Key Terms

6 terms
core funds from operations financial
"Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO") attributable to common share and unit holders increased"
Core funds from operations is a measure of the recurring cash a real estate company generates from its normal rental and property-management activities, calculated by starting with net income, adding back non-cash items like property depreciation, and removing one-off gains or losses such as property sales or unusual expenses. Investors use it like a household’s steady paycheck estimate—it shows the business’s sustainable cash flow for paying dividends, servicing debt, and funding operations, without noise from one-time events.
adjusted funds from operations financial
"Adjusted Funds from Operations ("Adjusted FFO") attributable to common share and unit holders increased"
Adjusted funds from operations is a financial measure that shows how much cash a real estate company generates from its property operations, excluding certain non-recurring items and accounting adjustments. It helps investors understand the company’s true cash flow ability to pay dividends or fund growth. This figure offers a clearer picture of ongoing financial performance by removing irregular or one-time factors that can distort regular income.
revolving credit facility financial
"includes $390.0 million of outstanding borrowings on its $1.25 billion revolving credit facility"
A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.
unsecured senior notes financial
"Unsecured senior notes, net | 4,737,926 | | 4,735,735"
Unsecured senior notes are loans a company sells to investors that promise regular interest and return of principal but are not backed by specific assets as collateral; they have higher repayment priority than many other debts if the company defaults. They matter to investors because they balance relatively higher claim on repayment with greater risk than secured debt, so their interest rate and recovery prospects reflect that trade-off — like holding a higher-priority IOU without a pledged safety net.
weighted-average interest rate financial
"with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.5% and a weighted-average term"
The weighted-average interest rate is the single, blended interest rate that represents the cost of all a borrower’s loans or bonds, where each loan’s rate is averaged according to how large that loan is. For investors it summarizes a company’s true borrowing cost — like finding the average price per item in a mixed shopping cart — and helps assess profit margins, cash flow pressure, and the impact of refinancing or rising market rates on future earnings.
form 8-k regulatory
"This information has also been furnished to the SEC in a current report on Form 8-K."
A Form 8-K is a report that companies file with the government to share important news quickly, such as changes in leadership, major business deals, or financial updates. It matters because it helps investors stay informed about significant events that could affect the company's value or stock price.

Delivered Solid First Quarter with Accelerating Spring Leasing Activity

LAS VEGAS, May 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- AMH (NYSE: AMH) (the "Company"), a leading large-scale integrated owner, operator and developer of single-family rental homes, today announced its financial and operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

  • Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO") attributable to common share and unit holders increased 4.6% year-over-year to $0.48 per FFO share and unit for the first quarter of 2026 and Adjusted Funds from Operations ("Adjusted FFO") attributable to common share and unit holders increased 8.0% year-over-year to $0.45 per FFO share and unit for the first quarter of 2026.
  • Core Net Operating Income ("Core NOI") from Same-Home properties increased by 3.7% year-over-year for the first quarter of 2026.
  • Achieved Same-Home Average Occupied Days Percentage of 95.1% in the first quarter of 2026, while generating 2.2% blended rate growth driven by lease spreads of 3.2% and -0.8% on renewals and new leases, respectively.
  • Spring leasing season continues to further strengthen with April Same-Home Average Occupied Days Percentage of 95.6%, rate growth on new leases of 1.2% and rate growth on renewals of 3.0%.

"AMH delivered a solid first quarter, supported by steady execution across our operating platform and strong expense management from our field teams. As we entered the spring leasing season, the momentum we saw in March continued through April, resulting in additional occupancy gains and new lease spread turning positive," stated Bryan Smith, AMH's Chief Executive Officer. "Against a backdrop of economic uncertainty, these results demonstrate the resilience of single-family rental demand and the strength of the AMH platform as we move through the rest of the year."

First Quarter 2026 Financial Results

Net income attributable to common shareholders totaled $127.8 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $110.0 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to increases in rents and other single-family property revenues exceeding increases in total expenses and higher net gains on property sales.

Rents and other single-family property revenues increased 2.8% to $472.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $459.3 million for the first quarter of 2025. Revenue growth was primarily driven by higher rental rates.

Core NOI from our total portfolio increased 4.8% to $271.2 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $258.8 million for the first quarter of 2025. This growth was driven by a 2.7% increase in core revenues resulting primarily from higher rental rates and a 1.2% decrease in core property operating expenses.

