Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following is a discussion and analysis of our financial condition and our historical results of operations. The following should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and accompanying notes included herein and with our Annual Report, filed with the SEC on March 11, 2026. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual results could differ materially from those projected, forecasted, or expected in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including, but not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. See "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in this report and the information under the heading "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item IA, "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report. Our management believes the assumptions underlying the Company's financial statements and accompanying notes are reasonable. However, the Company's financial statements and accompanying notes may not be an indication of our financial condition and results of operations in the future.
Overview
The Company is an owner and operator of single-family rental homes, both scattered site and in BTR communities, that are rented to residents under leases with typical durations of one year. The Company's mission is to provide our residents with affordable, safe, clean and functional homes with a high level of service through institutional, quality management. Our investment objective is to acquire properties with cash flow growth potential, renovate (when appropriate) and maintain our homes to deliver a high-quality resident experience, while providing quarterly cash distributions and seeking long-term capital appreciation for our stockholders. Our investment focus has historically been on the affordable and workforce segments of the housing industry, but we are not precluded from investing in homes in the higher-cost segments of the housing industry.
The Company has two reportable segments, the VineBrook Portfolio and the NexPoint Homes Portfolio. The VineBrook Portfolio is the Company's primary reportable segment comprised of 20,208 homes as of March 31, 2026 which represents a significant majority of the Company's consolidated portfolio and operations. The VineBrook Portfolio generally purchases homes to implement a value-add strategy where we acquire, renovate (when appropriate), lease, maintain and otherwise manage single family rental homes primarily located in large to medium size cities and suburbs located in the midwestern, heartland and southeastern United States. Through this strategy, we seek to improve rental rates and net operating income ("NOI") at our homes. In addition to our value-add strategy, Company management has begun to underwrite acquisitions of, and the Company has begun to acquire, newer homes in BTR communities in higher growth submarkets within or complementary to our existing geographic footprint. The NexPoint Homes Portfolio is a reportable segment comprised of 1,983 homes as of March 31, 2026 and represents a minority of the Company's consolidated portfolio and operations. The NexPoint Homes Portfolio is a reportable segment that generally purchases newer homes that require less rehabilitation compared to the historical VineBrook Portfolio. As of March 31, 2026, we, through our OP and its consolidated subsidiaries, owned and operated 22,191 single family rental homes located in 21 states. We are externally advised by the Adviser through the Advisory Agreement, which will automatically renew on the anniversary of the renewal date for one-year terms thereafter, unless otherwise terminated.
On June 10, 2025, the OP entered into the Externalization Agreements with the Evergreen Manager. Pursuant to the Externalization Agreements, the Evergreen Manager will provide property management services to and generally operate the VineBrook Portfolio, including leasing the properties, managing resident situations, collecting rents, paying operating expenses, managing maintenance issues and other responsibilities customary for the management of SFR and BTR properties as well as provide certain asset management, acquisition, disposition and other services. On July 18, 2025, the initial group of properties within the VineBrook Portfolio was transitioned to the Evergreen Manager platform, a second group of properties was transitioned on September 17, 2025 and the final group was transitioned on October 23, 2025. On the Transition Effective Date, all of the Legacy VineBrook Management Agreements terminated. In connection with the Externalization, substantially all of our historical employees were terminated by the Company, with some being employed by the Evergreen Manager, some being employed by our Adviser and the balance being discharged. As a result of the
Management Agreements, as of the Transition Effective Date the VineBrook Portfolio is externally managed by the Evergreen Manager.
The NexPoint Homes Portfolio has entered into property management agreements with Mynd Management, Inc., as discussed in Note 4 of our consolidated financial statements.
On October 16, 2019, Highland, a former affiliate of our Sponsor, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Highland Bankruptcy"), which was subsequently transferred to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Texas (the "Bankruptcy Court"). On October 15, 2021, Marc S. Kirschner, as litigation trustee of a litigation subtrust formed pursuant to Highland's plan of reorganization and disclosure statement which became effective on August 11, 2021 and was subsequently amended, filed a lawsuit (the "Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit") against various persons and entities, including our Sponsor and James Dondero. The Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit does not include claims related to our business or our assets or operations. On March 24, 2023, the litigation trustee filed a motion seeking to voluntarily stay the Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit, which was granted by the Bankruptcy Court on April 4, 2023. On June 30, 2025, the Bankruptcy Court approved a settlement agreement between Highland and Hunter Mountain Investment Trust ("HMIT") pursuant to which the claims asserted in the Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit were assigned to HMIT. Parties in interest have filed a motion to vacate the HMIT settlement, and the Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit has been stayed pending a ruling on that motion.
In addition, on February 8, 2023, UBS Securities LLC and its affiliate (collectively, "UBS") filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York against Mr. Dondero and a number of other persons and entities seeking to collect on $1.3 billion in judgments UBS obtained against entities that were managed indirectly by Highland (the "UBS Lawsuit"). On February 26, 2024, the respondents, including Mr. Dondero, filed motions to dismiss the UBS Lawsuit. A hearing was held on July 8, 2024. The court dismissed the claims against one respondent, CLO HoldCo, Ltd., for lack of personal jurisdiction in a July 12, 2024 order. On August 24, 2024, UBS filed a notice of appeal for that dismissal order, but withdrew its appeal on December 31, 2025. On March 26, 2025, the court entered an order denying the remaining motions to dismiss and directed the respondents to file an answer to the UBS Lawsuit within 20 days, which they did. Mr. Dondero and the other remaining respondents are appealing the denial of the motion to dismiss to the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York. The appeal was argued on April 8, 2026. The Supreme Court rescheduled a status conference in the UBS Lawsuit previously set for April 14, 2026 to July 14, 2026. Neither the Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit nor the UBS Lawsuit include claims related to our business or our assets. Our Adviser and Mr. Dondero have informed us they believe the Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit has no merit, and Mr. Dondero has informed us he believes the UBS Lawsuit has no merit; we have been advised that the defendants named in each of the lawsuits intend to vigorously defend against the claims. We do not expect the Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit or the UBS Lawsuit will have a material effect on our business, results of operations or financial condition.
The United States government announced a comprehensive set of tariffs in the second quarter of 2025. Following the pause of certain of these tariffs, the majority of the previously announced tariffs were implemented, but such tariffs were determined unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States in a February 2026 ruling. Following such ruling, the current administration immediately imposed a 10% global tariff under a separate statutory provision. The United States government has indicated that it could impose additional tariffs on particular countries and impose global tariffs on certain goods. Such tariffs could impact our results of operations by increasing the costs of various goods, including construction materials. Management is actively engaged with vendors and business partners to reduce financial risks of tariffs; however, the impact of such tariffs is subject to uncertainties regarding the timing of their implementation, the magnitude of such tariffs and possible exemptions for certain goods, among other uncertainties.

