Key Terms

core funds from operations financial
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 ebitda financial
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
non-gaap financial measures financial
Non-GAAP financial measures are numbers companies use to show their financial performance that exclude certain expenses or income. They help investors see how the company might perform without one-time costs or other unusual items, giving a different perspective from official reports. However, since they can be adjusted, they don’t always tell the full story and should be looked at alongside standard financial figures.
at-the-market offering program financial
An at-the-market offering program lets a company sell newly issued shares directly into the open market at current trading prices through a broker, rather than issuing a large block of stock all at once. It matters to investors because it provides the company a flexible way to raise cash over time, which can dilute existing shares gradually and affect earnings per share and stock price depending on how much and when shares are sold—think of it as a faucet the company can open or close to add supply to the market.
forward sale agreements financial
A forward sale agreement is a deal where two parties agree today to sell and buy an asset at a set price on a future date. It’s like promising to sell your car to a friend next month at today's price, regardless of how the car's value changes. These agreements help businesses lock in prices and reduce uncertainty about future costs or income.
rule 10b5-1(c) trading plan regulatory
A Rule 10b5-1(c) trading plan is a legally defined, pre-set schedule that lets company insiders automatically buy or sell stock at specified times or under set formulas when they are not in possession of undisclosed, sensitive information. Think of it like an automatic payment plan for trades: because the instructions are written in advance, trades under the plan help protect insiders from allegations of trading on secret information and give investors clearer expectations about when insiders will transact, which can affect liquidity and perceived transparency.

See the Value Add Summary page of our supplemental information for additional information on our projects’ life to date as of December 31, 2025.

Investment Activity

Acquisitions

  • Subsequent to year-end, on January 15, 2026, we acquired a 140-unit community in Columbus, Ohio for approximately $29.5 million. The acquisition increased our exposure in Columbus, Ohio from 2,510 units to 2,650 units.

Dispositions

  • Jamestown at St. Matthews, Louisville, Kentucky: On November 13, 2025, we sold this property for a gross sales price of $50.0 million. We used the sale of this property to complete a reverse 1031 exchange with the property acquired on July 31, 2025. We recognized a gain on sale of approximately $17.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2025.

Joint Ventures

  • The Approach, Indianapolis, Indiana: On October 8, 2025, we entered into a joint venture to develop a 318-unit multifamily project just outside Indianapolis, Indiana. We have committed to invest an aggregate of $20.0 million in this joint venture in exchange for a 66.6% preferred equity interest, and, as of December 31, 2025, we had funded $3.4 million on account of this commitment.
  • Views of Music City II, Nashville, Tennessee: On October 9, 2025, our joint venture partner redeemed our investment in this property, comprised of a return of our initial capital of $5.9 million and a preferred return of $3.3 million. We recognized the preferred return of $3.3 million in Income (loss) from unconsolidated real estate entities in October 2025. Under the terms of our joint venture agreement, we are entitled to the right of first refusal on the sale of this property.
  • Lakeline Station, Austin Texas: Subsequent to year-end, on January 20, 2026, we acquired our joint venture partner's 10% membership interest and assumed full operational control and 100% equity ownership of the Tisdale at Lakeline Station property. The property underlying this joint venture is a 378-unit community in Austin, Texas that was 24% occupied as of February 10, 2026 and will be consolidated into our financial results effective January 20, 2026.

Capital Expenditures

Across our total portfolio for the three months ended December 31, 2025, recurring capital expenditures were $5.8 million, or $169 per unit; Value Add expenditures were $9.3 million; non-recurring expenditures were $5.2 million; and development expenditures were $0.9 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2025, recurring capital expenditures were $30.4 million, or $884 per unit; Value Add expenditures were $41.2 million; non-recurring expenditures were $44.4 million and development expenditures were $10.8 million, respectively.

Capital Markets

In connection with our previously announced public offering of 11.5 million shares of common stock, we entered into forward sale agreements with Citigroup in September 2024 in order to lock in the price of shares of common stock in advance to provide certainty of funding for future strategic acquisitions. Through September 30, 2025, we had physically settled an aggregate of 11.2 million shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $19.01 per share, resulting in aggregate net proceeds to us of approximately $212.9 million, which we used to fund acquisitions. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we net cash settled the remaining 0.3 million shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $17.53 per share against a weighted average forward price of $19.01 per share, resulting in additional net proceeds to us of $0.4 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we entered into forward sales transactions under our At-the-Market offering program for the forward sale of approximately 2.7 million shares of our common stock. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we net cash settled all 2.7 million shares at a weighted average price of $16.81 per share against a weighted average forward price of $21.02 per share, resulting in net proceeds to us of approximately $11.3 million.

