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

"For 2013, we currently expect to deliver same store revenue growth of 4.5%, very much in line with our original expectations," said David J. Neithercut, Equity Residential's President and CEO. "In the long term, favorable demographics will generate demand for housing in our markets that will not be met with new supply and we should enjoy strong growth for many years. In the short term, new supply will produce modest negative revenue growth in Washington, D.C., partially offsetting continued strong growth across many of our other markets and resulting in expected portfolio wide same store revenue growth of 3% to 4% in 2014."

Third Quarter 2013

FFO (Funds from Operations), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), for the third quarter of 2013 was $0.71 per share compared to $0.92 per share in the third quarter of 2012. The difference is due primarily to the $70.0 million Archstone termination fee that the company recognized in the third quarter of 2012.

For the third quarter of 2013, the company reported Normalized FFO of $0.73 per share compared to $0.73 per share in the same period of 2012. The following items impacted Normalized FFO per share in the quarter:

  • the positive impact of approximately $0.04 per share from higher same store net operating income (NOI);
  • the positive impact of approximately $0.28 per share from the Archstone properties, offset by the negative impact of approximately $0.28 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 $0.04 per share from higher interest expense, general and administrative expenses 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 third quarter of 2013, the company reported earnings of $1.05 per share compared to $0.72 per share in the third quarter of 2012. The difference is due primarily to higher gains from property sales in the third quarter of 2013, partially offset by higher depreciation as a result of the Archstone acquisition, as well as the termination fee and other items discussed above.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $1.68 per share compared to $2.16 per share in the same period of 2012. The difference is due primarily to merger-related expenses and prepayment penalties incurred in the first nine months of 2013 in connection with the company's acquisition of Archstone, as well as the termination fee described above.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the company reported Normalized FFO of $2.08 per share compared to $2.02 per share in the same period of 2012.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2013, the company reported earnings of $4.87 per share compared to $1.52 per share in the same period of 2012. The difference is due primarily to higher gains from property sales during 2013, partially offset by higher depreciation as a result of the Archstone acquisition, as well as the termination fee and other items described above.

Same Store Results

On a same store third quarter to third quarter comparison, which includes 82,553 apartment units, revenues increased 4.1%, expenses increased 3.1% and NOI increased 4.5%.

On a same store sequential third quarter to second quarter comparison, which includes 101,820 apartment units, revenues increased 1.5%, expenses increased 2.2% and NOI increased 1.2%. The company's sequential same store pool of assets includes 18,448 apartment units the company acquired in the Archstone transaction. The acquired Archstone properties performed in line with both the company's underwriting expectations and its comparable properties in the same markets.

On a same store nine-month to nine-month comparison, which includes 81,099 apartment units, revenues increased 4.7%, expenses increased 3.3% and NOI increased 5.4%.

Acquisitions/Dispositions

The company did not acquire any properties or land sites in the third quarter.

During the first nine months of 2013, the company acquired 77 properties, consisting of 22,103 apartment units. The company does not expect to acquire any operating assets in the fourth quarter.

During the third quarter, the company sold 10 apartment properties, consisting of 4,131 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of $657.6 million at a weighted average cap rate of 5.9%. These sales, excluding one Archstone asset that was sold during the quarter, generated an unlevered internal rate of return (IRR), inclusive of management costs, of 11.1%.

Also during the quarter, the company sold two land parcels for an aggregate sale price of $44.3 million.

During the first nine months of 2013, the company sold 92 apartment properties, consisting of 28,328 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of $4.36 billion at a weighted average cap rate of 6.0%. These sales, excluding three Archstone assets that were sold shortly after their acquisition, generated an unlevered IRR, inclusive of management costs, of 10.0%.

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

Capital Markets Activities

On October 1, 2013, the company used cash on hand from dispositions to repay a $963.5 million secured loan that it assumed in conjunction with the Archstone acquisition. This loan was set to mature in November 2014 and carried a cash interest rate of 5.88% and a GAAP interest rate of 3.45% due to the amortization of the Archstone-related debt premium.

The company anticipates closing a new $800 million secured loan from a large insurance company in the fourth quarter of 2013. The loan, which has been committed to by the company and the lender, has a 10 year term, is interest only and carries a fixed interest rate of 4.21%. The company expects to simultaneously use the loan proceeds to repay $825 million of a $1.27 billion secured loan that the company assumed as part of the Archstone transaction. The approximately $440 million balance will remain outstanding, continue to mature in November 2017 and continue to carry a cash interest rate of 6.26% and a GAAP interest rate of 3.58% due to the amortization of the Archstone-related debt premium.

The company expects to incur cash prepayment costs of approximately $150 million and a charge to earnings and FFO of approximately $43 million in the fourth quarter, which is reflected in our revised guidance below. The difference is due to the write off of Archstone-related debt premiums. Normalized FFO will not be impacted by this charge.

Assuming that these transactions occur as expected, the company will have locked in an attractive piece of long term debt and substantially extended the duration of its debt maturities as well as reduced its 2017 maturities as a percentage of outstanding debt.

Fourth Quarter 2013 Guidance

The company has established a Normalized FFO guidance range of $0.75 to $0.77 per share for the fourth quarter of 2013. The difference between the company's third quarter 2013 Normalized FFO of $0.73 per share and the midpoint of the fourth quarter guidance range of $0.76 per share is due primarily to:

  • a positive impact of approximately $0.02 per share from higher same store NOI offset by approximately $0.02 from dilution from 2013 transaction activity and other items; and
  • a positive impact of approximately $0.03 per share from lower total financing costs.

Full Year 2013 Guidance

(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.

(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 September 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 (including the $150.0 million that may be incurred in Q4 2013), 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 Same Store Assumptions

 
Physical occupancy 95.4 %
Revenue change 4.5 %
Expense change 3.3 %

(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 $4.4 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 $11.2 billion to $11.4 billion
Weighted average interest rate (reduced for capitalized interest) 4.22 %
Interest expense $472.6 million to $481.1 million
 

2013 Other Guidance Assumptions

 
General and administrative expense $63.0 million
Interest and other income $0.7 million
Income and other tax expense $2.6 million
Debt offerings $800.0 million

Weighted average Common Shares and Units - Diluted 370.5 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 $11.1 billion to $11.3 billion
Weighted average interest rate (reduced for capitalized interest) without Archstone net premium 4.56 %
Interest expense without Archstone net premium $506.2 million to $515.3 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.
