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.

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; |
• |
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 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; |
• |

• |
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; |

VINEBROOK HOMES TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
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 real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The Company is focused on acquiring, renovating, leasing, maintaining and otherwise managing single 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, 2022, there were a combined
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
Between November 1, 2018 and September 30, 2022, the Company, through the SPEs (as defined in Note 3) owned by the OP, purchased
The Company is externally managed by NexPoint Real Estate Advisors V, L.P. (the “Adviser”), through an agreement dated November 1, 2018, subsequently amended and restated on May 4, 2020, renewed on November 1, 2021 and amended on October 25, 2022 (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisory Agreement will automatically renew on the anniversary of the renewal date for
-year terms hereafter, unless otherwise terminated. The Adviser provides asset management services to the Company. The OP caused the SPEs to retain VineBrook Homes LLC (the “Manager”), an affiliate of certain VineBrook Contributors, to renovate, lease, maintain, and operate the VineBrook properties under management agreements (as amended, the “Management Agreements”) that generally have an initial -year term with -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
NexPoint Securities, Inc. (the “Dealer Manager”), an entity under common ownership with the Adviser, served as the sole dealer manager for the Private Offering and Raymond James & Associates, Inc. (“Raymond James”) and other unaffiliated broker-dealers served 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,
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, 2022.
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, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 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, 2021 and 2020 included in 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, 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, 2022, the Company has determined it must consolidate the OP, 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, its subsidiaries and its investment in NexPoint Homes. The Company has 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
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 8), is based on an independent third-party valuation firm’s estimate of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities 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 costs 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 the 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:
Land | Not depreciated | |||
Buildings | years | |||
Improvements and other assets | - years | |||
Acquired improvements and fixtures | - years | |||
Intangible lease assets | months |
As of September 30, 2022, the gross balance and accumulated amortization related to the intangible lease assets was $
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.
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. Historically, the Company has used a direct write-off method for uncollectable rents; wherein 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 $
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
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 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 consolidated 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):

Segment Reporting
Under the provision of ASC 280, Segment Reporting, the Company has determined that it has two reportable segments, VineBrook and NexPoint Homes. Both reportable segments involve activities related to acquiring, renovating, developing, leasing and operating SFR homes as rental properties. The Company’s management allocates resources and evaluates operating performance across the
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 has 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's consolidated financial statements.
In connection with its indirect investments in real estate assets acquired, the Company, through its ownership of the OP, indirectly holds a proportional ownership interest in the Portfolio, through the OP’s beneficial ownership of all of the issued and outstanding membership interests in the special purpose limited liability companies (“SPEs”) that directly or indirectly own the Portfolio. All of the properties in the Portfolio are consolidated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The assets of each entity can only be used to settle obligations of that particular entity, and the creditors of each entity have no recourse to the assets of other entities or the Company, except as discussed below. Under the terms of the notes payable, except as discussed below, the lender has a mortgage interest in each real estate asset in the SPE to which the loan is made.

Held for sale properties
The Company periodically classifies real estate assets as held for sale when certain criteria are met, in accordance with GAAP. Once the Company begins marketing an asset or determines that it will pursue marketing an asset, the asset becomes classified as held for sale. At that time, the Company presents the net real estate assets separately in its consolidated balance sheet, and the Company ceases recording depreciation and amortization expense related to that property. Real estate held for sale is reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell. As of September 30, 2022, there are

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

The Company defers costs incurred in obtaining financing and amortizes the costs over the term of the related debt using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Deferred financing costs, net of amortization, are recorded as a reduction from the related debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. Upon repayment of, or in conjunction with, a material change in the terms of the underlying debt agreement, any unamortized costs are charged to loss on extinguishment of debt. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, amortization of deferred financing costs of approximately $

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company wrote-off deferred financing costs of approximately $
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. |
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, which include one-month 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, 2022 and December 31, 2021 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 12 interest rate swap transactions with KeyBank and Mizuho Capital Markets LLC (“Mizuho”) with a combined notional amount of $

Long-Term Incentive Plan
The Company adopted the 2018 LTIP whereby the Board, or a committee thereof, may grant RSUs or 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). 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.

