Equity Residential Reports Second Quarter 2016 Results
Revises Full Year Financial and Operating Guidance

Chicago, IL - July 26, 2016 - Equity Residential (NYSE: EQR) today reported results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2016. All per share results are reported as available to common shares/units on a diluted basis.

“After five consecutive years of exceptional fundamentals, elevated levels of new supply and slowing growth of higher paying jobs in San Francisco and New York have created headwinds that cause us to reduce our revenue growth expectations to be more in line with long term historical trends,” said David J. Neithercut, Equity Residential’s President and CEO. 

Highlights in the Quarter:

Increased same store revenues 4.2%, which, combined with same store expense growth of 1.7% produced an increase in same store net operating income (NOI) of 5.3%.

Completed the development of three apartment properties in San Francisco, consisting of 1,355 apartment units, for a total capital cost of approximately $726.9 million.

Started the development, for delivery in late 2018, of a 222-unit apartment property in Washington, DC, which has an estimated total capital cost of approximately $88.0 million.

Sold three consolidated apartment properties, consisting of 728 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of approximately $112.5 million at a weighted average Disposition Yield of 5.7% and generating an Unlevered Internal Rate of Return (Unlevered IRR) of 9.3%.

Sold the Company’s entire interest in the management contracts and related rights associated with the military housing ventures at Joint Base Lewis McChord in Washington State, for approximately $63.3 million, generating a gain on sale of approximately $52.4 million.

Second Quarter 2016
Earnings Per Share (EPS) for the second quarter of 2016 was $0.59 compared to $0.78 in the second quarter of 2015. The difference is due primarily to lower gains on property sales and lower depreciation expense in the second quarter of 2016.

FFO (Funds from Operations), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), was $0.90 per share for both the second quarter of 2016 and 2015.

Normalized FFO for the second quarter of 2016 was $0.76 per share compared to $0.85 per share in the second quarter of 2015. The following items impacted Normalized FFO per share in the quarter:

a positive impact of approximately $0.05 per share from increased same store NOI;

a positive impact of approximately $0.03 per share from NOI from non-same store properties currently in lease-up;

a positive impact of approximately $0.06 per share from lower total interest expense;

a negative impact of approximately $0.21 per share of lower NOI primarily as a result of the Company’s 2016 disposition activity; and

a negative impact of approximately $0.02 per share from other items, including higher general and administrative expense.

Reconciliations and definitions of FFO and Normalized FFO are provided on pages 6, 27 and 28 of this release and the Company has included guidance for Normalized FFO on page 25 and FFO and EPS on page 28 of this release.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2016
EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $10.36 compared to $1.27 for the same period of 2015. The difference is due primarily to a higher amount of property sale gains due to significantly more property sales in the first six months of 2016 and the various adjustment items listed on page 24 of this release.

FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $1.37 per share compared to $1.68 per share in the same period of 2015.

Normalized FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was $1.52 per share compared to $1.64 per share for the same period of 2015.

Same Store Results
On a same store second quarter to second quarter comparison, which includes 72,781 apartment units, revenues increased 4.2%, expenses increased 1.7% and NOI increased 5.3%. Average Rental Rate increased 4.0% and occupancy increased 0.1%.

On a same store six-month to six-month comparison, which includes 72,494 apartment units, revenues increased 4.4%, expenses increased 0.9% and NOI increased 5.9%. Average Rental Rate increased 4.3% and occupancy remained flat at 96.1%.

Investment Activity
The Company acquired no properties during the second quarter of 2016 and sold the three assets discussed on the first page of this release.
 
During the first six months of 2016, the Company acquired three consolidated apartment properties, consisting of 479 apartment units, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $204.1 million at a weighted average Acquisition Capitalization Rate of 4.9%. During the first six months of 2016, the Company sold 83 consolidated apartment properties, consisting of 26,890 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of approximately $6.43 billion, generating an Unlevered IRR of 11.8%. The weighted average Disposition Yield on these sales is estimated at 5.3%.

Third Quarter 2016 Guidance
The Company has established an EPS guidance range of $0.62 to $0.66 for the third quarter of 2016. The difference between the Company’s second quarter 2016 EPS of $0.59 and the midpoint of the third quarter 2016 guidance range of $0.64 is due primarily to higher gains on property sales, lower gains on sales of non-operating assets and the items described below.

The Company has established an FFO guidance range of $0.82 to $0.86 per share for the third quarter of 2016. The difference between the Company’s second quarter 2016 FFO of $0.90 per share and the midpoint of the third quarter 2016 guidance range of $0.84 per share is due primarily to lower gains on sales of non-operating assets and the items described below.

The Company has established a Normalized FFO guidance range of $0.75 to $0.79 per share for the third quarter of 2016. The difference between the Company’s second quarter 2016 Normalized FFO of $0.76 per share and the midpoint of the third quarter 2016 guidance range of $0.77 per share is due primarily to:

a positive impact of approximately $0.01 per share from NOI from non-same store properties currently in lease-up;

a positive impact of approximately $0.01 per share from lower general and administrative expense; and

a negative impact of approximately $0.01 per share from lower same store NOI driven by an increase in revenues offset by a larger increase in operating expenses.

(1

Fair value interest rate swaps convert the $450.0 million 2.375% notes due July 1, 2019 to a floating interest rate of 90-Day LIBOR plus 0.61%.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(2
)
Facility/program is private. All other unsecured debt is public.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
(3
)
The interest rate on advances under the $2.5 billion revolving credit facility maturing April 1, 2018 will generally be LIBOR plus a spread (currently 0.95%) and an annual facility fee (currently 15 basis points). Both the spread and the facility fee are dependent on the credit rating of the Company's long-term debt. As of June 30, 2016, there was approximately $2.48 billion available on this facility (net of $24.6 million which was restricted/dedicated to support letters of credit).
 
