EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2019 of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “our Company” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “our operating partnership” or “the operating partnership” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the sole general partner of our operating partnership. As of September 30, 2019, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. owned approximately 99.2% of the ownership interest in our operating partnership (including unvested restricted units). The remaining approximately 0.8% interest was owned by certain of our executive officers, directors and outside investors, including unvested operating partnership performance units. As the sole general partner of our operating partnership, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for our operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and the operating partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:

•enhancing investors’ understanding of our Company and our operating partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

•eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosures apply to both our Company and our operating partnership; and

•creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

There are a few differences between our Company and our operating partnership, which are reflected in the disclosures in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between our Company and our operating partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is a REIT, the only material assets of which are the units of partnership interest in our operating partnership. As a result, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of our operating partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of our operating partnership. Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. itself does not issue any indebtedness but guarantees some of the debt of our operating partnership. Our operating partnership, which is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity, holds substantially all of the assets of our Company and conducts substantially all of our business. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., which are generally contributed to our operating partnership in exchange for units of partnership interest in our operating partnership, our operating partnership generates the capital required by our Company’s business through its operations, its incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of units of partnership interest in our operating partnership.

Non-controlling interest, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of our Company and those of our operating partnership. The common units in our operating partnership are accounted for as partners’ capital in our operating partnership’s consolidated financial statements and, to the extent not held by our Company, as a non-controlling interest in our Company’s consolidated financial statements. The differences between stockholders’ equity, partners’ capital and non-controlling interest result from the differences in the equity issued by our Company and our operating partnership.

To help investors understand the significant differences between our Company and our operating partnership, this report presents the consolidated financial statements and Note 15—Earnings Per Share separately for our Company and our operating partnership. All other sections of this report, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, are presented together for our Company and our operating partnership.

In order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that our Company and our operating partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act and 18 U.S.C. §1350, this report also includes separate Part I, Item 4 “Controls and Procedures” sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and our operating partnership.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and the operating partnership are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“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. References to number of properties, square feet and credit rating are not covered by the auditor’s review procedures.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2019. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. and the notes thereto.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, the operating partnership and all wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the operating partnership include the accounts of the operating partnership and all wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage, share and unit data)

Under the consolidation guidance, the Company first evaluates an entity using the variable interest model, then the voting model. The Company ultimately consolidates all entities that the Company controls through either majority ownership or voting rights, including all variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The Company accounts for all other unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. In addition, the Company continually evaluates each legal entity that is not wholly owned for reconsideration based on changing circumstances.

VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have:

•the characteristics of a controlling financial interest;

•sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; and/or

•the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights.

The entity that consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has determined its operating partnership and five joint ventures met the definition of a VIE. Four of the joint ventures are consolidated and one of the joint ventures is unconsolidated.

Consolidated Joint Ventures

As of September 30, 2019, the operating partnership has determined that four of its joint ventures met the definition of a VIE and are consolidated:

Entity	Property	Ownership Interest
Hudson 1455 Market, L.P.	1455 Market	55.0	%
Hudson 1099 Stewart, L.P.	Hill7	55.0	%
HPP-MAC WSP, LLC	One Westside and 10850 Pico	75.0	%
Hudson One Ferry REIT, L.P.	Ferry Building	55.0	%

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company has determined that its operating partnership met the definition of a VIE and is consolidated.

Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are related to the operating partnership VIE.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of one joint venture. Due to its significant influence over the unconsolidated entity, the Company accounts for the entity using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company initially records the investment at cost and subsequently adjusts for equity in earnings or losses and cash contributions and distributions.

On June 5, 2019, the Company purchased, pursuant to a co-ownership agreement with Blackstone, the Bentall Centre property located in Vancouver, Canada. The joint venture property-owning entity is structured as a tenancy in common under applicable tax laws. The Company owns 20% of this joint venture and serves as the operating partner. The Company’s net equity investment of this unconsolidated entity is reflected within investment in unconsolidated real estate entity on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s share of net income or loss from the entity is included within loss from unconsolidated real estate investments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to note 4 for details.

On June 16, 2016, the Company entered into a joint venture to co-originate a loan secured by land in Santa Clara, California. The Company owned 21% of the unconsolidated non-real estate entity. In the third quarter of 2019, the joint venture was dissolved. The Company’s net equity investment in the unconsolidated joint venture was $0.0 and $86 thousand as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, which is reflected within prepaid expenses and other assets, net line item on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing and assessing the carrying values of its real estate properties, determining the incremental borrowing rate used in the present value calculations of its new or modified operating lessee agreements, its accrued liabilities and its performance-based equity compensation awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.

Lease Accounting

In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance codified in ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which amends the guidance in former ASC 840, Leases (“ASC 840”). The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease agreement (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach that must be applied for leases that exist or are entered into after January 1, 2019.

ASC 842 requires companies to identify lease and non-lease components of a lease agreement. Lease components relate to the right to use the leased asset whereas non-lease components relate to payments for goods or services that are transferred separately from the right to use the underlying asset.

