Current report

See Note 16 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for our disclosure of reportable segments.

Current report

The increase in same store rental income is primarily driven by good demand and modest supply across most of our markets.

Current report

Other on-site operating expenses – A $3.4 million increase primarily driven by higher property-related legal expenses;

Current report

Insurance – A $3.3 million 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;

Current report

Utilities – A $3.4 million increase primarily driven by higher water, sewer and trash expense, partially offset by lower commodity prices for gas and electric; and

Current report

Repairs and maintenance – A $2.3 million increase primarily driven by higher minimum wage on contracted services, partially offset by lower resident Turnover compared to the same period of 2023.

Current report

Loss from investments in unconsolidated entities increased during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to 2023, primarily as a result of losses incurred on our unconsolidated development properties which recently started lease-up activities, partially offset by increases in net income of unconsolidated operating properties and a gain on sale of an unconsolidated operating property.

Current report

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company's operating business performed well, with healthy demand across most of our markets supported by a continuing solid job market, high employment levels and high wage growth among our target renter demographic. Competitive new supply was modest in our Established Markets, but has been elevated in our Expansion Markets. As expected, our East Coast markets were our best performers. On the West Coast, Seattle showed improvement, while San Francisco improved but at a more modest pace. Our Southern California markets (namely the city of Los Angeles) showed good demand but greater price sensitivity during the second half of 2024, though pricing started improving later in the year.

Current report

We continued to make progress in delinquent resident move-out activity, which reduced delinquencies in our portfolio. However, that progress was slower during 2024 than originally anticipated.

Current report

Activity in the transaction market was intermittent in 2024. However, we were able to source attractive opportunities to acquire properties in our Expansion Markets. We are excited to grow our portfolio and create operating scale in these markets as we execute on our strategy to optimize our portfolio allocation.

Current report

Repurchased and retired 402,500 Series K Preferred Shares/Preference Units with a liquidation value of approximately $20.1 million for total cash consideration of approximately $21.8 million, inclusive of premiums and accrued dividends through the redemption date.

Current report

Issued $600.0 million of ten-year 4.65% unsecured notes, receiving net proceeds of approximately $598.0 million before underwriting fees, hedge termination costs and other expenses. The proceeds from this issuance were used to partially fund the Company’s acquisition activity during 2024.

Current report

Established Markets – Includes Boston, New York, Washington, D.C., Seattle, San Francisco and Southern California (Los Angeles, Orange County and San Diego).

Current report

Expansion Markets – Includes Denver, Atlanta, Dallas/Ft. Worth and Austin.

The Company’s total investment in these three joint ventures was approximately $66.8 million as of December 31, 2022. One of the projects is related to the Company’s joint venture development program with Toll Brothers, Inc. ("Toll"), which commenced construction during the first quarter of 2022 prior to our entrance into the joint venture; and

Previous report

The increase in same store rental income is primarily driven by strong demand and limited new supply, partially offset by a non-cash write-off of approximately $1.5 million in straight-line receivables due to the bankruptcy of Rite Aid.

Previous report

Repairs and maintenance – A $9.9 million increase primarily driven by greater outsourcing due to higher internal staffing utilization to address issues from California rain storms that occurred earlier in 2023;

Previous report

On-site payroll – An $8.0 million increase due primarily to fewer staffing vacancies as compared to 2022 and elevated employee benefit costs, partially offset by the impact of innovation initiatives.

Previous report

The decrease in non-same store/other NOI is due primarily to:

Previous report

A negative impact of lost NOI from 2022 and 2023 dispositions of $20.2 million;

Previous report

A negative impact of $18.1 million from a real estate tax transaction adjustment in 2022 that did not reoccur in 2023; and

Previous report

A positive impact of higher NOI from non-stabilized properties acquired during 2021, 2022 and 2023 of $11.2 million and higher NOI from development and other properties in lease-up of $10.9 million.

Previous report

Includes the negative impact from the non-cash write-off of approximately $1.5 million in straight-line receivables during the year ended December 31, 2023 due to the bankruptcy of Rite Aid.

Previous report

During 2023, demand to live in our apartment communities remained healthy, which our financial results reflected. This steady demand for our apartments supported healthy Physical Occupancy with pricing that was largely in-line with our expectations, with the exceptions of the San Francisco and Seattle markets where pricing pressure during the second half of the year led to a greater than originally anticipated seasonal deceleration. The East Coast markets outperformed our West Coast markets, as we expected. Key operating drivers for this performance during 2023 included:

Previous report

Pricing – Pricing (net of Leasing Concessions) generally continued to be healthy and consistent with expectations in most of our major markets except San Francisco and Seattle. In most of our markets, pricing peaked in early August 2023, which was typical pre-pandemic, and began to moderate thereafter through the fourth quarter of 2023.

Previous report

Physical Occupancy – Physical Occupancy was 95.9% for the year ended December 31, 2023, which remained strong despite some increased move-out activity (see further discussion below).

Previous report

Percentage of Residents Renewing and Turnover – We continued to see a high Percentage of Residents Renewing in our portfolio, which we believe reflects both the strength of demand and quality of our product and team. The Percentage of Residents Renewing was strong at 59.0% for the fourth quarter of 2023. Turnover remained at some of the lowest levels in the Company's history at 43.7% for the full year of 2023, reflecting a healthy and consistent trend of historically high resident retention.

Previous report

The Company continued to have increased move-out activity related to delinquent residents during the year ended December 31, 2023, which put modest pressure on Physical Occupancy, especially in our Los Angeles market. While we have made significant progress in reducing delinquency in our portfolio, the backlog and slow pace of the eviction process led to slower improvement during the year ended December 31, 2023 than we had hoped for.

During the quarter ended December 31, 2022, the Company settled all of the outstanding forward sale agreements, at a weighted average forward price per share of $80.22, which is inclusive of adjustments made to reflect the then-current federal funds rate and the amount of dividends paid to holders of the Company's Common Shares, for net proceeds of approximately $139.6 million. Concurrent with this transaction, ERPOP issued the same amount of OP Units to EQR in exchange for the net proceeds.

Overall, the fundamentals of our business remain healthy. Long-term, we expect elevated single family home ownership costs, positive household formation trends, manageable competitive new supply in our established coastal markets and the overall deficit in housing across the country to buffer the impact on our business from the risks of potential economic weakness. We also see our affluent resident base as being resilient to economic uncertainty, including elevated inflation, due to higher levels of disposable income and lower relative rent-to-income ratios.
