“Driven by an accelerating economy and the reopening of cities, our operations continue to recover rapidly with robust demand for our apartments in all our markets leading to high occupancy, increased pricing power and an almost complete absence of new lease concessions. This has driven pricing and Physical Occupancy up so quickly that they now equal or exceed 2019 levels in most of our markets,” said Mark J. Parrell, Equity Residential’s President and CEO. “Based on these positive indicators, we are pleased to raise our annual same store revenue guidance range to (5%) - (4%) with an expectation that quarter over quarter same store revenue growth could return as early as the fourth quarter of this year.”

Highlights

  • Strong Physical Occupancy and rapid improvement in other same store operating metrics drove quarterly sequential same store revenue and NOI positive in the second quarter for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic. As a result, the Company raised its annual guidance ranges for same store revenues and NOI, as well as EPS, FFO per share and Normalized FFO per share, and reduced the range for same store expenses.
  • During the second quarter and July 2021, the Company acquired seven operating properties, consisting of 1,894 apartment units, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $645.7 million at a weighted average Acquisition Cap Rate of 4.0%. The acquisitions include two properties in Austin, TX and two properties in Atlanta, GA, marking the Company’s re-entry into these markets. See the Management Presentation for details.
  • During the second quarter and July 2021, the Company sold six operating properties, consisting of 866 apartment units, for an aggregate sales price of approximately $434.8 million at a weighted average Disposition Yield of 3.8%.
  • During the second quarter of 2021, the Company completed the development of one joint venture property, Aero Apartments, consisting of 200 apartment units in the San Francisco market.
  • The Company continued to collect approximately 97% of its expected Residential revenues in the second quarter of 2021.

Results Per Share

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

The per share change in FFO for both the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the same period of 2020 is due primarily to the various adjustment items listed on page 26 of this release and the items described below.

Investment Activity

The Company acquired three properties, consisting of 813 apartment units, during the second quarter of 2021 for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $280.2 million at a weighted average Acquisition Capitalization Rate of 3.9%. The properties are located in Denver, CO, Fairfax, VA and Atlanta, GA. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company acquired four properties, consisting of 1,081 apartment units, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $365.5 million at a weighted average Acquisition Capitalization Rate of 4.1%. Two of the properties are located in Austin, TX, one in Atlanta, GA and the other in suburban Boston, MA. Also subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company acquired one land parcel in a joint venture for future development, located in Denver, CO, for a purchase price of approximately $4.9 million. The Company did not acquire any properties in the first quarter of 2021, therefore, the year-to-date 2021 acquisition activity is the same as listed above.

The Company sold five properties during the second quarter of 2021, consisting of 795 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of approximately $409.5 million at a weighted average Disposition Yield of 3.7%, generating an Unlevered IRR of 8.8%. Three of the properties are located in suburban Los Angeles, CA, one in suburban New York, NY and one in suburban Seattle, WA. Subsequent to the end of the second quarter, the Company sold one property, located in suburban San Francisco, CA, consisting of 71 apartment units, for a sale price of approximately $25.3 million, at a Disposition Yield of 4.4%. The Company did not sell any properties during the first quarter of 2021, therefore, the year-to-date 2021 disposition activity is the same as listed above.

“We are making excellent progress in investing capital in Denver and in our new target markets of Atlanta and Austin, while also adding properties in the suburbs of our established coastal markets that are attractive to our affluent renter customer base. We are funding this investment activity by selling older, less desirable or regulatorily challenged assets, especially in California, at pricing that exceeds our pre-pandemic values. We expect little to no dilution from this activity and believe that trading into newer assets in our expansion markets and in suburban locations in our established markets with the same high quality customer base will have both diversification and capital expenditure benefits,” said Mr. Parrell.

Third Quarter 2021 Guidance

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

 

 

Q3 2021

Guidance

EPS

 

$1.38 to $1.42

FFO per share

 

$0.71 to $0.75

Normalized FFO per share

 

$0.72 to $0.76

The difference between the second quarter 2021 actual EPS of $0.84 and the third quarter of 2021 EPS guidance midpoint of $1.40 is due primarily to higher expected property sale gains and same store NOI, partially offset by lower expected non-operating asset gains.

The difference between the second quarter 2021 actual FFO of $0.78 per share and the third quarter of 2021 FFO guidance midpoint of $0.73 per share is due primarily to lower expected non-operating asset gains, partially offset by higher expected same store NOI.

The difference between the second quarter 2021 actual Normalized FFO of $0.72 per share and the third quarter of 2021 Normalized FFO guidance midpoint of $0.74 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:

Normalized FFO per share

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

 

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

 

On-site payroll – Improved sales and service staff utilization from various technology initiatives, lower than expected employee benefit-related costs and higher than usual staffing vacancies during the current period.

 

Utilities – Increase driven by rate increases and higher usage of water, sewer, trash, electric and gas.

 

Repairs and maintenance – Year-over-year increase was driven by low comparable period expense due to the pandemic along with greater snowfall on the East Coast and higher turnover expense from accelerated leasing in 2021.

 

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

 

Leasing and advertising – Increase due primarily to low comparable period expense due to the pandemic, increased digital advertising and selective use of outside broker fees of approximately $0.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily in the New York market.

 

Other on-site operating expenses – Year-over-year decrease primarily driven by lower ground lease costs due to a lease modification at one property.