Our Board of Directors previously authorized a stock repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of the Company's common stock, demonstrating our commitment to returning capital to shareholders. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased approximately 1.9 million shares of common stock at an average price per share of $16.00 pursuant to our stock repurchase program. The total aggregate cost for the quarter was approximately $30.0 million. As of December 31, 2025, there was approximately $220.0 million remaining under our stock repurchase program.

New $350 Million Unsecured Term Loan

On February 11, 2026, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement that provides for a new $350 million unsecured term loan that was used to repay our $200 million term loan and fund mortgage maturities set for 2026. The new $350 million term loan matures in February 2030, subject to a one-year extension option. This amended and restated credit agreement strengthened our balance sheet by increasing the capacity under our unsecured credit agreement to $1.5 billion (with the ability to request an increase of up to $2.0 billion) and extending our debt maturity profile.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

At December 31, 2025, our net debt to Adjusted EBITDA was 5.7x. As of the same date and including the effect of hedges, our weighted average effective interest rate on our consolidated debt was 4.3% with a weighted average maturity of 3.0 years, and 100% of our debt was either subject to fixed interest rates or was hedged. Also as of December 31, 2025, we had approximately $574.7 million in liquidity through a combination of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, and capacity under our unsecured revolver.

Dividend Distribution

On December 15, 2025, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.17 per share of common stock. The fourth quarter dividend was paid on January 23, 2026 to stockholders of record at the close of business on December 31, 2025.

2026 EPS, FFO and CFFO Guidance

(1)

This guidance, including the underlying assumptions, constitutes forward-looking information. Actual results could vary significantly from the projections presented. We undertake no duty to update the assumptions used in our guidance except as required by law. See “Forward-Looking Statements.”

(2)

Interest expense includes amortization of deferred financing costs but excludes loan premium accretion, net. As a result of purchase accounting we recorded loan premiums, net, that are accreted into and reduce GAAP interest expense over the remaining term of the associated debt. However, loan premium accretion is excluded from CFFO.

(3)

Acquisition volume reflects one property in Columbus, Ohio that was acquired for $29.5 million in the first quarter of 2026 and approximately $115.5 million associated with the consolidation of a property underlying our joint venture investment in Austin, Texas. Disposition volume reflects $106 million to $112 million related to the expected disposition of two properties classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025. The proceeds from these dispositions will be used to either acquire assets, de-lever, or buyback stock. There can be no assurance that these dispositions will be consummated at expected pricing levels, within expected time frames, or at all. We continue to evaluate our portfolio for capital recycling opportunities so actual acquisition and disposition volume could vary significantly from our projections.

Schedule V
Independence Realty Trust, Inc.
Definitions

Average Effective Monthly Rent per Unit

Average effective rent per unit represents the average of net rent amounts, after concessions amortized over the life of the lease, divided by the average occupancy (in units) for the period presented. We believe average effective rent is a helpful measurement in evaluating average pricing. This metric, when presented, reflects the average effective rent per month.

Average Occupancy

Average occupancy represents the average occupied units for the reporting period divided by the average of total units available for rent for the reporting period.

Development Property

A development property is a property that is either currently under development or is in lease-up prior to reaching overall occupancy of 90%.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

Each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense including amortization of deferred financing costs, income tax expense, and depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA before certain other non-cash or non-operating gains or losses related to items such as loss on impairment (gain on sale) of real estate, debt extinguishments and acquisition related debt extinguishment expenses, casualty (gains) losses and income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated real estate entities. We consider each of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of performance because it eliminates interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and other non-cash or non-operating gains and losses, which permits investors to view income from operations without these non-cash or non-operating items. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA differs from the methodology used for calculating Adjusted EBITDA by certain other REITs and, accordingly, our Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA reported by other REITs.

