Organization, Ownership and Basis of Presentation

Organization and Ownership

Kilroy Realty Corporation (the “Company”) is a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) active in premier office and mixed-use submarkets along the West Coast. We own, develop, acquire and manage real estate assets, consisting primarily of Class A properties in the coastal regions of Greater Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego County, the San Francisco Bay Area and Greater Seattle, which we believe have strategic advantages and strong barriers to entry. Class A real estate encompasses attractive and efficient buildings of high quality that are attractive to tenants, are well-designed and constructed with above-average material, workmanship and finishes and are well-maintained and managed. We qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company’s common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “KRC.”

We own our interests in all of our real estate assets through Kilroy Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) and Kilroy Realty Finance Partnership, L.P. (the “Finance Partnership”). We generally conduct substantially all of our operations through the Operating Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context indicates otherwise, the terms “Kilroy Realty Corporation” or the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Kilroy Realty Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries and the term “Operating Partnership” refers to Kilroy Realty, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The descriptions of our business, employees and properties apply to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.

Our stabilized portfolio of operating properties was comprised of the following properties at September 30, 2018:



	Number of Buildings	Rentable Square Feet (unaudited)	Number of Tenants	Percentage Occupied (unaudited)		Percentage Leased (unaudited)
Stabilized Office Properties	104	13,891,493	524	93.5	%	96.6	%



	Number of Buildings	Number of Units	2018 Average Occupancy (unaudited)
Stabilized Residential Property	1	200	83.3	%

Our stabilized portfolio includes all of our properties with the exception of development and redevelopment properties currently committed for construction, under construction, or in the tenant improvement phase, undeveloped land and real estate assets held for sale. We define redevelopment properties as those properties for which we expect to spend significant development and construction costs on the existing or acquired buildings pursuant to a formal plan, the intended result of which is a higher economic return on the property. We define properties in the tenant improvement phase as properties that we are developing or redeveloping where the project has reached cold shell condition and is ready for tenant improvements, which may require additional major base building construction before being placed in service. Projects in the tenant improvement phase are added to our stabilized portfolio once the project reaches the earlier of 95% occupancy or one year from the date of the cessation of major base building construction activities. Costs capitalized to construction in progress for development and redevelopment properties are transferred to land and improvements, buildings and improvements, and deferred leasing costs on our consolidated balance sheets at the historical cost of the property as the projects are placed in service.

As of September 30, 2018, the following properties were excluded from our stabilized portfolio. We did not have any redevelopment properties or properties held for sale at September 30, 2018.



	Number of Properties/Projects	Estimated Rentable Square Feet ⁽¹⁾ (unaudited)
In-process development projects - tenant improvement⁽²⁾	2	1,150,000
In-process development projects - under construction ⁽³⁾	3	956,000

________________________


(1)	Estimated rentable square feet upon completion.


(2)	Includes 86,000 square feet of Production, Distribution, and Repair (“PDR”) space at 100 Hooper.


(3)	In addition to the estimated office and PDR rentable square feet noted above, development projects under construction also include 120,000 square feet of retail space and 608 residential units.

Our stabilized portfolio also excludes our future development pipeline, which as of September 30, 2018 was comprised of seven potential development sites, representing approximately 80 gross acres of undeveloped land.

As of September 30, 2018, all of our properties and development projects were owned and all of our business was conducted in the state of California with the exception of twelve office properties and one development project under construction located in the state of Washington. All of our properties and development projects are 100% owned, excluding four office properties owned by three consolidated property partnerships and a development site held by consolidated variable interest entities for future transactions intended to qualify as like-kind exchanges pursuant to Section 1031 of the Code (“Section 1031 Exchanges”).

Two of the three property partnerships, 100 First Street Member, LLC (“100 First LLC”) and 303 Second Street Member, LLC (“303 Second LLC”), each owned one office property in San Francisco, California through subsidiary REITs. As of September 30, 2018, the Company owned a 56% common equity interest in both 100 First LLC and 303 Second LLC. The third property partnership, Redwood City Partners, LLC (“Redwood LLC”) owned two office properties in Redwood City, California. As of September 30, 2018, the Company owned an approximate 93% common equity interest in Redwood LLC. The remaining interests in all three property partnerships were owned by unrelated third parties.

Ownership and Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership, the Finance Partnership, 303 Second LLC, 100 First LLC, Redwood LLC and all of our wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership, the Finance Partnership, 303 Second LLC, 100 First LLC, Redwood LLC and all of our wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2018, the Company owned an approximate 98.0% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 2.0% common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2018 was owned by non-affiliated investors and certain of our executive officers and directors. Both the general and limited common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are denominated in common units. Generally, the number of common units held by the Company is equivalent to the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, and the rights of all the common units to quarterly distributions and payments in liquidation mirror those of the Company’s common stockholders. The common limited partners have certain redemption rights as provided in the Operating Partnership’s Seventh Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended, the “Partnership Agreement.”

