Forward Looking Statements



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

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

•
adverse economic or real estate developments in Southern California and Honolulu, Hawaii;
•
a general downturn in the economy, such as the global financial crisis that commenced in 2008;
•
decreased rental rates or increased tenant incentive and vacancy rates;
•
defaults on, early termination of, or non-renewal of leases by tenants;
•
increased interest rates and operating costs;
•
failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness;
•
difficulties in raising capital for our unconsolidated Funds;
•
difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions;
•
failure to successfully operate acquired properties;
•
failure to maintain our status as a REIT under federal tax laws;
•
possible adverse changes in rent control laws and regulations;
•
environmental uncertainties;
•
risks related to natural disasters;
•
lack or insufficient amount of insurance, or changes to the cost of maintaining existing insurance coverage;
•
inability to successfully expand into new markets and submarkets;
•
risks associated with property development;
•
conflicts of interest with our officers;
•
changes in real estate zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates;
•
the negative results of litigation or governmental proceedings;
•
the consequences of any possible future terrorist attacks or wars; and
•
the consequences of any possible future cyber attacks or intrusions.

For further discussion of the above risk factors, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

This Report and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section.  We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report.

1. Overview

Organization and Business Description

Douglas Emmett, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT. We are one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. We focus on owning, acquiring, developing and managing a substantial share of top-tier office properties and premier multifamily communities in neighborhoods that possess significant supply constraints, high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities.

Through our interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, our consolidated joint ventures and our unconsolidated Funds, we own or partially own, acquire, develop and manage real estate, consisting primarily of office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii.

As of June 30, 2016, we owned a consolidated portfolio of (i) fifty-eight office properties (including ancillary retail space), which included five office properties owned by our consolidated joint ventures, (ii) ten multifamily properties and (iii) fee interests in two parcels of land subject to ground leases from which we earn ground rent income. Alongside our consolidated portfolio, we also manage and own equity interests in our unconsolidated Funds, which at June 30, 2016, owned eight additional office properties, for a combined sixty-six office properties in our total portfolio. See Note 17 regarding the class A multi-tenant office property that we acquired in July, 2016.

The terms "us," "we" and "our" as used in these financial statements refer to Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements are the consolidated financial statements of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership and our consolidated joint ventures.  All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2016, our consolidated financial statements included one consolidated VIE in which we were deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The VIE was established in the first quarter of 2016 in connection with the acquisition of the Westwood Portfolio. As of June 30, 2016, the impact of consolidating the VIE increased the Company’s total assets, liabilities and equity by $1.42 billion (of which $1.37 billion related to real estate held for investment), $631.6 million and $789.1 million (of which $550.3 million related to the noncontrolling interests equity), respectively. See Note 3.

As of June 30, 2016, the carrying value of a property which we had agreed to sell was classified as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets, and the carrying value in the comparable period has been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading. The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2016. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the notes thereto. Any references in this report to the number of properties, square footage, per square footage amounts, apartment units and geography, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements, in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

During the period covered by this Report, we have not made any material changes to our significant accounting policies included in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

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

Income Taxes

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

New Accounting Pronouncements 

Changes to GAAP are established by the FASB in the form of ASUs.  We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01, "Income Statement—Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20)", which eliminates the concept of extraordinary items from GAAP. The Board is issuing this Update as part of its initiative to reduce complexity in accounting standards (the Simplification Initiative). The objective of the Simplification Initiative is to identify, evaluate, and improve areas of GAAP for which cost and complexity can be reduced while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to the users of financial statements. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which for us is the first quarter of 2016. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2016 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, "Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (Consolidation - Topic 810)", which provides guidance regarding the consolidation of certain legal entities. All legal entities are subject to reevaluation under the revised consolidation model. The amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which for us is the first quarter of 2016. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2016 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16, "Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments", which amends "Business Combinations" (Topic 805). The ASU requires that an acquirer (i) recognize adjustments to provisional amounts from business combinations that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, (ii) record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date and (iii) disclosure of the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which for us is the first quarter of 2016. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2016 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-05, "Effect of Derivative Contract Novations on Existing Hedge Accounting Relationships", which amends "Derivatives and Hedging" (Topic 815). The ASU provides guidance on the effect of derivative contract novations on existing hedge accounting relationships. The ASU clarifies that a change in the counterparty to a derivative instrument that has been designated as the hedging instrument under Topic 815, does not in and of itself require dedesignation of that hedging relationship provided that all other hedge accounting criteria continue to be met. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2017, and early adoption is permitted. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2016 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" (Topic 842). The ASU increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. To meet that objective, the FASB has created Topic 842. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged from that applied under previous GAAP. For example, the vast majority of operating leases will remain classified as operating leases, and lessors will continue to recognize lease income for those leases on a generally straight-line basis over the lease term. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2019, and early adoption is permitted. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach includes a number of optional practical expedients that entities may elect to apply. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, "Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)" which amends "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606). The ASU clarifies the guidance for principal versus agent considerations. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2018, and early adoption is permitted commencing the first quarter of 2017. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, "Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing" which amends "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606). The ASU provides guidance for identifying performance obligations and licensing. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2018, and early adoption is permitted commencing the first quarter of 2017. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, "Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients" which amends "Revenue from Contracts with Customers" (Topic 606). The ASU provides guidance for a variety of revenue recognition related topics. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2018, and early adoption is permitted commencing the first quarter of 2017. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments" which amends "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses" (Topic 326). The ASU provides guidance for measuring credit losses on financial instruments. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years, which for us would be the first quarter of 2020, and early adoption is permitted commencing the first quarter of 2019. The amendments in this Update should be applied retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of this ASU.

