Defined terms used in this Report:



Annualized Rent	Annualized cash base rent (excluding tenant reimbursements, parking and other income) before abatements under leases commenced as of the reporting date. Annualized rent for our triple net office leases is calculated by adding expense reimbursements and estimates of normal building expenses paid by tenants to base rent. Annualized rent does not include lost rent recovered from insurance and rent for building management use.
Consolidated Portfolio	Includes the properties in our consolidated results, which includes the properties owned by our consolidated JVs.
Funds From Operations (FFO)	We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by NAREIT by excluding gains (or losses) on sales of investments in real estate, real estate depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of deferred loan costs) from our net income (including adjusting for the effect of such items attributable to consolidated joint ventures and unconsolidated real estate funds, but not for noncontrolling interests included in our Operating Partnership). FFO is a Non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that we report because it is useful to our investors. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2 for a discussion of FFO.
Net Operating Income (NOI)	We calculate NOI, a Non-GAAP measure, as revenue less operating expenses attributable to the properties that we own and operate. NOI is calculated by excluding the following from our net income: general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization expense, other income, other expense, income, including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds, interest expense, gains (or losses) on sales of investments in real estate and net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. NOI is a Non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that we report because it is useful to our investors. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2 for a discussion of our Same Properties NOI.
Occupancy Rate	The percentage leased, excluding signed leases not yet commenced, as of the reporting date. Management space is considered leased and occupied, while space taken out of service during a repositioning is excluded from both the numerator and denominator for calculating percentage leased and occupied.
Recurring Capital Expenditures	Building improvements required to maintain revenues once a property has been stabilized, and excludes capital expenditures for (i) acquired buildings being stabilized, (ii) newly developed space, (iii) upgrades to improve revenues or operating expenses, (iv) casualty damage or (v) bringing the property into compliance with governmental requirements.
Rentable Square Feet	Based on the BOMA remeasurement and consists of leased square feet (including square feet with respect to signed leases not commenced as of the reporting date), available square feet, building management use square feet and square feet of the BOMA adjustment on leased space.
Same Properties	Our wholly-owned properties that have been owned and operated by us in a consistent manner, and reported in our consolidated results during the entire span of both periods being compared. We exclude from our same property subset any properties (i) acquired during the comparative periods; (ii) sold, held for sale, contributed or otherwise removed from our consolidated financial statements during the comparative periods; or (iii) that underwent a major repositioning project that we believed significantly affected its results during the comparative periods.
Short-Term Leases	Represents leases that expired on or before the reporting date or had a term of less than one year, including hold over tenancies, month to month leases and other short term occupancies.
Total Portfolio	Includes our Consolidated Portfolio plus the properties owned by our Funds.

Forward Looking Statements

This Report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “estimate”, “approximate”, “intend”, “plan”, “would”, “could”, “may”, “future” or other similar expressions in this Report. We claim the protection of the safe harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements used in this Report, or those that we make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on our beliefs and assumptions, as well as information currently available to us. Actual outcomes will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors beyond our control or ability to predict. Although we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, they are not guarantees of future performance and some will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, our future results can be expected to differ from our expectations, and those differences may be material. Accordingly, investors should use caution when relying on previously reported forward-looking statements, which were based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends. Some of the risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include the following:


•	adverse economic or real estate developments affecting Southern California or Honolulu, Hawaii;


•	competition from other real estate investors in our markets;


•	decreasing rental rates or increasing tenant incentive and vacancy rates;


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


•	increases in interest rates or operating costs;


•	insufficient cash flows to service our outstanding debt or pay rent on ground leases;


•	difficulties in raising capital;


•	inability to liquidate real estate or other investments quickly;


•	adverse changes to rent control laws and regulations;


•	environmental uncertainties;


•	natural disasters;


•	insufficient insurance, or increases in insurance costs;


•	inability to successfully expand into new markets and submarkets;


•	difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and failure to complete acquisitions successfully;


•	failure to successfully operate acquired properties;


•	risks associated with property development;


•	risks associated with JVs;


•	conflicts of interest with our officers and reliance on key personnel;


•	changes in zoning and other land use laws;


•	adverse results of litigation or governmental proceedings;


•	failure to comply with laws, regulations and covenants that are applicable to our properties;


•	possible terrorist attacks or wars;


•	possible cyber attacks or intrusions;


•	adverse changes to accounting rules;


•	weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting;


•	failure to maintain our REIT status under federal tax laws; and


•	adverse changes to tax laws, including those related to property taxes.

