EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2017 of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “our Company” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “our operating partnership” or “the operating partnership” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the sole general partner of our operating partnership. As of September 30, 2017, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. owned approximately 99.6% of the outstanding common units of partnership interest (including unvested restricted units) in our operating partnership, or common units. The remaining approximately 0.4% of outstanding common units at September 30, 2017 were owned by certain of our executive officers and directors, certain of their affiliates and other outside investors. As of December 31, 2016, certain affiliates of Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) and Farallon Capital Management, LLC (“the Farallon Funds”) held an ownership interest in the Company and the operating partnership. Following a common stock offering and a common unit repurchase on January 10, 2017, Blackstone and the Farallon Funds informed us that they no longer owned common stock or common units in the Company or the operating partnership. As the sole general partner of our operating partnership, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for our operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control.
We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and the operating partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:
•
enhancing investors’ understanding of our Company and our operating partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

•
eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both our Company and our operating partnership; and

•
creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

There are a few differences between our Company and our operating partnership, which are reflected in the disclosures in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between our Company and our operating partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is a REIT, the only material assets of which are the units of partnership interest in our operating partnership. As a result, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of our operating partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of our operating partnership. Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. itself does not issue any indebtedness but guarantees some of the debt of our operating partnership. Our operating partnership, which is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity, holds substantially all of the assets of our Company and conducts substantially all of our business. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., which are generally contributed to our operating partnership in exchange for units of partnership interest in our operating partnership, our operating partnership generates the capital required by our Company’s business through its operations, its incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of units of partnership interest in our operating partnership.
Non-controlling interest, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of our Company and those of our operating partnership. The common units in our operating partnership are accounted for as partners’ capital in our operating partnership’s consolidated financial statements and, to the extent not held by our Company, as a non-controlling interest in our Company’s consolidated financial statements. The differences between stockholders’ equity, partners’ capital and non-controlling interest result from the differences in the equity issued by our Company and our operating partnership.
To help investors understand the significant differences between our Company and our operating partnership, this report presents the consolidated financial statements separately for our Company and our operating partnership. All other sections of this report, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” are presented together for our Company and our operating partnership.


2



In order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that our Company and our operating partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act and 18 U.S.C. §1350, this report also includes separate Part I, Item 4 “Controls and Procedures” sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and our operating partnership.

consolidated financial statements in the 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. and the notes thereto.

Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for the prior period have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Included in the reclassified amounts are properties held for sale. These amounts relate to 3402 Pico Boulevard, which was sold on March 21, 2017, and Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II, which are expected to be sold during the fourth quarter of 2017.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, the operating partnership and all wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”), of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the operating partnership include the accounts of the operating partnership and all wholly owned subsidiaries and VIEs, of which the operating partnership is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
    
The Company consolidates all VIEs of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors (i) do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has determined that four joint ventures and our operating partnership met the definition of a VIE. Three of the joint ventures are consolidated entities and one joint venture is a non-consolidated entity.

Consolidated Entities

As of September 30, 2017, the operating partnership has determined that three of its joint ventures met the definition of a VIE and are consolidated:

(1)
A single joint venture owns both Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II. The Company entered into an agreement on September 14, 2017 to sell its ownership interest in Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II. The sale is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company has determined that our operating partnership met the definition of a VIE and is consolidated. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are related to these VIEs.

Non-consolidated Entities

On June 15, 2017, the Company purchased the remaining interest in land at its 11601 Wilshire property. Refer to Note 3 for details. As a result of the purchase, the Company is no longer accounting for the interest in land as a non-consolidated entity.

As of September 30, 2017, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of one joint venture that meets the definition of a VIE. Due to its significant influence over the non-consolidated entity, the Company accounts for it using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company initially records the investment at cost and subsequently adjusts for equity in earnings or losses and cash contributions and distributions. The Company’s net equity investment is reflected within prepaid expenses and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets which represents the

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share/unit data)


Company’s maximum exposure for loss. The Company’s share of net income or loss from the entity is included within other income on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company owns 21% of the non-consolidated entity.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing and assessing the carrying values of its real estate properties, its accrued liabilities and its performance-based equity compensation awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“the FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). The following ASUs were adopted by the Company in 2017:
Standard
 
Description
 
Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment
 
This guidance removes step two from the goodwill impairment test. As a result, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.
 
The Company early adopted this guidance during the second quarter of 2017 and applied it prospectively. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2017-03, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections (Topic 250) and Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings (SEC Update)
 
The guidance in this ASU is based on two SEC staff announcements made at the September 2016 and November 2016 EITF meetings. In the September meeting, the SEC announced that a registrant should disclose the potential material effects of the ASUs related to revenues, leases and credit losses on financial instruments. As a result of the November meeting, the ASU conforms Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 323 to the guidance issued in ASU 2014-01 related to investments in qualified affordable housing projects.
 
The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2017 and applied it prospectively. With the adoption, the Company provided updates on its implementation of the ASUs related to revenue, leases and credit losses on financial instruments. Please refer to sections below for updates on the implementation of revenue and lease ASUs. The ASU related to credit losses on financial instruments could have a material impact on trade receivables and the Company is currently assessing the impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-19, Technical Corrections and Improvements
 
The technical corrections make minor change to certain aspects of the FASB ASC, including changes to resolve differences between current and pre-Codification guidance, updates to wording, references to avoid misapplication and textual simplifications to increase the Codification’s utility and understandability and minor amendments to guidance that are not expected to have a significant effect on current accounting practice or create a significant administrative cost to most entities.
 
The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2017 and applied it prospectively. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)
 
This guidance requires entities to include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. 
 
