EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the reports on Form 10-Q for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2026 of Essex Property Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Essex Portfolio, L.P., a California limited partnership of which Essex Property Trust, Inc. is the sole general partner.

Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean collectively Essex Property Trust, Inc. and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by Essex Property Trust, Inc., including Essex Portfolio, L.P., and references to the “Operating Partnership” or “EPLP” mean Essex Portfolio, L.P. and those entities/subsidiaries owned or controlled by Essex Portfolio, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Essex” mean Essex Property Trust, Inc., not including any of its subsidiaries.

Essex operates as a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), and is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2026, Essex owned approximately 96.7% of the ownership interest in the Operating Partnership with the remaining 3.3% interest owned by limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Essex has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.

The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT (“UPREIT”) and Essex contributes all net proceeds from its various equity offerings to the Operating Partnership. In return for those contributions, Essex receives a number of Operating Partnership limited partnership units (“OP Units,” and the holders of such OP Units, “Unitholders”) equal to the number of shares of common stock it has issued in the equity offerings. Contributions of properties to the Operating Partnership can be structured as tax-deferred transactions through the issuance of OP Units, which is one of the reasons why the Company is structured in the manner outlined above. Based on the terms of the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement, OP Units can be exchanged into Essex common stock on a one-for-one basis. The Company maintains a one-for-one relationship between the OP Units issued to Essex and shares of common stock.

The Company believes that combining the reports on Form 10-Q of Essex and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

•enhances investors’ understanding of Essex and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
•eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both Essex and the Operating Partnership; and
•creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

Management operates Essex and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of Essex consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership.

All of the Company’s property ownership, development, and related business operations are conducted through the Operating Partnership and Essex has no material assets, other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Essex’s primary function is acting as the general partner of the Operating Partnership. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, Essex consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of Essex and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements. Essex also issues equity from time to time and guarantees certain debt of the Operating Partnership, as disclosed in this report. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of the assets of the Company, including the Company’s ownership interests in its co-investments. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for the net proceeds from equity offerings by the Company, which are contributed to the capital of the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units (on a one-for-one share of common stock per OP Unit basis), the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources of capital include the Operating Partnership’s working capital, net cash provided by operating activities, borrowings under its revolving credit facilities, the issuance of secured and unsecured debt and equity securities and proceeds received from disposition of certain properties and co-investments.

iii

The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between Essex and the Operating Partnership in the context of how Essex and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. Stockholders’ equity, partners’ capital and noncontrolling interest are the main areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of Essex and those of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are accounted for as partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements and as noncontrolling interest in Essex’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements includes the interest of unaffiliated partners in various consolidated partnerships and co-investment partners. The noncontrolling interest in Essex’s condensed consolidated financial statements includes (i) the same noncontrolling interest as presented in the Operating Partnership’s condensed consolidated financial statements and (ii) OP Unitholders. The differences between stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from differences in the equity issued at Essex and Operating Partnership levels.

To help investors understand the significant differences between Essex and the Operating Partnership, this report on Form 10-Q provides separate condensed consolidated financial statements for Essex and the Operating Partnership; a single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes separate discussions of stockholders’ equity or partners’ capital, and earnings per share/unit, as applicable; and a combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

This report on Form 10-Q also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for each of Essex and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that Essex and the Operating Partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

In order to highlight the differences between Essex and the Operating Partnership, the separate sections in this report on Form 10-Q for Essex and the Operating Partnership specifically refer to Essex and the Operating Partnership. In the sections that combine disclosure of Essex and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company. Although the Operating Partnership is generally the entity that directly or indirectly enters into contracts and co-investments and holds assets and debt, reference to the Company is appropriate because the Company is one business and the Company operates that business through the Operating Partnership. The separate discussions of Essex and the Operating Partnership in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

The information furnished in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets, statements of income and comprehensive income, equity, capital, and cash flows of the Company and the Operating Partnership reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods and are normal and recurring in nature, except as otherwise noted.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the notes to such unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations herein. Additionally, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

(Unaudited)

(1) Organization and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements present the accounts of Essex Property Trust, Inc. (“Essex” or the “Company”), which include the accounts of the Company and Essex Portfolio, L.P. and its subsidiaries (the “Operating Partnership,” which holds the operating assets of the Company), prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented have been included and are normal and recurring in nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements apply to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.