For further discussion of these and other risk factors see Item 1A. "Risk Factors” in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017. This Report and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report.

1. Overview

Organization and Business Description

Douglas Emmett, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT. We are one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. Through our interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, consolidated JVs and unconsolidated Funds, we focus on owning, acquiring, developing and managing a significant market share of top-tier office properties and premier multifamily communities in neighborhoods that possess significant supply constraints, high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities. The terms "us," "we" and "our" as used in the financial statements refer to Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis. At June 30, 2018, our Consolidated Portfolio consisted of (i) a 16.6 million square foot office portfolio, (ii) 3,522 multifamily apartment units and (iii) fee interests in two parcels of land from which we receive rent under ground leases. We also manage and own equity interests in unconsolidated Funds which, at June 30, 2018, owned an additional 1.8 million square feet of office space. We manage our unconsolidated Funds alongside our Consolidated Portfolio, and we therefore present the statistics for our office portfolio on a Total Portfolio basis. As of June 30, 2018, our portfolio (not including two parcels of land from which we receive rent under ground leases), consisted of the following office and multifamily properties (both of which include ancillary retail space):



	Consolidated Portfolio	Total Portfolio
Office
Wholly-owned properties	53	53
Consolidated JV properties	10	10
Unconsolidated Fund properties	—	8
	63	71

Multifamily
Wholly-owned properties	10	10

Total	73	81

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are the consolidated financial statements of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership and our consolidated JVs. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements. Our Operating Partnership and consolidated JVs are VIEs of which we are the primary beneficiary. As of June 30, 2018, the total consolidated assets, liabilities and equity of the VIEs was $8.32 billion (of which $7.79 billion related to investment in real estate), $4.39 billion and $3.93 billion (of which $1.47 billion related to noncontrolling interests), respectively.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the notes thereto. References in this Report to the number of properties, square footage, per square footage amounts, apartment units and geography, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

We adopted ASUs during the six months ended June 30, 2018 that changed our accounting policies for revenue recognition and hedge accounting disclosed in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K - see "New Accounting Pronouncements" below. The adoption of these ASUs did not have a material impact on our financial statements. We have not made any other changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. Provided that we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities. We are subject to corporate-level tax on the earnings that we derive through our TRS.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are implemented by the FASB in the form of ASUs. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Other than the ASUs discussed below, the FASB has not issued any other ASUs during 2018 that we expect to be applicable and have a material impact on our financial statements.

Adopted ASUs

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 we adopted the ASUs listed below:

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606), which provides guidance for the accounting of revenue from contracts with customers, and supersedes Topic 605, "Revenue Recognition", and most industry-specific guidance throughout the industry topics of the Codification. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)", which amends Topic 606 and clarifies the guidance for principal versus agent considerations. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing" which amends Topic 606 and provides guidance for identifying performance obligations and licensing. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, "Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients" which amends Topic 606 and provides guidance for a variety of revenue recognition related topics. In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05 "Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets" (Subtopic 610-20), which provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with non-customers. Sales of real estate are now accounted for under Subtopic 610-20 which focuses on a transfer of control. The amendments in these ASUs were effective in the first quarter of 2018 and were required to be applied on a retrospective basis.

Most of our revenues are derived from lease contracts with tenants and are not within the scope of the respective ASUs. Although our office parking revenues are within the scope of the respective ASUs, the timing and pattern of revenue recognition was not impacted. However, the scoping of our revenues could be impacted by ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" (Topic 842), which we plan to adopt in the first quarter of 2019 - see "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements" further below.

Our office parking revenues are mostly derived from lease contracts with our office tenants. The lease contracts generally make a specified number of parking spaces available to the tenant, and we bill and recognize parking revenues on a monthly basis in accordance with the lease agreements generally using the monthly parking rates in effect at the time of billing. Office parking revenues were $25.7 million and $24.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and $50.8 million and $47.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and are included in Office parking and other income in our consolidated statements of operations. Office parking receivables were $1.0 million as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. Office parking receivables are included in Tenant receivables in our consolidated balance sheets.

