Organization and Operations Organization and Operations
American Homes 4 Rent (“AMH” or the “General Partner”) is an internally managed Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”) formed on October 19, 2012 for the purpose of acquiring, developing, renovating, leasing and managing single-family homes as rental properties. American Homes 4 Rent, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership formed on October 22, 2012, and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership” or the “OP”) is the entity through which the Company conducts substantially all of its business and owns, directly or through subsidiaries, substantially all of its assets. References to the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” mean collectively AMH, the Operating Partnership and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by AMH and/or the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2024, the Company held 61,336 single-family properties in 24 states, including 805 properties classified as held for sale.
AMH is the general partner of, and as of December 31, 2024 owned approximately 87.8% of the common partnership interest in, the Operating Partnership. The remaining 12.2% of the common partnership interest was owned by limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, AMH has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management. The Company’s management operates AMH and the Operating Partnership as one business, and the management of AMH consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. AMH’s primary function is acting as the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The only material asset of AMH is its partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. As a result, AMH generally does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. AMH itself is not directly obligated under any indebtedness, but guarantees some of the debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership owns substantially all of the assets of the Company, including the Company’s ownership interests in its joint ventures, either directly or through its subsidiaries, conducts the operations of the Company’s business and is structured as a limited partnership with no publicly traded equity. One difference between the Company and the Operating Partnership was $25.7 million of asset-backed securitization certificates issued by the Operating Partnership and purchased by AMH in connection with the Operating Partnership’s AMH 2014-SFR2 securitization debt offering. The asset-backed securitization certificates were recorded as asset-backed securitization certificates receivable by the Company and as an amount due from affiliates by the Operating Partnership prior to the Operating Partnership’s payoff of the AMH 2014-SFR2 securitization during the first quarter of 2024 (see Note 7. Debt). AMH contributes all net proceeds from its various equity offerings to the Operating Partnership. In return for those contributions, AMH receives Operating Partnership units (“OP units”) equal to the number of shares it has issued in the equity offering. Based on the terms of the Agreement of Limited Partnership of the Operating Partnership, as amended, OP units can be exchanged for shares on a one-for-one basis. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by AMH, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the Company’s business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, by the Operating Partnership’s incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of OP units.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Any references in this report to the number of properties is outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit of our financial statements, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been made.

In Note 4. Rent and Other Receivables, the Company reclassified certain immaterial tenant charge-backs from variable lease payments to fixed lease payments for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and certain immaterial fees from single-family properties from variable lease payments to fixed lease payments for the year ended December 31, 2023 to conform with the current year presentation.

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements present the accounts of both (i) the Company, which include AMH, the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries, and (ii) the Operating Partnership, which include the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company consolidates real estate partnerships and other entities that are not variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), when it owns, directly or indirectly, a majority interest in the entity or is otherwise able to control the entity. Entities that are not VIEs and for which the Company owns an interest and has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. See Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures below for a further discussion of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

The Company consolidates VIEs in accordance with ASC 810 if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as determined by its power to direct the VIE’s activities and the obligation to absorb its losses or the right to receive its benefits, which are potentially significant to the VIE.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into real estate exchange transactions in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in order to defer taxable gains on the exchange of like-kind property (“1031 Exchange”). Our 1031 Exchange transactions are facilitated by a qualified intermediary (the “QI”), which holds the proceeds from the Company’s disposition of real properties until such transactions are complete. The QI established a special purpose entity, which was determined to be a VIE (the “1031 VIE”), to hold the disposition proceeds in an escrow account and the 1031 VIE must use the proceeds to acquire replacement real property for the Company in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 1031 of the Code. To the extent the proceeds are not used to acquire replacement real property, the 1031 VIE pays the proceeds to the Company. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the 1031 VIE as it retains essentially all economic benefits related to the 1031 VIE and directs the activities that most significantly impact the 1031 VIE’s economic performance and therefore the 1031 VIE and the related disposition proceeds are consolidated within the consolidated financial statements.

The Company also holds investments in venture capital funds and deposits with land banking entities that we determined are VIEs. As the Company does not control the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities, the Company was deemed not to be the primary beneficiary and therefore did not consolidate the entities. See Investments in Venture Capital Funds and Land Option Contracts below for further discussion.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Income Taxes

AMH has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 to 860 of the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2012. We believe that we have operated, and continue to operate, in such a manner as to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT. Provided that we qualify as a REIT and our distributions to our shareholders equal or exceed our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and including any net capital gains), we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.

Qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, including tests related to the percentage of income that we earn from specified sources and the percentage of our earnings that we distribute to our shareholders. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will continue to be organized or be able to operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax and state income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and we would likely be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT until the fifth calendar year following the year in which we fail to qualify.

Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state or local income and capital taxes and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed REIT taxable income, if any. Certain of our subsidiaries are subject to taxation by U.S. federal, state and local authorities for the periods presented. We made joint elections to treat certain subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries which are
subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes on their income at regular corporate rates. The tax years from 2020 to present generally remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

We believe that our Operating Partnership is properly treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Operating Partnership is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on our income. Instead, each of the Operating Partnership’s partners, including AMH, is allocated, and may be required to pay tax with respect to, its share of the Operating Partnership’s income. As such, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been included for the Operating Partnership.

ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, requires recognition of deferred tax assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained, based solely on its technical merits, with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. The measurement of a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that meets the more likely than not threshold is based on a cumulative probability model under which the largest amount of tax benefit recognized is the amount with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. As of December 31, 2024, there were no deferred tax assets and liabilities or unrecognized tax benefits recorded by the Company. We do not anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

As a REIT, we generally are required to distribute annually to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and any net capital gains) and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and including any net capital gains). The Operating Partnership funds the payment of distributions. We historically used our net operating loss (“NOL”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes to reduce our REIT taxable income and have substantially utilized our NOL as of December 31, 2023.

Investments in Real Estate

Purchases of single-family properties are treated as asset acquisitions and, as such, are recorded at their purchase price, including acquisition costs, which is allocated to land and building based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Fair value is determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and is primarily based on unobservable data inputs. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the total purchase price to individual homes in a portfolio acquisition and allocating the individual purchase price of a home to the acquired components, the Company utilizes its own market knowledge obtained from historical transactions, its internal construction program (the “AMH Development Program”) and published market data. In this regard, the Company also utilizes information obtained from county tax assessment records to assist in the determination of the fair value of the land and building. Typically, we allocate between 10% to 30% of the purchase price of properties to land. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company purchased 1,724 single-family properties treated as asset acquisitions for accounting purposes for a total purchase price of $495.9 million, net of holding costs, which was included in cash paid for single-family properties within the consolidated statement of cash flows.

The nature of our business requires that in certain circumstances we acquire single-family properties subject to existing liens. Liens that we expect to be extinguished in cash are estimated and accrued for on the date of acquisition and recorded as a cost of the property.

We incur costs to prepare properties acquired through our traditional acquisition channels for rental. These costs, along with related holding costs, are capitalized to the cost of the property during the period the property is undergoing activities to prepare it for its intended use. We capitalize interest costs as a cost of the property only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interest costs have been incurred. Upon completion of the renovation of our properties, all costs of operations, including repairs and maintenance, are expensed as incurred.

Single-Family Properties Under Development and Development Land

Land and construction in progress for our AMH Development Program are presented separately in single-family properties under development and development land within the consolidated balance sheets. Our capitalization policy on development properties
follows the guidance in ASC 835-20, Capitalization of Interest, and ASC 970, Real Estate-General. Costs directly related to the development of properties are capitalized and the costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. We also capitalize interest, real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, and payroll costs for land and construction in progress under active development once the applicable GAAP criteria have been met.

Single-Family Properties and Land Held for Sale

Single-family properties and land lots are classified as held for sale when they meet the applicable GAAP criteria in accordance with ASC 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment—Overall, including, but not limited to, the availability of the property for immediate sale in its present condition, the existence of an active program to locate a buyer and the probable sale of the property within one year. Single-family properties and land lots classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell, and are presented separately in single-family properties and land held for sale, net within the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had 805 and 862 single-family properties, respectively, classified as held for sale, and recorded $9.2 million, $1.9 million and $2.5 million of impairment on single-family properties and land held for sale for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which is included in gain on sale and impairment of single-family properties and other, net within the consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations of properties that have either been sold or classified as held for sale, if due to a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations or financial results, are reported in the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations for both current and prior periods presented through the date of the applicable disposition in accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements—Discontinued Operations. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, none of the properties classified as held for sale met the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment periodically or whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Significant indicators of impairment may include, but are not limited to, sustained losses, declines in home values, rental rates and occupancy percentages, as well as significant changes in the economy. If an impairment indicator exists, we compare the expected future undiscounted cash flows against the net carrying amount. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the net carrying amount, we record an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value of the individual property and the carrying amount of the property at that date. Excluding the effects of casualty losses, no impairments on operating properties were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Land Option Contracts

We enter into land option contracts to acquire the right to purchase land for our AMH Development Program. Under these contracts, we typically make a specified option payment or deposit in consideration for the right to purchase land in the future, usually at a predetermined price. We analyze these land option contracts under the variable interest model to determine whether the land seller is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Although the Company does not have legal title to the underlying land, we may be required to consolidate the related VIE if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Deposits with land banking entities determined to be VIEs but not consolidated because we are not the primary beneficiary are at held at cost and included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying value of these deposits and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss was $6.9 million and $15.7 million, respectively.