The FASB has not issued any other ASUs during 2016 that we expect to be applicable and have a material impact on our future financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

2016 Acquisitions

Westwood Portfolio Acquisition

On February 29, 2016 (Acquisition Date), a consolidated joint venture which we manage and own an equity interest in, acquired four class A multi-tenant office properties located in Westwood, California (Westwood Portfolio) for a contract price of $1.34 billion or approximately $777 per square foot. As of the Acquisition Date, we had contributed sixty-percent of the equity to the joint venture, but subsequently reduced that investment to thirty-percent on May 31, 2016 (Sell Down Date) when we sold half of our ownership interest to a third party investor. The results of operations for the acquisition are included in our consolidated statements of operations after the Acquisition Date. The table below (in thousands) summarizes our preliminary purchase accounting and funding sources for the acquisition (the purchase accounting is subject to adjustment within twelve months of the acquisition date):

Reflects our sale of thirty-percent of the equity in the joint venture on the Sell Down Date, presented as of the Acquisition Date, treated as in-substance real estate, which reduced our ownership interest in the joint venture to thirty-percent. We sold the interest for the $240.0 million we contributed plus an additional $1.1 million to compensate for our costs of holding the investment. We recognized a gain on the sale of $1.1 million. We used the proceeds from the sale to pay down the balance owed on our revolving credit facility.

Interest on the loan is floating at LIBOR plus 1.40%, which has been effectively fixed at 2.37% per annum for five years through interest rate swaps. The deferred loan costs will be amortized over the seven-year loan term. Deferred loan costs are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of our secured notes payable and revolving credit facility.

5. Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Funds

Description of our Funds

We manage and own equity interests in two unconsolidated Funds, Fund X and Partnership X, through which we and investors own eight office properties totaling 1.8 million square feet.  At June 30, 2016, we held equity interests of 68.61% of Fund X and 24.25% of Partnership X. Our Funds pay us fees and reimburse us for certain expenses related to property management and other services we provide to the Funds. We also receive distributions based on invested capital and on any profits that exceed certain specified cash returns to the investors. The table below presents (in thousands) cash distributions received from our Funds:

Notes receivable

In April 2013, we loaned $2.9 million to a related party investor in connection with a capital call made by Fund X, and in November 2015, we loaned $0.5 million to Partnership X to fund working capital. Both loans carried interest at LIBOR plus 2.5% per annum and were repaid in full during the first quarter of 2016. The outstanding balance of the Fund X and Partnership X loans at December 31, 2015 of $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, were included in our investment in our unconsolidated funds in our consolidated balance sheet. The interest income recognized on these notes receivable was included in other income in our consolidated statements of operations.

At June 30, 2016, the weighted average remaining life, including extension options, of our total consolidated term debt (excluding our revolving credit facility) was 4.8 years. For the $4.13 billion of term debt on which the interest rate was fixed under the terms of the loan or a swap, the weighted average (i) remaining life was 4.8 years, (ii) remaining period during which the interest rate was fixed was 3.0 years, (iii) annual interest rate was 3.31% and (iv) effective interest rate was 3.46% (including the non-cash amortization of deferred loan costs). Except as otherwise noted below, each loan (including our revolving credit facility) is secured by a one or more separate collateral pools consisting of one or more properties, requiring monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal due upon maturity. Maturity dates include the effect of extension options.  The following table summarizes (in thousands) our fixed and floating rate debt:

9. Derivative Contracts

Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

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

Accounting for Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

When we enter into derivative agreements, we generally elect to have them designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. For hedging instruments designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value of the hedging instrument are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI), which is a component of equity outside of earnings, and any hedge ineffectiveness is recorded as interest expense. Amounts recorded in AOCI related to our designated hedges are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the hedged floating-rate debt. Amounts reported in AOCI related to our unconsolidated Funds' hedges are reclassified to income, including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds, as interest payments are made by our Funds on their hedged floating-rate debt. For hedging instruments which are not designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value of the hedging instrument are recorded as interest expense. We present our derivatives, including the derivatives of our consolidated joint ventures, on our consolidated balance sheet at fair value on a gross basis. Our share of the AOCI related to our unconsolidated Funds' derivatives is included in our investment in unconsolidated real estate funds on our consolidated balance sheet.

