Financial Results

Silver Bay reported total revenue of $31.1 million for the first quarter of 2016, a 40% increase compared to total revenue of $22.3 million for the first quarter of 2015. This increase was due primarily to the increase in the number of leased properties generating rental income, and to a lesser extent, rental growth. The Company owned 8,702 leased properties as of March 31, 2016, as compared to 6,329 leased properties as of March 31, 2015. Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2016 was $3.4 million, or $0.09 per common share, compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders for the first quarter of 2015 of $3.6 million, or $0.10 per common share.

The Company reported net operating income (“NOI”) of $17.6 million for the first quarter of 2016, a 48% increase compared to NOI of $11.9 million for the first quarter of 2015.

Operating Metrics

Silver Bay reported an aggregate occupancy rate of 96.9% as of March 31, 2016, an increase from 92.2%, in the first quarter 2015. A summary of Silver Bay’s occupancy rates is included in the financial and operating tables accompanying this press release.

Silver Bay reported an average monthly rent for the aggregate portfolio of $1,178 as of March 31, 2016, compared to an average monthly rent of $1,200 as of March 31, 2015. This decrease in average monthly rent was due to a change in the portfolio mix related to The American Home portfolio acquisition (the "Portfolio Acquisition"), partially offset by rental growth. Same-Home average monthly rent was $1,238 as of March 31, 2016, compared to an average monthly rent of $1,197 as of March 31, 2015.

Silver Bay's trailing twelve-month turnover improved 40 basis points to 29.0% as of March 31, 2016 from 29.4% as of March 31, 2015.

Same-Home Metrics

The Company began today reporting Same-Home metrics for the first quarter of 2016. The Same-Home portfolio of 5,985 properties represents approximately 67% of the total Company portfolio as of March 31, 2016. Same-Home NOI grew $0.7 million to $12.1 million and as a percentage of revenue improved 50 basis points to 55.2% compared to a year ago. This increase was primarily due to revenue growth resulting from higher occupancy and rental rate growth, partially offset by an increase in certain property operating expenses. Occupancy increased on the Same-Home portfolio by 130 basis points to 97.6% and average monthly rent increased 3.4% to $1,238, each as of March 31, 2016. Additional detail on the Company's Same-Home portfolio is located in the supplemental financial and operating data accompanying this press release.

Disposition Activity

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company sold 53 single-family homes for an aggregate price of $7.3 million. Net gain for these sales totaled $1.3 million, excluding the net gain on homes acquired in the Portfolio Acquisition whose gain will be re-allocated to the purchase price within one year of the acquisition.

Share Repurchase Plan

During the first quarter of 2016, the Company repurchased and retired 545,223 shares under the plan for a total cost of $7.9 million at an average purchase price of $14.43 per share, inclusive of commissions.

SILVER BAY REALTY TRUST CORP.DEFINITIONS AND RECONCILIATIONS OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES(AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT SHARE DATA)

In addition to the Company's net loss which is presented in accordance with GAAP, the Company also presents certain supplemental non-GAAP performance measures. These measures are not to be considered more relevant or accurate than the performance measures presented in accordance with GAAP. In compliance with applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Company's non-GAAP measures are reconciled to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP performance measure. As with other non-GAAP performance measures, neither the SEC nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on these non-GAAP performance measures.

Net Operating Income and Same-Home Net Operating Income

The Company defines net operating income ("NOI") as total revenue less property operating and maintenance, real estate taxes, homeowners’ association fees, and property management expenses. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization, portfolio acquisition expense, general and administrative expenses, share-based compensation, severance and other, interest expense, net gain on disposition of real estate, income tax expense, net and other non-comparable items as applicable. The Company considers NOI to be a meaningful financial measure when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes NOI is helpful to investors in understanding the core performance of its real estate operations.

The Company defines Same-Home properties as those properties (1) that it had stabilized and for which it had completed the initial renovation as of January 1, 2015 and (2) that it held in operations throughout the full periods presented in both 2015 and 2016. Same-Home properties exclude properties classified as held for sale and properties taken out of service as a result of a casualty loss. The Company considers a property stabilized at the earlier of (1) its first authorized occupancy or (2) 90 days after the renovations for such property are complete regardless of whether the property is leased. Properties acquired with in-place leases are considered stabilized even though such properties require a future initial renovation to meet the Company's standards and may have existing residents who would not otherwise meet the resident screening requirements. The Company believes Same-Home NOI is a useful measure of performance because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, thereby eliminating the effects of changes in the composition of the portfolio.

