The Company was recognized for its commitment to sustainability with its inclusion in both the Dow Jones Sustainability World and North American Indices. The Company is the first residential REIT to receive this distinction. The Company was also recently honored with Nareit’s Residential Sector Leader in the Light award, further demonstrating its leadership in this area.
"Our 2024 operating results were solid and generally consistent with our expectations. We expect a steady improvement in our same store revenue results as we go through 2025 driven by higher lease rate growth, continued elevated occupancy levels and significant contributions from other income in 2025. Our view is underpinned by an assumption that the economy remains steady and is supported by continuing subdued levels of supply in our mostly coastal footprint, an expectation of positive employment conditions for our higher earning renter demographic and continued value creation by our industry leading operations platform. With new apartment supply in 2026 at decade lows in our coastal markets and declining significantly in our Expansion Markets of Atlanta, Dallas and Denver, the longer term set up for our business is outstanding," said Mark J. Parrell, Equity Residential’s President and CEO.
Full Year 2025 Guidance
The Company has provided guidance for its full year 2025 same store operating performance, EPS, FFO per share, Normalized FFO per share and transactions as listed below:
| Same Store (includes Residential and Non-Residential): | |||
| Physical Occupancy | 96.2% | ||
| Revenue change | 2.25% to 3.25% | ||
| Expense change | 3.5% to 4.5% | ||
| NOI change | 1.4% to 3.0% | ||
| EPS | $3.00 to $3.10 | ||
| FFO per share | $3.87 to $3.97 | ||
| Normalized FFO per share | $3.90 to $4.00 | ||
| Transactions (1): | |||
| Consolidated rental acquisitions | $1.5B | ||
| Consolidated rental dispositions | $1.0B | ||
| Transaction Accretion (Dilution) | (25 basis points) | ||
| (1) | The Company expects to fund its acquisition activity with a combination of proceeds from dispositions and/or debt issuance. |
The difference between the Company's full year 2024 actual EPS of $2.72 and the full year 2025 EPS guidance midpoint of $3.05 is due primarily to higher expected property sale gains, lower expected other expenses, lower expected non-operating asset gains and the items described below.
The difference between the Company's full year 2024 actual FFO of $3.76 per share and the full year 2025 FFO guidance midpoint of $3.92 per share is due primarily to lower expected other expenses, lower expected non-operating asset gains and the items described below.
The difference between the Company's full year 2024 actual Normalized FFO of $3.89 per share and the full year 2025 Normalized FFO guidance midpoint of $3.95 per share is due primarily to:
| Expected | ||||
| Full Year 2025 vs. | ||||
| Residential same store NOI | $ | 0.12 | ||
| Non-Residential same store NOI | (0.01 | ) | ||
| Lease-Up NOI (1) | 0.01 | |||
| 2025 and 2024 transaction activity impact on NOI, net (2) | 0.05 | |||
| Interest expense, net (3) | (0.08 | ) | ||
| Corporate overhead (4) | (0.02 | ) | ||
| Other items | (0.01 | ) | ||
| Net | $ | 0.06 | ||
| (1) | Lease-Up NOI reflects the contribution from consolidated lease-up properties only. The Company does not expect a contribution to growth in 2025 from recently completed unconsolidated joint venture development projects given the current lease-up velocity and cessation of capitalized interest on construction loans. See the income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated entities line item on page 28 for 2025 guidance on this matter. |
| (2) | Transaction activity impact on NOI, net represents acquisition NOI net of disposition NOI. |
| (3) | Interest expense, net is driven by higher rates on refinancing and higher balances due to 2024 and 2025 net investment activity. |
| (4) | Corporate overhead includes property management and general and administrative expenses. |
The Company has a glossary of defined terms and related reconciliations of Non-GAAP financial measures on pages 29 through 34 of this release. Reconciliations and definitions of FFO and Normalized FFO are provided on pages 7, 31 and 32 of this release.

Investment Activity
During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company acquired three properties consisting of 795 apartment units, located in the Company’s Expansion Markets of Atlanta and Denver, for an aggregate acquisition price of approximately $274.3 million at a weighted average Acquisition Cap Rate of 5.2%. The acquired properties are one year old on average. During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company sold seven properties, located in the Washington, D.C., Seattle, San Francisco and San Diego markets, consisting of 1,629 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of approximately $610.1 million at a weighted average Disposition Yield of 5.2%. The properties sold during the fourth quarter of 2024 have an average age of 29 years.
During the full year of 2024, the Company acquired 18 properties, consisting of 5,373 apartment units, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.6 billion at a weighted average Acquisition Cap Rate of 5.1%.

The properties sold during 2024 have an average age of 35 years.
During 2024, the Company completed four joint venture development projects in its Expansion Markets of Dallas/Ft. Worth and Denver, consisting of 1,262 apartment units, for a total cost of approximately $338.0 million. See the income (loss) from investments in unconsolidated entities line item on page 28 for the Company's 2025 guidance assumption for these and other unconsolidated assets. The Company also commenced construction in 2024 on three joint venture development projects in suburban Boston (two projects) and Seattle, consisting of 1,079 apartment units, for a total anticipated cost of approximately $539.4 million.
"We are particularly pleased with our progress in 2024 in adding almost $2 billion of newer, high quality assets to our Atlanta, Dallas and Denver Expansion Market portfolios, which we funded with a combination of older asset sales and opportunistically sourced long term debt. While operating conditions in these markets continue to be challenging given historically high new supply levels, we remain enthusiastic about the balance these markets will create in our portfolio from the strong rental growth we expect to see in future years once this supply is absorbed," said Mr. Parrell.

| (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 – Modest increase primarily driven by higher wages, partially 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 – Increase primarily driven by higher minimum wage on contracted services, partially offset by 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. | |

| Equity Residential 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 $1.5 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 0.725%), 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 $1.5 billion Commercial Paper Program along with certain other obligations. The following table presents the availability on the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility:
| December 31, 2024 | ||||
| Unsecured revolving credit facility commitment | $ | 2,500,000 | ||
| Commercial paper balance outstanding | (544,495 | ) | ||
| Unsecured revolving credit facility balance outstanding | — | |||
| Other restricted amounts | (3,438 | ) | ||
| Unsecured revolving credit facility availability | $ | 1,952,067 | ||
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):
| Year Ended December 31, 2024 | Quarter Ended December 31, 2024 | |||||||
| Net Gain (Loss) on Sales of Real Estate Properties | $ | 546,797 | $ | 318,968 | ||||
| Accumulated Depreciation Gain | (350,066 | ) | (238,470 | ) | ||||
| Economic Gain (Loss) | $ | 196,731 | $ | 80,498 | ||||
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.

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% Physical 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):

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.
