On October 26, 2021, Essex Property Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ESS) announced its third quarter 2021 earnings results and related business activities.

Third Quarter 2021 Highlights:

1. Reported Net Income per diluted share for the third quarter of 2021 of $1.82, compared to $1.13 in the third quarter of 2020 due to a higher gain on sale of real estate and no loss on early retirement of debt in the current quarter.
2. Reported Core FFO per diluted share of $3.12, exceeding the high-end of the Company’s guidance range due to better-than-expected operating results.
3. Same-property revenues and net operating income (“NOI”) increased by 2.7% and 2.2%, respectively, compared to the third quarter of 2020. The improvement is largely attributed to declining concessions in the current period compared to the prior-year period.
4. Same-property sequential revenues increased 3.2% led by an increase in scheduled rents and lower levels of concessions and delinquencies.
5. Acquired one apartment community for $53.0 million and two operating commercial properties for future apartment development for contract prices totaling $86.0 million.
6. Increased full-year Net Income per diluted share guidance range to $6.39 to $6.49. Provided Net Income guidance range for the fourth quarter of 2021 of $0.99 to $1.09 per diluted share.
7. Raised the midpoint of full-year guidance for same-property revenues and NOI by 0.2% and 0.3% respectively. Raised full-year Core FFO per diluted share guidance by $0.11 at the midpoint, to $12.44, representing a 2.3% increase from the midpoint of the Company’s original guidance.

“For the second consecutive quarter, we are pleased to report Core FFO that exceeded our expectations, driven by improving net effective rent growth. The economic recovery on the West Coast has led to a significant increase in demand for housing and September net effective rents are 6.4% above pre-COVID levels for our portfolio. The strong recovery in fundamentals and rents has led us to increase our guidance for the third time this year. We remain cautiously optimistic that the West Coast is still in the early stages of the recovery with office re-openings and associated economic growth representing an additional catalyst for continuous rental demand,” commented Michael J. Schall, President and CEO of the Company.