Pathway to Homeownership Program
In 2024, we began our "Pathway to Homeownership" program, providing qualified residents with opportunities for home ownership. This initiative empowers individuals and families residing in a VineBrook Portfolio home to purchase their home outright by securing a conventional mortgage, enabling them to build equity in an affordable property. Residents of VineBrook Portfolio homes also have access to nationally recognized financial counseling and literacy resources at no additional cost to them through VineBrook's partnership with Operation Hope. These services include workshops that focus on topics such as money management, credit and homeownership, all geared to help residents attain financial freedom. VineBrook is one of the only large single-family rental companies dedicated to providing affordable and workforce housing. Through the Pathway to Homeownership, we have added yet another option for affordable, accessible single-family living that otherwise might not be available in a supply-challenged market.
Our VineBrook Portfolio
Since our formation, we have significantly grown our VineBrook Portfolio. When the Company began operations on November 1, 2018, the Initial Portfolio consisted of 4,129 homes located in Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the VineBrook Portfolio consisted of 20,208 and 20,601 homes, respectively, in 19 and 18 states, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the VineBrook Portfolio had an occupancy of 94.6% and 96.2%, respectively, and a weighted average monthly effective rent of $1,327 and $1,312, respectively, per occupied home. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the occupancy of stabilized homes in our VineBrook Portfolio was 95.3% and 95.7%, respectively, and the weighted average monthly effective rent of occupied stabilized homes was $1,350 and $1,327, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, 27.6% and 24.2%, respectively, of homes in our VineBrook Portfolio were excluded from being stabilized either because the homes were in rehabilitation, were purchased with residents in place, were classified as held for sale or were in the process of being made ready for disposition. The table below provides summary information regarding our VineBrook Portfolio as of March 31, 2026.

NexPoint Homes Portfolio
NexPoint Homes is an owner and operator of single-family rental homes. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the NexPoint Homes Portfolio consisted of 1,983 and 2,151 single-family rental homes, respectively, primarily located in the midwestern and southeastern United States. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the NexPoint Homes Portfolio had an occupancy of approximately 94.7% and 95.4%, respectively, and a weighted average monthly effective rent of $1,766 and $1,742, respectively, per occupied home. Lease durations are typically one year. NexPoint Homes' activities include acquiring, renovating, developing, leasing and operating single-family rental homes. For the NexPoint Homes Portfolio, a home is classified as stabilized once it has been rented or has been rehabilitated by the Company and available for rent for a period of greater than 30 days. Additionally, because stabilized homes are expected to be held for at least one year, stabilized homes also exclude any assets held for sale. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, the number of stabilized homes in the NexPoint Homes Portfolio was 1,828 and 2,052, respectively, the occupancy of stabilized homes was 94.7% and 95.4%, respectively, and the weighted average monthly effective rent of stabilized occupied homes was $1,766 and $1,742, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and 2025, 7.8% and 4.6% of homes in our NexPoint Homes Portfolio were excluded from being stabilized, respectively, because the homes were classified as held for sale.

Components of Revenues and Expenses
The following is a description of the components of our revenues and expenses.
Revenues
Rental Income. Our revenues are derived primarily from rental revenue, net of any concessions and uncollectible amounts, collected from residents of our single-family rental homes under lease agreements which typically have a term of one year. Also included are utility reimbursements, late fees, pet fees, and other rental fees charged to residents.
Other income. Other income includes ancillary income earned from residents such as non-refundable fees, application fees, move-out fees, and other miscellaneous fees charged to residents.
Expenses
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses include property maintenance costs, turn costs (costs incurred in making a home ready for the next resident after the prior resident vacates the home), leasing costs and the associated salary and employee benefit costs, utilities, vehicle leases and HOA fees. Certain property operating costs are capitalized in accordance with our capitalization policy. Certain turn costs are capitalized to buildings and improvements if they improve the condition of the home or return it to its original condition and exceed $1,500 in cost. Upon being occupied, expenditures up to $1,500 for ordinary repairs and maintenance thereafter are expensed as incurred, and we capitalize expenditures that improve the condition of the home in excess of $1,500.
Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes include the property taxes assessed by local and state authorities depending on the location of each home. Insurance includes the cost of property, general liability, and other needed insurance for each property. Certain real estate taxes and insurance costs are capitalized in accordance with our capitalization policy.
Property management fees. Property management fees include fees paid to Mynd for managing each property in the NexPoint Homes Portfolio, and beginning in the third quarter of 2025, fees paid to Evergreen Manager for managing each property in the VineBrook Portfolio.
Advisory fees. Advisory fees include the fees paid to our Adviser pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and the NexPoint Homes Adviser pursuant to the NexPoint Homes Advisory Agreement (see Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements).
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses include, but are not limited to, equity-based compensation expense, legal fees, corporate payroll and personnel costs, tax preparation fees, corporate taxes, Board fees, costs of marketing, professional fees, audit fees, general office supplies, centralized technology support and other expenses associated with our corporate and administrative functions. After the Externalization, shared-services fees are also included in general and administrative expenses, and corporate payroll and personnel costs were substantially reduced.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization costs primarily include depreciation of our homes and amortization of right of use assets, recognized over their respective useful lives.
Interest expense. Interest expense primarily includes the cost of interest expense on debt, payments and receipts related to our interest rate derivatives, the change (which may be positive or negative) in fair value of interest rate derivatives not designated as hedges, the amortization of deferred financing costs and the amortization of bond discounts. Certain interest costs are capitalized in accordance with our capitalization policy.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt includes prepayment penalties and defeasance costs, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs and fair market value adjustments of assumed debt related to the early repayment of debt and other costs incurred in a debt extinguishment.
Gain/(loss) on sales and impairment of real estate, net. Gain/(loss) on sales and impairment of real estate, net, includes the gain or loss recognized upon sales of homes and impairment charges recorded on real estate assets, including casualty gains or losses incurred on homes. Gain/(loss) on sales of real estate is calculated by deducting the carrying value of the real estate and costs incurred to sell the properties from the sales prices of the homes. Impairment of real estate assets is calculated by calculating the lower of the carrying amount or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell for held for sale properties. Casualty gains and losses include gains or losses incurred on homes, net of insurance proceeds received, that experience an event such as a natural disaster or fire.
Investment income. Investment income includes interest income from the retained ABS I and ABS II certificates, interest income from money market accounts and interest income from preferred equity investments. See Notes 5, 6 and 10 to our consolidated financial statements.
Reversal of loan losses. Reversal of loan losses relate to the change in our allowance for loan losses and includes the reduction of the loan from the SFR OP to HomeSource Operations, LLC (the "NexPoint Homes Manager") (the "HomeSource Note") and its associated interest receivable. See Note 10 to our consolidated financial statements for additional information.
Loss on forfeited deposits. Loss on forfeited deposits includes forfeitures of deposits related to the termination of acquisition agreements in the NexPoint Homes Portfolio.

Net loss increased from 2025 to 2026 due in large part to a decrease in net operating income from homes as over 1,000 homes were either sold or vacated pending sale, impairment of those homes taken out of service and held for sale, and an increase in loss on extinguishment of debt. In addition, the 2025 period benefitted from a $500,000 reversal of a prior loan loss not present in the 2026 period. These line items contributing to a higher net loss were mitigated by a significant decrease in loss on forfeited deposits, higher investment income and lower general and administrative expense.
