EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2018 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, 2018, 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, 2018 were owned by certain of our executive officers and directors, certain of their affiliates and other outside investors. 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 disclosures apply 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 and Note 13—Earnings Per Share 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,” are presented together for our Company and our operating partnership.

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

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and the operating partnership are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. References to number of properties and square-feet are not covered by the auditor’s review procedures.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2018. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the 2017 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 our Peninsula Office Park property, which was sold on July 27, 2018.

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 and controlled subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the operating partnership include the accounts of the operating partnership and all wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Under the consolidation guidance, the Company first evaluates an entity using the variable interest model, then the voting model. The Company ultimately consolidates all entities that the Company controls through either majority ownership or voting rights, including all variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The Company accounts for all other unconsolidated joint ventures using the cost or equity method of accounting. In addition, the Company continually evaluates each legal entity that is not wholly owned for reconsideration based on changing circumstances.

VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have:

• the characteristics of a controlling financial interest;

• sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; and/or

• the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights.

The entity that consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and 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, 2018, 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, 2018, the operating partnership has determined that three of its joint ventures met the definition of a VIE and are consolidated:


Entity	Property	Ownership Interest
Hudson 1455 Market, L.P.	1455 Market	55.0	%
Hudson 1099 Stewart, L.P.	Hill7	55.0	%
HPP-MAC WSP, LLC	One Westside and 10850 Pico	75.0	%

On March 1, 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Macerich WSP, LLC (“Macerich”) to form HPP-MAC WSP, LLC (“HPP-MAC JV”). On August 31, 2018, Macerich contributed Westside Pavilion to the HPP-MAC JV. The Company intends to redevelop Westside Pavilion into approximately 500,000 square feet of state-of-the-art creative office space called One Westside, while maintaining approximately 95,987 square feet of retail and entertainment space at 10850 Pico. The HPP-MAC JV is held 75% by the Company and 25% by Macerich, with the Company serving as the managing member and developer. The joint venture agreement lacks substantive participating or kick-out rights and is therefore a VIE. The Company, through its subsidiaries, has the right to (i) receive benefits and absorb losses and (ii) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the joint venture and, as a result, is the primary beneficiary and consolidates the joint venture.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company has determined that its operating partnership met the definition of a VIE and is consolidated. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are related to VIEs.

On October 9, 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture with Allianz U.S. Private REIT LP (“Allianz”) to purchase the Ferry Building property located in San Francisco, California. The Company owns 55% of the joint venture. See Note 19 for details.

(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage, share and unit data)

Non-consolidated Entities

On June 16, 2016, the Company entered into a joint venture to co-originate a loan secured by land in Santa Clara, California. The assets of the joint venture consist of notes receivable. As of September 30, 2018, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of the 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. On July 10, 2018, the Company received a return of capital related to its share of the repayment of the notes receivable. The Company’s net equity investment is reflected within prepaid expenses and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represents the Company’s maximum exposure for loss. As of September 30, 2018, the net equity investment was $92 thousand. 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.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has compiled an inventory of its sources of revenues and has identified the following material revenue streams: (i) rental revenues (ii) tenant recoveries (iii) ancillary revenues (iv) guest parking revenues and (v) sale of real estate.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage, share and unit data)

Currently, rental revenues are accounted for under ASC 840, Leases. Rental revenues will be accounted for under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which the Company plans to adopt on January 1, 2019.

Currently tenant recoveries are accounted for under ASC 605, Revenue Recognition (“ASC 605”). Tenant recoveries will be accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), beginning on January 1, 2019, when the Company adopts ASC 842. Under the current ASC 842 guidance, the Company would be required to classify its tenant recoveries into lease and non-lease components. On March 28, 2018, the FASB agreed to issue an amendment to ASC 842, which, if elected, permits the Company to classify tenant recoveries as a single lease component and account for tenant recoveries with rental revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Please refer to our Update on ASC 842 implementation section below for details.

Ancillary revenues and guest parking revenues have been accounted for under ASC 606 since the Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. This standard requires the Company to recognize revenues based on a five-step model and will result in the consideration being recognized once all performance obligations are satisfied. The timing and pattern of revenue recognition as it relates to ancillary revenues and guest parking revenues have not changed from those under ASC 605.

Sale of real estate has been accounted for under ASC 610, Other Income, since the Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. This standard requires the Company to apply certain recognition and measurement principles in accordance with ASC 606 when it de-recognizes nonfinancial assets and in-substance nonfinancial assets, and the counterparty is not a customer. This is the case for the Company’s sales of real estate, and as a result the Company is required to evaluate the sales of real estate based on transfer of control. If a real estate sale contract includes ongoing involvement by the seller with the sold property, the seller must evaluate each promised good or service under the contract to determine whether it represents a performance obligation, constitutes a guarantee or prevents the transfer of control. The timing and pattern of revenue recognition might change as it relates to gains of sale of real estate if the sale includes continued involvement that represents a separate performance obligation.

