“While the first quarter’s results reflect the significant impact of the pandemic on our business, we continue to see substantial signs of improvement as cities begin to reopen and affluent renters return. We are producing occupancy and pricing trends better than our original expectations and are therefore pleased to raise our full year same store revenue guidance range by 100 basis points to -6.0% to -8.0%,” said Mark J. Parrell, Equity Residential’s President and CEO. “As we head into the seasonally highest demand period of the year, we see considerable positive momentum in our operations and we expect to further reduce concessions and increase rental rates in light of the strong demand we see across our markets.”

Highlights

  • The Company has seen a 1.6% improvement in same store Physical Occupancy since the end of the fourth quarter 2020 (94.4% on December 31, 2020 to 96.0% on April 22, 2021).
  • Pricing Trends continue to improve across all markets with an approximately 14% sequential improvement portfolio-wide from December 2020 through April 2021. See the Management Presentation for details.
  • The Company collected approximately 97% of its expected Residential revenues in the first quarter of 2021.
  • The Company expanded its efforts to improve access to affordable housing with a $5.0 million commitment to a fund dedicated to preserving affordable housing.

The quarter-over-quarter changes were primarily affected 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 offset other general payroll pressures.

 

 

 

Utilities – Increase driven by higher usage of water, sewer and trash.

 

 

 

Repairs and maintenance – Increase primarily driven by non-comparable items like greater snowfall on the East Coast and higher turnover expense from accelerated leasing as well as increases in minimum wage on contract services.

 

 

 

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 increased digital advertising and selective use of outside broker fees on targeted leasing activity.

 

 

 

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