ASC 842 provides transition practical expedients that must be elected together, which allows relief from the requirement to (i) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (ii) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases that are in effect as of the date of adoption. The guidance also permits an entity to elect a practical expedient that provides relief from the requirement to assess whether an existing or expired land easement that was not previously accounted for as a lease under ASC 840 is considered a lease under ASC 842. For lessors, the guidance provides for a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to elect a combined single lease component presentation if (i) the timing and pattern of the transfer of the combined single lease component is the same, and (ii) the related lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease.

The Company elected the practical expedients above. The lessor practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components was elected only for the Company’s leases related to the office properties. For the Company’s studio properties, the timing and pattern of the transfer of the lease components and non-lease components for studio properties are not the same and therefore the Company could not elect this practical expedient for the Company’s studio properties. The standalone selling price related to the studio non-lease components is readily available and does not require estimates.

Lessee Accounting

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company’s operating lease agreements relate to ground lease assets and are reflected in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

19

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage, share and unit data)

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company determines its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date, or the date of the ASC 842 adoption, in determining the present value of lease payments. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate used to calculate the ROU assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2019 was 5.7%. ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Many of the Company’s lessee agreements include options to extend the lease, which we do not include in its minimum lease terms unless the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. Rental expense for lease payments related to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The weighted average remaining lease term, as of September 30, 2019, was 32 years.

Lessor Accounting

As a lessor, the Company’s recognition of revenue remained consistent with previous guidance, apart from the narrower definition of initial direct costs that can be capitalized. With the election of the lessor practical expedient, the presentation of revenues on the Consolidated Statement of Operations has changed to reflect a single lease component that combines rental, tenant recoveries, and other tenant-related revenues for the office portfolio. For the Company’s rentals at the studio properties, total lease consideration is allocated to lease and non-lease components on a relative standalone basis. The recognition of revenues related to lease components is governed by ASC 842, while revenue related to non-lease components is subject to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).

The new standard defines initial direct costs as only the incremental costs of signing a lease. Internal direct compensation costs and external legal fees related to the execution of successful lease agreements that no longer meet the definition of initial direct costs under ASC 842 are accounted for as office operating expense or studio operating expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, the Company may elect the practical expedients only for leases that have commenced before the effective date of the adoption of ASC 842. As a result of the adoption, the Company recognized $1.8 million as a cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit for costs associated with leases that have not commenced as of January 1, 2019, that were previously capitalized and no longer meet the definition of initial direct costs in accordance with ASC 842. The Company recognized $0.3 million as cumulative adjustments to accumulated deficit related to other transition adjustments.

Revenue Recognition

The Company has compiled an inventory of its sources of revenues and has identified the following material revenue streams: (i) rental revenues (ii) tenant recoveries and other tenant-related revenues (iii) ancillary revenues (iv) other revenues and (v) sale of real estate.

Revenue Stream	Components	Financial Statement Location(1)
Rental revenues	Office rentals, stage rentals and storage rentals	Office and studio segments: rental
Tenant recoveries and other tenant-related revenues	Reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, other operating expenses and must-take parking revenues	Office segment: rental Studio segment: rental and service revenues and other
Ancillary revenues	Revenues derived from tenants’ use of lighting, equipment rental, power, HVAC and telecommunications (i.e., telephone and internet)	Studio segment: service revenues and other
Other revenues	Parking revenue that is not associated with lease agreements, management fees, and other	Office and studio segments: service revenues and other
Sale of real estate	Gains on sales derived from cash consideration less cost basis	Gains on sale of real estate

1.The financial statement locations stated above are for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, after the adoption of ASC 842, and do not reflect the locations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

The Company’s 2018 rental revenues are accounted for under ASC 840. The Company continues to recognize rental revenue from tenants on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is probable and the tenant has taken possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage, share and unit data)

The Company recognizes tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period during which the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recognized and presented gross, as the Company is generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier and bears the associated credit risk.

Other tenant-related revenues includes parking stipulated in lease agreements as must-take parking rentals. These revenues are recognized over the term of the lease.

Ancillary revenues and other revenues have been accounted for under ASC 606 since the Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. These revenues have single performance obligations and are recognized at the point in time when services are rendered.

The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue streams that are accounted for under ASC 606:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Ancillary revenues	$	7,505	$	6,135	$	19,473	$	15,541

Studio-related tenant recoveries(1)	$	9	N/A

_________________

1.Studio-related tenant recoveries are accounted for under ASC 606 effective January 1, 2019.

