EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the annual reports on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2016
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
December 31, 2016
, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. owned approximately
93.6%
of the outstanding common units of partnership interest (including unvested restricted units) in our operating partnership, or common units. The remaining approximately
6.4%
of outstanding common units at
December 31, 2016
were owned by certain of our executive officers and directors, certain of their affiliates, and other outside investors, including funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) and Farallon Capital Management, LLC (“Farallon Funds”). On January 10, 2017, Blackstone and Farallon Funds sold their ownership interests in the Company and the operating partnership following the completion of a common stock offering and a common unit repurchase. Immediately following this transaction, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. owned approximately
99.6%
of the outstanding common units of partnership interest (including unvested restricted units) in our operating partnership, or common 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 annual reports on Form 10-K 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 disclosure applies 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 separately for our Company and our operating partnership. All other sections of this report, including “Selected Financial Data,” “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” are presented together for our Company and our operating partnership.
2
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 II, Item 9A “Controls and Procedures” sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and our operating partnership.

Company Overview
We are a vertically integrated real estate company focused on acquiring, repositioning, developing and operating high-quality office and state-of-the-art media and entertainment properties in high-growth, high-barrier-to-entry submarkets throughout Northern and Southern California and the Pacific Northwest. We invest across the risk-return spectrum, favoring opportunities where we can employ leasing, capital investment expertise to create additional value. As of
December 31, 2016
, our portfolio included office properties, comprising an aggregate of approximately
14.1 million
square feet, and media and entertainment properties, comprising approximately
0.9 million
square feet of sound-stage, office and supporting production facilities. We also own undeveloped density rights for approximately
2.5 million
square feet of future office and residential space.
We were formed as a Maryland corporation in 2009 to succeed to the business of Hudson Capital, LLC, a Los Angeles-based real estate investment firm founded by Victor J. Coleman, our Chief Executive Officer. On June 29, 2010, we completed our initial public offering (“IPO”). We own our interests in all of our properties and conduct substantially all of our business through our operating partnership, of which we serve as the sole general partner.
Business and Growth Strategies
We invest in Class-A office and media and entertainment properties located in high barrier-to-entry, innovation-centric submarkets with significant growth potential. Our positioning within these submarkets allows us to attract and retain quality, growth companies as tenants, many in the technology, media and entertainment sectors. The purchase of properties with a value-add component, typically through off-market transactions, also facilitates our growth. These types of assets afford us the opportunity to capture embedded rent growth and occupancy upside, and to strategically invest capital to reposition and redevelop assets to generate additional cash flow. We take a more measured approach to ground-up development, with most under construction, planned or potential projects located on ancillary sites part of existing operating assets. Management expertise across disciplines supports execution at all levels of the company’s operations. In particular, aggressive leasing and proactive asset management, combined with a focus on conservatively managing our balance sheet, are central to our strategy.
Our Competitive Position
We believe the following competitive strengths distinguish us from other real estate owners and operators and will enable us to capitalize on opportunities in the market to successfully expand and operate our portfolio.
|
•
|
Experienced Management Team with a Proven Track Record of Acquiring and Operating Assets and Managing a Public Office REIT
.
Our senior management team has an average of over
25
years of experience in the commercial real estate industry, with a focus on acquiring, repositioning, developing and operating office properties in Northern and Southern California and the Pacific Northwest.
|
|
•
|
Committed and Incentivized Management Team
.
Our senior management team is dedicated to our successful operation and growth, with no competing real estate business interests outside of our Company. Additionally, as of
December 31, 2016
, our senior management team owned approximately
1.4%
of our common stock on a fully diluted basis, thereby aligning management’s interests with those of our stockholders.
|
|
•
|
Northern and Southern California and the Pacific Northwest Focus with Local and Regional Expertise
.
We are primarily focused on acquiring and managing office properties in Northern and Southern California and the Pacific Northwest, where our senior management has significant expertise and relationships. Our markets are supply-constrained as a result of the scarcity of available land, high construction costs and restrictive entitlement processes. We believe our experience, in-depth market knowledge and meaningful industry relationships with brokers, tenants, landlords, lenders and other market participants enhance our ability to identify and capitalize on attractive acquisition opportunities, particularly those that arise in Northern and Southern California and the Pacific Northwest.
|
|
•
|
Long-Standing Relationships that Provide Access to an Extensive Pipeline of Investment and Leasing Opportunities
.
