– 432,000 Square Feet of Leasing Activity –
– Completed $889 Million of Dispositions –
– Earned Top ESG Honors –
– Provides First Quarter and Full-Year 2024 Outlook –

LOS ANGELES--()--Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HPP) (the "Company," "Hudson Pacific," or "HPP"), a unique provider of end-to-end real estate solutions for tech and media tenants, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter 2023.

"We are proud of our team’s efforts and our positive results that overcame a multitude of industry challenges in 2023 including ongoing economic uncertainty. Among our accomplishments for the year, we leased 1.7 million square feet and completed over $1 billion of asset dispositions," stated Victor Coleman, Chairman and CEO. "As we look ahead, we have strengthened our balance sheet by extending maturities to late 2025, and our core focus remains 'leasing, leasing and more leasing' within our high-quality portfolio to capture the benefits of both evolving return-to-office mandates and the studio production ramp up post-strike. We are also focused on continuing to control costs, executing on opportunistic dispositions, progressing our New York studio development, and further fortifying our balance sheet. We are well-positioned to leverage our portfolio, expertise and relationships to the benefit of our shareholders as we seek to drive improved financial performance in the coming year."

Financial Results Compared to Fourth Quarter 2022

  • Total revenue of $223.4 million compared to $269.9 million, largely due to the sales of Skyway Landing, 604 Arizona and 3401 Exposition, previously communicated tenant move-outs at 1455 Market and 10900-10950 Washington, as well as a reduction in studio service and other revenue due to the related union strikes
  • Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $98.0 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $12.0 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, primarily due to the aforementioned revenue changes
  • FFO, excluding specified items, of $19.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, compared to $70.2 million, or $0.49 per diluted share. Specified items include deferred tax asset write-off expense of $6.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share and transaction-related expense of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to specified items consisting of transaction-related expense of $3.6 million, or $0.03 per diluted share
  • FFO of $12.8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $66.5 million, or $0.47 per diluted share
  • AFFO of $21.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, compared to $62.1 million, or $0.43 per diluted share
  • Same-store cash NOI of $116.1 million compared to $127.4 million, mostly attributable to a large vacate at 1455 Market and mid-size tenant move-outs in the San Francisco Peninsula and Silicon Valley, as well as a single tenant vacating six stages at Sunset Las Palmas due to the strike

Leasing

  • Executed 77 new and renewal leases totaling 431,980 square feet, including a 57,000-square-foot five-year renewal with GitHub at 275 Brannan
  • GAAP rents decreased 2.1% and cash rents decreased 9.8% from prior levels, mostly attributable to two mid-size tenant renewals in the San Francisco Bay Area
  • In-service office portfolio ended the quarter at 80.8% occupied and 81.9% leased, with the change primarily resulting from the sale of One Westside
  • On average over the trailing 12 months, the in-service studio portfolio was 80.4% leased and the related 35 stages were 84.7% leased, with the change attributable to aforementioned single tenant vacating space at Sunset Las Palmas

Dispositions

  • Sold Cloud10, a 5.3-acre land parcel in North San Jose, California, for $43.5 million before prorations and closing costs
  • Sold 100% of two tranches and 49% of a third tranche of debt associated with the Hollywood Media Portfolio, generating gross proceeds of $145.8 million, while retaining a 51% ownership in the third tranche with a notional value of $30.2 million

  • HPP's share of net debt to HPP's share of undepreciated book value was 36.5% with 86.1% of debt fixed or capped and no maturities until November 2025
  • Refinanced Bentall Centre owned in partnership with Blackstone with a $482.2 million mortgage loan (reflects the foreign currency exchange rate from CAD to USD as of December 31, 2023) maturing in July 2027 and bearing an interest rate of 230 basis points over CORRA
  • Applied net proceeds from the sale of One Westside and Westside Two to fully repay the construction loan secured by those properties, with remaining net proceeds, as well as those from the sales of Cloud10 and the Hollywood Media Portfolio loan, used to repay amounts outstanding on the unsecured revolving credit facility
  • Completed credit facility amendment to favorably adjust certain definitions and covenant calculations, for which aggregate lender commitments were reduced by $100.0 million to $900.0 million maturing in December 2026 (including extension options)

2024 Outlook

Hudson Pacific is providing its first quarter and full-year 2024 FFO outlook in the range of $0.15 to $0.19 and $1.00 to $1.10 per diluted share, respectively. There are no specified items in connection with this guidance.