All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. Essex is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, with a 96.7% and 96.6% general partnership interest as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Total Operating Partnership limited partnership units (“OP Units,” and the holders of such OP Units, “Unitholders”) outstanding were 2,183,943 and 2,250,339 as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, and the redemption value of the units, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock totaled approximately $636.8 million and $588.9 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The Company has reserved shares of common stock for such conversions.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company owned or had ownership interests in 258 operating apartment home communities, comprising 62,881 apartment homes, excluding the Company’s ownership interests in preferred equity co-investments, loan investments, two operating commercial buildings, and a development pipeline comprised of one consolidated project and various predevelopment projects (collectively, the “Portfolio”). The operating apartment home communities are located in Southern California (primarily Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and Ventura counties), Northern California (the San Francisco Bay Area) and the Seattle metropolitan areas.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2025-06 “Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software.” ASU 2025-06 eliminates project stages and requires capitalizing software costs to begin when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the software project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. When evaluating if a project is probable to be completed, significant development uncertainty must be assessed. In addition, disclosures for property, plant and equipment will be required for all capitalized software costs. ASU 2025-06 will be effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2028 and early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, the new standard may be applied prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2025-06 on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03 “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses”, and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01 “Income Statement —Reporting Comprehensive Income —Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date.” ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated information for specified categories of expenses to be presented in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, will be effective for the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027 and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The new standards may be applied either prospectively, to financial statements issued after the effective date, or retrospectively, to all prior periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these standards on its consolidated results of operations and financial position.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in the Current Year

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-05, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets.” ASU 2025-05 provides for a practical expedient that allows an entity to assume that conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the remaining life of the asset when estimating expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue transactions from contracts with customers. ASU 2025-05 is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2026, with early adoption permitted, and is required to be applied prospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 as of January 1, 2026. This adoption did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial position.

Revenues and Gains on Sale of Real Estate and Land

Revenues from tenants renting or leasing apartment homes are recorded when due from tenants and are recognized monthly as they are earned, which generally approximates a straight-line basis, else, adjustments are made to conform to a straight-line basis. Apartment homes are rented under short-term leases (generally, lease terms of 9 to 12 months). Revenues from tenants leasing commercial space are recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease. See Note 3, Revenues, for additional information regarding such revenues.

The Company also generates other property-related revenue associated with the leasing of apartment homes, including storage income, pet rent, and other miscellaneous revenue. Similar to rental income, such revenues are recorded when due from tenants and recognized monthly as they are earned.

Apart from rental and other property-related revenue, revenues from contracts with customers are recognized as control of the promised services is passed to the customer. For customer contracts related to management and other fees from affiliates (which includes asset management and property management), the transaction price and amount of revenue to be recognized are determined each quarter based on the management fee calculated and earned for that month or quarter. The contract will contain a description of the service and the fee percentage for management services. Payments from such services are one month or one quarter in arrears of the service performed.

The Company recognizes any gains on sales of real estate and land when it transfers control of a property and when it is probable that the Company will collect substantially all of the related consideration.

Marketable Securities

Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with accounting standards for consolidation of variable interest entities (“VIEs”), the Company consolidated the Operating Partnership, 18 DownREIT entities (comprising ten communities), and four co-investments as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company consolidated these entities because it was the primary beneficiary. Essex has no assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The consolidated total assets and liabilities related to the above consolidated co-investments and DownREIT entities, net of intercompany eliminations, were $988.1 million and $242.4 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2026 and $970.6 million and $242.5 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2025.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Management estimates that the carrying amounts of the outstanding balances under its lines of credit, commercial paper and notes and other receivables approximate fair value as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, because interest rates, yields, and other terms for these instruments are consistent with interest rates, yields, and other terms currently available for similar instruments. Management has estimated that the fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt with a carrying value of $5.5 billion and $5.9 billion as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, was approximately $5.3 billion and $5.8 billion, respectively. Management has estimated that the fair value of the Company’s $1.2 billion and $854.4 million of variable rate debt at June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively, was approximately $1.2 billion and $853.2 million, respectively, based on the terms of existing mortgage notes payable, unsecured debt, and lines of credit compared to those available in the marketplace. Management estimates that the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, construction payables, other liabilities and dividends payable approximate fair value as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments. Marketable securities are carried at fair value as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Capitalization of Costs

The Company’s capitalized costs related to development and redevelopment projects were comprised primarily of interest and employee compensation and totaled $6.8 million and $6.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $13.5 million and $12.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Company amortizes the capitalized costs over the useful life of the development. 

Co-investments

The Company owns investments in joint ventures in which it has significant influence, but its ownership interest does not meet the criteria for consolidation in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Therefore, the Company accounts for co-investments using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method of accounting, the investment is carried at the cost of assets contributed, plus the Company’s equity in earnings, less distributions received and the Company’s share of losses. The significant accounting policies of the Company’s co-investment entities are consistent with those of the Company in all material respects.

