Sep 17, 2026

Equity Residential's operating partnership, ERP Operating Limited Partnership, has announced an increase to its unsecured commercial paper program.

EQUITY RESIDENTIAL 8-K Report, Corporate Update (Jul 31, 2026)

Jul 31, 2026

Equity Residential (EQR) has filed an 8-K to provide updated financial information related to its previously announced merger with AvalonBay Communities, Inc. The filing includes unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, offering a glimpse into the combined entity's financial position and operational results assuming the merger has been completed. Notably, the merger will be accounted for as a reverse acquisition, with AvalonBay being the accounting acquirer due to its larger ownership stake in the combined company (approximately 51% for AvalonBay stockholders vs. 49% for Equity Residential shareholders) and its senior management forming the majority of the executive team. This means AvalonBay's historical financial data will form the basis of the combined company's financial statements, with Equity Residential's assets and liabilities recorded at their estimated fair value. Investors should note that these pro forma statements are for informational purposes and are based on assumptions and estimates, subject to uncertainties. They do not represent actual historical performance and may differ from future results.

EQUITY RESIDENTIAL Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2026

Apr 30, 2026

Equity Residential (EQR) reported its first quarter 2026 results, demonstrating resilience and strategic execution in its multifamily property portfolio. While net income saw a significant year-over-year decrease, primarily driven by the absence of substantial property sale gains in the current quarter compared to the prior year, the company's core operational performance remained robust. Net Operating Income (NOI) increased by 1.6% to $513.2 million, with same-store NOI growing by 1.4%. This growth was fueled by a 2.5% rise in total rental income, largely attributed to strong demand and modest supply across key markets, particularly in Southern California, San Francisco, and New York. Despite a moderate increase in same-store operating expenses, mainly due to rising real estate taxes and utility costs, EQR maintained positive NOI growth. The company also highlighted its strong liquidity position, with approximately $1.7 billion in readily available liquidity as of March 31, 2026, supported by a revolving credit facility and a commercial paper program.

Equity Residential (EQR) has entered into a new Distribution Agreement and Master Confirmations for Issuer Share Forward Sale Transactions, continuing its existing At-the-Market (ATM) offering program. This allows for the sale of up to 13,000,000 common shares. The company is also leveraging a new automatic shelf registration statement filed on May 13, 2025, to facilitate these sales and replace a previous registration that was set to expire. While the company will not receive immediate proceeds from the sale of borrowed shares, it anticipates receiving net cash proceeds at settlement from forward sale agreements. However, the company retains the option to cash settle or net share settle these agreements, which could result in no cash proceeds or the exchange of shares. The agreements allow for commissions to agents and forward sellers not exceeding 2.0% of gross sales prices.

EQUITY RESIDENTIAL 8-K Report, Corporate Update (May 2, 2025)

May 2, 2025

Equity Residential's operating partnership, ERP Operating Limited Partnership, announced on May 1, 2025, its intention to issue $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.950% Notes due June 15, 2032.

Investors in these notes will receive semi-annual interest payments until the maturity date in 2032.

EQUITY RESIDENTIAL Quarterly Report for Q1 Ended Mar 31, 2025

Apr 30, 2025

Equity Residential (EQR) reported its first quarter 2025 results, demonstrating continued operational strength with a 3.7% increase in total Net Operating Income (NOI) year-over-year, reaching $505.1 million.

Same-store NOI also showed a modest 1.3% increase, supported by a 2.2% rise in rental income across its established markets, despite a 5.0% increase in operating expenses, largely due to rising real estate taxes, payroll, and utilities. The company completed the development of one consolidated property with 225 units and two unconsolidated properties with 720 units during the quarter. EQR also strategically disposed of two consolidated rental properties and one land parcel for approximately $226.7 million in net proceeds.

Diluted earnings per share decreased slightly to $0.67 from $0.77 in the prior year period, influenced by a net gain on property sales and depreciation expenses.