This FFO outlook reflects management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels and the earnings impact of events referenced in this press release and in earlier announcements. It otherwise excludes any impact from new acquisitions, dispositions, debt financings, amendments or repayments, recapitalizations, capital markets activity or similar matters. It also excludes the impact of a disruption in studio operations in the event a strike leads to a halt in production. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from these estimates.

Below are some of the assumptions the Company used in providing this guidance:

Same-store for the full year 2024 is defined as the 41 office properties and three studio properties, as applicable, owned and included in the Company's stabilized portfolio as of January 1, 2023, and anticipated to still be owned and included in the stabilized portfolio through December 31, 2024.

Please see non-GAAP information below for definition of cash NOI.

(3)

Includes non-cash straight-line rent associated with the studio and office properties.

(4)

Includes non-cash compensation expense, which the Company estimates at $26,000 in 2024.

(5)

Includes amortization of deferred financing costs and loan discounts/premiums, which the Company estimates at $6,000 in 2024.

(6)

Diluted shares represent ownership in the Company through shares of common stock, OP Units and other convertible or exchangeable instruments. The weighted average fully diluted common stock/units outstanding for 2024 includes an estimate for the dilution impact of stock grants to the Company's executives under its long-term incentive programs. This estimate is based on the projected award potential of such programs as of the end of the most recently completed quarter, as calculated in accordance with the ASC 260, Earnings Per Share.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis, including the information under "FFO Guidance" above, where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount of various items that would impact net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share, which is the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure. This includes, for example, acquisition costs and other non-core items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

We calculate Funds from Operations ("FFO") in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus the HPP’s share of real estate-related depreciation and amortization, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets. The calculation of FFO includes the HPP’s share of amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets.

 

 

 

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure we believe is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of our activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs.

 

 

 

Implicit in historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, we believe that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of our performance relative to our competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities than the required GAAP presentations alone would provide. We use FFO per share to calculate annual cash bonuses for certain employees.

 

 

 

However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance because it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations.

HPP's share is a Non-GAAP financial measure calculated as the measure on a consolidated basis, in accordance with GAAP, plus our Operating Partnership’s share of the measure from our unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the Operating Partnership’s percentage ownership interest), minus our partners’ share of the measure from our consolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the partners’ percentage ownership interests). We believe that presenting HPP’s share of these measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and/or results of operations because we have several significant joint ventures, and in some cases, we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, the joint venture. In such instances, GAAP requires us to account for the joint venture entity using the equity method of accounting, which we do not consolidate for financial reporting purposes. In other cases, GAAP requires us to consolidate the venture even though our partner(s) own(s) a significant percentage interest.

Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") is a non-GAAP financial measure we believe is a useful supplemental measure of our performance. We compute AFFO by adding to FFO (excluding specified items) HPP's share of non-cash compensation expense and amortization of deferred financing costs, and subtracting recurring capital expenditures related to HPP's share of tenant improvements and leasing commissions (excluding pre-existing obligations on contributed or acquired properties funded with amounts received in settlement of prorations), and eliminating the net effect of HPP’s share of straight-line rents, amortization of lease buy-out costs, amortization of above-and below-market lease intangible assets and liabilities, amortization of above-and below-market ground lease intangible assets and liabilities and amortization of loan discounts/premiums. AFFO is not intended to represent cash flow for the period. We believe that AFFO provides useful information to the investment community about our financial position as compared to other REITs since AFFO is a widely reported measure used by other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating AFFO and, accordingly, our AFFO may not be comparable to other REITs.

We evaluate performance based upon property Net Operating Income ("NOI") from continuing operations. NOI is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities or cash flows as measured by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to income from continuing operations, as an indication of our performance, or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, or our ability to make distributions. All companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be a useful performance measure to investors and management because when compared across periods, NOI reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating our properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations. We calculate NOI as net income (loss) excluding corporate general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairments, gains/losses on sales of real estate, interest expense, transaction-related expenses and other non-operating items. We define NOI as operating revenues (rental revenues, other property-related revenue, tenant recoveries and other operating revenues), less property-level operating expenses (external management fees, if any, and property-level general and administrative expenses). NOI on a cash basis is NOI adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments required by GAAP. We believe that NOI on a cash basis is helpful to investors as an additional measure of operating performance because it eliminates straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments to revenue and expenses.