Upon the acquisition of a controlling interest of a co-investment, the co-investment entity is consolidated and a gain or loss is recognized upon the remeasurement of the co-investment in the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income equal to the amount by which the fair value of the co-investment interest, using Level 2 inputs, exceeds or is in deficit of the Company’s carrying value of the co-investment. A majority of the co-investments, excluding most preferred equity investments, compensate the Company for its asset management services and some of these investments may provide promote income if certain financial return benchmarks are achieved. Management fees are recognized when earned, and promote fees are recognized when the earnings events have occurred and the amount is determinable and collectible. Any promote fees are reflected in equity income from co-investments.

The Company evaluates its co-investments for impairment and records a loss if the carrying value is greater than the fair value of the investment and the impairment is other-than-temporary.

Accounting Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing and assessing the carrying values of its Portfolio, its investments in and advances to joint ventures and affiliates, its notes receivable, and its qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”). The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions, and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may vary from those estimates and those estimates could be different under different assumptions or conditions.

(8) Segment Information

The Company’s segment disclosures present the measure used by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) for purposes of assessing each segment’s performance. The Company’s CODM is a group comprised of its Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Administrative Officer, and Chief Investment Officer, who use net operating income (“NOI”) to assess the performance of the business for the Company’s reportable operating segments. NOI represents total property revenues less direct property operating expenses.

The CODM evaluates the Company’s operating performance geographically. The Company defines its reportable operating segments as the three geographical regions in which its communities are located: Southern California, Northern California and Seattle Metro.

Excluded from segment revenues and NOI are management and other fees from affiliates and interest and other income. Other real estate assets revenues, property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, and NOI included in the following schedule consist of revenues generated from retail space, commercial properties, held for sale properties, disposition properties and straight-line adjustments for concessions. Executive management does not evaluate such operating performance geographically. Other non-segment assets include items such as real estate under development, co-investments, real estate held for sale, cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, notes and other receivables, and prepaid expenses and other assets.

(10) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had six interest rate swap contracts and two forward starting interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $800.0 million. The Company has $600.0 million in notional amount that effectively fixed the interest rate on the Company’s $600.0 million unsecured term loan at 4.1%. In December 2025, the Company had entered into a $100.0 million forward starting interest rate swap which became effective in the second quarter of 2026. In April 2026, the Company entered into two forward starting interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $200.0 million which will be effective at a future date. These derivatives qualify for hedge accounting.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the aggregate carrying value of the interest rate swap contracts was an asset of $6.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, within prepaid expenses and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the aggregate carrying value of the forward starting interest rate swap contracts was $2.5 million and $0.7 million, respectively, within prepaid expenses and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(11) Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is subject to various lawsuits in the normal course of its business operations. Such lawsuits have not had a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. While no assurances can be given, the Company does not believe there is any pending or threatened litigation against the Company that, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

A number of purported class actions were filed against RealPage, Inc. (“RealPage”), a seller of revenue management software, and various lessors of multifamily housing which utilize this software, including the Company. The complaints allege collusion among defendants to artificially increase rents of multifamily residential real estate above competitive levels. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reached a settlement to fully resolve its case related to RealPage, for a settlement amount totaling $36.5 million. The settlement remains subject to court approval and, if the settlement is not approved, we intend to continue to vigorously defend ourselves. In addition to the RealPage matter, the Company fully resolved another litigation matter for a settlement amount totaling $19.3 million. That settlement is also subject to court approval and, if the settlement is not approved, we intend to continue to vigorously defend ourselves. In prior reporting periods no accrual was recorded because the loss was not considered both probable and reasonably estimable. Based on developments during the

current quarter, management concluded that recognition of a liability was required. The accrual for the loss contingencies related to these matters is presented in the accounts payable and accrued liabilities balance in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets and in general and administrative expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income. Legal costs associated with the defense of these claims are recorded when incurred. The Company is subject to various other legal and/or regulatory proceedings arising in the normal course of its business operations. The Company believes that, with respect to such matters that it is currently a party to, the ultimate disposition of any such matter will not result in a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. To the extent that such a matter arises or is identified in the future and the Company believes it will have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company will disclose the estimated range of possible outcomes associated with it, and, if an outcome is probable, accrue an appropriate liability for that matter. The Company will consider whether any such matter results in an impairment of value on the affected property and, if so, impairment will be recognized.

Item 2: Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes thereto included elsewhere herein and with the Company’s 2025 annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Capitalized terms not defined in this section have the meaning ascribed to them elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The Company makes statements in this section that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For a complete discussion of forward-looking statements, see the section in this Form 10-Q entitled “Forward-Looking Statements.”