Revenues
Rental income. Rental income was $79.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $90.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was a decrease of $11.4 million. The decrease between the periods was primarily due to dispositions in the VineBrook Portfolio and NexPoint Homes Portfolio together with a larger number of homes being vacated and listed for sale, partially offset by a 4.5% blended increase in average rental rate in the first quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.
Other income. Other income was $8.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was an increase of $6.1 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to incremental tenant utility billings as part of the Company's adoption of Conservice, a third party utility billing and management company.
Expenses
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses were $19.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $21.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was a decrease of $2.6 million. The decrease between the periods was primarily due to dispositions in the VineBrook Portfolio and NexPoint Homes Portfolio, a decrease in property operations payroll resulting from the Externalization, and a decrease in turn costs, partially offset by increases in utilities expense and repairs and maintenance costs associated with stabilized homes.
Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes and insurance were $17.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $17.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, with no change quarter over quarter. The lack of change between the periods was primarily due to dispositions in the VineBrook Portfolio and NexPoint Homes Portfolio, offset by increases in real estate tax assessments as a result of increases in property valuations.
Property management fees. Property management fees were $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was an increase of $1.9 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to the Externalization.
Advisory fees. Advisory fees were $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, with no change quarter over quarter. The lack of change between the periods was primarily due to decrease in fee earning assets under management for the VineBrook Portfolio and NexPoint Homes Portfolio, offset by acquisitions within the VineBrook Portfolio.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses were $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $21.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was a decrease of $7.5 million. The decrease between the periods was primarily due to decreases in employee payroll and equity-based compensation costs related to the acceleration of RSU and PIU vestings due to the termination of certain executive employment arrangements in connection with the Externalization in 2025, partially offset by an increase in legal fees and shared service fees following the Externalization.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization costs were $29.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $30.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was a decrease of $0.6 million. The decrease between the periods was primarily due to the disposition of homes and an increase in the movement of homes being classified as held for sale, partially offset by acquisition of homes within the VineBrook Portfolio.
Interest expense. Interest expense was $41.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $35.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was an increase of $6.3 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to an increase in non-cash discount and deferred financing cost amortization and a decrease in interest rate derivative proceeds due to the expiration and termination of interest rate swaps and caps, partially offset by decreases in interest on debt as we made pay downs on debt outstanding over the past year. The following table details the various costs included in interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

Loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt was $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was an increase of $0.3 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to an increase in debt extinguishment activity for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.
Loss on sales and impairment of real estate, net. Loss on sales and impairment of real estate was $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was an increase of $2.0 million. The increase between the periods was primarily due to an increase in impairment charges recognized on homes classified as held for sale within the VineBrook Portfolio and the NexPoint Homes Portfolio and an increase in the number of homes sold for a loss within the NexPoint Homes Portfolio. The Company strategically identifies homes for disposal and expects the disposal of these properties to be accretive to the Portfolio's results of operation and overall performance. The $2.5 million of loss on sales and impairment of real estate, net for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was comprised of total impairment of real estate assets of $13.4 million, partially offset by gain on sales of real estate of $10.9 million.
Investment income. Investment income was $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, with no change quarter over quarter. The lack of change between the periods was primarily due to a decrease in interest income from money market accounts, offset by the increase in interest income from preferred equity investments.
Reversal of loan losses. Reversal of loan losses was zero for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was a decrease of $0.5 million. The decrease between the periods was due to the reversal of loan losses from extra cash received from NexPoint Homes Manager after notifying the SFR OP that the NexPoint Homes Manager would cease business operations, which resulted in the provision that effectively reduced the HomeSource Note and its associated interest receivable in 2025.
Loss on forfeited deposits. Loss on forfeited deposits was two thousand dollars for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was a decrease of $1.4 million. The decrease between the periods was primarily due to writing off earnest money deposits within the NexPoint Homes Portfolio during 2025.
Non-GAAP Measurements
Net Operating Income
NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure of performance. NOI is used by our management to evaluate and compare the performance of our properties to other comparable properties, to determine trends in earnings and to compute the fair value of our properties as NOI is not affected by (1) interest expense, (2) advisory fees, (3) the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses, (4) gains or losses from the sale of operating real estate assets that are included in net income computed in accordance with GAAP or impairment charges, including casualty gains or losses (5) general and administrative expenses, (6) investment income, (7) reversal of (provision for) loan losses, (8) loss on forfeited deposits and (9) other gains and losses that are specific to us, including loss on extinguishment of debt. We believe that eliminating these items from net income is useful because the resulting measure captures the actual ongoing revenue generated and actual expenses incurred in operating our properties as well as trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs.
However, the usefulness of NOI is limited because it excludes the items discussed above. NOI may fail to capture significant trends in these components of net income, which further limits its usefulness.
NOI is a measure of the operating performance of our properties but does not measure our performance as a whole. NOI is therefore not a substitute for net income (loss) as computed in accordance with GAAP. This measure should be analyzed in conjunction with net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP and discussions elsewhere regarding the components of net income (loss) that are eliminated in the calculation of NOI. Other companies may use different methods for calculating NOI or similarly entitled measures and, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to similarly entitled measures reported by other companies that do not define the measure exactly as we do.
The following table, which has not been adjusted for the effects of NCI, reconciles our consolidated NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 to net loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure on a consolidated basis (in thousands):

Net Operating Income for Our 2025-2026 Same Home and Non-Same Home Properties for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
There are 15,608 homes in our 2025-2026 same home pool (our "2025-2026 Same Home" properties). To be included as a "2025-2026 Same Home," homes must be in the VineBrook Portfolio and must have been stabilized for at least 90 days in advance of the first day of the previous fiscal year and be held through the current reporting period-end. 2025-2026 Same Home properties for the period ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025 were stabilized by October 1, 2024 and held through March 31, 2026. 2025-2026 Same Home properties do not include homes held for sale. Homes that are stabilized are included as 2025-2026 Same Home properties, whether occupied or vacant. See Item 1 "Business-Our VineBrook Portfolio" for a discussion of the definition of stabilized. We view 2025-2026 Same Home NOI as an important measure of the operating performance of our homes because it allows us to compare operating results of homes owned for the entirety of the current and comparable periods and therefore eliminate variations caused by acquisitions or dispositions during the periods.
The following table reflects the revenues, property operating expenses and NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 for our 2025-2026 Same Home and Non-Same Home properties (dollars in thousands):

2025-2026 Same Home Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2026 and 2025
As of March 31, 2026, our 2025-2026 Same Home properties were approximately 95.4% occupied with a weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied home of $1,340. As of March 31, 2025, our 2025-2026 Same Home properties were approximately 96.1% occupied with a weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied home of $1,335. For our
2025-2026 Same Home properties, we recorded the following operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025:
Revenues
Rental income. Rental income was $59.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $59.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was a decrease of approximately $0.3 million, or 0.6%. The decrease is related to a 0.7% decrease in occupancy, partially offset by a 0.4% increase in the weighted average monthly effective rent per occupied home.
Other income. Other income was approximately $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to approximately $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was an increase of approximately $0.6 million, or 100%. This increase was primarily due to the increase in overall fees charged to single family properties of $0.6 million.
