Core FFO Awards were excluded because the performance criteria were not met as of the end of the reporting period.
(3) The effect of the potential conversion of OP units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Class A common shares on a one -for-one basis. The income allocable to the OP units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interest in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of the OP units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.

Note 13. Fair Value
The carrying amount of rents and other receivables, restricted cash, escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses generally approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these amounts.
Our notes receivable are financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as their fair values were estimated using unobservable inputs. We estimated the fair values of the notes receivable by modeling the expected contractual cash flows required under the instruments and discounting them back to their present values using estimates of current market rates. As the estimated current market rates were not substantially different from the discount rates originally applied, the carrying amount of notes receivable, net approximates fair value.
Our asset-backed securitizations and revolving credit facility are financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as their fair values were estimated using unobservable inputs. We estimated the fair values of the asset-backed securitizations by modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instruments and discounting them back to their present values using estimates of current market rates. As our revolving credit facility bears interest at a floating rate based on an index plus a spread (see Note 8. Debt), management believes that the carrying value (excluding deferred financing costs) of the revolving credit facility reasonably approximates fair value. Our unsecured senior notes are financial instruments classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as their fair values were estimated using observable inputs based on the market value of the last trade at the end of the period.

Total debt $ 2,892,877 $ 3,062,113 $ 2,817,412 $ 3,040,579
During the first quarter of 2021, in anticipation of a debt issuance and in order to hedge interest rate risk, the Company entered into a treasury lock agreement with a notional amount of $ 400.0 million based on the 10-year treasury note rate at the time. The treasury lock was designated as a cash flow hedging instrument and had a fair value of $ 9.2 million as of March 31, 2021, which was included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheets, with a corresponding unrealized gain reflected in other comprehensive income. The treasury lock will be settled upon the issuance of debt and the amounts recorded in other comprehensive income will be reclassified into earnings as a reduction of interest expense over the term of the debt. The treasury lock is the only financial instrument recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the condensed consolidated financial statements and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy as its fair value is estimated using observable inputs based on the 10-year treasury note rate.

Legal Matters
During the third quarter of 2020, we received a notice from the Georgia Attorney General’s Office seeking certain information relevant to an investigation they are conducting about our customary landlord-tenant matters. We are cooperating with the Georgia Attorney General’s Office on this matter.
We are involved in various other legal and administrative proceedings that are incidental to our business. We believe these matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations upon resolution.
COVID-19 Pandemic
The global economy has continued to be severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We are actively monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which we anticipate will negatively impact our business and results of operations for our second fiscal quarter and likely beyond. The extent to which our operations will be impacted will depend largely on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be accurately predicted, including new information which may emerge concerning the severity of the pandemic, including with respect to new variants or strains, the speed and effectiveness of vaccine distribution, vaccine adoption rates and actions by government authorities to contain the pandemic or treat its impact, among other things.
Note 16. Subsequent Events
Subsequent Acquisitions
From April 1, 2021 through April 30, 2021, the Company added 214 properties to its portfolio for a total cost of approximately $ 64.5 million, which included 87 newly constructed properties delivered through our AMH Development Program and 9 newly constructed homes acquired from third-party developers through our National Builder Program.

Revolving Credit Facility
From April 1, 2021 through April 30, 2021, the Company borrowed an additional $ 20.0 million under its revolving credit facility, resulting in $ 100.0 million of outstanding borrowings under its revolving credit facility as of April 30, 2021.
Amendment of Revolving Credit Facility
On April 15, 2021, the Company closed a $ 1.25 billion revolving credit facility, amending its existing $ 800 million revolving credit facility. The amended revolving credit facility provides for expanded borrowing capacity to continue to support the Company’s growth initiatives, reflects a more favorable pricing grid based on current market conditions, and includes a sustainability component based upon third-party performance measures through which overall pricing can further improve if the Company meets certain targets. The interest rate on the amended revolving credit facility is at either LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.725 % to 1.45 % or a base rate (determined according to the greater of a prime rate, federal funds rate plus 0.5 % or daily LIBOR rate plus 1.0 %) plus a margin ranging from 0.00 % to 0.45 %. In each case the actual margin is determined based on the Company’s credit ratings in effect from time to time. The amended revolving credit facility matures on April 15, 2025, with two six-month extension options at the Company’s election if certain conditions are met.