Essex is a self-administered and self-managed REIT that acquires, develops, redevelops, and manages apartment home communities in selected residential areas located on the West Coast of the United States. Essex owns all of its interests in its real estate investments, directly or indirectly through the Operating Partnership. Essex is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of June 30, 2026, had an approximately 96.7% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership.

The Company’s investment strategy has two components: constant monitoring of existing markets, and evaluation of new markets to identify areas with the characteristics that underlie rental growth. The Company’s strong financial condition supports its investment strategy by enhancing its ability to quickly shift acquisition, development, redevelopment, and disposition activities to markets that will optimize the performance of the Company’s Portfolio.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company owned or had ownership interests in 258 operating apartment communities, comprising 62,881 apartment homes, excluding the Company’s ownership in preferred equity co-investments, loan investments, two operating commercial buildings, and a development pipeline comprised of one consolidated project and various predevelopment projects.

The Company’s apartment home communities are predominantly located in the following major regions:

Southern California (primarily Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, and Ventura counties)
Northern California (the San Francisco Bay Area)
Seattle Metro (the Seattle metropolitan area)

The Company’s consolidated operating communities were as follows:

Co-investments, including Wesco I, Wesco III, Wesco IV, Wesco V, Wesco VI, BEX IV and other co-investments, developments under construction, and preferred equity interest co-investment communities are not included in the table presented above for both periods.

Market Considerations

Domestic and international policy actions, including tariff and trade policy, as well as continuing geopolitical tensions, war and regional conflicts have the potential to trigger market uncertainty. The long-term impact of these developments on our Company will largely depend on the impact on broader trends in job growth, inflation, the economy, and reactions by consumers, companies, governmental entities and capital market participants.

The foregoing macroeconomic conditions have not negatively impacted the Company’s ability to access traditional funding sources which have been historically available to it. The Company is not at material risk of failing to meet the covenants in its credit agreements and is able to timely service its debt and other obligations.

The average financial occupancy for the Company’s 2026 Same-Property portfolio (stabilized properties consolidated by the Company for the quarters ended June 30, 2026 and 2025) was 96.3% and 96.2% for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Financial occupancy is defined as the percentage resulting from dividing actual rental income by total scheduled rental income. Actual rental income represents contractual rental income pursuant to leases without considering delinquency and concessions. Total scheduled rental income represents the value of all apartment homes, with occupied apartment homes valued at contractual rental rates pursuant to leases and vacant apartment homes valued at estimated market rents. The Company believes that financial occupancy is a meaningful measure of occupancy because it considers the value of each vacant apartment home at its estimated market rate.

Market rates are determined using the recently signed effective rates on new leases at the property and are used as the starting point in the determination of the market rates of vacant apartment homes. The Company may increase or decrease these rates based on a variety of factors, including overall supply and demand for housing, concentration of new apartment deliveries within the same submarket which can cause periodic disruption due to greater rental concessions to increase leasing velocity, and rental affordability. Financial occupancy may not completely reflect short-term trends in physical occupancy and financial occupancy rates, and the Company’s calculation of financial occupancy may not be comparable to financial occupancy disclosed by other REITs.

The Company does not take into account delinquency and concessions to calculate actual rent for occupied apartment homes and market rents for vacant apartment homes. The calculation of financial occupancy compares contractual rates for occupied apartment homes to estimated market rents for unoccupied apartment homes, and thus the calculation compares the gross value of all apartment homes excluding delinquency and concessions. For apartment communities that are development properties in lease-up without stabilized occupancy figures, the Company believes the physical occupancy rate is the appropriate performance metric. While an apartment community is in the lease-up phase, the Company’s primary motivation is to stabilize the property, which may entail the use of rent concessions and other incentives, and thus financial occupancy, which is based on contractual income, is not considered the best metric to quantify occupancy.

The regional breakdown of the Company’s 2026 Same-Property portfolio for financial occupancy for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

2026 Same-Property Revenues increased by $11.7 million or 2.7% to $446.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 from $434.4 million for the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase of 2.2% in average rental rates from $2,683 per apartment home for the second quarter of 2025 to $2,743 per apartment home for the second quarter of 2026.

2026 Non-Same Property Revenues increased by $7.5 million or 22.4% to $40.7 million in the second quarter of 2026 from $33.2 million in the second quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of Revere Campbell, The Parc at Pruneyard, ViO, 1250 Lakeside, and the consolidation of Artizan and Skylux on Wilshire (fka TENTEN Downtown) in 2025. The increases were partially offset by the sale of The Grand, and Fourth & U in 2025.