Summary of our derivatives

As of June 30, 2016, all of our interest rate swaps, including our unconsolidated Funds' interest rate swaps, were designated as cash flow hedges:

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

We have agreements with each of our interest rate swap counterparties that contain a provision under which we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations if we default on the underlying indebtedness that we are hedging. As of June 30, 2016, there have been no events of default with respect to our interest rate swaps or our unconsolidated Funds' interest rate swaps. The fair value of our interest rate swaps in a liability position were as follows (in thousands):

Equity Transactions

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we (i) acquired 869 thousand OP Units in exchange for issuing to the holders of the OP Units an equal number of shares of our common stock, (ii) acquired 25 thousand OP Units for $826 thousand in cash, at an average price of $33.05 per OP Unit, (iii) issued 1.4 million shares of our common stock for the exercise of 7.5 million stock options on a net settlement basis (net of the exercise price and related taxes), and (iv) sold a thirty-percent ownership interest in the joint venture that acquired the Westwood Portfolio to an investor for $241.1 million, which reduced our ownership interest in the joint venture from sixty-percent to thirty-percent.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015, we (i) acquired 1.3 million OP Units in exchange for issuing to the holders of the OP Units an equal number of shares of our common stock and (ii) issued 136 thousand shares of our common stock for the exercise of options for net proceeds of $1.8 million at an average price of $13.44 per share.

Noncontrolling Interests

Our noncontrolling interests consist of (i) interests in our Operating Partnership which are not owned by us, (ii) interests owned by institutional investors in the consolidated joint venture that owns the Westwood Portfolio (see Note 3) (amounting to seventy-percent of the capital interests as of June 30, 2016) and (iii) a joint venture investor that owns a one-third interest in a consolidated joint venture which owns an office building in Honolulu, Hawaii. Noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership consist of OP Units and fully-vested LTIP Units and represented approximately 15% of our Operating Partnership's total interests as of June 30, 2016 when we and our Operating Partnership had 149.2 million shares of common stock and 25.8 million OP Units and fully-vested LTIP Units outstanding, respectively. A share of our common stock, an OP Unit and an LTIP Unit (once vested and booked up) have essentially the same economic characteristics, sharing equally in the distributions from our Operating Partnership.  Investors who own OP Units have the right to cause our Operating Partnership to redeem their OP Units for an amount of cash per unit equal to the market value of one share of our common stock at the date of redemption, or, at our election, exchange their OP Units for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. LTIP Units have been granted to our employees and non-employee directors as part of their compensation. These awards generally vest over a service period and once vested can generally be converted to OP Units.

Equity Compensation

On June 2, 2016, the Douglas Emmett, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan became effective after receiving stockholder approval, superseding our prior plan, the Douglas Emmett, Inc. 2006 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan. The key terms of the two plans are substantially identical, except for the date of expiration, the number of shares authorized for grants and various technical provisions. Our officers, employees, directors and consultants are eligible to participate in both plans, with grants awarded during June 2016 and onwards awarded under the 2016 Plan, and grants awarded prior to that date awarded under the 2006 Plan and remain outstanding according to their terms. Both plans are administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors.  Total net stock-based compensation expense was $2.4 million and $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $4.7 million and $3.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. These amounts are net of capitalized stock-based compensation of $231 thousand and $210 thousand for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $448 thousand and $402 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $100.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, and $101.9 million and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

11. EPS

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

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our estimates of the fair value of financial instruments were determined using available market information and widely used valuation methods.  Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and determine an estimated fair value.  The use of different market assumptions or valuation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair values. The FASB fair value framework hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity, and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market-based inputs.  The hierarchy is as follows:
 
Level 1 - inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.  
Level 2 - inputs are observable either directly or indirectly for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.  
Level 3 - inputs are unobservable assumptions generated by the reporting entity

As of June 30, 2016, we did not have any fair value measurements of financial instruments using Level 3 inputs.

Financial instruments disclosed at fair value

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

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

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

13. Segment Reporting

Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our management reviews information for operational decision-making purposes.  We operate in two business segments: (i) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of office real estate and (ii) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily real estate.  The services for our office segment primarily include rental of office space and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental.  The services for our multifamily segment include rental of apartments and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. Asset information by segment is not reported because we do not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources.  Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments.  General and administrative expenses and interest expense are not included in segment profit as our internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level. Segment profit is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP, it is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.  Not all companies may calculate segment profit in the same manner.  We consider segment profit to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it can assist both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our properties. The table below presents (in thousands) the operating activity of our reportable segments:

14. Future Minimum Lease Rental Receipts

We lease space to tenants primarily under non-cancelable operating leases that generally contain provisions for a base rent plus reimbursement for certain operating expenses, and we own fee interests in two parcels of land subject to ground leases from which we earn ground rent income.

16. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

Legal Proceedings

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

Concentration of Risk

We are subject to credit risk with respect to our tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables related to our tenant leases. Our tenants' ability to honor the terms of their respective leases remains dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors. We seek to minimize our credit risk from our tenant leases by (i) targeting smaller, more affluent tenants, from a diverse mix of industries, (ii) performing credit evaluations of prospective tenants and (iii) obtaining security deposits from our tenants.  For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, no tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues.  

