DALLAS, Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NexPoint Residential Trust, Inc. ("NXRT" or the "Company") (NYSE: NXRT) announced today the closing of 17-property agency mortgage refinancings through J.P. Morgan Chase Bank ("JP Morgan").

With the closing of these 17 loan agreements, and together with the 17 loan agreements previously entered on October 1, 2024, the Company has refinanced 34 loans for total gross proceeds of $1.469 billion, which, in the aggregate, represents approximately 97.8% of the Company's total outstanding debt. Notably, NXRT agreed to refinance at interest rate pricing improved from prior terms. This refinancing activity extends the Company's weighted average debt maturity schedule to approximately 6.82 years (from approximately 5.54 years) – after this refinancing activity, debt maturing through 2028 equates to approximately 2.2% of total debt (down from approximately 33% previously).

Holistically, these refinancings are expected to reduce NXRT's weighted average interest rate on total debt by 48 bps to 5.65% 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 3.44% to 2.95%. With the completion of these refinancings, the Company has no meaningful debt maturities until 2028.

"NXRT is pleased to announce the completion of the second half of this significant refinancing initiative, continuing to fortify our balance sheet and strengthen our relationship with JP Morgan. We identified this refinancing opportunity early in the year and we are thrilled to deliver what we believe to be a building block for growth and an excellent result for shareholders." said Matt McGraner, Chief Investment Officer.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements
As of November 26, 2024, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk (dollars in thousands):

As of November 26, 2024 we had total indebtedness of $1.503 billion at an adjusted weighted average interest rate of 5.65%, of which $1.469 billion was debt with a floating interest rate. Interest rate swap agreements effectively covered 72.6% of our $1.469 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 November 26, 2024.
