CHICAGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Equity Residential EQR today reported results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011. All per share results are reported on a fully-diluted basis.

“As we enter the final months of our primary leasing season, we are pleased that fundamentals remain strong across all of our markets and that same store net operating income (NOI) results for the full year should be at the high end of our original guidance range,” said David J. Neithercut, Equity Residential's President and CEO. “However, we expect Normalized Funds from Operations for the year to be slightly below our original guidance midpoint due to increased disposition activity as we take advantage of attractive pricing for non-core assets and are challenged to redeploy that capital in a highly competitive acquisition environment in our core markets.”

Second Quarter 2011

FFO (Funds from Operations), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), for the second quarter of 2011 was $0.58 per share compared to $0.58 per share in the second quarter of 2010.

For the second quarter of 2011, the company reported Normalized FFO of $0.60 per share compared to $0.58 per share in the same period of 2010. The difference is due primarily to:

  • the positive impact of $0.06 per share from higher same store NOI and $0.04 per share from higher lease-up NOI;
  • the negative impact of $0.06 per share from 2011 transaction activity and timing; and
  • the negative impact of approximately $0.02 per share from other items including higher interest expense and the dilutive effect of stock options due to a higher than budgeted share price.

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. A reconciliation and definition of Normalized FFO are provided on pages 6 and 26 of this release and the company has included guidance for Normalized FFO on page 25 of this release.

For the second quarter of 2011, the company reported earnings of $1.85 per share compared to $0.02 per share in the second quarter of 2010. The difference is due primarily to higher gains from property sales in 2011.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2011

FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2011 was $1.14 per share compared to $1.07 per share in the same period of 2010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the company reported Normalized FFO of $1.16 per share compared to $1.09 per share in the same period of 2010.

For the six months ended June 30, 2011, the company reported earnings of $2.27 per share compared to $0.21 per share in the same period of 2010.

Same Store Results

On a same store second quarter to second quarter comparison, which includes 105,730 apartment units, revenues increased 4.9%, expenses increased 0.7% and NOI increased 7.4%.

On a same store six-month to six-month comparison, which includes 104,163 apartment units, revenues increased 4.5%, expenses decreased 0.3% and NOI increased 7.4%.

Acquisitions/Dispositions

During the second quarter of 2011, the company acquired five properties with a total of 1,548 apartment units for an aggregate purchase price of $410.2 million at a weighted average capitalization (cap) rate of 5.0%. The company also acquired, for potential development, a land parcel located across the street from its 425 Mass Avenue apartment property in Washington, D.C. for $12.9 million.

During the quarter, the company sold 26 properties, with a total of 8,536 apartment units for an aggregate sale price of $911.5 million at a weighted average cap rate of 6.3% generating an unlevered internal rate of return (IRR), inclusive of management costs, of 11.7%.

During the first six months of 2011, the company acquired seven properties with a total of 2,069 apartment units for an aggregate purchase price of $549.3 million at a weighted average cap rate of 5.2%; a commercial building adjacent to its Harbor Steps apartment property in downtown Seattle for a purchase price of $11.8 million, for potential redevelopment; and one land parcel for $12.9 million.

Also during the first six months of 2011, the company sold 38 properties with a total of 11,267 apartment units for an aggregate sale price of $1.17 billion at a weighted average cap rate of 6.4% generating an unlevered IRR, inclusive of management costs, of 11.5%.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

On July 13, 2011, the company entered into a new $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit agreement with a group of 23 financial institutions. The new facility matures in July 2014, subject to a one-year extension at the company's option. The interest rate on advances under the new facility will generally be LIBOR plus a spread (currently 1.15%) and the company pays an annual facility fee of 0.2%. 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 facility which was scheduled to mature in February 2012.

Redemption of Notes

On July 18, 2011, the company called for redemption on August 18, 2011 its outstanding 3.85% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2026. As of July 15, 2011, there was $482.5 million of notes outstanding. The redemption of these notes has been planned since the beginning of the year and the impact of this redemption was included in the company's 2011 Normalized FFO guidance. Details of the redemption can be found in the company's July 18, 2011 press release.

At-The-Market (ATM) Share Offering Program

The company has not issued any shares under this program since January 13, 2011 and currently has 10 million shares available for future issuance under this program. The company would use proceeds from share sales primarily to fund its investment activity, including development, and to fund debt repayment.

Third Quarter 2011 Guidance

The company has established a Normalized FFO guidance range of $0.59 to $0.63 per share for the third quarter of 2011. The difference between the company's second quarter 2011 Normalized FFO of $0.60 per share and the midpoint of the third quarter guidance range is primarily due to:

  • the positive impact of $0.02 per share from higher same store and lease-up NOI;
  • the positive impact of $0.01 per share from lower G&A expenses and other items; and
  • the negative impact of $0.02 per share from 2011 transaction activity and timing.

Full Year 2011 Guidance

The company has revised its guidance for its full year 2011 same store operating performance, transactions and Normalized FFO results as well as other items listed on page 25 of this release. The changes to the full year same store, transactions and Normalized FFO guidance are listed below:

 

Previous

 

Revised

Same store:
Physical occupancy 95.0% 95.2%
Revenue change 4.0% to 5.0% 4.8% to 5.1%
Expense change 1.0% to 2.0% 0.0% to 1.0%
NOI change 5.0% to 7.5% 7.0% to 8.0%
 
Acquisitions: $1.0 billion $1.15 billion
Dispositions: $1.25 billion $1.5 billion
Cap Rate Spread: 125 basis points 150 basis points
 
Normalized FFO per share: $2.40 to $2.50 $2.40 to $2.45

The difference between the midpoint of the previous Normalized FFO guidance range and the midpoint of the revised guidance range is due primarily to:

  • the positive impact of $0.07 per share from higher NOI from same store and lease-up properties;
  • the positive impact of $0.03 per share from lower interest expense due to development debt payoffs and the application of transaction proceeds to maturing debt;
  • the negative impact of $0.10 per share from 2011 transaction activity and timing; and
  • the negative impact of approximately $0.02 per share from other items including lower interest income and the dilutive effect of stock options due to a higher than budgeted share price.

(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 26 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.

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 of depreciable property, 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 asset impairment and valuation allowances;
• property acquisition and other transaction costs related to mergers and acquisitions and pursuit cost write-offs (other expenses);
• 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.

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.

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.

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.