In regards to sale of real estate, the Company applies certain recognition and measurement principles in accordance with ASC 606. The Company is required to evaluate the sales of real estate based on transfer of control. If a real estate sale contract includes ongoing involvement with the sold property by the seller, the seller must evaluate each promised good or service under the contract to determine whether it represents a performance obligation, constitutes a guarantee or prevents the transfer of control. The timing and pattern of revenue recognition might change as it relates to gains on sale of real estate if the sale includes continued involvement that represents a separate performance obligation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). The following ASUs were adopted by the Company in 2019:

Standard	Description	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) ASU 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements ASU 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842	Issued on February 5, 2016, ASU 2016-02 amends the accounting guidance for leases and sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease agreement (i.e., lessees and lessors).	The Company adopted ASC 842 during the first quarter of 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method with a cumulative adjustment to accumulated deficit. Refer to Lease Accounting section above for details.
ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes	The amendments in this update permits use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815 in addition to the UST, the LIBOR swap rate, the OIS rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate, and the SIFMA Municipal Swap Rate.	The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2019 using the prospective approach. The adoption did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements since LIBOR is still in use, however, this is expected to have an impact in later periods once SOFR is adopted.
ASU 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force)	The amendment allows for capitalization of implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract.	The Company early adopted this guidance during the third quarter of 2019 using the prospective approach. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
ASU 2018-02, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income	The amendments in this update allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Consequently, the amendments eliminate the stranded tax effects resulting from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and will improve the usefulness of information reported to financial statement users. However, because the amendments only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the underlying guidance that requires that the effect of a change in tax laws or rates be included in income from continuing operations is not affected. The amendments in this Update also require certain disclosures about stranded tax effects.	The Company adopted this guidance during the first quarter of 2019 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other Recently Issued ASUs

The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. The following table lists the recently issued ASUs that have not been disclosed in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and have not been adopted by the Company. The list excludes those ASUs that are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Standard	Description	Effective Date	Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Targeted Transition Relief	The amendments in this update provide an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option for certain financial assets previously measured at amortized cost basis. For those entities, the targeted transition relief will increase comparability of financial statement information by providing an option to align measurement methodologies for similar financial assets. Furthermore, the targeted transition relief also may reduce the costs for some entities to comply with the amendments in Update 2016-13 while still providing financial statement users with decision-useful information.	For entities that have not yet adopted the amendments in Update 2016-13, the effective date and transition methodology for the amendments in this Update are the same as in Update 2016-13. Therefore, they are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years.	The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update.
ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments	The FASB amended its standards on credit losses, hedging, and recognizing and measuring financial instruments to clarify them and address implementation issues.	The adoption dates and methods are as follows per topic: ASC 326 - the effective dates and transition requirements are the same as the effective dates and transition requirements in ASU 2016-13. Therefore, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15 2019, including interim periods within those years. ASC 815 - the effective date is as of the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning after April 25, 2019. Prospective and retrospective adoption methods are allowed. ASC 825 - the effective date is for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. A modified-retrospective transition basis is required by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance in the statement of financial position as of the date an entity adopted all of the amendments in ASU 2016-01. The amendments in this ASU related to equity securities without readily determinable fair values for which an entity elects the measurement alternative in accordance with paragraph 321-10-35-2 should be applied prospectively.	The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial instruments by requiring companies to recognize an allowance for expected losses, rather than incurred losses as required currently by the other-than-temporary impairment model. The accounting standard will apply to our non-real-estate investments and the Company’s receivables related to service revenues. This standard applies to net investments in leases resulting from sales-type or direct financing leases recognized by a lessor and does not apply to the receivables arising from operating leases, which are accounted for under ASC 842. The accounting standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted, and will be applied as a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. The effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will largely depend on the composition and credit quality of our financial investments and the economic conditions at the time of adoption.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company assesses the carrying value of real estate assets and related intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable in accordance with GAAP. Impairment losses are recorded on real estate assets held for investment when indicators of impairment are present and the future undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. The Company recognizes impairment losses to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, based on Level 1 or Level 2 inputs, less estimated costs to sell. The Company recorded $52.2 million of impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to the Campus Center office property. The Company’s estimated fair value was based on the sale price. The Company did not recognize additional impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The Company did not recognize impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

6. Receivables

The Company’s accounting policy and methodology used to estimate the allowance for doubtful accounts related to service revenues are discussed in the Company’s 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The Company’s accounting policy and methodology used to assess collectability related to rental revenues changed on January 1, 2019 when the Company adopted ASC 842. The guidance requires the Company to assess, at lease commencement and subsequently, collectability from its tenants of future lease payments. If the Company determines collectability is not probable, it recognizes an adjustment to lower income from rentals, whereas previously the Company recognized bad debt expense.

Accounts Receivable

As of September 30, 2019, accounts receivable was $15.5 million and there was an allowance for doubtful accounts of $0.1 million. As of December 31, 2018, accounts receivable was $16.5 million and there was an allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.5 million.

Straight-Line Rent Receivable

As of September 30, 2019, straight-line rent receivable was $182.0 million and there was no allowance for doubtful accounts. As of December 31, 2018, straight-line rent receivables was $142.4 million and there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.

1.The rate is based on the fixed rate from the interest rate swap and the spread based on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio.

In January 2019, the Company entered into a forward interest rate swap designated hedge. In February 2019, it was terminated, which resulted in a cash payment of approximately $1.6 million that was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be recognized over the life of the 4.65% registered senior notes entered into in February 2019 as an adjustment to interest expense. The cash payment is included in the payment of loan costs paid, net loan premium paid line item of the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

On January 1, 2018, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. As a result of the adoption, the Company is no longer recognizing unrealized gains or losses related to ineffective portions of its derivatives. In 2018, the Company recognized a $231 thousand cumulative-effect adjustment to other comprehensive income, with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (accumulated deficit).

