Operating Results for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

Net income allocable to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $45.6 million, or $1.65 per diluted share, and $73.5 million, or $2.66 per diluted share, respectively. Net operating income (“NOI”) attributable to the Company’s Same Park portfolio (defined below) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $73.2 million and $143.5 million, respectively, representing increases of 9.4% and 4.2% over the same periods in 2020.

The Company also reports NOI, a measure that is not defined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), on a cash basis, which excludes non-cash rental income such as amortization of deferred rent receivable and other non-cash items, and also excludes rents that have been deferred or abated during the period. Same Park Cash NOI was $73.1 million and $143.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, representing increases of 13.5% and 6.4% over the same periods in 2020. The increases in Same Park Cash NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were driven by cash rental income growth of 10.7% and 5.8%, respectively, partially offset by growth in adjusted cost of operations of 4.2% and 4.4%, over the same periods in 2020.

The following table details the change in Same Park rental income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

Non-cash rental income includes amortization of deferred rent receivable (net of write-offs), in-place lease intangible, tenant improvement reimbursements, and lease incentives.

Weighted average occupancy for the Company’s Same Park portfolio during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was 92.9% and 92.7%, respectively, compared to 92.2% and 92.5% for the same periods in 2020. Total portfolio weighted average occupancy was 92.9% and 92.6% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, compared to 91.6% and 92.3% for the same periods in 2020.

Additional detail on Same Park NOI and Same Park Cash NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 is provided in the Property Operations–Same Park Portfolio section below.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Core FFO, and Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”)

FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $1.75 per share and $3.43 per share, respectively, representing increases of 10.7% and 3.8% from the same periods in 2020. The increases in FFO per share were the result of higher NOI as described above partially offset by higher general and administrative expense primarily driven by stock compensation expense and professional fees related to the reincorporation of PSB from the state of California to the state of Maryland during the second quarter of 2021.

FFO is a non-GAAP measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and generally represents GAAP net income before (i) real estate depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) gains or losses on sales of operating properties, and (iii) land and impairment charges on real estate assets.

Core FFO, which the Company defines as FFO excluding the impact of (i) charges related to the redemption of preferred stock and (ii) other nonrecurring income or expense items as appropriate, was $1.77 per share and $3.44 per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, representing increases of 11.7% and 4.3% from the same periods in 2020. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company excluded in its presentation of Core FFO the one-time costs associated with the Company’s reincorporation as a Maryland corporation of $0.5 million. Core FFO per share was equal to FFO per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

FAD for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was $54.5 million and $104.8 million, respectively, representing increases of 22.2% and 11.6% from the same periods in 2020. The increases in FAD for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were attributable to higher Same Park Cash NOI and lower recurring capital expenditures. FAD is a non-GAAP measure that represents Core FFO adjusted to (i) deduct recurring capital improvements and capitalized tenant improvements and lease commissions and (ii) remove certain non-cash income or expenses, such as amortization of deferred rent receivable and stock compensation expense.

FFO, Core FFO, and FAD are not substitutes for GAAP net income. Other real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) may compute FFO, Core FFO, and FAD differently, which could inhibit comparability. The Company believes its presentation of FFO, Core FFO, and FAD assists investors and analysts in analyzing and comparing the operating and financial performance between reporting periods. Additional information about these measures is included on the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Leasing Production ¹

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company executed leases on 1.9 million and 3.9 million square feet, respectively, compared to 1.8 million and 3.6 million square feet for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. Weighted average cash rental rate growth on leases executed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 was 3.1% and 4.4%, respectively, while average net effective rent² growth was 10.6% and 12.7% for the same periods. The average lease term of all leases executed during the three months ended June 30, 2021 was 3.3 years, with associated average transaction costs (tenant improvements and leasing commissions) of $2.77 per square foot. For comparative purposes, average lease term and transaction costs on leases executed during the three months ended June 30, 2020 were 3.2 years and $2.30 per square foot, respectively.

Property Operations–Same Park Portfolio

The Company believes that evaluation of the Same Park portfolio, defined as all properties owned and operated as of June 30, 2021 that were acquired prior to January 1, 2019, provides an informative view of how the Company’s portfolio has performed over comparable periods. As of June 30, 2021, the Same Park portfolio consisted of 26.3 million rentable square feet, or 95.3% of the Company’s 27.6 million total rentable square feet, excluding the Company’s 95.0% interest in a 395-unit multifamily property. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and for all comparative periods presented herein, the Company has excluded a 244,000 square foot office park located in Herndon, Virginia, which was held for sale as of June 30, 2021. The Company also excluded a 198,000 square foot office oriented flex business park located in Chantilly, Virginia, which sold in June 2021.

_____________________________

1 Leasing Production excludes assets held for sale as of June 30, 2021.

2 Net effective rent represents average rental payments for the term of a lease on a straight-line basis in accordance with GAAP and excludes operating expense reimbursements.

