Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Total revenues increased 24% to $19.7 million, driven by the acquisition of 897 units in residential communities and organic rental rate growth, partially offset by the sale of 258 single-family units since January 2025.
• NOI Expansion: Net Operating Income rose 29% to $10.6 million. The residential communities segment saw a 62.5% increase in NOI, while the scattered single-family homes segment declined 14.2% due to portfolio sales.
• Net Loss Increase: GAAP net loss widened to $(10.3) million from $(7.3) million. This was primarily due to a $1.6 million decrease in income from preferred equity investments (following redemptions/sales) and $0.9 million in deferred offering costs expensed after terminating the Series A Preferred Offering.
• Asset Sales: The Company sold 131 single-family units for approximately $22.0 million, generating net proceeds of $17.2 million and a gain of $0.6 million.
• Acquisitions: Acquired 10 additional units at Parkside at Summers Corner for $2.6 million.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Capital Markets: The Company terminated its Series A Preferred Stock offering in March 2026 after issuing 6.5 million shares. It initiated a Series B Preferred Stock offering (7.5% dividend) in February 2026, issuing 104,288 shares with $1.5 million in net proceeds.
• Liquidity: The Company maintains $170.1 million in cash and has a $50 million revolving credit facility (KeyBank) with no outstanding balance. Management expects sufficient liquidity to meet requirements for the next 12 months.
• Development Pipeline: Significant capital commitments remain for two consolidated residential communities under construction (Abode Wendell Falls and Harmony at Clear Creek), with estimated remaining costs of $111.3 million. Additionally, 78 units remain to be acquired at Parkside at Summers Corner ($20.0 million).
• Risks: Management highlights risks related to economic volatility, inflation, rising interest rates, and geopolitical conditions. There is also exposure to construction cost increases and potential delays in build-to-rent stabilization.
• Stock Repurchase: A new $10 million stock repurchase plan was authorized in February 2026; no repurchases were made as of March 31, 2026.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Preferred Equity Returns: Verify the impact of the reduced preferred equity portfolio on future income streams, as income from these investments dropped significantly year-over-year.
• Construction Costs: Monitor the $111.3 million remaining cost to complete development projects and the Company's ability to fund these via cash, loans, or preferred equity.
• Debt Maturities: Review the debt maturity schedule, noting $27.7 million due in the remainder of 2026 and $75.9 million in 2027.
• Occupancy Trends: Track occupancy rates in the scattered single-family homes segment, which averaged 87.2% (excluding held-for-sale units), compared to 95.1% in residential communities.
• Series B Offering Progress: Assess the pace of the Series B Preferred Stock offering to determine if it will meet capital needs for development and operations.