We also consider whether the land option contracts should be accounted for as financing arrangements when the land banking entity is not consolidated under the variable interest model, as may be required if the land banking entity or other third-party acquires specific land parcels directly from us, on our behalf or at our direction or where we make improvements to the underlying land during the option period. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into land option agreements whereby it sold land to a third party with an option to repurchase finished lots on a predetermined schedule. Because of our options to repurchase the finished lots, in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-70, we accounted for these transactions as financing arrangements rather than a sale. Consolidated land not owned is included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets and the liability for consolidated land not owned, which represents proceeds received from the third party net of our deposits on the optioned land, is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 5. Escrow Deposits, Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets and Note 8. Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses). Improvements made to the land under the related development agreements prior to exercising the options to repurchase the finished lots are capitalized to consolidated land not owned and reimbursement proceeds from the land banking entity are accreted to liability for consolidated land not owned in the consolidated balance sheets. If
the option to repurchase finished lots is exercised, the Company reclassifies the associated consolidated land not owned to single-family properties and reduces its liability for consolidated land not owned accordingly.

Commercial Office Leases

We lease commercial office space from third parties for use in our corporate and property management operations. Commercial office leases are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, which requires us to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets for the rights and obligations created from these leases. Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. As the implicit rate is generally not determinable, the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are measured using our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The expected lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term in general and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of operations.

We elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption and do not establish right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for operating leases with terms of twelve months or less. We also elected the practical expedient allowing us to avoid separating non-lease components from the associated lease component for our commercial office leases. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are presented in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively, within the consolidated balance sheets.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of buildings, improvements and other assets. Buildings are depreciated over 30 years and improvements and other assets are depreciated over their estimated economic useful lives, generally three to 30 years.

Intangible Assets

Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. The Company reviews finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of an asset is less than its net book value, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of an asset. No impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Goodwill

Goodwill represents the fair value in excess of the tangible and separately identifiable intangible assets that were acquired in connection with the internalization of the Company’s management function in June 2013, including all administrative, financial, property management, marketing and leasing personnel, including executive management. Goodwill has an indefinite life and is therefore not amortized. The Company analyzes goodwill for impairment on an annual basis pursuant to ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, which permits us to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis to determine whether an impairment test is necessary. This qualitative assessment requires judgment to be applied in evaluating the effects of multiple factors, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, other relevant entity-specific events, events affecting the reporting unit, and whether or not there has been a sustained decrease in the Company’s stock price. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the goodwill impairment test. The impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the impairment loss is determined as the excess of the carrying amount of the goodwill reporting unit over the fair value of that goodwill, not to exceed the carrying amount. Impairment charges, if any, are recognized in operating results. Based on our assessment of qualitative factors on December 31, 2024, we concluded it was more likely than not that the Company’s recorded goodwill balance of $120.3 million was not impaired and did not perform the quantitative test. No goodwill impairment was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
Deferred Financing Costs

Financing costs related to the origination of the Company’s debt instruments are deferred and amortized as interest expense under the effective interest method over the contractual term of the applicable financing. Financing costs related to the origination of the Company’s revolving credit facility are presented net of accumulated amortization and included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. Financing costs related to the origination of the Company’s unsecured senior notes and asset-backed securitizations are presented net of accumulated amortization and are netted against the related debt instrument under liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We consider all demand deposits, cashier’s checks, money market accounts and certificates of deposit with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits at financial institutions. The combined account balances typically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance coverage, and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit. We believe that the risk is not significant.

Restricted cash primarily consists of funds held related to resident security deposits, cash reserves in accordance with certain loan agreements, funds held in the custody of our transfer agent for the payment of distributions and certain funds held for the purpose of facilitating 1031 Exchange transactions. Funds held related to resident security deposits are restricted during the term of the related lease agreement, which is generally one year. Cash reserved in connection with lender requirements is restricted during the term of the related debt instrument.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash per the consolidated statements of cash flows to the corresponding financial statement line items in the consolidated balance sheets (amounts in thousands):

Restricted cash150,803 162,476 148,805 
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash$350,216 $221,861 $217,960 

Escrow Deposits

Escrow deposits include refundable and non-refundable cash earnest money deposits for the purchase of properties and deposits related to land option contracts (see Land Option Contracts above). In addition, escrow deposits include amounts paid for single-family properties in certain states which require a judicial order when the risks and rewards of ownership of the property are transferred and the purchase is finalized.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are recorded initially at cost, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Under the equity method of accounting, our net equity investment is included in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures within the consolidated balance sheets, and our share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is included within other income and expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Our recognition of joint venture income or loss is generally based on ownership percentages, which may change upon the achievement of certain investment return thresholds. The ultimate realization of the investment in unconsolidated joint ventures is dependent on a number of factors, including the performance of each investment and market conditions. We classify distributions received from our unconsolidated joint ventures using the “cumulative earnings” approach, under which distributions up to the amount of cumulative equity in earnings recognized will be classified as cash inflows from operating activities, and those in excess of that amount will be classified as cash inflows from investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are reviewed for impairment periodically and we will record an impairment charge when events or circumstances change indicating that a decline in the fair values below the carrying values has occurred and such decline is other-than-temporary.
Investments in Venture Capital Funds

Investments in venture capital funds are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. We record our proportionate shares of net income or loss resulting from these investments within other income and expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. As discussed in Principles of Consolidation above, we determined the venture capital funds to be VIEs for which we are not the primary beneficiary. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying value of our investments in venture capital funds was $13.2 million and $13.0 million, respectively, and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss was $14.9 million and $15.6 million, respectively, which includes all future capital funding requirements.

Investments in Equity Securities

Our investments in equity securities, which are included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets, do not have readily determinable fair values. The Company elected the measurement alternative for its investments in these equity securities and measures these investments at cost less impairment, if any, and adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes for identical or similar investments in the same issuer. No unrealized gains or losses nor impairments were recorded during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Notes Receivable, Net

The Company obtained promissory notes in connection with two bulk dispositions of our single-family properties. The promissory note obtained during the second quarter of 2019 was paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2022 and the promissory note obtained during the first quarter of 2017 matured in the first quarter of 2022 and is still being actively collected. The promissory notes are secured by first priority mortgages on the disposed homes, contain certain covenants and require monthly or quarterly interest payments with the full principal due at maturity.

Notes receivable are presented net of discounts in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income from the notes, including amortization of discounts, is presented in other income and expense, net within the consolidated statements of operations. We are required to estimate and recognize lifetime expected losses on these notes receivable in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. Notes receivable are also presented net of the allowance for expected credit losses, which the Company estimates on a quarterly basis based on (i) credit quality indicators such as the borrower’s historical performance, including the borrower’s financial results and satisfaction of scheduled payments, (ii) current conditions, including macroeconomic conditions and other conditions affecting the borrower, and (iii) other reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. As part of the monitoring process, we may meet with a borrower’s management to better understand such borrower’s financial performance and its future plans on an as-needed basis. A note receivable will be categorized as non-performing if a borrower experiences financial difficulty and has failed to make scheduled payments. Changes to the allowance for expected credit losses are recognized in other income and expense, net within the consolidated statements of operations.

Revenue and Expense Recognition

We lease single-family properties that we own directly to tenants who occupy the properties under operating leases, generally, with a term of one year. In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company classifies our single-family property leases as operating leases and elects to not separate the lease component, comprised of rents from single-family properties, from the associated non-lease component, comprised of fees from single-family properties and tenant charge-backs. The combined component is accounted for under ASC 842, while certain tenant charge-backs are accounted for as variable payments under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Rental revenue, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which is not materially different than if it were recorded when due from tenants and recognized monthly as it is earned. Tenant charge-backs, which are primarily related to cost recoveries on utilities, are recognized as revenue on a gross basis in the period during which the expenses are incurred.

We accrue for property taxes and homeowners’ association (“HOA”) assessments based on amounts billed, and, in some circumstances, estimates and historical trends when bills or assessments are not available. The actual assessment may differ from the estimates, resulting in a change in estimate in a subsequent period.
Gains or losses on sales of properties and upon contributions to our unconsolidated joint ventures are recognized pursuant to the provisions included in ASC 610-20, Other Income. Under ASC 610-20, we must first determine whether the transaction is a sale to a customer or non-customer. We typically sell properties on a selective basis and not within the ordinary course of our operating business and therefore expect that our sale transactions will not be contracts with customers. We next determine whether we have a controlling financial interest in the property after the sale, consistent with the consolidation model in ASC 810, Consolidation. If we determine that we do not have a controlling financial interest in the real estate, we evaluate whether a contract exists under ASC 606 and whether the buyer has obtained control of the asset that was sold. We recognize a full gain or loss on sale, which is presented in gain on sale and impairment of single-family properties and other, net within the consolidated statements of operations, when the derecognition criteria under ASC 610-20 have been met.

Leasing Costs

Our leasing costs are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 842, Leases. Direct costs incurred due to the execution of a lease are initially capitalized and then amortized over the term of the lease, which is generally one year.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

Accounts payable and accrued expenses consists primarily of trade payables, accrued interest, distribution payables, resident security deposits, prepaid rent, construction and maintenance liabilities, HOA fees, operating lease liabilities and property tax accruals as of the end of the respective period presented. It also consists of liabilities for consolidated land not owned (see Land Option Contracts above) and contingent loss accruals, if any, when such losses are both probable and estimable. When it is reasonably possible that a significant contingent loss has occurred, we disclose the nature of the potential loss and, if estimable, a range of exposure.