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 2018:

Standard

Description

Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters

ASU 2018-09, Codification Improvements

The amendment, among other things, clarifies when excess tax benefits should be recognized for share-based compensation awards, removes inconsistent guidance in income tax accounting for business combinations, clarifies the circumstances when derivatives may be offset, and the measurement of liability or equity-classified financial instruments when an identical asset is held as an asset, and allows portfolios of financial instruments and nonfinancial instruments accounted for as derivatives to use the portfolio exception to valuation.

The Company adopted this guidance during Q2 2018 using the prospective approach. The adoption did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Non-employee Share-Based Payment Accounting

This amendment expands the scope of ASC 718 to include all share-based payment arrangements. It simplifies the accounting for share-based payments granted to non-employees for goods and services by aligning the accounting with the requirements for share-based payments granted to employees.

The Company adopted this guidance during Q2 2018 using the prospective approach. The adoption did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments— Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities

The guidance no longer allows the use of cost method of accounting for equity instruments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, and companies are now required to measure equity investments at fair value through net income. Companies are permitted to elect a measurement alternative that allows for measuring equity instruments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes, adjusted as of the date that an observable transaction takes place, rather than the report date. For equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, this guidance is adopted prospectively for all investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The guidance allows entities to use a prospective transition approach only for securities they elect to measure using the measurement alternative.

The Company adopted this guidance during Q1 2018 using the prospective approach. The Company has elected to measure our equity instruments using the measurement alternative. Please see Note 6 for details.

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 a 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.

The Company adopted this guidance during Q1 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. As a result of the adoption, the concept of ineffectiveness from an accounting perspective is eliminated. Subsequent changes in fair value for a hedging instrument that has been designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge will be recognized as a component in other comprehensive income. Additionally, the Company eliminated any previously recorded ineffectiveness with a cumulative effect adjustment. Please see Note 8 for details.

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.

The Company adopted this guidance during Q1 2018 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 non-customers, including partial sales. It also clarifies the de-recognition guidance for nonfinancial assets to conform with the new revenue recognition standard. Either a full or modified retrospective approach can be applied.

The Company adopted this guidance during Q1 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company has not had variable consideration in our sale of real estate, or partial sales of nonfinancial assets or contribution of a nonfinancial asset to form a joint venture with retained non-controlling interest. The adoption did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Issued on May 28, 2014, ASU 2014-09 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. Issued on March 17, 2016, ASU 2016-08 clarifies certain aspects of the principal-versus-agent guidance in its new revenue recognition standard related to the determination of whether an entity is a principal or agent and the determination of the nature of each specified good or service. The guidance provides for practical expedients associated with the determination of whether a significant financing component exists and the expedient for recording an immediate expense for certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer.

The Company adopted this guidance during Q1 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and is using the practical expedients associated with expensing incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer with terms of one year or less. The adoption of this ASU did not result in any changes with respect to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition. Please refer to the revenue recognition policy note above for the additional disclosures.

In August 2018, the SEC adopted a Disclosure Update and Simplification release, which outlines Regulation S-X amendments to eliminate outdated or duplicative disclosure requirements. The final rule also amends the interim financial statement requirements to require a reconciliation of changes in stockholders’ equity and capital in the notes or as a separate statements. These amendments are effective for all filings made 30 days after the amendments are published in the Federal Register, which was on October 4, 2018. The SEC announced that it would not object if the first presentation of the changes in stockholders’ equity and capital for a December 31st filer were made in the Company’s March 31, 2019 Form 10-Q. The Company plans to use the new presentation beginning in 2019.

Update on ASC 842 implementation

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, to amend the accounting guidance for leases and set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease agreement (i.e., lessees and lessors). This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2018. Issuers have two options for adoption:

• a modified retrospective approach that must be applied for leases that exist or are entered into after January 1, 2017, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the 2019 consolidated financial statements, with a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (accumulated deficit) on January 1, 2017, and restatement of the amounts presented prior to January 1, 2019.

• a modified retrospective transition method that, if the transition method is elected, must be applied for leases that existed or are entered into after January 1, 2019, the effective date of the ASU, with a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (accumulated deficit) on January 1, 2019. Additional disclosures for the periods prior to adoption would follow ASC 840 disclosure requirements.

This guidance requires all lessees to record a lease liability at lease inception, with a corresponding right-of-use asset, except for short-term leases. Lessor accounting will not be fundamentally changed.