The OP LPA generally provides that the newly created Class A OP Units and Class B OP Units each have
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.

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 in order for its distributed earnings to not be subject to corporate income tax. Additionally, the Company will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, 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, 2022, 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 2021, 2020 and

As of September 30, 2022, the Internalization of the Manager has not closed. The Company expects to close the Internalization of the Manager 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. Certain additional conditions and limitations apply to the Internalizations, including but not limited to caps on the Internalization Fees. The Company expects any equity issued in satisfaction of an Internalization Fee to be valued at the NAV per share in effect on May 31, 2022, the date used to calculate the Internalization Fee under the Purchase Provision.
Termination Fees Payable to the Adviser or Manager

Pursuant to the Side Letter, in the event the Manager does not have sufficient cash flow from operations to meet its budgeted obligations under the Management Agreements, the Manager may from time to time request from the Company a temporary loan (the “Backstop Loan”) to satisfy the shortfall. Backstop Loans are interest free, may be prepaid at any time and may not exceed a principal amount that is in the aggregate equal to the lesser of the Internalization Fee or Termination Fee under the applicable Management Agreement. Unless otherwise repaid, each Backstop Loan is payable upon termination of the applicable Management Agreement.

The NexPoint Homes Manager is responsible for the day-to-day management of the NexPoint Homes portfolio, paying operating expenses, managing maintenance issues, accounting for each property using GAAP, overseeing third-party property managers and other responsibilities customary for the management of SFR properties.

The acquisition fee is paid at closing of homes and the construction fee and asset management fee are paid monthly in arrears. Approximately $
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. As of September 30, 2022, management does not anticipate any material deviations from schedule or budget related to rehabilitation projects currently in process.
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.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition and our historical results of operations. The following should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included herein and with our annual report on Form 10-K (our “Annual Report”), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 23, 2022. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected, forecasted, or expected in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. See “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this report and the information under the heading “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item IA, “Risk Factors” of our Annual Report. Our management believes the assumptions underlying the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes are reasonable. However, the Company’s financial statements and accompanying notes may not be an indication of our financial condition and results of operations in the future.
Overview
The Company is an owner and operator of SFR homes for lease. The Company has two reportable segments, VineBrook and NexPoint Homes. 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.
As of September 30, 2022, our VineBrook Portfolio consisted of 24,153 SFR homes primarily located in the midwestern, heartland and southeastern United States. As of September 30, 2022, the VineBrook Portfolio had occupancy of approximately 81.9% with a weighted average monthly effective rent of $1,142 per occupied home. As of September 30, 2022, the VineBrook Portfolio had a stabilized occupancy of approximately 94.3% with a weighted average monthly stabilized effective rent of $1,160 per occupied home and 51.5% of homes in our VineBrook Portfolio were excluded from being stabilized either because the homes were in rehabilitation or were purchased with tenants in place. 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, 2022, there were 25,346,922 OP Units outstanding, of which 21,542,876 Class A OP Units, or 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, 2021, our VineBrook Portfolio consisted of 16,891 SFR homes primarily located in the midwestern, heartland and southeastern United States. As of December 31, 2021, the VineBrook Portfolio had occupancy of approximately 81.9% with a weighted average monthly effective rent of $1,067 per occupied home. As of December 31, 2021, the VineBrook Portfolio had a stabilized occupancy of approximately 95.2% with a weighted average monthly effective rent of $1,074 per occupied stabilized home and 49.7% of homes in our VineBrook Portfolio were excluded from being stabilized either because the homes were in rehabilitation or were purchased with tenants in place. As of December 31, 2021, there were 22,300,100 OP Units outstanding, of which 18,673,164, or 83.7%, were owned by the Company.
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, which was renewed on November 1, 2021 and will automatically renew on the anniversary of the renewal date for one-year terms 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 Private Offering under Regulation D of the Securities Act (and various state securities law provisions) for a maximum of $1.0 billion of its Shares. The Private Offering closed on September 14, 2022. The initial offering price for Shares sold through the Private Offering was $25.00 per share. The Company sold Shares in periodic closings 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 subscribed for a gross amount based on NAV per share and separately paid the applicable fees upfront from the purchaser’s account with Raymond James. For sales through a broker-dealer other than Raymond James, the purchaser subscribed 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 formed 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, 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.
Our VineBrook Portfolio
Since our formation, we have significantly grown our VineBrook Portfolio, which only includes homes in the VineBrook reportable segment. When the Company began operations on November 1, 2018, the Initial Portfolio consisted of 4,129 homes located in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the VineBrook Portfolio consisted of 24,153 and 15,787 homes, respectively, in 18 and 16 states, respectively. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the VineBrook Portfolio had an occupancy of 81.9% and 82.6%, respectively, and a weighted average monthly effective rent of $1,142 and $1,059, respectively, per occupied home. As of September 30, 2022 and 2021, the occupancy of stabilized homes in our VineBrook Portfolio was 94.3% and 94.8%, respectively, and the weighted average monthly effective rent of occupied stabilized homes was $1,160 and $1,051, respectively.

