Essex Announces Third Quarter 2012 Results

Core Funds from Operations per Diluted Share for the Third Quarter Increased 20.6%

Palo Alto, California—October 31, 2012—Essex Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE:ESS) announced today its third quarter 2012 earnings results and related business activities.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, totaled $63.4 million, or $1.67 per diluted share compared to $50.5 million, or $1.43 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  The Company’s Core FFO totaled $64.9 million, or $1.71 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2012, compared to $50.2 million, or $1.42 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.  Net income available to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 totaled $16.2 million or $0.45 per diluted share compared to $7.7 million, or $0.23 per diluted share for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Third Quarter Highlights:

· Core FFO per diluted share grew 20.6% as a result of robust same-property net operating income (“NOI”) growth of 9.5% compared to Q3 2011.  The results were 2 cents ahead of the midpoint of the Core FFO guidance range provided in the second quarter earnings press release.

· Realized an 80 basis points increase in financial occupancy compared to Q3 2011.

· Achieved a 2.0% sequential increase in gross revenues for the same-property portfolio.

· Acquired four communities for an aggregate investment of $156 million containing 622 units.  In October, the Company acquired two communities for $164 million comprised of 598 units.  Year-to-date through October, the Company has acquired $516 million in apartment communities, including the purchase of our co-investment partners’ interest in Essex Skyline.

· Increased full-year Core FFO guidance from a range of $6.63 to $6.83 to $6.72 to $6.84, as a result of strong same-property revenue growth for the third quarter.

· Increased full-year same-property NOI growth guidance to a midpoint of 9.1%, from the midpoint guidance provided in the second quarter of 9.0%.

· The percentage of residents that moved out of our communities to purchase homes decreased to 10.5% in the third quarter compared to 11.6% in the second quarter of 2012.

· Issued $300 million in unsecured bonds at 3.625%, repaid $86.9 million of secured debt related to six communities and incurred $1.2 million in prepayment penalties.

· October rental rates increased 5.0% over the expiring leases, and 30-day availability is 5.0%.

Michael J. Schall, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, “We are very pleased with our progress for the third quarter.  Operating results continue to be very robust as a result of strong housing fundamentals, allowing us to raise the midpoint of our Core FFO guidance range by 5 cents per diluted share and providing momentum into 2013.  We improved the balance sheet and financial flexibility with our $300 million debut public unsecured bond offering, continue to find accretive acquisitions, and reported progress on our $1 billion development program.”

Dispositions

The Company closed on the sale of five communities owned by Essex Apartment Value Fund II, L.P. (“Fund II”) during the fourth quarter, and two additional communities are expected to close by year end, for a total of seven communities for gross proceeds of approximately $413 million.  The Company has a 28.2% ownership stake in Fund II.  In conjunction with the sale of the assets, Fund II will incur prepayment penalties on debt obligations which will result in the Company recording a loss of $2.2 million in the fourth quarter for its pro-rata share of Fund II’s debt.

- 2 -

Development Activity

In October, the Company opened phase I of Expo in Seattle, Washington approximately six months ahead of original schedule and $3.1 million below original budgeted cost.  Currently, 104 of the 169 units available for lease in phase I are occupied or pre-leased, representing 38% of the total units.  All units at Expo should be available for lease by December, and we expect the 275 unit property to stabilize by June of 2013.

Liquidity and Balance Sheet

Common Stock

During the third quarter, the Company sold 633,636 shares of common stock for $97.9 million, net of commissions, at an average per share price of $155.97.  Year-to-date through October, the Company has sold 1,775,748 shares of common stock for $269.0 million, net of commissions, at an average price of $152.97.

Balance Sheet Update

During the quarter, the Company repaid $86.9 million in secured debt related to six communities.  The Company incurred $1.2 million in losses from early retirement of debt and these communities are now unencumbered assets.

In August, the Company issued $300 million of senior unsecured bonds due August 2022.  The bonds have an interest rate per annum of 3.625%.  Please see the Company’s press release dated August 8, 2012 for additional details on the offering.