ASC 842 provides practical expedients that allow entities to not (i) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (ii) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.

Table of Contents

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage, share and unit data)

The Company plans to adopt the standard on January 1, 2019 and expects to elect the use of practical expedients. The Company plans to elect the transition method for adoption as described above.

Lessor Accounting

For the three months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company recognized rental revenues and tenant recoveries of $166.6 million and $175.3 million, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company recognized $491.2 million and $501.4 million, respectively.

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 the Company, which is generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier and bears the associated credit risk.

ASC 842 requires companies to identify lease and non-lease components of a lease agreement. Lease components relate to the right to use the leased asset whereas 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. For lessors, the guidance provides for a practical expedient to elect a combined single lease component presentation if (i) the timing and pattern of the transfer of the combined single lease component is the same, and (ii) the related lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. The Company plans to elect the practical expedient for non-lease components that qualify to be combined under a single lease component presentation.

ASC 842 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 months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company capitalized $1.7 million and $1.8 million of indirect leasing costs, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and September 30, 2017, the Company capitalized $5.5 million and $5.0 million of indirect leasing costs, respectively. Under ASC 842, and based on our current policies and processes, these costs will be expensed as incurred.

Lessee Accounting

As of September 30, 2018, the future undiscounted minimum lease payments under the Company’s ground leases totaled $505.1 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 ultimately be recorded with respect to its ground lease agreements.

The Company has not completed its analysis of ASC 842.

ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842

The amendments in this update permit an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under ASC 842 land easements that exist or expired before the entity’s adoption of ASC 842 and that were not previously accounted for as leases under ASC 840. An entity that elects this practical expedient should apply the practical expedient consistently to all of its existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under ASC 840. Once an entity adopts ASC 842, it should apply it prospectively to all new (or modified) land easements to determine whether the arrangement should be accounted for as a lease.

The effective date and transition requirements are the same as that in Update 2016-02 (Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years.)

The Company expects to elect the transition practical expedient for land easements.

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, legal and other related costs. The fair value of any favorable/unfavorable mark-to-market adjustment of debt assumed is based on the estimated cash flow projections utilizing interest rates available for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities. The amount recorded is based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the assumed debt terms (ii) management’s estimate of fair market, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the debt.

Non-real estate investment

In September 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to receive shares of a non-public company in lieu of rental revenues and tenant recoveries. The shares were accounted for under the cost method of accounting as there was no readily determinable fair value. The investment in the shares has been accounted for under ASC 825-10, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, since the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018, at which point the Company elected the measurement alternative. This standard requires the Company to mark the investment in shares to fair value based on Level 2 inputs, whenever fair value is readily available or observable. Changes in fair value are included in the unrealized gain on non-real estate investment line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

While the Company owns 75% of the ownership interest in the joint venture, the full amount of the loan is shown. The joint venture has, in-substance, defeased the debt by purchasing U.S. Government securities, which are intended to generate cash flows to fund loan obligations through the early prepayment date of the debt. Monthly debt service includes annual debt amortization payments based on a 10-year amortization schedule with a balloon payment at maturity.

Current year activity

During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the outstanding borrowings on the unsecured revolving credit facility increased by $10.0 million, net of paydowns. The Company uses the unsecured revolving credit facility 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.

On February 1, 2018, the Company paid in full the debt secured by its Rincon Center property, which was due to mature in May 2018.

On March 13, 2018, the operating partnership entered into the amended and restated credit agreement with various financial institutions. The amended and restated credit agreement modifies the operating partnership’s unsecured revolving credit facility and its term loans as discussed under the Term Loan and Credit Facility section below.

On August 31, 2018, a trust subsidiary of the consolidated joint venture that owns One Westside and 10850 Pico purchased $149.2 million of government-backed securities and assumed $139.0 million of debt. The securities are intended to generate cash flows to fund loan obligations through the early prepayment date of the loan. This transaction does not qualify as an extinguishment of debt, since the Company will be responsible if there is a shortfall in the assets deposited into the trust. The securities are investments held to maturity and are carried at amortized cost on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 loans 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.

The following table summarizes the minimum future principal payments due (before the impact of extension options, if applicable) on the Company's debt as of September 30, 2018:

Term Loan and Credit Facility

On March 13, 2018, the operating partnership entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement (the “Amended and Restated Credit Agreement”) with various financial institutions. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement amends and restates and replaces (i) the operating partnership’s existing second amended and restated credit agreement, entered into on March 31, 2015 (the “Prior Credit Agreement”), which governed its $400.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility, $300.0 million unsecured 5-year term loan facility and $350.0 million unsecured 7-year term loan facility, and (ii) the operating partnership’s Term Loan Credit Agreement, entered into on November 17, 2015 (together with the Prior Credit Agreement, the “Existing Credit Agreements”), which governed its $75.0 million unsecured 5-year term loan facility and $125.0 million unsecured 7-year term loan facility.

