NEWS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE    


OCTOBER 24, 2012

Equity Residential Reports Third Quarter Results
Same Store Revenues Increase 5.8%; Same Store NOI Increases 7.4%;
Normalized FFO per Share Increases 17.7%

Chicago, IL - October 24, 2012 - Equity Residential (NYSE: EQR) today reported results for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2012. All per share results are reported as available to common shares on a diluted basis.

“We continue to experience strong fundamentals across our markets and turned consistent demand into terrific same store revenue growth of 5.8% in the third quarter,” said David J. Neithercut, Equity Residential's President and CEO. “For the full year, we expect to deliver 5.6% same store revenue growth, slightly ahead of our original plan and a very good result following growth of 5.0% in 2011. Fundamentals should remain favorable in 2013 which should produce same store revenue growth of 4.0% to 5.0%.”

Third Quarter 2012
FFO (Funds from Operations), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), for the third quarter of 2012 was $0.92 per share compared to $0.63 per share in the third quarter of 2011. The difference is primarily due to a termination fee of $70 million, or $0.22 per share, that the company received in connection with its pursuit of Archstone, as well as the items discussed below.

For the third quarter of 2012, the company reported Normalized FFO of $0.73 per share compared to $0.62 per share in the same period of 2011. The difference is due primarily to:

a positive impact of $0.07 per share from higher same store net operating income (NOI) and $0.01 per share from higher NOI from properties in lease up; and

a positive impact of $0.03 per share from 2011 and 2012 transaction activity and timing.

Normalized FFO begins with FFO and eliminates certain items that by their nature are not comparable from period to period or that tend to obscure the company's actual operating performance. A reconciliation and definition of Normalized FFO are provided on pages 24 and 26 of this release and the company has included guidance for Normalized FFO on page 25 of this release.

For the third quarter of 2012, the company reported earnings of $0.72 per share compared to $0.35 per share in the third quarter of 2011. The difference is due primarily to higher gains on property sales, the Archstone-related fee and the other items discussed above.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2012
FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $2.16 per share compared to $1.77 per share in the same period of 2011.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the company reported Normalized FFO of $2.02 per share compared to $1.78 per share in the same period of 2011.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the company reported earnings of $1.52 per share compared to $2.62 per share in the same period of 2011.

Same Store Results
On a same store third quarter to third quarter comparison, which includes 105,902 apartment units, revenues increased 5.8%, expenses increased 2.9% and NOI increased 7.4%.

On a same store nine-month to nine-month comparison, which includes 102,241 apartment units, revenues increased 5.5%, expenses increased 2.2% and NOI increased 7.4%.

Acquisitions/Dispositions
During the third quarter of 2012, the company acquired four properties with a total of 540 apartment units for an aggregate purchase price of $236.3 million at a weighted average capitalization (cap) rate of 4.3%.

Also during the quarter, the company acquired, for future development, two land parcels in Seattle and one in Southern California for an aggregate purchase price of $38.5 million. The company expects to start construction in early 2014 of 640 apartment units on the Seattle land parcels for a total development cost of approximately $226.0 million. The company expects to start construction in 2014 of 154 apartment units on the Southern California land parcel for a total development cost of approximately $43.2 million.

During the quarter, the company sold eight properties, consisting of 2,153 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of $280.7 million at a weighted average cap rate of 6.0%. These sales, excluding two leveraged, partially-owned assets sold during the quarter, generated an unlevered internal rate of return (IRR), inclusive of management costs, of 10.2%.

During the first nine months of 2012, the company acquired nine properties with a total of 1,896 apartment units for an aggregate purchase price of $906.3 million at a weighted average cap rate of 4.7% and five land parcels for $62.2 million.

Also during the first nine months of 2012, the company sold 20 properties with a total of 5,337 apartment units for an aggregate sale price of $616.9 million at a weighted average cap rate of 6.2%. These sales, excluding two leveraged, partially-owned assets sold during the third quarter, generated an unlevered IRR, inclusive of management costs, of 10.8%.

Archstone
As previously disclosed, on June 6, 2012, Equity Residential received $150 million in termination fees from Bank of America, Barclays Bank PLC (together, the “Sellers”) and Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman”) as a result of Lehman's acquisition of the Sellers' remaining 26.5% interest in Archstone, a privately-held owner, operator and developer of multifamily apartment properties. The company recognized $70 million of these fees in interest and other income in the third quarter of 2012 and will recognize $80 million of these fees in interest and other income in the fourth quarter of 2012. These termination fees will not be included in the company's Normalized FFO.

Financing Activities
On August 20, 2012, the company redeemed all of its outstanding Series N Depositary Shares (with a liquidation value of $150 million) each representing 1/10 of a 6.48% Series N Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share of Beneficial Interest. As a result of this redemption, the company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $5.1 million, or approximately $0.02 per share, in the third quarter of 2012 for the write-off of the original issuance costs. This charge reduced earnings per share and FFO but did not impact Normalized FFO.

During the quarter, the company issued 1,095,609 common shares at an average price of $62.70 per share for total proceeds of approximately $68.7 million under its At-the-Market (ATM) share offering program. Since the beginning of 2012, the company has issued 3,173,919 common shares at an average price of $60.59 per share for total proceeds of approximately $192.3 million under the program. The company has not issued any shares under the program since the end of the third quarter and currently has approximately 6.0 million shares available for issuance under this program.

On October 1, 2012, the company redeemed the approximately $222.1 million outstanding of its 5.5% unsecured notes which matured on that date and on October 5, 2012, the company paid off its $500 million Term Loan which matured on that date. Both of these activities were funded from the company's revolving credit facility. As of October 23, 2012, the company had an outstanding balance of $850 million and approximately $870 million available on its revolving credit facility.

Fourth Quarter 2012 Guidance
The company has established a Normalized FFO guidance range of $0.72 to $0.76 per share for the fourth quarter of 2012. The difference between the company's third quarter 2012 Normalized FFO of $0.73 per share and the midpoint of the fourth quarter guidance range of $0.74 per share is primarily due to:

a positive impact of $0.02 per share from higher same store NOI;

a positive impact of $0.01 per share from lower interest expense and preferred share distributions; and

a negative impact of $0.02 per share from 2011 and 2012 transaction activity and timing and other items.

Full Year 2012 Guidance
The company has revised its guidance for its full year 2012 same store operating performance, transactions and Normalized FFO results as well as other items listed on page 25 of this release. The changes to the full year same store, transactions and Normalized FFO guidance are listed below:

The Company's primary financial measure for evaluating each of its apartment communities is net operating income ("NOI"). NOI represents rental income less property and maintenance expense, real estate tax and insurance expense and property management expense. 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 communities. See page 26 for reconciliations from operating income.
(2)
Average rental rate is defined as total rental revenues divided by the weighted average occupied apartment units for the period.

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines funds from operations ("FFO") (April 2002 White Paper) as net income (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP")), excluding gains (or losses) from sales and impairment write-downs of depreciable operating properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. The April 2002 White Paper states that gain or loss on sales of property is excluded from FFO for previously depreciated operating properties only. Once the Company commences the conversion of apartment units to condominiums, it simultaneously discontinues depreciation of such property.

Normalized funds from operations ("Normalized FFO") begins with FFO and excludes:
 
• the impact of any expenses relating to non-operating asset impairment and valuation allowances;
 
• property acquisition and other transaction costs related to mergers and acquisitions and pursuit cost write-offs (other expenses);
 
• gains and losses from early debt extinguishment, including prepayment penalties, preferred share redemptions and the cost related to the implied option value of non-cash convertible debt discounts;
 
• gains and losses on the sales of non-operating assets, including gains and losses from land parcel and condominium sales, net of the effect of income tax benefits or expenses; and
 
• other miscellaneous non-comparable items.

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 related to dispositions of depreciable property and excluding real estate depreciation (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. The company also 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 accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. 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.

Earnings represents net income per share calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Expected earnings is calculated on a basis consistent with actual earnings. Due to the uncertain timing and extent of property dispositions and the resulting gains/losses on sales, actual earnings could differ materially from expected earnings.