All of our properties (including the properties owned by our unconsolidated Funds) are located in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii, and we are dependent on the Southern California and Honolulu economies. Therefore, we are susceptible to adverse local conditions and regulations, as well as natural disasters in those areas.

We are also subject to credit risk from the counterparties on our interest rate swap and interest rate cap contracts that we use to manage the risk associated with our floating rate debt. See Note 9 for the details of our interest rate contracts. We seek to
minimize our credit risk by entering into agreements with a variety of high quality counterparties with investment grade ratings.

We maintain our cash and cash equivalents at high quality financial institutions with investment grade ratings.  Interest bearing accounts at each U.S. banking institution are insured by the FDIC up to $250 thousand.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Conditional asset retirement obligations represent a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within our control.  A liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation must be recorded if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated.  Environmental site assessments and investigations have identified twenty-five properties in our consolidated portfolio and four properties owned by our unconsolidated Funds which contain asbestos, and would have to be removed in compliance with applicable environmental regulations if these properties undergo major renovations or are demolished.  As of June 30, 2016, the obligations to remove the asbestos from these properties have indeterminable settlement dates, and we are unable to reasonably estimate the fair value of the associated conditional asset retirement obligation.

Development Contracts

During the first quarter of 2016, we commenced building an additional 475 apartments (net of existing units to be removed) at our Moanalua Hillside Apartments in Honolulu, Hawaii. We expect that the construction will take approximately 18 months and cost approximately $120.0 million, which does not include the cost of the land which we already owned before beginning the project. As of June 30, 2016, we had a remaining commitment of $114.2 million for a contract directly related to this development project. We also plan to upgrade existing units and improve certain common areas, and as of June 30, 2016, we had a remaining commitment of $1.8 million for a contract directly related to these upgrades and improvements.

Guarantees

We made certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve- outs for loans related to both of our unconsolidated Funds. We have also guaranteed the related swaps. The entities have agreed to indemnify us for any amounts that we would be required to pay under these agreements. As of June 30, 2016, all obligations under these loans and swap agreements have been performed in accordance with the terms of those agreements.

Floating rate term loan, swapped to fixed, which is secured by six properties and requires monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal due upon maturity. As of June 30, 2016, assuming a zero-percent LIBOR interest rate during the remaining life of the swap, the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were $1.7 million.

Floating rate term loan, swapped to fixed, which is secured by two properties and requires monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal due upon maturity. As of June 30, 2016, assuming a zero-percent LIBOR interest rate during the remaining life of the swap, the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were $4.7 million.

17. Subsequent events

On July 21, 2016, a new joint venture, which we manage and in which we expect to retain a twenty to thirty-percent equity interest, purchased a 365,000 square foot class A multi-tenant office property in Brentwood, Los Angeles, for $225 million, or $616 per square foot. The new joint venture paid a portion of the purchase price with a three year, interest only$90.0 million non-recourse loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.55% which is secured by that office property.

During July, 2016, we sold approximately 1.4 million shares of our common stock in open market transactions under our ATM program for net proceeds of $49.8 million after commissions and other expenses.

Acquisitions and Dispositions, Financings, Developments and Repositionings
 
Acquisitions and Dispositions 
 
•
During the first quarter of 2016, a consolidated joint venture which we manage and own an equity interest in, acquired four class A multi-tenant office properties located in Westwood, Los Angeles (Westwood Portfolio) for a contract price of $1.34 billion or approximately $777 per square foot. As of the Acquisition Date, we had contributed sixty-percent of the equity to the joint venture, but subsequently reduced that investment to thirty-percent on May 31, 2016 when we sold half of our ownership interest to a third party investor.
•
During the second quarter of 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell a 168,000 square foot class A office property located in Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles with a carrying value of $42.6 million for $56.7 million. We expect the transaction to close during the third quarter of 2016. The property is classified as real estate held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets.
•
On July 21, 2016, a new joint venture, which we manage and in which we expect to retain a twenty to thirty-percent equity interest, purchased a 365,000 square foot class A multi-tenant office property in Brentwood, Los Angeles, for $225 million, or approximately $616 per square foot.
See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more detail regarding our acquisitions and dispositions.

Financings  
 
•
During the first quarter of 2016, a consolidated joint venture closed a seven year, non-recourse $580.0 million interest-only term loan as part of the acquisition of the Westwood Portfolio. The loan bears interest at LIBOR + 1.40%, and has been effectively fixed at 2.37% per annum until March 2021 through an interest rate swap. The loan is secured by the Westwood Portfolio.
•
During the first quarter of 2016, one of our unconsolidated Funds closed a seven year, non-recourse $110.0 million interest-only term loan. The loan bears interest at LIBOR + 1.40%, and has been effectively fixed at 2.30% per annum until March 2021 though an interest rate swap. The loan is secured by two office properties.
•
During the second quarter of 2016, we closed a seven year, non-recourse, $360.0 million interest-only loan, which bears interest at LIBOR + 1.55%, and has been effectively fixed at 2.57% for five years. We used the proceeds to pay off a $256.1 million loan that was scheduled to mature in April 2018. The loan is secured by five office properties.
•
On July 21, 2016, the new consolidated joint venture which acquired the office property in Brentwood, Los Angeles closed a three year, interest only $90.0 million non-recourse loan bearing interest at LIBOR plus 1.55% which is secured by that office property.
•
During July 2016, we sold 1.4 million shares of our common stock in open market transactions under our ATM program for net proceeds of approximately $49.8 million, after commissions and other expenses.

