Briefing

Announced fourth quarter and full-year 2021 results.

Essex Property Trust reported a strong fourth quarter and full year in 2021, driven by rent growth in Southern California and positive momentum in Northern California and Seattle. Core FFO exceeded expectations, and same-property gross revenue and NOI growth were positive.

  • Net Income per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2021 was $2.10, compared to $1.47 in the fourth quarter of 2020.
  • Total FFO per diluted share was $4.30, a 32.7% increase over the fourth quarter of 2020, attributed to an unrealized gain related to the Company’s investment in technology co-investments and a one-time legal settlement.
  • Core FFO per diluted share improved by 7.6% compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.
  • Same-property gross revenue and NOI growth of 4.0% and 4.7%, respectively, compared to the fourth quarter of 2020.