Share-Based Compensation

Our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan and 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”), and our 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2021 ESPP”), are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Noncash share-based compensation costs related to options to purchase our Class A common shares, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted share units (“PSUs”) issued to members of the Company’s board of trustees and employees is based on the fair value of the options, RSUs and PSUs on the grant date and generally amortized over the service period. At the time of grant, the Company takes into consideration the timing of the equity award and evaluates for conditions that could result in the award to be considered spring-loaded, in which case the fair value would be adjusted. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not grant equity awards that would be considered spring-loaded. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

The Plans allow for continued release of awards based on the original vesting schedule, rather than forfeiture, of unvested share-based grants upon termination of service for employees who meet certain retirement eligibility criteria, including age and years of service. Retirement eligible employees must also provide a notice of intent to retire at least six months prior to retirement date and the Human Capital and Compensation Committee (the “HCC Committee”) must approve the continued release of awards. As a result of the six month notice requirement, compensation cost is recognized over six months from the grant date to the extent an employee is retirement eligible on the grant date and compensation cost is accelerated to the extent that an employee will become retirement eligible before six months prior to the end of the contractual life of their share-based grants.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between two willing parties. Fair value is a market-based measurement, and should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The GAAP valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.

See Note 12. Fair Value for our consideration of the fair value of our financial instruments.

Derivatives

From time to time, we may use treasury lock agreements or other derivative instruments for interest rate risk management purposes. We assess these derivatives at inception and on an ongoing basis for the effectiveness of qualifying cash flow hedges. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings as interest expense during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Cash flows from derivative instruments accounted for as a cash flow hedge are classified in the same category as the hedged transaction within the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require public entities to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reportable segment are also required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented unless it is impracticable. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2024. See Note 15. Segment Reporting.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require public entities to disclose disaggregated information about certain income statement expense line items in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied prospectively to reporting periods issued after the effective date or retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently assessing the impact of the guidance on its financial statements.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]  
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
As of December 31, 2024, the Company held 20% ownership interests in four unconsolidated joint ventures. In evaluating the Company’s 20% ownership interests in these joint ventures, we concluded that the joint ventures are not VIEs after applying the variable interest model and, therefore, we account for our interests in the joint ventures as investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries
after applying the voting interest model using the equity method of accounting. Equity in net income (losses) of unconsolidated joint ventures is included in other income and expense, net within the consolidated statements of operations.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company entered into a joint venture with the Alaska Permanent Fund Corporation (the “Alaska JV”) to invest in homes acquired through traditional acquisition channels.

During the third quarter of 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture with another leading institutional investor (the “Institutional Investor JV”) to invest in newly constructed single-family rental homes, which was subsequently amended and upsized to $312.5 million during the third quarter of 2019. The initial term of the joint venture with Institutional Investor JV is five years from the effective date of the amended agreement, during which neither member could unilaterally market properties for sale.

During the first quarter of 2020, the Company entered into a $253.1 million strategic joint venture, which has an evergreen term, with institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management (“J.P. Morgan JV I”) focused on constructing and operating newly built rental homes, which was subsequently upsized to $625.0 million during the second quarter of 2020. During the first quarter of 2023, the parties to J.P. Morgan JV I agreed to reinvest proceeds from debt financing obtained in the first quarter of 2022 (see below) to increase the size of the joint venture up to approximately $900.0 million.

During the third quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a $625.0 million second strategic joint venture, which has an evergreen term, with institutional investors advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management (“J.P. Morgan JV II”) focused on constructing and operating newly built rental homes.

The following table summarizes our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in thousands, except percentages and property data):

The Company provides various services to these joint ventures, which are considered to be related parties, including property management and development services and has opportunities to earn promoted interests. Management fee and development fee income from unconsolidated joint ventures was $14.4 million, $10.8 million and $13.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and is included in other income and expense, net within the consolidated statements of operations.

As a result of the Company’s management of these joint ventures, certain related party receivables and payables arise in the ordinary course of business and are included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets or amounts payable to affiliates in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company also transfers single-family properties or land to the joint ventures in the ordinary course of business and any gains or losses on transfers are included in gain on sale and impairment of single-family properties and other, net in the consolidated statements of operations.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company acquired 200 properties in a bulk transaction from the Institutional Investor JV for total consideration of $74.6 million, of which (i) $66.2 million was paid in cash and included in cash paid for single-family properties in the consolidated statements of cash flows and (ii) $8.4 million was recorded as a noncash distribution resulting in a reduction to our equity method investment. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition and resulted in a gain on sale at the Institutional Investor JV. Recognition of our pro rata portion of the gain on sale has been deferred by reducing the carrying value of the acquired properties in our consolidated balance sheets.

During the first quarter of 2022, J.P. Morgan JV I entered into a loan agreement to borrow up to a $375.0 million aggregate commitment. During the initial three-year term, the loan bore interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a 1.50% margin and had a maturity date of January 28, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, J.P. Morgan JV I’s loan had a $324.0 million outstanding principal balance. In January 2025, J.P. Morgan JV I amended its existing loan agreement to increase borrowing capacity
to $500.0 million. During the initial three-year term, the loan bears interest at SOFR plus a 1.50% margin and matures on January 24, 2028. The loan agreement provides for one one-year extension option that includes additional fees and interest.

During the second quarter of 2024, the Institutional Investor JV amended its existing loan agreement. During the three-year term, the loan, which has an aggregate commitment of $232.7 million, bears interest at SOFR plus a 1.90% margin and matures on July 1, 2027. As of December 31, 2024, the Institutional Investor JV’s loan had a $232.7 million outstanding principal balance.

The Company has provided customary non-recourse guarantees for the J.P. Morgan JV I and Institutional Investor JV loans that may become a liability for us upon a voluntary bankruptcy filing by the joint ventures or the occurrence of other actions such as fraud or a material misrepresentation by us or the joint ventures. To date, the guarantees have not been invoked, and we believe that the actions that would trigger a guarantee would generally be disadvantageous to the joint ventures and us and therefore are unlikely to occur. However, there can be no assurances that actions that could trigger the guarantee will not occur.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Operating Partnership paid off the $460.6 million outstanding principal on the AMH 2014-SFR2 securitization, which resulted in $1.0 million of charges related to legal fees and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs that are included in loss on early extinguishment of debt within the consolidated statements of operations. The payoff of the AMH 2014-SFR2 securitization also resulted in the release of the 4,516 homes pledged as collateral and $10.3 million of cash restricted for lender requirements. The Company received $25.7 million from the payoff for its investment in the AMH 2014-SFR2 Class F certificates that were issued by the Operating Partnership and acquired by the Company in 2014 as part of the AMH 2014-SFR2 securitization debt offering. See AMH 2014-SFR2 Securitization below and Note 13. Related Party Transactions.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company terminated its previous revolving credit facility, which resulted in $4.8 million of charges related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs that are included in loss on early extinguishment of debt within the consolidated statements of operations.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Operating Partnership paid off the $471.8 million outstanding principal on the AMH 2014-SFR3 securitization, which resulted in $0.5 million of charges related to legal fees and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs that are included in loss on early extinguishment of debt within the consolidated statements of operations. The payoff of the AMH 2014-SFR3 securitization also resulted in the release of the 4,541 homes pledged as collateral and $10.9 million of cash restricted for lender requirements.

Asset-backed Securitizations

The Company completed multiple asset-backed securitizations, all of which have certain general characteristics in common. The asset-backed securitization transactions resulted in newly-formed special purpose entities (the “Borrowers”), which entered into loans with third-party lenders. The Borrowers are each wholly owned by respective special purpose entities (the “Equity Owners”), which are wholly owned by the Operating Partnership. The loans were represented by promissory notes that were immediately transferred by the third-party lenders to subsidiaries of the Company and then to Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit (“REMIC”) trusts in
exchange for single-family rental pass-through certificates representing the beneficial ownership interests in the respective loans and trusts. Upon receipt of the certificates, the subsidiaries sold the certificates to investors. The principal amount of each class of certificates corresponds to the corresponding principal amount of the loan components with an additional class to hold the residual REMIC interest. The loans require monthly payments of interest together with principal payments representing one-twelfth of one percent of the original principal amount of the loans.

The loans are secured by first priority mortgages on pools of single-family residential properties transferred to the Borrowers from the Company’s portfolio of properties. The Borrowers’ homes were substantially similar to the other properties owned by the Company and were leased to tenants underwritten on substantially the same basis as the tenants in the Company’s other properties. During the duration of the loans, the Borrowers’ properties may not generally be transferred, sold or otherwise securitized and the Company can substitute properties if a property owned by the Borrowers becomes a disqualified property under the terms of the loan or voluntarily with properties eligible for substitution, in limited circumstances, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations provided in the loan agreements. The loans are also secured by a security interest in all of the Borrowers’ personal property and a pledge of all of the assets of the Equity Owners, including a security interest in their membership interests in the Borrowers. The Company provides a limited guaranty (i) for certain losses arising out of designated acts of intentional misconduct and (ii) for the principal amount of the loans and all other obligations under the loan agreements in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings.

The Company accounted for the transfers of the notes from its subsidiaries to the trusts as sales under ASC 860, Transfers and Servicing, with no resulting gain or loss as the notes were both originated by the third-party lenders and immediately transferred at the same fair market value. The Company also evaluated and did not identify any variable interests in the trusts. Accordingly, the Company consolidates, at historical cost basis, the homes placed as collateral for the notes, and the principal balances outstanding on the notes are included in asset-backed securitizations, net within the consolidated balance sheets.

The loan agreements provide that the Borrowers maintain covenants typical for securitization transactions including maintaining certain reserve accounts and a debt service coverage ratio of at least 1.20 to 1.00. The loan agreements define the debt service coverage ratio as of any determination date as a ratio in which the numerator is the net cash flow divided by the aggregate debt service for the 12-month period following the date of determination.

