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.”

Residential Same Store Operating Statistics

The following table includes select operating metrics for Residential Same Store Properties (for 76,916 same store apartment units):

	Q3 2024	Q2 2024
Physical Occupancy	96.1%	96.4%
Percentage of Residents Renewing by quarter	56.7%	57.7%

New Lease Change	(1.2%)	0.2%
Renewal Rate Achieved	4.6%	5.0%
Blended Rate ⁽¹⁾	2.0%	2.9%

(1)	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:

(1)	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.

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:

	September 30, 2024
Unsecured revolving credit facility commitment	$	2,500,000
Commercial paper balance outstanding		(789,000	)
Unsecured revolving credit facility balance outstanding		—
Other restricted amounts		(3,438	)
Unsecured revolving credit facility availability	$	1,707,562

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):

	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2024			Quarter Ended September 30, 2024
Net Gain (Loss) on Sales of Real Estate Properties	$	227,829		$	(165	)
Accumulated Depreciation Gain		(111,596	)		(14,921	)
Economic Gain (Loss)	$	116,233		$	(15,086	)

Established Markets – Includes Boston, New York, Washington, D.C., Seattle, San Francisco and Southern California (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.

The following table presents reconciliations of EPS to FFO per share and Normalized FFO per share for Consolidated Statements of Funds From Operations and Normalized Funds From Operations.

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):

Percentage of Residents Renewing – Leases renewed expressed as a percentage of total renewal offers extended during the reporting period.

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.

Pricing Trend – Weighted average of 12-month base rent including amenity amount less Leasing Concessions on 12-month signed leases for the reporting period.

Renewal Rate Achieved – The net effective change in rent (inclusive of Leasing Concessions) for a new lease on an apartment unit where the lease has been renewed as compared to the rent for the prior lease of the identical apartment unit, regardless of lease term.

Utilities – Represents gross expenses prior to any recoveries under the Resident Utility Billing System (“RUBS”). Recoveries are reflected in rental income.

Same Store Properties – For annual comparisons, primarily includes all properties acquired or completed that are stabilized prior to January 1, 2023, less properties subsequently sold. Properties are included in Same Store when they are stabilized for all of the current and comparable periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, includes both Residential and Non-Residential operations for these properties.

Same Store Residential Revenues – Revenues from our Residential Same Store Properties only presented on a GAAP basis which reflects the impact of Leasing Concessions on a straight-line basis.

Same Store Residential Revenues with Leasing Concessions on a cash basis is presented in Same Store Results and is considered by the Company to be a supplemental measure to Same Store Residential Revenues in conformity with GAAP to help investors evaluate the impact of both current and historical Leasing Concessions on GAAP-based Same Store Residential Revenues and to more readily enable comparisons to revenue as reported by other companies. Same Store Residential Revenues with Leasing Concessions on a cash basis reflects the impact of Leasing Concessions used in the period and allows an investor to understand the historical trend in cash Leasing Concessions.

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.

Weighted Average Coupons – Contractual interest rate for each debt instrument weighted by principal balances as of September 30, 2024. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 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.