(1)		Cash Rental Income represents rental income excluding Non-Cash Rental Income (defined below). Detail of the components of Cash Rental Income can be found in the table presented under operating results above.
(2)		Non-Cash Rental Income represents amortization of deferred rent receivable (net of write-offs), in-place lease intangible, tenant improvement reimbursements, and lease incentives. Same Park Non-Cash Rental Income is presented net of deferred rent receivable write-offs of $0.1 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $0.2 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
(3)		Adjusted Cost of Operations, as presented above, excludes stock compensation expense for employees whose compensation expense is recorded in cost of operations, which can vary significantly period to period based upon the performance of the Company.
(4)		The Company utilizes NOI, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the operating performance of its properties. The Company defines NOI as rental income less Adjusted Cost of Operations. The Company believes NOI assists investors in analyzing the performance of its real estate by excluding (i) corporate overhead (i.e., general and administrative expense) because it does not relate to the direct operating performance of the real estate, (ii) depreciation and amortization expense because it does not accurately reflect changes in the fair value of the real estate, and (iii) stock compensation expense because this expense item can vary significantly from period to period and thus impact comparability across periods.
(5)		The Company utilizes Cash NOI, a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the cash flow performance of its properties and believes investors utilize this metric for the same purpose. The Company defines Cash NOI as Cash Rental Income less Adjusted Cost of Operations.
(6)		NOI margin is computed by dividing NOI by rental income.
(7)		Cash NOI margin is computed by dividing Cash NOI by Cash Rental Income.
(8)		Revenue per occupied square foot is computed by dividing rental income for the period by weighted average occupied square feet for the same period. Revenue per occupied square foot for the three and six month periods shown is annualized.
(9)		Revenue per Available Square Foot (RevPAF) is computed by dividing rental income for the period by weighted average available square feet for the same period. RevPAF for the three and six month periods shown is annualized.
(10)		Cash Rental Income per occupied square foot is computed by dividing Cash Rental Income for the period by weighted average occupied square feet for the same period. Cash rental income per occupied square foot for the three and six month periods shown is annualized.
(11)		Cash Rental Income per Available Square Foot is computed by dividing Cash Rental Income for the period by weighted average available square feet for the same period. Cash rental income per available square foot for the three and six month periods shown is annualized.

COVID-19 Pandemic/Rent Collections Update

The COVID-19 pandemic has had and is expected to continue to have an impact on our operations and capital plans. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted $0.1 million of rent deferral and $0.1 million of rent abatement, which was significantly lower than $3.8 million of rent deferral and $0.9 million of abatement granted at the initial onset of the COVID‑19 pandemic during the three months ended June 30, 2020. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company granted $0.3 million of rent deferral and $0.2 million of rent abatement. Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company entered into rent relief agreements consisting of $5.9 million of rent deferrals and $1.5 million of rent abatements. As of June 30, 2021, the 352 current customers that received rent relief account for 10.4% of rental income. As of June 30, 2021, the Company collected $4.3 million of rent deferral repayment, representing 99.2% of the amounts scheduled to be repaid through June 2021. An additional $0.6 million of rent deferral repayment is scheduled to be repaid by customers between July 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021, with another $0.8 million thereafter.

As of August 2, 2021, the Company had collected 99.4% of revenue billed during the six months ended June 30, 2021. The Company noted that the second quarter of 2021 marked the fourth consecutive quarter of normal accounts receivable write-off activity. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company wrote off $0.0 of accounts receivable, net of recoveries, compared to $1.2 million written off during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company wrote off $0.1 million and $0.2 million of deferred rent receivable, respectively, which is significantly lower than the $2.4 million written off during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

As of August 2, 2021, the Company had open rent relief requests from approximately 1% of its customers. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations–Certain Factors that May Impact Future Results–Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic” in our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 for more information.

Dispositions Update

On June 17, 2021, the Company sold a 198,000 square foot office oriented flex business park located in Chantilly, Virginia, for net proceeds of $32.6 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2021, the Company completed the sale of a 244,000 square foot office business park located in Herndon, Virginia, for a gross sales price of $41.3 million. Both properties were reclassified as held for sale as of December 31, 2020. The Company noted that these dispositions are consistent with its strategy to opportunistically divest certain non-strategic assets.

The Company also announced that it is separately marketing for sale a 371,000 square foot flex park located in San Diego, California, and 267,000 square feet of flex properties located in Irving, Texas. The Company noted that it is not committed to, or required to, sell these assets and will evaluate the prospect of a sale based on market interest. Due to the uncertainty of these potential dispositions, the properties remain as held for use in the consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2021 and for all comparable periods.

Distributions Declared

On July 27, 2021, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $1.05 per share of common stock. Distributions were also declared on the various series of depositary shares, each representing 1/1,000 of a share of preferred stock. Distributions for both common stock and preferred stock will be payable on September 30, 2021 to stockholders of record on September 15, 2021.