Expenses
Property operating expenses. Property operating expenses were $8.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was a decrease of approximately $1.8 million, or 16.6%. The decrease is primarily related to a decrease in turnover costs of $2.9 million and a decrease of property management payroll of $3.6 million, partially offset by increases in repair and maintenance expense of $3.9 million and leasing expense of $0.9 million.
Real estate taxes and insurance. Real estate taxes and insurance costs were $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, with no change quarter over quarter. An increase in real estate taxes of $0.2 million, was offset by a decrease in property insurance costs of $0.2 million.
Property management fees. Property management fees were $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to zero for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was an increase of approximately $1.5 million, or 100.0%. The increase is due to the Externalization.
The following table reflects a reconciliation of Same Home and Non-Same Home revenues and operating expenses to total revenues and operating expenses, including resident chargebacks, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (dollars in thousands):

Consolidated FFO, Core FFO and AFFO
We believe that net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. We also believe that funds from operations attributable to stockholders, NCI of the OP, redeemable NCI in consolidated VIEs, and NCI in consolidated VIEs ("FFO") as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investments Trusts ("NAREIT"), core
funds from operations attributable to stockholders, NCI of the OP, redeemable NCI in consolidated VIEs, and NCI in consolidated VIEs ("Core FFO") and adjusted funds from operations attributable to stockholders, NCI of the OP, redeemable NCI in consolidated VIEs, and NCI in consolidated VIEs ("AFFO") are important non-GAAP supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT.
Since the historical cost accounting convention used for real estate assets requires depreciation except on land, such accounting presentation implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, presentations of operating results for a REIT that use historical cost accounting for depreciation could be less informative. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income (loss), as defined by GAAP. FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions and impairment of real estate assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization. We compute FFO in accordance with NAREIT's definition. Our presentation differs slightly from NAREIT's in that we begin with net income (loss) attributable to stockholders and add net income (loss) attributable to NCI in the OP, net income (loss) attributable to redeemable NCI in consolidated VIEs and net income (loss) attributable to NCI in consolidated VIEs and then make the adjustments to arrive at FFO.
Core FFO makes certain adjustments to FFO, which are not representative of the ongoing operating performance of our Portfolio. Core FFO adjusts FFO to remove items such as (1) losses on forfeited deposits, (2) gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, (3) non-cash interest expenses, (5) reversal of (provision for) loan losses, (6) transaction costs incurred in connection with the Externalization, acquisitions, dispositions and issuance of debt and other costs not related to core real estate operations and (7) equity-based compensation expense. We believe Core FFO is useful as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and is useful in comparing our operating performance with other REITs.
AFFO makes certain adjustments to Core FFO in order to arrive at a more refined measure of the operating performance of our Portfolio. There is no industry standard definition of AFFO and the method of calculating AFFO is divergent across the industry. AFFO adjusts Core FFO to remove recurring capital expenditures, which are costs necessary to help preserve the value and maintain functionality of our homes. We believe AFFO is useful as a supplemental gauge of the operating performance of our Company and is useful in comparing our operating performance with other REITs.
Basic and diluted weighted average shares in our FFO/Core FFO/AFFO table includes both our Common Stock and OP Units.
We believe that the use of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. While FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income (loss) as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. FFO, Core FFO and AFFO do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements.
The following table reconciles our calculations of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO to net loss attributable to stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

VineBrook FFO, Core FFO and AFFO
In addition to FFO, Core FFO and AFFO, we present FFO, Core FFO and AFFO for the VineBrook Portfolio ("VineBrook FFO," "VineBrook Core FFO," and "VineBrook AFFO," respectively) as we view the VineBrook Portfolio as the Company's primary reportable segment and believe it is useful to consider the VineBrook FFO, VineBrook Core FFO and VineBrook AFFO as supplemental gauges of our operating performance. We also use VineBrook Core FFO as a performance metric for certain key executives, including under grants of performance shares made in the Internalization.
FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from real estate dispositions and impairment of real estate assets, plus real estate depreciation and amortization. We compute VineBrook FFO in accordance with NAREIT's definition. Our presentation differs slightly from NAREIT's in that we begin with VineBrook net income (loss) attributable to stockholders and add VineBrook net income (loss) attributable to NCI in the OP and then make the adjustments to arrive at VineBrook FFO.
VineBrook Core FFO makes certain adjustments to VineBrook FFO, which are not representative of the ongoing operating performance of our Portfolio. VineBrook Core FFO adjusts VineBrook FFO to remove or add items such as (1) losses on forfeited deposits, (2) reportable segment-specific investment income, (3) gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, (4) non-cash interest expenses, (5) transaction costs incurred in connection with acquisitions, dispositions and issuance of debt and other costs not related to core real estate operations, including the Externalization and (6) equity-based compensation expense. We believe VineBrook Core FFO is useful as a supplemental gauge of our operating performance and is useful in comparing our operating performance with other REITs.
VineBrook AFFO makes certain adjustments to VineBrook Core FFO in order to arrive at a more refined measure of the operating performance of our VineBrook Portfolio. There is no industry standard definition of AFFO and the method of calculating AFFO is divergent across the industry. VineBrook AFFO adjusts VineBrook Core FFO to remove recurring capital expenditures, which are costs necessary to help preserve the value and maintain functionality of our homes. We believe VineBrook AFFO is useful as a supplemental gauge of the operating performance of our VineBrook Portfolio and is useful in comparing our operating performance with other REITs.
Basic and diluted weighted average shares in our VineBrook FFO/VineBrook Core FFO/VineBrook AFFO table includes both our Common Stock and OP Units.
We believe that the use of VineBrook FFO, VineBrook Core FFO and VineBrook AFFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, improves the understanding of operating results of REITs and makes comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. While FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of REITs, they do not represent cash flows from operations or net income (loss) as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative or substitute to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. VineBrook FFO, VineBrook Core FFO and VineBrook AFFO do not purport to be indicative of cash available to fund our future cash requirements. Further, our computation of VineBrook FFO, VineBrook Core FFO and VineBrook AFFO may not be comparable to FFO, Core FFO and AFFO reported by other REITs.
The FFO, Core FFO and AFFO results discussed further below are for the VineBrook Portfolio, and reconcile to net loss for the VineBrook Portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. See below for a reconciliation of VineBrook net loss to consolidated net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:

The three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025
VineBrook FFO was negative $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to negative $4.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was a decrease of approximately $7.4 million. The change in VineBrook FFO between the periods primarily relates to the decrease in rental income of $10.9 million and increases in the VineBrook Portfolio's property management fees of $1.9 million and VineBrook Portfolio's interest expenses of $6.1
million, partially offset by an increase in the VineBrook Portfolio's other income of $5.3 million and decreases in the VineBrook Portfolio's property operating expenses of $2.7 million, VineBrook Portfolio's general and administrative expenses of $3.2 million and VineBrook Portfolio's depreciation and amortization expense of $0.3 million.
