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 dynamic tech and media tenants in global epicenters for these synergistic, converging and secular growth industries, today announced financial results for the second quarter 2023.

"We continued to focus on the controllable aspects of our business during the quarter, which included leasing and expense management, given the industry challenges we are working to navigate," said Victor Coleman, Chairman & CEO. "Last month, the national entertainment strike expanded, with the actors joining the writers on strike for the first time since 1960. A strike of this magnitude, while rare and historically short-term, can be extremely impactful and far-reaching. We’re working diligently to mitigate its impact and to ensure our studio business is well positioned to capture the potential surge in production upon resolution. Regarding our office portfolio, a greater percentage of our tenants are starting to enforce back-to-office requirements, which we believe could ultimately result in the need for more office space as workforces have grown on a net basis over the past five years in many industries central to our leasing efforts. The timeline for tenant decision making remains extended, but increased interest is signaling that office fundamentals could begin to evolve in a more positive manner in our west coast markets. With our attention to capital preservation and addressing our debt maturities, we expect to overcome today’s challenges and capitalize on longer-term tenant activity within our attractive portfolio."

Financial Results Compared to Second Quarter 2022

  • Total revenue of $245.2 million compared to $251.4 million, primarily due to previously communicated vacancies at Skyport Plaza and 10900-10950 Washington and the sales of 6922 Hollywood and Skyway Landing
  • Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $36.2 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $7.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, driven by the aforementioned tenant move-outs and asset sales, higher operating expenses associated with the Quixote acquisition and increased interest expense
  • FFO, excluding specified items, of $34.5 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $74.6 million, or $0.51 per diluted share. Specified items consist of transaction-related income (rather than expense) of $2.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share (includes lowering accruals for future earn-outs related to the Zio Studio Services acquisition); prior-period property tax reimbursement of $1.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share; deferred tax asset write-off expense of $3.5 million, or $0.02 per diluted share; and, gain on debt extinguishment of $7.2 million (net of taxes), or $0.05 per diluted share. Prior year specified items consisted of transaction-related expenses of $1.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share; and prior-period property tax expense of $0.5 million, or $0.00 per diluted share
  • FFO of $42.2 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $73.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share
  • AFFO of $31.1 million, or $0.22 per diluted share, compared to $60.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted share
  • Same-store cash NOI of $127.6 million up 4.7% compared to $121.9 million, mostly attributable to significant office lease commencements at One Westside and Harlow

Leasing

  • Executed 61 new and renewal leases totaling 403,231 square feet, including a 56,000-square-foot renewal and extension with Rivian Automotive at Clocktower Square through 2028
  • GAAP and cash rents decreased 3.8% and 8.1%, respectively, from prior levels
  • In-service office portfolio ended the quarter at 85.2% occupied and 87.0% leased, with the change primarily attributable to small- to mid-sized expirations in the Peninsula and Silicon Valley, and to a lesser extent, Vancouver
  • On average over the trailing 12 months, the in-service studio portfolio was 86.5% leased, and the related 35 stages were 95.7% leased

Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2023

  • $581.2 million of total liquidity comprised of $109.2 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $472.0 million of undrawn capacity under the unsecured revolving credit facility
  • $90.0 million and $32.4 million of undrawn capacity under construction loans secured by One Westside/Westside Two and Sunset Glenoaks Studios, respectively
  • HPP's share of net debt to HPP's share of undepreciated book value was 38.7% with 85.3% of debt fixed or capped and no material maturities until the loan secured by One Westside, which is 100% leased to Google through 2036, matures in December 2024
  • Repaid the Quixote loan for $150.0 million, a $10.0 million discount on the principal balance, with funds from the unsecured revolving credit facility

Dividend

  • The Company's Board of Directors declared and paid dividends on its common stock of $0.125 per share, and on its 4.750% Series C cumulative preferred stock of $0.296875 per share

ESG Leadership

  • Issued 2022 Corporate Responsibility Report outlining achievements, including ranking #1 amongst office companies in the Americas in the GRESB Real Estate Assessment, winning Nareit’s Office Leader in the Light Award, inclusion in the Bloomberg Gender-Equality Index, and launch of HPPx2030 with ambitious targets to reduce climate impact and diversify management

2023 Outlook

Due to continued uncertainty around the duration of the studio-related union strikes, the Company will continue to provide certain assumptions relevant to its full-year 2023 office outlook, but has not reinstated its outlook for 2023 full-year FFO or studio-related assumptions. Current assumptions reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels and the earnings impact of events referenced in this press release and in earlier announcements. It otherwise excludes any impact from new acquisitions, dispositions, debt financings or repayments, recapitalizations, capital markets activity or similar matters. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from these estimates.

Same-store office for the full year 2023 is defined as the 43 office properties owned and included in the Company's stabilized portfolio as of January 1, 2022, and anticipated to still be owned and included in the stabilized portfolio through December 31, 2023.

(2)

Please see non-GAAP information below for definition of cash NOI.

(3)

Includes non-cash straight-line rent associated with the office properties.

(4)

Includes non-cash compensation expense, which the Company estimates at $22,000 in 2023.

(5)

Includes non-cash interest expense, which the Company estimates at $13,000 in 2023.

(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 2023 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.

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.

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.