The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement provides for (i) the increase of the operating partnership’s unsecured revolving credit facility to $600.0 million and the extension of the term to March 13, 2022 and (ii) term loans in amount and tenor equal to the term loans outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreements ($300.0 million term loan A maturing April 1, 2020, $350.0 million term loan B maturing April 1, 2022, $75.0 million term loan C maturing November 17, 2020 and $125.0 million term loan D maturing November 17, 2022).

Repayment Guarantees

Registered Senior Notes

The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the operating partnership’s $400.0 million registered senior notes due November 1, 2027.

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, 2018, the outstanding balance of the construction loan was $5.0 million, which results in a maximum guarantee amount for the principal under this loan of $1.0 million. The Company has the ability to draw up to $257.0 million under the construction loan, subject to lender required submissions. 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.

Other Loans

Although the rest of the operating partnership’s loans are secured and non-recourse, the operating partnership provides limited customary secured debt guarantees for items such as voluntary bankruptcy, fraud, misapplication of payments and environmental liabilities.

1. Includes interest on the Company’s debt and hedging activities.

8. Derivatives

The Company enters into derivatives 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, 2018 and December 31, 2017. These derivatives were

Table of Contents

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage, share and unit data)

designated as effective cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. There is no impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on the indebtedness.

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

The fair market value of derivatives is presented on a gross basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the Company’s derivative instruments as of September 30, 2018:


						Strike Rate Range⁽¹⁾
Underlying Debt Instrument	Number of Hedges	Notional Amount		Effective Date	Maturity Date	Low	High	Fair Value
Met Park North	1	$	64,500	August 2013	August 2020	2.16%	2.16%	$	731
Term loan A⁽²⁾	2	300,000		July 2016	April 2020	2.56%	3.06%	5,748
Term loan B⁽³⁾	2	350,000		July 2016	April 2022	2.96%	3.46%	13,267
Term loan D⁽⁴⁾	1	125,000		June 2016	November 2022	2.63%	3.13%	7,242
TOTAL	6	$	839,500					$	26,988

_____________

1. The rate is based on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio.

2. On March 13, 2018, the underlying debt instrument that was hedged was amended. Prior to the amendment, the interest rate was effectively fixed at 2.75% to 3.65%.

3. On March 13, 2018, the underlying debt instrument that was hedged was amended. Prior to the amendment, the interest rate was effectively fixed at 3.36% to 4.31%.

4. On March 13, 2018, the underlying debt instrument that was hedged was amended. Prior to the amendment, the interest rate was effectively fixed at 3.03% to 3.98%.

On January 1, 2018, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). As a result of the adoption, the Company is no longer recognizing unrealized gains or losses related to ineffective portions of its derivatives. The Company recognized a $231 thousand cumulative-effect adjustment to other comprehensive income, with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (accumulated deficit). 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 on ineffective portion of derivatives line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company reclassifies into earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. As of September 30, 2018, the Company expects $8.6 million of unrealized gain included in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months.

9. 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 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.

Table of Contents

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage, share and unit data)

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, 2018, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

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 2013. The Company has assessed its tax positions for all open years, which include 2013 to 2017, and concluded that there are no material uncertainties to be recognized.

10. Future Minimum Lease Payments

Contingent rental expense is recorded in the period in which the contingent event becomes probable. The following table summarizes rent expense for ground leases as follows:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Contingent rental expense	$	2,149	$	2,191	$	7,697	$	6,025
Minimum rental expense	$	4,344	$	2,952	$	11,817	$	9,203

The following table provides information regarding the Company’s future minimum lease payments for its ground leases (before the impact of extension options, if applicable) as of September 30, 2018:

TOTAL	$	505,077

_________________

1. 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, 2018.

On October 9, 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture with Allianz to purchase the Ferry Building property located in San Francisco, California. The land on which the Ferry Building is located is subject to long-term non-cancellable ground lease agreements. The future minimum lease payments are excluded from the table above. See Note 19 for details.

11. 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

• Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

2. Included in the accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

3. Related to our investment in shares in a non-public company. Pursuant to our adoption of ASU 2016-01 during 2018, the Company marked the investment to fair value during the second quarter of 2018. The investment was not fair valued in 2017 and was accounted for under the cost method.

Other Financial Instruments

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value, using Level 1 inputs, because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Fair value for investment in securities are estimates based on Level 1 inputs. Fair values for debt are estimates based on rates currently prevailing for similar instruments of similar maturities using Level 2 inputs.