The Company early adopted this guidance during the second quarter of 2017 and applied it retrospectively. Pursuant to the adoption, the Company revised the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and disclosed the reconciliation to the related captions in the Consolidated Balance Sheets in Note 19.

Description
 
Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control
 
This guidance outlines how a single decisionmaker of a VIE should treat indirect interests held through other related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE.
 
The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2017 and applied it retrospectively. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and did not change the consolidation conclusion.
ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
 
This ASU clarifies how certain transactions should be classified in the statement of cash flows, including debt prepayment costs, contingent consideration payments made after a business combination and distributions received from equity method investments. The ASU provides two approaches to determine the classification of cash distributions received from equity method investments: (i) the “cumulative earnings” approach, under which distributions up to the amount of cumulative equity in earnings recognized will be classified as cash inflows from operating activities, and those in excess of that amount will be classified as cash inflows from investing activities and (ii) the “nature of the distribution” approach, under which distributions will be classified based on the nature of the underlying activity that generated cash distributions. The guidance requires a Company to elect either the “cumulative earnings” approach or the “nature of the distribution” approach at the time of adoption.
 
The Company early adopted this guidance during the second quarter of 2017 and applied it retrospectively. Pursuant to the adoption, the Company elected the “nature of the distribution” approach related to the distributions received from its equity method investments. The adoption did not have an impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
ASU 2016-07, Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), Simplifying the Transition to the Equity Method of Accounting
 
The guidance eliminates the requirement that an investor retrospectively apply equity method accounting when an investment that it had accounted for by another method initially qualifies for use of the equity method. The guidance also requires an investor that has an available-for-sale security that subsequently qualifies for the equity method to recognize in net income the unrealized holding gains or losses in accumulated other comprehensive income related to that security when it begins applying the equity method. It is required to apply this guidance prospectively.
 
The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2017 and applied it prospectively. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2016-05, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships
 
The guidance states that the novation of a derivative contract (e.g., a change in the counterparty) in a hedge accounting relationship does not, in and of itself, require de-designation of that hedge accounting relationship. The hedge accounting relationship could continue uninterrupted if all of the other hedge accounting criteria are met, including the expectation that the hedge will be highly effective when the creditworthiness of the new counterparty to the derivative contract is considered. Either a prospective or a modified retrospective approach can be applied.
 
The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2017 and applied it prospectively. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
    
Update on ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), implementation

On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This guidance outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers and specifically notes that lease contracts with customers are a scope exception. The FASB has subsequently issued other ASUs to amend and provide further guidance related to ASC 606. These ASUs are effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2017. Either the full retrospective basis (to the beginning of its contracts) or modified retrospective method (from the beginning of the latest fiscal year of adoption) is permitted.

The Company has compiled an inventory of sources of revenues and have preliminarily identified three revenue streams. Two of these revenue streams will be accounted for under ASC 606 when it becomes effective on January 1, 2018. The remaining revenue stream, which is integral to the Company’s leasing revenues, will be accounted for under ASC 606, effective with the adoption of ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), on January 1, 2019. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact on its consolidated financial statements but expects that the recognition of revenues will not be impacted by this standard. The Company plans to adopt ASC 606 on January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach.

Update on ASC 842 implementation

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 to amend the accounting guidance for leases and sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease agreement (i.e., lessees and lessors). 

ASC 842 provides practical expedience that allow entities to not (i) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (ii) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; (iii) reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2018. A modified retrospective approach must be applied for leases that exist or are entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the consolidated financial statements.

The Company plans to adopt the standard on January 1, 2019 and expects to adopt using the practical expedience elections.

Lessor Accounting
    
The Company recognized rental revenues and tenant recoveries of $175.3 million and $501.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. This ASU requires companies to identify lease and non-lease components of a lease agreement. Lease components relate to the right to use the leased asset and non-lease components relate to payments for goods or services that are transferred separately from the right to use the underlying asset. Total lease consideration is allocated to lease and non-lease components on a relative standalone basis. The recognition of revenues related to lease components will be governed by ASC 842 while revenue related to non-lease components will be subject to ASC 606.

Under current accounting standards, the Company recognizes rental revenue from tenants on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period during which the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recognized and presented gross, as we are generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, have discretion in selecting the supplier and bear the associated credit risk.

The Company has not completed its analysis of this ASU but expects that lessors will continue to recognize the lease revenue component using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance. The Company expects that tenant recoveries will be separated into lease and non-lease components.

The ASU also requires lessors to capitalize only those costs that are defined as initial direct costs. Under the current accounting standards, the Company capitalizes initial direct and indirect leasing costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company capitalized $1.8 million and $5.0 million of indirect leasing costs, respectively. Under this new ASU, these costs will be expensed as incurred.

Lessee Accounting

As of September 30, 2017, the future undiscounted minimum lease payments under the Company’s ground leases totaled $456.3 million. This guidance requires lessees to record a lease liability at lease inception, with a corresponding right-of-use asset, except for short-term leases. The Company continues to evaluate the amount of right-of-use asset and lease liability that will need to be recorded with respect to its ground leases where it is the lessee.

Other recently issued ASUs

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. The following table lists the recently issued ASUs that have not been disclosed in the Company’s 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K and have not been adopted by the Company. The list excludes those ASUs that are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Standard
 
Description
 
Effective Date
 
Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities
 
The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. Therefore, a cumulative effect adjustment related to elimination of ineffectiveness measurement is required to be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption for cash flow hedge. The guidance also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. This guidance must be applied using a modified retrospective approach.
 
Effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2018
 
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company expects that the adoption would impact derivative instruments that have portions of ineffectiveness. The Company plans to early adopt this guidance during the first quarter in 2018 and apply it using the modified retrospective approach.
ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting
 
The guidance clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. This guidance must be applied prospectively.
 
Effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2017
 
The Company does not currently expect a material impact of this ASU on its consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements. The Company plans to adopt this guidance during the first quarter in 2018.
ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets
 
The guidance updates the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset and clarifies the scope of ASC 610-20 on the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales. It also clarifies the derecognition guidance for nonfinancial assets to conform with the new revenue recognition standard. Either a full or modified retrospective approach can be applied.
 
Effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2017
 
The Company currently expects that the adoption of this ASU could have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements; however, such impact will not be known until the Company disposes of any of its investments in real estate properties, which would all be sales of nonfinancial assets. The Company plans to adopt this guidance during the first quarter in 2018 and apply it using the modified retrospective approach.

Acquisitions

The Company’s acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method. The results of operations for each of these acquisitions are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition.

The Company evaluates each acquisition to determine if the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meet the definition of a business and need to be accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations. An integrated set of assets and activities would fail to qualify as a business if either (i) substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets or (ii) the integrated set of assets and activities is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e., revenue generated before and after the transaction). An acquired process is considered substantive if (i) the process includes an organized workforce (or includes an acquired contract that provides access to an organized workforce) that is skilled, knowledgeable and experienced in performing the process, (ii) the process cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay or (iii) the process is considered unique or scarce.

The Company assesses fair value based on Level 2 and Level 3 inputs within the fair value framework, which includes estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount, capitalization rates, renewal probability and available market information, which includes market rental rate and market rent growth rates. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends and market and economic conditions.

The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The fair value of acquired “above- and below-” market leases are based on the estimated cash flow projections utilizing discount rates that reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired. The amount recorded is based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the extended below-market term for any leases with below-market renewal options. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes estimates of lost rents at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, which are dependent on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, the Company considers leasing commissions and legal and other related costs.

Current year activity

On September 14, 2017, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its ownership interests in the consolidated joint venture that owns the Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II properties to certain affiliates of Blackstone for $350.0 million, before credits, prorations and closing costs, including the assumption of $216.0 million of secured notes payable. The loan balance related to these properties as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 is reflected in liabilities associated with real estate held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On October 2, 2017, our operating partnership completed an underwritten public offering of $400.0 million in senior notes due November 1, 2027. The notes were issued at 99.815% of par, with a coupon of 3.950%. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, were approximately $396.7 million, which was used to repay $150.0 million of the Company’s 5-year term loan due April 2020 with the remainder of the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, used to fully repay the $250.0 million balance outstanding under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility.

Indebtedness

The Company presents its financial statements on a consolidated basis. Notwithstanding such presentation, except to the extent expressly indicated, such as in the case of the project financing for Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios, the Company’s separate property-owning subsidiaries are not obligors of the debt of their respective affiliates and each property-owning subsidiary’s separate liabilities do not constitute obligations of its respective affiliates.

Loan agreements include events of default that the Company believes are usual for loan and transactions of this type. As of the date of this filing, there have been no events of default associated with the Company’s loans.

Repayment Guarantees

Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios Loan    

In connection with the loan secured by the Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios properties, the Company has guaranteed in favor of and promised to pay to the lender 19.5% of the principal payable under the loan in the event the borrower, a wholly-owned entity of the operating partnership, does not do so. As of September 30, 2017, the outstanding balance was $5.0 million, which results in a maximum guarantee amount for the principal under this loan of $1.0 million. Furthermore, the Company agreed to guarantee the completion of the construction improvements, including tenant improvements, as defined in the agreement, in the event of any default of the borrower. If the borrower fails to complete the remaining required work, the guarantor agrees to perform timely all of the completion obligations, as defined in the agreement. As of the date of this filing, there has been no event of default associated with this loan.

10. Derivative Instruments

The Company enters into derivative instruments in order to hedge interest rate risk. The Company had six interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of $839.5 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. These derivative instruments were designated as effective cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. There is no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company’s derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 and their fair values are derived from estimated values obtained from observable market data for similar instruments.

5-Year Term Loan due April 2020 and 7-Year Term Loan due April 2022

On April 1, 2015, the Company effectively hedged $300.0 million of the 5-Year Term Loan due April 2020 through two interest rate swaps, each with a notional amount of $150.0 million, which, effective as of May 1, 2015, swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.36% through the loan’s maturity. Therefore, the interest rate is effectively fixed at 2.66% to 3.56%, depending on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio. The unhedged portion bears interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.30% to 2.20%, depending on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio.

The Company also effectively hedged its $350.0 million 7-Year Term Loan due April 2022 through two interest rate swaps, which, effective as of May 1, 2015, swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 1.61% through the loan’s maturity. Therefore, the interest rate is effectively fixed at 3.21% to 4.16% depending on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio.


29


Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share/unit data)


In July 2016, the derivative instruments described above were amended to include a 0.00% floor to one-month LIBOR and then de-designated the original swap and designated the amended swap as a hedge in order to minimize the ineffective portion of the original derivative instruments. Therefore, the effective interest rate increased to a range of 2.75% to 3.65% with respect to $300.0 million of the 5-Year Term Loan due April 2020 and 3.36% to 4.31% with respect to the 7-year Term Loan due April 2022, in each case, per annum. The interest rate within the range is based on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio. The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) prior to the de-designation is amortized into interest expense over the remaining original terms of the derivative instruments.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of $37 thousand and $82 thousand, respectively, reflected in the unrealized loss (gain) on ineffective portion of derivative instruments line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of $0.9 million and an unrealized loss of $1.6 million, respectively.