The NexPoint Homes reportable segment began operations on June 8, 2022 and currently does not contribute significantly to the Company’s consolidated operations. The Company anticipates revenues from the NexPoint Homes reportable segment to increase as more homes become stabilized and the reportable segment’s operations begin to scale. As NexPoint Homes continues to raise additional capital, the Company’s direct ownership interest in NexPoint Homes will decrease which may eventually result in deconsolidation of NexPoint Homes. The Company will continue to evaluate whether the entity is a VIE and if the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIE and should consolidate the entity.
Components of Revenues and Expenses
The following is a description of the components of our revenues and expenses.
Revenues
Rental Income. Our revenues are derived primarily from rental revenue, net of any concessions and uncollectible amounts, collected from residents of our SFR homes under lease agreements which typically have a term of one year. Also included are utility reimbursements, late fees, pet fees, and other rental fees charged to tenants.
Other income. Other income includes ancillary income earned from tenants such as non-refundable fees, application fees, move-out fees, and other miscellaneous fees charged to tenants.
Expenses
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses include property maintenance costs, turn costs (costs incurred in making a home ready for the next resident after the prior resident vacates the home), leasing costs and the associated salary and employee benefit costs, utilities, vehicle leases and HOA fees. Certain property operating costs are capitalized in accordance with our capitalization policy. Certain turn costs are capitalized to buildings and improvements if they improve the condition of the home or return it to its original condition and exceed $1,500 in cost. Upon being occupied, expenditures up to $1,500 for ordinary repairs and maintenance thereafter are expensed as incurred, and we capitalize expenditures that improve the condition of the home in excess of $1,500.
Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes include the property taxes assessed by local and state authorities depending on the location of each home. Insurance includes the cost of property, general liability, and other needed insurance for each property. Certain real estate taxes and insurance costs are capitalized in accordance with our capitalization policy.
Property management fees. Property management fees include fees paid to the Manager for managing each property, presented net of fee rebates related to the Manager Cap (see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements).
Advisory fees. Advisory fees include the fees paid to our Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement (see Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements).
Corporate general and administrative expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses include, but are not limited to, audit fees, legal fees, tax preparation fees, Board fees, equity-based compensation expense and corporate payroll.
Property general and administrative expenses. Property general and administrative expenses include the costs of marketing, professional fees, legal fees, general office supplies, and other administrative related costs incurred in operating the properties.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization costs primarily include depreciation of our homes and amortization of acquired in-place leases, recognized over their respective useful lives.
Interest expense. Interest expense primarily includes the cost of interest expense on debt, payments and receipts related to our interest rate derivatives, the change in fair value of interest rate derivatives not designated as hedges and the amortization of deferred financing costs. Certain interest costs are capitalized in accordance with our capitalization policy.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt includes prepayment penalties and defeasance costs, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and fair market value adjustments of assumed debt related to the early repayment of debt and other costs incurred in a debt extinguishment.
Gain/(loss) on sales of real estate. Gain/(loss) on sales of real estate includes the gain or loss recognized upon sales of homes. Gain/(loss) on sales of real estate is calculated by deducting the carrying value of the real estate and costs incurred to sell the properties from the sales prices of the homes.
Casualty gain/(loss). Casualty gain/(loss) includes the gain or loss incurred on homes, net of insurance proceeds received, that experience an unexpected and unusual event such as a natural disaster or fire.

