NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. Completes Refinancings of 17 Properties With 17 Additional Refinancings Expected to Close on November 29th, Sale of Stone Creek at Old Farm, and Announces 3Q 2024 Earnings Call on October 29, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. ET

DALLAS, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. ("NXRT" or the "Company") (NYSE: NXRT) announced today the closing of 17-property mortgage refinancings through J.P. Morgan Chase Bank ("JP Morgan") and The Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ("Freddie Mac"), the sale of Stone Creek at Old Farm, and the Company is scheduled to host a conference call on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. ET (10:00 a.m. CT), to discuss third quarter 2024 financial results.  

The Company entered into 17 loan agreements and expects to enter into 17 additional loan agreements on November 29, 2024, for total gross proceeds of $1.466 billion, which, in the aggregate, will represent ~ 97.7% of the Company's total outstanding debt. Notably, NXRT agreed to refinance at interest rate pricing improved (SOFR + 109 bps) from prior terms. This refinancing activity extends the Company's weighted average debt maturity schedule to ~7.0 years (from ~5.69 years) – after this refinancing activity, debt maturing through 2028 equates to ~2.3% of total debt (down from ~33% previously).

Holistically, these refinancings are expected to reduce NXRT's weighted average interest rate on total debt by 48 bps to 6.21% before the impact of interest rate swap contracts. Accounting for the hedging impact of the swaps, NXRT's adjusted weighted average interest rate is expected to be reduced from 3.64% to 3.16%. With the completion of these refinancings, the Company has no meaningful debt maturities until 2028.

The Company also closed on the sale of Stone Creek at Old Farm in Houston, TX, a 190-unit property built in 1998. The property was acquired for $23.3 million on December 29, 2016, and has provided consistent operational and cash flow performance for the portfolio for the last 7+ years.  As of September 30, 2024, the property was 96.31% leased with a weighted average effective monthly rent of approximately $1,322.  Net proceeds from the sale were approximately $23.7M, delivering a trailing nominal tax and insurance adjusted cap rate of 5.25% and a 2.19x multiple on invested capital.

The Company is scheduled to host a conference call on Tuesday, October 29, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. ET (10:00 a.m. CT), to discuss third quarter 2024 financial results. The conference call can be accessed live over the phone by dialing 888-660-4430 or, for international callers, +1 646-960-0537 and using passcode Conference ID: 5001576.  A live audio webcast of the call will be available online at the Company's website, https://nxrt.nexpoint.com (under "Resources").  An online replay will be available shortly after the call on the Company's website and continue to be available for 60 days.

The Company plans to issue a press release with third quarter 2024 financial results before market open on Tuesday, October 29, 2024.

"NXRT is delighted to announce the completion of this significant refinancing initiative, fortifying our balance sheet and growing our relationship with JP Morgan and Freddie Mac. We identified an opportunity to capitalize on the slowdown in 'Mission Driven' agency debt production heading into the second half of 2024, leveraging our deep relationships and Select Sponsor status with Freddie Mac to drive the best execution and deliver an excellent result for shareholders. The sale of Stone Creek completes our stated goal of exiting the Houston market. We look forward to talking about the impact of the refinance and sale of Stone Creek on a 3Q earnings call on October 29^th." said Matt McGraner, Chief Investment Officer.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

As of October 1, 2024, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (dollars in thousands):

(1)  The floating rate option for the interest rate swaps is daily compounded average of SOFR plus 0.11448% adjustment ("Adjusted SOFR"). As of October 1, 2024, Adjusted SOFR was 5.07%.
(2)  Represents the weighted average fixed rate of the interest rate swaps.

As of October 1, 2024 and after giving effect to the closing of the additional 17-property mortgage refinancing, we had total indebtedness of $1.50 billion at an adjusted weighted average interest rate of 6.21%, of which $1.466 billion was debt with a floating interest rate. As of October 1, 2024 and after giving effect to the closing of the additional 17-property mortgage refinancing, interest rate swap agreements effectively covered 72.8% of our $1.466 billion of floating rate mortgage debt outstanding. For purposes of calculating the adjusted weighted average interest rate of the total indebtedness, we have included the weighted average fixed rate of 0.9807% for Adjusted SOFR on the $1.1 billion notional amount of interest rate swap agreements that we have entered into as of October 1, 2024.
