Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Announces Third Quarter 2010

Financial Results

Los Angeles, CA, November 9, 2010 – Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: HPP) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2010.

Financial Results

For the third quarter of 2010, the Company reported a net loss attributable to shareholders of $0.2 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $0.1 million for the third quarter of 2009. Net loss attributable to shareholders for the first nine months of 2010 was $2.1 million, compared to net income attributable to common shareholders of $0.2 million in the first nine months of 2009.

Funds From Operations (FFO) for the three months ended September 30, 2010 totaled $4.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share.

“We entered the third quarter in a strong strategic position as we further deployed the net proceeds of our initial public offering to acquire new properties,” said Mr. Victor J. Coleman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “We were able to capitalize on many of the opportunities we are seeing while still maintaining capital flexibility and a low level of leverage. With more than $120 million of property acquisitions already announced or completed, we are on our way toward building a solid portfolio of quality assets.”

Combined Operating Results For The Three Months Ended September 30, 2010

Total revenue during the quarter increased 51.5% to $17.5 million from $11.6 million a year ago. The increase in total revenue was attributed to a $4.0 million increase in rental revenue to $11.8 million and a $1.4 million increase in other property-related revenue to $4.2 million.

Total operating expenses increased 65.3% to $15.5 million from $9.4 million a year ago. The increase in total operating expenses was primarily the result of a $2.4 million increase in general and administrative expenses, a $1.3 million increase in office operating expenses and a $0.9 million increase in media and entertainment operating expenses.

Income from operations was $2.0 million, compared to income from operations of $2.2 million a year ago.

Interest expense during the third quarter declined 20.0% from the same period of 2009 to $1.8 million.

Segment Operating Results For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2010

Office Properties

Total revenue at the Company’s office properties increased 120.6% to $7.6 million from $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2009. The increase was primarily the result of a $3.6 million increase in rental revenue to $6.5 million, which was largely attributable to improved occupancy and contributions from office properties acquired in connection with the Company’s initial public offering and acquired during the third quarter of 2010.


 

Office property operating expenses increased 83.2% to $2.8 million from $1.5 million a year ago.

At September 30, 2010, the Company’s office portfolio was 86.3% leased and 81.6% occupied. During the quarter, the Company renewed leases totaling 16,037 square feet.

Media and Entertainment Properties

Total revenue at the Company’s media and entertainment properties increased 22.0% to $9.9 million from $8.1 million in the third quarter of 2009. The increase was primarily the result of a $1.4 million increase in other property-related revenue.

Total media and entertainment expenses were $6.0 million, compared to $5.1 million in the same period a year ago.

As of September 30, 2010, the trailing 12-month occupancy for the Company’s media and entertainment portfolio reached 69.0%. For the month of September 2010, the media and entertainment portfolio was 76.5% leased.

Combined Operating Results For The Nine Months Ended September 30, 2010

For the first nine months of 2010, total revenue was $39.6 million, an increase of 16.6% from $33.9 million in the same period the prior year. Total operating expenses were $33.2 million, compared to $27.1 million in the same period a year ago. As a result, income from operations was $6.3 million, compared to income from operations of $6.8 million during the first nine months of 2009. Acquisition-related expense during the first nine months of 2010 was $2.7 million, with no comparable expense for the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to one-time transaction costs relating to the Company’s acquisition of properties in connection with its IPO and related formation transactions and properties acquired during the third quarter of 2010. Interest expense during the first nine months of 2010 declined 7.5% to $6.2 million from $6.7 million in the same period of 2009.

Balance Sheet

At September 30, 2010, the Company had real estate assets of $515.8 million, in addition to cash and cash equivalents of $40.7 million. At September 30, 2010, the Company had availability of approximately $75.0 million on its $200 million secured credit facility, which as of September 30, 2010 remained undrawn.

Acquisitions

On August 16, 2010, the Company acquired the 113,000 square foot, Del Amo office building (through the assumption of a ground lease) for a contract price of $27.5 million. On August 24, 2010, the Company acquired the 61,224 square foot, 9300 Wilshire Boulevard office building (through the assumption of a ground lease) for a contract price of $15.0 million. These acquisitions were funded with proceeds from the Company’s recently completed initial public offering, private placement, and formation transactions. The results of operations for each of these acquisitions are included in the Company’s financial results from the date of acquisition.

On October 6, 2010, the Company became obligated under a definitive purchase agreement to acquire an office building located at 10950 Washington Boulevard in Culver City, California (“10950 Washington”), for a contract price of $46.0 million. The purchase remains subject to closing costs and prorations and the assumption of a $30.0 million loan. The Company expects to fund the estimated $16.0 million balance of the purchase price with available cash or borrowings under its revolving credit facility. The closing of the acquisition is expected to take place by December 30, 2010, once all necessary approvals for the loan assumption have been received, though the Company cannot be assured the acquisition will be consummated on the anticipated schedule or at all.


 

On October 8, 2010, the Company acquired two office buildings comprising 144,440 square feet, located at 222 Kearny Street and 180 Sutter Street in San Francisco, California (collectively, “222 Kearny”), for a contract price of $34.9 million. The purchase price was funded with available cash and $34.5 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. A portion of the 222 Kearny Street building sits on a ground lease.

Dividend

During the third quarter of 2010, the Company’s Board of Directors declared two dividends on its common stock of $0.0021 per share for the period from June 29, 2010, to June 30, 2010, and $0.095 per share for the third quarter of 2010. Both dividends were paid on October 15, 2010, to stockholders of record on September 30, 2010.

Outlook

The Company is providing full year 2011 FFO guidance in the range of $0.82 to $0.86 per diluted share. This guidance includes the impact from the Del Amo office property, 9300 Wilshire property, 222 Kearny property, and 10950 Washington Boulevard office property acquisitions, including borrowings under our secured credit facility related thereto. Except as noted, this guidance excludes any impact from future acquisitions, dispositions, equity purchases, debt financings or repayments, recapitalizations, or similar matters.

Use of Non-GAAP Information

We calculate funds from operations before non-controlling interest (FFO) in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). FFO represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of above (below) market rents for acquisition properties and amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We use FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that results from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