Derivatives and Hedging

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities". The ASU requires the entire change in the fair value of the hedging instrument included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness be recorded in other comprehensive income. GAAP historically provided special hedge accounting only for the portion of the hedge deemed to be “highly effective” and requires an entity to separately reflect the amount by which the hedging instrument does not offset the hedged item, which is referred to as the “ineffective” amount. The amendments are effective in the first quarter of 2019 and are required to be applied on a prospective basis. We early adopted the ASU and it did not have a material impact on our financial statements. The ASU requires the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU as an adjustment to AOCI with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year in which the ASU is adopted. On January 1, 2018, we recorded such an adjustment to AOCI and accumulated deficit of $211 thousand. See Note 10.

ASUs Not Yet Adopted

Leases

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" (Topic 842). The primary difference between Topic 842 and current GAAP is the recognition of lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet by lessees for leases classified as operating leases under current GAAP. The accounting applied by lessors is largely unchanged from current GAAP, for example, the vast majority of operating leases will remain classified as operating leases, and lessors will continue to recognize lease income for those leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Topic 842 requires separation of the lease from the non-lease components (for example, maintenance services or other activities that transfer a good or service to the customer) in a contract. Only the lease components should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842. The consideration in the contract is allocated to the lease and non-lease components on a relative standalone selling price basis and the non-lease component would be accounted for in accordance with ASC 606 ("Revenue from Contracts with Customers"). In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11 which includes an optional practical expedient for lessors to elect, by class of underlying asset, to not separate the lease from the non-lease components if certain criteria are met.

Topic 842 defines initial direct costs of a lease (which we have historically capitalized) as costs that would not have been incurred had the lease not been executed. Costs to negotiate a lease that would have been incurred regardless of whether the lease was executed, such as employee salaries, are not considered to be initial direct costs, and may not be capitalized.

We pay rent under a ground lease which expires on December 31, 2086. See Note 15 for more information regarding this ground lease. We currently account for the lease as an operating lease. We are currently evaluating the ASUs to determine if this ground lease should be accounted for as a finance lease with a corresponding right-of-use asset.

The ASUs are effective in the first quarter of 2019 and are required to be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, which includes optional practical expedients related to leases that commenced before the effective date. ASU No. 2018-11 includes an optional practical expedient which allows the new requirements to be applied on the date of adoption rather than the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented.

We are in the process of evaluating the impact of the ASUs, and the related practical expedients, on our financial statements and we plan to adopt the ASUs in the first quarter of 2019.

3. Investment in Real Estate

Property previously held for sale

During the first quarter we actively marketed for sale an 80,000 square foot Class A office property and a health club located in Honolulu, Hawaii. We partially own the assets through a consolidated joint venture in which we own a two-thirds interest. The net assets were presented in our first quarter balance sheet as property held-for-sale. During the second quarter we ceased marketing the assets for sale and reclassified the net assets in our balance sheet to investment in real estate.

Acquisitions during the six months ended June 30, 2017

We account for our property acquisitions as asset acquisitions. Prior to January 1, 2017, we accounted for our property acquisitions as business combinations. The acquired properties results of operations are included in our results of operations from the respective acquisition dates.

On April 25, 2017, a consolidated JV that we manage and in which we own an equity interest acquired two Class A office properties. The table below summarizes the purchase price allocations for the acquisitions. The contract and purchase prices differ due to prorations and similar matters:

Total interest payable, accounts payable and deferred revenue	$	125,419	$	103,947

9. Derivative Contracts

We make use of interest rate swap and cap contracts to manage the risk associated with changes in interest rates on our floating-rate debt. When we enter into a floating-rate term loan, we generally enter into an interest rate swap agreement for the equivalent principal amount, for a period covering the majority of the loan term, which effectively converts our floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis during that time. In limited instances, we also make use of interest rate caps to limit our exposure to interest rate increases on our floating-rate debt. We do not speculate in derivatives and we do not make use of any other derivative instruments. See Note 7 regarding our debt, and our consolidated JVs debt, that is hedged. See Note 16 regarding our unconsolidated Funds debt that is hedged.