For the Company's Same-Home portfolio, core revenues increased 2.4% to $365.8 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $357.3 million for the first quarter of 2025, which was driven by a 3.0% increase in Average Monthly Realized Rent per property as well as higher fees, partially offset by an 80 basis point decrease in Average Occupied Days Percentage. Core property operating expenses from Same-Home properties decreased 0.2% to $120.0 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $120.3 million for the first quarter of 2025, which reflects the Company's effective cost controls. As a result, Core NOI from Same-Home properties increased 3.7% to $245.9 million for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $237.0 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders was $200.1 million, or $0.48 per FFO share and unit, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $194.7 million, or $0.46 per FFO share and unit, for the first quarter of 2025. Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders was $187.4 million, or $0.45 per FFO share and unit, for the first quarter of 2026, compared to $176.6 million, or $0.42 per FFO share and unit, for the first quarter of 2025. These improvements were primarily attributable to growth in Core NOI from our total portfolio.

Investments

As of March 31, 2026, the Company's total single-family properties, excluding properties held for sale, consisted of 60,200 homes, compared to 60,337 homes as of December 31, 2025, a decrease of 137 homes during the first quarter of 2026, which included 594 homes identified for sale, partially offset by 457 newly constructed homes delivered to our operating portfolio through our AMH Development Program. During the first quarter of 2026, we also developed an additional 82 newly constructed homes which were delivered to our unconsolidated joint ventures, aggregating to 539 total home deliveries through our AMH Development Program. As of March 31, 2026, the Company had 1,037 properties held for sale and 3,858 properties held in unconsolidated joint ventures.

Capital Activities, Balance Sheet and Liquidity

In January 2026, the Company fully utilized the remaining authorization for the repurchase of Class A common shares under its 2018 share repurchase program and repurchased and retired 3.7 million of its outstanding Class A common shares at a weighted-average price of $31.49 per share and a total price of $115.1 million. In February 2026, the Company's board of trustees authorized a new share repurchase program to repurchase up to $500.0 million of outstanding Class A common shares and up to $250.0 million of outstanding preferred shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. All repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an authorized and unissued status. In April 2026, the Company repurchased and retired 3.2 million of its outstanding Class A common shares at a weighted-average price of $29.37 per share and a total price of $94.0 million, leaving $406.0 million of remaining authorization under the new share repurchase program.

As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $63.3 million and total outstanding debt of $5.2 billion, excluding unamortized discounts and unamortized deferred financing costs, with a weighted-average interest rate of 4.5% and a weighted-average term to maturity of 7.9 years, which includes $390.0 million of outstanding borrowings on its $1.25 billion revolving credit facility. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company generated $50.5 million of Retained Cash Flow and sold 710 properties, generating $199.1 million of net proceeds.

2026 Guidance

Set forth below are the Company's current expectations with respect to full year 2026 Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders and our underlying assumptions. In reliance on the exception provided by applicable SEC rules, the Company does not provide guidance for GAAP net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, or a reconciliation of 2026 Core FFO guidance to GAAP net income because we are unable to reasonably predict the following items which are included in GAAP net income: (i) gain on sale and impairment of single-family properties and other, net for consolidated properties and unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, (ii) acquisition, disposition and other transaction costs and (iii) hurricane-related charges, net. The actual amounts for any and all of these items could significantly impact our 2026 GAAP net income and, as disclosed in our historical financial results, have significantly impacted GAAP net income in prior periods.

Guidance Summary

Full Year 2026 guidance ranges remain unchanged, with AMH's teams delivering solid execution as prime leasing and move out seasons remain ahead.

Defined Terms

Average Monthly Realized Rent

For the related period, Average Monthly Realized Rent is calculated as the lease component of rents and other single-family property revenues (i.e., rents from single-family properties) divided by the product of (a) number of properties and (b) Average Occupied Days Percentage, divided by the number of months. For properties partially owned during the period, this calculation is adjusted to reflect the number of days of ownership.

Average Occupied Days Percentage

The number of days a property is occupied in the period divided by the total number of days the property is owned during the same period after initially being placed in-service. This calculation excludes properties classified as held for sale.

Occupied Property

A property is classified as occupied upon commencement (i.e., start date) of a lease agreement, which can occur contemporaneously with or subsequent to execution (i.e., signature).

Recurring Capital Expenditures

For our Same-Home portfolio, Recurring Capital Expenditures includes replacement costs and other capital expenditures recorded during the period that are necessary to help preserve the value and maintain functionality of our properties. For our total portfolio, we calculate Recurring Capital Expenditures by multiplying (a) current period actual Recurring Capital Expenditures per Same-Home property by (b) our total number of properties, excluding newly acquired non-stabilized properties and properties classified as held for sale.

Same-Home Property

A property is classified as Same-Home if it has been stabilized longer than 90 days prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented under comparison. A property is removed from Same-Home if it has been classified as held for sale or has experienced a casualty loss.

