Table of Contents NEWS RELEASE - FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 22, 2026 Equity Residential Reports Second Quarter 2026 Results Raises Full Year Operating Guidance Chicago, IL – July 22, 2026 - Equity Residential (NYSE: EQR) today reported results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 and has posted a Q2 2026 Management Presentation to its website as referenced below. Second Quarter 2026 Results All per share results are reported as available to common shares/units on a diluted basis.

Recent Highlights • On May 21, 2026, the Company and AvalonBay Communities, Inc. (NYSE: AVB) ("AvalonBay") announced a definitive agreement to combine in an all- stock merger of equals, creating one of the country's leading real estate companies with the differentiated scale, capabilities, and balance sheet strength to expand margins, accelerate growth, and redefine leadership in rental housing. The combined company will have a pro forma equity market capitalization of approximately $53 billion and a total enterprise value of approximately $71 billion, with more than 180,000 rental apartments. • For the second quarter of 2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, same store revenues increased 1.9%, same store expenses increased 3.0% and same store Net Operating Income (NOI) increased 1.4%. Same store revenue growth is being driven by strong Physical Occupancy and better than anticipated Renewal Rate Achieved. • The Company raised the midpoint of its guidance range for same store revenues and NOI. The same store revenue improvement is primarily being driven by strong momentum in the San Francisco market along with improvements in Bad Debt, Net across the portfolio. These midpoints reflect what Equity Residential would expect to achieve if it operated as a standalone entity for the full year of 2026. • During the second quarter of 2026, the Company sold two properties, one in the Los Angeles market and one in the San Francisco market, consisting of 515 apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of approximately $164.0 million.

Table of Contents “We are pleased to increase our same store revenue and NOI annual guidance as a result of a solid demand environment characterized by occupancy and resident retention that remain at historically high levels. An increasingly supportive job market combined with declining levels of new supply in most of our markets sets the combined company up for great success," said Mark J. Parrell, Equity Residential’s President and CEO. “We are proud of the legacy we have created at Equity Residential and very excited about what the future holds for the combined company.” Full Year 2026 Guidance The Company has provided guidance for its full year 2026 same store operating performance as listed below:

Revised Previous Change at Midpoint Same Store (includes Residential and Non-Residential): Physical Occupancy 96.3% 96.4% -0.1% Revenue change 2.1% to 2.7% 1.2% to 3.2% 0.2% Expense change 3.0% to 4.0% 3.0% to 4.0% 0.0% NOI change 1.5% to 2.1% 0.5% to 2.5% 0.3%

The above guidance is solely with respect to the Company's existing Same Store Properties, reflects what we would expect to achieve if we operated as a standalone entity for the full year of 2026. The Company has withdrawn its EPS, FFO per share and Normalized FFO per share guidance (and related components of these measures such as interest expense) due to the pendency of the merger. The Company has a glossary of defined terms and related reconciliations of Non-GAAP financial measures on pages 29 through 34 of this release.

(1) The year-over-year changes were primarily driven by the following factors: Real estate taxes – Increase due to escalation in rates and assessed values. On- site payroll – Sub-inflationary growth due to the impact of various innovation initiatives and lower employee benefit costs. Utilities – Increase primarily driven by higher costs for trash removal and higher commodity prices, particularly impacting electricity and gas. Repairs and maintenance – Increase primarily driven by costs associated with the implementation of various resident technology initiatives (including bulk Wi-Fi programs), which is more than offset by a corresponding increase in same store revenues. Insurance – Increase primarily driven by higher general liability premiums and property casualty losses, partially offset by lower property premiums. Leasing and advertising – Increase primarily driven by higher interactive marketing/advertising costs, processing fees and certain one-time broker fee costs related to Non-Residential leasing activity.

(1) All unconsolidated projects are being partially funded with third party, project-specific construction loans, none of which are recourse to the Company. (2) Modera Bridle Trails is considered complete because all certificates of occupancy have been received. Though Modera South Shore has progressed further with development and lease-up, not all certificates of occupancy have yet been received for that project and thus it is still considered under development.