Property operating expenses, excluding real estate taxes increased by $3.2 million or 3.7% to $89.6 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $86.4 million for the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to acquisitions in 2025 identified in the Non-Same Property Revenues section above and the increase of Same-Property operating expenses discussed below, partially offset by dispositions in 2025. Same-Property operating expenses, excluding real estate taxes, increased by $2.1 million or 2.6% to $83.2 million in the second quarter of 2026 compared to $81.1 million in the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to an increase of $2.2 million in utilities expenses resulting from increases in trash removal, gas, water and sewer costs.

Real estate taxes increased by $2.4 million or 4.9% to $51.4 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $49.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the acquisitions in 2025 identified in the Non-Same Property Revenues section above and increases in assessed values. Same-Property real estate taxes increased by $1.4 million or 3.3% to $46.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $44.6 million for the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to an increase in assessed values.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.6 million or 1.7% to $154.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $151.5 million for the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to acquisitions in 2025 identified in the Non-Same Property Revenues section above, partially offset by dispositions in 2025.

General and administrative expense increased by $55.9 million or 325.0% to $73.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $17.2 million for the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to legal settlement costs of $36.5 million to fully resolve its case related to RealPage and $19.3 million related to another litigation matter.

Gain on sale of real estate and land of $2.0 million for the second quarter of 2026 was due to the recognition of contingent consideration related to a previous sale of a land parcel in 2023. Gain on sale of real estate and land of $126.2 million for the second quarter of 2025 was attributable to the disposition of Essex Skyline.

Interest expense increased by $1.5 million or 2.3% to $66.8 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $65.3 million for the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to the issuance in December 2025 of $350.0 million senior unsecured notes due February 2036 and borrowing on the $300.0 million unsecured term loan in 2025 which resulted in an increase in interest expense of $7.5 million for the second quarter of 2026. These increases to interest expense were partially offset by various debt that was paid off, matured, or regular principal amortization during and after the second quarter of 2025, but primarily due to the payoff of $450.0 million of senior unsecured notes due April 2026, which resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $5.2 million for the second quarter of 2026. Additionally, there was an increase in capitalized interest of $0.8 million in the second quarter of 2026, due to an increase in development activity as compared to the same period in 2025.

Interest and other income increased by $2.3 million or 33.8% to $9.1 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $6.8 million for the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to a $3.2 million increase in net realized and unrealized gains on marketable securities from increases in the fair value of marketable securities partially offset by a decrease of $1.1 million in interest income due to repayment of notes receivable, and fewer short term investments during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

Equity income from co-investments increased by $4.7 million or 52.2% to $13.7 million for the second quarter of 2026 compared to $9.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, primarily due to a $9.2 million gain recognized on the sale of the co-investment community, Meridian at Midtown, partially offset by a decrease of $6.1 million in income from preferred equity investments due to a lower average outstanding investment balance during the second quarter of 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

2026 Non-Same Property Revenues increased by $15.2 million or 23.3% to $80.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 from $65.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due to the acquisitions of The Plaza, One Hundred Grand, ROEN Menlo Park, Revere Campbell, The Parc at Pruneyard, ViO, 1250 Lakeside, and the consolidation of Artizan and Skylux on Wilshire (fka TENTEN Downtown) in 2025. The increases were partially offset by the dispositions of Highridge, Essex Skyline, The Grand, and Fourth & U in 2025.

Property operating expenses, excluding real estate taxes increased by $6.3 million or 3.7% to $178.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $172.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to acquisitions in 2025 identified in the Non-Same Property Revenues section above and the increase of Same-Property operating expenses discussed below, partially offset by dispositions in 2025. Same-Property operating expenses, excluding real estate taxes, increased by $3.6 million or 2.2% to $165.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $161.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase of $4.3 million in utilities expenses resulting from increases in trash removal, gas, water and sewer costs.

Real estate taxes increased by $1.9 million or 1.9% to $103.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $101.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to the acquisitions in 2025 identified in the Non-Same Property Revenues section above and increases in assessed values. Same-Property real estate taxes increased by $0.2 million or 0.2% to $93.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $93.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase in assessed values.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $6.2 million or 2.0% to $309.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $302.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to acquisitions in 2025 identified in the Non-Same Property Revenues section above, partially offset by dispositions in 2025.

General and administrative expense increased by $59.8 million or 179.0% to $93.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $33.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to legal settlement costs of $36.5 million to fully resolve its case related to RealPage and $19.3 million related to another litigation matter.

Gain on sale of real estate and land of $2.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 was due to the recognition of contingent consideration related to a previous sale of a land parcel in 2023. Gain on sale of real estate and land of $237.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2025 was attributable to the dispositions of Highridge and Essex Skyline in 2025.