Kilroy Realty Finance, Inc., which is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, is the sole general partner of the Finance Partnership and owns a 1.0% common general partnership interest in the Finance Partnership. The Operating Partnership owns the remaining 99.0% common limited partnership interest. With the exception of the Operating Partnership and our consolidated property partnerships, all of our subsidiaries are wholly-owned.

The accompanying interim financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. However, the results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2018. The interim financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

Variable Interest Entities

The Operating Partnership is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) that is consolidated by the Company as the primary beneficiary as the Operating Partnership is a limited partnership in which the common limited partners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. At September 30, 2018, the consolidated financial statements of the Company included five VIEs in addition to the Operating Partnership: 100 First LLC, 303 Second LLC and three entities established during the second quarter of 2018 to facilitate potential future Section 1031 Exchanges. At September 30, 2018, the Operating Partnership was determined to be the primary beneficiary of these five VIEs since the Operating Partnership had the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact each of the VIE’s economic performance. As of September 30, 2018, the five VIEs’ total assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests included on our consolidated balance sheet were approximately $828.3 million (of which $753.8 million related to real estate held for investment), approximately $86.2 million and approximately $187.6 million, respectively. Revenues, income and net assets generated by 100 First LLC and 303 Second LLC may only be used to settle their contractual obligations, which primarily consist of operating expenses, capital expenditures and required distributions.

At December 31, 2017, the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the Operating Partnership included two VIEs in which we were deemed to be the primary beneficiary: 100 First LLC and 303 Second LLC. At December 31, 2017, the impact of consolidating the VIEs increased the Company’s total assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests on our consolidated balance sheet by approximately $426.5 million (of which $382.1 million related to real estate held for investment), approximately $27.3 million and approximately $175.4 million, respectively.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted January 1, 2018

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) ASU No. 2014-09 “Revenue From Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)” (“ASU 2014-09”) and the related FASB ASU Nos. 2016-12 and 2016-20, which provide practical expedients, technical corrections, and improvements for certain aspects of ASU 2014-09, on a modified retrospective basis. ASU 2014-09 establishes a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue from contracts with customers and supersedes most of the existing revenue recognition guidance.

We evaluated each of the Company’s revenue streams to determine the sources of revenue that are impacted by ASU 2014-09 and concluded that two revenue streams, sales of real estate and revenue from our multi-tenant parking arrangements, fall within the scope of Topic 606. We evaluated the impact of the adoption of the guidance on the timing of gain recognition for our historical dispositions and concluded there was no significant impact to our consolidated financial statements given the straight forward nature of our historical disposition transactions. We also evaluated the impact of the guidance on the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for our multi-tenant parking arrangements and determined there was no significant impact to our consolidated financial statements. We generally provide parking for our multi-tenant properties based on the prevailing market rate per parking space, which adjusts based on prevailing market rates during the tenant’s occupancy, and we recognize parking revenue as parking spaces are utilized by the tenant. Given the structure of these arrangements whereby the amount of parking revenue we recognize corresponds directly to the tenant’s use, we were able to apply the practical expedient provided in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606-10-50-14(b) (the “right to invoice” practical expedient). As a result of applying this practical expedient, we are not required to disclose the transaction price allocated to future performance obligations for multi-tenant parking since we cannot predict or estimate the use of such parking spaces. During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we recognized $6.7 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of parking revenue for arrangements that are within the scope of Topic 606, which is included in rental revenues on our consolidated statements of operations. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, we recognized $20.2 million and $20.3 million, respectively, of parking revenue for arrangements that are within the scope of Topic 606, which is included in rental revenues on our consolidated statements of operations. We concluded that the adoption of Topic 606 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or a material impact on the notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2017-09 “Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718)” on a prospective basis. Under the guidance, an entity will not apply modification accounting to a share-based payment award if the award’s fair value, vesting conditions, and classification as an equity or liability instrument remain the same immediately before and after the change. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2017-05 “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20)” (“ASU 2017-05”) on a retrospective basis. This standard clarifies the scope of the original guidance within Subtopic 610-20 “Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets” that was issued in connection with ASU 2014-09 which provided guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in transactions with noncustomers. Additionally, ASU 2017-05 adds guidance pertaining to the partial sales of real estate and clarifies that nonfinancial assets within the scope of ASC 610-20 may include nonfinancial assets transferred within a legal entity to a counterparty. For example, a parent may transfer control of nonfinancial assets by transferring ownership interests in a consolidated subsidiary. We evaluated the impact of the new amendments on our historical transactions and concluded that there was no impact. As such, the adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-15 (“ASU 2016-15”) which provides guidance where there is diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows, on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements.

Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted FASB ASU No. 2016-01 (“ASU 2016-01”) which amends the accounting guidance on the classification and measurement of financial instruments and FASB ASU No. 2018-03 (“ASU 2018-03”) which provides technical corrections and improvements to ASU 2016-01, on a modified retrospective basis. The amendments require that all investments in equity securities, including other ownership interests, are reported at fair value with changes in fair value reported in net income. This requirement does not apply to investments that qualify for equity method accounting or to those that result in consolidation of the investee or for which the entity has elected the predictability exception to fair value measurement. Additionally, the amendments require that the portion of the total fair value change caused by a change in instrument-specific credit risk for financial liabilities for which the fair value option has been elected would be recognized in other comprehensive income. Any accumulated amount remaining in other comprehensive income is reclassified to earnings when the liability is extinguished. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements since our only financial instruments within the scope of ASU 2016-01 and 2018-03 are the marketable securities related to our deferred compensation plan which are classified as trading securities and marked to market at fair value through earnings each reporting period.

Accounting Pronouncements Effective January 1, 2019

ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)”

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02 “Leases (Topic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”) to amend the accounting guidance for leases. The accounting applied by a lessor is largely unchanged under ASU 2016-02. However, the standard requires lessees to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities for leases classified as operating leases on the balance sheet. Lessees will recognize in the statement of financial position a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset representing its right to use the underlying asset for the lease term. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, a lessee is permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset not to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities. If a lessee makes this election, it will recognize lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted.

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-11 which (1) simplifies transition requirements for both lessees and lessors by adding an option that permits an organization to apply the transition provisions of the new standard at its adoption date instead of at the earliest comparative period presented in its financial statements and (2) provides a practical expedient for lessors that permits lessors to make an accounting policy election to not separate nonlease components from the associated lease components, if the following two criteria are met: (1) the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and nonlease components are the same and (2) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if accounted for separately. For leases where we are the lessor, we plan to elect the optional transition relief and apply the practical expedients provided by ASU 2018-11. As a result, leases where we are the lessor will be accounted for in a similar method to existing standards with the underlying leased asset being reported and recognized as a real estate asset.

In August 2018, the FASB released an exposure draft to amend ASU 2016-02 that clarifies lessor treatment of sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from lessees, lessor costs paid directly by lessees and recognition of variable payments for contracts with lease and nonlease components. If the amendments are codified as currently drafted, we do not expect the amendments to have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-02 also specifies that upon adoption, lessors will no longer be able to capitalize and amortize certain leasing related costs and instead will only be permitted to capitalize and amortize incremental direct leasing costs. As a result, we have concluded that upon the adoption of the standard, we will be required to expense as incurred certain leasing costs we are currently able to capitalize and amortize as deferred leasing costs under existing guidance. We continue to evaluate the impact of this change in the guidance and we currently expect this change will have a material impact to the Company’s consolidated financial statements and results of operations upon adoption of the standard on January 1, 2019.

For leases where we are the lessee, specifically for our ground leases, the adoption of the standard will significantly change the accounting on our consolidated balance sheets since both existing ground leases and any future ground leases will be required to be recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as an obligation of the Company. Existing ground leases executed before the January 1, 2019 adoption date will continue to be accounted for as operating leases and the new guidance will not have a material impact on our recognition of ground lease expense or our results of operations. However, we will be required to recognize a right of use asset and a lease liability on our consolidated balance sheets equal to the present value of the minimum lease payments required in accordance with each ground lease. As of September 30, 2018, our future undiscounted minimum rental payments under these leases totaled $248.6 million, with several of the leases containing provisions for rental payments to fluctuate based on fair market value and operating income measurements with expirations through 2093. In addition, we currently believe that for new ground leases entered into after the adoption date of the new standard, such leases could be required to be accounted for as financing type leases, resulting in ground lease expense recorded using the effective interest method instead of on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. This could have a significant impact on our results of operations if we enter into material new ground leases after the date of adoption since ground lease expense calculated using the effective interest method results in an increased amount of ground lease expense in the earlier years of a ground lease as compared to the current straight-line method.

Accounting Pronouncements Effective in 2020 and Beyond

ASU No. 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326)”

On June 16, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (“ASU 2016-13”) to amend the accounting for credit losses for certain financial instruments. Under the new guidance, an entity recognizes its estimate of expected credit losses as an allowance, which the FASB believes will result in more timely recognition of such losses. In August 2018, the FASB released an exposure draft to amend ASU 2016-03. The proposed amendment would clarify that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20 “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses.” Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for under Subtopic 842-30 “Leases – Lessor.” ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company does not currently anticipate that the guidance will have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements or notes to the consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2018-13 “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)”

On August 28, 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13 (“ASU 2018-13”) to amend the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The amendments in ASU 2018-13 include new, modified and eliminated disclosure requirements and are the result of a broader disclosure project called FASB Concepts Statement, Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting - Chapter 8: Notes to Financial Statements, which the Board finalized on August 28, 2018. The Board used the guidance in the Concepts Statement to improve the effectiveness of ASC 820’s disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for any eliminated or modified disclosures. The Company currently anticipates that the guidance will not have a significant impact on the disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

ASU No. 2018-15 “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)”

On August 29, 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15 (“ASU 2018-15”) to amend a customer’s accounting for implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). ASU 2018-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. ASU 2018-15 can be applied either retrospectively or prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2018-15 on the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements.