Stabilized Property

A property acquired individually (i.e., not through a bulk purchase) is classified as stabilized once it has been renovated by the Company or newly constructed and then initially leased or available for rent for a period greater than 90 days. Properties acquired through a bulk purchase are first considered non-stabilized, as an entire group, until (1) we have owned them for an adequate period of time to allow for complete on-boarding to our operating platform, and (2) a substantial portion of the properties have experienced tenant turnover at least once under our ownership, providing the opportunity for renovations and improvements to meet our property standards. After such time has passed, properties acquired through a bulk purchase are then evaluated on an individual property basis under our standard stabilization criteria.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release and the First Quarter 2026 Earnings Release and Supplemental Information Package include Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders ("FFO attributable to common share and unit holders"), Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, Retained Cash Flow, Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI, which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these measures are helpful in understanding our financial performance and are widely used in the REIT industry. Because other REITs may not compute these financial measures in the same manner, they may not be comparable among REITs. In addition, these metrics are not substitutes for net income or loss or net cash flows from operating activities, as defined by GAAP, as measures of our operating performance, liquidity or ability to pay dividends. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in this press release and in the First Quarter 2026 Earnings Release and Supplemental Information Package.

Funds from Operations attributable to common share and unit holders and Retained Cash Flow

FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate in accordance with the definition approved by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales or impairment of real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustments for unconsolidated real estate joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis.

Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental measure of our performance. We compute this metric by adjusting FFO attributable to common share and unit holders for (1) acquisition, disposition, other transaction costs and other incurred with business combinations and the acquisition or disposition of properties as well as nonrecurring items unrelated to ongoing operations and adjustments for investments in proptech venture capital funds related to the pro rata equity pickup of realized and unrealized gains and losses from their portfolio investments, (2) noncash share-based compensation expense, (3) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to our single-family property portfolio, (4) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt and (5) the allocation of income to our perpetual preferred shares in connection with their redemption.

Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental measure of our performance. We compute this metric by adjusting Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders for (1) Recurring Capital Expenditures that are necessary to help preserve the value and maintain functionality of our properties and (2) capitalized leasing costs incurred during the period. As a portion of our homes are recently developed, acquired and/or renovated, we estimate Recurring Capital Expenditures for our entire portfolio by multiplying (a) current period actual Recurring Capital Expenditures per Same-Home Property by (b) our total number of properties, excluding newly acquired non-stabilized properties and properties classified as held for sale.

We present FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, as well as on a per FFO share and unit basis, because we consider this metric to be an important measure of the performance of real estate companies, as do many investors and analysts in evaluating the Company. We believe that FFO attributable to common share and unit holders provides useful information to investors because this metric excludes depreciation, which is included in computing net income and assumes the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. We believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions and in response to inflation. We also believe that Core FFO and Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, as well as on a per FFO share and unit basis, provide useful information to investors because they allow investors to compare our operating performance to prior reporting periods without the effect of certain items that, by nature, are not comparable from period to period.

FFO shares and units include weighted-average common shares and operating partnership units outstanding, as well as potentially dilutive securities.

Retained Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is helpful as a supplemental measure in assessing the Company's liquidity. This metric is computed by reducing Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders by common distributions.

FFO, Core FFO and Adjusted FFO attributable to common share and unit holders and Retained Cash Flow are not substitutes for net income or net cash provided by operating activities, each as determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our operating performance, liquidity or ability to pay dividends. These metrics also are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. Because other REITs may not compute these measures in the same manner, they may not be comparable among REITs.

Core Net Operating Income

Core NOI, which we also present separately for our Same-Home portfolio, is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that we define as core revenues, which is calculated as rents and other single-family property revenues, excluding expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs, less core property operating expenses, which is calculated as property operating and property management expenses, excluding noncash share-based compensation expense and expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs.

Core NOI also excludes (1) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to our single-family property portfolio, (2) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (3) gains and losses from sales or impairments of single-family properties and other, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) acquisition, disposition and other transaction costs incurred with business combinations and the acquisition or disposition of properties as well as nonrecurring items unrelated to ongoing operations, (6) noncash share-based compensation expense, (7) interest expense, (8) general and administrative expense, and (9) other income and expense, net. We believe Core NOI provides useful information to investors about the operating performance of our single-family properties without the impact of certain operating expenses that are reimbursed through tenant charge-backs.

Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI should be considered only as supplements to net income or loss as a measure of our performance and should not be used as measures of our liquidity, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. Additionally, these metrics should not be used as substitutes for net income or loss or net cash flows from operating activities (as computed in accordance with GAAP).

The following are reconciliations of core revenues, Same-Home core revenues, core property operating expenses, Same-Home core property operating expenses, Core NOI and Same-Home Core NOI to their respective GAAP metrics for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (amounts in thousands):