See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more detail regarding our debt.

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

•
During the first quarter of 2016, we commenced building an additional 475 apartments (net of existing units to be removed) at our Moanalua Hillside Apartments in Honolulu. We expect the construction will take approximately 18 months and cost approximately $120.0 million, which does not include the cost of the land which we already owned before beginning the project. As of June 30, 2016, we had a remaining commitment of $114.2 million for a contract for this development project. We are also upgrading the existing units, and as of June 30, 2016, we had a remaining commitment of $1.8 million for a contract directly related to these upgrades.
•
In Los Angeles, we are seeking to build a high rise apartment project with 376 units. Because development in our markets, particularly West Los Angeles, remains a long and uncertain process, we do not expect to break ground in Los Angeles before late 2017, even if the entitlement process is successful. We expect the cost of the development to be approximately $120 million to $140 million.

Repositionings

    We often strategically purchase properties with large vacancies or expected near-term lease roll-over and use our knowledge of the property and submarket to reposition the property for the optimal use and tenant mix. The work we undertake to reposition a building typically takes months or even years, and could involve a range of improvements from a complete structural renovation to a targeted remodeling of selected spaces. We generally select a property for repositioning at the time we purchase it, although repositioning efforts can also occur at properties that we already own. During the repositioning, the affected property may display depressed rental revenue and occupancy levels which impacts our results and, therefore, comparisons of our performance from period to period.

In addition to our Moanalua Hillside Apartments in Honolulu, described above under "Developments", as of June 30, 2016, we were repositioning two properties: (i) a 661,000 square foot office property in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles, which included a 35,000 square foot gym, and (ii) a 79,000 square foot office property in Honolulu, Hawaii, owned by a consolidated joint venture in which we own a two-thirds interest.

Historical Results of Operations

Portfolio Overview

Our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 consisted of the rental operations of fifty-four consolidated office properties and ten consolidated multifamily properties, as well as (after the respective date of acquisition) four additional office properties (the Westwood Portfolio) that one of our consolidated joint ventures acquired on February 29, 2016.

Our results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2015 consisted of the rental operations of fifty-three consolidated office properties and ten consolidated multifamily properties, as well as (after the respective date of acquisition) one additional office property (First Financial Plaza) that we acquired on March 5, 2015.

Our share of the earnings from our unconsolidated Funds, which owned an additional eight office properties during the six months ended June 2016 and 2015, is included in income, including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds in our consolidated statements of operations.

See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more detail regarding our acquisitions, and see Note 5 for more detail regarding our unconsolidated Funds.

(1)
Because straight-line rent takes into account the full economic value of each lease, including accommodations and rent escalations, we believe that it may provide a better comparison than ending cash rents, which include the impact of the annual escalations over the entire term of the lease. However, care should be taken in any comparison, as the averages are often significantly affected from period to period by factors such as the buildings, submarkets, and types of space and terms involved in the leases executed during the respective reporting period.
(2)
Reflects the weighted average straight-line annualized base rent (i.e., excludes tenant reimbursements, parking and other revenue) per leased square foot.  For our triple net leases, annualized rent is calculated by adding estimated expense reimbursements to base rent. The decline in the average rental rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to 2015 reflects changes in the mix of submarkets in which we leased space.
(3)
Reflects the weighted average leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances divided by the weighted average number of years for the respective leases.

Office Rent Roll Up

During the six months ended June 30, 2016,

•
Straight-line rent roll up. The average straight-line rent of $42.29 per square foot under new and renewal leases that we signed during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 26.8% greater than the average straight-line rent of $33.34 per square foot on the expiring leases for the same space.  The rent roll up reflects continuing increases in average starting rental rates and more leases containing annual rent escalations in excess of 3% per annum.

•
Cash rent roll up. The average starting cash rental rate of $40.31 per square foot under new and renewal leases that we signed during the six months ended June 30, 2016 was 25.4% greater than the average starting cash rental rate of $32.14 per square foot on the expiring leases for the same space, and 10.6% greater than the average ending cash rental rate of $36.45 per square foot on those expiring leases.

Fluctuations in submarkets, buildings and term of the expiring leases make predicting the changes in rent in any specific reporting period difficult.

