Equity Residential (NYSE: EQR) today reported results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2013. All per share results are reported as available to common shares on a diluted basis.

"We are pleased that apartment fundamentals across our markets remain strong and that we will again produce results for the full year in line with our original guidance and well above historical trends," said David J. Neithercut, Equity Residential's President and CEO. "We are extremely proud of our property teams across the country for delivering such strong performance while simultaneously integrating 21,000 newly acquired apartment units into our portfolio."

Second Quarter 2013

FFO (Funds from Operations), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), for the second quarter of 2013 was $0.73 per share compared to $0.64 per share in the second quarter of 2012.

For the second quarter of 2013, the company reported Normalized FFO of $0.71 per share compared to $0.68 per share in the same period of 2012. The difference is due primarily to:

  • the positive impact of approximately $0.04 per share from higher same store net operating income (NOI);
  • the positive impact of approximately $0.27 per share from the stabilized Archstone properties, offset by the negative impact of approximately $0.25 per share from 2012 and 2013 disposition activity and common share issuance in connection with the company's purchase of Archstone; and
  • the negative impact of approximately $0.03 per share from higher interest expense and other items.

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. Merger expenses and prepayment penalties are not included in the company's Normalized FFO. A reconciliation and definition of Normalized FFO are provided on pages 26 and 29 of this release and the company has included guidance for Normalized FFO on page 27 of this release.

For the second quarter of 2013, the company reported earnings of $0.90 per share compared to $0.33 per share in the second quarter of 2012. The difference is due primarily to higher gains from property sales in the second quarter of 2013, partially offset by higher depreciation as a result of the Archstone acquisition, as well as the items discussed above.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2013

FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was $0.97 per share compared to $1.24 per share in the same period of 2012. The difference is due primarily to merger-related expenses and prepayment penalties incurred in the first six months of 2013 in connection with the company's acquisition of Archstone.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the company reported Normalized FFO of $1.35 per share compared to $1.29 per share in the same period of 2012.

For the six months ended June 30, 2013, the company reported earnings of $3.84 per share compared to $0.81 per share in the same period of 2012.

Same Store Results

On a same store second quarter to second quarter comparison, which includes 85,509 apartment units, revenues increased 4.9%, expenses increased 3.6% and NOI increased 5.6%.

On a same store six-month to six-month comparison, which includes 84,965 apartment units, revenues increased 5.0%, expenses increased 3.4% and NOI increased 5.8%.

Acquisitions/Dispositions

During the second quarter of 2013, the company acquired one property located in Redmond, Washington, consisting of 322 apartment units, for a purchase price of $91.5 million and a capitalization (cap) rate of 4.7%. The company also acquired one land parcel located in Seattle for future development for a purchase price of $16.5 million.

During the first six months of 2013, the company acquired 77 properties, consisting of 22,103 apartment units. With the exception of the acquisition discussed above, these properties were acquired as part of the company's $9 billion acquisition of 60% of the assets and liabilities of Archstone.

During the quarter, the company sold 19 apartment properties, consisting of 5,745 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of $729.9 million at a weighted average cap rate of 6.1%. These sales, excluding one Archstone asset that was sold shortly after its acquisition, generated an unlevered internal rate of return (IRR), inclusive of management costs, of 10.5%.

The company sold properties in the following markets during the quarter:

Also during the quarter, the company sold one commercial property adjacent to our Harbor Steps property in downtown Seattle for $30.7 million and five land parcels for an aggregate sale price of $59.8 million, generating an economic gain of approximately $29.0 million.

During the first six months of 2013, the company sold 82 apartment properties, consisting of 24,197 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of $3.7 billion at a weighted average cap rate of 6.0%. These sales, excluding two Archstone assets that were sold shortly after their acquisition, generated an unlevered IRR, inclusive of management costs, of 9.7%.

Please see page nine of this release for comparative portfolio summaries for the end of the fourth quarter 2012 and the end of the second quarter 2013.

Capital Markets Activities

The company also announced today certain actions designed to maintain its flexibility in the capital markets.

Earlier today, the company filed with the SEC a new universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 for use in future registered equity and debt securities offerings. This registration statement was filed to replace the company's current universal shelf registration statement, which expires later this year.

The company's Board has also authorized an increase to the amount of shares which may be offered under the company's At-The-Market (ATM) offering program from 6 million shares to 13 million shares. The company has also modified its existing share repurchase program to allow for the potential repurchase of up to 13 million company common shares. The program previously had repurchase capacity equating to approximately 8 million shares. These actions replenish the capacity in these programs to levels that the company believes are appropriate for its size. The company has not used its ATM program since the third quarter of 2012, has not used its share repurchase program for open market repurchases since 2008 and has no immediate plans to utilize either program.