The change in our net loss between the periods primarily relates to increases in property operating expenses, real estate taxes and insurance costs, advisory fees, property general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and loss on extinguishment of debt, partially offset by an increase in rental income.
Revenues
Rental income. Rental income was $71.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $40.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $30.8 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our acquisition activity and increases in rental rates over the past year.
Other income. Other income was $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $0.9 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our acquisition activity over the past year.
Expenses
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses were $12.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $4.3 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our acquisition activity in 2022. For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, turn costs represented approximately 15% and 13%, respectively, of our property operating expenses.
Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes and insurance were $12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $4.1 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our acquisition activity in 2022 as well as increases in our real estate taxes as a result of increases in property valuations.
Property management fees. Property management fees were $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $2.0 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our acquisition activity and increases in rental rates over the past year.
Advisory fees. Advisory fees were $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $2.0 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our equity raising activity in 2022 and increases in total debt principal outstanding.
Corporate general and administrative expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses were $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $0.7 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to increases in equity-based compensation expense and other corporate expenses as our operations continued to gain scale.
Property general and administrative expenses. Property general and administrative expenses were $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $2.9 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our acquisition activity in 2022.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization costs were $28.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $14.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $13.8 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our acquisition activity in 2022.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $16.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $9.1 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to an increase in interest on debt and amortization of deferred financing costs, as we increased our total debt principal outstanding and witnessed an increase in our weighted average interest rate during 2022, partially offset by the change in fair value of interest rate derivatives included in interest expense. The following table details the various costs included in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

The increase between the periods was due to the extinguishment of the Bridge Facility II and the Hatchway Broadmoor Mortgage which occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2022.
Gain/(loss) on sales of real estate. Loss on sales of real estate was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Casualty gain/(loss), net of insurance proceeds. Casualty gain, net of insurance proceeds, was $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease between the periods was primarily due to a slight decrease in net insurance proceeds received in 2022.

The change in our net loss between the periods primarily relates to increases in property operating expenses, real estate taxes and insurance costs, property management fees, advisory fees, property general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization and interest expense, partially offset by an increase in rental income.
Revenues
Rental income. Rental income was $182.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $110.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $71.9 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our acquisition activity and increases in rental rates over the past year.
Other income. Other income was $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $2.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $3.9 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our acquisition activity over the past year.
Expenses
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses were $33.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $19.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $14.2 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our acquisition activity in 2022. For the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, turn costs represented approximately 14% and 14%, respectively, of our property operating expenses.
Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes and insurance were $32.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $22.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $10.6 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our acquisition activity in 2022 as well as increases in our real estate taxes as a result of increases in property valuations.
Property management fees. Property management fees were $10.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $4.1 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our acquisition activity and increases in rental rates over the past year.
Advisory fees. Advisory fees were $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $5.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $5.6 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our equity raising activity in 2022 and increases in total debt principal outstanding.
Corporate general and administrative expenses. Corporate general and administrative expenses were $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $2.0 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to increases in equity-based compensation expense and other corporate expenses as our operations continued to gain scale.
Property general and administrative expenses. Property general and administrative expenses were $11.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $7.7 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our acquisition activity in 2022.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization costs were $68.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $35.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $33.5 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to our acquisition activity in 2022.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $37.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $20.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $17.1 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to an increase in interest on debt and amortization of deferred financing costs, as we increased our total debt principal outstanding and witnessed an increase in our weighted average interest rate during 2022, partially offset by the change in fair value of interest rate derivatives included in interest expense. The following table details the various costs included in interest expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt was $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to no loss on extinguishment of debt for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of $3.5 million. The increase between the periods was due to the extinguishment of the Bridge Facility, the Bridge Facility II and the Hatchway Broadmoor Mortgage which occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Gain/(loss) on sales of real estate. Loss on sales of real estate was less than $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and loss on sales of real estate was $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was a decrease of approximately $0.4 million. There were more instances of bulk dispositions for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 than there were during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, resulting in gains on sales of real estate included in current period activity, which partially offset total loss on sales of real estate in 2022.
Casualty gain/(loss), net of insurance proceeds. Casualty loss, net of insurance proceeds, was $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and casualty gain, net of insurance proceeds, was less than $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was a decrease of approximately $0.1 million. The decrease between the periods was primarily due to a slight increase in casualty events in 2022.
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) 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 (8) other gains and losses that are specific to 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, 2022 and 2021
There are 5,442 homes in our 2022 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, 2022 and September 30, 2021 were stabilized by October 1, 2020 and held through September 30, 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 1. “Business—Our Portfolio” in our Annual Report on Form 10-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.

