CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Equity Residential (NYSE: EQR) today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015. All per share results are reported as available to common shares on a diluted basis.
“Apartment fundamentals remain very strong across our markets and 2015 should be another terrific year for Equity Residential,” said David J. Neithercut, Equity Residential’s President and CEO. “As we head into our primary leasing season, we continue to experience less turnover, better occupancy and higher rental rates than original expectations and are therefore pleased to raise our guidance range for same store revenue growth to 4.3% to 4.7%.”
First Quarter 2015
FFO (Funds from Operations), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), for the first quarter of 2015 was $0.79 per share compared to $0.71 per share in the first quarter of 2014. The difference is due primarily to the items described below.
For the first quarter of 2015, the company reported Normalized FFO of $0.79 per share compared to $0.71 per share in the same period of 2014. The following items impacted Normalized FFO per share in the quarter:
- a positive impact of approximately $0.07 per share from higher same store net operating income (NOI) and approximately $0.02 per share from NOI from non-same store properties currently in lease-up;
- a positive impact of approximately $0.01 per share from lower interest expense primarily due to higher capitalized interest in the first quarter of 2015; and
- a negative impact of approximately $0.02 per share from the timing of the company’s 2014 and 2015 transaction activity 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. Reconciliations and definitions of FFO and Normalized FFO are provided on pages 5 and 25 of this release and the company has included guidance for Normalized FFO on page 24 and FFO on page 25 of this release.
For the first quarter of 2015, the company reported earnings of $0.49 per share compared to $0.22 per share in the first quarter of 2014. The difference is due primarily to higher gains on property sales in the first quarter of 2015 and the items described above.
Same Store Results
On a same store first quarter to first quarter comparison, which includes 97,586 apartment units, revenues increased 5.0%, expenses increased 1.4% and NOI increased 7.0%.
Capital Markets Activity
In February 2015, the company established a $500 million unsecured commercial paper note program which allows Equity Residential to borrow on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. As of April 27, 2015, the company’s program has approximately $500 million outstanding at a weighted average rate of 0.61% for a weighted average period of 12 days.
Investment Activity
The company did not acquire any operating properties during the first quarter of 2015.
During the first quarter of 2015, the company sold three consolidated apartment properties, consisting of 550 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of approximately $145.4 million at a weighted average capitalization (cap) rate of 5.3%. These sales generated an unlevered internal rate of return (IRR), inclusive of indirect management costs, of 11.9%.
Second Quarter 2015 Guidance
The company has established a Normalized FFO guidance range of $0.82 to $0.86 per share for the second quarter of 2015. The difference between the company’s first quarter 2015 Normalized FFO of $0.79 per share and the midpoint of the second quarter 2015 guidance range of $0.84 per share is due primarily to:
- a positive impact of approximately $0.04 per share from higher same store NOI; and
- a positive impact of approximately $0.01 per share from lower G&A costs.
Full Year 2015 Guidance
The company has revised its guidance for its full year 2015 same store operating performance and Normalized FFO per share as listed below:

Revised |
|||||||
Same store: | ||||||||
Physical occupancy | 95.8% | 95.9% | ||||||

(1) | The Company's primary financial measure for evaluating each of its apartment communities is net operating income ("NOI"). NOI represents rental income less direct property operating expenses (including real estate taxes and insurance) as well as an allocation of indirect property management costs. 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 25 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) Normalized EBITDA, total debt to Normalized EBITDA and net debt to Normalized EBITDA are important metrics in evaluating the credit strength of the Company and its ability to service its debt obligations. The Company believes that Normalized EBITDA, total debt to Normalized EBITDA and net debt to Normalized EBITDA 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. |

(A) Archstone direct acquisition costs primarily includes items such as investment banking and legal/accounting fees that were incurred directly by the Company. |
(B) Archstone indirect costs primarily includes the Company's 60% share of winddown costs for such items as office leases, litigation and German operations/sales that were incurred indirectly through the Company's interest in various unconsolidated joint ventures with AvalonBay. During 2015, the amount also includes approximately $6.9 million received related to the favorable settlement of a lawsuit. |
(C) Represents the accounting cost associated with the Company's new performance based executive compensation program. The Company is required to expense in 2015 a portion of both the previous program's time based equity grants for service in 2014 and the performance based grants issued under the new program, creating a duplicative charge. Of this amount, $0.3 million and $2.0 million has been recorded to property management expense and general and administrative expense, respectively. |

Definitions and Footnotes for Pages 5, 23 and 24 | ||
(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. | |
