Essex Announces Second Quarter 2023 Results and Raises Full-Year 2023 Guidance

San Mateo, California—July 27, 2023—Essex Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ESS) (the “Company”) announced today its second quarter 2023 earnings results and related business activities.

Net Income, Funds from Operations (“FFO”), and Core FFO per diluted share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 are detailed below.

	Three Months Ended June 30,		%	Six Months Ended June 30,		%
	2023	2022	Change	2023	2022	Change
Per Diluted Share
Net Income	$1.55	$0.87	78.2%	$3.94	$2.00	97.0%
Total FFO	$3.87	$3.13	23.6%	$7.68	$6.49	18.3%
Core FFO	$3.77	$3.68	2.4%	$7.42	$7.06	5.1%

Second Quarter 2023 Highlights:

• Reported Net Income per diluted share for the second quarter of 2023 of $1.55, compared to $0.87 in the second quarter of 2022. The increase is largely attributable to increased income from marketable securities and the Company’s non-core co-investments.

• Grew Core FFO per diluted share by 2.4% compared to the second quarter of 2022, exceeding the midpoint of the guidance range by $0.08. The increase was primarily due to higher same-property revenues and lower property taxes in Washington.

• Same-property revenues and net operating income (“NOI”) increased by 4.0% and 3.6%, respectively, compared to the second quarter of 2022. On a sequential basis, same-property revenues and NOI improved 1.4% and 2.4%, respectively.

• Revised full-year 2023 earnings guidance:

o Increased full-year Net Income per diluted share guidance by $0.31 at the midpoint to a range of $6.74 to $6.98.

o Increased full-year Core FFO per diluted share guidance by $0.22 at the midpoint to a range of $14.88 to $15.12.

o Raised the midpoint of full-year same-property revenues and NOI by 0.4% and 0.9%, respectively. Lowered the full-year same-property operating expense midpoint by 1.0%.

• Subsequent to quarter end, the Company closed $298.0 million in 10-year secured loans priced at 5.08% fixed interest rate. The proceeds are intended to repay a majority of the Company’s $400.0 million unsecured notes due in May 2024 at maturity and will be reinvested in short-term cash accounts until the notes are repaid.

• As of July 26, 2023, the Company’s immediately available liquidity is approximately $1.6 billion.

Same-Property Operations

Same-property operating results exclude any properties that are not comparable for the periods presented. The table below illustrates the percentage change in same-property revenues for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2022, and the sequential percentage change for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023, by submarket for the Company:

	Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022	Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023	% of Total
	Revenue Change	Revenue Change	Q2 2023 Revenues
Southern California

Orange County	7.6%	1.4%	10.5%
San Diego County	9.9%	1.9%	8.9%
Ventura County	8.3%	3.2%	4.1%
Total Southern California	4.7%	1.6%	42.1%
Northern California
Santa Clara County	5.0%	2.2%	19.7%
Alameda County	2.9%	0.7%	7.8%

Contra Costa County	1.8%	1.0%	5.4%
San Francisco	-0.3%	0.5%	2.6%
Total Northern California	3.5%	1.6%	40.1%
Seattle Metro	3.7%	0.3%	17.8%
Same-Property Portfolio	4.0%	1.4%	100.0%

The table below illustrates the components that drove the change in same-property revenues on a year-over-year and sequential basis for the second quarter of 2023.

Same-Property Revenue Components	Q2 2023 vs. Q2 2022	YTD 2023 vs. YTD 2022	Q2 2023 vs. Q1 2023
Scheduled Rents	5.2%	6.0%	1.0%
Delinquencies(1)	-1.5%	-0.8%	0.1%
Cash Concessions	-0.2%	0.0%	0.2%
Vacancy	0.3%	0.3%	-0.1%
Other Income	0.2%	0.3%	0.2%
2023 Same-Property Revenue Growth	4.0%	5.8%	1.4%

₍₁₎ The year-over-year negative impact from delinquencies is largely due to lower net delinquency in the prior period, which benefitted from Emergency Rental Assistance payments of $13.0 million and $24.5 million in the second quarter 2022 and year-to-date 2022, respectively. This compares to Emergency Rental Assistance payments of $0.5 million and $1.7 million for the second quarter of 2023 and year-to-date 2023, respectively.

Investment Activity

Real Estate

In April 2023, the Company acquired Hacienda at Camarillo Oaks, a 73-unit apartment home community located in Camarillo, CA for a total contract price of $23.1 million. The community is located within an existing Essex community and represents a value-add opportunity due to expected efficiencies from the Company’s Property Collections operating model.

Other Investments

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company received cash proceeds of $25.9 million from a partial and a full redemption of two preferred equity investments, both yielding a 9.0% return. The Company recorded $0.3 million of income from prepayment penalties as the result of an early redemption, which has been excluded from Core FFO.