AMH 2014-SFR2 Securitization

The AMH 2014-SFR2 securitization completed during the third quarter of 2014 was a fixed-rate loan for $513.3 million with a 10-year term maturing on October 9, 2024 and had a duration-adjusted weighted-average interest rate of 4.42%. The loan was originally secured by first priority mortgages on a portfolio of 4,487 single-family residential properties. In addition to the single-family rental pass-through certificates sold to third parties, the Company had acquired all of the Class F certificates, which bore no interest, for $25.7 million. The Company evaluated the purchased Class F certificates as a variable interest in the trust and concluded that the Class F certificates would not absorb a majority of the trust’s expected losses or receive a majority of the trust’s expected residual returns. The Company also concluded that the Class F certificates did not provide the Company with an ability to direct activities that could have impacted the trust’s economic performance. The Company did not consolidate the trust and the $25.7 million of purchased Class F certificates were reflected as asset-backed securitization certificates in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and as amounts due from affiliates in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets. Gross proceeds to the Company from the transaction, after purchase of the Class F certificates, were $487.7 million before issuance costs of $12.9 million.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Operating Partnership paid off the AMH 2014-SFR2 securitization using available cash on hand. The Company received $25.7 million from the payoff for its investment in the Class F certificates. See Early Extinguishment of Debt above and Note 13. Related Party Transactions.

Revolving Credit Facility

During the second quarter of 2021, the Company amended and restated its previous revolving credit agreement with a $1.25 billion sustainability-linked revolving credit facility which was further amended during the second quarter of 2023 to transition from the LIBOR to the SOFR. The interest rate under the amended revolving credit facility was either the SOFR plus a 0.1% spread adjustment and a margin ranging from 0.725% to 1.45% or a base rate (determined according to the greater of a prime rate, federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the daily SOFR plus 1.1%) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.45%. In each case the actual margin was determined based on the Company’s credit ratings in effect from time to time. The amended revolving credit facility had a maturity date of April 15, 2025, with two six-month extension options at the Company’s election if certain conditions were met. In addition, the Company was required to pay a facility fee of an amount ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% of the aggregate amount of the revolving commitments, which fee is also based on the Company’s credit rating. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company terminated this revolving credit facility. See Early Extinguishment of Debt above.

During the third quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a new credit agreement with a $1.25 billion sustainability-linked revolving credit facility. The interest rate on the new revolving credit facility is at either a daily or Term SOFR plus a 0.10% spread adjustment and a margin ranging from 0.725% to 1.40% or a base rate (determined according to the greater of a prime rate, federal funds rate plus 0.5% or the daily SOFR plus 1.10%) plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.40%. In each case the actual margin is determined based on the Company’s credit ratings in effect from time to time. The new revolving credit facility matures on July 16, 2028, with two six-month extension options at the Company’s election if certain conditions are met. In addition, the Company is required to pay a facility fee of an amount ranging from 0.125% to 0.30% of the aggregate amount of the revolving commitments, which fee is also based on the Company’s credit rating.

Equity [Abstract]  
Shareholders' Equity / Partners' Capital Shareholders’ Equity / Partners’ Capital
When the Company issues common or preferred shares, the Operating Partnership issues an equivalent number of units of partnership interest of a corresponding class to AMH, with the Operating Partnership receiving the net proceeds from the share issuances.
Class A Common Shares / Units

Class A units represent voting equity interests in the Operating Partnership. Holders of Class A units in the Operating Partnership have the right to redeem the units for cash or, at the election of the Company, exchange the units for AMH’s Class A common shares on a one-for-one basis. AMH owned 87.8% and 87.7% of the total 421,000,048 and 416,308,486 Class A units outstanding as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2022, the Company completed an underwritten public offering for 23,000,000 of its Class A common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share, of which 10,000,000 shares were issued directly by the Company and 13,000,000 shares were offered on a forward basis at the request of the Company by the forward sellers. In connection with this offering, the Company entered into forward sale agreements with the forward purchasers (the “2022 Forward Sale Agreements”) for these 13,000,000 shares which were accounted for in equity. The Company received net proceeds of $375.8 million from the 10,000,000 Class A common shares issued directly by the Company after deducting underwriting fees and before offering costs of approximately $0.2 million. The Company did not initially receive proceeds from the sale of the Class A common shares offered on a forward basis. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company issued and physically settled 5,000,000 Class A common shares under the 2022 Forward Sale Agreements, receiving net proceeds of $185.6 million. During the first quarter of 2023, the Company issued and physically settled the remaining 8,000,000 Class A common shares under the 2022 Forward Sale Agreements, receiving net proceeds of $298.4 million.

At-the-Market Common Share Offering Program
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a new at-the-market common share offering program, replacing the previously expiring program, under which it can issue Class A common shares from time to time through various sales agents up to an aggregate gross sales offering price of $1.0 billion (the “2023 At-the-Market Program”). The 2023 At-the-Market Program also provides that we may enter into forward contracts for our Class A common shares with forward sellers and forward purchasers. The 2023 At-the-Market Program may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company issued zero Class A common shares under its previous program. During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company directly issued 932,746 and 2,799,683 Class A common shares under its 2023 At-the-Market Program, respectively, raising $33.7 million and $102.0 million in gross proceeds before commissions and other expenses of approximately $0.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively. Additionally, the Company entered into a forward sale agreement with the forward purchaser during the first quarter of 2024 (the “March 2024 Forward Sale Agreement”), which was accounted for in equity, to offer 2,987,024 Class A common shares on a forward basis under its 2023 At-the-Market Program at the request of the Company by the forward seller. The Company issued and physically settled the 2,987,024 Class A common shares during the fourth quarter of 2024, receiving gross proceeds of $110.6 million before commissions and other expenses of approximately $0.8 million and before offering costs of approximately $0.2 million. As of December 31, 2024, 6,719,453 shares have been issued under the 2023 At-the-Market Program and $753.7 million remained available for future issuances.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company’s board of trustees authorized the establishment of our share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of our outstanding Class A common shares and up to $250.0 million of our outstanding preferred shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The program does not have an expiration date, but may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. All repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an authorized and unissued status. The Operating Partnership funds the repurchases and constructively retires an equivalent number of corresponding Class A units. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we did not repurchase and retire any of our Class A common shares or preferred shares. As of December 31, 2024, we had a remaining repurchase authorization of up to $265.1 million of our outstanding Class A common shares and up to $250.0 million of our outstanding preferred shares under the program.

Class B Common Shares

Former American Homes 4 Rent, LLC (“AH LLC”) members received 635,075 Class B common shares in connection with their contributions of properties and funds to the Company. The Operating Partnership issued an equivalent number of corresponding Class A units to AMH in exchange for the proceeds and properties contributed in the transaction. Each Class B common share generally entitles the holder to 50 votes on all matters that the holders of Class A common shares are entitled to vote. The issuance of Class B common shares to former AH LLC members allows former AH LLC members a voting right associated with their investment in the
Company no greater than if they had solely received Class A common shares. Additionally, when the voting interest from Class A common shares and Class B common shares are added together, a shareholder is limited to a 30% total voting interest. Each Class B common share has the same economic interest as a Class A common share.

Perpetual Preferred Shares / Units

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had the following series of perpetual preferred shares outstanding (amounts in thousands, except share data):

Total preferred shares9,200,000 $230,000 9,200,000 $230,000 

Perpetual preferred shares represent non-voting preferred equity interests in the Company and entitle holders to a cumulative annual cash dividend, based on the respective dividend rate in the table above, which is applied to the liquidation preference at issuance of $25.00 per share. The Operating Partnership issues an equivalent number of corresponding perpetual preferred units for the given class to AMH in exchange for the net proceeds from the share issuances. The Company may, at its option, redeem the perpetual preferred shares for cash, in whole or in part, from time to time, at any time on or after the earliest redemption date shown in the table above or within 120 days after the occurrence of a change in control at a redemption price equal to the $25.00 per share liquidation preference, plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends.

During the second quarter of 2022, the Company redeemed all 6,200,000 shares of the outstanding 5.875% Series F perpetual preferred shares, $0.01 par value per share, for cash at the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share plus any accrued and unpaid dividends in accordance with the terms of such shares. The Operating Partnership also redeemed its corresponding Series F perpetual preferred units. As a result of the redemption, the Company recorded a $5.3 million allocation of income to the Series F perpetual preferred shareholders within the consolidated statements of operations during the year ended December 31, 2022, which represents the initial liquidation value of the Series F perpetual preferred shares in excess of its carrying value as of the redemption date.

As a REIT, we generally are required to distribute annually to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and any net capital gains) and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and including any net capital gains). The Operating Partnership funds the payment of distributions. We historically used our NOL for U.S. federal income tax purposes to reduce our REIT taxable income and have substantially utilized our NOL as of December 31, 2023.

No distributions can be paid on our Class A and Class B common shares unless we have first paid all cumulative distributions on our Series G and Series H perpetual preferred shares. The distribution preference of our Series G and Series H perpetual preferred shares could limit our ability to make distributions to the holders of our Class A and Class B common shares.
The Company’s board of trustees declared the following distributions during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. The Operating Partnership funds the payment of distributions, and the board of trustees declared an equivalent amount of distributions on the corresponding OP units.

Noncontrolling Interest

Noncontrolling interest as reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets primarily consists of the interests held by former AH LLC members in units in the Operating Partnership. Former AH LLC members owned 50,779,990, or approximately 12.1% and 12.2%, of the total 421,000,048 and 416,308,486 Class A units in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Noncontrolling interest also includes interests held by non-affiliates in Class A units in the Operating Partnership. Non-affiliate Class A unitholders owned 596,990, or approximately 0.1%, of the total 421,000,048 and 416,308,486 Class A units in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The OP units owned by former AH LLC members and non-affiliates are reflected as noncontrolling interest in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and limited partner capital in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets.