11. Income Taxes

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2010. Provided it continues to qualify for taxation as a REIT, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is generally not subject to corporate level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders. The Company has elected, together with certain of its subsidiaries, to treat such subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes.

The Company’s property-owning subsidiaries are limited liability companies and are treated as pass-through entities or disregarded entities (or, in the case of the entities that own the 1455 Market, Hill7 and Ferry Building properties, REITs) for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the activities of these entities.

The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of September 30, 2019, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

The Company and its TRS file income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company and its TRS are no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2014. The Company has assessed its tax positions for all open years, which include 2014 to 2018, and concluded that there are no material uncertainties to be recognized.

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

•Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;

•Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

•Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

Other Financial Instruments 

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value, using Level 1 inputs, because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Fair value for investment in U.S. Government securities are estimates based on Level 1 inputs. Fair values for debt are estimated based on rates currently prevailing for similar instruments of similar maturities using Level 2 inputs.

14. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has various stock compensation arrangements, which are more fully described in the 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Under the 2010 Incentive Plan, as amended (“2010 Plan”), the Company’s board of directors (“Board”) has the ability to grant, among other things, restricted stock, restricted stock units, operating partnership performance units and performance-based awards.

The Board awards restricted shares to non-employee Board members on an annual basis as part of such Board members’ annual compensation and to newly elected non-employee Board members in accordance with the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. The time-based awards are generally issued in the second quarter, in conjunction with the director’s election to the Board, and the individual share awards vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which is three years.

The Board awards time-based restricted shares or time-based operating partnership performance units to certain employees on an annual basis as part of the employees’ annual compensation. These time-based awards are generally issued in the fourth quarter and vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which is generally three years. Additionally, certain awards are subject to a mandatory holding period upon vesting if the grantee is a named executive officer.

(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage, share and unit data)

In December 2015, the compensation committee of the Board (the “Compensation Committee”) awarded a one-time special retention award to certain executives. The grants consist of time-based awards and performance-based awards. The time-based awards vest in equal 25% installments over a four-year period, subject to the participant’s continued employment. The performance-based awards vest over a four-year period, subject to the achievement of applicable performance goals and the participant’s continued employment.

The Compensation Committee annually adopts a Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Outperformance Program (“OPP Plan”) under the 2010 Plan. With respect to OPP Plan awards granted through 2016, to the extent an award is earned following the completion of a three-year performance period, 50% of the earned award will vest in full at the end of the three-year performance period and 50% of the earned award will vest in equal annual installments over the two years thereafter, subject to the participant’s continued employment. OPP Plan awards are settled in common stock and, in the case of certain executives, in operating partnership performance units. Commencing with the 2017 OPP Plan, the two-year post-performance vesting period was replaced with a two-year mandatory holding period upon vesting. In February 2019, the Compensation Committee adopted the 2019 OPP Plan. The 2019 OPP Plan is substantially similar to the 2018 OPP Plan except for (i) the performance period beginning on January 1, 2019 and ending on December 31, 2021 and (ii) the maximum bonus pool is $28.0 million.

The per unit fair value of the grants from the 2019 OPP Plan was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions in the Monte Carlo valuation:

	Assumption
Expected price volatility for the Company	22.00%
Expected price volatility for the particular REIT index	18.00%
Risk-free rate	2.57%
Dividend yield	3.00%

The following table presents the classification and amount recognized for stock-based compensation related to the Company’s awards:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Expensed stock compensation(1)	$	5,176	$	4,292	$	15,393	$	12,919

15. Earnings Per Share

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.

The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company calculates diluted earnings per share by dividing the diluted net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive instruments outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method or the if-converted method, whichever is more dilutive. Unvested time-based restricted stock awards, unvested time-based performance unit awards and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

16. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest

Redeemable Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership

As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were 392,598 series A preferred units of partnership interest in the operating partnership, or series A preferred units, issued and outstanding, that are not owned by the Company. On April 16, 2018, 14,468 series A preferred units of partnership interest were redeemed for cash at a redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends to, but not including, the date of redemption.

These series A preferred units are entitled to preferential distributions at a rate of 6.25% per annum on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit and became convertible at the option of the holder into common units or redeemable into cash or, at the Company’s election, exchangeable for registered shares of common stock.

Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest in Consolidated Real Estate Entities

On March 1, 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Macerich WSP, LLC (“Macerich”) to form HPP-MAC WSP, LLC (“HPP-MAC JV”). On August 31, 2018, Macerich contributed Westside Pavilion to the HPP-MAC JV. The Company has a 75% interest in the joint venture that owns the One Westside and 10850 Pico properties. The Company has a put right, after a specified time, to sell its interest at fair market value. Macerich has a put right, after a specified time, to sell its interest at fair market value, which is a redemption right that is not solely within the control of the Company. The put right is not currently redeemable. Therefore, the non-controlling interest related to this joint venture is included as temporary equity. Once the redemption is probable, the carrying amount will be marked to market with the change in value reflected in additional paid-in capital.

On October 9, 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture with Allianz to purchase the Ferry Building property. The Company has a 55% interest in the joint venture that owns the Ferry Building property. The Company has a put right, if certain events occur, to sell its interest at fair market value. Allianz has a put right, if certain events occur, to sell its interest at fair market value, which is a redemption right that is not solely within the control of the Company. The put right is not currently redeemable. Therefore, the non-controlling interest related to this joint venture is included as temporary equity. Once the redemption is probable, the carrying amount will be marked to market with the change in value reflected in additional paid-in capital.

The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of redeemable non-controlling interests:

Non-Controlling Interests

Common Units in the Operating Partnership

Common units of the operating partnership and shares of common stock of the Company have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of the operating partnership. Investors who own common units have the right to cause the operating partnership to repurchase any or all of their common units for cash equal to the then-current market value of one share of common stock or, at the Company’s election, issue shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for common units on a one-for-one basis.

Performance Units in the Operating Partnership

Performance units are partnership interests in the operating partnership. Each performance unit awarded will be deemed equivalent to an award of one share of common stock under the 2010 Plan, reducing the availability for other equity awards on a one-for-one basis. Under the terms of the performance units, the operating partnership will revalue its assets for tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain specified events and any increase in valuation from the time of grant until such event will be allocated first to the holders of performance units to equalize the capital accounts of such holders with the capital accounts of common unitholders. Once vested and having achieved parity with common unitholders, performance units generally are convertible into common units in the operating partnership on a one-for-one basis.

Taxability of Dividends

Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders, may differ from income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal income tax purposes in the treatment of loss on extinguishment of debt, revenue recognition, compensation expense and the basis of depreciable assets and estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation.

18. Segment Reporting

The Company’s reporting segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting, which classifies its operations into two reporting segments: (i) office properties and (ii) studio properties. The Company evaluates performance based upon net operating income of the combined properties in each segment. General and administrative expenses and interest expense are not included in segment profit as its internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level. Asset information by segment is not reported because the Company does not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources, therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments.

The table below presents the operating activity of the Company’s reportable segments:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018

Management believes, based in part upon consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of all such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. As of September 30, 2019, the risk of material loss from such legal actions impacting the Company’s financial condition or results from operations has been assessed as remote.

Letters of Credit

As of September 30, 2019, the Company has outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $2.6 million under the unsecured revolving credit facility. The letters of credit are primarily related to utility company security deposit requirements.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion relates to our consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes, see Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.”, “Financial Statements of Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.” and “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.” Statements in this Item 2 contain forward-looking statements. For a discussion of forward-looking statements, important risks related to our business, and related to investing in our securities, including risks that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from results and events refer to the forward-looking statements section in this Item 2.

Forward-looking Statements

Certain written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to time by us or our representatives in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other filings or reports filed with the SEC, press releases, conferences, or otherwise, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act). In particular, statements relating to our liquidity and capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Furthermore, all of the statements regarding future financial performance (including anticipated funds from operations, or FFO, market conditions and demographics) are forward-looking statements. We are including this cautionary statement to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any such forward-looking statements. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or that management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which were based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends. Additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties is contained in our other periodic filings with the SEC.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, liquidity or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:

•adverse economic or real estate developments in our target markets;

•general economic conditions;

•defaults on, early terminations of or non-renewal of leases by tenants;

•fluctuations in interest rates and increased operating costs;

•our failure to obtain necessary outside financing or maintain an investment grade rating;

•our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness and maintain dividend payments;

•lack or insufficient amounts of insurance;

•decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;

•difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions;

•our failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations;

45

•our failure to maintain our status as a REIT;

•environmental uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters;

•financial market and foreign currency fluctuations;

•risks related to acquisitions generally, including the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and the impact on customers, tenants, lenders, operating results and business;

•the inability to successfully integrate acquired properties, realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or capitalize on value creation opportunities;

•the impact of changes in the tax laws as a result of recent federal tax reform legislation and uncertainty as to how some of those changes may be applied;

•changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates; and

•other factors affecting the real estate industry generally.

Additionally, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Financings

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, the outstanding borrowings on the unsecured revolving credit facility decreased by $320.0 million, net of draws. We use the unsecured revolving credit facility to finance the acquisition of other properties, to provide funds for tenant improvements, lease commissions and capital expenditures and to provide for working capital and other corporate purposes.

On February 27, 2019, our operating partnership completed an underwritten public offering of $350.0 million in senior notes due April 1, 2029. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discount, were approximately $343.0 million and were used to repay outstanding borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility and $75.0 million of the five-year term loan due November 17, 2020.

On March 1, 2019, we entered into a loan agreement to borrow up to $235.0 million on a revolving basis, secured by the Company’s Sunset Bronson Studios, ICON and CUE properties, maturing on March 1, 2024. We drew $5.0 million to pay down the Sunset Gower Studios/Sunset Bronson Studios construction loan that matured on March 4, 2019. The unused fee rate is 0.20%.