Funds From Operations (FFO) and Core Funds From Operations (CFFO)

We believe that FFO and CFFO, each of which is a non-GAAP financial measure, are additional appropriate measures of the operating performance of a REIT and us in particular. We compute FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), as net income or loss allocated to common shares (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense, loss on impairment (gain on sale) of real estate and unconsolidated real estate entities, and the cumulative effect of changes in accounting principles. While our calculation of FFO is in accordance with NAREIT’s definition, it may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to FFO computations of such other REITs.

CFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real estate company’s operating performance by removing the effect of items that do not reflect ongoing property operations, including depreciation and amortization of other items not included in FFO, and other non-cash or non-operating gains or losses related to items such as casualty (gains) losses, loan premium accretion and discount amortization and debt extinguishment costs from the determination of FFO.

Our calculation of CFFO may differ from the methodology used for calculating CFFO by other REITs and, accordingly, our CFFO may not be comparable to CFFO reported by other REITs. Our management utilizes FFO and CFFO as measures of our operating performance, and believe they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an understanding of our operating performance after adjustment for certain non-cash or non-recurring items that are required by GAAP to be expensed but may not necessarily be indicative of current operating performance and our operating performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, CFFO and other supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout the REIT industry, we believe that FFO and CFFO may provide us and our investors with an additional useful measure to compare our financial performance to certain other REITs. Neither FFO nor CFFO is equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and CFFO do not represent amounts available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments or uncertainties. Accordingly, FFO and CFFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all of our cash needs, including principal amortization and capital improvements. Neither FFO nor CFFO should be considered as an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing, and financing activities as a measure of our liquidity.

Interest Coverage

Interest coverage is a ratio computed by dividing Adjusted EBITDA by interest expense.

Net Debt

Net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure, equals total consolidated debt less cash and cash equivalents and loan premiums and discounts. The following table provides a reconciliation of total consolidated debt to net debt (dollars in thousands).

We present net debt and net debt to Adjusted EBITDA because management believes it is a useful measure of our credit position and progress toward reducing leverage. The calculation is limited because we may not always be able to use cash to repay debt on a dollar for dollar basis.

Net Operating Income

We believe that Net Operating Income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, is a useful measure of our operating performance. We define NOI as total property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding interest expense, depreciation and amortization, casualty related costs and gains, property management expenses, general and administrative expenses and net gains on sale of assets.

Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that this measure provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating income or net income. We use NOI to evaluate our performance on a same-store and non same-store basis because NOI measures the core operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses and other items not related to property operating performance and captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses. However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our financial performance.

Non Same-Store Properties and Non Same-Store Portfolio

Properties that did not meet the definition of a same-store property as of the beginning of the previous year.

Same-Store Properties and Same-Store Portfolio

We review our same-store portfolio at the beginning of each calendar year. Properties are added into the same-store portfolio if they were owned and not a development property at the beginning of the previous year. Properties that are held for sale or have been sold are excluded from the same-store portfolio.

Rent Premium on Value Add Renovations

The rent premium reflects the per unit per month difference between the rental rate on the renovated unit excluding the impact of upfront concessions, if any, and the market rent for an unrenovated unit as of the date presented, as determined by management consistent with its customary rent-setting and evaluation procedures. We believe excluding the impact of upfront concessions from our rental rates when comparing to the market rental rates for unrenovated units makes the comparison most relevant and the resulting premium provides management with an indicator of the increased rent generated by the unit renovation.

Renovation Costs per Unit

Renovation costs per unit includes all costs to renovate the interior units and make certain exterior renovations, including clubhouses and amenities. Interior costs per unit are based on units leased. Exterior costs per unit are based on total units at the community. Excludes overhead costs to support and manage the Value Add program as those costs relate to the entire program and cannot be allocated to individual projects.

Return on Investment (ROI) on Value Add Renovations

ROI is calculated using the Rent Premium per unit per month, multiplied by 12, divided by the interior renovation costs per unit or the total renovation costs, as applicable. We use ROI on Value Add renovation projects to measure the profitability of a renovation project relative to other projects or relative to other uses of our capital.

Total Gross Assets

Total Gross Assets equals total assets plus accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization, including fully depreciated or amortized real estate and real estate related assets. The following table provides a reconciliation of total assets to total gross assets (dollars in thousands).