7-Year Term Loan due November 2022

On May 3, 2016, the Company entered into a derivative instrument with respect to $125.0 million of the 7-Year Term Loan due November 2022. This derivative instrument became effective on June 1, 2016 and swapped one-month LIBOR, which includes a 0.00% floor, to a fixed rate of 1.43% through the loan’s maturity.

Met Park North

On July 31, 2013, the Company closed a seven-year loan totaling $64.5 million with Union Bank, N.A., secured by the Met Park North property. The loan bears interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.55%. The full loan is subject to an interest rate contract that swaps one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of 2.16% through the loan’s maturity on August 1, 2020.

Overall

The fair market value of derivative instruments is presented on a gross basis in prepaid and other expenses, net and derivative liabilities line items on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The derivative assets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $6.3 million and $5.9 million, respectively. The derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were $0.8 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

The Company reclassifies into earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. As of September 30, 2017, the Company expects $1.1 million of unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive loss will be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months.

11. Income Taxes
    
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2010. Provided it continues to qualify for taxation as a REIT, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is generally not subject to corporate level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders. The Company has elected, together with one of its subsidiaries, to treat such subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes.

The Company’s property-owning subsidiaries are limited liability companies and treated as pass-through entities or disregarded entities (or, in the case of the entities that own the 1455 Market Street and Hill7 properties, REITs) for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the activities of these entities.

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of September 30, 2017, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.


30



The Company and its TRS file income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company and its TRS are no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2012. The Company has assessed its tax positions for all open years, which include 2012 to 2016, and concluded that there are no material uncertainties to be recognized.

12. Future Minimum Lease Payments

In situations where ground lease obligation adjustments are based on third-party appraisals of fair market land value, CPI adjustments and/or percentage of gross income that exceeds the minimum annual rent, the future minimum lease amounts above include the lease rental obligations in effect as of September 30, 2017.

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
    
The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

•
Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

•
Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

•

14. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has various stock compensation arrangements, which are more fully described in the 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Under the 2010 Incentive Plan, as amended (“the 2010 Plan”), the Company’s board of directors (“the Board”) has the ability to grant, among other things, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance-based awards.

The Board awards restricted shares to non-employee Board members on an annual basis as part of such Board members’ annual compensation and to newly elected non-employee Board members in accordance with the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. The time-based awards are generally issued in the second quarter in conjunction with the director’s election to the Board and the individual share awards vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which is three years.

The Board awards time-based restricted shares to employees on an annual basis as part of the employees’ annual compensation. The time-based awards are generally issued in the fourth quarter and the individual share awards vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which is generally three years. Additionally, certain restricted share awards are subject to a mandatory holding period upon vesting if the grantee is a named executive officer.

In December 2015, the Compensation Committee of the Board awarded a one-time special retention award to certain executives. The grants consist of time-based awards and performance-based awards. The time-based awards vest in equal 25% installments over a four-year period, subject to the participant’s continued employment. The performance-based awards vest over a four-year period, subject to the achievement of applicable performance goals and the participant’s continued employment.

The Compensation Committee of the Board annually adopts a Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Outperformance Program (“OPP Plan”) under the 2010 Plan. An award under the OPP Plan is ultimately earned to the extent the Company outperforms a predetermined total shareholder return (“TSR”) goal and/or achieves goals with respect to the outperformance of its peers in a particular REIT index. The ultimate aggregate award cannot exceed the predetermined maximum bonus pool. With respect to OPP Plan awards granted prior to 2017, to the extent an award is earned following the completion of a three-year performance period, 50% of the earned award will vest in full at the end of the three-year performance period and 25% of the earned award will vest in equal annual installments over the two years thereafter, subject to the participant’s continued

employment. OPP Plan awards granted are settled in common stock or, in the case of certain executives, in performance units in the operating partnership. In February 2017, the Compensation Committee adopted the 2017 OPP Plan. The 2017 OPP Plan is substantially similar to the previous OPP Plans except for (i) the performance period is January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019 (ii) the maximum bonus pool is $20.0 million and (iii) the two-year post-performance vesting period was replaced with a two-year mandatory holding period upon vesting.

The per unit fair value of the 2017 OPP award granted was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions in the Monte Carlo valuation:

Expected price volatility for the Company
24.00%
Expected price volatility for the particular REIT index

15. Earnings Per Share

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. calculates basic earnings per share by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. calculates diluted earnings per share by dividing the diluted net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive instruments outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, whichever is more dilutive. Unvested time-based RSUs and unvested OPP awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

Non-controlling Interests—Common units in the operating partnership

Common units of the operating partnership and shares of common stock of the Company have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of the operating partnership. Investors who own common units have the right to cause the operating partnership to repurchase any or all of their common units for cash equal to the then-current market value of one share of common stock or, at the Company’s election, issue shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for common units on a one-for-one basis.

Represents common units held by certain of the Company’s executive officers and directors, certain of their affiliates and other outside investors.

On January 10, 2017, common unitholders required the operating partnership to repurchase 8,881,575 common units and the Company elected, in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the operating partnership, to settle in cash to satisfy the repurchase. The Company funded the repurchase using the proceeds from a registered underwritten public offering of common stock.

