Recent Highlights
- During the third quarter of 2024, the Company acquired fourteen
properties, consisting of 4,418 apartment units, for an aggregate
acquisition price of approximately $1.26 billion at a weighted
average Acquisition Cap Rate of 5.1%. These assets are located in
the Company’s Expansion Markets of Atlanta, Dallas/Ft. Worth and
Denver.
- In September of 2024, the Company issued $600.0 million of
unsecured 10-year notes at a coupon rate of 4.65%, the lowest
10-year coupon rate issued by a REIT since 2022, and an all-in
effective yield of 4.9%. Proceeds from this issuance were used to
partially fund the acquisitions described above.
- Same store revenue increased 2.7% for the third quarter of 2024
compared to the third quarter of 2023, driven by good demand and
modest supply across most of the Company’s markets. Same store
expense increased 3.2% with low growth in the primary expense
categories. Same store Net Operating Income (NOI) increased
2.5%.
- The Company published its 11th annual Corporate Responsibility
report highlighting Equity Residential’s goals and
accomplishments.
“We delivered solid same store revenue results in the quarter
with the underlying drivers mostly in line with expectations. Our
business continues to benefit from high employment levels among our
well earning resident base, wage growth across the economy and
limited home ownership and rental options in most of our markets,
making our well-located apartment properties an appealing choice,"
said Mark J. Parrell, Equity Residential’s President and CEO.
“Looking ahead, we continue to be excited about the prospects for
our business as lower levels of competitive new supply in future
years, especially in our Established Markets on the coasts, along
with a positive forward employment picture for our higher earning
customer, positions us well to continue to grow cash flows.”

Blended Rates for Established Markets were
2.4% and 3.3% for Q3 2024 and Q2 2024, respectively. See page
17.
In the third quarter of 2024, Physical Occupancy and Percentage
of Residents Renewing exceeded expectations while Renewal Rate
Achieved remained strong. In September 2024, New Lease Change, a
volatile metric, seasonally decelerated more quickly than
anticipated, primarily due to weakness in the city of Los Angeles
and in our Expansion Markets, leading to Blended Rates at the low
end of the Company's expected range for the third quarter of 2024.
Blended Rate has normalized with typical seasonal patterns thus far
in the fourth quarter of 2024 and is expected to be between 0.75%
and 1.25% for the fourth quarter of 2024.
Investment Activity
During the third quarter of 2024, the Company acquired 14
properties consisting of 4,418 apartment units, located in the
Company’s Expansion Markets of Atlanta, Dallas/Ft. Worth and
Denver, for an aggregate acquisition price of approximately $1.26
billion at a weighted average Acquisition Cap Rate of 5.1%. The
acquired properties are seven years old on average. Subsequent to
the end of the third quarter of 2024, the Company acquired a two
year old, 274 apartment unit property in suburban Atlanta for a
purchase price of $89.5 million. During the third quarter of 2024,
the Company sold a 63 year old property, located in Washington,
D.C., consisting of 138 apartment units, for a sale price of
approximately $31.5 million at a Disposition Yield of 6.1%.
During the first nine months of 2024, the Company acquired 15
properties, consisting of 4,578 apartment units, for an aggregate
purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion at a weighted average
Acquisition Cap Rate of 5.1%. The acquired properties are six years
old on average. Also during the first nine months of 2024, the
Company sold six properties consisting of 969 apartment units, for
an aggregate sale price of approximately $365.5 million at a
weighted average Disposition Yield of 5.7%. The properties sold
during 2024 have an average age of 43 years.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has 42 properties
(including those under development) located in its Expansion
Markets of Atlanta, Austin, Dallas/Ft. Worth and Denver, which
constitutes approximately 10% of total portfolio NOI.
“We are seeing an increasingly active transaction market
providing us with opportunities to acquire properties in our
Expansion Markets at attractive prices relative to replacement
costs and at reasonable cap rates on depressed rent rolls as we
execute on our strategy to better balance our portfolio,” said Alec
Brackenridge, Equity Residential's Executive Vice President and
Chief Investment Officer. “We are continuing to build a portfolio
in the metro areas on the coasts and in select markets in the
sunbelt that are most desirable to our target affluent renter
demographic and have favorable long-term return
characteristics.”
Capital Markets Activity
On September 11, 2024, the Company closed on the issuance of
$600.0 million of 10-year unsecured notes at a coupon rate of
4.65%, which is the lowest 10-year coupon rate issued by a REIT
since 2022, and an all-in effective yield of 4.9%. Proceeds from
the offering were used to partially fund the Company’s acquisition
activity during the quarter.
Fourth Quarter 2024 Guidance
The Company has established guidance ranges for the fourth
quarter of 2024 EPS, FFO per share and Normalized FFO per share as
listed below:
Q4 2024 Guidance
EPS
$1.01 to $1.05
FFO per share
$0.95 to $0.99
Normalized FFO per share
$0.98 to $1.02
The difference between the third quarter of 2024 actual EPS of
$0.38 and the fourth quarter of 2024 EPS guidance midpoint of $1.03
is due primarily to higher expected property sale gains, higher
expected depreciation expense, lower expected non-operating asset
gains and the items described below.
The difference between the third quarter of 2024 actual FFO of
$0.99 per share and the fourth quarter of 2024 FFO guidance
midpoint of $0.97 per share is due primarily to lower expected
non-operating asset gains and the items described below.
The difference between the third quarter of 2024 actual
Normalized FFO of $0.98 per share and the fourth quarter of 2024
Normalized FFO guidance midpoint of $1.00 per share is due
primarily to:

The year-over-year changes were primarily
driven by the following factors:
Real estate taxes – Increase due to
escalation in rates and assessed values including an approximately
one percentage point contribution to growth from 421-a tax
abatement burnoffs in New York City. Once the burnoffs are
completed, previously rent-restricted apartment units will
transition to market.
On-site payroll – No change as higher
wages were offset by the impact of various innovation
initiatives.
Utilities – Increase primarily driven by
higher water, sewer and trash expense, partially offset by lower
commodity prices for gas and electric.
Repairs and maintenance – Modest growth
benefiting from lower resident Turnover compared to the same period
of 2023.
Insurance – Increase due to higher
premiums on property insurance renewal due to conditions in the
insurance market that while less difficult than recent years,
remain challenging.
Other on-site operating expenses –
Increase primarily driven by higher property-related legal
expenses.

approximately 40% of its Capital Expenditures to Real Estate for
Same Store Properties will be NOI-Enhancing (primarily renovations,
sustainability and property-level technology spend). During 2024,
the Company expects to spend approximately $99.2 million for
apartment unit Renovation Expenditures on approximately 3,100 same
store apartment units at an average cost of approximately $32,000
per apartment unit renovated with the remainder of the
NOI-Enhancing spend consisting of sustainability and property-level

Additional Reconciliations and
Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms
(Amounts in thousands except per
share and per apartment unit data)
(All per share data is
diluted)
This Earnings Release and Supplemental Financial Information
includes certain non-GAAP financial measures and other terms that
management believes are helpful in understanding our business. The
definitions and calculations of these non-GAAP financial measures
and other terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies
used by other real estate investment trusts (“REIT”) and,
accordingly, may not be comparable. These non-GAAP financial
measures should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings
or any other measurement of performance computed in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
(“GAAP”) or as an alternative to cash flows from specific
operating, investing or financing activities. Furthermore, these
non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a measure of
cash flow or liquidity.
Acquisition Capitalization Rate or Cap Rate – NOI that
the Company anticipates receiving in the next 12 months (or the
year two or three stabilized NOI for properties that are in
lease-up at acquisition) less an estimate of property management
costs/management fees allocated to the project (generally ranging
from 2.0% to 4.0% of revenues depending on the size and income
streams of the asset) and less an estimate for in-the-unit
replacement capital expenditures (generally ranging from $100-$450
per apartment unit depending on the age and condition of the asset)
divided by the gross purchase price of the asset. The weighted
average Acquisition Cap Rate for acquired properties is weighted
based on the projected NOI streams and the relative purchase price
for each respective property.
Average Rental Rate – Total Residential rental revenues
reflected on a straight-line basis in accordance with GAAP divided
by the weighted average occupied apartment units for the reporting
period presented.
Bad Debt, Net – Change in rental income due to bad debt
write-offs and reserves, net of amounts collected on previously
written-off or reserved accounts.
Blended Rate – The weighted average of New Lease Change
and Renewal Rate Achieved.
Capital Expenditures to Real
Estate:
Building Improvements – Includes roof
replacement, paving, building mechanical equipment systems,
exterior siding and painting, major landscaping, furniture,
fixtures and equipment for amenities and common areas, vehicles and
office and maintenance equipment.
NOI-Enhancing – Primarily includes
Renovation Expenditures as well as sustainability and
property-level technology expenditures that are intended to
increase revenues or decrease expenses.
Recurring – Capital expenditures
necessary to help preserve the value of and maintain the
functionality at our apartment properties.
Renovation Expenditures – Apartment
unit renovation costs (primarily kitchens and baths) designed to
reposition these units for higher rental levels in their respective
markets.
Replacements – Includes appliances,
mechanical equipment, fixtures and flooring (including hardwood and
carpeting).
Debt Balances:
Commercial Paper Program – The Company
may borrow up to a maximum of $1.0 billion under its Commercial
Paper Program subject to market conditions. The notes bear interest
at various floating rates.
Revolving Credit Facility – The
Company’s $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility matures
October 26, 2027. The interest rate on advances under the facility
will generally be SOFR plus a spread (currently 0.715%), or based
on bids received from the lending group, and an annual facility fee
(currently 0.125%). Both the spread and the facility fee are
dependent on the Company’s senior unsecured credit rating and other
terms and conditions per the agreement. In addition, the Company
limits its utilization of the facility in order to maintain
liquidity to support its $1.0 billion Commercial Paper Program
along with certain other obligations. The following table presents
the availability on the Company’s unsecured revolving credit
facility:

Debt Covenant Compliance – Our unsecured debt includes
certain financial and operating covenants including, among other
things, maintenance of certain financial ratios. These provisions
are contained in the indentures applicable to each notes payable or
the credit agreement for our line of credit. The Debt Covenant
Compliance ratios that are provided show the Company's compliance
with certain covenants governing our public unsecured debt. These
covenants generally reflect our most restrictive financial
covenants. The Company was in compliance with its unsecured debt
covenants for all periods presented.
Development Yield – NOI that the Company anticipates
receiving in the next 12 months following stabilization less an
estimate of property management costs/management fees allocated to
the project (generally ranging from 2.0% to 4.0% of revenues
depending on the size and income streams of the asset) and less an
estimate for in-the-unit replacement capital expenditures
(generally ranging from $50-$150 per apartment unit depending on
the type of asset) divided by the Total Budgeted Capital Cost of
the asset. The weighted average Development Yield for development
properties is weighted based on the projected NOI streams and the
relative Total Budgeted Capital Cost for each respective
property.
Disposition Yield – NOI that the Company anticipates
giving up in the next 12 months less an estimate of property
management costs/management fees allocated to the project
(generally ranging from 2.0% to 4.0% of revenues depending on the
size and income streams of the asset) and less an estimate for
in-the-unit replacement capital expenditures (generally ranging
from $150-$450 per apartment unit depending on the age and
condition of the asset) divided by the gross sales price of the
asset. The weighted average Disposition Yield for sold properties
is weighted based on the projected NOI streams and the relative
sales price for each respective property.
Earnings Per Share ("EPS") – Net income per share
calculated in accordance with GAAP. Expected EPS is calculated on a
basis consistent with actual EPS. Due to the uncertain timing and
extent of property dispositions and the resulting gains/losses on
sales, actual EPS could differ materially from expected EPS.
EBITDA for Real Estate and Normalized
EBITDA for Real Estate:
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes,
Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”) –
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts
(“Nareit”) defines EBITDAre (September 2017 White Paper) as net
income (computed in accordance with GAAP) before interest expense,
income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and further
adjusted for gains and losses from sales of depreciated operating
properties, impairment write-downs of depreciated operating
properties, impairment write-downs of investments in unconsolidated
entities caused by a decrease in value of depreciated operating
properties within the joint venture and adjustments to reflect the
Company’s share of EBITDAre of investments in unconsolidated
entities.
The Company believes that EBITDAre is useful
to investors, creditors and rating agencies as a supplemental
measure of the Company’s ability to incur and service debt because
it is a recognized measure of performance by the real estate
industry, and by excluding gains or losses related to sales or
impairment of depreciated operating properties, EBITDAre can help
compare the Company’s credit strength between periods or as
compared to different companies.
Normalized Earnings Before Interest,
Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“Normalized
EBITDAre”) – Represents net income (computed in accordance with
GAAP) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization expense, and further adjusted for non-comparable
items. Normalized EBITDAre, total debt to Normalized EBITDAre and
net debt to Normalized EBITDAre are important metrics in evaluating
the credit strength of the Company and its ability to service its
debt obligations. The Company believes that Normalized EBITDAre,
total debt to Normalized EBITDAre, and net debt to Normalized
EBITDAre are useful to investors, creditors and rating agencies
because they allow investors to compare the Company’s credit
strength to prior reporting periods and to other companies without
the effect of items that by their nature are not comparable from
period to period and tend to obscure the Company’s actual credit
quality.
Economic Gain (Loss) – Economic Gain (Loss) is calculated
as the net gain (loss) on sales of real estate properties in
accordance with GAAP, excluding accumulated depreciation. The
Company generally considers Economic Gain (Loss) to be an
appropriate supplemental measure to net gain (loss) on sales of
real estate properties in accordance with GAAP because it is one
indication of the gross value created by the Company's acquisition,
development, renovation, management and ultimate sale of a property
and because it helps investors to understand the relationship
between the cash proceeds from a sale and the cash invested in the
sold property. The following table presents a reconciliation of net
gain (loss) on sales of real estate properties in accordance with
GAAP to Economic Gain (Loss):

(Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego).
Expansion Markets – Includes Denver, Atlanta, Dallas/Ft.
Worth and Austin.
FFO and Normalized FFO:
Funds From Operations (“FFO”) – Nareit
defines FFO (December 2018 White Paper) as net income (computed in
accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales and
impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate and land when
connected to the main business of a REIT, impairment write-downs of
investments in entities when the impairment is directly
attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate
held by the entity and depreciation and amortization related to
real estate. Adjustments for partially owned consolidated and
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to
reflect FFO on the same basis. Expected FFO per share is calculated
on a basis consistent with actual FFO per share and is considered
an appropriate supplemental measure of expected operating
performance when compared to expected EPS.
The Company believes that FFO and FFO
available to Common Shares and Units are helpful to investors as
supplemental measures of the operating performance of a real estate
company, because they are recognized measures of performance by the
real estate industry and by excluding gains or losses from sales
and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate and excluding
depreciation related to real estate (which can vary among owners of
identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost
accounting and useful life estimates), FFO and FFO available to
Common Shares and Units can help compare the operating performance
of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to
different companies.
Normalized Funds From Operations
("Normalized FFO" or "NFFO") – Normalized FFO begins with FFO
and excludes:
- the impact of any expenses relating to non-operating real
estate asset impairment;
- pursuit cost write-offs;
- gains and losses from early debt extinguishment and preferred
share redemptions;
- gains and losses from non-operating assets; and
- other miscellaneous items.
Expected Normalized FFO per share is
calculated on a basis consistent with actual Normalized FFO per
share and is considered an appropriate supplemental measure of
expected operating performance when compared to expected EPS.
The Company believes that Normalized FFO and
Normalized FFO available to Common Shares and Units are helpful to
investors as supplemental measures of the operating performance of
a real estate company because they allow investors to compare the
Company's operating performance to its performance in prior
reporting periods and to the operating performance of other real
estate companies without the effect of items that by their nature
are not comparable from period to period and tend to obscure the
Company's actual operating results.
FFO, FFO available to Common Shares and
Units, Normalized FFO and Normalized FFO available to Common Shares
and Units do not represent net income, net income available to
Common Shares or net cash flows from operating activities in
accordance with GAAP. Therefore, FFO, FFO available to Common
Shares and Units, Normalized FFO and Normalized FFO available to
Common Shares and Units should not be exclusively considered as
alternatives to net income, net income available to Common Shares
or net cash flows from operating activities as determined by GAAP
or as a measure of liquidity. The Company's calculation of FFO, FFO
available to Common Shares and Units, Normalized FFO and Normalized
FFO available to Common Shares and Units may differ from other real
estate companies due to, among other items, variations in cost
capitalization policies for capital expenditures and, accordingly,
may not be comparable to such other real estate companies.
FFO available to Common Shares and Units and
Normalized FFO available to Common Shares and Units are calculated
on a basis consistent with net income available to Common Shares
and reflects adjustments to net income for preferred distributions
and premiums on redemption of preferred shares in accordance with
GAAP. The equity positions of various individuals and entities that
contributed their properties to the Operating Partnership in
exchange for OP Units are collectively referred to as the
"Noncontrolling Interests – Operating Partnership". Subject to
certain restrictions, the Noncontrolling Interests – Operating
Partnership may exchange their OP Units for Common Shares on a
one-for-one basis.

Lease-Up NOI – Represents NOI for development properties:
(i) in various stages of lease-up; and (ii) where lease-up has been
completed but the properties were not stabilized (defined as having
achieved 90% occupancy for three consecutive months) for all of the
current and comparable periods presented.
Leasing Concessions – Reflects upfront discounts on both
new move-in and renewal leases on a straight-line basis.
Net Operating Income (“NOI”) – NOI is the Company’s
primary financial measure for evaluating each of its apartment
properties. NOI is defined as rental income less direct property
operating expenses (including real estate taxes and insurance). The
Company believes that NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental
measure of its operating performance because it is a direct measure
of the actual operating results of the Company's apartment
properties. NOI does not include an allocation of property
management expenses either in the current or comparable periods.
Rental income for all leases and operating expense for ground
leases (for both same store and non-same store properties) are
reflected on a straight-line basis in accordance with GAAP for the
current and comparable periods.
The following tables present reconciliations of net income per
the consolidated statements of operations to NOI, along with rental
income, operating expenses and NOI per the consolidated statements
of operations allocated between same store and non-same store/other
results and further allocated between Residential same store and
Non-Residential same store results (see Same Store Results):

a useful measure of a real estate operating company’s long-term
liquidity and balance sheet strength, because it shows an
approximate relationship between a company’s total debt and the
current total market value of its assets based on the current price
at which the Company’s common shares trade. However, because this
measure of leverage changes with fluctuations in the Company’s
share price, which occur regularly, this measure may change even
when the Company’s earnings, interest and debt levels remain
stable.

lieu of the contractual interest rate.
Weighted Average Rates – Interest expense for each debt
instrument for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 weighted by
its average principal balance for the same period. Interest expense