Interest expense increased by $4.4 million or 3.4% to $132.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $128.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to borrowing on the $300.0 million unsecured term loan during 2025, the issuance in February 2025 of $400 million senior unsecured notes due April 2035, and the issuance in December 2025 of $350.0 million senior unsecured notes due February 2036, which resulted in an increase in interest expense of $18.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. These increases to interest expense were partially offset by various debt that was paid off, matured, or due to regular principal amortization during and after the six months ended June 30, 2025, but primarily due to the payoff of the $500.0 million of senior unsecured notes due April 2025 and the $450.0 million of senior unsecured notes due April 2026, which resulted in a decrease in interest expense of $12.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. Additionally, there was a $1.5 million increase in capitalized interest in the six months ended June 30, 2026, due to an increase in development activity as compared to the same period in 2025.

Interest and other income decreased by $1.0 million or 9.0% to $10.1 million in income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $11.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a decrease of $2.4 million due to repayment of notes receivable, and fewer short term investments during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025. The decrease was partially offset by a $1.6 million increase in the fair value of marketable securities.

Equity income from co-investments increased by $15.1 million or 68.0% to $37.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to $22.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to an increase of $14.6 million in unrealized and realized gains from unconsolidated technology co-investments as a result of change in fair value of investments held by the co-investments. The increase was also attributable to a $9.2 million gain recognized on the sale of the co-investment community, Meridian at Midtown. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of $12.3 million in income from preferred equity investments due to a lower average outstanding investment balance during the six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same period in 2025.

Loss on early retirement of debt of $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was due to the payoff of debt in conjunction with the disposition of Highridge in 2025 with no corresponding activity during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Gain on remeasurement of co-investment of $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 resulted from the Company’s consolidation of its investment in Artizan in 2025 with no corresponding activity during the six months ended June 30, 2026.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $58.3 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $92.2 million in marketable securities, all of which were equity securities or available for sale debt securities. The Company believes that cash flows generated by its operations, existing cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities balances and availability under existing lines of credit are sufficient to meet all of its anticipated cash needs during the next twelve months. Additionally, the capital markets continue to be available and the Company is able to generate cash from the disposition of real estate assets to finance additional cash flow needs, including continued development and select acquisitions. In the event that economic disruptions occur, the Company may further utilize other resources such as its cash reserves, lines of credit, commercial paper or decreased investment in redevelopment activities to supplement operating cash flows. The timing, source and amounts of cash flows provided by or used in financing activities and investing activities are sensitive to changes in interest rates and other fluctuations in the capital markets environment, which can affect the Company’s plans for acquisitions, dispositions, development and redevelopment activities.

As of June 30, 2026, Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s credit agencies rated Essex Property Trust, Inc. and Essex Portfolio, L.P. Baa1/Stable, and BBB+/Stable, respectively.
42

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had two unsecured lines of credit aggregating $1.58 billion, including a $1.5 billion unsecured line of credit and a $75.0 million working capital unsecured line of credit. As of June 30, 2026, there was no amount outstanding on the Company’s $1.5 billion unsecured line of credit. The underlying interest rate is based on a tiered rate structure tied to the Company’s long-term unsecured credit ratings and was at Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 0.775% as of June 30, 2026. This facility is scheduled to mature in January 2030, with two six-month extensions, exercisable at the Company’s option. The Company may elect to increase the facility by up to an additional $1.0 billion, to an aggregate size of $2.5 billion, if the lenders permit. As of June 30, 2026, there was no amount outstanding on the Company’s $75.0 million working capital unsecured line of credit. The underlying interest rate on the $75.0 million line is based on a tiered rate structure tied to the Company’s long-term unsecured credit ratings and was at SOFR plus 0.775% as of June 30, 2026. This facility is scheduled to mature July 2028.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company had an unsecured commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”) to issue unsecured commercial paper notes with varying maturities up to 397 days from the date of issue (the “Notes”). As of June 30, 2026, there was $345.0 million outstanding under the Commercial Paper Program. Amounts available under the Commercial Paper Program may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed from time to time, with the maximum aggregate face or principal amount outstanding at any one time not exceeding $750.0 million. The Company’s $1.5 billion unsecured line of credit facility serves as a liquidity backstop and any issuances under the Commercial Paper Program reduce the available borrowing capacity. The Notes rank equally in right of payment with all other senior unsecured senior obligations of the Operating Partnership and are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The Company has used and expects to continue to use the proceeds from the Notes for general corporate purposes and working capital purposes.