Performance units are partnership interests in the operating partnership. Each performance unit awarded will be deemed equivalent to an award of one share of common stock under the 2010 Plan, reducing the availability for other equity awards on a one-for-one basis. Under the terms of the performance units, the operating partnership will revalue its assets for tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain specified events and any increase in valuation from the time of grant until such event will be allocated first to the holders of performance units to equalize the capital accounts of such holders with the capital accounts of common unitholders. Subject to any agreed upon exceptions, once vested and having achieved parity with common unitholders, performance units are convertible into common units in the operating partnership on a one-for-one basis.

Agreements Related to EOP Acquisition

On April 1, 2015, the Company completed the EOP Acquisition from certain affiliates of Blackstone, which consisted of 26 high-quality office assets totaling approximately 8.2 million square feet and two development parcels located throughout the Northern California region. The total consideration paid for the EOP Acquisition before certain credits, prorations and closing costs, included a cash payment of $1.75 billion and an aggregate of 63,474,791 shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and common units in the operating partnership. In connection with the EOP Acquisition, the Company, the operating partnership and Blackstone entered into a stockholders agreement, which conferred Blackstone certain rights, including the right to nominate up to three of the Company’s directors. Additionally, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Blackstone providing for customary registration rights with respect to the equity consideration paid in the EOP Acquisition.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

From time to time, the Company is party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings arising out of, or incident to, the ordinary course of business. Management believes, based in part upon consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of all such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. As of September 30, 2017, the risk of material loss from such legal actions impacting the Company’s financial condition or results from operations has been assessed as remote.

Letters of Credit

As of September 30, 2017, the Company has an outstanding letter of credit totaling approximately $2.0 million under the unsecured revolving credit facility. The letter of credit is related to utility company security deposit requirements.

19. Cash Flow Reconciliation

Restricted cash primarily consists of amounts held by lenders to fund reserves such as capital improvements, taxes, insurance, debt service and operating expenditures. Pursuant to the adoption of ASU 2016-18, the Company included restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, which resulted in an increase of $4.1 million in the net cash provided by operating activities line item in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

ITEM 2.
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to time by us or our representatives in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other filings or reports filed with the SEC, press releases, conferences, or otherwise, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act). In particular, statements relating to our liquidity and capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Furthermore, all of the statements regarding future financial performance (including anticipated funds from operations, or FFO, market conditions and demographics) are forward-looking statements. We are including this cautionary statement to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any such forward-looking statements. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or that management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which were based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends. Additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties is contained in our other periodic filings with the SEC.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, liquidity or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

•
adverse economic or real estate developments in our target markets;

•
general economic conditions;

•
defaults on, early terminations of or non-renewal of leases by tenants;

•
fluctuations in interest rates and increased operating costs;

•
our failure to obtain necessary outside financing or maintain an investment grade rating;

•
our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness and maintain dividend payments;

•
lack or insufficient amounts of insurance;

•
decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;

•
difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions;

•
our failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations;

•
our failure to maintain our status as a REIT;

•
environmental uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters;

•
financial market fluctuations;


39



•
risks related to acquisitions generally, including the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and the impact on customers, tenants, lenders, operating results and business;

•
the inability to successfully integrate acquired properties, realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or capitalize on value creation opportunities;

•
changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates; and

•
other factors affecting the real estate industry generally.

Additionally, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2017 to the three months ended September 30, 2016
    
Net Operating Income

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 (including rental revenues, other property-related revenue, tenant recoveries and other operating revenues), less property-level operating expenses (which includes external management fees, if any, and property-level general and administrative expenses). NOI on a cash basis is NOI on a GAAP basis, 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.

Management further analyzes NOI by evaluating the performance from the following property groups:

•
Same-Store properties, which includes all of the properties owned and included in our stabilized portfolio as of July 1, 2016 and still owned and included in the stabilized portfolio as of September 30, 2017;

•
Non-Same-Store properties, held for sale properties, development projects, redevelopment properties and lease-up properties as of September 30, 2017 and other properties not owned or not in operation from July 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017.

NOI increased $16.2 million, or 15.6%, for the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2016, primarily resulting from:

•
A $4.1 million, or 6.2%, increase in NOI from our Same-Store Office properties resulting primarily from increased rental revenues relating to leases signed at our 1455 Market Street (Bank of America) and 875 Howard Street (Glu Mobile, Inc. and Snap, Inc.) properties at a higher rate than expiring leases and reduction in above-market lease amortization at our Towers at Shore Center property, partially offset by lower occupancy at our Rincon Center property. Tenant recoveries increased due to higher overall recoverable operating expenses. Parking and other revenues increased due to lease termination fees related to our Campus Center and 901 Market Street properties.

•
A $10.8 million, or 34.7%, increase in NOI from our Non-Same-Store Office properties resulting primarily from increased rental revenues relating to the commencement of Netflix, Inc.’s lease at our ICON property, leases signed at our Metro Center (Qualys, Inc.) and Shorebreeze (Y Media Labs) properties at a higher rate than expiring leases and acquisitions in 2016, which include 11601 Wilshire (acquired in July 2016), Hill7 (acquired in October 2016) and Page Mill Hill (acquired in December 2016), collectively referred to as “the 2016 Acquisitions.” The increase was partially offset by the sale of our 12655 Jefferson (sold in November 2016) and 222 Kearny Street (sold in February 2017) properties. The increase was also partially offset by lower revenues from our 604 Arizona property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project.

•
A $0.1 million, or 2.5%, increase in NOI from our Same-Store Media and Entertainment properties resulting primarily from higher rental revenues. The change was driven by increase in occupancy and production at Sunset Bronson Studios.

