Exhibit 99.2

Chicago, IL - April 28, 2015 - 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.

First Quarter 2015
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.

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 $500.0 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%.

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.

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.
 
 
(2)
Average rental rate is defined as total rental revenues divided by the weighted average occupied apartment units for the period.
