Equity Residential reports Q4 FFO $1.00, consensus $1.00

In FY24, same store revenues increased 3.0%, same store expenses increased 2.9% and same store Net Operating Income increased 3.1%. “Our 2024 operating results were solid and generally consistent with our expectations. We expect a steady improvement in our same store revenue results as we go through 2025 driven by higher lease rate growth, continued elevated occupancy levels and significant contributions from other income in 2025. Our view is underpinned by an assumption that the economy remains steady and is supported by continuing subdued levels of supply in our mostly coastal footprint, an expectation of positive employment conditions for our higher earning renter demographic and continued value creation by our industry leading operations platform. With new apartment supply in 2026 at decade lows in our coastal markets and declining significantly in our Expansion Markets of Atlanta, Dallas and Denver, the longer term set up for our business is outstanding,” said Mark J. Parrell, Equity Residential’s (EQR) President and CEO.
