Insights

Kilroy's Q4 2024 results reveal a complex operational landscape with both encouraging signs and persistent challenges. The 708,000 square feet of leasing activity marks a significant milestone, but the composition requires careful analysis: only 29% represents truly new vacant space absorption, while 50% involves tenant shuffling and 21% renewals.

The 8.6% decline in cash rents on new leases, despite 3.4% GAAP rent growth, indicates meaningful concessions to attract and retain tenants. This suggests continued market softness and potential pressure on near-term cash flows. The 82.8% occupancy rate, while concerning, aligns with broader market challenges in key West Coast markets.

Financial management shows prudence with the repayment of $403.7 million in senior notes and maintenance of $1.3 billion in liquidity. However, the 2025 FFO guidance of $3.85-$4.05 per share, down from 2024's $4.59, coupled with projected negative same-store NOI growth of -1.5% to -3.0%, suggests management expects continued market headwinds.

The $2.16 annual dividend appears sustainable with a 56% FFO payout ratio based on 2024 results, but could face pressure if FFO declines as projected. The company's strategic positioning in key markets and focus on high-quality assets provides some buffer against market weakness, though recovery timing remains uncertain.

________________________

(1)		We calculate Funds From Operations available to common stockholders and common unitholders (“FFO”) in accordance with the 2018 Restated White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of Nareit. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. The reconciling items include amounts to adjust earnings from consolidated partially-owned entities and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates to FFO. Our calculation of FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. We also add back net income attributable to noncontrolling common units of the Operating Partnership because we report FFO attributable to common stockholders and common unitholders.

		We believe that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of our activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of operating performance to other 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.

		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)		Reported amounts are attributable to common stockholders, common unitholders, and restricted stock unitholders.

(3)		FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders includes amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements of $4.1 million and $5.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $19.1 million and $20.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

(4)		Calculated based on weighted average shares outstanding, including participating share-based awards (i.e. certain time-based restricted stock units) and assuming the exchange of all common limited partnership units outstanding.

(5)		Calculated based on weighted average shares outstanding, including participating and non-participating share-based awards, dilutive impact of contingently issuable shares, and assuming the exchange of all common limited partnership units outstanding.