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

In 2021, the Company’s shareholders approved and the Company adopted the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2021 Plan”). The 2021 Plan replaced the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) and provides for the issuance of up to 9,544,095 Class A common shares (including shares that remained available for future awards under the 2012 Plan as of the effective date of the 2021 Plan and shares related to outstanding awards under the 2012 Plan that may become available after expiration, forfeiture or cancellation of such awards). The 2021 Plan provides for the issuance of Class A common shares through the grant of a variety of awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights, RSUs, unrestricted shares, dividend equivalent rights and performance-based awards. The 2021 Plan terminates in May 2031, unless terminated earlier by the Company’s board of trustees. When the Company issues Class A common shares under the 2012 Plan and 2021 Plan, the Operating Partnership issues an equivalent number of Class A units to AMH.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, employees were granted RSUs that generally vest over a three-year service period and non-management trustees were granted RSUs that vest over a one-year service period. Options expire 10 years from the date of grant.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company announced that David Singelyn, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, would retire effective December 31, 2024. In connection with Mr. Singelyn’s retirement, the Company and Mr. Singelyn entered into a Retirement and Award Agreement (the “Retirement Agreement”), which became effective February 21, 2024, pursuant to which Mr. Singelyn agreed to provide transition advisory services from his retirement until June 30, 2025 and the Company granted him 46,070 RSUs on February 21, 2024 which cliff vest on June 30, 2025 upon satisfaction of certain vesting conditions, including performance of his obligations under the Retirement Agreement. In addition, the Company granted Chris Lau, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, 143,968 RSUs on February 21, 2024, which cliff vest five years from the date of grant in connection with his appointment to the elevated role of Senior Executive Vice President.

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, certain senior employees were granted PSUs that cliff vest at the end of a three-year service period based on satisfaction of performance conditions. The performance conditions of the PSUs are measured over the three-year performance period from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2026 for PSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2024, January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2025 for PSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2023 and January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024 for PSUs granted during the year ended December 31, 2022. A portion of the PSUs are
based on (i) the achievement of relative total shareholder return compared to a specified peer group (the “TSR Awards”), and a portion are based on (ii) average annual growth in core funds from operations per share (the “Core FFO Awards”). The number of PSUs that may ultimately vest range from zero to 200% of the number of PSUs granted based on the level of achievement of these performance conditions. For the TSR Awards, grant date fair value was determined using a multifactor Monte Carlo model and the resulting compensation cost is amortized over the service period regardless of whether the performance condition is achieved. For the Core FFO Awards, fair value is based on the market value on the date of grant and compensation cost is recognized based on the probable achievement of the performance condition at each reporting period.

The 2012 Plan and 2021 Plan allow for continued release of awards based on the original vesting schedule, rather than forfeiture, of unvested share-based grants upon termination of service for employees who meet certain retirement eligibility criteria, including age and years of service. Retirement eligible employees must also provide a notice of intent to retire at least six months prior to retirement date and the HCC Committee must approve the continued release of awards.

2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The 2021 ESPP provides for the issuance of up to 3,000,000 Class A common shares and allows employees to acquire the Company’s Class A common shares through payroll deductions, subject to maximum purchase limitations, during six-month purchase periods. The purchase price for Class A common shares may be set at a maximum discount equal to 85% of the lower of the closing price of the Company’s Class A common shares on the first day or the last day of the applicable purchase period. The 2021 ESPP terminates in June 2031 or the date on which there are no longer any Class A common shares available for issuance. When the Company issues Class A common shares under the 2021 ESPP, the Operating Partnership issues an equivalent number of Class A units to AMH.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The Company’s noncash share-based compensation expense relating to corporate administrative employees is included in general and administrative expense and the noncash share-based compensation expense relating to centralized and field property management employees is included in property management expenses. Noncash share-based compensation expense relating to employees involved in the purchases of single-family properties, including newly constructed properties from third-party builders, the development of single-family properties, or the disposal of certain properties or portfolios of properties is included in acquisition and other transaction costs.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value Fair Value
The carrying amount of rents and other receivables, restricted cash, escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets, and accounts payable and accrued expenses generally approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these amounts.

Our notes receivable are financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as their fair values were estimated using unobservable inputs. We estimated the fair values of the notes receivable by modeling the expected contractual cash flows required under the instruments and discounting them back to their present values using estimates of current market rates. As the estimated current market rates were not substantially different from the discount rates originally applied, the carrying amount of notes receivable, net approximates fair value.

Our asset-backed securitizations and revolving credit facility are financial instruments classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as their fair values were estimated using unobservable inputs. We estimated the fair values of the asset-backed securitizations by modeling the contractual cash flows required under the instruments and discounting them back to their present values using estimates of current market rates. As our revolving credit facility bears interest at a floating rate based on an index plus a spread (see Note 7. Debt), management believes that the carrying value (excluding deferred financing costs) of the revolving credit facility reasonably approximates fair value. Our unsecured senior notes are financial instruments classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as their fair values were estimated using observable inputs based on the market value of the last trade at the end of the period.

During the third quarter of 2024, in anticipation of a potential debt issuance and in order to hedge interest rate risk, the Company entered into two treasury lock agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million based on the 10-year treasury note rates at the time. The treasury locks were designated as cash flow hedging instruments. The Company settled the treasury locks during the fourth quarter of 2024 in connection with the pricing of the 2035 Notes (see Note 7. Debt), which resulted in an aggregate gain of $8.6 million recorded in other comprehensive income at the time that will be reclassified into earnings as a reduction of interest expense over the 10-year term of the 2035 Notes. The treasury locks were the only financial instruments recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated financial statements and were classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy as their fair values were estimated using observable inputs based on the 10-year treasury note rate.

401(k) Retirement Savings Plan

We have a retirement savings plan pursuant to Section 401(k) of the Code whereby our employees may contribute a portion of their compensation to their respective retirement accounts in an amount not to exceed the maximum allowed under the Code. In addition to employee contributions, we have elected to provide company contributions (subject to statutory limitations), which amounted to approximately $3.8 million, $3.6 million and $3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Captive Insurance Company

The Company has a wholly owned captive insurance company, American Dream Insurance, LLC, which provides general liability insurance coverage for losses below the deductible under the Company’s third-party liability insurance policy. The Company created American Dream Insurance, LLC as part of its overall risk management program and to stabilize its insurance costs, manage exposure and recoup expenses through the functions of the captive program. The captive insurance company’s impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements is immaterial.

Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company is organized as a REIT with activities related to acquiring, renovating, developing, leasing and managing single-family homes as rental properties in one geographically diversified portfolio, which represents our one operating and reportable segment. Our one reportable segment derives its revenues from leasing single-family homes to tenants under non-cancelable lease agreements generally with a term of one year as well as certain fees charged to tenants. The Company’s CODM is our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer.

The accounting policies of our one reportable segment are the same as those described in Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies. Net income and its components, as presented on the consolidated statements of operations, are metrics utilized by the CODM to assess the reporting segment’s performance and allocate resources. The measure of segment assets is reported on the consolidated balance sheets as total assets.

The CODM also reviews core net operating income (“Core NOI”) at the total portfolio level as an additional segment profitability measure. The CODM uses the segment profitability measures to evaluate income generated from total portfolio assets in deciding whether to reinvest profits into enhancing the existing portfolio or for acquisitions or development of new properties. Property acquisition and disposition decisions are made at the individual property level and development decisions are made at the community level. Core NOI for the total portfolio is also used to monitor budget versus actual results and in competitive analysis to benchmark against the Company’s competitors. The competitive analysis along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results are used in assessing performance of the segment and in establishing management’s compensation.

In addition to the revenues and significant segment expenses included within the consolidated statements of operations, the following table presents significant segment expenses regularly provided to the CODM within property operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]
We believe that having a strong cybersecurity program, including robust risk management and oversight procedures, is critical to our business success. Our cybersecurity program includes written policies and standards that follow the guidance of well-recognized industry cybersecurity frameworks.
Management and Board Oversight

We have a dedicated cybersecurity team led by our Vice President of Information Security (“CISO”), who reports on cybersecurity directly to our Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”), who reports to our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Our CISO has significant experience in cybersecurity and IT compliance, is a member of InfraGard, a national non-profit organization serving as a public-partnership between U.S. businesses and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and is a member of the Cal Poly Pomona Cyber Security Advisory Council. He has also obtained the following certifications: Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP), and Certified Chief Information Security Professional (CCISO). Our CTO has over two decades of experience in establishing, administering, and enhancing effective cybersecurity programs for multiple publicly-traded companies. Our CTO and CISO conduct quarterly cybersecurity reviews for our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), CFO, and Chief Legal Officer (“CLO”).

In the event of an incident which jeopardizes the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the information technology systems we use, including systems provided by third party service providers, we utilize a regularly updated incident response plan that was developed taking into account a recognized third-party cybersecurity framework. Pursuant to that plan and its escalation protocols, designated personnel are responsible for assessing the severity of the incident and associated threat, containing the threat, remediating the threat, including recovery of data and access to systems, analyzing the reporting and disclosure obligations associated with the incident, and performing post-incident analysis and program improvements. While the particular personnel assigned to an incident response team will depend on the particular facts and circumstances, the team is generally led by the CISO or another member of the dedicated cybersecurity team, and will include other information technology and legal personnel. The incident response team regularly reports to senior management, including the CEO, CFO, COO and CLO in the event of a potentially significant cybersecurity incident. The CISO or another member of the incident response team also reports to the Company’s Disclosure Committee, which makes determinations regarding SEC reporting obligations related to the cybersecurity incident and consists of senior officers in the operations, finance, and legal functions. The Disclosure Committee also consults with the chair of the Audit Committee of the board of trustees in making determinations regarding applicable SEC reporting requirements.