We have an extensive network of long-standing relationships with real estate developers, individual and institutional real estate owners, national and regional lenders, brokers, tenants and other
|
5
participants in the Northern and Southern California and Pacific Northwest real estate markets. These relationships have historically provided us with access to attractive acquisition opportunities, including opportunities with limited or no prior marketing by sellers. We believe they will continue to provide us access to an ongoing pipeline of attractive acquisition opportunities and additional growth capital, both of which may not be available to our competitors. Additionally, we focus on establishing strong relationships with our tenants in order to understand their long-term business needs, which we believe enhances our ability to retain quality tenants, facilitates our leasing efforts and maximizes cash flows from our properties.
|
•
|
Growth-Oriented, Flexible and Conservative Capital Structure
.
We have remained well-capitalized since our IPO, including through 11 offerings (including two public offerings of
8.375%
Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock, eight public offerings of our common stock and one private placement of our common stock) and continuous offering under our at-the-market, or ATM, program for aggregate total proceeds of approximately
$2.77 billion
(before underwriters’ discounts and transaction costs) as of
December 31, 2016
. Available cash on hand and our unsecured credit facility provide us with a significant amount of capital to pursue acquisitions and execute our growth strategy, while maintaining a flexible and conservative capital structure. As of
December 31, 2016
, we had total borrowing capacity of approximately
$400.0 million
under our unsecured revolving credit facility,
$300.0 million
of which had been drawn. Based on the closing price of our common stock of
$34.78
on
December 31, 2016
, we had a debt-to-market capitalization ratio (counting Series A preferred units in our operating partnership, or Series A preferred units, as debt) of approximately
34.5%
. We believe our access to capital and flexible and conservative capital structure provide us with an advantage over many of our private and public competitors as we look to take advantage of growth opportunities.
|
We have access to and are actively pursuing a pipeline of potential acquisitions consistent with our investment strategy. We believe our significant expertise in operating in the Northern and Southern California and Pacific Northwest office sectors and extensive, long-term relationships with real estate owners, developers and lenders, coupled with our conservative capital structure and access to capital, will allow us to capitalize on current market opportunities.
On April 1, 2015, we completed the acquisition of the EOP Northern California Portfolio (the “EOP Acquisition”) from certain affiliates of Blackstone. The EOP Acquisition consisted of
26
high-quality office assets totaling approximately
8.2
million square feet and two development parcels located throughout the San Francisco Peninsula, Redwood Shores, Palo Alto, Silicon Valley and North San Jose submarkets. The total consideration paid for the EOP Acquisition, before certain credits, prorations and closing costs, included a cash payment of
$1.75
billion and an aggregate of
63,474,791
shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and common units in our operating partnership. Following a common stock offering and common unit repurchase on January 10, 2017, Blackstone no longer holds an ownership interest in the Company or the operating partnership.
Competition
We compete with a number of developers, owners and operators of office and commercial real estate, many of which own properties similar to ours in the same markets in which our properties are located and some of which have greater financial resources than we do. In operating and managing our portfolio, we compete for tenants based on a number of factors, including location, rental rates, security, flexibility and expertise to design space to meet prospective tenants’ needs and the manner in which our properties are operated, maintained and marketed. As leases at our properties expire, we may encounter significant competition to renew or re-let space in light of competing properties within the markets in which we operate. As a result, we may be required to provide rent concessions or abatements, incur charges for tenant improvements and other inducements, including early termination rights or below-market renewal options, or we may not be able to timely lease vacant space. In that case, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows may be adversely affected.
We also face competition when pursuing acquisition and disposition opportunities. Our competitors may be able to pay higher property acquisition prices, may have private access to acquisition opportunities not available to us and may otherwise be in a better position to acquire a property. Competition may also increase the price required to consummate an acquisition opportunity and generally reduce the demand for commercial office space in our markets. Likewise, competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers may result in us receiving lower proceeds from a sale or in us not being able to dispose of a property at a time of our choosing due to the lack of an acceptable return.
For further discussion of the potential impact of competitive conditions on our business, see Item 1A “Risk Factors.”
6
Segment and Geographic Financial Information
We report our results of operations through two segments: (i) office properties and (ii) media and entertainment properties. As of
December 31, 2016
, the office properties reporting segment included
54
properties totaling approximately
14.1 million
square feet strategically located in many of our target markets, while the media and entertainment reporting segment included two properties, the Sunset Gower Studios property and the Sunset Bronson Studios property, totaling approximately
0.9 million
square feet located in the heart of Hollywood, California.
All of our business is conducted in Northern and Southern California and the Pacific Northwest. For information about our revenues and other financial information, see our consolidated financial statements included in this report and Part II, Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Results of Operations.”