The table below represents the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s investment in securities and debt as of:


	September 30, 2018						December 31, 2017

2. The $400.0 million registered senior notes were issued at a discount. The discount, net of amortization, was $667 thousand and $722 thousand at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and is included within unsecured debt.

The One Westside and 10850 Pico acquisition included the assumption of debt which was, in-substance, defeased through the purchase of government-backed securities. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had $42 thousand of gross unrealized gains and $28 thousand of gross unrealized losses. The following table summarizes the carrying value and fair value of our securities by the contractual maturity date:

12. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has various stock compensation arrangements, which are more fully described in the 2017 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

Table of Contents

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage, share and unit data)

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 (the “Compensation Committee”) 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 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. OPP Plan awards granted are settled in common stock and in the case of certain executives, in performance units in our operating partnership. 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. Commencing with the 2017 OPP Plan, the two-year post-performance vesting period was replaced with a two-year mandatory holding period upon vesting. In February 2018, the Compensation Committee adopted the 2018 OPP Plan. The 2018 OPP Plan is substantially similar to the 2017 OPP Plans except for (i) the performance period beginning on January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2020, (ii) the maximum bonus pool is $25.0 million, (iii) the relative comparison index is the SNL US Office REIT index, (iv) the absolute TSR hurdle will be 21% (or 7% per annum) and (v) adjusted the sliding scale low return factor so that relative TSR pool can only be reduced by 75% under this feature.

The per unit fair value of the grants from the 2018 OPP Plan was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions in the Monte Carlo valuation:


			Assumption

14. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

Redeemable preferred units of the operating partnership

As of December 31, 2017, there were 407,066 series A preferred units of partnership interest in the operating partnership, or series A preferred units, which are not owned by the Company. On April 16, 2018, 14,468 series A preferred units of partnership interest were redeemed for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption.

These series A preferred units are entitled to preferential distributions at a rate of 6.25% per annum on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit and became convertible at the option of the holder into common units or redeemable into cash or, at the Company’s election, exchangeable for registered shares of common stock after June 29, 2013. For a description of the conversion and redemption rights of the series A preferred units, please see “Description of the Partnership Agreement of Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.—Material Terms of Our Series A Preferred Units” in the Company’s June 23, 2010 Prospectus.

Redeemable non-controlling interest in consolidated real estate entity

The Company has a 75% interest in the joint venture that owns the One Westside and 10850 Pico properties. The Company has a put right, after a specified time, to sell its interest at fair market value. Macerich has a put right, after a specified time, to sell its interest at fair market value, which is a redemption right that is not solely within the control of the Company. The put right is not currently redeemable. Therefore, the non-controlling interest related to this joint venture is included as temporary equity. Once the redemption is probable, the carrying amount will be marked to market with the change in value reflected in additional paid-in capital.

15. Equity

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.

The following table summarizes the ownership of common units, excluding unvested restricted units as of:


	September 30, 2018		December 31, 2017
Company-owned common units in the operating partnership	155,649,125		155,602,508

_________________

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

Performance units in the operating partnership

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.

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;

Table of Contents

• 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;

• the impact of changes in the tax laws as a result of recent federal tax reform legislation and uncertainty as to how some of those changes may be applied;

• 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. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2018 to the three months ended September 30, 2017

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 operating income, 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 operating income. 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 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, 2017 and still owned and included in the stabilized portfolio as of September 30, 2018;

• Non-same-store properties, which includes held for sale properties, development projects, redevelopment properties and lease-up properties as of September 30, 2018 and other properties not owned or not in operation from July 1, 2017 through September 30, 2018.

NOI decreased $7.4 million, or 6.2%, for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017, primarily resulting from a:

• $2.3 million, or 3.2%, increase in NOI from our same-store office properties resulting primarily from an increase in rental revenues relating to leases signed at our Rincon Center (Google LLC) property at a higher rate than expiring leases, partially offset by lease expirations at our Foothill Research Center (Robert Bosch GmbH) property. In addition, the increase in NOI was partially offset by an increase in office operating expenses primarily due to ground rent expense at our 3400 Hillview property. Parking and other revenues increased primarily due to our ICON property.

• $11.3 million, or 27.4%, decrease in NOI from our non-same-store office properties resulting primarily from our Campus Center property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project after an early termination (Cisco Systems Inc.), and the sale of our Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017), Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018), 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties. The decrease was partially offset by the commencement of leases at our CUE (Netflix, Inc.), Hill7 (WeWork Companies Inc.), 450 Alaskan (Saltchuk) and Metro Center (Qualys, Inc.) properties.