•
A $1.1 million, or 100.0%, increase in NOI from our Non-Same-Store Media and Entertainment property resulting from our acquisition of Sunset Las Palmas Studios in May 2017.

Office NOI
    
Same-Store

Same-Store Office rental revenues increased $3.6 million, or 4.6%, to $81.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $78.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to leases signed at our 1455 Market Street (Bank of America) and 875 Howard Street (Glu Mobile, Inc. and Snap, Inc.) properties at a higher rate than expiring leases. The increase was also due to a reduction in above-market lease amortization at our Towers at Shore Center property, partially offset by lower occupancy at our Rincon Center property.

Same-Store Office tenant recoveries increased $0.4 million, or 2.3%, to $17.8 million for three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $17.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was due to higher overall recoverable operating expenses.

Same-Store Office parking and other revenues increased $1.9 million, or 58.0%, to $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $3.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to lease termination fees related to our Campus Center and 901 Market Street properties.

Same-Store Office operating expenses increased $1.7 million, or 5.3%, to $33.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $31.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The change was primarily due to an increase in repairs and maintenance expense and ground rent expense, partially offset by a decrease in operating expense due to property tax reassessments relating to the prior year for our Rincon Center property.

Non-Same-Store

Non-Same-Store Office rental revenues increased by $11.7 million, or 25.5%, to $57.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $45.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to 2016 Acquisitions, rental revenues relating to the commencement of Netflix, Inc.’s lease at our ICON property, and leases signed at our Metro Center (Qualys, Inc.) and Shorebreeze (Y Media Labs) properties at a higher rate than expiring leases. The increase was also partially offset by lower revenues from our 604 Arizona property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project, and by the sale of our 12655 Jefferson and 222 Kearny Street properties.

Non-Same-Store Office tenant recoveries increased $1.9 million, or 36.8%, to $7.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due the commencement of Netflix, Inc.’s lease at our ICON property and the 2016 Acquisitions, partially offset by the sale of our 222 Kearny Street property.

Non-Same-Store Office parking and other revenues increased $0.6 million, or 27.9%, to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to the commencement of Netflix, Inc.’s lease at our ICON property and the 2016 Acquisitions, partially offset by the sale of our 222 Kearny Street property.

Non-Same-Store Office operating expenses increased by $3.4 million, or 15.5%, to $25.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $22.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to the 2016 Acquisitions and the commencement of Netflix, Inc.’s lease at our ICON property, partially offset by the sale of our 222 Kearny Street property. In addition, the increase was partially offset by lower expenses from our 604 Arizona property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project.

Media & Entertainment NOI

Same-Store
 
Same-Store Media and Entertainment revenues increased by $1.0 million, or 7.9%, to $13.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $12.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The activity was primarily related to an increase in rental revenues by $1.1 million to $8.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to an increase in occupancy and production at Sunset Bronson Studios. Tenant recoveries of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 remained relatively flat as compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Other property-related revenues of $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 remained relatively flat as compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.
 
Same-Store Media and Entertainment operating expenses increased $0.8 million, or 12.8%, to $7.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was due to overall increase in occupancy and production.

Non-Same-Store

Non-Same-Store Media and Entertainment revenues were $4.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. Non-Same-Store Media and Entertainment operating expenses were $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. We acquired Sunset Las Palmas Studios in May 2017, which caused the increase in revenues and expenses.

Other Expenses (Income)

Interest expense increased $2.6 million, or 12.8%, to $22.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $19.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. We had notes payable, excluding net deferred financing costs, of $2.66 billion at September 30, 2017 compared to $2.43 billion at September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in our unsecured revolving credit facility usage, $101.0 million of borrowings related to our Hill7 property and $50.0 million of borrowings related to a private placement drawn on September 15, 2016.

We recognized unrealized loss on our derivative instruments of $37 thousand during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $0.9 million unrealized gain during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The unrealized loss was related to a portion of our derivative instruments that was evaluated to be ineffective in 2016. In July 2016, we amended the interest rate swaps to add a 0.00% floor to one-month LIBOR and then de-designated the original swaps and designated the amended swaps as a hedge in order to minimize the ineffective portion of the original derivatives.

Other income increased $0.7 million, or 102.3%, to $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $0.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2016. The change was primarily due to increased income related to a joint venture we entered into on June 16, 2016 to co-originate a loan secured by land in Santa Clara, California.

General and administrative expenses include wages and salaries for corporate-level employees, accounting, legal and other professional services, office supplies, entertainment, travel and automobile expenses, telecommunications and computer-related expenses and other miscellaneous items. General and administrative expenses increased $0.1 million, or 0.4%, to $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The change was primarily attributable to the adoption of the 2017 Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Outperformance Program (“2017 OPP Plan”) and increased staffing to meet operational needs, partially offset by decreases in information technology expenses and investor relations costs.
    
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.7 million, or 5.6%, to $71.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $67.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily related to depreciation expenses associated with the 2016 Acquisitions, our ICON property and the acquisition of Sunset Las Palmas Studios, partially offset by the reduction of depreciation expense as a result of the sale of our 222 Kearny Street property.

NOI increased $48.5 million, or 16.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2016, primarily resulting from:

•
A $15.6 million, or 8.2%, increase in NOI from our Same-Store Office properties resulting primarily from increased rental revenues relating to leases signed at our 1455 Market Street (Uber Technologies, Inc. and Bank of America), 875 Howard Street (Glu Mobile, Inc. and Snap, Inc.) and 625 Second Street (Github, Inc. and Ziff Davis, LLC) properties at a higher rate than expiring leases. The increase was also due to a reduction in above-market lease amortization at our Towers at Shore Center property, partially offset by a one-time GAAP straight-line rent write-off at our 901 Market Street (NerdWallet) property. In addition, parking and other revenues increased due to lease termination fees related to our Campus Center and 901 Market Street properties. In addition, tenant recoveries decreased due to property tax adjustments relating to the prior year for our Rincon Center property and lower recoveries for our Towers at Shore Center property, partially offset by higher recoveries for our 1455 Market Street property.