Derivative Summary

As of June 30, 2018, all of our interest rate swaps, which include the interest rate swaps of our consolidated JVs and our unconsolidated Funds, were designated as cash flow hedges:

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

We have agreements with each of our interest rate swap counterparties that contain a provision under which we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations if we default on the underlying indebtedness that we are hedging. As of June 30, 2018, there have been no events of default with respect to our interest rate swaps or our consolidated JVs' or unconsolidated Funds' interest rate swaps. We do not post collateral for our interest rate swap contract liabilities. As of June 30, 2018, we, including our consolidated JVs' and our unconsolidated Funds, did not have any interest rate swaps with fair values that were in a liability position.

Counterparty Credit Risk

We are subject to credit risk from the counterparties on our interest rate swap contract assets because we do not receive collateral. We seek to minimize that risk by entering into agreements with a variety of high quality counterparties with investment grade ratings.

Noncontrolling Interests

Our noncontrolling interests consist of interests in our Operating Partnership and consolidated JVs which are not owned by us. Noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership consist of OP Units and fully-vested LTIP Units, and represented approximately 14% of our Operating Partnership's total interests as of June 30, 2018 when we and our Operating Partnership had 169.9 million shares of common stock and 27.4 million OP Units and fully-vested LTIP Units outstanding. A share of our common stock, an OP Unit and an LTIP Unit (once vested and booked up) have essentially the same economic characteristics, sharing equally in the distributions from our Operating Partnership. Investors who own OP Units have the right to cause our Operating Partnership to acquire their OP Units for an amount of cash per unit equal to the market value of one share of our common stock at the date of acquisition, or, at our election, exchange their OP Units for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. LTIP Units have been granted to our key employees and non-employee directors as part of their compensation. These awards generally vest over a service period and once vested can generally be converted to OP Units provided our stock price increases by more than a specified hurdle.

Equity Compensation

On June 2, 2016, the Douglas Emmett 2016 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan ("2016 Plan") became effective after receiving stockholder approval, superseding our prior plan, the Douglas Emmett 2006 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan ("2006 Plan"), both of which allow for awards to our directors, officers, employees and consultants. The key terms of the two plans are substantially identical, except for the date of expiration, the number of shares authorized for grants and various technical provisions. Grants after June 2, 2016 were awarded under the 2016 Plan, while grants prior to that date were awarded under the 2006 Plan (grants under the 2006 Plan remain outstanding according to their terms). Both plans are administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors.

Total net stock-based compensation expense was $2.9 million and $2.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and $6.0 million and $5.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 respectively. These amounts are net of capitalized stock-based compensation of $496 thousand and $247 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, and $948 thousand and $475 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 respectively. No options were exercised for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017. The intrinsic value of options exercised was $803 thousand and $102.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 respectively.

11. EPS

We calculate basic EPS by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We calculate diluted EPS by dividing the net income attributable 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. We account for unvested LTIP awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities and include these securities in the computation of basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method. The table below presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS:

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our estimates of the fair value of financial instruments were determined using available market information and widely used valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and determine an estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair values. The FASB fair value framework hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity, and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market-based inputs. The hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 - inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - inputs are observable either directly or indirectly for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 3 - inputs are unobservable assumptions generated by the reporting entity

As of June 30, 2018, we did not have any fair value estimates of financial instruments using Level 3 inputs.

Financial instruments disclosed at fair value

Short term financial instruments: The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, revolving credit line, interest payable, accounts payable, security deposits and dividends payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Secured notes payable: See Note 7 for the details of our secured notes payable. We estimate the fair value of our consolidated secured notes payable (excluding our revolving credit facility) by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of the principal and interest payments for each secured note payable. The calculation incorporates observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, assumes that the loans will be outstanding through maturity, and excludes any maturity extension options. The table below presents the estimated fair value of our secured notes payable:



(In thousands)	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017

Fair value	$	4,090,917	$	4,195,489
Carrying value	$	4,063,418	$	4,156,499

Financial instruments measured at fair value

Derivative instruments: See Note 9 for the details of our derivatives. We present our derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, on a gross basis, excluding accrued interest. We estimate the fair value of our derivative instruments by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of the expected future cash flows of each derivative. The calculation incorporates the contractual terms of the derivatives, observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, and credit risk adjustments to reflect the counterparty's as well as our own nonperformance risk. Our derivatives are not subject to master netting arrangements. The table below presents the estimated fair value of our derivatives:



(In thousands)	June 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Derivative Assets:
Fair value - consolidated derivatives⁽¹⁾	$	116,090	$	60,069
Fair value - unconsolidated Funds' derivatives⁽²⁾	$	19,308	$	9,437

Derivative Liabilities:
Fair value - consolidated derivatives⁽¹⁾	$	—	$	807
Fair value - unconsolidated Funds' derivatives⁽²⁾	$	—	$	—

____________________________________________________


(1)	Consolidated derivatives, which include 100%, not our pro-rata share, of our consolidated JVs' derivatives, are included in interest rate contracts in our consolidated balance sheets. The fair values exclude accrued interest which is included in interest payable in the consolidated balance sheets.

13. Segment Reporting

Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our management reviews information for operational decision-making purposes. We operate in two business segments: (i) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of office real estate and (ii) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily real estate. The services for our office segment primarily include rental of office space and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. The services for our multifamily segment include rental of apartments and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. Asset information by segment is not reported because we do not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources. Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments. General and administrative expenses and interest expense are not included in segment profit as our internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level. The table below presents the operating activity of our reportable segments:

14. Future Minimum Lease Rental Receipts

We lease space to tenants primarily under non-cancelable operating leases that generally contain provisions for a base rent plus reimbursement of certain operating expenses, and we own fee interests in two parcels of land from which we receive rent under ground leases. The table below presents the future minimum base rentals on our non-cancelable office tenant and ground leases at June 30, 2018:

Does not include (i) residential leases, which typically have a term of one year or less, (ii) holdover rent, (iii) other types of rent such as storage and antenna rent, (iv) tenant reimbursements, (v) straight- line rent, (vi) amortization/accretion of acquired above/below-market lease intangibles and (vii) percentage rents. The amounts assume that early termination options held by tenants are not exercised.

15. Future Minimum Lease Rental Payments

We pay rent under a ground lease which expires on December 31, 2086. The rent is fixed at $733 thousand per year until February 28, 2019, and will then reset to the greater of the existing ground rent or market. We incurred ground rent expense of $183 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 and $366 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 respectively. The table below, which assumes that the ground rent payments will continue to be $733 thousand per year after February 28, 2019, presents the future minimum ground lease payments as of June 30, 2018:

16. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Excluding ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our business, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Concentration of Risk

We are subject to credit risk with respect to our tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables related to our tenant leases. Our tenants' ability to honor the terms of their respective leases remains dependent upon economic, regulatory and social factors. We seek to minimize our credit risk from our tenant leases by (i) targeting smaller, more affluent tenants, from a diverse mix of industries, (ii) performing credit evaluations of prospective tenants and (iii) obtaining security deposits or letters of credit from our tenants. For the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, no tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues.

All of our properties, including the properties of our consolidated JVs and unconsolidated Funds, are located in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii, and we are therefore susceptible to adverse economic and regulatory developments, as well as natural disasters, in those markets.

We are subject to credit risk with respect to our interest rate swap counterparties that we use to manage the risk associated with our floating rate debt. We do not post or receive collateral with respect to our swap transactions. See Note 9 for the details of our interest rate contracts. We seek to minimize our credit risk by entering into agreements with a variety of high quality counterparties with investment grade ratings.

We have significant cash balances invested in a variety of short-term money market funds that are intended to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income. These investments are not insured against loss of principal and there is no guarantee that our investments in these funds will be redeemable at par value. We also have significant cash balances in bank accounts with high quality financial institutions with investment grade ratings. Interest bearing bank accounts at each U.S. banking institution are insured by the FDIC up to $250 thousand.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Conditional asset retirement obligations represent a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within our control. A liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation must be recorded if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Environmental site assessments have identified twenty-eight buildings in our Consolidated Portfolio and four buildings owned by our unconsolidated Funds which contain asbestos, and would have to be removed in compliance with applicable environmental regulations if these properties are demolished or undergo major renovations. As of June 30, 2018, the obligations to remove the asbestos from these properties have indeterminable settlement dates, and we are unable to reasonably estimate the fair value of the associated conditional asset retirement obligation.