Equity ResidentialAdditional Reconciliations and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms(Amounts in thousands except per share and per apartment unit data)(All per share data is diluted)

This Earnings Release and Supplemental Financial Information includes certain non-GAAP financial measures and other terms that management believes are helpful in understanding our business. The definitions and calculations of these non- GAAP financial measures and other terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies used by other real estate investment trusts (“REIT”) and, accordingly, may not be comparable. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net earnings or any other measurement of performance computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) or as an alternative to cash flows from specific operating, investing or financing activities. Furthermore, these non-GAAP financial measures are not intended to be a measure of cash flow or liquidity. Acquisition Capitalization Rate or Cap Rate – NOI that the Company anticipates receiving in the next 12 months (or the year two or three stabilized NOI for properties that are in lease-up at acquisition) less an estimate of property management costs/management fees allocated to the project (generally ranging from 3.0% to 4.0% of revenues depending on the size and income streams of the asset) and less an estimate for in-the-unit replacement capital expenditures (generally ranging from $100-$450 per apartment unit depending on the age and condition of the asset) divided by the gross purchase price of the asset. The weighted average Acquisition Cap Rate for acquired properties is weighted based on the projected NOI streams and the relative purchase price for each respective property. Average Rental Rate – Total Residential rental revenues reflected on a straight-line basis in accordance with GAAP divided by the weighted average occupied apartment units for the reporting period presented. Bad Debt, Net – Change in rental income due to bad debt write-offs and reserves, net of amounts collected on previously written-off or reserved accounts. Blended Rate – The weighted average of New Lease Change and Renewal Rate Achieved. Capital Expenditures to Real Estate : Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) – Includes costs to convert existing underutilized spaces of our properties into new apartment units. NOI-Enhancing – Primarily includes Renovation Expenditures as well as sustainability, property-level technology and ADU expenditures that are intended to increase revenues or decrease expenses. Recurring – Capital expenditures necessary to help preserve the value of and maintain the functionality of our apartment properties. Renovation Expenditures – Apartment unit renovation costs (primarily kitchens and baths) designed to reposition these units for higher rental levels in their respective markets. Debt Balances: Commercial Paper Program – The Company may borrow up to a maximum of $1.5 billion under its Commercial Paper Program subject to market conditions. The notes bear interest at various floating rates. Revolving Credit Facility – The Company’s $2.5 billion unsecured revolving credit facility matures December 3, 2030. The interest rate on advances under the facility will generally be SOFR plus a spread (currently 0.725%), or based on bids received from the lending group, and an annual facility fee (currently 0.125%). Both the spread and the facility fee are dependent on the Company’s senior unsecured credit rating. In addition, the Company limits its utilization of the facility in order to maintain liquidity to support its $1.5 billion Commercial Paper Program along with certain other obligations. The following table presents the availability on the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility:

June 30, 2026 ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────── Unsecured revolving credit facility $ 2,500,000 commitment Commercial paper balance outstanding (668,000 ) Unsecured revolving credit facility — balance outstanding Other restricted amounts (3,464 ) Unsecured revolving credit facility $ 1,828,536 availability

Debt Covenant Compliance – Our unsecured debt includes certain financial and operating covenants including, among other things, maintenance of certain financial ratios. These provisions are contained in the indentures applicable to each notes payable or the credit agreement for our line of credit. The Debt Covenant Compliance ratios that are provided show the Company's compliance with certain covenants governing our public unsecured debt. These covenants generally reflect our most restrictive financial covenants. The Company was in compliance with its unsecured debt covenants for all periods presented.