Liquidity and Balance Sheet

Common Stock

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock through its equity distribution program or repurchase any shares through its stock repurchase plan.

Year-to-date through July 26, 2023, the Company has repurchased 437,026 shares of its common stock totaling $95.7 million, including commissions, at an average price per share of $218.88. As of July 26, 2023, the Company has $302.7 million of purchase authority remaining under its stock repurchase plan.

Balance Sheet

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company closed $298.0 million in 10-year secured loans priced at 5.08% fixed interest rate. The proceeds are intended to repay a majority of the Company’s $400.0 million unsecured notes due in May 2024 upon maturity. In the interim, the Company will reinvest the proceeds in short-term cash accounts, which will be slightly accretive to Total and Core FFO until the notes are repaid.

As of July 26, 2023, the Company had approximately $1.6 billion in liquidity via undrawn capacity on its unsecured credit facilities, cash, and marketable securities.

Guidance

For the second quarter of 2023, the Company exceeded the midpoint of the guidance range provided in its first quarter 2023 earnings release for Core FFO by $0.08 per diluted share. The better-than-expected results are primarily attributable to favorable same-property revenues relating to higher occupancy and lower property taxes within the Company's Washington portfolio.

The following table provides a reconciliation of second quarter 2023 Core FFO per diluted share to the midpoint of the guidance provided in the Company’s first quarter 2023 earnings release.

	Per Diluted Share
Projected midpoint of Core FFO per diluted share for Q2 2023	$	3.69
NOI from consolidated communities		0.06
FFO from Co-Investments		0.01
G&A and other		0.01
Core FFO per diluted share for Q2 2023 reported	$	3.77

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 on sales of real estate and extraordinary items. Management considers FFO and FFO which excludes non-core items, which is referred to as “Core FFO,” to be useful supplemental operating performance measures of an equity REIT because, together with net income and cash flows, FFO and Core FFO provide investors with additional bases to evaluate the operating performance and ability of a REIT to incur and service debt and to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures and to pay dividends. By excluding gains or losses related to sales of depreciated operating properties and land 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 can help investors compare the operating performance of a real estate company between periods or as compared to different companies. By further adjusting for items that are not considered part of the Company’s core business operations, Core FFO allows investors to compare the core operating performance of the Company 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 and Core FFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are not intended to indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of the REIT's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO and Core FFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all cash needs including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO and Core FFO also do 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.

The following table sets forth the Company’s calculation of diluted FFO and Core FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands, except for share and per share amounts):

Net Operating Income (“NOI”) and Same-Property NOI Reconciliations

NOI and same-property NOI are considered by management to be important supplemental performance measures to earnings from operations included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The presentation of same-property NOI assists with the presentation of the Company’s operations prior to the allocation of depreciation and any corporate-level or financing-related costs. NOI reflects the operating performance of a community and allows for an easy comparison of the operating performance of individual communities or groups of communities. In addition, because prospective buyers of real estate have different financing and overhead structures, with varying marginal impacts to overhead by acquiring real estate, NOI is considered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful measure for determining the value of a real estate asset or group of assets. The Company defines same-property NOI as same-property revenues less same-property operating expenses, including property taxes. Please see the reconciliation of earnings from operations to NOI and same-property NOI, which in the table below is the NOI for stabilized properties consolidated by the Company for the periods presented (dollars in thousands):

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms

Adjusted EBITDAre Reconciliation

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT”) defines earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate ("EBITDAre") (September 2017 White Paper) as net income (computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP")) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and further adjusted for gains and losses from sales of depreciated operating properties, impairment write-downs of depreciated operating properties, impairment write-downs of investments in unconsolidated entities caused by a decrease in value of depreciated operating properties within the joint venture and adjustments to reflect the Company’s share of EBITDAre of investments in unconsolidated entities.The Company believes that EBITDAre is useful to investors, creditors and rating agencies as a supplemental measure of the Company’s ability to incur and service debt because it is a recognized measure of performance by the real estate industry, and by excluding gains or losses related to sales or impairment of depreciated operating properties, EBITDAre can help compare the Company’s credit strength between periods or as compared to different companies.Adjusted EBITDAre represents EBITDAre further adjusted for non-comparable items and is a component of the credit ratio, "Net Indebtedness Divided by Adjusted EBITDAre, normalized and annualized," presented on page S-6, in the section titled "Selected Credit Ratios," and it is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not consider certain cash requirements such as income tax payments, debt service requirements, capital expenditures and other fixed charges.Adjusted EBITDAre is an important metric in evaluating the credit strength of the Company and its ability to service its debt obligations.  The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDAre is useful to investors, creditors and rating agencies because it allows investors to compare the Company’s credit strength to prior reporting periods and to other 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 credit quality.
EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are not recognized measurements under U.S. GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

The reconciliations of Net Income available to common stockholders to EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are presented in the table below:

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms

Disposition Yield

Net operating income that the Company anticipates giving up in the next 12 months less an estimate of property management costs allocated to the project divided by the gross sales price of the asset.

