Hudson Pacific Properties Reports Third Quarter 2024 Financial Results

– Signed 1.6 Million Sq Ft of Office Leases Year to Date with 539,000 Sq Ft in 3Q –

 – Provides 4Q FFO Outlook and Updated Full-Year Assumptions –

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, today announced financial results for the third quarter 2024.

"Year to date, we have leased 1.6 million square feet of office space, 25% ahead of this time last year, and following nearly 540,000 square feet signed in the third quarter, our leasing pipeline and touring activity remain strong,” commented Victor Coleman, Hudson Pacific’s Chairman and CEO. “Growth in west coast tenant requirements has begun to outpace the broader US office market, a trend we anticipate will continue, given more 4-5 day in-office mandates from major employers, slowing tech layoffs, solid venture and AI investments, and increased venture fundraising activity. On the studios side, while Los Angeles show counts have yet to normalize post-strike, we presently have contracts for or interest in nearly 80% of our film and television stages, with demand coalescing around 2025 production starts and recently bolstered by the Governor's proposal to increase California's film and television tax credit program to three quarters of a billion dollars.

"While all of these positive developments point to meaningfully improved operating performance in the year ahead, we are laser focused on maintaining financial flexibility, and with no debt maturities until the end of 2025, we have good momentum on multiple asset-level transactions to further enhance balance sheet strength."

Financial Results Compared to Third Quarter 2023

  • Total revenue of $200.4 million compared to $231.4 million, almost entirely due to the sale of One Westside and expiration of the Block lease at 1455 Market last year, all partially offset by growth in studio revenue
  • Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $97.9 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $37.6 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, largely attributable to non-cash impairments associated with potential asset sales, along with the items affecting revenue, all partially offset by reduced depreciation and interest expense
  • FFO, excluding specified items, of $14.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to $26.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, mostly attributable to the items affecting revenue and lower FFO attributable to non-controlling interests. Specified items consisted of a one-time straight-line rent reserve related to transitioning a tenant to cash basis reporting of $3.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share; a non-cash revaluation associated with a loan swap unqualified for hedge accounting of $2.2 million, or $0.02 per diluted share; a non-cash deferred tax asset write-off of $1.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share; and transaction-related expense of $0.3 million, or $0.00 per diluted share. There were no specified items for the third quarter 2023
  • FFO of $6.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $26.1 million, or $0.18 per diluted share
  • AFFO of $15.8 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $28.1 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, primarily attributable to the items affecting FFO
  • Same-store cash NOI of $96.9 million, compared to $113.2 million, mostly due to tenant move outs, including Block at 1455 Market

Leasing

  • Executed 85 new and renewal leases totaling 539,272 square feet, with significant leases including:
    • 42,000-square-foot new lease at Page Mill Hill with an 11-year term
    • 41,000-square-foot renewal lease at 901 Market with an approximately 10-year term
    • 31,000-square-foot new lease at Bentall Centre with an approximately 11-year term
    • 27,000-square-foot new lease at Palo Alto Square with an approximately 11-year term
    • 24,000-square-foot new lease at Page Mill Center with a 4-year term
    • 18,000-square-foot renewal at Concourse with a 15-year term
  • GAAP and cash rents decreased 11.5% and 13.3% from prior levels, respectively, but excluding a 29,000-square-foot short-term lease extension in Los Angeles, and two mid-size Bay Area leases totaling 68,000 square feet, GAAP and cash rent spreads would have been essentially flat
  • In-service office portfolio ended the quarter at 79.1% occupied and 80.0% leased, compared to 78.7% occupied and 80.0% leased, respectively, in second quarter of this year, with the change in occupancy primarily due to leases signed in the San Francisco Peninsula and Silicon Valley. But for the designation of Foothill Research Center as held-for-sale, the Company's in-service office portfolio would have ended the quarter at 79.3% occupied and 80.2% leased
  • On average over the trailing 12 months, the in-service studio portfolio was 73.8% leased, and the stages were 75.9% leased, compared to 76.1% and 78.1%, respectively, in the second quarter of this year, with the change due to a single tenant move out at Sunset Las Palmas Studios last year

Transactions

  • Entered into a contract to sell Foothill Research Center, a 195,121-square-foot office asset in Palo Alto and reclassified the property as held-for-sale

Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2024

  • $695.7 million of total liquidity comprised of $90.7 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $605.0 million of undrawn capacity under the unsecured revolving credit facility
  • $12.0 million and $183.1 million, or $6.0 million and $46.8 million at HPP's share, of undrawn capacity under construction loans secured by Sunset Glenoaks Studios and Sunset Pier 94 Studios, respectively
  • HPP's share of net debt to HPP's share of undepreciated book value was 37.4% with 91.5% of debt fixed or capped with no maturities until November 2025

Dividend

  • The Company's Board of Directors suspended payment of a quarterly dividend on its common stock and declared and paid a dividend on its 4.750% Series C cumulative preferred stock of $0.296875 per share

Personnel Update

  • Stefanie Bourne has been promoted to EVP, Studios effective October 15, 2024, and will oversee studio and production services sales, production services operations, and strategic initiatives for the Company's studio business. Bourne most recently served as SVP, Studio Operations and Strategic Initiatives. Prior to joining Hudson Pacific, she worked at the Walt Disney Company in global development for parks, experiences and products, and in real estate investments for Colony Capital

2024 Outlook

Hudson Pacific is providing an FFO outlook for the fourth quarter of $0.09 to $0.13 per diluted share along with updated full-year assumptions (see table below). There are no specified items in connection with this outlook.

This outlook reflects 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, amendments or repayments, recapitalizations, capital markets activity or similar matters. There can be no assurance that actual results will not differ materially from these estimates.

Below are some of the assumptions the Company used in providing this outlook:

(1)

Same-store for the full year 2024 is defined as the 40 office properties and three studio properties, as applicable, owned and included in the Company's stabilized portfolio as of January 1, 2023, and anticipated to still be owned and included in the stabilized portfolio through December 31, 2024. Due to reclassification as held-for-sale, Foothill Research Center has been removed from the same-store population. If Foothill Research Center remained within the same-store, growth in same-store property cash NOI would have been (13.50)% to (12.50)%.

(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. Also includes a one-time straight-line rent reserve of approximately $7,600 related to transitioning a tenant to cash basis reporting.

(4)

Includes non-cash compensation expense, which the Company estimates at $26,000 in 2024.

(5)

Includes non-cash interest expense, which the Company estimates at $5,000 in 2024.

(6)

Includes non-cash revaluation associated with a loan swap unqualified for hedge accounting of approximately $2,200.

(7)

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.

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.