Same Home Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022 and 2021
As of September 30, 2022, our Same Home properties were approximately 95.7% occupied with a weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied home of $1,110. As of September 30, 2021, our Same Home properties were approximately 95.4% occupied with a weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied home of $1,032. For our Same Home properties, we recorded the following operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2021:
Revenues
Rental income. Rental income was $17.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $16.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of approximately $0.9 million, or 5.6%. The increase is related to a 7.6% increase in the weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied home and by a 0.3% increase in occupancy.
Other income. Other income remained flat at less than $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.
Expenses
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses were $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of approximately $0.7 million, or 23.7%. The majority of the increase is related to an increase in general turnover costs of approximately $0.2 million, an increase in repairs and maintenance supply costs of approximately $0.2 million, an increase in third party maintenance costs of approximately $0.1 million and an increase in landscaping costs of approximately $0.1 million.
Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes and insurance costs were $2.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was a decrease of approximately $0.2 million, or 6.6%. The majority of the decrease is related to a decrease in property insurance costs of approximately $0.3 million, partially offset by an increase in real estate taxes of approximately $0.1 million.
Property management fees. Property management fees were $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of approximately $0.2 million or 32.2%. The majority of the increase is related to an approximately $0.2 million decrease in the fee rebate allocated to Same Home properties related to the Manager Cap.

Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes and insurance costs were $8.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $8.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was a decrease of approximately $0.5 million, or 5.9%. The majority of the decrease is related to a decrease in property insurance costs of approximately $0.4 million and a decrease in real estate taxes of approximately $0.1 million.
Property management fees. Property management fees were $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of approximately $0.2 million, or 6.3%. The majority of the increase is related to an approximately $0.2 million decrease in the fee rebate allocated to Same Home properties related to the Manager Cap.

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 in 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, 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:

For the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, includes approximately 460,000 shares and 516,000 shares, respectively, related to the assumed vesting of RSUs and PI Units not contingent upon an IPO. |

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, which was an increase of approximately $3.1 million. The change in our FFO between the periods primarily relates to an increase in VineBrook rental income of $22.1 million, partially offset by increases in VineBrook total property operating expenses of $8.7 million, VineBrook advisory fees of $2.0 million, VineBrook property general and administrative expenses of $2.4 million, VineBrook interest expense of $3.5 million and VineBrook loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.5 million. The changes in diluted Core FFO per share and AFFO per share were primarily related to a 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 interest 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 change 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 an 64.6% 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. This significant increase in the weighted average shares outstanding in the current period without a significant and immediate corresponding increase in 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 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 FFO per share, 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 $38.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $28.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of approximately $10.2 million. The change in our Core FFO between the periods primarily relates to an increase in FFO partially offset by the change in fair value in interest rate derivatives included in interest expense, which is subtracted to arrive at Core FFO given it is a non-cash item.
AFFO was $30.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 compared to $24.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, which was an increase of approximately $5.8 million. The change in our AFFO between the periods primarily relates to an increase in Core FFO and an increase in VineBrook recurring capital expenditures of $4.5 million.
The sale price of the Shares sold in the Private Offering as well as the sale price of OP Units was equal to the most recent NAV per share in effect at the time a subscription agreement or funds were 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 Advisors (“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 finalize NAV. The finalized NAV is then approved by the pricing committee of the Board.
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 quarter. NAV per share is calculated on a fully diluted basis.