Reflects existing leases that are scheduled to expire, excluding leases where (i) the existing tenant has renewed the lease on or before June 30, 2016, (ii) a new tenant has executed a lease on or before June 30, 2016 that will commence after June 30, 2016, (iii) early termination options that are exercised after June 30, 2016, (iv) defaults occurring after June 30, 2016, and (v) short term leases, such as month to month leases and other short term leases. Short term leases are excluded because (a) they are not included in our changes in rental rate data, (b) have rental rates that may not be reflective of market conditions, and (c) can distort the data trends, particularly in the first quarter of the fiscal year.
(2)
Reflects annualized base rent before abatements (excludes tenant reimbursements, parking and other revenue) at expiration.  Annualized base rent for triple net leases is calculated by adding expense reimbursements to base rent.
(3)
Variations in these numbers from quarter to quarter primarily reflects the mix of buildings/submarkets involved and is also impacted by the varying terms and square footage of the individual leases involved.

Occupancy rates include the impact of property acquisitions, most of whose occupancy rates at the time of acquisition were well below that of our existing portfolio.
(2)
Average occupancy rates are calculated by averaging the occupancy rates on the first and last day of a quarter, and for periods longer than a quarter, by averaging the occupancy rates at the end of each of the quarters in the period and at the end of the quarter immediately prior to the start of the period.

Comparison of three months ended June 30, 2016 to three months ended June 30, 2015

Revenues

Office Rental Revenue:  Office rental revenue includes rental revenues from our office properties, percentage rent on the retail space contained within office properties and lease termination income.  Office rental revenue increased by $22.8 million, or 22.0%, to $126.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $103.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to rental revenues of $20.3 million from one property that we acquired in the first quarter of 2015 and the Westwood Portfolio that we acquired in the first quarter of 2016, as well as an increase in rental revenues of $2.5 million from the properties that we owned throughout both periods. The increase in rental revenue from the properties that we owned throughout both periods was primarily due to an increase in rental rates, which was partially offset by a decrease in the accretion from below-market leases of $0.9 million.

Office Tenant Recoveries:  Office tenant recoveries decreased by $477 thousand, or 4.16%, to $11.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $11.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in tenant recoveries of $1.6 million for the properties that we owned throughout both periods, partially offset by tenant recoveries of $1.2 million from properties that we acquired. The decrease in tenant recoveries from the properties that we owned throughout both periods was primarily due to lower current period recoveries as a result of lower operating expenses, as well as lower recoveries from prior period reconciliations.

Office Parking and Other Income: Office parking and other income increased by $3.9 million, or 18.3%, to $25.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $21.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due parking and other income of $2.6 million from properties that we acquired and an increase of $1.3 million in parking and other income from properties that we owned throughout both periods. The increase in parking and other income from the properties that we owned throughout both periods primarily reflects increases in rates.

Multifamily Revenue:  Total multifamily revenue consists of rent, parking income and other income.  Total multifamily revenue increased by $0.5 million, or 1.9%, to $24.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $23.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to increases in rental rates.

Operating Expenses

Office Rental Expenses:  Office rental expenses increased by $6.8 million, or 14.7%, to $53.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $46.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was due to rental expenses of $7.8 million from properties that we acquired, partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million from properties that we owned throughout both periods. The decrease from properties that we owned throughout both periods was primarily due to a decrease in utilities expense.

Multifamily Rental Expenses:  Multifamily rental expense decreased by $0.6 million, or 9.9%, to $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $5.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.  The decrease was primarily due to an excise tax refund of $0.5 million.

General and Administrative Expenses:  General and administrative expenses increased by $1.9 million, or 25.8%, to $9.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to payroll taxes of $1.4 million related to the exercise of options as well as a $0.4 million increase in equity compensation expense.

Depreciation and Amortization:  Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $11.3 million, or 22.1%, to $62.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $51.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to depreciation and amortization of $10.5 million from properties that we acquired.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses

Other Income and Other Expenses: Other income decreased by $0.3 million, or 11.3%, to $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015, and other expenses remained constant at $1.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. For the three months ended June 30, 2015, other income included $0.2 million of insurance recoveries related to repairs of damage from a fire at one of our residential properties.

Income, Including Depreciation, from Unconsolidated Real Estate Funds:  The income, including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds represents our equity interest in the operating results, net of depreciation, of our unconsolidated Funds.  Our share of the income, including depreciation, from our unconsolidated Funds increased by $0.4 million, or 36.2%, to $1.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to a decrease in real estate taxes. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our unconsolidated Funds.

Interest Expense:  Interest expense increased by $2.5 million, or 7.2%, to $37.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $35.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015.  The increase was due to interest expense of $3.9 million on the $580.0 million consolidated joint venture loan that we closed during the first quarter, partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of $1.4 million on our remaining debt as a result of refinancing at lower interest rates during 2015 and 2016. See Notes 7 and 9 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our debt and derivative contracts.

Acquisition-related Expenses: Acquisition expenses include the costs of acquisitions that we close, as well as those that we do not close. Acquisition expenses remained consistent at $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our completed acquisitions.

Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2016 to six months ended June 30, 2015

Revenues

Office Rental Revenue:  Office rental revenue increased by $33.2 million, or 16.2%, to $237.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $204.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to rental revenues of $28.7 million from one property that we acquired in the first quarter of 2015 and the Westwood Portfolio that we acquired in the first quarter of 2016, as well as an increase in rental revenues of $4.5 million for the properties that we owned throughout both periods. The increase in rental revenue from the properties that we owned throughout both periods was primarily due to an increase in rental rates, which was partially offset by a decrease in the accretion from below-market tenant leases of $1.8 million.

Office Tenant Recoveries:  Office tenant recoveries decreased by $0.4 million, or 1.9%, to $21.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $21.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.  The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in tenant recoveries of $2.1 million for the properties that we owned throughout both periods, partially offset by tenant recoveries of $1.7 million from properties that we acquired. The decrease in tenant recoveries from the properties that we owned throughout both periods was primarily due to lower current period recoveries as a result of lower operating expenses, as well as lower recoveries from prior period reconciliations.

Office Parking and Other Income: Office parking and other income increased by $6.4 million, or 15.3%, to $48.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $42.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due parking and other income of $3.9 million from properties that we acquired and an increase of $2.6 million in parking and other income from properties that we owned throughout both periods. The increase in parking and other income from the properties that we owned throughout both periods primarily reflects increases in rates.

Multifamily Revenue:  Total multifamily revenue increased by $1.3 million, or 2.7%, to $48.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $47.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to increases in rental rates.

Operating Expenses

Office Rental Expenses:  Office rental expenses increased by $10.5 million, or 11.6%, to $101.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $90.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was due to rental expenses of $11.0 million from properties that we acquired, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million from properties that we owned throughout both periods. The decrease from properties that we owned throughout both periods was primarily due to a decrease in utilities expense.

Multifamily Rental Expenses:  Multifamily rental expense decreased by $0.4 million, or 3.2%, to $11.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $11.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.  The decrease was primarily due to an excise tax refund of $0.5 million.
General and Administrative Expenses:  General and administrative expenses increased by $2.6 million, or 17.8%, to $17.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $14.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

The decrease in other income was primarily due to $6.6 million of accelerated accretion that we recognized related to an above market ground lease for which we acquired the underlying fee interest in the land in the first quarter of 2015. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding the acquisition of the fee interest.
 
Income, Including Depreciation, from Unconsolidated Real Estate Funds:  Our share of the income, including depreciation, from our unconsolidated Funds increased by $580 thousand, or 21.9%, to $3.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Consolidated FFO

Usefulness to Investors

Many investors use FFO as one performance yardstick to compare the operating performance of REITs.  FFO represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, (ii) impairments of depreciable operating property, (iii) real estate depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of deferred financing costs), and (iv) the same adjustments for unconsolidated funds and consolidated joint ventures.  

We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by NAREIT. Like any metric, FFO has limitations as a measure of our performance, because it excludes depreciation and amortization, and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations.  Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to the FFO of other REITs. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance.  FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of cash available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.  FFO should not be used as a supplement to or a substitute measure for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.

Comparison of Results

For the three months ended June 30, 2016, FFO increased by $10.8 million, or 15.3%, to $81.8 million, compared to $71.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in operating income from our office portfolio due to the acquisition of the Westwood Portfolio, and (ii) an increase in operating income from our multifamily portfolio due to higher rental rates, partially offset by (iii) an increase in interest expense due to the $580.0 million loan of the consolidated joint venture that acquired that Westwood Portfolio, and (iv) an increase in general and administrative expenses due to an increase in employee and director equity compensation as well as payroll taxes related to the exercise of options.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, FFO increased by $10.9 million, or 7.4%, to $157.9 million, compared to $147.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. Excluding $6.6 million of accelerated non cash accretion of an above-market ground lease from the acquisition of the fee under one of our Honolulu buildings in the first quarter of 2015, our FFO increased by $17.5 million or 12.5% for the reasons noted in the prior paragraph.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

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

At June 30, 2016, we had consolidated debt of $4.32 billion, which included the debt of our consolidated joint ventures. At June 30, 2016, $4.13 billion of our consolidated debt had an interest rate that was effectively fixed under the terms of the loan or a swap, with (i) a weighted average remaining life of 4.8 years, (ii) a weighted average remaining period during which the interest rate was fixed of 3.0 years, (iii) a weighted average annual interest rate of 3.31% and (iv) including non-cash amortization of deferred loan costs, a weighted average annual interest rate of 3.46%.
  
Financing Activity for six months ended June 30, 2016

For a description of our financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2016, please see "Acquisitions and Dispositions, Financings, Developments and Repositionings" above.

Short term liquidity

Excluding potential acquisitions and debt refinancings, we expect to meet our short term operating liquidity requirements through cash on hand, cash generated by operations and, if necessary, our $400.0 million revolving credit facility. See Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our revolving credit facility and our debt that is scheduled to mature in 2016.
 
We are currently developing two multifamily projects, one in our Brentwood submarket in Los Angeles, and one in Honolulu, Hawaii, please see "Acquisitions and Dispositions, Financings, Developments and Repositionings" above. We intend to finance the costs of these development projects through cash on hand, cash generated by operations, and as necessary, our revolving credit facility.