VineBrook Core FFO was $2.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was a decrease of approximately $9.3 million. The change in VineBrook Core FFO between the periods primarily relates to decreases in VineBrook FFO of $7.4 million, VineBrook Portfolio's investment income of $0.3 million, VineBrook Portfolio's non-cash interest expense of $0.5 million and VineBrook Portfolio's equity based compensation expense of $1.6 million, partially offset by increases in VineBrook Portfolio's loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million and VineBrook Portfolio's transaction and other costs of $0.2 million, which are all added back to arrive at VineBrook Core FFO.
VineBrook AFFO was negative $6.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was a decrease of approximately $13.3 million. The change in VineBrook AFFO between the periods primarily relates to a decrease to VineBrook Core FFO and a decrease in the VineBrook Portfolio's recurring capital expenditures of $4.0 million.
The changes in diluted VineBrook FFO per share, VineBrook Core FFO per share and VineBrook AFFO per share were primarily related to an increase of 21.2% in VineBrook interest expense (or 15.7% on a per share basis). The weighted average interest rate of debt decreased from 5.3214% as of March 31, 2025 to 5.0866% as of March 31, 2026 for the VineBrook Portfolio, which has partially offset the decrease in our VineBrook FFO and VineBrook Core FFO per share results. The Company has entered into two interest rate derivative agreements with an aggregate notional amount of approximately $547.9 million in order to partially offset the impact of interest rates.
Net Asset Value
The purchase price at which Common Stock may be repurchased in accordance with the terms of the Amended Share Repurchase Plan is generally based on the most recent NAV per share in effect at the time of repurchase, and Common Stock or OP Units issued under the applicable DRIP generally reflect a 3% discount to the then-current NAV per share.
Effective for valuations beginning on September 30, 2025, the Company implemented the Valuation Methodology approved by the Board. Under the Valuation Methodology, the Adviser calculates a preliminary NAV range by applying capitalization rates ("cap rates")-low, mid, and high-provided by Green Street for each Metropolitan Statistical Area in which the VineBrook Portfolio owns properties. The Adviser will apply these cap rates to each property's projected net operating income over the next twelve months, adjusted for property dispositions and acquisitions, unless the property is a new acquisition (generally acquired within twelve months of the valuation date), in which case a discounted cash flow model will be applied. Then the Adviser will layer in other assets and liabilities and make any other adjustments deemed necessary to arrive at a preliminary NAV range that it will recommend to the Pricing Committee. Based on this recommendation, the Pricing Committee will then determine NAV based on the midpoint of the range.
Effective for NAV determined on and after December 31, 2021, NAV has been determined as of the end of each quarter. NAV per share is calculated on a fully diluted basis. The following table presents our historical NAV as determined by the Pricing Committee since December 31, 2024:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for debt maturities, operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our homes, including:
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements generally through net cash provided by operations, existing cash balances, sales of homes and debt financing.
Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company paid off $24.6 million of the debt obligations coming due. Each reporting period, management evaluates the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in accordance with ASC 205-40, Going Concern, by evaluating conditions and events, including assessing the liquidity needs to meet obligations as they become due within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The Company has significant debt obligations of approximately $265.9 million coming due within 12 months of the financial statement issuance date, primarily due to the NexPoint Homes MetLife Note 1, which matures on March 3, 2027. As of the date of issuance, the Company does not have sufficient liquidity to satisfy these obligations. In order to satisfy obligations as they mature, management intends to evaluate its options and may seek to: (i) make partial loan pay downs, (ii) refinance the NexPoint Homes MetLife Note 1 and (iii) sell homes from its Portfolio and pay down debt balances with the net sale proceeds. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company sold 75 homes and 12 homes, respectively, for net proceeds of approximately $11.8 million and $3.1 million in the VineBrook Portfolio and the NexPoint Homes Portfolio, respectively. The Company intends to sell approximately 3,500 homes over the next twelve months to generate net proceeds of approximately $503.1 million in the VineBrook Portfolio. Additionally, the Company intends to sell approximately 700 homes over the next twelve months to generate proceeds of approximately $181.5 million in the NexPoint Homes Portfolio. The sale of homes from the Portfolio could cause a decrease in net operating income but is expected to be offset by the interest savings from the pay downs. The Company's ability to meet its debt obligations as they come due is dependent upon its ability to meet debt covenants, which it currently projects to do, its ability to refinance debt and its ability to sell homes from its Portfolio to pay down the balances. The Company intends to refinance the NexPoint Homes MetLife Note 1 obligation primarily using debt or equity financing before it comes due. Given the Company's historical ability to refinance debt, as well as the robust debt market, the Company expects to be able to refinance debt as necessary to meet its debt obligations going forward. Management believes these plans by the Company will be sufficient to satisfy the obligations as they become due. These financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with GAAP, assuming the Company will continue as a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the normal course of business. These financial statements do not include any adjustments that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
We believe that our available cash, expected operating cash flows, net proceeds from the sale of homes and potential debt or equity financings will provide sufficient funds for our operations, anticipated scheduled debt service payments and dividend requirements for the twelve-month period following the issuance of these financials. We believe that the various sources of long-term capital, which may include public or private issuances of common equity, preferred equity or debt, draws on our revolving credit facilities, existing working capital, net cash provided by operations, long-term mortgage indebtedness and other secured and unsecured borrowings will provide sufficient funds for our operations, anticipated scheduled debt service payments and dividend requirements in the long-term.
There are a number of factors that may have a material adverse effect on our ability to access capital sources, including the state of overall equity and credit markets, our degree of leverage, our unencumbered asset base and borrowing restrictions imposed by lenders (including as a result of any failure to comply with financial covenants in our existing and future indebtedness), general market conditions for REITs, our operating performance and liquidity, market perceptions about us and restrictions on sales of properties under the Code. The success of our business strategy will depend, in part, on our ability to access these various capital sources.
Our homes will require periodic capital expenditures and renovation to remain competitive. Also, acquisitions of new homes will require significant capital outlays. Long-term, we may not be able to fund such capital improvements solely from net cash provided by operations because we must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deductions for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, to qualify and maintain our qualification as a REIT, and we are subject to tax on any retained income and gains. As a result, our ability to fund capital expenditures and acquisitions through retained earnings long-term is limited. Consequently, we expect to rely heavily upon the availability of debt or equity capital for these purposes. If we are unable to obtain the necessary capital on favorable terms, or at all, our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, and prospects could be materially and adversely affected.

The three months ended March 31, 2026 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2025
Cash flows from operating activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in operating activities was $9.9 million compared to net cash provided by operating activities of $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change in cash flows from operating activities was primarily due to increases in accrued interest payable of $2.0 million, real estate taxes payable of $0.3 million and accounts payable and other accrued liabilities of $6.5 million and decreases in prepaids and other assets of $1.7 million and accounts receivable of less than $0.1 million.
Cash flows from investing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in investing activities was $4.3 million compared to net cash provided by investing activities of $36.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change in cash flows from investing activities was primarily due to an increase in acquisitions of real estate investments and an increase in additions to real estate investments, partially offset by an increase in disposition activity and net proceeds from sales of real estate.
