“We have experienced healthy momentum in the early part of 2018, leading to improving revenues driven by occupancy rates across our portfolio. As a result, we performed ahead of the midpoint of initial guidance for Core FFO and same-property revenue growth. Positive job growth in the coastal markets of California and Washington is generating strong demand for housing, demonstrated by extraordinary increases in for-sale housing values and steady rent growth for apartments. Consistent with our first quarter results, we anticipate periodic disruption in apartment pricing power during 2018 from deliveries of new apartment communities offering large lease concessions in certain urban submarkets. We are well-positioned as we enter peak leasing season and remain on track to achieve our 2018 operating plan,” commented Michael Schall, President and CEO of the Company.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) Reconciliation
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 merger, integration and acquisition costs and items that are not routine or not related to the Company’s core business activities, which is referred to as “Core FFO”, to be useful financial 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 the ability to pay dividends.
- 5 -

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 an alternative 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 months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 (in thousands, except for share and per share amounts):

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders and unitholders |  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Net income available to common stockholders |  | $ | 90,918 |  |  | $ | 178,964 |
Adjustments: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Depreciation and amortization |  |  | 119,105 |  |  |  | 115,503 |
Gains not included in FFO |  |  | - |  |  |  | (112,656 | )
Depreciation and amortization add back from unconsolidated co-investments |  |  | 15,859 |  |  |  | 12,854 |
Noncontrolling interest related to Operating Partnership units |  |  | 3,132 |  |  |  | 6,146 |
Depreciation attributable to third party ownership and other |  |  | (232 | ) |  |  | (25 | )
Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders and unitholders |  | $ | 228,782 |  |  | $ | 200,786 |
FFO per share – diluted |  | $ | 3.35 |  |  | $ | 2.95 |
Expensed acquisition and investment related costs |  | $ | 57 |  |  | $ | 556 |
Gain on sale of marketable securities |  |  | (680 | ) |  |  | (1,605 | )
Unrealized losses on marketable securities |  |  | 876 |  |  |  | - |
Interest rate hedge ineffectiveness (1) |  |  | 56 |  |  |  | (6 | )
Co-investment promote income |  |  | (20,541 | ) |  |  | - |
Income from early redemption of preferred equity investments |  |  | (24 | ) |  |  | - |
Insurance reimbursements, legal settlements, and other, net |  |  | 2,433 |  |  |  | (25 | )
Core Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders and unitholders |  | $ | 210,959 |  |  | $ | 199,706 |
Core FFO per share – diluted |  | $ | 3.09 |  |  | $ | 2.94 |
Weighted average number of shares outstanding diluted (2) |  |  | 68,318,012 |  |  |  | 67,974,466 |

| (1) | Interest rate swaps are generally adjusted to fair value through other comprehensive income (loss). However, because certain of our interest rate swaps do not have a 0% LIBOR floor, while related hedged debt in these cases is subject to a 0% LIBOR floor, the portion of the change in fair value of these interest rate swaps attributable to this mismatch is recorded as noncash interest rate hedge ineffectiveness through interest expense.

| (2) | Assumes conversion of all outstanding limited partnership units in Essex Portfolio, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) into shares of the Company’s common stock and excludes all DownREIT limited partnership units for which the Operating Partnership has the ability and intention to redeem the units for cash and does not consider them to be common stock equivalents.

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 condensed 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 revenue 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):

|  | Three Months Ended March 31, |
|  | 2018 |  |  | 2017 |
Earnings from operations |  | $ | 110,547 |  |  | $ | 109,231 |
Adjustments: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Corporate-level property management expenses |  |  | 7,770 |  |  |  | 7,509 |
Depreciation and amortization |  |  | 119,105 |  |  |  | 115,503 |
Management and other fees from affiliates |  |  | (2,308 | ) |  |  | (2,236 | )
General and administrative |  |  | 14,813 |  |  |  | 10,601 |
Expensed acquisition and investment related costs |  |  | 57 |  |  |  | 556 |

(2) | The Company consolidates certain co-investments. The noncontrolling interest’s share of net operating income in these investments for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $1.2 million.
(3) | Interest rate swaps are generally adjusted to fair value through other comprehensive income (loss). However, because certain of our interest rate swaps do not have a 0% LIBOR floor, while related hedged debt in these cases is subject to a 0% LIBOR floor, the portion of the change in fair value of these interest rate swaps attributable to this mismatch, if any, is recorded as noncash interest rate hedge ineffectiveness through interest expense.
(4) | Assumes conversion of all outstanding limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership into shares of the Company’s common stock and excludes all DownREIT limited partnership units for which the Operating Partnership has the ability and intention to redeem the units for cash and does not consider them to be common stock equivalents.

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,” 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 our 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, our presentation of EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

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”) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| FFO, as defined by the 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 merger, integration and acquisition costs and items that are not routine or not related to the Company’s core business activities, which is referred to as “Core FFO”, to be useful financial 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 the ability to pay dividends. 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 an alternative 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 shareholders. FFO and Core FFO do not represent cash flows generated from operating, investing or financing activities as defined under U.S. 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 Indebtedness Divided by Adjusted EBITDAre |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
| This credit ratio is presented on page S-6 in the section titled “Selected Credit Ratios.” This credit ratio is calculated by dividing net indebtedness by Adjusted EBITDAre, as annualized based on the most recent quarter, and adjusted for estimated net operating income from properties acquired or disposed of during the quarter. 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. Net indebtedness is total debt, net less unamortized premiums, discounts, debt issuance costs, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, and marketable securities. The reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDAre is set forth in “Adjusted EBITDAre Reconciliation” on page S-17.1 The calculation of this credit ratio and a reconciliation of net indebtedness to total debt at pro rata share for co-investments, net is presented in the table below (Dollars in thousands):

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

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, it 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 8, 2018, filed by the Company as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Form 8-K, filed on March 8, 2018. 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 March 31, 2018, annualized, is calculated by dividing Unencumbered NOI, annualized for the three months ended March 31, 2018 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 Reconciliation” 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 (Dollars in thousands):