Employees
At
December 31, 2016
, we had 257 employees. At
December 31, 2016
, two of our employees were subject to collective bargaining agreements. Both of these employees are on-site at the Sunset Bronson Studios property. We believe that relations with our employees are good.
Principal Executive Offices
Our principal executive offices are located at 11601 Wilshire Blvd., Ninth Floor, Los Angeles, California 90025 and our telephone number is (310) 445-5700. We believe that our current facilities are adequate for our present operations.
Regulation
General
Our properties are subject to various covenants, laws, ordinances and regulations, including regulations relating to common areas and fire and safety requirements. We believe that each of the properties in our portfolio has the necessary permits and approvals to operate its business.
Americans with Disabilities Act
Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act, or ADA, to the extent that such properties are “public accommodations” as defined by the ADA. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. We have developed and undertaken continuous capital improvement programs at certain properties in the past. These capital improvement programs will continue to progress and certain ADA upgrades will continue to be integrated into the planned improvements, specifically at the media and entertainment properties where we are able to utilize in-house construction crews to minimize costs for required ADA-related improvements. However, some of our properties may currently be in noncompliance with the ADA. Such noncompliance could result in the incurrence of additional costs to attain compliance, the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and to make alterations as appropriate in this respect.
Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, as a current or former owner or operator of real property, we may be liable for costs and damages resulting from the presence or discharge of hazardous or toxic substances, waste or petroleum products at, on, in, under, or migrating from such property, including costs to investigate and clean up such contamination and liability for natural resources. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such contamination, and the liability may be joint and several. These liabilities could be substantial and the cost of any required remediation, removal, fines, or other costs could exceed the value of the property and/or our aggregate assets. In addition, the presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination at our properties may expose us to third-party liability for costs of remediation and/or personal or property damage or materially adversely affect our ability to sell, lease or develop our properties or to borrow using the properties as collateral. In addition, environmental laws may create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs to address such contamination. Moreover, if contamination is discovered on our properties, environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures.
7
Some of our properties contain, have contained, or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain storage tanks for the storage of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Similarly, some of our properties were used in the past for commercial or industrial purposes, or are currently used for commercial purposes, that involve or involved the use of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances, or are adjacent to or near properties that have been or are used for similar commercial or industrial purposes. As a result, some of our properties have been or may be impacted by contamination arising from the release of such hazardous substances or petroleum products. Where we have deemed appropriate, we have taken steps to address identified contamination or mitigate risks associated with such contamination; however, we are unable to ensure that further actions will not be necessary. As a result of the foregoing, we could potentially incur material liabilities.
Independent environmental consultants have conducted Phase I Environmental Site Assessments at all of the properties in our portfolio using the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) Practice E 1527-05. A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment is a report prepared for real estate holdings that identifies potential or existing environmental contamination liabilities. Site assessments are intended to discover and evaluate information regarding the environmental condition of the surveyed property and surrounding properties. These assessments do not generally include soil samplings, subsurface investigations or asbestos or lead surveys. None of the recent site assessments identified any known past or present contamination that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or operations. However, the assessments are limited in scope and may have failed to identify all environmental conditions or concerns. A prior owner or operator of a property or historic operations at our properties may have created a material environmental condition that is not known to us or the independent consultants preparing the site assessments. Material environmental conditions may have arisen after the review was completed or may arise in the future, and future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material additional environmental liability.
Environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance and removal of asbestos-containing building materials, or ACBM, or lead-based paint, or LBP, and may impose fines and penalties for failure to comply with these requirements or expose us to third party liability (e.g., liability for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos). Such laws require that owners or operators of buildings containing ACBM and LBP (and employers in such buildings) properly manage and maintain the asbestos and lead, adequately notify or train those who may come into contact with asbestos or lead, and undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement, if asbestos or lead would be disturbed during renovation or demolition of a building. Some of our properties contain ACBM and/or LBP and we could be liable for such damages, fines or penalties.
In addition, the properties in our portfolio also are subject to various federal, state, and local environmental and health and safety requirements, such as state and local fire requirements. Moreover, some of our tenants routinely handle and use hazardous or regulated substances and waste as part of their operations at our properties, which are subject to regulation. Such environmental and health and safety laws and regulations could subject us or our tenants to liability resulting from these activities. Environmental liabilities could affect a tenant’s ability to make rental payments to us. In addition, changes in laws could increase the potential liability for noncompliance. We sometimes require our tenants to comply with environmental and health and safety laws and regulations and to indemnify us for any related liabilities. But in the event of the bankruptcy or inability of any of our tenants to satisfy such obligations, we may be required to satisfy such obligations. In addition, we may be held directly liable for any such damages or claims regardless of whether we knew of, or were responsible for, the presence or disposal of hazardous or toxic substances or waste and irrespective of tenant lease provisions. The costs associated with such liability could be substantial and could have a material adverse effect on us.