The following is a reconciliation of NOI and Same-Home NOI to net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (amounts in thousands):

          Three Months Ended March 31, 2016       2015 Net loss $ (3,589 ) $ (3,841 ) Depreciation and amortization 9,366 7,111 Portfolio acquisition expense — 755 General and administrative 3,853 3,984 Share-based compensation 572 497 Severance and other 1,667 — Interest expense 6,212 3,486 Net gain on disposition of real estate (1,285 ) — Other expense (income) 330 (266 ) Income tax expense, net 467 66 Property operating and maintenance add back: Market ready costs prior to initial lease and other —   84   Net operating income 17,593 11,876 Less non-Same-Home Total revenue (9,285 ) (1,510 ) Property operating expenses 3,755   973   Same-Home net operating income $ 12,063   $ 11,339     Net operating income as a percentage of total revenue 56.5 % 53.4 % Same-Home net operating income as a percentage of Same-Home total revenue 55.2 % 54.7 %  

Neither NOI nor Same-Home NOI should not be considered an alternative to net loss or net cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as indications of its performance or as measures of liquidity. Although the Company uses these non-GAAP measures for comparability in assessing its performance against other REITs, not all REITs compute these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the basis for computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other REITs.

Funds From Operations and Core Funds From Operations

Funds from operations ("FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company believes, when considered with the financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is helpful to investors in understanding its performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of, and impairment losses recognized with respect to, depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated on the same basis to determine FFO.

Core funds from operations ("Core FFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure that the Company uses as a supplemental measure of its performance. The Company believes that Core FFO is further helpful to investors as it provides a more consistent measurement of its performance across reporting periods by removing the impact of certain items that are not comparable from period to period. The Company adjusts FFO for expensed acquisition fees and costs, including those associated with the Portfolio Acquisition, share-based compensation, income tax expense on the disposition of real estate, and certain other non-cash or non-comparable costs to arrive at Core FFO.

FFO and Core FFO should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or net cash flows from operating activities, as determined in accordance with GAAP, as indications of the Company's performance or as measures of liquidity. These non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. In addition, although the Company uses these non-GAAP measures for comparability in assessing its performance against other REITs, not all REITs compute these non-GAAP measures in the same manner. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Company's basis for computing these non-GAAP measures is comparable with that of other REITs. This is due in part to the differences in capitalization policies used by different companies and the significant effect these capitalization policies have on FFO and Core FFO. Real estate costs incurred in connection with real estate operations which are accounted for as capital improvements are added to the carrying value of the property and depreciated over time, whereas real estate costs that are expenses are accounted for as a current period expense. This impacts FFO and Core FFO because costs that are accounted for as expenses reduce FFO and Core FFO. Conversely, real estate costs associated with assets that are capitalized and then subsequently depreciated are excluded from the calculation of FFO and Core FFO.

FFO and Core FFO are calculated on a gross basis and, as such, do not reflect adjustments for the noncontrolling interests - Operating Partnership.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of the Company's net loss as determined in accordance with GAAP and its calculations of FFO and Core FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. Also presented is information regarding the weighted-average number of shares of its common stock and common units of the Operating Partnership outstanding used for the computation of FFO and Core FFO per share (amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

          Three Months Ended March 31, 2016       2015 Net loss $ (3,589 ) $ (3,841 ) Depreciation and amortization 9,366 7,111 Net gain on disposition of real estate (1,285 ) — Other expense (income) 59   (286 ) Funds from operations 4,551 2,984   Adjustments: Portfolio acquisition expense (1) — 755 Share-based compensation 572 497 Severance and other 1,667 — Market ready costs prior to initial lease and other — 84 Write-off of deferred financing fees — 31 Amortization of discount on securitization loan 75 75 Income tax expense on disposition of real estate 350 — Other expense (2) —   64   Core funds from operations $ 7,215   $ 4,490     FFO $ 4,551 $ 2,984 Preferred stock distributions (25 ) (25 ) FFO available to common shares and units $ 4,526   $ 2,959     Core FFO $ 7,215 $ 4,490 Preferred stock distributions (25 ) (25 ) Core FFO available to common shares and units $ 7,190   $ 4,465     Weighted average common shares and units outstanding (3) 38,254,464   38,660,320   FFO per share $ 0.12   $ 0.08   Core FFO per share $ 0.19   $ 0.12     (1)   Includes a one-time expense for costs related to the Portfolio Acquisition.