Development and Other Contracts

During 2016, we commenced building an additional 475 apartments (net of existing apartments removed) at our Moanalua Hillside Apartments in Honolulu, Hawaii. We are also investing additional capital to upgrade the existing apartments, improve the parking and landscaping, building a new leasing and management office, and construct a new recreation and fitness facility with a new pool. As of June 30, 2018, we had leased 194 apartments. In West Los Angeles, we plan to build a high-rise apartment building with 376 apartments. As of June 30, 2018, we had an aggregate remaining contractual commitment for these development projects of approximately $230.6 million. As of June 30, 2018, we had an aggregate remaining contractual commitment for capital expenditure projects, repositionings and tenant improvements of approximately $46.6 million.

Guarantees

We have made certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve- outs for our unconsolidated Funds' debt. We have also guaranteed the related swaps. Our Funds have agreed to indemnify us for any amounts that we would be required to pay under these agreements. As of June 30, 2018, all of the obligations under the related debt and swap agreements have been performed in accordance with the terms of those agreements. The table below summarizes our Funds' debt as of June 30, 2018. The amounts represent 100% (not our pro-rata share) of the amounts related to our Funds:

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1 of this Report, and our Forward Looking Statements disclaimer.

Business Description

Douglas Emmett, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT. Through our interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, our consolidated JVs and our unconsolidated Funds, we are one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and in Honolulu, Hawaii. We focus on owning, acquiring, developing and managing a substantial share of top-tier office properties and premier multifamily communities in neighborhoods that possess significant supply constraints, high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities. As of June 30, 2018, our portfolio consisted of the following:




	Consolidated Portfolio⁽¹⁾	Total Portfolio⁽²⁾
Office
Class A Properties⁽³⁾	63	71
Rentable Square Feet (in thousands)	16,583	18,418
Leased rate	91.6%	91.7%

Multifamily
Properties⁽³⁾	10	10
Units	3,522	3,522
Leased rate	99.7%	99.7%
Occupied rate	96.2%	96.2%

__________________________________________________

(1)

Our Consolidated Portfolio includes the properties in our consolidated results. Through our subsidiaries, we own 100% of these properties except for ten office properties totaling 2.8 million square feet, which we own through three consolidated JVs. Our Consolidated Portfolio also includes two parcels of land from which we receive ground rent from ground leases to the owners of a Class A office building and a hotel.


(2)	Our Total Portfolio includes our Consolidated Portfolio as well as eight properties totaling 1.8 million square feet owned by our unconsolidated Funds. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information about our unconsolidated Funds.

(3) Our office and multifamily portfolios include ancillary retail space.

Annualized rent

As of June 30, 2018, annualized rent from our Consolidated Portfolio was derived as follows:

Financings, Developments and Repositionings

Financings

•

In February 2018, we borrowed $335 million under a secured, non-recourse interest-only loan maturing in March 2025. The loan bears interest at LIBOR + 1.30%, which was effectively fixed at 3.84% for five years through interest rate swaps. The loan is secured by a wholly-owned office property. We used the proceeds from the loan and our credit line to pay off two loans totaling $426 million which were scheduled to mature in 2019. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our debt.

Developments

We are developing two multifamily projects, one in our Brentwood submarket in Los Angeles, California, and one in Honolulu, Hawaii. Each development is on land which we already own:


•	In West Los Angeles, we are building a high-rise apartment building with 376 apartments. We expect the cost of the development to be approximately $180.0 million to $200.0 million, which does not include the cost of the land or the existing underground parking garage, both of which we owned before beginning the project. We expect construction to take about 3 years.

•

At our Moanalua Hillside Apartments in Honolulu, we are building an additional 475 apartments (net of existing apartments removed), which we expect will cost approximately $120.0 million excluding the cost of the land which we already owned before beginning the project. We are also investing additional capital to upgrade the existing apartments, improve the parking and landscaping, build a new leasing and management office, and construct a new recreation and fitness facility with a new pool. We expect to complete the project around year end and as of June 30, 2018, we had leased 194 of the new units.