The board of trustees considers cybersecurity as part of its broader consideration of business strategy and enterprise risk management. Our board of trustees has delegated to the Audit Committee the responsibility of overseeing the Company’s risk management program, including the cybersecurity program. The Audit Committee, which consists solely of independent trustees and whose chair has information security experience, receives quarterly updates with respect to the cybersecurity program. As part of its oversight, the Audit Committee may, for example, receive updates regarding assessments of our alignment with certain industry cybersecurity frameworks, our cybersecurity insurance coverage, cybersecurity-related internal controls, cybersecurity training provided to company personnel, results of penetration testing, and revisions to the incident response plan and business continuity plan. The Audit Committee provides regular briefings to the full board of trustees with respect to the Company’s cybersecurity program. Additionally, we provide an annual update on the cybersecurity program to the full board of trustees, which has included our CTO and third-party cybersecurity experts in recent years.

As part of our board refreshment efforts in recent years we have focused on adding trustees with cybersecurity risk management experience. Currently four members of our board of trustees have information security experience.

Processes for Assessing, Identifying and Managing Material Risks from Cybersecurity Threats

Our cybersecurity program has four components: (1) prevention and preparation, (2) detection and analysis, (3) containment, eradication, recovery, and reporting, and (4) post-incident analysis and program enhancements.

Prevention and Preparation

We undertake regular internal and external security audits and vulnerability assessments to reduce the risk of a cybersecurity incident and we implement business continuity, contingency and recovery plans to mitigate the impact of an incident. As part of these efforts, we engage a third-party to conduct an external review of our vulnerabilities at least annually. We continue to strengthen our authentication mechanisms including broad adoption of multi-factor authentication and geolocation-based blocking. To support our preparedness, we perform a tabletop exercise at least once a year to test our incident response procedures.

We recognize that threat actors frequently target employees to gain unauthorized access to information systems. Therefore, a key element of our prevention efforts is training employees on our data privacy and cyber security procedures. For example, new hires receive mandatory privacy and information security training. In addition, current employees must complete mandatory annual cybersecurity and data trainings, which are supplemented by regular phishing and other cyber-related awareness activities that we conduct throughout the year.
We also recognize that third-parties that provide information systems we use can be subject to cybersecurity incidents that could impact us. To mitigate third party risk, we maintain a Vendor Integrity Code, which is designed to require our third-party vendors to comply with our requirements for maintenance of passwords, as well as other confidentiality, security, and privacy procedures. Third-party IT vendors determined to present a higher risk are also subject to additional diligence such as questionnaires, inquiries, and review of System and Organization Controls (SOC) 1 and 2 reports, when relevant.

Detection and Analysis

We have implemented controls aligned with industry guidelines and applicable statutes and regulations to identify threats, detect attacks and protect the integrity of our information assets. Our cybersecurity team, with the assistance of an outside cybersecurity firm, continuously monitors for threats to keep our systems secure. Cybersecurity incidents may also be detected through a variety of means, which may include, but are not limited to, employee notification to our IT service center, notification from external parties (e.g., customers, vendors, or service providers), and automated event-detection notifications. Once a potential cybersecurity incident is identified, including a third-party cybersecurity event, the incident response team designated pursuant to the incident response plan follows the procedures set forth in the plan to investigate the potential incident, including classifying the nature and severity of the event. Potentially significant cybersecurity incidents are escalated to the Disclosure Committee, which makes determinations regarding SEC reporting obligations related to the cybersecurity incident.

Containment, Eradication, Recovery, and Reporting

The incident response team executes our incident response plan to respond to the cybersecurity incident and coordinate resources and communication protocols.

The incident response team also directs and coordinates eradication and recovery efforts. Eradication and recovery activities depend on the nature of the cybersecurity incident and may include rebuilding systems and/or hosts, replacing compromised files with clean versions or validation of files or data that may have been affected. We have also retained an outside cybersecurity firm which would assist with containment, eradication, and recovery efforts, as needed.

Further, the Company also maintains cyber risk insurance to provide some coverage for certain risks arising out of data and network breaches, and the Audit Committee annually reviews such coverage.

The Company’s incident response plan provides clear communication protocols, including with respect to members of senior management, which may include, depending on the incident’s classification and other circumstances, the CEO, CFO, COO and CLO, the Audit Committee, the Disclosure Committee, and internal and external counsel. In addition, the incident response plan considers communications and reporting to tenants, regulators and law enforcement.

Post-Incident Activity

After recovery, the Company performs a review of the incident to identify potential enhancements to the cybersecurity program that can mitigate the risk or severity of future incidents. The results of these reviews are shared with management and the Audit Committee.

Cybersecurity Risks

As of December 31, 2024, we have not had any known instances of material cybersecurity incidents. However, there can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security incidents or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. In addition, although the Company maintains cyber risk insurance to provide some coverage for certain risks arising out of data and network breaches, there can be no assurance that our cyber risk insurance coverage will be sufficient in the event of a cyber-attack. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to our Business—If our confidential information is compromised or corrupted, including as a result of a cybersecurity incident, our business operations and reputation could be damaged, which could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.”

Management and Board Oversight

We have a dedicated cybersecurity team led by our Vice President of Information Security (“CISO”), who reports on cybersecurity directly to our Chief Technology Officer (“CTO”), who reports to our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”). Our CISO has significant experience in cybersecurity and IT compliance, is a member of InfraGard, a national non-profit organization serving as a public-partnership between U.S. businesses and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and is a member of the Cal Poly Pomona Cyber Security Advisory Council. He has also obtained the following certifications: Certified Information Systems Security Professional (CISSP), Certified Information Systems Auditor (CISA), Certified Cloud Security Professional (CCSP), and Certified Chief Information Security Professional (CCISO). Our CTO has over two decades of experience in establishing, administering, and enhancing effective cybersecurity programs for multiple publicly-traded companies. Our CTO and CISO conduct quarterly cybersecurity reviews for our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), CFO, and Chief Legal Officer (“CLO”).

In the event of an incident which jeopardizes the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the information technology systems we use, including systems provided by third party service providers, we utilize a regularly updated incident response plan that was developed taking into account a recognized third-party cybersecurity framework. Pursuant to that plan and its escalation protocols, designated personnel are responsible for assessing the severity of the incident and associated threat, containing the threat, remediating the threat, including recovery of data and access to systems, analyzing the reporting and disclosure obligations associated with the incident, and performing post-incident analysis and program improvements. While the particular personnel assigned to an incident response team will depend on the particular facts and circumstances, the team is generally led by the CISO or another member of the dedicated cybersecurity team, and will include other information technology and legal personnel. The incident response team regularly reports to senior management, including the CEO, CFO, COO and CLO in the event of a potentially significant cybersecurity incident. The CISO or another member of the incident response team also reports to the Company’s Disclosure Committee, which makes determinations regarding SEC reporting obligations related to the cybersecurity incident and consists of senior officers in the operations, finance, and legal functions. The Disclosure Committee also consults with the chair of the Audit Committee of the board of trustees in making determinations regarding applicable SEC reporting requirements.

The board of trustees considers cybersecurity as part of its broader consideration of business strategy and enterprise risk management. Our board of trustees has delegated to the Audit Committee the responsibility of overseeing the Company’s risk management program, including the cybersecurity program. The Audit Committee, which consists solely of independent trustees and whose chair has information security experience, receives quarterly updates with respect to the cybersecurity program. As part of its oversight, the Audit Committee may, for example, receive updates regarding assessments of our alignment with certain industry cybersecurity frameworks, our cybersecurity insurance coverage, cybersecurity-related internal controls, cybersecurity training provided to company personnel, results of penetration testing, and revisions to the incident response plan and business continuity plan. The Audit Committee provides regular briefings to the full board of trustees with respect to the Company’s cybersecurity program. Additionally, we provide an annual update on the cybersecurity program to the full board of trustees, which has included our CTO and third-party cybersecurity experts in recent years.

As part of our board refreshment efforts in recent years we have focused on adding trustees with cybersecurity risk management experience. Currently four members of our board of trustees have information security experience.

Processes for Assessing, Identifying and Managing Material Risks from Cybersecurity Threats

Our cybersecurity program has four components: (1) prevention and preparation, (2) detection and analysis, (3) containment, eradication, recovery, and reporting, and (4) post-incident analysis and program enhancements.

Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Any references in this report to the number of properties is outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s audit of our financial statements, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements have been made.

In Note 4. Rent and Other Receivables, the Company reclassified certain immaterial tenant charge-backs from variable lease payments to fixed lease payments for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and certain immaterial fees from single-family properties from variable lease payments to fixed lease payments for the year ended December 31, 2023 to conform with the current year presentation.
Principles of Consolidation
Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements present the accounts of both (i) the Company, which include AMH, the Operating Partnership and their consolidated subsidiaries, and (ii) the Operating Partnership, which include the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The Company consolidates real estate partnerships and other entities that are not variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), when it owns, directly or indirectly, a majority interest in the entity or is otherwise able to control the entity. Entities that are not VIEs and for which the Company owns an interest and has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not control are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. See Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures below for a further discussion of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

The Company consolidates VIEs in accordance with ASC 810 if it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE as determined by its power to direct the VIE’s activities and the obligation to absorb its losses or the right to receive its benefits, which are potentially significant to the VIE.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company entered into real estate exchange transactions in accordance with Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in order to defer taxable gains on the exchange of like-kind property (“1031 Exchange”). Our 1031 Exchange transactions are facilitated by a qualified intermediary (the “QI”), which holds the proceeds from the Company’s disposition of real properties until such transactions are complete. The QI established a special purpose entity, which was determined to be a VIE (the “1031 VIE”), to hold the disposition proceeds in an escrow account and the 1031 VIE must use the proceeds to acquire replacement real property for the Company in a manner consistent with the requirements of Section 1031 of the Code. To the extent the proceeds are not used to acquire replacement real property, the 1031 VIE pays the proceeds to the Company. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the 1031 VIE as it retains essentially all economic benefits related to the 1031 VIE and directs the activities that most significantly impact the 1031 VIE’s economic performance and therefore the 1031 VIE and the related disposition proceeds are consolidated within the consolidated financial statements.