• $0.9 million, or 12.6%, increase in NOI from our same-store studio properties resulting primarily from an increase in rental revenues, increase in other property-related revenues and decrease in operating expenses. The increase was primarily a result of overall increase in rental rates and production activity.

• $0.6 million, or 100.0%, increase in NOI from our non-same-store studio properties resulting from our acquisition of 6605 Eleanor Avenue and 1034 Seward Street in June 2018.

Office NOI

Same-store

Same-store office rental revenues increased $1.8 million, or 2.1%, to $87.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $85.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to leases signed at our Rincon Center (Google LLC) property at a higher rate than expiring leases, partially offset by lease expirations at our Foothill Research Center (Robert Bosch GmbH) property.

Same-store office tenant recoveries of $18.2 million for three months ended September 30, 2018 remained relatively flat as compared to $17.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Same-store office parking and other revenues increased $1.0 million, or 26.2%, to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $4.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to an increase in parking revenues at our ICON property.

Same-store office operating expenses increased $1.4 million, or 4.0%, to $36.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $34.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to ground rent expense at our 3400 Hillview property.

Non-same-store

Non-same-store office rental revenues decreased by $11.0 million, or 20.5%, to $42.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $53.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to our Campus Center property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project after an early termination (Cisco Systems Inc.), and the sale of our Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017), Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018), 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties. The decrease was partially offset by the commencement of leases at our CUE (Netflix, Inc.) and 450 Alaskan (Saltchuk) properties.

Non-same-store office tenant recoveries decreased $1.2 million, or 16.1%, to $6.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $7.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to our Campus Center property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project, and the sale of our Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017), Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018), 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties. The decrease was partially offset by the commencement of leases at our Hill7 (WeWork Companies Inc.), 450 Alaskan (Saltchuk) and Metro Center (Qualys, Inc.) properties.

Non-same-store office parking and other revenues decreased $2.2 million, or 54.1%, to $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to our Campus Center property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project after an early termination (Cisco Systems Inc.), and the sale of our Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017) property.

Non-same-store office operating expenses decreased by $3.2 million, or 13.1%, to $21.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $24.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to our Campus Center property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project, and the sale of our Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017), Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018), 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties. The decrease was partially offset by recently completed developments.

Studio NOI

Same-store

Same-store studio revenues of $18.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 remained relatively flat as compared to $17.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily attributable to an

Table of Contents

increase in rental revenues, increase in other property-related revenues and decrease in operating expenses. The increase was primarily a result of overall increase in rental rates and production activity.

Same-store studio operating expenses of $10.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 remained relatively flat as compared to $10.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017.

Non-same-store

Non-same-store studio revenues were $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. Non-same-store studio operating expenses were $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. We acquired 6605 Eleanor Avenue and 1034 Seward Street in June 2018, which caused the increase in revenues and expenses.

Other Expenses (Income)

Interest expense decreased $2.3 million, or 10.4%, to $20.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $22.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. We had total debt of $2.49 billion at September 30, 2018 compared to total debt of $2.66 billion at September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower debt outstanding due to debt relief associated with the sale of our Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II properties (November 2017) and repayment of debt relating to our Rincon Center property (February 2018), a public offering of $400.0 million registered senior notes at higher interest rates than debt paid down with the net proceeds from the offering (October 2017) and an amended and restated credit agreement (March 2018) which resulted in reduced interest rates. Additionally, capitalized interest increased primarily due to the Campus Center and Maxwell redevelopment properties and EPIC development property, partially offset by recently completed development properties. The increases were partially offset by assumed in-substance defeased debt (August 2018).

Other income decreased $1.4 million, or 98.2%, to $25 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease is primarily due to the repayment of notes receivable in July 2018 relating to a joint venture to co-originate a loan secured by land in Santa Clara, California.

We generated no gains on sale of real estate for three months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $3.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 which resulted from the sale of our Peninsula Office Park property in July 2018.

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 $1.3 million, or 9.7%, to $14.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The change was primarily attributable to an increase in office expenses, adoption of the 2018 Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Outperformance Program and an increase in staffing to meet operational needs.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $8.9 million, or 12.6%, to $62.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $71.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily related to the sale of our Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017), Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2600 Campus Drive (January 2018), 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018), 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties. The remaining decrease is associated with our Campus Center property, which was taken off-line for redevelopment. The decrease was partially offset by recently completed development properties.

NOI decreased $14.6 million, or 4.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily resulting from a:

• $3.4 million, or 1.7%, increase in NOI from our same-store office properties resulting primarily from an increase in rental revenues relating to leases signed at our Rincon Center (Google LLC), 875 Howard Street (Glu Mobile Inc. and Snap Inc.) and 901 Market (DoorDash) properties at a higher rate than expiring leases, partially offset by lease expirations at our Foothill Research Center (Robert Bosch GmbH) property. Tenant recoveries and office operating expenses increased primarily due to property tax adjustments recorded in 2017 for our Rincon Center property. Office operating expenses increased due to ground rent expense at our 3400 Hillview property. Parking and other revenues increased primarily due to lease termination fees related to our Concourse property.