 
(4
)
The Company may borrow up to a maximum of $500.0 million on the commercial paper program subject to market conditions. The notes bear interest at various floating rates with a weighted average of 0.96% for the six months ended June 30, 2016. No amounts were outstanding at June 30, 2016.

(A) Archstone indirect costs primarily includes the Company's 60% share of winddown costs for such items as office leases, litigation and German operations/sales that were incurred indirectly through the Company's interest in various unconsolidated joint ventures with AVB. During the six months and quarter ended June 30, 2015, the amounts also include approximately $18.6 million and $11.7 million, respectively, received related to the favorable settlement of a lawsuit.
(B) The six months and quarter ended June 30, 2016 includes a $52.4 million gain related to the sale of the Company's entire interest in the management contracts and related rights associated with the military housing ventures at Joint Base Lews McChord.
(C) Represents the accounting cost associated with the overlap of the Company's current and former performance based executive compensation programs. The Company is required to expense in 2016 and 2015 a portion of both the previous program's time based equity grants for service in 2014 or 2015 and the performance based grants issued under the current program, creating a duplicative charge. For the six months and quarter ended June 30, 2016, the entire amounts have been recorded to general and administrative expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2015, $0.7 million and $4.0 million has been recorded to property management expense and general and administrative expense, respectively. For the quarter ended June 30, 2015, $0.3 million and $2.0 million has been recorded to property management expense and general and administrative expense, respectively.
Note: See pages 26 through 29 for the definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and other terms as well as the reconciliations of EPS to FFO per share and Normalized FFO per share.

Normalized FFO Guidance and Assumptions
 
 
The guidance/projections provided below are based on current expectations and are forward-looking. All guidance is given on a Normalized FFO basis. Therefore, certain items excluded from Normalized FFO, such as debt extinguishment costs/prepayment penalties, property acquisition costs and the write-off of pursuit costs, are not included in the estimates provided on this page. The special dividend to be paid later in 2016 remains subject to the discretion of the Company's Board of Trustees and may vary materially due to, among other items, the amount and timing of 2016 dispositions. See pages 26 through 29 for the definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and other terms as well as the reconciliations of EPS to FFO per share and Normalized FFO per share.

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 Information include 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 REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or any other GAAP measurement of performance 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 divided by the weighted average occupied apartment units for the reporting period presented.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 years presented (the ratios should not be used for any other purpose, including without limitation, to evaluate the Company's financial condition or results of operations, nor do they indicate the Company's covenant compliance as of any other date or for any other period).
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 $100-$450 per apartment unit depending on the age and condition of the asset) divided by the gross sale 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.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Economic Gain – Economic Gain is calculated as the net gain on sales of real estate properties in accordance with GAAP, excluding accumulated depreciation. The Company generally considers Economic Gain to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net gain 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, rehab, 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 Economic Gain to net gain on sales of real estate properties in accordance with GAAP:

Funds From Operations and Normalized Funds From Operations:
 
 
Funds From Operations (“FFO”) – The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines 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. 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 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.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Normalized Funds From Operations ("Normalized FFO") – 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;
• 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 sales, net of the effect of income tax benefits or expenses; 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.

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.

2nd Quarter 2016 Earnings Release

Equity Residential
Additional Reconciliations and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms – Continued
(Amounts in thousands except per share and per apartment unit data)
(All per share data is diluted)
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Non-Same Store Properties – For annual comparisons, primarily includes all properties acquired during 2015 and 2016, plus any properties in lease-up and not stabilized as of January 1, 2015.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Normalized Earnings Before Interest, Income Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA") – Represents net income in accordance with GAAP before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation expense and amortization expense and further adjusted for non-comparable items. Normalized EBITDA, total debt to Normalized EBITDA and net debt to Normalized EBITDA are important metrics in evaluating the credit strength of the Company and its ability to service its debt obligations. The Company believes that Normalized EBITDA, total debt to Normalized EBITDA and net debt to Normalized EBITDA 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.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Physical Occupancy – The weighted average occupied apartment units for the reporting period divided by the average of total apartment units available for rent for the reporting period.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Same Store Properties – For annual comparisons, primarily includes all properties acquired or completed that are stabilized prior to January 1, 2015, less properties subsequently sold. Properties are included in Same Store when they are stabilized for all of the current and comparable periods presented.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
% of Stabilized NOI – For the June 30, 2016 Portfolio Summary, represents budgeted 2016 NOI for stabilized properties and projected annual NOI at stabilization (defined as having achieved 90% occupancy for three consecutive months) for properties that are in lease-up. For the December 31, 2015 Portfolio Summary, represents actual 2015 NOI for stabilized properties and projected annual NOI at stabilization (defined as having achieved 90% occupancy for three consecutive months) for properties that are in lease-up.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Total Capital Cost – Estimated cost for projects under development and/or developed and all capitalized costs incurred to date plus any estimates of costs remaining to be funded for all projects, including land acquisition costs, construction costs, capitalized real estate taxes and insurance, capitalized interest and loan fees, permits, professional fees, allocated development overhead and other regulatory fees, all in accordance with GAAP.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Turnover – Total residential move-outs divided by total residential apartment units, including inter-property and intra-property transfers.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
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 refers to the internal rate of return calculated by the Company based on the timing and amount of (i) total revenue earned during the period owned by the Company and (ii) the gross sales price net of selling costs, offset by (iii) the undepreciated capital cost of the properties at the time of sale and (iv) total direct property operating expenses (including real estate taxes and insurance) incurred during the period owned by the Company. Each of the items (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) is calculated in accordance with GAAP.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The calculation of the Unlevered IRR does not include an adjustment for the Company’s general and administrative expense, interest expense or property management expense. 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, rehab, 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.