When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Indoor air quality issues can also stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contamination from indoor or outdoor sources, and other biological contaminants such as pollen, viruses and bacteria. Indoor exposure to airborne toxins or irritants above certain levels can be alleged to cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold or other airborne contaminants from the affected property or increase indoor ventilation. In addition, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants could expose us to liability from our tenants, employees of our tenants or others if property damage or personal injury occurs. We are not presently aware of any material adverse indoor air quality issues at our properties.
Corporate Sustainability and Giving
We are committed to high performance sustainable operations. All of our office properties are benchmarked in the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager, with 53% of the portfolio achieving an ENERGY
8
STAR certification, and all developments are or will be Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) certified. We are keenly focused on developing and operating innovative, energy and water efficient world class properties that also incorporate robust recycling and green cleaning best practices. In keeping with our continuous process improvement approach, we have completed a Sustainability Assessment and are in the process of evaluating a Sustainability Strategic Plan to ensure the appropriate evolution of sustainability execution, with a focus on ways to drive positive financial and environmental outcomes for shareholders, tenants, employees and the communities in which we invest.
We are also committed to corporate social responsibility as part of our culture and value proposition to stakeholders. We uphold the highest business ethics, are committed to best-in-class standards for the health and safety for our employees, tenants and service provider partners, and have a robust community-giving program. Specifically, we support and encourage our employees’ contributions to charitable organizations. To assist employees’ charitable giving and augment the impact of their charitable dollars, we created the Hudson Pacific Properties Charitable Program. This program encourages employees to contribute to qualifying charitable organizations by matching donations and providing additional paid time off for volunteerism and providing donations to qualifying nonprofit organizations to which our employees volunteer.

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 Annual Report on Form 10-K, 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.
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;
|
|
•
|
our failure to maintain our status as a REIT;
|
|
•
|
environmental uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters;
|
|
•
|
financial market 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;
|
10
|
•
|
changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates; and
|
|
•
|
other factors affecting the real estate industry generally.
|
Set forth below are some (but not all) of the factors that could adversely affect our business and financial performance. Moreover, 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.
Risks Related to Our Properties and Our Business
Our properties are located in Northern and Southern California and the Pacific Northwest, and we are susceptible to adverse economic conditions, local regulations and natural disasters affecting those markets.
Our properties are located in Northern and Southern California and the Pacific Northwest, which exposes us to greater economic risks than if we owned a more geographically dispersed portfolio. Further, our properties are concentrated in certain areas, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Silicon Valley and Seattle, exposing us to risks associated with those specific areas. We are susceptible to adverse developments in the economic and regulatory environments of Northern and Southern California and the Pacific Northwest (such as business layoffs or downsizing, industry slowdowns, relocations of businesses, increases in real estate and other taxes, costs of complying with governmental regulations or increased regulation), as well as to natural disasters that occur in our markets (such as earthquakes, wind, landslides, droughts, fires and other events). In addition, the State of California has had historical periods of budgetary constraints and is regarded as more litigious and more highly regulated and taxed than many other states, all of which may reduce demand for office space in California. Any adverse developments in the economy or real estate market in Northern and Southern California or the Pacific Northwest, or any decrease in demand for office space resulting from the California regulatory or business environment, could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the per share trading price of our securities.
We derive a significant portion of our rental revenue from tenants in the technology and media and entertainment industries, which makes us particularly susceptible to demand for rental space in those industries.
A significant portion of our rental revenue is derived from tenants in the technology and media and entertainment industries. Consequently, we are susceptible to adverse developments affecting the demand by tenants in these industries for office, production and support space in Northern and Southern California and the Pacific Northwest and, more particularly, in Hollywood and the South of Market submarket of San Francisco. As we continue our development and potential acquisition activities in markets populated by knowledge-and creative-based tenants in the technology and media and entertainment industries, our tenant mix could become more concentrated, further exposing us to risks in those industries. Any adverse development in the technology and media and entertainment industries could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the per share trading price of our securities.
We may be unable to identify and complete acquisitions of properties that meet our criteria, which may impede our growth.
