Revenues totaled $168.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2016, compared to $147.4 million in the prior year period.

All per share amounts in this report are presented on a diluted basis.

Operating and Leasing Activity
At December 31, 2016, KRC’s stabilized portfolio totaled approximately 14.0 million square feet of office space and 200 residential units located in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area and greater Seattle. During the fourth quarter, the company signed new or renewing leases in the office portfolio totaling 456,000 square feet of space. At quarter-end, the office portfolio was 96.0% occupied, compared to 96.6% at September 30, 2016 and 94.8% at December 31, 2015, and was 97.0% leased.

Real Estate Development Activity
At December 31, 2016, KRC had two office projects totaling approximately 1.1 million square feet, 237 residential units and 96,000 square feet of retail space under construction. These projects represent a total estimated investment of approximately $980.0 million. The company also had one office project in lease-up encompassing approximately 377,000 square feet and representing a total estimated investment of approximately $230.0 million. The office project was 86% committed at the end of the fourth quarter. In addition, KRC’s 200-unit residential tower was 57% leased at December 31, 2016.

Management Comments
“2016 was another exceptional year for KRC, with strong results across all areas of our business,” said John Kilroy, the company’s chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Our stabilized portfolio operated at record occupancy, produced record same-store net operating income and generated solid growth in rental rates. In our development program, we delivered approximately $814.0 million of office and residential projects with the office portion 93% committed and secured approvals for approximately 1.8 million square feet in new entitlements, ensuring a shovel-ready set of projects for 2017. Selective participation in the acquisitions market brought us several outstanding properties with unique opportunities for value enhancement. And finally, we demonstrated our commitment to financial discipline and broad access to capital through diverse fund raising that totaled almost $1.6 billion.”

FFO per Share Guidance
The company has provided an initial guidance range of NAREIT-defined FFO per share (diluted) for its fiscal year 2017 of $3.40 - $3.60 per share with a midpoint of $3.50 per share. This compares to FFO of $3.41 per share in 2016 after adjusting for a $0.05 per share gain from a property damage settlement.

These estimates reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels and the earnings impact of the events referenced in this release and otherwise referenced during the conference call referred to below. These estimates do not include possible future gains or losses or the impact on operating results from other possible future property acquisitions or dispositions, other possible capital markets activity or possible future impairment charges. There can be no assurance that the company’s actual results will not differ materially from these estimates.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
The company does not provide a reconciliation for its guidance range of FFO per common share/unit - diluted to net income available to common stockholders per common share - diluted, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, because it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate 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 available to common stockholders per share - diluted, including, for example, gains on sales of depreciable real estate and other items that have not yet occurred and are out of the company’s control. For the same reasons, the company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information and believes that providing a reconciliation for its guidance range of FFO per common share/unit - diluted would imply a degree of precision as to its forward-looking net income available to common stockholders per common share - diluted that would be confusing or misleading to investors.

Forward-Looking Statements

market and general economic conditions and their effect on our liquidity and financial conditions and those of our tenants; adverse economic or real estate conditions generally, and specifically, in the States of California and Washington; investment in our real estate assets, which are illiquid; trends in the real estate industry; defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants; any significant downturn in tenants’ businesses; our ability to release property at or above current market rates; costs to comply with government regulations, including environmental remediations; the availability of cash for distribution and debt service and exposure to risk of default under debt obligations; increases in interest rates and our ability to manage interest rate exposure; failure of interest rate hedging contracts to perform as expected and the effectiveness of such arrangements; the availability of financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact our future interest expense and our ability to pursue development, redevelopment and acquisition opportunities and refinance existing debt; a decline in real estate asset valuations, which may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or obtain or maintain debt financing; significant competition, which may decrease the occupancy and rental rates of properties; potential losses that may not be covered by insurance; the ability to successfully complete acquisitions and dispositions on announced terms; the ability to successfully operate acquired, developed and redeveloped properties; the ability to successfully complete development and redevelopment projects on schedule and within budgeted amounts; delays or refusals in obtaining all necessary zoning, land use and other required entitlements, governmental permits and authorizations for our development and redevelopment properties; increases in anticipated capital expenditures, tenant improvement and/or leasing costs; defaults on leases for land on which some of our properties are located; adverse changes to, or implementations of, applicable laws, regulations or legislation; risks associated with joint venture investments, including our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on co-venturers’ financial condition and disputes between us and our co-venturers; environmental uncertainties and risks related to natural disasters; and our ability to maintain our status as a REIT.

 ________________________

We calculate Funds From Operations available to common stockholders and common unitholders (“FFO”) in accordance with the 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 extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, 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) and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. 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.