Cash flows from financing activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, net cash used in financing activities was $42.5 million compared to net cash used in financing activities of $33.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The change in cash flows from financing activities was mainly due to an increase in notes payable principal payments, partially offset by increases in notes payable proceeds received and credit facilities proceeds received and a decrease in credit facilities principal payments.
Debt, Derivatives and Hedging Activity
Debt
As of March 31, 2026, the VineBrook Portfolio had aggregate debt outstanding to third parties of approximately $2.2 billion at a weighted average interest rate of 5.0866% and an adjusted weighted average interest rate of 4.7462%.

Barings Term Loan
On October 17, 2025, the OP, via its indirect subsidiaries, as borrowers, and the Company, as parent guarantor, entered into the Barings Term Loan, providing for a $325.0 million loan with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company, MassMutual Ascend Life Insurance Company and Martello Re Limited, as lenders, which has been fully funded at an original issue discount of 3.0% of the Barings Term Loan.

The Barings Term Loan, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, is included in notes payable, net, on the consolidated balance sheets.
Asset Backed Securitization I
On December 6, 2023, the OP completed the ABS I transaction, in connection with which the ABS I Borrower entered into the ABS I Loan Agreement with the ABS I Lender, providing for the ABS I Loan, a 5-year, fixed-rate, interest-only loan with a total principal balance of $392.2 million.
Concurrent with the execution of the ABS I Loan Agreement, the ABS I Lender sold the ABS I Loan to the Depositor, an indirect subsidiary of the OP, which, in turn, transferred the ABS I Loan to a trust in exchange for (i) $178.4 million principal amount of Class A Certificates, (ii) $38.6 million principal amount of Class B Certificates, (iii) $30.8 million
principal amount of Class C Certificates, (iv) $43.0 million principal amount of Class D Certificates, (v) $50.1 million principal amount of Class E1 Certificates, (vi) $12.2 million principal amount of Class E2 Certificates, and (vii) $39.1 million Class R Certificates. The Certificates represent beneficial ownership interests in the trust and its assets, including the ABS I Loan.
The Depositor sold the Certificates, acquired by the Depositor in the manner described above, to placement agents who resold the Certificates to investors in a private offering. The Regular Certificates are exempt from registration under the Securities Act and are "exempted securities" under the Exchange Act. To satisfy applicable risk retention rules, the OP completed a securitization transaction, VINE 2023-SFR1, providing for a 5-year, fixed-rate, interest-only loan of Class F Certificates with a total principal amount of $39.1 million. The Company evaluated the purchased Class F Certificates as a variable interest in the trust and concluded that the Class F Certificates do not provide the Company with an ability to direct activities that could impact the trust's economic performance. The Company does not consolidate the trust and the $39.1 million of purchased Class F Certificates are reflected as asset-backed securitization certificates in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The Depositor used the proceeds from the sale of the Certificates to purchase the ABS I Loan from the ABS I Lender, as described above. The Regular Certificates were sold to investors at a discount and the OP retained the Class F Certificate (as described above), with the result that the proceeds, before closing costs, from the ABS I Loan to the ABS I Borrower were approximately $314.0 million. The net proceeds of $300.6 million were used to partially pay down the Warehouse Facility.
The ABS I Loan is collateralized by 2,575 single-family rental homes, and as of March 31, 2026, approximately 12.74% of the Portfolio served as collateral for outstanding borrowings under the ABS I Loan. The ABS I Loan is segregated into six tranches, all of which accrue interest at 4.9235% and have a maturity date of December 8, 2028.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal balance of the ABS I Loan was $354.8 million and $366.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was zero remaining availability to be drawn on the ABS I Loan. The ABS I Loan, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, is included in notes payable, net, on the consolidated balance sheets.
Asset Backed Securitization II
On February 29, 2024, the OP, via the ABS II Borrower, completed the ABS II transaction and entered into the ABS II Loan Agreement.
Concurrent with the execution of the ABS II Loan Agreement, the lender sold the ABS II Loan to the Depositor, an indirect subsidiary of the OP, which, in turn, transferred the loan to a trust in exchange for (i) $176.9 million principal amount of ABS II Class A Certificates, (ii) $38.6 million principal amount of the ABS II Class B Certificates, (iii) $30.6 million principal amount of ABS II Class C Certificates, (iv) $42.9 million principal amount of ABS II Class D Certificates, (v) $63.5 million principal amount of ABS II Class E1 Certificates, (vi) $11.2 million principal amount of ABS II Class E2 Certificates, and (vii) $39.9 million ABS II Class R Certificates. Initially, the OP retained $19.5 million notional amount of the ABS II Class A Certificates, $10.5 million of the ABS II Class B Certificates, and $2.0 million of the ABS II Class C Certificates. On July 11, 2024, the OP sold $10.5 million of the ABS II Class B Certificates. On July 24, 2024, the OP sold $19.5 million of the ABS II Class A Certificates. On September 25, 2024, the OP sold $2.0 million of the ABS II Class C Certificates.
The Depositor sold the ABS II Certificates, acquired by the Depositor in the manner described above, to placement agents who resold the Certificates to investors in a private offering. The ABS II Regular Certificates are exempt from registration under the Securities Act and are "exempted securities" under the Exchange Act. To satisfy applicable risk retention rules, the OP purchased and retained the ABS II Class F component, totaling $39.9 million. Additionally, the OP purchased and retained a portion of the ABS II Class A, Class B and Class C components, totaling $19.5 million, $10.5 million and $2.0 million, respectively. The Company evaluated the purchased ABS II Class A, Class B, Class C and Class F certificates as a variable interest in the trust and concluded that the ABS II Class A, Class B, Class C and Class F certificates do not provide the Company with an ability to direct activities that could impact the trust's economic performance. The Company does not consolidate the trust and the remaining $39.9 million of the ABS II Certificates are reflected as asset-backed securitization certificates on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. For the retained ABS II Class F certificate, the Company determined to classify the debt security as a held to maturity investment (see Note 6). The Depositor used the proceeds from the sale of the ABS II Certificates to purchase the ABS II Loan from the lender, as described above. The ABS II Regular Certificates were sold to investors at a discount and the OP retained the entire Class F certificate (as described above), with the result that the proceeds, before closing costs, from the ABS II Loan to the ABS II Borrower were approximately $331.8 million. A portion of the net proceeds from the ABS II were used to pay down $242.4 million on the JPM Facility and fund reserves per the credit agreement.
The ABS II Loan is collateralized by 2,416 single-family rental homes, and as of March 31, 2026, approximately 11.96% of the Portfolio served as collateral for outstanding borrowings under the ABS II Loan. The ABS II Loan is segregated into seven tranches, Components A through F, providing for a 5-year, fixed-rate, interest-only loan. The weighted average interest rate of the ABS II Regular Certificates (Class A through E2) is 4.6495% and have a maturity date of March 9, 2029.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal balance of the ABS II Loan was $396.18 million and $397.1 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was zero remaining availability to be drawn on the ABS II Loan. The ABS II Loan, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, is included in notes payable, net, on the consolidated balance sheets.