• $24.7 million, or 18.3%, decrease in NOI from our non-same-store office properties resulting primarily from our Campus Center property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project after an early termination (Cisco Systems Inc.), and the sale of our 222 Kearny (February 2017), Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017), Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018), 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties. The decrease was partially offset by the commencement of leases at our ICON (Netflix, Inc.), CUE (Netflix, Inc.), 450 Alaskan (Saltchuk), 604 Arizona (ZipRecruiter, Inc.) and Hill7 (WeWork Companies Inc.) properties and an increase in rental revenues relating to leases signed at our Palo Alto Square (Covington & Burling) property at a higher rate than expiring leases.

• $2.4 million, or 15.6%, increase in NOI from our same-store studio properties resulting primarily from an increase in rental revenues and a decrease in operating expenses. The increase was primarily a result of an increase in rental rates at our Sunset Gower Studios property and the decrease in operating expenses was due to a decrease in repairs and maintenance expense.

Table of Contents

• $4.2 million, or 172.0%, increase in NOI from our non-same-store studio properties resulting from the acquisition of Sunset Las Palmas Studios in May 2017 and 6605 Eleanor Avenue and 1034 Seward Street in June 2018.

Office NOI

Same-store

Same-store office rental revenues increased $8.6 million, or 3.7%, to $239.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $230.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The increase was primarily due to leases signed at our Rincon Center (Google LLC), 875 Howard Street (Glu Mobile Inc. and Snap Inc.) and 901 Market (DoorDash) properties at a higher rate than expiring leases, partially offset by lease expirations at our Foothill Research Center (Robert Bosch GmbH) property.

The increase was primarily due to property tax adjustments recorded in 2017 for our Rincon Center property.

Same-store office parking and other revenues increased $1.4 million, or 14.3%, to $11.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $9.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

The increase was primarily due to property tax adjustments recorded in 2017 for our Rincon Center property and increase in ground rent expense at our 3400 Hillview property.

Non-same-store

Non-same-store office rental revenues decreased by $25.0 million, or 14.3%, to $150.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $175.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to our Campus Center property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project after an early termination (Cisco Systems Inc.), and the sale of our 222 Kearny (February 2017), Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017), Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018), 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties. The decrease was partially offset by the commencement of leases at our ICON (Netflix, Inc.), CUE (Netflix, Inc.), 450 Alaskan (Saltchuk), Hill7 (WeWork Companies Inc.) and 604 Arizona (ZipRecruiter, Inc.) properties and an increase in rental revenues relating to leases signed at our Palo Alto Square (Covington & Burling) property at a higher rate than expiring leases.

Non-same-store office tenant recoveries decreased $2.8 million, or 13.2%, to $18.6 million for nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $21.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to our Campus Center property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project, and the sale of our 222 Kearny (February 2017), Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017), Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018), 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties. The decrease was partially offset by the commencement of leases at our ICON (Netflix, Inc.), 450 Alaskan (Saltchuk) and Hill7 (WeWork Companies Inc.) properties.

Non-same-store office parking and other revenues decreased $4.3 million, or 34.8%, to $8.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $12.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to our Campus Center property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project after an early termination (Cisco Systems Inc.), and the sale of our 222 Kearny (February 2017), Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017) and 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) properties. The decrease was partially offset by the commencement of Netflix, Inc.’s leases at our ICON and CUE properties.

Non-same-store office operating expenses decreased by $7.5 million, or 10.1%, to $66.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $74.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was

Table of Contents

primarily due to our Campus Center property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project, and the sale of our 222 Kearny (February 2017), Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017), Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018), 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties, partially offset by recently completed developments.

Studio NOI

Same-store

Same-store studio revenues increased by $1.5 million, or 4.2%, to $36.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to $35.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The activity was primarily related to a $1.3 million increase in rental revenue to $23.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to $22.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as a result of higher rental rates at our Sunset Gower Studios property. Tenant recoveries of $0.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 remained relatively flat as compared to $0.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Other property-related revenues of $11.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 remained relatively flat as compared to $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Same-store studio operating expenses decreased by $1.0 million, 5.0%, to $18.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $19.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in repairs and maintenance expense.

Non-same-store

Non-same-store studio revenues were $16.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Non-same-store studio operating expenses were $10.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. We acquired Sunset Las Palmas Studios in May 2017 and 6605 Eleanor Avenue and 1034 Seward Street in June 2018, which caused the increase in revenues and expenses.