In August 2024, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $900.0 million (the “2024 ATM Program”). In connection with the 2024 ATM Program, the Company may also enter into related forward sale agreements whereby, at the Company’s discretion, it may sell shares of its common stock under the 2024 ATM Program under forward sale agreements. The use of a forward sale agreement would allow the Company to lock in a share price on the sale of shares of its common stock at the time the agreement is executed, but defer receipt of the proceeds from the sale of shares until a later date. Furthermore, it would permit the Company, at its election, to settle the agreements by issuing common stock in exchange for net proceeds at the then-applicable forward sale price specified by the agreement or, alternatively, to settle the agreements in whole or in part through the delivery or receipt of common stock or cash. Issuances of shares under these forward sale agreements are classified as equity transactions. Accordingly, no amounts relating to the forward sale agreements are recorded in the condensed consolidated financial statements until settlement occurs. Prior to any settlements, the only impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements is the inclusion of incremental shares, if any, within the calculation of diluted earnings per share and diluted earnings per unit using the treasury stock method. The actual forward price per share to be received by the Company upon settlement will be determined on the applicable settlement date based on adjustments made to the initial forward price to reflect the then-current overnight federal funds rate and the amount of dividends paid to holders of the Company’s common stock over the term of the forward sale agreement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company did not issue any shares of its common stock through the 2024 ATM Program.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company entered into forward sale agreements with certain financial institutions acting as forward purchasers under the 2024 ATM program with respect to 52,600 shares of common stock at an initial gross weighted average forward price of $314.06 per share, which is to be settled by September 2026.

As of June 30, 2026, $900.0 million of shares of common stock remained available to be sold under the 2024 ATM Program, pending the settlement of outstanding forward sale agreements.

In May 2026, the Company announced that its Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase plan, without an expiration date, to allow the Company to acquire shares of common stock up to an aggregate value of $500.0 million. The plan supersedes the Company’s previous common stock repurchase plan announced in September 2022. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased and retired 254,001 shares totaling $61.9 million, including commissions, at an average price per share of $243.76 under the previous plan. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $500.0 million of purchase authority remaining under the current stock repurchase plan.

Essex pays quarterly dividends from cash available for distribution. Until it is distributed, cash available for distribution is invested by the Company primarily in investment grade securities held available for sale or is used by the Company to reduce balances outstanding under its lines of credit or commercial paper.

Development Pipeline

The Company defines development projects as new communities that are being constructed, or are newly constructed and are in a phase of lease-up and have not yet reached stabilized operations. The Company defines predevelopment projects as proposed communities in negotiation or in the entitlement process with an expected high likelihood of becoming entitled development projects. The Company may also acquire land for future development purposes.

As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s development pipeline was comprised of one consolidated development project of 543 apartment homes and various predevelopment projects, with total incurred costs of $184.1 million, and estimated remaining project costs of approximately $160.5 million, for total estimated project costs of $344.6 million.

The Company expects to fund the development and predevelopment communities by using a combination of some or all of the following sources: its working capital, amounts available on its lines of credit, commercial paper, construction loans, net proceeds from public and private equity and debt issuances, and proceeds from the disposition of assets, if any.

Derivative Activity

The Company uses interest rate swaps, interest rate caps, and total return swap contracts to manage certain interest rate risks. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps and total return swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.

Alternative Capital Sources

The Company utilizes co-investments as an alternative source of capital for acquisitions of both operating and development communities. The Company had an interest in 7,265 apartment homes in operating communities with joint ventures and technology co-investments for a total book value of $311.8 million as of June 30, 2026.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The Company has various unconsolidated interests in certain joint ventures. The Company does not believe that these unconsolidated investments have a materially different impact on its liquidity, cash flows, capital resources, credit or market risk than its consolidated operations. See Note 4, Co-investments, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for carrying values and combined summarized financial information of these unconsolidated investments.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, requires the Company to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The Company defines critical accounting estimates as those that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are reasonably likely to have a material impact on the financial condition or results of operations of the Company. The Company’s critical accounting estimates relate principally to the following key areas: (i) accounting for the acquisition of investments in real estate; and (ii) evaluation of events and changes in circumstances indicating that the carrying value of any of the Company’s rental properties may not be recoverable.

The Company’s critical accounting policies and estimates have not changed materially from the information reported in Note 2, Summary of Critical and Significant Accounting Policies, in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders

Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Stockholders and Unitholders (“FFO”) is a financial measure that is commonly used in the REIT industry. The Company presents FFO and FFO excluding non-core items (referred to as “Core FFO”) as supplemental operating performance measures. FFO and Core FFO are not used by the Company as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net income computed under U.S. GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under U.S. GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s ability to fund its cash needs.

