Current report

On July 17, 2024, we sold one multifamily apartment community in Birmingham, Alabama for a gross sales price of $70.8 million. We used the proceeds from this sale as part of a 1031 exchange to acquire the Gateway at Pinellas property described below.

Current report

On August 13, 2024, we acquired Gateway at Pinellas in Tampa, Florida, a 288-unit multifamily apartment community for $82.0 million. This acquisition expanded our footprint in Tampa-St. Petersburg, Florida from 1,503 units to 1,791 units.

Current report

We are currently under contract on acquisitions of three properties in Charlotte, Orlando, and Columbus, which will expand our footprint in each of these markets while providing enhanced scale and synergies. The aggregate purchase price of these three properties is approximately $184 million, which we expect to fund using forward equity sales proceeds and revolver debt. We expect to close on the acquisition of these three properties during the fourth quarter of 2024. While these three properties are under contract, there can be no assurance that these acquisitions will be consummated at expected pricing levels, within expected time frames, or at all.

Current report

On October 26, 2023, our Board of Directors approved a plan, which we refer to as our Portfolio Optimization and Deleveraging Strategy, which targeted the sale of ten properties located in seven markets in order to exit or reduce our presence in these markets while also deleveraging our balance sheet.

Current report

Completed Public Offering of 11.5 Million Shares of Common Stock

Current report

On September 3, 2024, we entered into an underwriting agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Inc., KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. and RBC Capital Markets LLC as representatives of the several underwriters named therein, (collectively, the “Underwriters”), and Citigroup Global Markets Inc. in its capacity as agent (in such capacity, the “Forward Seller”) for Citibank, N.A., as forward counterparty (the “Forward Counterparty”) and the Forward Counterparty related to the offering of an aggregate of 11,500,000 shares of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share, at a price of $18.96 per share consisting of 11,500,000 shares of our common stock offered by the Forward Seller in connection with the forward sale agreements described below (including 1,500,000 shares offered pursuant to the Underwriter’s option to purchase additional shares, which was exercised in full). We did not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of our common stock by the Forward Seller. We completed the offering on September 5, 2024.

Current report

In connection with the offering, we also entered into two forward sale agreements. The first forward sale agreement (the “Initial Forward Sale Agreement”), dated September 3, 2024, with the Forward Seller and Forward Counterparty, and the second forward sale agreement (the “Additional Forward Sale Agreement”, together with the Initial Forward Sale Agreement, the “Forward Sale Agreements”), dated September 4, 2024, with the Forward Seller and the Forward Counterparty. In connection with the Forward Sale Agreements, the Forward Seller (or its affiliate) borrowed from third parties and sold to the Underwriters an aggregate of 11,500,000 shares of our common stock that was sold in the offering. As of September 30, 2024, 11,500,000 shares of our common stock remain to be settled under the Forward Sale Agreements, which if physically settled would provide additional proceeds to us of $216.8 million based on the forward price as of September 30, 2024. We expect to physically settle the Forward Sale Agreements and receive proceeds, subject to certain adjustments, from the sale of those shares upon one or more such physical settlements within approximately twelve months from the date of the prospectus supplement, no later than September 5, 2025, the scheduled maturity date of the Forward Sale Agreements. Although we expect to settle the Forward Sale Agreements entirely by the physical delivery of shares of our common stock for cash proceeds, we may also elect to cash or net share settle all or a portion of our obligations under the Forward Sale Agreements, in which case, we may receive or owe cash or shares of our common stock from or to the Forward Seller. The Forward Sale Agreements provide for an initial forward sale price of $18.96 per share, subject to certain adjustments pursuant to the terms of each of the Forward Sale Agreements. The Forward Sale Agreements are subject to early termination or settlement under certain circumstances.

Current report

On August 19, 2024, we entered into a Note and Guaranty Agreement granting us the right to sell up to $150 million of unsecured notes (the “Private Placement”), consisting of $75 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes due October 1, 2031 and $75 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes due October 1, 2034, to an institutional investor in a Private Placement at fixed annual interest rates of 5.32% and 5.53%, respectively. On October 1, 2024, the Private Placement was funded with proceeds to be used to repay approximately $132 million of property mortgages maturing in late 2024 and early 2025, with the remaining $18 million to reduce the borrowings under our unsecured credit facility. Upon completion of the full repayment of the foregoing approximately $132 million of our maturing property mortgages, it is expected that over 60% of our assets’ NOI will be unencumbered.

Current report

During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we entered into forward sale transactions under the ATM Program for the forward sale of an aggregate 1,500,000 shares of our common stock. The forward sale transactions have not yet settled as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we have not received any net proceeds from the offering as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Subject to our right to elect net share settlement, we expect to physically settle the forward sale transactions by the maturity date of September 30, 2025 as set forth in the forward sale transactions placement notice. As of September 30, 2024, 1,500,000 shares of our common stock remain to be settled under the forward sale transactions, which if physically settled would provide additional proceeds to us of $29.1 million, net of sales commissions, based on the forward price as of September 30, 2024, subject to adjustment in accordance with the forward sale transactions. As of September 30, 2024, approximately $420.4 million remained available for issuance under the ATM Program.

Current report

On October 30, 2024, we received a ‘BBB’ issuer credit rating and stable outlook from S&P Global Ratings. The rating is for IRT and our operating partnership Independence Realty Operating Partnership L.P.

Previous report

Property management expenses. Property management expenses increased $0.9 million to $7.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $6.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to higher personnel costs driven by $0.2 million of employee retention credit benefits realized in the prior year period.

Depreciation and amortization expense. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $0.1 million to $54.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 from $54.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to depreciation expenses driven by capital expenditures related to our value add program partially offset by lower depreciation from sold properties.

Previous report

Loss from investments in unconsolidated real estate entities. Loss from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $0.4 million to $0.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, primarily due to the completion of construction activities at two investments in unconsolidated real estate entities and increased occupancies and operating results during the lease-up phase.