Repositionings

We often strategically purchase properties with large vacancies or expected near-term lease roll-over and use our knowledge of the property and submarket to reposition the property for the optimal use and tenant mix. The work we undertake to reposition a building typically takes months or even years, and could involve a range of improvements from a complete structural renovation to a targeted remodeling of selected spaces. We generally select a property for repositioning at the time we purchase it, although repositioning efforts can also occur at properties that we already own. During the repositioning, the affected property may display depressed rental revenue and occupancy levels which impacts our results and, therefore, comparisons of our performance from period to period. In addition to our Moanalua Hillside Apartments project in Honolulu, described above under "Developments", as of June 30, 2018, we were repositioning four wholly-owned office properties aggregating 1.5 million square feet and one 583 thousand square foot office property held in a consolidated joint venture.

Rental Rate Trends - Total Portfolio

Office Rental Rates

The table below presents the average annual rental rate per leased square foot and the annualized lease transaction costs per leased square foot for leases executed in our total office portfolio:




	Six Months Ended	Year Ended December 31,
	June 30, 2018	2017	2016	2015	2014

Average straight-line rental rate⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾	$50.77	$44.48	$43.21	$42.65	$35.93
Annualized lease transaction costs⁽³⁾	$5.71	$5.68	$5.74	$4.77	$4.66

___________________________________________________

(1)

Because straight-line rent takes into account the full economic value of each lease, including rent concessions and escalations, we believe that it may provide a better comparison than ending cash rents, which include the impact of the annual escalations over the entire term of the lease. However, care should be taken in any comparison, as the averages are often significantly affected from period to period by factors such as the buildings, submarkets, and types of space and terms involved in the leases executed during the respective reporting period.

(2)	Our office rent roll can fluctuate from period to period as a result of changes in our submarkets, buildings and term of the expiring leases, making these metrics difficult to predict.


(3)	The percentage change for expiring cash rent represents the comparison between the starting cash rent on leases executed during the respective period and the expiring cash rent on the prior leases for the same space.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: FFO

Usefulness to Investors

We report FFO because it is a widely reported measure of the performance of equity REITs, and is also used by some investors to identify trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs from year to year, and to compare our performance with other REITs. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure for which we believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. FFO has limitations as a measure of our performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate, and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations. FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a measure of our liquidity or cash flow, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to the FFO of other REITs. See "Results of Operations" above for a discussion of the items that impacted our net income.

Comparison of three months ended June 30, 2018 to three months ended June 30, 2017

For the three months ended June 30, 2018, FFO increased by $15.9 million, or 18.7%, to $100.8 million, compared to $84.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in operating income from our office portfolio due to acquisitions in 2017 and increasing rental rates, and (ii) a decrease in interest expense due to lower debt balances.

Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2018 to six months ended June 30, 2017

For the six months ended June 30, 2018, FFO increased by $28.2 million, or 16.7%, to $196.8 million, compared to $168.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in operating income from our office portfolio due to acquisitions in 2017 and increasing rental rates, and (ii) a decrease in interest expense due to lower debt balances.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Same Property NOI

Usefulness to Investors

We report Same Property NOI to facilitate a comparison of our operations between reported periods. Many investors use Same Property NOI to evaluate our operating performance and to compare our operating performance with other REITs, because it can reduce the impact of investing transactions on operating trends. NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure for which we believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We report NOI because it is a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, and is used by some investors to identify trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs and to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. NOI has limitations as a measure of our performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization expense, and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations. Other REITs may not calculate Same Property NOI in the same manner. As a result, our Same Property NOI may not be comparable to the Same Property NOI of other REITs. Same Property NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a measure of our liquidity or cash flow, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. See "Results of Operations" above for a discussion of the items that impacted our net income.

As of June 30, 2018, our same properties included 47 office properties, aggregating 11.8 million Rentable Square Feet, and 9 multifamily properties with an aggregate 2,640 units.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short-term liquidity

Excluding acquisitions, development projects and debt refinancings, we expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through cash on hand, cash generated by operations and our revolving credit facility. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our revolving credit facility.