•
A $29.7 million, or 30.2%, increase in NOI from our Non-Same-Store Office store properties resulting primarily from increased rental revenues relating to the commencement of Netflix, Inc.’s lease at our ICON property in the first quarter of 2017, leases signed at our Metro Center (Qualys, Inc. and BrightEdge Technologies, Inc.) property at a higher rate than expiring leases and the 2016 Acquisitions, partially offset by the sale of our One Bay Plaza (sold in June 2016) and 222 Kearny Street (sold in February 2017) properties. In addition, the increase was partially offset by lower revenues from our 604 Arizona property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project, and lower occupancy at our Palo Alto Square property.




51



•
A $0.8 million, or 5.3%, increase in NOI from our Same-Store Media and Entertainment properties resulted primarily from higher rental revenues. The increase was primarily from an increase in occupancy and production at Sunset Bronson Studios, partially offset by increase in property taxes due to adjustments made in the prior year.

•
A $2.4 million, or 100.0%, increase in NOI from our Non-Same-Store Media and Entertainment properties resulting from the acquisition of Sunset Las Palmas Studios in May 2017.

Office NOI
    
Same-Store

Same-Store Office rental revenues increased $11.9 million, or 5.4%, to $231.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $219.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to leases signed at our 1455 Market Street (Uber Technologies, Inc. and Bank of America), 875 Howard Street (Glu Mobile, Inc. and Snap, Inc.) and 625 Second Street (Github, Inc. and Ziff Davis, LLC) properties at a higher rate than expiring leases. The increase was also due to a reduction in above-market lease amortization at our Towers at Shore Center property, partially offset by a one-time GAAP straight-line rent write-off at our 901 Market Street (NerdWallet) property.

Same-Store Office tenant recoveries decreased $1.8 million, or 3.7%, to $47.4 million for nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $49.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily related to lower property tax recovery resulting from a property tax reassessment of our Rincon Center property and lower recoveries for our Towers at Shore Center property, partially offset by higher recoveries for our 1455 Market Street property.

Same-Store Office parking and other revenues increased $3.7 million, or 37.6%, to $13.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to lease termination fees related to our Campus Center and 901 Market Street properties.

Same-Store Office operating expenses decreased $1.9 million, or 2.1%, to $87.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $89.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The decrease was primarily due to property tax reassessments relating to the prior year for our Rincon Center.

Non-Same-Store

Non-Same-Store Office rental revenues increased by $36.2 million, or 26.1%, to $174.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $138.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due to rental revenues relating to the commencement of Netflix, Inc.’s lease at our ICON property in the first quarter of 2017, leases signed at our Metro Center (Qualys, Inc. and BrightEdge Technologies, Inc.) property at a higher rate than expiring leases and the 2016 Acquisitions, partially offset by the sale of our One Bay Plaza and 222 Kearny Street properties. In addition, the increase was partially offset by lower revenues from our 604 Arizona property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project, and lower occupancy at our Palo Alto Square property.

Non-Same-Store Office tenant recoveries increased $4.8 million, or 31.4%, to $20.0 million for nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $15.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due the commencement of Netflix, Inc.’s lease at our ICON property and the 2016 Acquisitions, partially offset by the sale of our One Bay Plaza and 222 Kearny Street properties.

Non-Same-Store Office parking and other revenues increased $2.4 million, or 37.4%, to $8.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $6.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due the commencement of Netflix, Inc.’s lease at our ICON property and the 2016 Acquisitions, partially offset by the sale of our 222 Kearny Street property.

Non-Same-Store Office operating expenses increased by $13.6 million, or 22.1%, to $75.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $61.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily due the commencement of Netflix, Inc.’s lease at our ICON property, higher expense at Metro Center and the 2016 Acquisitions, partially offset by the sale of our One Bay Plaza and 222 Kearny Street properties.

Same-Store

The activity was primarily related to a $2.0 million increase in rental revenue to $22.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to $20.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as a result of an increase in occupancy and production at Sunset Bronson Studios.

Non-Same-Store Media and Entertainment operating expenses were $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We acquired Sunset Las Palmas Studios in May 2017, which caused the increase in revenues and expenses.

Other Expenses (Income)

Interest expense increased $11.3 million, or 20.6%, to $66.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $54.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. At September 30, 2017, we had $2.66 billion of notes payable, compared to $2.43 billion at September 30, 2016, excluding net deferred financing costs. The increase was primarily attributable to a $400.0 million net increase in term loan debt and private placement borrowings and $101.0 million borrowings related to our Hill7 property, partially offset by interest savings related to the paydown on our indebtedness associated with our Sunset Gower Studios, Sunset Bronson Studios and 901 Market Street properties.

We recognized unrealized loss on our derivative instruments of $0.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016 as compared to $1.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The unrealized loss was related to a portion of our derivative instruments that was evaluated to be ineffective in 2016. In July 2016, we amended the interest rate swaps to add a 0.00% floor to one-month LIBOR and then de-designated the original swaps and designated the amended swaps as a hedge in order to minimize the ineffective portion of the original derivatives.

Other income increased $1.9 million, or 270.9%, to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The change was primarily due to increased income related to a joint venture we entered into on June 16, 2016 to co-originate a loan secured by land in Santa Clara, California.

