“We are pleased to have delivered outstanding operating results in 2022. I want to thank my 2,400 hard-working colleagues across Equity Residential for all they do every day to delight our customers,” said Mark J. Parrell, Equity Residential’s President and CEO. “Turning to 2023, we have seen the year begin with the usual sequential improvement in demand and rate. We expect to again deliver above trend same store operating results driven by the momentum embedded in our rent roll from a stellar 2022, continuing solid demand and limited expense growth, but also expect the slowing economy to dampen intraperiod rent growth during 2023. Overall, the fundamentals of our business remain strong. Our affluent resident demographic remains highly employable with the unemployment rate for college graduates at 2%. We also see elevated home ownership costs and manageable competitive new apartment supply as further positive factors.”

Recent Highlights

  • The Company reported a 10.6% increase in same store revenue for the full year 2022 compared to the full year 2021, driven by strong demand. Same store expense growth for the full year 2022 compared to the full year 2021 was a moderate 3.6%, benefitting from favorable real estate tax growth and declines in payroll expense primarily due to the Company's various innovation and centralization initiatives.
  • The Company has provided full year 2023 guidance with same store revenue growth expected to be between 4.5% and 6.0%.
  • During 2022, the Company was a net seller of approximately $633.2 million of attractively priced non-core properties, the proceeds from which were utilized to pay down near-term debt maturities, reducing refinancing needs for 2023.
  • In October 2022, the Company further enhanced liquidity and financial flexibility by entering into a new $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in 2027 that replaces the prior facility of the same size that was set to mature in 2024.
  • The Company was recently recognized as one of America’s Most Responsible Companies for 2023 by Newsweek.

Full Year 2023 Guidance

The Company has provided guidance for its full year 2023 same store operating performance, EPS, FFO per share and Normalized FFO per share as listed below:

Same Store (includes Residential and Non-Residential):

Physical Occupancy

 

96.2%

Revenue change (1)

 

4.5% to 6.0%

Expense change

 

4.0% to 5.0%

Net Operating Income (NOI) change

 

4.75% to 6.25%

 

 

 

EPS (2)

 

$1.49 to $1.59

FFO per share (2)

 

$3.66 to $3.76

Normalized FFO per share (2)

 

$3.70 to $3.80

 

 

 

Transactions (3):

 

 

Consolidated rental acquisitions

 

Consolidated rental dispositions

 

(1)

We anticipate that revenue change will be negatively impacted by approximately 0.9% at the midpoint due to continuing elevated levels of forecasted Bad Debt, Net in 2023, as a result of a slower return to normal resident payment patterns due to local governmental restrictions primarily in California and a lack of governmental rental assistance.

(2)

The Company expects to incur additional casualty losses in the first quarter of 2023 related to Northern and Southern California rainstorms, estimates of which are included in guidance.

(3)

Given current uncertainty in the transaction environment, the Company's full year 2023 acquisition and disposition guidance reflects no anticipated activity.

The difference between the Company's full year 2022 actual EPS of $2.05 and the full year 2023 EPS guidance midpoint of $1.54 is due primarily to lower expected property sale gains and the items described below.

The difference between the Company's full year 2022 actual FFO of $3.53 per share and the full year 2023 FFO guidance midpoint of $3.71 per share is due primarily to the items described below.

The difference between the Company's full year 2022 actual Normalized FFO of $3.52 per share and the full year 2023 Normalized FFO guidance midpoint of $3.75 per share is due primarily to:

Results Per Share

The changes in EPS for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 are due primarily to lower property sale gains in the current periods, lower depreciation expense in the prior full year period, the various adjustment items listed on page 27 of this release and the items described below.

The per share changes in FFO for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021 are due primarily to the various adjustment items listed on page 27 of this release and the items described below.

Change in rental income due to bad debt write-offs and reserves, net of amounts (including governmental rental assistance payments) collected on previously written-off or reserved accounts.

January 2023 results are preliminary.

“Our fourth quarter 2022 and January 2023 operating statistics reflect usual seasonal moderation patterns, though slightly more pronounced. We were, however, pleased that our New Lease Change performance remained positive in the fourth quarter of 2022 and in January 2023, contrary to historical patterns,” said Michael L. Manelis, Equity Residential’s Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. “While it is very early in the year, we are seeing typical sequential improvement in rents and leasing activity with New Lease Change and Blended Rate in January 2023 higher as compared to December 2022, suggesting that the year is beginning in a way consistent with normal demand trends."

Investment Activity

The Company did not acquire any operating properties during the fourth quarter of 2022. During the full year of 2022, the Company acquired a 172-unit apartment property in San Diego, built in 2020, for $113.0 million at an Acquisition Cap Rate of 3.5% as well as two unconsolidated land parcels for future development for approximately $56.9 million.

The Company did not sell any properties during the fourth quarter of 2022. During the full year of 2022, the Company sold three properties for a total sale price of approximately $746.2 million at a weighted average Disposition Yield of 3.4%, generating an Unlevered IRR of 5.3%.

Capital Markets Activity

In October 2022, the Company settled all of its outstanding forward equity sales agreements under its At-The-Market (ATM) share offering program, which were entered into during the third quarter of 2021. As a result, it issued 1,740,550 common shares at $80.22 per share and received total proceeds of approximately $139.6 million.

Also in October 2022, the Company entered into a new $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement with a group of 19 financial institutions. The new facility matures October 26, 2027 and has an interest rate of SOFR plus a spread (currently 0.725%) and an annual facility fee (currently 0.125%). Both the spread and the facility fee are dependent on the credit rating of the Company’s long-term debt. This facility replaced the Company’s existing $2.5 billion facility, which was scheduled to mature in November 2024.

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

Real estate taxes – Increase due to modest escalation in rates and assessed values.

On-site payroll – Year-over-year decrease due to improved sales and service staff utilization from various technology initiatives, higher than usual staffing vacancies during the current period and lower employee benefit-related costs. Quarter-over-quarter increase due primarily to timing of employee benefit-related costs and fewer staffing vacancies along with a challenging comparable period in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Utilities – Increase from gas and electric, primarily driven by higher commodity prices.

Repairs and maintenance – Increase primarily driven by volume and timing of maintenance and repairs, increases in minimum wage on contracted services along with a challenging comparable period in the fourth quarter of 2021.

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

Leasing and advertising – Year-over-year decrease due primarily to reduction in use of outside residential brokers. Quarter-over-quarter decrease due primarily to reduction in use of outside residential brokers and reduction in advertising expense.

Other on-site operating expenses – Increase driven primarily by higher property-related legal expenses and higher ground lease-related expenses.