FFO and Core FFO are not meant to represent a comprehensive system of financial reporting and do not present, nor do they intend to present, a complete picture of the Company’s financial condition and operating performance. The Company believes that net income computed under U.S. GAAP is the primary measure of performance and that FFO and Core FFO are only meaningful when they are used in conjunction with net income. 

45
The Company considers FFO and Core FFO to be useful financial performance measurements of an equity REIT because, together with net income and cash flows, FFO and Core FFO provide investors with additional bases to evaluate operating performance and ability of a REIT to incur and service debt and to fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures and to pay dividends. By excluding gains or losses related to sales of depreciated operating properties and land, excluding real estate depreciation (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates) and excluding impairment write-downs from operating real estate and unconsolidated co-investments driven by a measurable decrease in the fair value of real estate held by the co-investment, FFO can help investors compare the operating performance of a real estate company between periods or as compared to different companies. By further adjusting for items that are not considered part of the Company’s core business operations, Core FFO allows investors to compare the core operating performance of the Company 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. The Company believes that its condensed consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, provide the most meaningful picture of its financial condition and its operating performance.

In calculating FFO, the Company follows the definition for this measure published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”), which is the leading REIT industry association. The Company believes that, under the Nareit FFO definition, the two most significant adjustments made to net income are (i) the exclusion of historical cost depreciation and (ii) the exclusion of gains and losses from the sale of previously depreciated properties. The Company agrees that these two Nareit adjustments are useful to investors for the following reasons:

(a)Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP assumes, through depreciation charges, that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Nareit stated in its White Paper on Funds from Operations “since real estate asset values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves.” Consequently, Nareit’s definition of FFO reflects the fact that real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time and depreciation charges required by U.S. GAAP do not reflect the underlying economic realities.

(b)REITs were created as a legal form of organization in order to encourage public ownership of real estate as an asset class through investment in firms that were in the business of long-term ownership and management of real estate. The exclusion, in Nareit’s definition of FFO, of gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT’s activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods.

Management believes that it 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 disclosure of FFO may not be comparable to the Company’s calculation.

Net Operating Income

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 condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive 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 revenues 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 ($ in thousands):

Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks

Interest Rate Hedging Activities

The Company’s objective in using derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements or other identified risks. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its cash flow hedging strategy. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had six interest rate swap contracts and two forward starting interest rate swap contracts to mitigate the risk of changes in the interest-related cash outflows on the Company’s $600.0 million unsecured term loan. The Company’s interest rate swaps were designated as a cash flow hedge as of June 30, 2026. The following table summarizes the notional amount, carrying value, and estimated fair value of the Company’s cash flow hedge derivative instruments used to hedge interest rates as of June 30, 2026. The notional amount represents the aggregate amount of a particular security that is currently hedged at one time, but does not represent exposure to credit, interest rates or market risks. The table also includes a sensitivity analysis to demonstrate the impact on the Company’s derivative instruments from an increase or decrease in 10-year Treasury bill interest rates by 50 basis points, as of June 30, 2026 ($ in thousands):

Total cash flow hedges$800,000 2026-2030$9,173 $18,343 $(120)

Additionally, the Company has entered into total return swap contracts, with an aggregate notional amount of $258.2 million that effectively convert $258.2 million of fixed mortgage notes payable to a floating interest rate based on the Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association Municipal Swap Index plus a spread and had a carrying value of zero as of June 30, 2026. The Company is exposed to insignificant interest rate risk on these total return swaps as the related mortgages are callable, at par, by the Company, co-terminus with the termination of any related swap. These derivatives do not qualify for hedge accounting.

Interest Rate Sensitive Liabilities

The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its lines of credit, commercial paper, and long-term debt which are used to maintain liquidity, fund capital expenditures, and expand the Company’s Portfolio and operations. The Company’s interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. To achieve its objectives, the Company borrows primarily at fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, caps and treasury locks in order to mitigate its interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. The Company does not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.

48
The Company’s interest rate risk is monitored using a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal amounts and weighted average interest rates by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows ($ in thousands):

The table incorporates only those exposures that exist as of June 30, 2026. It does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. As a result, the Company’s ultimate realized gain or loss, with respect to interest rate fluctuations and hedging strategies would depend on the exposures that arise prior to settlement.

Item 4: Controls and Procedures

Essex Property Trust, Inc.

As of June 30, 2026, Essex carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including Essex’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Essex’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based upon that evaluation, Essex’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2026, Essex’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by Essex in the reports that Essex files or submits under the Exchange Act was recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such disclosure controls and procedures were also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that Essex files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to Essex’s management, including Essex’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