We recognized $16.9 million gains on sale of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to a $8.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. We completed the sale of our 222 Kearny Street and 3402 Pico Boulevard properties in 2017 and completed the sale of our Bayhill Office Center, Patrick Henry Drive and One Bay Plaza properties in 2016.


53



General and administrative expenses include wages and salaries for corporate-level employees, accounting, legal and other professional services, office supplies, entertainment, travel and automobile expenses, telecommunications and computer-related expenses and other miscellaneous items. General and administrative expenses increased $2.9 million, or 7.4%, to $41.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $38.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the adoption of the 2017 OPP, increased staffing to meet operational needs and investor relations costs.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $15.5 million, or 7.7%, to $217.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $201.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase was primarily related to depreciation expenses associated with 2016 Acquisitions, our ICON property and the acquisition of Sunset Las Palmas Studios, partially offset by the reduction of depreciation expense as a result of the sale of our One Bay Plaza and 222 Kearny Street properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had $87.7 million of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2017.

As of September 30, 2017, we had $150.0 million of total undrawn capacity under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

We have an at-the-market equity offering program, or ATM program, which allows us to sell up to $125.0 million of common stock, $20.1 million of which has been sold through September 30, 2017.

On January 20, 2016, our Board authorized a share repurchase program to buy up to $100.0 million of our outstanding common stock. No share repurchases were made through September 30, 2017.

Based on the closing price of our common stock of $33.53 on September 30, 2017, our ratio of debt to total market capitalization was approximately 33.5% (counting Series A preferred units as debt). Our total market capitalization is defined as the sum of the market value of our outstanding common stock (which may decrease, thereby increasing our debt to total capitalization ratio), including restricted stock that we may issue to certain of our directors and executive officers, plus the aggregate value of common units not owned by us, plus the liquidation preference of outstanding Series A preferred units, plus the book value of our total consolidated indebtedness.

On October 2, 2017, our operating partnership completed an underwritten public offering of $400.0 million in senior notes due November 1, 2027. The notes were issued at 99.815% of par, with a coupon of 3.950%. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, were approximately $396.7 million, which was used to repay $150.0 million of our 5-year term loan due April 2020 with the remainder of the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, used to fully repay the $250.0 million balance outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

We intend to use the unsecured revolving credit facility and ATM program, among other things, to finance the acquisition of other properties, to provide funds for tenant improvements and capital expenditures and to provide for working capital and other corporate purposes.

Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our limited partners and dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT status, capital expenditures and potential acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through cash on hand, net cash provided by operations, certain amounts included in restricted cash and, if necessary, by drawing upon our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at maturity, property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements using our unsecured revolving credit facility pending permanent financing.

54




We believe we have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of additional equity. However, our ability to incur additional debt will be dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. Our ability to access the equity capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about us.

Outstanding Indebtedness

Our indebtedness creates the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on or other amounts in respect of our indebtedness and other obligations. In addition, we may incur additional debt from time to time to finance strategic acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or for other purposes, subject to the restrictions contained in the documents governing our indebtedness. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase.

As of September 30, 2017, we had outstanding notes payable of $2.66 billion (before $16.8 million of net deferred financing costs and including notes payable associated with real estate held for sale), of which $1.42 billion, or 53.4%, was variable rate debt. $839.5 million of the variable rate debt is subject to derivative instruments described in Part I, Item 1 “Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Derivative Instruments.”

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $113.5 million and $108.2 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $38.8 million to $239.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $200.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The change resulted primarily from an increase in cash NOI, as defined, from our office and media and entertainment properties, driven by our Sunset Las Palmas Studios acquisition, 2016 Acquisitions and higher rental revenue across our portfolio, partially offset by lower cash NOI related to One Bay Plaza (sold in June 2016) and 222 Kearny Street (sold in February 2017) properties.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $164.5 million to $384.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $220.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The increase resulted primarily from a reduction in proceeds from sales of real estate properties and an increase in cash used for additions to investment in real estate, partially offset by a reduction in cash used to acquire real estate.

Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $91.2 million to $150.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $59.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016. The change resulted primarily from a reduction in repurchases of common units in our operating partnership and reduction in payments of notes payable, partially offset by a reduction in proceeds from notes payable and reduction in proceeds from sale of stock.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments
    
During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the information regarding specified contractual obligations contained in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Part I, Item 1 “Note 8 to our Consolidated Financial Statements—Notes Payable, net” for information regarding our minimum future principal payments due on our note payables. See Part I, Item 1 “Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements—Future Minimum Lease Payments” for information regarding our future minimum ground lease payments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates of certain items and judgments as to certain future events, for example with respect to the assignment of the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings, improvements,

57



equipment and any related intangible assets and liabilities, or the effect of a property tax reassessment of our properties. These determinations, even though inherently subjective and prone to change, affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. While we believe that our estimates are based on reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time they are made, some of our assumptions, estimates and judgments will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, actual outcomes will likely differ from our accruals and those differences—positive or negative—could be material. Some of our accruals are subject to adjustment, as we believe appropriate based on revised estimates and reconciliation to the actual results when available.

In addition, we identified certain critical accounting policies that affect certain of our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements in our 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have not made any material changes to these policies during the periods covered by this Report.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds From Operations

We calculate 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 GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The calculation of FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. We believe that FFO 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.

During the third quarter of 2017, our operating partnership issued an aggregate of 950 common units to the Company.

All other issuances of unregistered equity securities of our operating partnership during the third quarter of 2017 have previously been disclosed in filings with the SEC.