Development Yield – NOI that the Company anticipates receiving in the next 12 months following stabilization less an estimate of property management costs/management fees allocated to the project (generally ranging from 3.0% to 4.0% of revenues depending on the size and income streams of the asset) and less an estimate for in-the-unit replacement capital expenditures (generally ranging from $50-$150 per apartment unit depending on the type of asset) divided by the Total Budgeted Capital Cost of the asset. The weighted average Development Yield for development properties is weighted based on the projected NOI streams and the relative Total Budgeted Capital Cost for each respective property. Disposition Yield – NOI that the Company anticipates giving up in the next 12 months less an estimate of property management costs/management fees allocated to the project (generally ranging from 3.0% to 4.0% of revenues depending on the size and income streams of the asset) and less an estimate for in-the-unit replacement capital expenditures (generally ranging from $250-$600 per apartment unit depending on the age and condition of the asset) divided by the gross sales price of the asset. The weighted average Disposition Yield for sold properties is weighted based on the projected NOI streams and the relative sales price for each respective property. Earnings Per Share ("EPS") – Net income per share calculated in accordance with GAAP. Expected EPS is calculated on a basis consistent with actual EPS. Due to the uncertain timing and extent of property dispositions and the resulting gains/losses on sales, actual EPS could differ materially from expected EPS. EBITDA for Real Estate and Normalized EBITDA for Real Estate: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”) – The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) defines EBITDAre (September 2017 White Paper) as net income (computed in accordance with 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. Normalized Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“Normalized EBITDAre”) – Represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense, and further adjusted for non-comparable items. Normalized EBITDAre, total debt to Normalized EBITDAre and net debt to Normalized EBITDAre are important metrics in evaluating the credit strength of the Company and its ability to service its debt obligations. The Company believes that Normalized EBITDAre, total debt to Normalized EBITDAre, and net debt to Normalized EBITDAre are useful to investors, creditors and rating agencies because they allow 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. Economic Gain (Loss) – Economic Gain (Loss) is calculated as the net gain (loss) on sales of real estate properties in accordance with GAAP, excluding accumulated depreciation. The Company generally considers Economic Gain (Loss) to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net gain (loss) on sales of real estate properties in accordance with GAAP because it is one indication of the gross value created by the Company's acquisition, development, renovation, management and ultimate sale of a property and because it helps investors to understand the relationship between the cash proceeds from a sale and the cash invested in the sold property. The following table presents a reconciliation of net gain (loss) on sales of real estate properties in accordance with GAAP to Economic Gain (Loss):

Equity ResidentialAdditional Reconciliations and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms – Continued(Amounts in thousands except per share and per apartment unit data)(All per share data is diluted)

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)–Nareit defines FFO (December 2018White Paper) as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP),excluding gains or losses from sales and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate and land when connected to the main business of a REIT, impairment write-downs of investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and depreciation andamortization related to real estate. Adjustments for partially owned consolidated and unconsolidated partnershipsand joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Expected FFO per share is calculated on a basis consistent with actual FFO per share and is considered an appropriate supplemental measure of expectedoperating performance when compared to expected EPS.

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 from sales and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate and excluding depreciation related to real estate (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.

Normalized Funds From Operations ("Normalized FFO" or "NFFO")– Normalized FFObegins with FFO and excludes:

the impact of any expenses relating to non-operating real estate asset impairment;

gains and losses from early debt extinguishment and preferred share redemptions;

Expected Normalized FFO per share is calculated on a basis consistent with actual Normalized FFO per share and is considered an appropriate supplemental measure of expected operating performance when compared to expected EPS.

The Company 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.

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 GAAP. 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 following table presents reconciliations of EPS to FFO per share and Normalized FFO per share for Consolidated Statements of Funds From Operations and Normalized Funds From Operations .