MetLife Term Loan I
On August 22, 2024, VB Nine and VB Ten entered into the MetLife Term Loan I Facilities with MetLife and MetLife Tower, and the lenders party thereto from time to time, which provided a total commitment of $343.2 million. Borrowings under the MetLife Term Loan I Facilities are secured by an equity pledge by VB Nine Equity, LLC and VB Ten Equity, LLC of their equity interests in VB Nine and VB Ten, respectively, and the property and assets held by VB Nine and VB Ten, respectively, and bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 4.5%. The MetLife Term Loan I Facilities are full-term, interest-only facilities that mature on August 22, 2029. The Company used $282.0 million of the proceeds to pay down a portion of the outstanding amounts under the Warehouse Facility.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal balance of the MetLife Term Loan I Facilities was $299.8 million and $308.9 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was zero remaining
availability to be drawn on the MetLife Term Loan I Facilities. The MetLife Term Loan I Facilities, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, are included in notes payable, net, on the consolidated balance sheets.
MetLife Term Loan II
On November 4, 2024, VB Eleven, as borrower, entered into the $250.0 million MetLife Term Loan II Facility with MetLife and MetLife Tower, and the lenders party thereto from time to time. Borrowings under the MetLife Term Loan II Facility are secured by an equity pledge by VB Eleven Equity, LLC of its equity interests in VB Eleven and the property and assets held by VB Eleven, and bear interest at a fixed rate equal to 4.75%. The MetLife Term Loan II Facility is a full-term, interest-only facility that matures on November 4, 2029.
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the outstanding principal balance of the MetLife Term Loan II Facility was $243.0 million and $245.0 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there was zero remaining availability to be drawn on the MetLife Term Loan II Facility. The MetLife Term Loan II Facility, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, is included in notes payable, net, on the consolidated balance sheets.
OSL Loan III
On February 26, 2026, the OP, as borrower, entered into a secured revolving credit agreement for an aggregate amount of up to $15.0 million (the "OSL Loan III") with OSL. The OP drew $5.0 million and $10.0 million under the OSL Loan III on February 26, 2026 and March 6, 2026, respectively. The OSL Loan III provides for a 2-year, interest-only loan at a 9.25% fixed interest rate and is guaranteed by the Company.
As of March 31, 2026, the outstanding principal balance of the OSL Loan III was $15.0 million. As of March 31, 2026, there was zero remaining availability to be drawn on the OSL Loan III. The OSL Loan III, net of unamortized deferred financing costs, is included in notes payable, net, on the consolidated balance sheets.
Refinancing of Capital
We intend to invest in additional homes, including through BTR communities, as suitable opportunities arise and adequate sources of equity and debt financing are available. We expect that future investments in properties, including any improvements or renovations of current or newly acquired properties, will depend on and will be financed by, in whole or in part, our existing cash, future borrowings and the proceeds from additional issuances of shares of Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other securities or property dispositions.
Although we expect to be subject to restrictions on our ability to incur indebtedness, we expect that we will be able to refinance existing indebtedness or incur additional indebtedness for acquisitions or other purposes, if needed. However, there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance our indebtedness, incur additional indebtedness or access additional sources of capital, such as by issuing Common Stock, preferred stock or other debt or equity securities, on terms that are acceptable to us or at all.
Furthermore, following the completion of our renovations and depending on the interest rate environment at the applicable time, we may seek to refinance our floating rate debt into longer-term fixed rate debt at lower leverage levels.
Interest Rate Derivative Agreements
In order to fix a portion of, and mitigate the risk associated with, our floating rate indebtedness, we, through the OP, previously entered into 12 interest rate swap transactions with KeyBank and Mizuho Capital Markets LLC with a combined notional amount of $1.1 billion, none of which remain outstanding as of March 31, 2026. For a description of the Company's interest rate swap activity during the year ended December 31, 2025, see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report.
Interest rate caps involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. On June 27, 2025, the Company, through the OP, paid a premium of approximately $0.1 million and entered into the RBC Cap with a notional amount of $31.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company, through the OP, entered into subsequent modifications of the RBC Cap, wherein the notional amount was increased to $82.9 million as of December 31, 2025. On January 9, 2026, the Company, through the OP, paid a premium of less than $0.1 million and modified the RBC Cap, wherein the notional amount was increased to $94.9 million. On March 30, 2026, the Company, through the OP, paid a premium of less than $0.1 million and modified the RBC Cap, wherein the notional amount was increased to $97.9 million. On February 11, 2026, the Company, through the OP, paid a premium of approximately $6.8 million and entered into an interest rate cap transaction with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. with a notional amount of $450.0 million (the "JPM Cap"). The interest rate caps effectively cap one-month term SOFR at 4.25% on $97.9 million and 2.00% on $450.0 million on floating rate debts. The interest rate caps expire on July 9, 2027 and March 1, 2027, respectively.
Investments in Subsidiaries
As of March 31, 2026, the Company, through the OP and its SPE subsidiaries, owned the Portfolio, which consisted of 20,208 properties in the VineBrook Portfolio and 1,983 properties in the NexPoint Homes Portfolio, through 19 SPEs and their various subsidiaries and through the consolidated investment in NexPoint Homes. The following table presents the ownership structure of each SPE group that directly or indirectly owns the title to each real estate asset as of March 31, 2026, the number of assets held, the cost of those assets, the resulting debt allocated to each SPE and whether the debt is a mortgage loan. The table presents the debt allocations to each SPE that collateralizes the related debt per the loan agreements. The mortgage loan may be settled from the assets of the below entity or entities to which the loan is made (dollars in thousands):

REIT Tax Election and Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2018 and expect to continue to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number
of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our "REIT taxable income," as defined by the Code, to our stockholders. Taxable income from certain non-REIT activities is managed through TRSs and is subject to applicable U.S. federal, state, and local income and margin taxes. We had no significant taxes associated with our TRSs for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. We believe we qualify for taxation as a REIT under the Code, and we intend to continue to operate in such a manner, but no assurance can be given that we will operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT. NexPoint Homes elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, beginning with the year ended December 31, 2024.
We anticipate that we will continue to qualify to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and we intend to continue to be organized and to operate in a manner that will permit us to qualify as a REIT. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet certain organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to stockholders. As a REIT, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gain and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the sum of (1) 85% of our ordinary income, (2) 95% of our capital gain net income and (3) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years.
If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates, and dividends paid to our stockholders would not be deductible by us in computing taxable income. Any resulting corporate liability could be substantial and could materially and adversely affect our net income and net cash available for distribution to stockholders. Unless we were entitled to relief under certain Code provisions, we also would be disqualified from re-electing to be taxed as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we failed to qualify to be taxed as a REIT.
We evaluate the accounting and disclosure of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" (greater than 50%) of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold would be recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. Our management is required to analyze all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, for all major jurisdictions, which include federal and certain states. We have no examinations in progress and none are expected at this time.
We recognize our tax positions and evaluate them using a two-step process. First, we determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Second, we will determine the amount of benefit to recognize and record the amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement.
