"Our third quarter performance reflects our ongoing commitment to drive
organic growth while continuing to transform the portfolio," said Scott
Schaeffer, IRT's Chairman and CEO. "Sound market fundamentals combined
with a proactive approach to property management led to 4.0%
year-over-year same-store NOI growth for the third quarter and 4.9% for
the first nine months of the year. Our recently announced portfolio
acquisition aligns perfectly with our investment strategy and will
enable us to increase scale in core markets and strengthen our balance
sheet over time. The year-to-date execution of our strategic initiatives
has put IRT on track to deliver on our full-year objectives and enter
2018 from a position of strength as we work to unlock additional
portfolio value."
Property Acquisitions
On September 3, 2017, IRT reached an agreement to acquire a portfolio of
nine communities, totaling 2,353 units, for a gross purchase price of
$228.1 million. The acquisition accelerates IRT's penetration into a
number of core existing markets, including Columbus, OH, Indianapolis,
IN, and Atlanta, GA, while providing entry into two new markets. The
portfolio contains nine communities that were built or renovated between
2000 and 2011, had period end occupancy of 95% as of July 31, 2017, and
had an average effective rent per unit of $884 for the three months
ended July 31, 2017. On September 26, 2017, IRT closed on four of these
multifamily apartment communities, totaling 917 units: two in Columbus,
OH, and the remaining two in Indianapolis, IN and Myrtle Beach, SC. On
October 25, 2017, IRT closed on a 264-unit community in Baton Rouge, LA,
representing the fifth community in the portfolio. The acquisition of
the remaining four communities are expected to close in succession
during the fourth quarter of 2017, after and subject to the satisfaction
of customary closing conditions, as well as the debt assumption process
on three of the four.
Public Stock Offering
On September 11, 2017, IRT announced the closing of its public offering
of 12,500,000 shares of its common stock at a public offering price of
$9.25 per share. IRT also closed on the underwriters' option to purchase
an additional 1,875,000 shares of common stock at the public offering
price. As a result of the offering and the exercise of the underwriters'
option, IRT received approximately $126.1 million in net proceeds, after
deducting the underwriting discount and estimated offering expenses. IRT
is using the net proceeds from the offering to pay a portion of the
purchase price for the nine-community portfolio acquisition. Any
remaining proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
Capital Expenditures
For the three months ended September 30, 2017, recurring capital
expenditures for the total portfolio were $2.1 million, or $161 per
unit. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, recurring capital
expenditures for the total portfolio were $5.4 million, or $418 per unit.
2017 EPS and CFFO Guidance
IRT is adjusting 2017 full year EPS per diluted share guidance due to
additional depreciation and acquisition related costs from the
previously announced nine-community portfolio acquisition. EPS per
diluted share is projected to be in a range of $0.38 to $0.41, compared
to $0.54 to $0.57 previously. CFFO per diluted share is projected to be
in the range of $0.73 to $0.76, unchanged from the prior quarter. A
reconciliation of IRT's projected net income available to common shares
to its projected CFFO per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, is
included below. Also included below are the primary assumptions
underlying this estimate. See Schedule II to this release for further
information regarding how IRT calculates CFFO and Schedule V to this
release for management's definition and rationale for the usefulness of
CFFO.

Definitions
Average Effective Monthly Rent per Unit
Average effective rent per unit represents the average of gross rent
amounts, divided by the average occupancy (in units) for the period
presented. We believe average effective rent is a helpful measurement in
evaluating average pricing. This metric, when presented, reflects the
average effective rent per month.
Average Occupancy
Average occupancy represents the average of the daily physical occupancy
for the period presented.
Adjusted EBITDA
EBITDA is defined as net income before interest expense including
amortization of deferred financing costs, income tax expense, and
depreciation and amortization expenses. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA before
acquisition and integration expenses and certain other non-operating
gains or losses related to items such as asset sales, debt
extinguishments, acquisition related debt extinguishment expenses, gains
on the TSRE merger, and management internalization expenses. EBITDA and
Adjusted EBITDA are each non-GAAP measures. We consider each of EBITDA
and Adjusted EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our
performance because it eliminates interest, income taxes, depreciation
and amortization, acquisition and integration expenses and other
non-operating gains and losses, which permits investors to view income
from operations without these non-cash or non-operating items. IRT's
calculation of Adjusted EBITDA differs from the methodology used for
calculating Adjusted EBITDA by certain other REITs and, accordingly,
IRT's Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to Adjusted EBITDA reported
by other REITs.
Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Core Funds From Operations ("CFFO")
IRT believes that FFO and CFFO, each of which is a non-GAAP measure, are
additional appropriate measures of the operating performance of a REIT
and IRT in particular. IRT computes FFO in accordance with the standards
established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts, or NAREIT, as net income or loss (computed in accordance with
GAAP), excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization
expense, gains or losses on sales of real estate and the cumulative
effect of changes in accounting principles.
CFFO is a computation made by analysts and investors to measure a real
estate company's operating performance by removing the effect of items
that do not reflect ongoing property operations, including stock
compensation expense, depreciation and amortization of other items not
included in FFO, amortization of deferred financing costs, acquisition
and integration expenses, and other non-operating gains or losses
related to items such as hedge ineffectiveness, defeasance costs we
incur when we sell a property subject to secured debt, asset sales, debt
extinguishments, acquisition related debt extinguishment expenses, gains
on the TSRE merger, and management internalization expenses, from the
determination of FFO. IRT incurs acquisition expenses in connection with
acquisitions of real estate properties and expenses those costs when
incurred in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As these expenses are one-time
and reflective of investing activities rather than operating
performance, IRT adds back these costs to FFO in determining CFFO.
IRT's calculation of CFFO differs from the methodology used for
calculating CFFO by certain other REITs and, accordingly, IRT's CFFO may
not be comparable to CFFO reported by other REITs. IRT's management
utilizes FFO and CFFO as measures of IRT's operating performance, and
believes they are also useful to investors, because they facilitate an
understanding of IRT's operating performance after adjustment for
certain non-cash or non-operating items that are required by GAAP to be
expensed but may not necessarily be indicative of current operating
performance and that may not accurately compare IRT's operating
performance between periods. Furthermore, although FFO, CFFO and other
supplemental performance measures are defined in various ways throughout
the REIT industry, IRT believes that FFO and CFFO may provide IRT and
our investors with an additional useful measure to compare IRT's
financial performance to certain other REITs. Neither FFO nor CFFO is
equivalent to net income or cash generated from operating activities
determined in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, FFO and CFFO do not
represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because
of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or
other commitments or uncertainties. Neither FFO nor CFFO should be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of IRT's
operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating
activities as a measure of IRT's liquidity.
Interest Coverage
Interest coverage is a ratio computed by dividing our Adjusted EBITDA by
our interest expense.
Net Debt
Net debt, a non-GAAP measure, equals total debt less cash and cash
equivalents. The following table provides a reconciliation of total debt
to net debt.
IRT presents net debt because management believes it is a useful measure
of IRT's credit position and progress toward reducing leverage. The
calculation is limited in that IRT may not always be able to use cash to
repay debt on a dollar for dollar basis (Dollars in thousands).

Net Operating Income
IRT believes that Net Operating Income ("NOI"), a non-GAAP measure, is a
useful measure of its operating performance. IRT defines NOI as total
property revenues less total property operating expenses, excluding
depreciation and amortization, asset management fees, property
management fees, acquisition expenses and general administrative
expenses. In connection with our management internalization which was
completed in the fourth quarter of 2016, we modified our calculation of
NOI to exclude property management expenses. We retrospectively adjusted
previously reported NOI to conform to this change. Other REITs may use
different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, our NOI
may not be comparable to other REITs. We believe that this measure
provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP
operating income or net income. We use NOI to evaluate our performance
on a same store and non-same store basis because NOI measures the core
operations of property performance by excluding corporate level expenses
and other items not related to property operating performance and
captures trends in rental housing and property operating expenses.
However, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of our
financial performance.
Same Store Properties and Same Store Portfolio
IRT reviews its same store properties or portfolio at the beginning of
each calendar year. Properties are added into the same store portfolio
if they were owned at the beginning of the previous year. Properties
that are held-for-sale or have been sold are excluded from the same
store portfolio.
Total Gross Assets
Total Gross Assets equals total assets plus accumulated depreciation and
accumulated amortization, including fully depreciated or amortized real
estate and real estate related assets. The following table provides a
reconciliation of total assets to total gross assets (Dollars in
thousands).