Also, as previously disclosed, on April 10, 2013, the company closed a $500 million unsecured note offering maturing April 15, 2023 with a coupon of 3.0% and an all in effective rate of approximately 4.0% including the effect of fees and the termination of certain interest rate hedges. Proceeds from the issuance were used to repay secured debt and amounts outstanding on the company's revolving credit facility, fund termination costs on interest rate swaps and for other corporate purposes.

Third Quarter 2013 Guidance

The company has established a Normalized FFO guidance range of $0.71 to $0.75 per share for the third quarter of 2013. The difference between the company's second quarter 2013 Normalized FFO of $0.71 per share and the midpoint of the third quarter guidance range of $0.73 per share is due primarily to a positive impact of approximately $0.02 per share from lower interest expense and general and administrative costs.

Full Year 2013 Guidance

The company has revised its guidance for its full year 2013 same store operating performance, transactions and Normalized FFO results as well as other items listed on page 27 of this release. The changes to the full year same store, transactions and Normalized FFO guidance are listed below:

   

Previous

Revised

Same store:
Physical occupancy 95.3% 95.3%
Revenue change 4.0% to 5.0% 4.4% to 4.6%
Expense change 2.5% to 3.5% 3.0% to 3.5%
NOI change 4.5% to 6.0% 5.0% to 5.25%
 
Acquisitions: $100 million $100 million
Dispositions: $4.0 billion $4.1 billion
Cap Rate Spread: 100 basis points 110 basis points
 
Normalized FFO per share: $2.80 to $2.90 $2.80 to $2.85
 

The difference between the midpoint of the previous Normalized FFO guidance range and the midpoint of the revised guidance range is due primarily to the company completing its approximately $4 billion disposition program earlier in the year than originally expected.

(1)   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 29 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.

(1)   Facilities are private. All other unsecured debt is public.
 
(2) On January 11, 2013, the Company entered into a senior unsecured $750.0 million delayed draw term loan facility which was fully drawn on February 27, 2013 in connection with the Archstone acquisition. The maturity date of January 11, 2015 is subject to a one-year extension option exercisable by the Company. The interest rate on advances under the term loan facility will generally be LIBOR plus a spread (currently 1.20%), which is dependent on the credit rating of the Company's long-term debt.
 
(3) On January 11, 2013, the Company replaced its existing $1.75 billion facility with a $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility maturing April 1, 2018. The interest rate on advances under the new credit facility will generally be LIBOR plus a spread (currently 1.05%) 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, 2013, there was approximately $2.47 billion available on the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility.

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. See page 28 for estimates of property acquisition costs, prepayment premiums/penalties and other amounts not included in 2013 Normalized FFO guidance. See page 29 for the definitions, the footnotes referenced below and the reconciliations of EPS to FFO and Normalized FFO.
 
 
 

2013 Normalized FFO Guidance (per share diluted)

 

Q3 2013

2013

 
Expected Normalized FFO (2) (3) $0.71 to $0.75 $2.80 to $2.85
 

2013 Same Store Assumptions

 
Physical occupancy 95.3 %
Revenue change 4.4% to 4.6%
Expense change 3.0% to 3.5%
NOI change 5.0% to 5.25%
 
(Note: The same store guidance above is computed based on the portfolio of approximately 80,000 apartment units that the Company expects to have in its annual same store set after the completion of its planned 2013 dispositions. 30 basis point change in NOI percentage = $0.01 per share change in EPS/FFO/Normalized FFO)
 

2013 Transaction Assumptions

 
Consolidated rental acquisitions (excluding Archstone) $100.0 million
Consolidated rental dispositions - EQR assets $4.1 billion
Consolidated rental dispositions - Archstone assets (pre-closing) $500.0 million
Capitalization rate spread 110 basis points
 

2013 Debt Assumptions, Includes Impact of Archstone Debt Premium (see Note below)

 
Weighted average debt outstanding $11.4 billion to $11.6 billion
Weighted average interest rate (reduced for capitalized interest) 4.23 %
Interest expense $482.2 million to $490.7 million
 

2013 Other Guidance Assumptions

 
General and administrative expense $57.0 million to $58.0 million
Interest and other income $0.8 million to $1.0 million
Income and other tax expense $2.9 million to $3.1 million
 
Debt offerings No additional amounts budgeted
Equity ATM share offerings No amounts budgeted
Preferred share offerings No amounts budgeted
Weighted average Common Shares and Units - Diluted 370.6 million
 
Note: All debt assumptions include the impact of a mark-to-market non-cash adjustment relating to Archstone's debt that the Company assumed. Excluding the impact of the Archstone net debt premium, the Company's debt assumptions would be as follows:
 
Weighted average debt outstanding without Archstone net premium $11.3 billion to $11.5 billion
Weighted average interest rate (reduced for capitalized interest) without Archstone net premium 4.63 %
Interest expense without Archstone net premium $523.2 million to $532.5 million

Definitions and Footnotes for Pages 7, 26 and 28
   
(1) 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.
 
(2) 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;
? 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.
 
(3) 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.
 
(4) 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.
 
(5) 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.