Long-term liquidity

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, development projects and debt refinancings. We do not expect to have sufficient funds on hand to cover these long-term cash requirements due to the requirement to distribute a substantial majority of our income on an annual basis imposed by REIT federal tax rules. We plan to meet our long-term liquidity needs through long-term secured non-recourse indebtedness, the issuance of equity securities, including common stock and OP Units, and JV transactions. We have an ATM program which would allow us, subject to market conditions, to sell up to $400 million of shares of common stock as of the date of this Report.

To mitigate the impact of changing interest rates on our cash flows from operations, most of our long-term secured loans carry fixed interest rates, and we generally enter into interest rate swap agreements with respect to our loans with floating interest rates. These swap agreements generally expire between one to two years before the maturity date of the related loan, during which time we can refinance the loan without any interest penalty. See Notes 7 and 9 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our debt and derivative contracts, respectively.

Contractual Obligations

See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for information regarding our minimum future principal payments due on our secured notes payable and revolving credit facility, as well as the interest rates that determine our future periodic interest payments, Note 15 for information regarding our minimum future ground lease payments, and Note 16 for information regarding our contractual obligations related to our developments, capital expenditure projects and repositionings.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Funds Debt

Our unconsolidated Funds have their own secured non-recourse debt, and we have made certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve-outs related to those loans. We have also guaranteed the related swaps. Our Funds have agreed to indemnify us for any amounts that we would be required to pay under these agreements. As of June 30, 2018, all of the obligations under the respective loans and swap agreements have been performed in accordance with the terms of those agreements. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

Cash flows used in investing activities⁽²⁾	$	(95,827	)	$	(401,648	)	$	(305,821	)	(76.1	)%
Cash flows (used in) provided by financing activities⁽³⁾	$	(126,307	)	$	263,270		$	(389,577	)	(148.0	)%

___________________________________________________

(1)

Our cash flows provided by operating activities are primarily dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our portfolio, the collectability of rent and recoveries from our tenants, and the level of our operating expenses and general and administrative costs, and interest expense. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in operating income from our office portfolio due to acquisitions in 2017 and increasing rental rates and (ii) a decrease in interest expense due to lower debt balances.

(2)

Our cash flows used in investing activities is generally used to fund property acquisitions, developments and redevelopment projects, and Recurring and non-Recurring Capital Expenditures. The decrease is primarily due to a $354.0 million paid for properties acquired in 2017, partially offset by (i) an increase of $21.8 million for capital expenditures for improvements to real estate and (ii) a decrease of $36.2 million in the capital distributions received from our Funds.

(3)

Our cash flows used in financing activities are generally impacted by our borrowings and capital activities, as well as dividends and distributions paid to common stockholders and noncontrolling interests, respectively. The decrease is primarily due to (i) $188.2 million in contributions from non-controlling interests in 2017 and (ii) $277.0 million in proceeds from the issuance of common stock during 2017, partially offset by (iii) a decrease of $52.4 million in payroll taxes paid related to the exercise of stock options and (iv) a decrease of $41.1 million in net borrowings.

Critical Accounting Policies

We adopted ASUs during the period covered by this Report that changed our accounting policy for revenue recognition - see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for a discussion of recently issued and adopted accounting literature. We have not made any other changes during the period covered by this Report to our critical accounting policies disclosed in our 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and which requires us to make estimates of certain items, which affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. While we believe that our estimates are based upon reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time that they are made, some of our estimates could prove to be incorrect, and those differences could be material. Some of our estimates are subject to adjustment as we believe appropriate, based on revised estimates, and reconciliation to actual results when available.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We use derivative instruments to hedge interest rate risk related to our floating rate borrowings. However, our use of these instruments exposes us to credit risk from the potential inability of our counterparties to perform under the terms of those agreements. We attempt to minimize this credit risk by contracting with a variety of high-quality financial counterparties. See Notes 7 and 9 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our debt and derivatives. At June 30, 2018, 5.5% of our consolidated debt was unhedged floating rate debt. A fifty-basis point change in the one month USD LIBOR interest rate would result in an annual impact to our earnings (through interest expense) of $1.1 million. We calculate interest sensitivity by multiplying the amount of unhedged floating rate debt by fifty-basis points.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of June 30, 2018, the end of the period covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) at the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on the foregoing, our CEO and CFO concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2018, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
