Earnings Reviewed
For Q2 2017, Invitation Homes' total revenues increased 5.1% to $242.22 million compared to revenue of $230.50 million in Q2 2016. Revenue growth was driven by an increase in average rental rate per home that more than offset a slight decline in home count. The Company's total property operating and maintenance expenses increased 1.7% to $93 million. Invitation Homes' revenue exceeded estimates of $240.58 million.
Invitation Homes' net income for the three months ended June 30, 2017, was $5.53 million compared to net loss of $19.67 million in Q2 2016. The turnaround was attributed to higher revenues, lower interest expense, and an increase in net gain on sale of property, partially offset by higher total operating expenses.
Invitation Homes' core funds from operations (FFO) for the three months ended June 30, 2017, increased 17.9% to $77.2 million, primarily due to an increase in net operating income (NOI), driven by higher revenues. The Company's adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) for the three months ended June 30, 2017, increased 21.5% to $65.6 million.
Operating Results
For the total portfolio, Invitation Homes' occupancy decreased to 95.0% in Q2 2017 from 95.1% in Q2 2016, and increased to 95.0% in YTD 2017 from 94.8% in YTD 2016.
For the reported quarter, Same Store revenue growth of 4.6% was driven by a 4.3% increase in average monthly rent and a 22.4% increase in other property income, partially offset by a 0.5% decline in average occupancy to 95.9%.
Invitation Homes' Same Store expenses increased 1.9% on a y-o-y basis for Q2 2017, driven primarily by 11.3% higher property taxes. The Company noted that California property tax reassessments related to the initial public offering (IPO) became estimable in Q2 2017, and the incremental taxes accrued in H1 2017 for expected reassessments were booked entirely in Q2 2017. Excluding the impact of property taxes attributable to Q1 2017 that were booked in Q2 2017, Same Store property taxes would have increased by 9.1% in the reported quarter, and Same Store expenses would have increased by 1.0%.