50

On June 14, 2019, our operating partnership completed an underwritten public offering of $150.0 million in senior notes due April 1, 2029. These notes were issued as additional notes under the indenture pursuant to which our operating partnership previously issued $350.0 million of 4.65% senior notes due 2029. The notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by us. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the underwriting discount and commissions, were approximately $155.3 million, $150.0 million of which were used by our operating partnership to repay outstanding borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

On October 3, 2019, the operating partnership completed an underwritten public offering of $400.0 million in senior notes due January 15, 2030. The notes were issued at 99.268% of par value, with a coupon of 3.25%. The net proceeds from the offering were used to repay the $300.0 million five-year term loan due April 1, 2020 and to pay down the remaining $80.0 million balance on the unsecured revolving credit facility.

Historical Results of Operations

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. represents an update to the more detailed and comprehensive disclosures included in the 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. Accordingly, you should read the following discussion in conjunction with the information included in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the unaudited financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In addition, some of the statements and assumptions in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act or Section 21E of the Exchange Act, including, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects as well as estimates of industry growth for the quarter and beyond. See “Forward-looking Statements.”

All amounts and percentages used in this discussion of our results of operations are calculated using the numbers presented in the financial statements contained in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report rather than the rounded numbers appearing in this discussion. The dollar amounts included in the tables in this discussion of our results of operations are presented in thousands.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

Net Operating Income

We evaluate performance based upon property net operating income (“NOI”). 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 net income, 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 net income. We calculate NOI as net income excluding corporate general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairments, gains/losses on sales of real estate, interest expense, interest income, transaction-related expenses and other non-operating items. We define NOI as operating revenues (including rental revenues, other property-related revenue, tenant recoveries and other operating revenues), less property-level operating expenses (which includes 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.

51

Management further analyzes NOI by evaluating the performance from the following property groups:

•Same-store properties, which includes all of the properties owned and included in our stabilized portfolio as of July 1, 2018 and still owned and included in the stabilized portfolio as of September 30, 2019; and

•Non-same-store properties, which includes:

•Stabilized non-same-store properties

•Lease-up properties

•Development properties

•Redevelopment properties

•Held for sale properties

The following table reconciles net income to NOI:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Dollar Change		Percent Change
	2019		2018
Net income	$	62,955	$	20,270	$	42,685	210.6	%

Rental Components

We adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach as of January 1, 2019 and elected to apply the transition method of the standard at the beginning of the period of adoption. As such, the prior period amounts presented under ASC 840 were not restated to conform with the 2019 presentation. As we elected the practical expedient in ASC 842, which allows us to avoid separating lease and non-lease rental income, all office rental income earned pursuant to tenant leases in 2019 is reflected as one line, “Rental,” in the 2019 Consolidated Statement of Operations and as a result we do not disclose tenant recoveries as a separate GAAP revenue measure. However, we believe that tenant recoveries are useful to investors as a supplemental measure of our ability to recover operating expenses, property taxes, insurance and other expenses. For our studio leases, we did not elect the lessor practical expedient to combine lease and non-lease components. Therefore, studio rentals includes property tax and insurance recoveries and all other recoveries are included in service revenues and other.

NOI increased $16.9 million, or 15.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2019 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily resulting from:

•$8.7 million increase in NOI from our same-store properties driven by:

•an increase in office NOI of $6.7 million primarily due to:

•$9.1 million increase in rental revenues primarily relating to leases signed at our 1455 Market (Square, Inc. and WeWork Companies Inc.), ICON (Netflix extension), Rincon Center (Twilio Inc.), Concourse (Nutanix, Inc. and VitalConnect), 6040 Sunset (Technicolor extension) and Towers at Shore Center (Poshmark, Inc.) properties at a higher rate than expiring leases; and

•$2.3 million increase in tenant recoveries primarily relating to increased activity at our 1455 Market, Palo Alto Square, Rincon Center and Clocktower Square properties;

•partially offset by $4.1 million increase in operating expenses primarily relating to an increase in property tax expense and ground lease expense across the portfolio.

•an increase in studio NOI of $2.0 million primarily due to:

•$1.5 million increase in rental revenues primarily relating to an overall increase in occupancy and higher rental rates at our studios;

•$0.4 million increase in tenant recoveries primarily relating to an increase in operating expenses;

•$0.9 million increase in service revenues and other primarily resulting from increased production activity at our studios related to the increase in our tenant mix from streaming providers (rather than traditional network broadcasters); and

•partially offset by $0.9 million increase in operating expenses primarily relating to increased staffing for security, operating grounds and engineering;

•$8.2 million increase in NOI from our non-same-store properties driven by:

•overall increase in office NOI of $8.2 million primarily due to:

•$11.8 million increase in rental revenues primarily relating to:

55

•our acquisition of 10850 Pico (August 2018) and Ferry Building (October 2018) properties, partially offset by the sale of our Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties; and

•leases signed at our 11601 Wilshire (various leasing), Fourth and Traction (Honey Science Corp), Gateway (EPAM Systems, Inc. and Holder Construction Company), Maxwell (WeWork Companies, Inc.) and Metro Plaza (Nutanix, Inc.) properties at a higher rate than expiring leases.

•$1.4 million increase in tenant recoveries primarily relating to:

•our acquisition of 10850 Pico (August 2018) and Ferry Building (October 2018) properties, partially offset by the sale of our Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties; and

•an increase in occupancy at our Gateway and Maxwell properties.

•partially offset by $5.6 million increase in operating expenses primarily relating to:

•our acquisition of 10850 Pico (August 2018) and Ferry Building (October 2018) properties, partially offset by the sale of our Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties; and

Other Expenses (Income)

Interest Expense

The following table presents a reconciliation from the gross interest expense to the amount on the interest expense line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:

	Three Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		Dollar Change		Percent Change
Gross interest expense	$	29,536	$	22,136	$	7,400	33.4	%
Capitalized interest	(4,334)		(3,439)		(895)		26.0
Amortization of deferred financing costs and loan discounts/premiums	1,388		1,434		(46)		(3.2)
TOTAL	$	26,590	$	20,131	$	6,459	32.1	%

Gross interest expense increased by $7.4 million, or 33.4%, to $29.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $22.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by assumed debt associated with One Westside and 10850 Pico (August 2018) properties and joint venture partner debt related to our Ferry Building (October 2018) property and our 4.65% registered senior notes (February and June 2019) issued at a higher interest rate than debt repaid with the proceeds.

Capitalized interest increased by $0.9 million, or 26.0%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $3.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by our One Westside redevelopment property, partially offset by recently completed redevelopment and development properties.

Gains on Sale of Real Estate

We generated $47.1 million gains on sale of real estate for three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $3.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018, which resulted from the sale of our Campus Center (July 2019) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties, respectively.

56

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include wages and salaries for corporate-level employees, accounting, legal and other professional services, office supplies, entertainment, travel and automobile expenses, telecommunications and computer-related expenses and other miscellaneous items. General and administrative expenses increased $3.4 million, or 23.7%, to $17.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $14.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The change was primarily attributable to the adoption of the 2019 Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Outperformance Program, an increase in staffing to meet operational needs and an increase in travel and entertainment expenses. Additionally, we adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, which resulted in more payroll being expensed rather than capitalized to deferred leasing costs. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in shareholder relations costs.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $7.6 million, or 12.1%, to $69.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $62.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily related to our acquisition of the Ferry Building (October 2018) and recently completed redevelopment and development properties. The increase was partially offset by the sale of our Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) property.

Gross interest expense	$	85,981	$	66,081	$	19,900	30.1	%
Capitalized interest	(12,911)		(10,643)		(2,268)		21.3

TOTAL	$	77,492	$	59,965	$	17,527	29.2	%

Gross interest expense increased by $19.9 million, or 30.1%, to $86.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $66.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by assumed debt associated with One Westside and 10850 Pico (August 2018) properties and joint venture partner debt related to our Ferry Building (October 2018) property and our 4.65% registered senior notes (February and June 2019) issued at a higher interest rate than debt repaid with the proceeds.

Capitalized interest increased $2.3 million, or 21.3%, to $12.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $10.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily driven by our One Westside redevelopment property and our EPIC and Harlow development properties, partially offset by recently completed redevelopment and development properties.

Gains on Sale of Real Estate

We generated $47.1 million gains on sale of real estate for nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $43.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018, which resulted from the sale of our Campus Center (July 2019), Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2600 Campus Drive (January 2018), 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018), 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include wages and salaries for corporate-level employees, accounting, legal and other professional services, office supplies, entertainment, travel and automobile expenses, telecommunications and computer-related expenses and other miscellaneous items. General and administrative expenses increased $8.1 million, or 17.5%, to $54.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $46.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change was primarily attributable to the adoption of the 2019 Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Outperformance Program, an increase in staffing to meet operational needs and an increase in travel and entertainment expenses. Additionally, we adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, which resulted in more payroll being expensed rather than capitalized to deferred leasing costs. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in shareholder relations costs.

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $24.4 million, or 13.3%, to $207.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $183.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase was primarily related to our acquisition of the Ferry Building (October 2018) and recently completed redevelopment and development properties. The increase was partially offset by the sale of our Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) property.

Impairment Loss

We recorded $52.2 million of impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to our Campus Center office property. Our estimated fair value was based on the sale price. We did not recognize additional impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2019. We did not recognize impairment charges during the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have remained capitalized since our initial public offering through public offerings, private placements and continuous offerings under our ATM program. We currently expect that our principal sources of funds to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements for working capital, strategic acquisitions, capital expenditures, tenant improvements, leasing costs, dividends and distributions, share repurchases and repayments of outstanding debt financing will include:

•cash on hand, cash reserves and net cash provided by operations;

•proceeds from additional equity securities;

•our ATM program;

•borrowings under the operating partnership’s unsecured revolving credit facility and Sunset Bronson Studios/ICON/CUE revolving credit facility; and

•proceeds from additional secured, unsecured debt financings or offerings.

63

Liquidity Sources

We had $56.8 million of cash and cash equivalents at September 30, 2019. Our principal source of operating cash flow is related to leasing and operating the properties in our portfolio. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, service our debt and fund quarterly dividend and distribution requirements.

Our ability to access the equity capital markets will depend on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about us.