Fees and Commissions paid to Placement Agents and Dealer Manager
Subject to certain exceptions, investors that purchased Shares through the Private Offering generally paid the Placement Agents in the Private Offering placement fees or commissions, in addition to the NAV sales price. For sales through Placement Agents other than Raymond James, the placement fees or commissions were generally between 1% to 5.5% of gross investor equity, subject to certain breakpoints and various terms of each specific Selling Agreement. A placement fee equal to 3% and an advisory fee equal to 2% of gross proceeds invested, which is also in addition to the NAV sales price, was paid to Raymond James for all Shares sold by Raymond James on behalf of the Company in the Private Offering. With the consent of the applicable Placement Agent, some or all of the applicable fees and commissions may have been waived. Other Selling Agreements may have had specific fees that differ from the Raymond James fees related to selling Shares to their clients. In addition, the Dealer Manager generally received a fee of 0.5% on sales in the Private Offering through Raymond James and 3% on sales through other Placement Agents, a portion of which may be reallowed to those Placement Agents. Placement Agent compensation was subject to a reasonable carve-out for sales of Shares directly by the Company or for sales to employees of our Adviser, Manager and affiliates thereof. For sales through registered investment advisors (“RIAs”), the Dealer Manager received a fee of up to 2% of gross investor equity. With respect to sales through RIAs or Placement Agents other than Raymond James who in each case were first introduced to the Company by Raymond James, Raymond James could receive a participating placement fee equal to 1% of gross investor equity. The Private Offering was terminated on September 14, 2022.
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; and |
• |
property management fees payable to the Manager. |
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations, existing cash balances and debt financing. Additionally, as of September 30, 2022, we had access to credit through our credit facilities. The Warehouse Facility has an additional $5.0 million of 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 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 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 16 to our consolidated financial statements, so far in the fourth quarter of 2022 we have acquired 432 homes for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $52.9 million. In addition, we expect to complete the Internalization of the Manager in the fourth quarter of 2022, which we expect will be paid in a mix of 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, 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.

Cash flows from operating activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash provided by operating activities was $83.7 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $45.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The change in cash flows from operating activities was mainly due to an increase in net operating income during the period.
Cash flows from investing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash used in investing activities was $1.6 billion compared to net cash used in investing activities of $808.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The change in cash flows from investing activities was mainly due to the acquisition of NexPoint Homes through VIE consolidation, net of cash received, during the period, as well as an increase in acquisitions of real estate investments and an increase in additions to real estate investments during the period.
Cash flows from financing activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities was $1.6 billion compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $799.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. The change in cash flows from financing activities was mainly due to an increase in proceeds received from notes payable, an increase in proceeds received from credit facilities and an increase in contributions from redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated VIEs, which was partially offset by a decrease in proceeds received from issuance of Class A common stock during the period.
Debt, Derivatives and Hedging Activity
Debt
As of September 30, 2022, the VineBrook reportable segment had aggregate debt outstanding to third parties of approximately $1.9 billion at a weighted average interest rate of 4.8865% and an adjusted weighted average interest rate of 4.1611%. For purposes of calculating the adjusted weighted average interest rate of our debt outstanding, we have included the weighted average fixed rate of 1.9508%, representing a weighted average fixed rate for one-month LIBOR, daily SOFR and one-month term SOFR, on our combined $1.3 billion notional amount of interest rate swap agreements and interest rate cap agreement, which effectively fixes the interest rate on $1.3 billion of our floating rate debt. See Notes 7 and 8 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.

