ITEM 9. Regulation FD Disclosure
On April 30, 2003, Equity Residential issued a press release announcing its results of operations and financial condition for the three months ended and as of March 31, 2003. The press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The information in this Current Report is being furnished pursuant to Item 12. Results of Operations and Financial Condition, under Item 9 of Form 8-K as directed in Securities and Exchange Commission Release No. 34-47583.
The attached press release includes a presentation of Equity Residential's Net Operating Income (" NOI"). If NOI falls within the definition of "non-GAAP financial measure" set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, Equity Residential is required to include in this Current Report a statement disclosing the reasons why management believes that presentation of NOI provides useful information to investors regarding Equity Residential's results of operations. Equity Residential believes that NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of the operating performance of a real estate company because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of the Company's apartment properties.
