“We are pleased to have delivered outstanding operating results in 2022. I want to thank my 2,400 hard-working colleagues across Equity Residential for all they do every day to delight our customers,” said Mark J. Parrell, Equity Residential’s President and CEO. “Turning to 2023, we have seen the year begin with the usual sequential improvement in demand and rate. We expect to again deliver above trend same store operating results driven by the momentum embedded in our rent roll from a stellar 2022, continuing solid demand and limited expense growth, but also expect the slowing economy to dampen intraperiod rent growth during 2023. Overall, the fundamentals of our business remain strong. Our affluent resident demographic remains highly employable with the unemployment rate for college graduates at 2%. We also see elevated home ownership costs and manageable competitive new apartment supply as further positive factors.”

Recent Highlights

  • The Company reported a 10.6% increase in same store revenue for the full year 2022 compared to the full year 2021, driven by strong demand. Same store expense growth for the full year 2022 compared to the full year 2021 was a moderate 3.6%, benefitting from favorable real estate tax growth and declines in payroll expense primarily due to the Company's various innovation and centralization initiatives.
  • The Company has provided full year 2023 guidance with same store revenue growth expected to be between 4.5% and 6.0%.
  • During 2022, the Company was a net seller of approximately $633.2 million of attractively priced non-core properties, the proceeds from which were utilized to pay down near-term debt maturities, reducing refinancing needs for 2023.
  • In October 2022, the Company further enhanced liquidity and financial flexibility by entering into a new $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in 2027 that replaces the prior facility of the same size that was set to mature in 2024.
  • The Company was recently recognized as one of America’s Most Responsible Companies for 2023 by Newsweek.

Full Year 2023 Guidance

The Company has provided guidance for its full year 2023 same store operating performance, EPS, FFO per share and Normalized FFO per share as listed below:

Same Store (includes Residential and Non-Residential):

Physical Occupancy

 

96.2%

Revenue change (1)

 

4.5% to 6.0%

Expense change

 

4.0% to 5.0%

Net Operating Income (NOI) change

 

4.75% to 6.25%

 

 

 

EPS (2)

 

$1.49 to $1.59

FFO per share (2)

 

$3.66 to $3.76

Normalized FFO per share (2)

 

$3.70 to $3.80

 

 

 

Transactions (3):

 

 

Consolidated rental acquisitions

 

Consolidated rental dispositions

 

(1)

We anticipate that revenue change will be negatively impacted by approximately 0.9% at the midpoint due to continuing elevated levels of forecasted Bad Debt, Net in 2023, as a result of a slower return to normal resident payment patterns due to local governmental restrictions primarily in California and a lack of governmental rental assistance.

(2)

The Company expects to incur additional casualty losses in the first quarter of 2023 related to Northern and Southern California rainstorms, estimates of which are included in guidance.

(3)

Given current uncertainty in the transaction environment, the Company's full year 2023 acquisition and disposition guidance reflects no anticipated activity.

The difference between the Company's full year 2022 actual EPS of $2.05 and the full year 2023 EPS guidance midpoint of $1.54 is due primarily to lower expected property sale gains and the items described below.

The difference between the Company's full year 2022 actual FFO of $3.53 per share and the full year 2023 FFO guidance midpoint of $3.71 per share is due primarily to the items described below.

The difference between the Company's full year 2022 actual Normalized FFO of $3.52 per share and the full year 2023 Normalized FFO guidance midpoint of $3.75 per share is due primarily to:

Results Per Share

The changes in EPS for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 are due primarily to lower property sale gains in the current periods, lower depreciation expense in the prior full year period, the various adjustment items listed on page 27 of this release and the items described below.

The per share changes in FFO for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 are due primarily to the various adjustment items listed on page 27 of this release and the items described below.

January 2023 results are preliminary.

“Our fourth quarter 2022 and January 2023 operating statistics reflect usual seasonal moderation patterns, though slightly more pronounced. We were, however, pleased that our New Lease Change performance remained positive in the fourth quarter of 2022 and in January 2023, contrary to historical patterns,” said Michael L. Manelis, Equity Residential’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “While it is very early in the year, we are seeing typical sequential improvement in rents and leasing activity with New Lease Change and Blended Rate in January 2023 higher as compared to December 2022, suggesting that the year is beginning in a way consistent with normal demand trends."

Investment Activity

The Company did not acquire any operating properties during the fourth quarter of 2022. During the full year of 2022, the Company acquired a 172-unit apartment property in San Diego, built in 2020, for $113.0 million at an Acquisition Cap Rate of 3.5% as well as two unconsolidated land parcels for future development for approximately $56.9 million.

The Company did not sell any properties during the fourth quarter of 2022. During the full year of 2022, the Company sold three properties for a total sale price of approximately $746.2 million at a weighted average Disposition Yield of 3.4%, generating an Unlevered IRR of 5.3%.

Capital Markets Activity

In October 2022, the Company settled all of its outstanding forward equity sales agreements under its At-The-Market (ATM) share offering program, which were entered into during the third quarter of 2021. As a result, it issued 1,740,550 common shares at $80.22 per share and received total proceeds of approximately $139.6 million.

Also in October 2022, the Company entered into a new $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement with a group of 19 financial institutions. The new facility matures October 26, 2027 and has an interest rate of SOFR plus a spread (currently 0.725%) and an annual facility fee (currently 0.125%). Both the spread and the facility fee are dependent on the credit rating of the Company’s long-term debt. This facility replaced the Company’s existing $2.5 billion facility, which was scheduled to mature in November 2024.

The quarter-over-quarter and year-over-year changes were primarily driven by the following factors:

Real estate taxes – Increase due to modest escalation in rates and assessed values.

On-site payroll – Year-over-year decrease due to improved sales and service staff utilization from various technology initiatives, higher than usual staffing vacancies during the current period and lower employee benefit-related costs. Quarter-over-quarter increase due primarily to timing of employee benefit-related costs and fewer staffing vacancies along with a challenging comparable period in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Utilities – Increase from gas and electric, primarily driven by higher commodity prices.

Repairs and maintenance – Increase primarily driven by volume and timing of maintenance and repairs, increases in minimum wage on contracted services along with a challenging comparable period in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Insurance – Increase due to higher premiums on property insurance renewal due to challenging conditions in the insurance market.

Leasing and advertising – Year-over-year decrease due primarily to reduction in use of outside residential brokers. Quarter-over-quarter decrease due primarily to reduction in use of outside residential brokers and reduction in advertising expense.

Other on-site operating expenses – Increase driven primarily by higher property-related legal expenses and higher ground lease-related expenses.

We anticipate that revenue change will be negatively impacted by approximately 0.9% at the midpoint due to continuing elevated levels of forecasted Bad Debt, Net in 2023, as a result of a slower return to normal resident payment patterns due to local governmental restrictions primarily in California and a lack of governmental rental assistance.

(2)

Approximately 20 basis point change in NOI percentage = $0.01 per share change in EPS/FFO per share/Normalized FFO per share.

Given the current uncertainty in the transaction environment, the Company's full year 2023 acquisition and disposition guidance reflects no anticipated activity.

(4)

During 2023, the Company expects to spend approximately $65.0 million for apartment unit Renovation Expenditures on approximately 2,700 same store apartment units at an average cost of approximately $24,000 per apartment unit renovated, which is included in the Capital Expenditures to Real Estate assumptions noted above.

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.

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 0.725%), 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. 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):

Forecasted Embedded Growth The positive or negative contribution to growth implied by annualizing total lease income anticipated for the last month of the current year (without regard to vacancy) compared to anticipated actual full year lease income for the current year (without regard to vacancy) and excluding the impact of Leasing Concessions and other income. This metric is a helpful data point in that it captures the impact of leases in existence at the end of the current year and their impact on rental income for the following year.

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") – 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 operating 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 (see Same Store Results):

Amounts for partially owned consolidated and unconsolidated properties are presented at 100% of the project.

Total Market Capitalization – The aggregate of the market value of the Company’s outstanding common shares, including restricted shares, the market value of the Company’s operating partnership units outstanding, including restricted units (based on the market value of the Company’s common shares) and the outstanding principal balance of debt. The Company believes this is 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.

Unencumbered NOI % – Represents NOI generated by consolidated real estate assets unencumbered by outstanding secured debt as a percentage of total NOI generated by all of the Company's consolidated real estate assets.

Unlevered Internal Rate of Return (“IRR”) – The Unlevered IRR on sold properties is the compound annual rate of return calculated by the Company based on the timing and amount of: (i) the gross purchase price of the property plus any direct acquisition costs incurred by the Company; (ii) total revenues earned during the Company’s ownership period; (iii) total direct property operating expenses (including real estate taxes and insurance) incurred during the Company’s ownership period; (iv) capital expenditures incurred during the Company’s ownership period; and (v) the gross sales price of the property net of selling costs.

The calculation of the Unlevered IRR does not include an adjustment for the Company’s property management expense, general and administrative expense or interest expense (including loan assumption costs and other loan-related costs). Therefore, the Unlevered IRR is not a substitute for net income as a measure of our performance. Management believes that the Unlevered IRR achieved during the period a property is owned by the Company is useful because it is one indication of the gross value created by the Company’s acquisition, development, renovation, management and ultimate sale of a property, before the impact of Company overhead. The Unlevered IRR achieved on the properties as cited in this release should not be viewed as an indication of the gross value created with respect to other properties owned by the Company, and the Company does not represent that it will achieve similar Unlevered IRRs upon the disposition of other properties. The weighted average Unlevered IRR for sold properties is weighted based on all cash flows over the investment period for each respective property, including net sales proceeds.

Weighted Average Coupons – Contractual interest rate for each debt instrument weighted by principal balances as of December 31, 2022. In case of debt for which fair value hedges are in place, the rate payable under the corresponding derivatives is used in lieu of the contractual interest rate.

Weighted Average Rates – Interest expense for each debt instrument for the year ended December 31, 2022 weighted by its average principal balance for the same period. Interest expense includes amortization of premiums, discounts and other comprehensive income on debt and related derivative instruments. In case of debt for which derivatives are in place, the income or expense recognized under the corresponding derivatives is included in the total interest expense for the period.