Long term liquidity

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, development and repositioning of properties, non-recurring capital expenditures and refinancing of indebtedness. We do not expect that we will have sufficient funds on hand to cover all of these long-term cash requirements. The nature of our business, and the requirements imposed by REIT federal tax rules that we distribute a substantial majority of our income on an annual basis, may cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over the long term. We plan to meet our additional long-term liquidity needs through long-term secured indebtedness, the issuance of equity securities, including OP Units, property dispositions and joint venture transactions. We have an ATM program which would allow us, subject to market conditions, to sell up to an additional $350.0 million as of the date of this Report. During July 2016, we sold 1.4 million shares of our common stock in open market transactions under our ATM program for net proceeds of approximately $49.8 million, after commissions and other expenses. We do not have any current plans to sell additional shares under our ATM program.

Contractual Obligations

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

Cash Flows

Comparison of six months ended June 30, 2016 to six months ended June 30, 2015

Cash flows from operating activities

Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent and recoveries from our tenants and the level of our operating expenses and other general and administrative costs.  Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $30.6 million to $166.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $136.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015.  The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in cash operating income from our office portfolio due to acquisitions, (ii) an increase in cash operating income from our multifamily portfolio due to higher rental rates, partially offset by (iii) an increase in general and administrative expenses due to payroll taxes from the exercise of options, (iv) an increase in cash interest expense due to higher debt balances, and (v) an increase in acquisition-related expenses.

Cash flows from investing activities

Our net cash used in investing activities is generally used to fund property acquisitions, developments and redevelopment projects, and recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $919.1 million to $1.04 billion for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $123.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase primarily reflects the expenditure of $1.26 billion for the acquisition of the Westwood Portfolio, partially offset by proceeds of $241.1 million from the sale of investment in real estate. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more detail regarding our acquisitions and dispositions.

Cash flows from financing activities

Our net cash related to financing activities is generally impacted by our borrowings and capital activities, as well as dividends and distributions paid to common stockholders and noncontrolling interests, respectively.  Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $808.2 million to $851.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to $43.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015. The increase primarily reflects an increase in net borrowings and $320.0 million of equity contributed by noncontrolling interests to our consolidated joint venture that acquired the Westwood Portfolio, partially offset by $52.4 million for taxes paid on the exercise of stock options.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Description of our Unconsolidated Funds

We manage and own equity interests in two unconsolidated Funds, Fund X and Partnership X, through which we and investors own eight office properties totaling 1.8 million square feet.  At June 30, 2016, we held equity interests of 68.61% of Fund X and 24.25% of Partnership X. Our Funds pay us fees and reimburse us for certain expenses related to property management and other services we provide to our Funds. We also receive distributions based on invested capital and on any profits that exceed certain specified cash returns to the investors. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our unconsolidated Funds.

Debt of our Unconsolidated Funds

(1)
We made certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve-outs under these loans, and also guaranteed the related swaps, although we have an indemnity from our unconsolidated Funds for any amounts that we would be required to pay under these agreements. As of June 30, 2016, all of the obligations under the loans and swap agreements have been performed by our unconsolidated Funds in accordance with the terms of those agreements.
(2)
Floating rate term loan, swapped to fixed, which is secured by six properties and requires monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal due upon maturity. As of June 30, 2016, assuming a zero-percent LIBOR interest rate during the remaining life of the swap, the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were $1.7 million.
(3)
Floating rate term loan, swapped to fixed, which is secured by two properties and requires monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal due upon maturity. As of June 30, 2016, assuming a zero-percent LIBOR interest rate during the remaining life of the swap, the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were $4.7 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

We have not made any material changes during the period covered by this Report to our critical accounting policies disclosed in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. For a discussion of recently issued and adopted accounting literature, see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.
    
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires us to make estimates of certain items. These estimates, which are inherently subjective and subject to change, affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. While we believe that our estimates are based upon reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time that they were made, some of our estimates will inevitably prove to be incorrect, and as a result, actual outcomes will could differ from our estimates, and those differences—positive or negative—could be material. Some of our estimates are subject to adjustment as we believe appropriate, based on revised estimates, and reconciliation to actual results when available.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We use derivative instruments to hedge interest rate risk related to our floating rate borrowings. However, our use of these instruments does expose us to credit risk from the potential inability of our counterparties to perform under the terms of those agreements. We attempt to minimize this credit risk by contracting with a variety of high-quality financial counterparties. See Notes 7 and 9 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our debt and derivatives.

At June 30, 2016, 4.2% of our debt was unhedged floating rate debt. A fifty-basis point change in the one month USD LIBOR interest rate would result in an annual impact to our earnings (through interest expense) of approximately $916,000. We calculate interest sensitivity by multiplying the amount of unhedged floating rate debt by fifty-basis points.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
 
As of June 30, 2016, the end of the period covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) at the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on the foregoing, our CEO and CFO concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