This is the stated maturity for the Warehouse Facility, but it is subject to a 12-month extension option. |
In addition to the mortgage loan indebtedness for the VineBrook reportable segment presented above and described below, the NexPoint Homes reportable segment had $567.4 million of debt outstanding at September 30, 2022 (excluding amounts owed to the OP by NexPoint Homes, as these are eliminated in consolidation). See Notes 5, 7 and 13 to the unaudited consolidated financial statements.
On September 20, 2019, the OP, as guarantor, and VB One, LLC, as borrower, entered into a credit facility (the “Warehouse Facility”) with KeyBank. The Warehouse Facility is secured by an equity pledge in certain assets of VB One, LLC and an equity pledge in the equity of VB One, LLC. On November 3, 2021, the Company, as guarantor, the OP, as parent borrower, and each of (i) VB OP Holdings, LLC and (ii) VB One, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries, as subsidiary borrowers, entered into an amended and restated credit agreement to recast the Warehouse Facility, which was subsequently amended on December 9, 2021, April 8, 2022 and May 20, 2022. The amended recast Warehouse Facility is a full-term, interest-only facility with an initial 36-month term ending November 3, 2024, has one 12-month extension option, and bears interest at a variable rate equal to the forward-looking term rate based on SOFR for the applicable interest period (one-month term SOFR), or daily SOFR for the applicable interest period, plus a margin of 0.1% plus an applicable rate ranging from 1.6% to 2.45% depending on the Company’s consolidated total leverage ratio. Under the amended recast Warehouse Facility, the OP has the right to increase the total commitments available for borrowing, which may take the form of an increase in revolving commitments or one or more tranches of term loan commitments, up to $1.2 billion. On September 13, 2022, the Company received increased commitments of $200.0 million on the Warehouse Facility, incurring $3.3 million of deferred financing costs, and then drew $200.0 million on the Warehouse Facility. As of September 30, 2022, $1.2 billion was drawn on the Warehouse Facility. The balance of the Warehouse Facility, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, is included in credit facilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
On December 28, 2020, in connection with the acquisition of a 45-home portfolio, the OP provided a non-recourse carveout guaranty related to the approximately $2.4 million CoreVest Note assumed by a subsidiary of the OP as a result of the OP’s acquisition of SMP Homes 5B, LLC. The CoreVest Note is secured by the properties in SMP Homes 5B, LLC and an equity pledge in SMP Homes 5B, LLC and bears interest at a fixed rate equal to 6.12%. The CoreVest Note matures and is due in full on January 9, 2023 and requires monthly principal and interest payments. On July 11, 2022, the OP repaid the full balance of the CoreVest Note, which extinguished the CoreVest Note.
On March 1, 2021, the Company entered into a non-recourse carveout guaranty and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of VB Three, LLC, as borrowers, entered into a $500.0 million credit agreement with JP Morgan (the “JPM Facility”). The JPM Facility is secured by equity pledges in VB Three, LLC and its wholly owned subsidiaries and bears interest at a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 2.75%. The JPM Facility is interest-only and matures and is due in full on March 1, 2023. On March 10, 2022, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the JPM Facility, wherein each advance under the JPM Facility will bear interest at a daily SOFR plus 2.85%. As of September 30, 2022, the outstanding balance of the JPM Facility was $320.0 million and had $180.0 million of available capacity. The balance of the JPM Facility, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, is included in credit facilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The JPM Facility currently matures on March 1, 2023. Management is in the process of extending or refinancing the facility with the existing lender. If the Company is not able to complete an extension or refinancing with the existing lender, management believes it has sufficient access to other potential sources of capital, including through raising equity, securing new debt or selling a portion of the portfolio to repay the debt upon maturity.
On January 13, 2022, in connection with the acquisition of a 98-home portfolio, the OP, as guarantor, assumed an approximately $4.6 million Freddie Mac mortgage loan (the “Hatchway Broadmoor Mortgage”) with Arbor Agency Lending, LLC as a result of the OP’s acquisition of Hatchway Broadmoor, LLC. The Hatchway Broadmoor Mortgage is secured by properties in Hatchway Broadmoor, LLC and an equity pledge in Hatchway Broadmoor, LLC and bears interest at a fixed rate equal to 5.35%. The Hatchway Broadmoor Mortgage matures and is due in full on February 1, 2029 and requires monthly principal and interest payments. On August 19, 2022, the OP repaid the full balance of the Hatchway Broadmoor Mortgage, which extinguished the Hatchway Broadmoor Mortgage.
On February 8, 2022, in connection with the acquisition of the Prager Portfolio, the Company entered into a bridge credit agreement through the OP with KeyBank National Association, and borrowed $150.0 million (the “Bridge Facility”). On April 8, 2022, the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance on the Bridge Facility, which extinguished the Bridge Facility. In connection with the extinguishment of the Bridge Facility, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.0 million, which is presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