Encumbered

Encumbered means any mortgage, deed of trust, lien, charge, pledge, security interest, security agreement or other encumbrance of any kind.

Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Core FFO

FFO, as defined by 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 on sales of real estate and extraordinary items. Management considers FFO and FFO which excludes non-core items, which is referred to as “Core FFO,” to be useful supplemental operating performance measures of an equity REIT because, together with net income and cash flows, FFO and Core FFO provide investors with additional bases to evaluate the operating performance and ability of a REIT to incur and service debt and to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures and to pay dividends. By excluding gains or losses related to sales of depreciated operating properties and land 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 can help investors compare the operating performance of a real estate company between periods or as compared to different companies. By further adjusting for items that are not considered part of the Company’s core business operations, Core FFO allows investors to compare the core operating performance of the Company 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 and Core FFO do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. GAAP and are not intended to indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to net income as an indicator of the REIT's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO and Core FFO do not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all cash needs including principal amortization, capital improvements and distributions to stockholders. FFO and Core FFO also do 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.The reconciliations of diluted FFO and Core FFO are detailed on page S-3 in the section titled "Consolidated Funds From Operations".

Net Operating Income ("NOI") and Same-Property NOI Reconciliations

NOI and same-property NOI are considered by management to be important supplemental performance measures to earnings from operations included in the Company’s consolidated statements of income. The presentation of same-property NOI assists with the presentation of the Company’s operations prior to the allocation of depreciation and any corporate-level or financing-related costs. NOI reflects the operating performance of a community and allows for an easy comparison of the operating performance of individual communities or groups of communities.In addition, because prospective buyers of real estate have different financing and overhead structures, with varying marginal impacts to overhead by acquiring real estate, NOI is considered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful measure for determining the value of a real estate asset or group of assets. The Company defines same-property NOI as same-property revenues less same-property operating expenses, including property taxes. Please see the reconciliation of earnings from operations to NOI and same-property NOI, which in the table below is the NOI for stabilized properties consolidated by the Company for the periods presented:

Reconciliations of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms

Public Bond Covenants

Public Bond Covenants refer to certain covenants set forth in instruments governing the Company's unsecured indebtedness. These instruments require the Company to meet specified financial covenants, including covenants relating to net worth, fixed charge coverage, debt service coverage, the amounts of total indebtedness and secured indebtedness, leverage and certain investment limitations. These covenants may restrict the Company's ability to expand or fully pursue its business strategies. The Company's ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by changes in the Company's operating and financial performance, changes in general business and economic conditions, adverse regulatory developments or other events adversely impacting it. The breach of any of these covenants could result in a default under the Company's indebtedness, which could cause those and other obligations to become due and payable. If any of the Company's indebtedness is accelerated, the Company may not be able to repay it. For risks related to failure to comply with these covenants, see "Item 1A: Risk Factors - Risks Related to Our Indebtedness and Financings" in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K and other reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").

The ratios set forth on page S-6 in the section titled "Public Bond Covenants" are provided only to show the Company's compliance with certain specified covenants that are contained in indentures related to the Company's issuance of Senior Notes, which indentures are filed by the Company with the SEC. See, for example, the Indenture dated March 1, 2021, filed by the Company as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company's Form 8-K, filed on March 1, 2021. These ratios should not be used for any other purpose, including without limitation to evaluate the Company's financial condition or results of operations, nor do they indicate the Company's covenant compliance as of any other date or for any other period. The capitalized terms in the disclosure are defined in the indentures filed by the Company with the SEC and may differ materially from similar terms used by other companies that present information about their covenant compliance.

Secured Debt

Secured Debt means debt of the Company or any of its subsidiaries which is secured by an encumbrance on any property or assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Company's total amount of Secured Debt is set forth on page S-5.

Unencumbered NOI to Adjusted Total NOI

This ratio is presented on page S-6 in the section titled "Selected Credit Ratios". Unencumbered NOI means the sum of NOI for those real estate assets which are not subject to an encumbrance securing debt. The ratio of Unencumbered NOI to Adjusted Total NOI for the three months ended June 30, 2023, annualized, is calculated by dividing Unencumbered NOI, annualized for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and as further adjusted for pro forma NOI for properties acquired or sold during the recent quarter, by Adjusted Total NOI as annualized. The calculation and reconciliation of NOI is set forth in "Net Operating Income ("NOI") and Same-Property NOI Reconciliations" above. This ratio is presented by the Company because it provides rating agencies and investors an additional means of comparing the Company's ability to service debt obligations to that of other companies.

The calculation of this ratio is presented in the table below:
