Insights

Financial Analyst

Hudson Pacific's Q4 2024 results paint a picture of a company in transition, actively working to stabilize its position amid challenging market conditions. The 2.0 million square feet of office leasing activity in 2024, representing a 20% year-over-year increase, demonstrates some market resilience. However, the financial metrics reveal ongoing pressures that require careful analysis.

The significant net loss of $167.0 million was largely impacted by a $109.9 million non-cash impairment related to Quixote, highlighting challenges in the studio services segment. The decline in same-store cash NOI to $94.2 million reflects broader occupancy challenges, though the 2.0 million square foot leasing pipeline, including 800,000 square feet of advanced-stage deals, suggests potential stabilization ahead.

The company's strategic response is multi-faceted:

• Asset monetization through strategic sales, including the recent dispositions of 3176 Porter and Maxwell for a combined $70.8 million
• Balance sheet management via an amended credit facility, maintaining $518.3 million in total liquidity
• Cost reduction initiatives and operational optimization

The 38.7% net debt to undepreciated book value ratio, with 90.7% of debt fixed or capped and no maturities until November 2025, provides some financial flexibility. However, the declining rental rates (-6.0% GAAP, -9.9% cash) indicate persistent market softness, though these figures were significantly impacted by a single lease at Rincon Center.

Looking ahead, the anticipated California film and television tax credit program in H2 2025 could provide a meaningful catalyst for the studio business, potentially offsetting some office sector challenges. The company's focus on AI-related leasing opportunities aligns with evolving market demands, though execution will be critical in translating this pipeline into improved occupancy and financial performance.

– Signed 2.0M Sq Ft of Office Leases in 2024 Including 442,000 Sq Ft in 4Q –

– Provides 2025 1Q FFO Outlook and Full-Year Assumptions –

LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HPP) (the "Company," "Hudson Pacific," or "HPP"), a unique provider of end-to-end real estate solutions for tech and media tenants, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter 2024.

Victor Coleman, Chairman and CEO, stated, "In 2024, we ended the year with office leasing nearly 20% higher compared to the prior year, comprised of more than 2.0 million square feet of activity. Importantly, our leasing pipeline is currently more than 2.0 million square feet, including nearly 800,000 square feet of later stage deals. Paired with robust touring, this momentum gives us confidence that we should see ongoing progress in our efforts to raise occupancy as we move through the year. AI related leasing as well as broader in-office mandates from major employers continue to drive companies to evaluate the need for additional space in well-located, high-quality properties. As for our studios, following a slower than anticipated start to production this year due to the wildfires in Los Angeles, we are beginning to see high-caliber shows returning and looking to ramp up production later in the year. There is also strong and growing sentiment coalescing around the California governor’s film and television tax credit program that would go into effect in the second half of 2025 and could stimulate additional demand."

"Beyond our strong focus on driving office and studio leasing, our strategic priorities in 2025 are to continue to execute on asset sales, look for additional cost savings and further strengthen our balance sheet. We are committed to achieving our targets, which will optimally position Hudson Pacific for reinvigorated future earnings growth."

Financial Results Compared to Fourth Quarter 2023

• Total revenue of $209.7 million compared to $223.4 million, largely due to the sale of One Westside and a single tenant move out at Maxwell, partially offset by improved studio service and other revenue from Quixote and Sunset Las Palmas
• Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $167.0 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $98.0 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, primarily due to the aforementioned items affecting revenue, a non-cash, non-real-estate impairment associated with Quixote, a prior-year gain from the sale of One Westside, partially offset by a prior-year loss on the sale of bonds and improved interest expense
• FFO, excluding specified items, of $15.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $19.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, due to the items affecting revenue, offset by improved interest expense. Specified items include a goodwill impairment and write-off of assets related to Quixote of $109.9 million or $0.75 per diluted share; a non-cash deferred tax asset adjustment of $2.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share; and a one-time income tax expense at Bentall Centre stemming from a legislation change of $0.8 million, or $0.01 per diluted share; compared to specified items consisting of a non-cash deferred tax asset adjustment of $6.6 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, and transaction-related expense of $0.2 million, or $0.00 per diluted share
• FFO of $(93.0) million, or $(0.64) per diluted share, compared to $12.8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share
• AFFO of $3.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared to $21.5 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, primarily resulting from the items affecting FFO along with increased recurring capital expenditures
• Same-store cash NOI of $94.2 million compared to $106.3 million, primarily due to lower office portfolio occupancy

Leasing

• Executed 76 new and renewal leases totaling 441,924 square feet, including a new direct lease with Salesforce's sub-tenant at Rincon Center for 83,000 square feet for an approximately 3-year term
• GAAP and cash rents decreased 6.0% and 9.9% from prior levels, but would have decreased 2.8% and 4.3%, respectively, but for the aforementioned lease at Rincon Center
• In-service office portfolio ended the quarter at 78.3% occupied and 78.9% leased, compared to 79.1% occupied and 80.0% leased in the prior quarter, with the change primarily resulting from a single tenant move out at Met Park North, but for which the occupied and leased percentages would have been 79.3% and 79.9%, respectively
• On average over the trailing 12 months, the in-service studio portfolio was 73.8% leased, and the stages were 76.8% leased, compared to 73.8% and 75.9%, respectively, in the prior quarter, with the increase in stage leased percentage attributable to additional occupancy at Sunset Las Palmas

Transactions

• Sold 3176 Porter, a 47,000-square-foot office property in Palo Alto, California, for $24.8 million before prorations and closing costs
• Subsequent to the quarter, sold Maxwell, a 103,000-square-foot office property in Los Angeles, California, for $46.0 million before prorations and closing costs
• Net proceeds from both transactions used to repay amounts on the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility

Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024

• Subsequent to the quarter, amended the Company's unsecured revolving credit facility to favorably adjust certain definitions and covenant calculations beginning with the period ending December 31, 2024, in light of which lender commitments are $775 million compared to the prior amendment amount of $900 million. The facility matures in December 2026 (including extension options)
• Adjusted for the aforementioned amendment, the Company had $518.3 million of total liquidity comprised of $63.3 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $455.0 million of undrawn capacity under the unsecured revolving credit facility
• The Company also had $153.4 million and $1.0 million, or $39.2 million and $0.5 million at HPP's share, of undrawn capacity under construction loans secured by Sunset Pier 94 and Sunset Glenoaks, respectively
• HPP's share of net debt to HPP's share of undepreciated book value was 38.7% with 90.7% of debt fixed or capped, with no maturities until November 2025

Dividend

(1)		Same-store for the full year 2025 is defined as the 39 office properties and three studio properties, as applicable, owned and included in the Company's stabilized portfolio as of January 1, 2024, and anticipated to still be owned and included in the stabilized portfolio through December 31, 2025.
(2)		Please see non-GAAP information below for definition of cash NOI.
(3)		Includes non-cash straight-line rent associated with the studio and office properties.
(4)		Includes non-cash compensation expense, which the Company estimates at $22,000 in 2025.
(5)		Includes non-cash interest expense, which the Company estimates at $6,000 in 2025.
(6)		Diluted shares represent ownership in the Company through shares of common stock, OP Units and other convertible or exchangeable instruments. The weighted average fully diluted common stock/units outstanding for 2024 includes an estimate for the dilution impact of stock grants to the Company's executives under its long-term incentive programs. This estimate is based on the projected award potential of such programs as of the end of the most recently completed quarter, as calculated in accordance with the ASC 260, Earnings Per Share.

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

(1)		We calculate Funds from Operations ("FFO") in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus the HPP’s share of real estate-related depreciation and amortization, excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets. The calculation of FFO includes the HPP’s share of amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets.
		FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure we believe is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of our activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs.
		Implicit in historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, we believe that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of our performance relative to our competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities than the required GAAP presentations alone would provide. We use FFO per share to calculate annual cash bonuses for certain employees.
		However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance because it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations.
(2)		HPP's share is a Non-GAAP financial measure calculated as the measure on a consolidated basis, in accordance with GAAP, plus our Operating Partnership’s share of the measure from our unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the Operating Partnership’s percentage ownership interest), minus our partners’ share of the measure from our consolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the partners’ percentage ownership interests). We believe that presenting HPP’s share of these measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and/or results of operations because we have several significant joint ventures, and in some cases, we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, the joint venture. In such instances, GAAP requires us to account for the joint venture entity using the equity method of accounting, which we do not consolidate for financial reporting purposes. In other cases, GAAP requires us to consolidate the venture even though our partner(s) own(s) a significant percentage interest.

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

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