Office Segment Results
Financial & operating
For third quarter 2020 compared to third quarter 2019:
-
Total revenue decreased
2.5% to$180.7 million . Primary factors include:- Del Amo being taken off-line for repositioning in first quarter of 2020, the conversion of the WeWork lease at Maxwell to a percentage rent structure, lower parking revenue stemming from COVID-19 impacted occupancy, and higher reserves against uncollected rents for certain tenants facing financial hardship related to COVID-19, all partially offset by the commencement of significant leases, including at EPIC (Netflix, Inc.), Fourth & Traction (Honey Science), Foothill Research Center (Google, Inc.), and 1455 Market (WeWork);
-
Operating expenses decreased
1.3% to$66.1 million . Primary factors include:- Lower expenses associated with all of Del Amo and a portion of Page Mill Center being taken off-line in first quarter of 2020, and the sale of Campus Center in third quarter of 2019, all partially offset largely by higher expenses associated with the aforementioned lease commencements; and
-
Net operating income and cash net operating income for the 40 consolidated same-store office properties decreased
9.2% and2.2% , respectively. Note the cash net operating income decrease reflects (does not include) approximately$1.3 million of contractually deferred rents, which if adjusted for, would result in cash net operating income decreasing0.8% .
Leasing
-
Stabilized and in-service office portfolios were
94.5% and93.5% leased, respectively; and -
Executed 38 new and renewal leases totaling 184,583 square feet with GAAP and cash rent growth of
40.8% and28.5% , respectively. Note that third quarter 2020 leasing activity includes 36,837 square feet of short-term extensions (i.e. 12 months or less), largely in connection with COVID-19 tenant relief, at rates at or around in-place contractual rents, with GAAP and cash rent growth for the balance of the square footage of37.7% and24.5% , respectively.

Adjusting for these reclassifications, third quarter 2020 rental revenue would have decreased by
16.5% , while service and other revenue would have decreased by a lesser amount resulting in a52.8% decline, compared to the third quarter 2019;
-

Note that revenue reclassifications in accordance with ASC 842, Leases ("ASC 842") decreased rental revenue, with a corresponding increase in service and other revenue, in the third quarter 2019.

Received full entitlements for Sunset Gower master plan
On October 22, 2020, the Company received unanimous approval from the Los Angeles City Planning Commission for its Sunset Gower Studios master plan, which provides for the transformation of this iconic studio facility originally built in 1918 into a modern media campus. In addition to preserving the lot's rich history by retaining and restoring the majority of its existing facilities, the plan allows for an additional 478,845 square feet of development, including two sound stages, one high-rise office tower, and one low-rise building housing office and production support space. The Company will have the ability to commence construction as early as 2022.

In October, the Company topped off structural steel at One Westside in West Los Angeles. The 584,000-square-foot innovative mall-to-office adaptive reuse project, which is fully funded and pre-leased in its entirety to Google, remains on track to deliver in the first quarter of 2022.

Hudson Pacific calculates FFO in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). 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 real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), adjusting for consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. The calculation of FFO includes amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. Hudson Pacific believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of its 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 the Company's 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, the Company's 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, Hudson Pacific believes that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of the Company's performance relative to its 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. Hudson Pacific uses FFO per share to calculate annual cash bonuses for certain employees. |
|
|
|
|
|
However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of Hudson Pacific's 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 the Company's properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact the Company's results from operations. |

- Hudson Pacific evaluates performance based upon property 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 the Company's performance, or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, or the Company's ability to make distributions. All companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. Hudson Pacific considers 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 the Company's 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. Hudson Pacific calculates 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. Hudson Pacific defines NOI as operating revenues (including rental revenues, other property-related revenue, tenant recoveries and other operating revenues), less property-level operating expenses (which includes external management fees, if any, and property-level general and administrative expenses). NOI on a cash basis is NOI adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments required by GAAP. Hudson Pacific believes 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.