We have an ATM program that allows us to sell up to $125.0 million of common stock, $20.1 million of which has been sold through September 30, 2019. Any future sales will depend on several factors, including, but not limited to, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and our capital needs. We have no obligation to sell the remaining shares available for sale under this program. The Company did not utilize the ATM program during the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

As of September 30, 2019, we had total borrowing capacity of $600.0 million under our unsecured revolving credit facility, $80.0 million of which had been drawn. As of September 30, 2019, we had total borrowing capacity of $235.0 million secured by our Sunset Bronson Studios/ICON/CUE properties, $5.0 million of which had been drawn.

Our ability to incur additional debt will depend on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase.

The following table sets forth our ratio of debt to total consolidated market capitalization (counting series A preferred units as debt) as of September 30, 2019:

	September 30, 2019
Unsecured and secured debt(1)	$	2,744,960
Series A preferred units	9,815
Total consolidated debt	2,754,775
Common equity capitalization(2)	5,270,103
TOTAL CONSOLIDATED MARKET CAPITALIZATION	$	8,024,878
Total consolidated debt/total consolidated market capitalization	34.3		%

_____________

1.Excludes in-substance defeased debt, joint venture partner debt and unamortized deferred financing costs and loan discounts/premiums.

2.Common equity capitalization represents the shares of common stock (including unvested restricted shares), OP units outstanding, restricted performance units and dilutive shares multiplied by the closing price of our stock of $33.46, as reported by the NYSE, as of September 30, 2019.

Outstanding Indebtedness

The following table sets forth information as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 with respect to our outstanding indebtedness (excluding unamortized deferred financing costs and loan discounts/premiums):

	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Unsecured debt	$	2,380,000	$	2,275,000
Secured debt	$	364,960	$	365,381
In-substance defeased debt	$	135,846	$	138,223
Joint venture partner debt	$	66,136	$	66,136

The operating partnership was in compliance with its financial covenants as of September 30, 2019.

Credit Rating

In October 2019, Moody’s Investors Service upgraded the Company’s long-term corporate credit rating from Baa3 to Baa2, with a stable outlook.

Liquidity Uses

Contractual Obligations

During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the information regarding specified contractual obligations contained in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. See Part I, Item 1 “Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements—Debt” for information regarding our minimum future principal payments due on our outstanding debt. See Part I, Item 1 “Note 11 to our Consolidated Financial Statements—Future Minimum Rents and Lease Payments” for information regarding our future minimum ground lease payments. See Part I, Item 1 “Note 7 to our Consolidated Financial Statements—Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, net” for additional contingencies.

Cash Flows

A comparison of our cash flow activity is as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		Dollar Change		Percent Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	233,600	$	197,880	$	35,720	18.1	%
Net cash used in investing activities	$	(207,246)	$	(57,254)	$	(149,992)	262.0	%
Net cash used in financing activities	$	(25,206)	$	(178,668)	$	153,462	(85.9)	%

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were $69.3 million and $68.2 million at September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $35.7 million, or 18.1%, to $233.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $197.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change resulted primarily from higher cash NOI related to our recent acquisitions and commencement of leases at Rincon Center (Twilio, Inc.), Palo Alto Square (Orbital Insight, Inc), Gateway (Lumenis, Inc. and Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority) properties, partially offset by lower cash rents due to the sale of our Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018), 9300 Wilshire (April 2018) and Peninsula Office Park (July 2018) properties.

Investing Activities

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $150.0 million, or 262.0%, to $207.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $57.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increase resulted primarily from lower proceeds from sales of real estate properties in 2019 ($147.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $454.5 million of proceeds from sales during the nine months ended September 30, 2018) and a contribution made to our unconsolidated entities in 2019, partially offset by $149.2 million spent on purchases of the U.S. Government securities and $71.2 million spent on property acquisitions during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to no such activity in 2019.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $153.5 million, or 85.9%, to $25.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 compared to $178.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The change resulted primarily from an increase in net proceeds from unsecured and secured debt, partially offset by a decrease in contributions to consolidated joint ventures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates of certain items and judgments as to certain future events, for example with respect to the assignment of the purchase price of an acquired property among land, buildings, improvements, equipment and any related intangible assets and liabilities, or the effect of a property tax reassessment of our properties. These determinations, even though inherently subjective and prone to change, affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. While we believe that our estimates are based on reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time they are made, some of our assumptions, estimates and judgments will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, actual outcomes will likely differ from our accruals and those differences—positive or negative—could be material. Some of our accruals are subject to adjustment, as we believe appropriate based on revised estimates and reconciliation to the actual results when available.

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 which resulted in changes to our critical accounting policy relating to lease accounting. Refer to Part I, Item 1 “Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” for information regarding our updated policies as a result of the adoption of ASC 842.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds From Operations

We calculate FFO in accordance with the White Paper issued in December 2018 on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding 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), adjusting for consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. The calculation of FFO includes amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. In the December 2018 White Paper, NAREIT, provided an option to include value changes in mark to market equity securities in the calculation of FFO. We elected this option, retroactively during the fourth quarter of 2018.

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. 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.