We had no material unrecognized tax benefit or expense, accrued interest or penalties as of March 31, 2026. We and our subsidiaries are subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income tax of various state and local jurisdictions. The 2024, 2023 and 2022 tax years remain open to examination by tax jurisdictions to which our subsidiaries and we are subject. When applicable, we recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Dividends
We intend to make regular quarterly dividend payments to holders of our Common Stock. We also intend to make the accrued dividend payments on the Series A Preferred Stock, which are payable quarterly in arrears as provided in the articles supplementary setting forth the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the accrued dividend payments on the Series B Preferred Stock, which are payable quarterly in arrears as provided in the articles supplementary setting forth the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock. U.S. federal income tax law generally requires that a REIT distribute annually at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. As a REIT, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on our undistributed REIT taxable income and net capital gains and to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on any amount by which distributions we pay with respect to any calendar year are less than the
sum of (1) 85% of our ordinary income, (2) 95% of our capital gain net income and (3) 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. We intend to make regular quarterly dividend payments of all or substantially all of our taxable income, which is not used to pay dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, to holders of our Common Stock out of assets legally available for this purpose, if and to the extent authorized by our Board. Before we make any dividend payments, whether for U.S. federal income tax purposes or otherwise, we must first meet both our operating requirements and debt service on our debt payable. If our cash available for distribution is less than our taxable income, we could be required to sell assets, borrow funds or raise additional capital to make cash dividends or we may make a portion of the required dividend in the form of a taxable distribution of stock or debt securities.
We will make dividend payments based on our estimate of taxable earnings per share of Common Stock, but not earnings calculated pursuant to GAAP. Our dividends and taxable income and GAAP earnings will typically differ due to items such as depreciation and amortization, fair value adjustments, differences in premium amortization and discount accretion, and non-deductible general and administrative expenses. Our dividends per share may be substantially different than our taxable earnings and GAAP earnings per share.
Inflation
The real estate market has not been affected significantly by inflation in the past several years due to increases in rents nationwide. The majority of our lease terms are for a period of one year or less and reset to market if renewed. The majority of our leases also contain protection provisions applicable to reimbursement billings for utilities. Due to the short-term nature of our leases, we do not believe our results will be materially affected.
Inflation may also affect the overall cost of debt, as the implied cost of capital increases. The Federal Reserve, in response to or in anticipation of continued inflation concerns, could raise interest rates. We intend to mitigate these risks through long-term fixed interest rate loans and interest rate derivatives, which to date have included interest rate cap and interest rate swap agreements.
Seasonality
We believe that our business and related operating results will be impacted by seasonal factors throughout the year. We experience higher levels of resident move-outs and move-ins during the late spring and summer months, which impacts both our rental revenues and related turnover costs. Furthermore, our property operating costs are seasonally impacted in certain markets for expenses such as repairs to heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems, turn costs and landscaping expenses during the summer season. Additionally, our SFR properties are at greater risk in certain markets for adverse weather conditions such as extreme cold weather in winter months and hurricanes in late summer months.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Management's discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We evaluate these judgments, assumptions and estimates for changes that would affect the reported amounts. These estimates are based on management's historical industry experience and on various other judgments and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these judgments, assumptions and estimates. Below is a discussion of the accounting policies that we consider critical to understanding our financial condition or results of operations where there is
uncertainty or where significant judgment is required. A discussion of recently issued accounting pronouncements and our significant accounting policies, including further discussion of the accounting policies described below, can be found in Note 2 "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" to our consolidated financial statements included in this report.
Real Estate Investments
Upon acquisition, we evaluate our acquired SFR properties for purposes of determining whether a transaction should be accounted for as an asset acquisition or business combination. Since substantially all of the fair value of our acquired properties is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets and the acquisitions do not include a substantive process, our purchases of homes or portfolios of homes qualify as asset acquisitions. Accordingly, upon acquisition of a property, the Total Consideration is allocated to land, buildings, improvements, fixtures, and intangible lease assets based upon their relative fair values.
The allocation of Total Consideration, which is determined using inputs that are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820 (see Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements), is based on an independent third-party valuation firm's estimate of the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, or management's internal analysis based on market knowledge obtained from historical transactions. The valuation methodology utilizes market comparable information, depreciated replacement cost and other estimates in allocating value to the tangible assets. The allocation of the Total Consideration to intangible lease assets represents the value associated with the in-place leases, as one month's worth of effective gross income (rental revenue, less credit loss allowance, plus other income) as the average downtime of the assets in the portfolio is approximately one month and the assets in the portfolio are leased on a gross rental structure. If any debt is assumed in an acquisition, the difference between the fair value, which is estimated using inputs that are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, and the face value of debt is recorded as a premium or discount and amortized or accreted as interest expense over the life of the debt assumed. The allocation of Total Consideration requires relying upon estimates and assessments of factors that are, at times, subject to significant uncertainty.
The allocation of Total Consideration to the various components of properties acquired during the year can have an effect on our net income/(loss) due to the useful depreciable and amortizable lives applicable to each component and the recognition of the related depreciation and amortization expense. For example, if a greater portion of the Total Consideration is allocated to land, which does not depreciate, our net income would be higher. Typically, we allocate between 10% to 30% of the Total Consideration to land.
Real estate assets, including land, buildings, improvements, fixtures, and intangible lease assets are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. Expenditures for improvements, renovations, and replacements are capitalized at cost. The Company also incurs costs to prepare acquired properties for rental. These 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, unless the renovation meets the Company's capitalization criteria.
Impairment
Real estate assets are reviewed for impairment quarterly or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Significant indicators of impairment may include, but are not limited to, declines in home values, changes in hold periods, rental rates or occupancy percentages, as well as significant changes in the economy. In such cases, the Company will evaluate the recoverability of the assets by comparing the estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of each asset to its carrying amount and provide for impairment if such undiscounted cash flows are insufficient to recover the carrying amount. If impaired, the real estate asset will be written down to its estimated fair value. The process whereby we assess our single-family rental homes for impairment
requires significant judgment and assessment of factors that are, at times, subject to significant uncertainty. During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, $8.3 million and $1.0 million of impairments on operating properties were recorded, respectively, which are included in loss on sales and impairment of real estate, net on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Implications of being an Emerging Growth Company
We are an "emerging growth company," as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (the " JOBS Act") and we are eligible to take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not "emerging growth companies" including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in our periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a non-binding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.
The JOBS Act permits an emerging growth company such as us to take advantage of an extended transition period to comply with new or revised accounting standards applicable to public companies. We have elected to take advantage of this extended transition period. As a result of this election, our financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates for such new or revised standards. We may elect to comply with public company effective dates at any time, and such election would be irrevocable pursuant to Section 107(b) of the JOBS Act.
We could remain an "emerging growth company" until the earliest of (1) the end of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of shares of our Common Stock pursuant to an effective registration statement, (2) the last day of the fiscal year in which our annual gross revenues exceed $1.235 billion, (3) the date that we become a "large accelerated filer" as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act, which would occur if the market value of our Common Stock that is held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the last business day of our most recently completed second fiscal quarter, or (4) the date on which we have issued more than $1 billion in non-convertible debt during the preceding three year period.