(1) See Adjustments from FFO to Normalized FFO for additional detail. Lease-Up NOI – Represents NOI for development properties: (i) in various stages of lease- up; and (ii) where lease-up has been completed but the properties were not stabilized (defined as having achieved 90% Physical Occupancy for three consecutive months) for all of the current and comparable periods presented. Leasing Concessions – Reflects upfront discounts on both new move-in and renewal leases on a straight-line basis. Net Operating Income (“NOI”) – NOI is the Company’s primary financial measure for evaluating each of its apartment properties. NOI is defined as rental income less direct property operating expenses (including real estate taxes and insurance). 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 properties. NOI does not include an allocation of property management expenses either in the current or comparable periods. Rental income for all leases and operating expense for ground leases (for both same store and non-same store properties) are reflected on a straight-line basis in accordance with GAAP for the current and comparable periods. The following tables present reconciliations of net income per the consolidated statements of operations to NOI, along with rental income, operating expenses and NOI per the consolidated statements of operations allocated between same store and non-same store/other results and further allocated between Residential same store and Non-Residential same store results (see Same Store Results ):

Equity ResidentialAdditional Reconciliations and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms – Continued(Amounts in thousands except per share and per apartment unit data)(All per share data is diluted)

Percentage of Residents Renewing – Leases renewed expressed as a percentage of total renewal offers extended during the reporting period. Physical Occupancy – The weighted average occupied apartment units for the reporting period divided by the average of total apartment units available for rent for the reporting period. Pricing Trend – Weighted average of 12-month base rent including amenity amount less Leasing Concessions on 12-month signed leases for the reporting period. Renewal Rate Achieved – The net effective change in rent (inclusive of Leasing Concessions) for a new lease on an apartment unit where the lease has been renewed as compared to the rent for the prior lease of the identical apartment unit, regardless of lease term. Residential – Consists of multifamily apartment revenues and expenses. Same Store Operating Expenses : Insurance – Includes third-party insurance premiums, broker fees and other insurance-related procurement fees along with an allocation of estimated uninsured losses. On-site Payroll – Includes payroll and related expenses for on-site personnel including property managers, leasing consultants and maintenance staff. Other On-site Operating Expenses – Includes ground lease costs and administrative costs such as office supplies, telephone and data charges and association and business licensing fees.

Equity ResidentialAdditional Reconciliations and Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Other Terms – Continued(Amounts in thousands except per share and per apartment unit data)(All per share data is diluted)

Same Store Properties– For annual comparisons, primarily includes all properties acquired or completed that are stabilized prior to January 1, 2025, less properties subsequently sold. Properties are included in Same Store when they are stabilized for all of the current and comparable periods presented. Unless otherwise noted, includes both Residential and Non-Residential operations for these properties.

Same Store Residential Revenues–Revenues from our Residential Same Store Properties only presented on a GAAP basis which reflects the impact of Leasing Concessions on a straight-line basis.

Same Store Residential Revenues with Leasing Concessions on a cash basis is presented inSame Store Resultsand is considered by the Company to be a supplemental measure to Same Store Residential Revenues in conformity with GAAP to help investors evaluate the impact of both current and historical Leasing Concessions on GAAP-based Same Store Residential Revenues and to more readily enable comparisons to revenue as reported by other companies. Same Store Residential Revenues with Leasing Concessions on a cash basis reflects the impact of Leasing Concessions used in the period and allows an investor to understand the historical trend in cash Leasing Concessions.

% of Stabilized Budgeted NOI– Represents original budgeted 2026 NOI for stabilized properties and projected annual NOI at stabilization (defined as having achieved 90% Physical Occupancy for three consecutive months) for properties that are in lease-up.

Total Budgeted Capital Cost– Estimated remaining cost for projects under development and/or developed plus all capitalized costs incurred to date, including land acquisition costs, construction costs, capitalized real estate taxes and insurance, capitalized interest and loan fees, permits, professional fees, allocated development overhead and other regulatory fees, plus any estimates of costs remaining to be funded for all projects, all in accordance with GAAP. Amounts for partially owned consolidated and unconsolidated properties are presented at 100% of the project.