The Company also holds investments in venture capital funds and deposits with land banking entities that we determined are VIEs. As the Company does not control the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these entities, the Company was deemed not to be the primary beneficiary and therefore did not consolidate the entities. See Investments in Venture Capital Funds and Land Option Contracts below for further discussion.
Use of Estimates
Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes
Income Taxes

AMH has elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes under Sections 856 to 860 of the Code, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2012. We believe that we have operated, and continue to operate, in such a manner as to satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT. Provided that we qualify as a REIT and our distributions to our shareholders equal or exceed our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and including any net capital gains), we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax.

Qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon our ability to meet the various qualification tests imposed under the Code, including tests related to the percentage of income that we earn from specified sources and the percentage of our earnings that we distribute to our shareholders. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that we will continue to be organized or be able to operate in a manner so as to remain qualified as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year and do not qualify for certain statutory relief provisions, we would be subject to U.S. federal income tax and state income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate tax rates, and we would likely be precluded from qualifying for treatment as a REIT until the fifth calendar year following the year in which we fail to qualify.

Even if we qualify as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state or local income and capital taxes and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed REIT taxable income, if any. Certain of our subsidiaries are subject to taxation by U.S. federal, state and local authorities for the periods presented. We made joint elections to treat certain subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries which are
subject to U.S. federal, state and local taxes on their income at regular corporate rates. The tax years from 2020 to present generally remain open to examination by the taxing jurisdictions to which the Company is subject.

We believe that our Operating Partnership is properly treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Operating Partnership is not subject to U.S. federal income tax on our income. Instead, each of the Operating Partnership’s partners, including AMH, is allocated, and may be required to pay tax with respect to, its share of the Operating Partnership’s income. As such, no provision for U.S. federal income taxes has been included for the Operating Partnership.

ASC 740-10, Income Taxes, requires recognition of deferred tax assets for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. We recognize tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained, based solely on its technical merits, with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. The measurement of a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that meets the more likely than not threshold is based on a cumulative probability model under which the largest amount of tax benefit recognized is the amount with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. As of December 31, 2024, there were no deferred tax assets and liabilities or unrecognized tax benefits recorded by the Company. We do not anticipate a significant change in unrecognized tax benefits within the next 12 months.

As a REIT, we generally are required to distribute annually to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and any net capital gains) and to pay tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we annually distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and including any net capital gains). The Operating Partnership funds the payment of distributions. We historically used our net operating loss (“NOL”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes to reduce our REIT taxable income and have substantially utilized our NOL as of December 31, 2023.
Investments in Real Estate
Investments in Real Estate

Purchases of single-family properties are treated as asset acquisitions and, as such, are recorded at their purchase price, including acquisition costs, which is allocated to land and building based upon their relative fair values at the date of acquisition. Fair value is determined in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, and is primarily based on unobservable data inputs. In making estimates of fair values for purposes of allocating the total purchase price to individual homes in a portfolio acquisition and allocating the individual purchase price of a home to the acquired components, the Company utilizes its own market knowledge obtained from historical transactions, its internal construction program (the “AMH Development Program”) and published market data. In this regard, the Company also utilizes information obtained from county tax assessment records to assist in the determination of the fair value of the land and building. Typically, we allocate between 10% to 30% of the purchase price of properties to land. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company purchased 1,724 single-family properties treated as asset acquisitions for accounting purposes for a total purchase price of $495.9 million, net of holding costs, which was included in cash paid for single-family properties within the consolidated statement of cash flows.

The nature of our business requires that in certain circumstances we acquire single-family properties subject to existing liens. Liens that we expect to be extinguished in cash are estimated and accrued for on the date of acquisition and recorded as a cost of the property.
We incur costs to prepare properties acquired through our traditional acquisition channels for rental. These costs, along with related holding costs, are capitalized to the cost of the property during the period the property is undergoing activities to prepare it for its intended use. We capitalize interest costs as a cost of the property only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided that expenditures for the asset have been made and interest costs have been incurred. Upon completion of the renovation of our properties, all costs of operations, including repairs and maintenance, are expensed as incurred.
Single-Family Properties Under Development and Development Land
Single-Family Properties Under Development and Development Land

Land and construction in progress for our AMH Development Program are presented separately in single-family properties under development and development land within the consolidated balance sheets. Our capitalization policy on development properties
follows the guidance in ASC 835-20, Capitalization of Interest, and ASC 970, Real Estate-General. Costs directly related to the development of properties are capitalized and the costs of land and buildings under development include specifically identifiable costs. We also capitalize interest, real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, and payroll costs for land and construction in progress under active development once the applicable GAAP criteria have been met.
Single-family Properties Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations
Single-Family Properties and Land Held for Sale
Single-family properties and land lots are classified as held for sale when they meet the applicable GAAP criteria in accordance with ASC 360-10, Property, Plant, and Equipment—Overall, including, but not limited to, the availability of the property for immediate sale in its present condition, the existence of an active program to locate a buyer and the probable sale of the property within one year. Single-family properties and land lots classified as held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or estimated fair value less costs to sell, and are presented separately in single-family properties and land held for sale, net within the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had 805 and 862 single-family properties, respectively, classified as held for sale, and recorded $9.2 million, $1.9 million and $2.5 million of impairment on single-family properties and land held for sale for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, which is included in gain on sale and impairment of single-family properties and other, net within the consolidated statements of operations. The results of operations of properties that have either been sold or classified as held for sale, if due to a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations or financial results, are reported in the consolidated statements of operations as discontinued operations for both current and prior periods presented through the date of the applicable disposition in accordance with ASC 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements—Discontinued Operations.
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
We evaluate our long-lived assets for impairment periodically or whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amount may not be recoverable. Significant indicators of impairment may include, but are not limited to, sustained losses, declines in home values, rental rates and occupancy percentages, as well as significant changes in the economy. If an impairment indicator exists, we compare the expected future undiscounted cash flows against the net carrying amount. If the sum of the estimated undiscounted cash flows is less than the net carrying amount, we record an impairment loss for the difference between the estimated fair value of the individual property and the carrying amount of the property at that date.
Land Option Contracts
Land Option Contracts

We enter into land option contracts to acquire the right to purchase land for our AMH Development Program. Under these contracts, we typically make a specified option payment or deposit in consideration for the right to purchase land in the future, usually at a predetermined price. We analyze these land option contracts under the variable interest model to determine whether the land seller is a VIE and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Although the Company does not have legal title to the underlying land, we may be required to consolidate the related VIE if we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Deposits with land banking entities determined to be VIEs but not consolidated because we are not the primary beneficiary are at held at cost and included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying value of these deposits and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss was $6.9 million and $15.7 million, respectively.

We also consider whether the land option contracts should be accounted for as financing arrangements when the land banking entity is not consolidated under the variable interest model, as may be required if the land banking entity or other third-party acquires specific land parcels directly from us, on our behalf or at our direction or where we make improvements to the underlying land during the option period. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into land option agreements whereby it sold land to a third party with an option to repurchase finished lots on a predetermined schedule. Because of our options to repurchase the finished lots, in accordance with ASC 606-10-55-70, we accounted for these transactions as financing arrangements rather than a sale. Consolidated land not owned is included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets and the liability for consolidated land not owned, which represents proceeds received from the third party net of our deposits on the optioned land, is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets (see Note 5. Escrow Deposits, Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets and Note 8. Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses). Improvements made to the land under the related development agreements prior to exercising the options to repurchase the finished lots are capitalized to consolidated land not owned and reimbursement proceeds from the land banking entity are accreted to liability for consolidated land not owned in the consolidated balance sheets. If
the option to repurchase finished lots is exercised, the Company reclassifies the associated consolidated land not owned to single-family properties and reduces its liability for consolidated land not owned accordingly.
Commercial Office Leases
Commercial Office Leases

We lease commercial office space from third parties for use in our corporate and property management operations. Commercial office leases are accounted for as operating leases in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, which requires us to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets for the rights and obligations created from these leases. Operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of future minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. As the implicit rate is generally not determinable, the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are measured using our incremental borrowing rate based on the estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing over a similar term of the lease payments at commencement date. The expected lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term in general and administrative expense within the consolidated statements of operations.
We elected the short-term lease measurement and recognition exemption and do not establish right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for operating leases with terms of twelve months or less. We also elected the practical expedient allowing us to avoid separating non-lease components from the associated lease component for our commercial office leases. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are presented in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively, within the consolidated balance sheets.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of buildings, improvements and other assets. Buildings are depreciated over 30 years and improvements and other assets are depreciated over their estimated economic useful lives, generally three to 30 years.
Intangible Assets
Intangible Assets
Finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. The Company reviews finite-lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. If the sum of the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of an asset is less than its net book value, an impairment loss is recognized. Measurement of an impairment loss is based on the fair value of an asset.
Goodwill
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the fair value in excess of the tangible and separately identifiable intangible assets that were acquired in connection with the internalization of the Company’s management function in June 2013, including all administrative, financial, property management, marketing and leasing personnel, including executive management. Goodwill has an indefinite life and is therefore not amortized. The Company analyzes goodwill for impairment on an annual basis pursuant to ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, which permits us to assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying amount as a basis to determine whether an impairment test is necessary. This qualitative assessment requires judgment to be applied in evaluating the effects of multiple factors, including macroeconomic conditions, industry and market conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance, other relevant entity-specific events, events affecting the reporting unit, and whether or not there has been a sustained decrease in the Company’s stock price. We also have the option to bypass the qualitative assessment for any reporting unit in any period and proceed directly to performing the goodwill impairment test. The impairment test compares the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the impairment loss is determined as the excess of the carrying amount of the goodwill reporting unit over the fair value of that goodwill, not to exceed the carrying amount. Impairment charges, if any, are recognized in operating results.
Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred Financing Costs

Financing costs related to the origination of the Company’s debt instruments are deferred and amortized as interest expense under the effective interest method over the contractual term of the applicable financing. Financing costs related to the origination of the Company’s revolving credit facility are presented net of accumulated amortization and included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. Financing costs related to the origination of the Company’s unsecured senior notes and asset-backed securitizations are presented net of accumulated amortization and are netted against the related debt instrument under liabilities within the consolidated balance sheets.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

We consider all demand deposits, cashier’s checks, money market accounts and certificates of deposit with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits at financial institutions. The combined account balances typically exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insurance coverage, and, as a result, there is a concentration of credit risk related to amounts on deposit. We believe that the risk is not significant.
Restricted cash primarily consists of funds held related to resident security deposits, cash reserves in accordance with certain loan agreements, funds held in the custody of our transfer agent for the payment of distributions and certain funds held for the purpose of facilitating 1031 Exchange transactions. Funds held related to resident security deposits are restricted during the term of the related lease agreement, which is generally one year. Cash reserved in connection with lender requirements is restricted during the term of the related debt instrument.
Escrow Deposits
Escrow Deposits

Escrow deposits include refundable and non-refundable cash earnest money deposits for the purchase of properties and deposits related to land option contracts (see Land Option Contracts above). In addition, escrow deposits include amounts paid for single-family properties in certain states which require a judicial order when the risks and rewards of ownership of the property are transferred and the purchase is finalized.
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and Investments in Venture Capital Funds
Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are recorded initially at cost, and subsequently adjusted for equity in earnings and cash contributions and distributions. Under the equity method of accounting, our net equity investment is included in investments in unconsolidated joint ventures within the consolidated balance sheets, and our share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is included within other income and expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. Our recognition of joint venture income or loss is generally based on ownership percentages, which may change upon the achievement of certain investment return thresholds. The ultimate realization of the investment in unconsolidated joint ventures is dependent on a number of factors, including the performance of each investment and market conditions. We classify distributions received from our unconsolidated joint ventures using the “cumulative earnings” approach, under which distributions up to the amount of cumulative equity in earnings recognized will be classified as cash inflows from operating activities, and those in excess of that amount will be classified as cash inflows from investing activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows.

Our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are reviewed for impairment periodically and we will record an impairment charge when events or circumstances change indicating that a decline in the fair values below the carrying values has occurred and such decline is other-than-temporary.
Investments in Venture Capital Funds
Investments in venture capital funds are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. We record our proportionate shares of net income or loss resulting from these investments within other income and expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations. As discussed in Principles of Consolidation above, we determined the venture capital funds to be VIEs for which we are not the primary beneficiary.
Investments in Equity Securities
Investments in Equity Securities
Our investments in equity securities, which are included in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets, do not have readily determinable fair values. The Company elected the measurement alternative for its investments in these equity securities and measures these investments at cost less impairment, if any, and adjusted for changes resulting from observable price changes for identical or similar investments in the same issuer.
Notes Receivable, Net
Notes Receivable, Net

The Company obtained promissory notes in connection with two bulk dispositions of our single-family properties. The promissory note obtained during the second quarter of 2019 was paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2022 and the promissory note obtained during the first quarter of 2017 matured in the first quarter of 2022 and is still being actively collected. The promissory notes are secured by first priority mortgages on the disposed homes, contain certain covenants and require monthly or quarterly interest payments with the full principal due at maturity.

Notes receivable are presented net of discounts in escrow deposits, prepaid expenses and other assets within the consolidated balance sheets. Interest income from the notes, including amortization of discounts, is presented in other income and expense, net within the consolidated statements of operations. We are required to estimate and recognize lifetime expected losses on these notes receivable in accordance with ASC 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses. Notes receivable are also presented net of the allowance for expected credit losses, which the Company estimates on a quarterly basis based on (i) credit quality indicators such as the borrower’s historical performance, including the borrower’s financial results and satisfaction of scheduled payments, (ii) current conditions, including macroeconomic conditions and other conditions affecting the borrower, and (iii) other reasonable and supportable forecasts about the future. As part of the monitoring process, we may meet with a borrower’s management to better understand such borrower’s financial performance and its future plans on an as-needed basis. A note receivable will be categorized as non-performing if a borrower experiences financial difficulty and has failed to make scheduled payments. Changes to the allowance for expected credit losses are recognized in other income and expense, net within the consolidated statements of operations.
Leases, Revenue and Expense Recognition and Leasing Costs
Revenue and Expense Recognition

We lease single-family properties that we own directly to tenants who occupy the properties under operating leases, generally, with a term of one year. In accordance with ASC 842, Leases, the Company classifies our single-family property leases as operating leases and elects to not separate the lease component, comprised of rents from single-family properties, from the associated non-lease component, comprised of fees from single-family properties and tenant charge-backs. The combined component is accounted for under ASC 842, while certain tenant charge-backs are accounted for as variable payments under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Rental revenue, net of any concessions, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which is not materially different than if it were recorded when due from tenants and recognized monthly as it is earned. Tenant charge-backs, which are primarily related to cost recoveries on utilities, are recognized as revenue on a gross basis in the period during which the expenses are incurred.

We accrue for property taxes and homeowners’ association (“HOA”) assessments based on amounts billed, and, in some circumstances, estimates and historical trends when bills or assessments are not available. The actual assessment may differ from the estimates, resulting in a change in estimate in a subsequent period.
Gains or losses on sales of properties and upon contributions to our unconsolidated joint ventures are recognized pursuant to the provisions included in ASC 610-20, Other Income. Under ASC 610-20, we must first determine whether the transaction is a sale to a customer or non-customer. We typically sell properties on a selective basis and not within the ordinary course of our operating business and therefore expect that our sale transactions will not be contracts with customers. We next determine whether we have a controlling financial interest in the property after the sale, consistent with the consolidation model in ASC 810, Consolidation. If we determine that we do not have a controlling financial interest in the real estate, we evaluate whether a contract exists under ASC 606 and whether the buyer has obtained control of the asset that was sold. We recognize a full gain or loss on sale, which is presented in gain on sale and impairment of single-family properties and other, net within the consolidated statements of operations, when the derecognition criteria under ASC 610-20 have been met.

Leasing Costs

Our leasing costs are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 842, Leases. Direct costs incurred due to the execution of a lease are initially capitalized and then amortized over the term of the lease, which is generally one year.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

Accounts payable and accrued expenses consists primarily of trade payables, accrued interest, distribution payables, resident security deposits, prepaid rent, construction and maintenance liabilities, HOA fees, operating lease liabilities and property tax accruals as of the end of the respective period presented. It also consists of liabilities for consolidated land not owned (see Land Option Contracts above) and contingent loss accruals, if any, when such losses are both probable and estimable. When it is reasonably possible that a significant contingent loss has occurred, we disclose the nature of the potential loss and, if estimable, a range of exposure.
Share-Based Compensation
Share-Based Compensation

Our 2012 Equity Incentive Plan and 2021 Equity Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plans”), and our 2021 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2021 ESPP”), are accounted for under the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation. Noncash share-based compensation costs related to options to purchase our Class A common shares, restricted share units (“RSUs”) and performance-based restricted share units (“PSUs”) issued to members of the Company’s board of trustees and employees is based on the fair value of the options, RSUs and PSUs on the grant date and generally amortized over the service period. At the time of grant, the Company takes into consideration the timing of the equity award and evaluates for conditions that could result in the award to be considered spring-loaded, in which case the fair value would be adjusted. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not grant equity awards that would be considered spring-loaded. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.

The Plans allow for continued release of awards based on the original vesting schedule, rather than forfeiture, of unvested share-based grants upon termination of service for employees who meet certain retirement eligibility criteria, including age and years of service. Retirement eligible employees must also provide a notice of intent to retire at least six months prior to retirement date and the Human Capital and Compensation Committee (the “HCC Committee”) must approve the continued release of awards. As a result of the six month notice requirement, compensation cost is recognized over six months from the grant date to the extent an employee is retirement eligible on the grant date and compensation cost is accelerated to the extent that an employee will become retirement eligible before six months prior to the end of the contractual life of their share-based grants.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in an orderly transaction between two willing parties. Fair value is a market-based measurement, and should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The GAAP valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. A financial instrument’s categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are defined as follows:

Level 1—Inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets;
Level 2—Inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument; and

Level 3—Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value measurement.
Derivatives
Derivatives

From time to time, we may use treasury lock agreements or other derivative instruments for interest rate risk management purposes. We assess these derivatives at inception and on an ongoing basis for the effectiveness of qualifying cash flow hedges. For derivative instruments that are designated and qualify as a cash flow hedge, the gain or loss on the derivative instrument is reported as a component of other comprehensive income and reclassified into earnings as interest expense during the period in which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Cash flows from derivative instruments accounted for as a cash flow hedge are classified in the same category as the hedged transaction within the consolidated statements of cash flows.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require public entities to disclose significant segment expenses and other segment items and to provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Public entities with a single reportable segment are also required to provide the new disclosures and all the disclosures required under ASC 280. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The amendments in this ASU should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented unless it is impracticable. The Company adopted ASU 2023-07 on January 1, 2024. See Note 15. Segment Reporting.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective

Shareholders’ Equity / Partners’ Capital).
(3)The effect of the potential conversion of OP units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share as they are exchangeable for Class A common shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to the OP units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of the OP units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.