During October, the Company drew an additional $150 million on the Company’s $350 million unsecured term loan which is now fully drawn at LIBOR + 130 basis points.  The proceeds were used to fund fourth quarter acquisitions, development pipeline, and pay down the Company’s lines of credit.

Guidance

The Company tightened its full-year 2012 FFO guidance from a range of $6.60 to $6.80 per diluted share to $6.61 to $6.75, and raised its full-year Core FFO guidance range of $6.63 to $6.83 per diluted share to $6.72 to $6.84 and raised the midpoint 5 cents to $6.78.  See S-14 for the assumptions used to calculate the low and high end of the 2012 FFO and Core FFO guidance range.  The following table provides a reconciliation of the reported Q3 2012 Core FFO per diluted share to the midpoint of the Q3 2012 Core FFO guidance set forth in the second quarter earnings release distributed in August 2012:

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) Reconciliation

FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), is generally considered by industry analysts as an appropriate measure of performance of an equity REIT. Generally, FFO adjusts the net income of equity REITs for non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization of rental properties, impairment charges, gains/losses on sales of real estate and extraordinary items. Management considers FFO and FFO which excludes items not related to the Company’s core business activities referred to as Core FFO to be useful financial performance measurements of an equity REIT because, together with net income and cash flows, FFO provides investors with an additional basis to evaluate the operating performance and ability of a REIT to incur and service debt and to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures and ability to pay dividends.

FFO does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and is not intended to indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the REIT's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO does not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all cash needs including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to shareholders. FFO also does not represent cash flows generated from operating, investing or financing activities as defined under GAAP. Management has consistently applied the NAREIT definition of FFO to all periods presented. However, there is judgment involved and other REITs’ calculation of FFO may vary from the NAREIT definition for this measure, and thus their disclosures of FFO may not be comparable to the Company’s calculation.

Capitalized interest for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was approximately $2.8 million and $6.8 million, respectively.

(1)  $202.1 million of the variable rate debt is tax exempt to the note holders, and $187.8 million of the tax exempt debt is subject to interest rate protection agreements.

(2)  The unsecured term loan has a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.30%, and in July 2012 the capacity of the term loan was expanded to $350 million.  The Company has entered into interest rate swap contracts for a term of five years with a notional amount totaling $300 million, which effectively converts the interest rate on $300 million of the term loan to a fixed rate of 2.39%.  During October the Company drew an additional $150 million in the term loan and is now fully drawn at $350 million.

(3)  The unsecured line of credit facility is $500 million with an accordion to $600 million.  The line matures in December 2015 with two one-year extensions, exercisable at the Company's option.  The underlying interest rate on this line is based on a tiered rate structure tied to the Company's corporate ratings and is currently at LIBOR plus 1.20%.

(4)  The unsecured line of credit facility is $25 million and matures in January 2014 with a one-year extension, exercisable at the Company's option.  The underlying interest rate on this line is based on a tiered rate structure tied to the Company's corporate ratings and is currently at LIBOR plus 1.20%.

U.S. Economic Assumptions: 2013 G.D.P. Growth:  2.3% , 2013 Job Growth: 1.5%

(1) New Residential Supply: represents the Company's internal estimate of actual deliveries during the year, which are related to, but can differ from the 12 month trailing permit levels reported on S-17 of the supplemental.

(2) Job Forecast/Performance: refers to the difference between total non-farm industry employment (not seasonally adjusted) projected through Q4 2013 over estimated figures for Q4 2012, expressed as total new jobs and growth rates.

(3) Forecast Market Conditions: represents the Company's estimates of the change in market rents/occupancy rates for Q4 2013.  The estimated rent growth represents the forecasted change in effective market rents for Q4 2013 vs Q4 2012 (where market refers to the entire MSA apartment market, not the Company's portfolio).  The estimated year end occupancy represents the Company's forecast of physical market occupancy rates as of Q4 2013.