Total Market Capitalization– The aggregate of the market value of the Company’s outstanding common shares, including restricted shares, the market value of the Company’s operating partnership units outstanding, including restricted units (based on the market value of the Company’s common shares) and the outstanding principal balance of debt. The Company believes this is a useful measure of a real estate operating company’s long-term liquidity and balance sheet strength, because it shows an approximate relationship between a company’s total debt and the current total market value of its assets based on the current price at which the Company’s common shares trade. However, because this measure of leverage changes with fluctuations in the Company’s share price, which occur regularly, this measure may change even when the Company’s earnings, interest and debt levels remain stable.

Traffic– Consists of an expression of interest in an apartment by completing an in-person tour, self-guided tour or virtual tour that may result in an application to lease.

Transaction Accretion (Dilution)– Represents the spread between the Acquisition Cap Rate and the Disposition Yield.

Turnover–Total Residential move-outs (including inter-property and intra- property transfers) divided by total Residential apartment units. Retention rate is the opposite of Turnover.

Unencumbered NOI %– Represents NOI generated by consolidated real estate assets unencumbered by outstanding secured debt as a percentage of total NOI generated by all of the Company's consolidated real estate assets.

Weighted Average Coupons– Contractual interest rate for each debt instrument weighted by principal balances as of June 30, 2026. In case of debt for which fair value hedges are in place, the rate payable under the corresponding derivatives is used in lieu of the contractual interest rate.

Weighted Average Rates– Interest expense for each debt instrument for the six months ended June 30, 2026 weighted by its average principal balance for the same period. Interest expense includes amortization of premiums, discounts and other comprehensive income on debt and related derivative instruments. In case of debt for which derivatives are in place, the income or expense recognized under the corresponding derivatives is included in the total interest expense for the period.

Recent Highlights • On May 21, 2026, the Company and AvalonBay Communities, Inc.
(NYSE: AVB) ("AvalonBay") announced a definitive agreement to combine in an all-
stock merger of equals, creating one of the country's leading real estate
companies with the differentiated scale, capabilities, and balance sheet
strength to expand margins, accelerate growth, and redefine leadership in rental
housing. The combined company will have a pro forma equity market capitalization
of approximately $53 billion and a total enterprise value of approximately $71
billion, with more than 180,000 rental apartments. • For the second quarter of
2026 compared to the second quarter of 2025, same store revenues increased 1.9%,
same store expenses increased 3.0% and same store Net Operating Income (NOI)
increased 1.4%. Same store revenue growth is being driven by strong Physical
Occupancy and better than anticipated Renewal Rate Achieved. • The Company
raised the midpoint of its guidance range for same store revenues and NOI. The
same store revenue improvement is primarily being driven by strong momentum in
the San Francisco market along with improvements in Bad Debt, Net across the
portfolio. These midpoints reflect what Equity Residential would expect to
achieve if it operated as a standalone entity for the full year of 2026. •
During the second quarter of 2026, the Company sold two properties, one in the
Los Angeles market and one in the San Francisco market, consisting of 515
apartment units, for an aggregate sale price of approximately $164.0 million.

“We are pleased to increase our same store revenue and NOI annual guidance as a
result of a solid demand environment characterized by occupancy and resident
retention that remain at historically high levels. An increasingly supportive
job market combined with declining levels of new supply in most of our markets
sets the combined company up for great success," said Mark J. Parrell, Equity
Residential’s President and CEO. “We are proud of the legacy we have created at
Equity Residential and very excited about what the future holds for the combined
company.” Full Year 2026 Guidance The Company has provided guidance for its full
year 2026 same store operating performance as listed below:

The above guidance is solely with respect to the Company's existing Same Store
Properties, reflects what we would expect to achieve if we operated as a
standalone entity for the full year of 2026. The Company has withdrawn its EPS,
FFO per share and Normalized FFO per share guidance (and related components of
these measures such as interest expense) due to the pendency of the merger. The
Company has a glossary of defined terms and related reconciliations of Non-GAAP
financial measures on pages 29 through 34 of this release. Results Per Share The
changes in EPS for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to
the same periods of 2025 are due primarily to lower property sale gains, the
various adjustment items listed on page 28 of this release and the items
described below. The per share changes in FFO for the quarter and six months
ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods of 2025 are due primarily to
the various adjustment items listed on page 28 of this release and the items
described below. The per share changes in Normalized FFO are due primarily to:

(1) The year-over-year changes were primarily driven by the following factors:
Real estate taxes – Increase due to escalation in rates and assessed values. On-
site payroll – Sub-inflationary growth due to the impact of various innovation
initiatives and lower employee benefit costs. Utilities – Increase primarily
driven by higher costs for trash removal and higher commodity prices,
particularly impacting electricity and gas. Repairs and maintenance – Increase
primarily driven by costs associated with the implementation of various resident
technology initiatives (including bulk Wi-Fi programs), which is more than
offset by a corresponding increase in same store revenues. Insurance – Increase
primarily driven by higher general liability premiums and property casualty
losses, partially offset by lower property premiums. Leasing and advertising –
Increase primarily driven by higher interactive marketing/advertising costs,
processing fees and certain one-time broker fee costs related to Non-Residential
leasing activity. (2) See Additional Reconciliations and Definitions of Non-GAAP

(1) All unconsolidated projects are being partially funded with third party,
project-specific construction loans, none of which are recourse to the Company.
(2) Modera Bridle Trails is considered complete because all certificates of
occupancy have been received. Though Modera South Shore has progressed further
with development and lease-up, not all certificates of occupancy have yet been
received for that project and thus it is still considered under development.

This Earnings Release and Supplemental Financial Information includes certain
non-GAAP financial measures and other terms that management believes are helpful
in understanding our business. The definitions and calculations of these non-
GAAP financial measures and other terms may differ from the definitions and
methodologies used by other real estate investment trusts (“REIT”) and,
accordingly, may not be comparable. These non-GAAP financial measures should not
be considered as an alternative to net earnings or any other measurement of
performance computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States (“GAAP”) or as an alternative to cash flows from specific
operating, investing or financing activities. Furthermore, these non-GAAP
financial measures are not intended to be a measure of cash flow or liquidity.
Acquisition Capitalization Rate or Cap Rate – NOI that the Company anticipates
receiving in the next 12 months (or the year two or three stabilized NOI for
properties that are in lease-up at acquisition) less an estimate of property
management costs/management fees allocated to the project (generally ranging
from 3.0% to 4.0% of revenues depending on the size and income streams of the
asset) and less an estimate for in-the-unit replacement capital expenditures
(generally ranging from $100-$450 per apartment unit depending on the age and
condition of the asset) divided by the gross purchase price of the asset. The
weighted average Acquisition Cap Rate for acquired properties is weighted based
on the projected NOI streams and the relative purchase price for each respective
property. Average Rental Rate – Total Residential rental revenues reflected on a
straight-line basis in accordance with GAAP divided by the weighted average
occupied apartment units for the reporting period presented. Bad Debt, Net –
Change in rental income due to bad debt write-offs and reserves, net of amounts
collected on previously written-off or reserved accounts. Blended Rate – The
weighted average of New Lease Change and Renewal Rate Achieved. Capital
Expenditures to Real Estate : Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) – Includes costs to
convert existing underutilized spaces of our properties into new apartment
units. NOI-Enhancing – Primarily includes Renovation Expenditures as well as
sustainability, property-level technology and ADU expenditures that are intended
to increase revenues or decrease expenses. Recurring – Capital expenditures
necessary to help preserve the value of and maintain the functionality of our
apartment properties. Renovation Expenditures – Apartment unit renovation costs
(primarily kitchens and baths) designed to reposition these units for higher
rental levels in their respective markets. Debt Balances: Commercial Paper
Program – The Company may borrow up to a maximum of $1.5 billion under its
Commercial Paper Program subject to market conditions. The notes bear interest
at various floating rates. Revolving Credit Facility – The Company’s $2.5
billion unsecured revolving credit facility matures December 3, 2030. The
interest rate on advances under the facility will generally be SOFR plus a
spread (currently 0.725%), or based on bids received from the lending group, and
an annual facility fee (currently 0.125%). Both the spread and the facility fee
are dependent on the Company’s senior unsecured credit rating. In addition, the
Company limits its utilization of the facility in order to maintain liquidity to
support its $1.5 billion Commercial Paper Program along with certain other
obligations. The following table presents the availability on the Company’s
unsecured revolving credit facility:

Debt Covenant Compliance – Our unsecured debt includes certain financial and
operating covenants including, among other things, maintenance of certain
financial ratios. These provisions are contained in the indentures applicable to
each notes payable or the credit agreement for our line of credit. The Debt
Covenant Compliance ratios that are provided show the Company's compliance with
certain covenants governing our public unsecured debt. These covenants generally
reflect our most restrictive financial covenants. The Company was in compliance
with its unsecured debt covenants for all periods presented.

Development Yield – NOI that the Company anticipates receiving in the next 12
months following stabilization less an estimate of property management
costs/management fees allocated to the project (generally ranging from 3.0% to
4.0% of revenues depending on the size and income streams of the asset) and less
an estimate for in-the-unit replacement capital expenditures (generally ranging
from $50-$150 per apartment unit depending on the type of asset) divided by the
Total Budgeted Capital Cost of the asset. The weighted average Development Yield
for development properties is weighted based on the projected NOI streams and
the relative Total Budgeted Capital Cost for each respective property.
Disposition Yield – NOI that the Company anticipates giving up in the next 12
months less an estimate of property management costs/management fees allocated
to the project (generally ranging from 3.0% to 4.0% of revenues depending on the
size and income streams of the asset) and less an estimate for in-the-unit
replacement capital expenditures (generally ranging from $250-$600 per apartment
unit depending on the age and condition of the asset) divided by the gross sales
price of the asset. The weighted average Disposition Yield for sold properties
is weighted based on the projected NOI streams and the relative sales price for
each respective property. Earnings Per Share ("EPS") – Net income per share
calculated in accordance with GAAP. Expected EPS is calculated on a basis
consistent with actual EPS. Due to the uncertain timing and extent of property
dispositions and the resulting gains/losses on sales, actual EPS could differ
materially from expected EPS. EBITDA for Real Estate and Normalized EBITDA for
Real Estate: Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for
Real Estate (“EBITDAre”) – The National Association of Real Estate Investment
Trusts (“Nareit”) defines EBITDAre (September 2017 White Paper) as net income
(computed in accordance with 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. Normalized Earnings
Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate
(“Normalized EBITDAre”) – Represents net income (computed in accordance with
GAAP) before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization
expense, and further adjusted for non-comparable items. Normalized EBITDAre,
total debt to Normalized EBITDAre and net debt to Normalized EBITDAre are
important metrics in evaluating the credit strength of the Company and its
ability to service its debt obligations. The Company believes that Normalized
EBITDAre, total debt to Normalized EBITDAre, and net debt to Normalized EBITDAre
are useful to investors, creditors and rating agencies because they allow
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. Economic Gain (Loss) – Economic Gain (Loss) is calculated as the net
gain (loss) on sales of real estate properties in accordance with GAAP,
excluding accumulated depreciation. The Company generally considers Economic
Gain (Loss) to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net gain (loss) on
sales of real estate properties in accordance with GAAP because it is one
indication of the gross value created by the Company's acquisition, development,
renovation, management and ultimate sale of a property and because it helps
investors to understand the relationship between the cash proceeds from a sale
and the cash invested in the sold property. The following table presents a
reconciliation of net gain (loss) on sales of real estate properties in
accordance with GAAP to Economic Gain (Loss):

FFO and Normalized FFO:

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)–Nareit defines FFO (December 2018White Paper) as
net income (computed in accordance with GAAP),excluding gains or losses from
sales and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate and land when
connected to the main business of a REIT, impairment write-downs of investments
in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the
value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and depreciation
andamortization related to real estate. Adjustments for partially owned
consolidated and unconsolidated partnershipsand joint ventures are calculated to
reflect FFO on the same basis. Expected FFO per share is calculated on a basis
consistent with actual FFO per share and is considered an appropriate
supplemental measure of expectedoperating performance when compared to expected
EPS.

