“Our third quarter results and upward guidance revisions reflect the continued rapid recovery in our business. For the first time since the pandemic began, we achieved positive quarter over quarter total same store revenue growth,” said Mark J. Parrell, Equity Residential’s President and CEO. “With continued strong demand and growing incomes for our resident demographic, we believe that we are well positioned to deliver same store revenue results in 2022 that will be among the best in our Company’s history.”

Highlights

  • The Company reported positive total same store revenue growth for the third quarter of 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 driven by strong Physical Occupancy, continued improvement in pricing power, an increase in Non-Residential revenues and the governmental rental assistance described below. This is the first time the Company has reported positive quarter over quarter revenue growth since the beginning of the pandemic. The Company also raised its annual guidance for same store revenues and NOI, as well as EPS, FFO per share and Normalized FFO per share.
  • Similar to prior quarters, the Company collected approximately 97% of its expected Residential revenues in the third quarter of 2021. Additionally, the Company received governmental rental assistance payments paid on behalf of residents of approximately $13.4 million and $18.3 million during the third quarter of 2021 and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively.
  • During the third quarter of 2021, the Company acquired eight operating properties, consisting of 2,108 apartment units, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $740.2 million and a weighted average Acquisition Cap Rate of 3.9%. The acquisitions include properties in Austin and Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX, marking the Company’s re-entry into these markets, as well as Atlanta, GA, a market that the Company reentered earlier this year.
  • During the third quarter of 2021, the Company sold five California operating properties, consisting of 1,047 apartment units, for an aggregate sales price of approximately $612.3 million and a weighted average Disposition Yield of 3.9%.
  • In August 2021, the Company entered into a strategic partnership with Toll Brothers, Inc. (NYSE: TOL) to develop apartment communities in key Equity Residential markets.
  • The Company recently published its 2021 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report highlighting Equity Residential’s ESG goals and accomplishments.

The change in EPS for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 is due primarily to higher property sale gains in the first nine months of 2021, the various adjustment items listed on page 26 of this release and the items described below.

Investment Activity

“During the quarter, we were pleased to add high quality, well located assets to the portfolio in both our expansion markets and the suburbs of our established markets and to fund these acquisitions with the sales proceeds from older California assets. These acquisitions included re-entering both the Dallas/Ft. Worth and Austin markets,” said Mr. Parrell. “We also had a very active quarter on the development front with the announcement of our new strategic partnership with Toll Brothers to build apartment communities in several of our markets. In addition, we continue to harness our internal development capabilities to deliver high quality assets to the portfolio as we did in the third quarter with the completion of one project and the start of three new projects.”

The Company acquired eight properties, consisting of 2,108 apartment units, during the third quarter of 2021 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $740.2 million and a weighted average Acquisition Capitalization Rate of 3.9%. The properties are located in Austin, TX (2), Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX (2), Atlanta, GA (2), suburban Seattle, WA and suburban Boston, MA. During the first nine months of 2021, the Company has acquired 11 properties, consisting of 2,921 apartment units, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.02 billion and a weighted average Acquisition Capitalization Rate of 3.9%.

The Company sold five properties during the third quarter of 2021, consisting of 1,047 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of approximately $612.3 million and a weighted average Disposition Yield of 3.9%, generating an Unlevered IRR of 9.5%. Three of the properties are located in suburban San Francisco, CA and two in Los Angeles, CA. During the first nine months of 2021, the Company sold ten properties, consisting of 1,842 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of approximately $1.02 billion and a weighted average Disposition Yield of 3.8%, generating an Unlevered IRR of 9.2%.

In August 2021, the Company announced a strategic partnership with Toll Brothers, Inc. to develop apartment communities in key Equity Residential markets. The Company expects that the first developments under this partnership will commence construction sometime over the next few months. In addition to this partnership, during the third quarter of 2021, the Company acquired a land parcel located in Denver, CO and another in suburban New York, NY, in unconsolidated joint ventures for an aggregate gross purchase price of approximately $55.4 million and commenced construction on both projects. The Company’s total investment in these two separate joint ventures is approximately $24.9 million as of September 30, 2021. The Company also commenced construction on an additional joint venture apartment property in Washington, D.C., and completed the development of The Edge, a 154 apartment unit property in Bethesda, MD.

Capital Markets Activity

On August 9, 2021, the Company closed on its second ever green bond offering with the issuance of $500.0 million at its lowest ever coupon rate for 10-year unsecured notes of 1.85% and an all-in effective yield of 2.0%. Net proceeds from this issuance will be allocated to investments in green buildings and/or renewable energy, energy efficiency and sustainable water management projects.

During the third quarter of 2021, the Company entered into forward equity sales agreements under its At-The-Market (ATM) share offering program for approximately 1.7 million common shares at an initial weighted average forward price per share of $83.25, which is subject to certain adjustments at settlement. The common shares sold under the forward equity sales agreements must settle by the end of the first quarter in 2023.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Guidance

The Company has established guidance ranges for the fourth quarter of 2021 EPS, FFO per share and Normalized FFO per share as listed below:

 

 

Q4 2021

Guidance

EPS

 

$1.02 to $1.04

FFO per share

 

$0.77 to $0.79

Normalized FFO per share

 

$0.78 to $0.80

The difference between the third quarter 2021 actual EPS of $1.15 and the fourth quarter of 2021 EPS guidance midpoint of $1.03 is due primarily to lower expected property sale gains, partially offset by higher expected same store NOI.

The difference between the third quarter 2021 actual FFO of $0.76 per share and the fourth quarter of 2021 FFO guidance midpoint of $0.78 per share is due primarily to higher expected same store NOI.

The difference between the third quarter 2021 actual Normalized FFO of $0.77 per share and the fourth quarter of 2021 Normalized FFO guidance midpoint of $0.79 per share is due primarily to higher expected same store NOI.

Full Year 2021 Guidance

The Company has revised its guidance for its full year 2021 same store operating performance as well as EPS, FFO per share and Normalized FFO per share as listed below:

The change in the full year 2021 EPS guidance range is due primarily to higher expected property sale gains and same store NOI, partially offset by higher expected depreciation expense.

The change in the full year 2021 FFO per share guidance range is due primarily to higher expected same store NOI.

The change in the full year 2021 Normalized FFO per share guidance range is due primarily to higher expected same store NOI.

  • Third Quarter 2021 vs. Second Quarter 2021 – Primarily lower bad debt in the third quarter of 2021.
  • September YTD 2021 vs. September YTD 2020 – Primarily impacted by the write-off of Non-Residential straight-line lease receivables in the third quarter of 2020 and lower bad debt in 2021.

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

 

 

 

Real estate taxes – Increase is lower than expected due to lower rates and assessed values.

 

 

 

On-site payroll – Improved sales and service staff utilization from various technology initiatives and higher than usual staffing vacancies during the current periods.

 

 

 

Utilities – Water, sewer and trash charges (approximately 65% of total) increased due to both usage and rate. Natural gas and electric charges (approximately 35% of total) increased due to higher commodity prices.

 

 

 

Repairs and maintenance – Year-over-year increase primarily driven by low comparable period expense growth due to the pandemic and increases in minimum wage on contract services and maintenance repairs (including higher turnover expense from robust leasing activity) in 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 increase primarily driven by increased digital advertising.

 

 

 

Other on-site operating expenses – Increase driven by higher ground lease-related expenses.