Other Expenses (Income)

Interest expense decreased $6.1 million, or 9.3%, to $60.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $66.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We had total debt of $2.49 billion at September 30, 2018 compared to total debt of $2.66 billion at September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower debt outstanding due to debt relief associated with the sale of our Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II properties (November 2017) and repayment of debt relating to our Rincon Center property (February 2018), a public offering of $400.0 million registered senior notes at higher interest rates than debt paid down with the net proceeds from the offering (October 2017) and an amended and restated credit agreement (March 2018) which resulted in reduced interest rates. Additionally, capitalized interest increased primarily due to the Campus Center and Maxwell redevelopment properties and EPIC development property, partially offset by recently completed development properties. The increases were partially offset by assumed in-substance defeased debt (August 2018).

Other income decreased $1.9 million, or 71.8%, to $748 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $2.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease is primarily due to the repayment of notes receivable in July 2018 relating to a joint venture to co-originate a loan secured by land in Santa Clara, California.

We recognized $43.3 million gains on sale of real estate for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $16.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. We completed the sale of Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2600 Campus Drive (January 2018), 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018), 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties in 2018 and completed the sale of our 222 Kearny (February 2017) and 3402 Pico (March 2017) properties in 2017.

Table of Contents

2017. The change was primarily attributable to the adoption of the 2018 Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Outperformance Program, an increase in staffing to meet operational needs and an increase in travel and entertainment and shareholder relations costs driven by our 2018 investor day event.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $33.9 million, or 15.6%, to $183.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $217.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease was primarily related to the sale of our 222 Kearny (February 2017), Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017), Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2600 Campus Drive (January 2018), 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018), 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties. The remaining decrease is associated with our Campus Center property, which was taken off-line for redevelopment. The decrease was partially offset by increases in depreciation associated with the acquisition of Sunset Las Palmas Studios in May 2017 and recently completed development properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have remained capitalized since our initial public offering through public offerings, private placements and continuous offerings under our at-the-market (“ATM”) program. We currently expect that our principal sources of funds to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements for working capital, strategic acquisitions, capital expenditures, tenant improvements, leasing costs, dividends and distributions, and repayments of outstanding debt financing will include:

• Cash on hand, cash reserves and net cash provided by operations;

• Proceeds from additional equity securities;

• Our ATM program;

• Borrowings under the operating partnership’s unsecured revolving credit facility; and

• Proceeds from additional secured, unsecured debt financings, construction loans or offerings.

Liquidity Sources

We had $52.5 million of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2018. Our principal source of operating cash flow is related to leasing and operating the properties in our portfolio. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, debt service and fund quarterly dividend and distribution requirements.

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.

We have an ATM program that allows us to sell up to $125.0 million of common stock, $20.1 million of which has been sold through September 30, 2018. Any future sales will depend on several factors, including, but not limited to, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and our capital needs. We have no obligation to sell the remaining shares available for sale under this program.

As of September 30, 2018, we had total borrowing capacity of $600.0 million under our unsecured revolving credit facility, $110.0 million of which had been drawn. As of September 30, 2018, we had total borrowing capacity, subject to lender required submissions, of $257.0 million under our construction loan secured by our Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios properties, $5.0 million of which had been drawn.

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. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase.

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $41.7 million, or 17.4%, to $197.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to $239.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The change resulted primarily from a decrease in cash NOI, as defined, from our office and studio properties, driven by lower cash rents due to the sale of our 222 Kearny (February 2017), Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017), Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018), 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties and redevelopment at our

Table of Contents

Campus Center property. The decrease was partially offset by higher cash NOI related to the commencement of Netflix, Inc.’s lease at our ICON and CUE properties, our 450 Alaskan (Saltchuk) development project and Sunset Las Palmas Studios.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $327.2 million, or 85.1%, to $57.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $384.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease resulted primarily from an increase in proceeds from sales of real estate properties and reduction in cash used to acquire real estate, partially offset by payments for U.S. Government securities, an increase in cash used for additions to investment in real estate and an increase in cash used for deposits for future real estate acquisitions.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased by $328.9 million, or 219.0%, to $178.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $150.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The change resulted primarily from a reduction in proceeds from sale of common stock and increase in paydowns of debt, partially offset by repurchases of common units in our operating partnership that occurred in 2017 and increase in proceeds from debt.

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 an acquired property among land, buildings, improvements, 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 2017 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

Table of Contents

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.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to FFO:


	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2018		2017		2018		2017
Net income	$	20,270	$	14,510	$	92,524	$	45,617
Adjustments:

Gains on sale of real estate	(3,735)		—		(43,337)		(16,866)