On March 18, 2022, in connection with the acquisition of an 88-home portfolio, the OP provided a non-recourse carveout guaranty related to an approximately $4.7 million mortgage loan assumed by a subsidiary of the OP (the “Crestcore II Note”) with CoreVest American Finance Lender LLC as a result of the OP’s acquisition of Crestcore II, LLC. The Crestcore II Note is secured by the properties in Crestcore II, LLC and an equity pledge in Crestcore II, LLC and bears interest at a fixed rate equal to 5.12%. The Crestcore II Note matures and is due in full on July 9, 2029 and requires monthly principal and interest payments. The balance of the Crestcore II Note, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, is included in notes payable on the consolidated balance sheets.
On March 18, 2022, in connection with the acquisition of an 82-home portfolio, the OP provided a non-recourse carveout guaranty related to an approximately $4.2 million mortgage loan assumed by a subsidiary of the OP (the “Crestcore IV Note”) with CoreVest American Finance Lender LLC as a result of the OP’s acquisition of Crestcore IV, LLC. The Crestcore IV Note is secured by the properties in Crestcore IV, LLC and an equity pledge in Crestcore IV, LLC and bears interest at a fixed rate equal to 5.12%. The Crestcore IV Note matures and is due in full on July 9, 2029 and requires monthly principal and interest payments. The balance of the Crestcore IV Note, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, is included in notes payable on the consolidated balance sheets.
On August 25, 2022, in connection with the acquisition of the Global Atlantic Portfolio, the Company entered into a bridge credit agreement through the OP with KeyBank National Association, and borrowed $165.0 million (the “Bridge Facility II”). The Bridge Facility II accrued interest at one-month term SOFR plus a margin of 2.6%. On September 2, 2022, the Company drew an additional $35.0 million on the Bridge Facility II. On September 13, 2022, the Company repaid the outstanding principal balance on the Bridge Facility II, which extinguished the Bridge Facility II. In connection with the extinguishment of the Bridge Facility II, the Company incurred a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $1.8 million, which is presented on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
As of September 30, 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 Derivative 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 approximately 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 12 interest rate swap transactions with KeyBank and Mizuho with a combined notional amount of $970.0 million. As of September 30, 2022, the interest rate swaps we have entered into effectively replace the floating interest rate (one-month LIBOR or daily SOFR) with respect to $970.0 million of our floating rate mortgage debt outstanding with a weighted average fixed rate of 2.0902%. As of September 30, 2022, interest rate swap agreements effectively covered $970.0 million, or 55.2%, of our $1.8 billion of floating rate debt 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 2.0902%, on a weighted average basis, on the notional amounts, while KeyBank and 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 7 and 8 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 effectively caps one-month term SOFR on $300.0 million of our floating rate debt at 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.
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.
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 is managed through a TRS and is subject to applicable U.S. federal, state, and local income and margin taxes. We had no significant taxes associated with our TRS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 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, 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 and 2019 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 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. Due 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. 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 derivatives, which to date have included interest rate cap 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, 2022 and December 31, 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 8 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, 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, 2021 and 2020 or the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 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 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, 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, 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, 2022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
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.
Except as noted below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our Annual Report.
Macroeconomic trends including inflation and rising interest rates may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
Macroeconomic trends, including increases in inflation and rising interest rates, may adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. Inflation in the United States has recently accelerated and is currently expected to continue at an elevated level in the near-term. Rising inflation could have an adverse impact on our operating expenses and our floating rate mortgages and credit facilities, as these costs could increase at a rate higher than our rental and other revenue. There is no guarantee we will be able to mitigate the impact of rising 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 remainder of 2022. In addition, to the extent our exposure to increases in interest rates on any of our debt 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 funding will not become 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 obtain additional financing or refinance existing obligations and commitments, which could slow or deter future growth.

Repurchase of Shares
The Company has adopted a share repurchase plan (the “Share Repurchase Plan”) pursuant to which investors may request on a quarterly basis that the Company repurchase all or a portion of their Shares, subject to certain terms and conditions. Under the Share Repurchase Plan, shares will be repurchased at the most recent NAV per share in effect, which will generally be equal to our prior quarter’s or month’s NAV per share.