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 from sales and impairment
write-downs of depreciable real estate and excluding depreciation related to
real estate (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.

Normalized Funds From Operations ("Normalized FFO" or "NFFO")– Normalized
FFObegins with FFO and excludes:

the impact of any expenses relating to non-operating real estate asset
impairment;

pursuit cost write-offs;

gains and losses from early debt extinguishment and preferred share redemptions;

gains and losses from non-operating assets; and

other miscellaneous items.

Expected Normalized FFO per share is calculated on a basis consistent with
actual Normalized FFO per share and is considered an appropriate supplemental
measure of expected operating performance when compared to expected EPS.

The Company 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.

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
GAAP. 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.

(1) See Adjustments from FFO to Normalized FFO for additional detail. Lease-Up
NOI – Represents NOI for development properties: (i) in various stages of lease-
up; and (ii) where lease-up has been completed but the properties were not
stabilized (defined as having achieved 90% Physical Occupancy for three
consecutive months) for all of the current and comparable periods presented.
Leasing Concessions – Reflects upfront discounts on both new move-in and renewal
leases on a straight-line basis. Net Operating Income (“NOI”) – NOI is the
Company’s primary financial measure for evaluating each of its apartment
properties. NOI is defined as rental income less direct property operating
expenses (including real estate taxes and insurance). 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 properties. NOI does not include an allocation of
property management expenses either in the current or comparable periods. Rental
income for all leases and operating expense for ground leases (for both same
store and non-same store properties) are reflected on a straight-line basis in
accordance with GAAP for the current and comparable periods. The following
tables present reconciliations of net income per the consolidated statements of
operations to NOI, along with rental income, operating expenses and NOI per the
consolidated statements of operations allocated between same store and non-same
store/other results and further allocated between Residential same store and
Non-Residential same store results (see Same Store Results ):

Properties only presented on a GAAP basis which reflects the impact of Leasing
Concessions on a straight-line basis.

Same Store Residential Revenues with Leasing Concessions on a cash basis is
presented inSame Store Resultsand is considered by the Company to be a
supplemental measure to Same Store Residential Revenues in conformity with GAAP
to help investors evaluate the impact of both current and historical Leasing
Concessions on GAAP-based Same Store Residential Revenues and to more readily
enable comparisons to revenue as reported by other companies. Same Store
Residential Revenues with Leasing Concessions on a cash basis reflects the
impact of Leasing Concessions used in the period and allows an investor to
understand the historical trend in cash Leasing Concessions.

% of Stabilized Budgeted NOI– Represents original budgeted 2026 NOI for

including land acquisition costs, construction costs, capitalized real estate

outstanding common shares, including restricted shares, the market value of the
Company’s operating partnership units outstanding, including restricted units
(based on the market value of the Company’s common shares) and the outstanding
principal balance of debt. The Company believes this is a useful measure of a
real estate operating company’s long-term liquidity and balance sheet strength,
because it shows an approximate relationship between a company’s total debt and
the current total market value of its assets based on the current price at which
the Company’s common shares trade. However, because this measure of leverage
changes with fluctuations in the Company’s share price, which occur regularly,
this measure may change even when the Company’s earnings, interest and debt
levels remain stable.

fair value hedges are in place, the rate payable under the corresponding
derivatives is used in lieu of the contractual interest rate.

months ended June 30, 2026 weighted by its average principal balance for the
same period. Interest expense includes amortization of premiums, discounts and
other comprehensive income on debt and related derivative instruments. In case

under the corresponding derivatives is included in the total interest expense
for the period.