Our business strategy includes the acquisition of underperforming office properties. These activities require us to identify suitable acquisition candidates or investment opportunities that meet our criteria and are compatible with our growth strategies. We continue to evaluate the market of available properties and may attempt to acquire properties when strategic opportunities exist. However, we may be unable to acquire any of the properties that we may identify as potential acquisition opportunities in the future. Our ability to acquire properties on favorable terms, or at all, may be exposed to the following significant risks:
|
•
|
potential inability to acquire a desired property because of competition from other real estate investors with significant capital, including publicly traded REITs, private equity investors and institutional investment funds, which may be able to accept more risk than we can prudently manage, including risks with respect to the geographic proximity of investments and the payment of higher acquisition prices;
|
|
•
|
we may incur significant costs and divert management attention in connection with evaluating and negotiating potential acquisitions, including ones that we are subsequently unable to complete;
|
11
|
•
|
even if we enter into agreements for the acquisition of properties, these agreements are typically subject to customary conditions to closing, including the satisfactory completion of our due diligence investigations; and
|
|
•
|
we may be unable to finance the acquisition on favorable terms or at all.
|
If we are unable to finance property acquisitions or acquire properties on favorable terms, or at all, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the per share trading price of our securities could be adversely affected. In addition, failure to identify or complete acquisitions of suitable properties could slow our growth.
Our future acquisitions may not yield the returns we expect.
Our future acquisitions and our ability to successfully operate the properties we acquire in such acquisitions may be exposed to the following significant risks:
|
•
|
even if we are able to acquire a desired property, competition from other potential acquirers may significantly increase the purchase price;
|
|
•
|
we may acquire properties that are not accretive to our results upon acquisition, and we may not successfully manage and lease those properties to meet our expectations;
|
|
•
|
our cash flow may be insufficient to meet our required principal and interest payments;
|
|
•
|
we may spend more than budgeted amounts to make necessary improvements or renovations to acquired properties;
|
|
•
|
we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations, and as a result our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected;
|
|
•
|
market conditions may result in higher than expected vacancy rates and lower than expected rental rates; and
|
|
•
|
we may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, with respect to unknown liabilities such as liabilities for clean-up of undisclosed environmental contamination, claims by tenants, vendors or other persons dealing with the former owners of the properties, liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business and claims for indemnification by general partners, directors, officers and others indemnified by the former owners of the properties.
|
If we cannot operate acquired properties to meet our financial expectations, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the per share trading price of our securities could be adversely affected.
We may acquire properties or portfolios of properties through tax deferred contribution transactions, which could result in stockholder dilution and limit our ability to sell such assets.
In the future we may acquire properties or portfolios of properties through tax deferred contribution transactions in exchange for partnership interests in our operating partnership, which may result in stockholder dilution. This acquisition structure may have the effect of, among other things, reducing the amount of tax depreciation we could deduct over the tax life of the acquired properties, and may require that we agree to protect the contributors’ ability to defer recognition of taxable gain through restrictions on our ability to dispose of the acquired properties and/or the allocation of partnership debt to the contributors to maintain their tax bases. These restrictions could limit our ability to sell an asset at a time, or on terms, that would be favorable absent such restrictions.
Our growth depends on external sources of capital that are outside of our control and may not be available to us on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to meet various requirements under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, including that we distribute annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, excluding any net capital gain. In addition, we will be subject to income tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we
12
distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income, including any net capital gains. Because of these distribution requirements, we may not be able to fund future capital needs, including any necessary acquisition financing, from operating cash flow. Consequently, we intend to rely on third-party sources to fund our capital needs. We may not be able to obtain the financing on favorable terms or at all. Any additional debt we incur will increase our leverage and likelihood of default. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends, in part, on:
|
•
|
general market conditions;
|
|
•
|
the market’s perception of our growth potential;
|
|
•
|
our current debt levels;
|
|
•
|
our current and expected future earnings;
|
|
•
|
our cash flow and cash distributions; and
|
|
•
|
the market price per share of our common stock.
|
The credit markets can experience significant disruptions. If we cannot obtain capital from third-party sources, we may not be able to acquire or develop properties when strategic opportunities exist, meet the capital and operating needs of our existing properties, satisfy our debt service obligations or make the cash distributions to our stockholders necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect our financial condition, results of
operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, including cash available for payment of dividends on and the per share trading price of our securities.
If interest rates increase, then so will the interest costs on our unhedged variable rate debt, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Further, rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance existing debt when it matures. We seek to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility by using interest rate hedging arrangements that involve risk, such as the risk that counterparties may fail to honor their obligations under these arrangements, and that these arrangements may not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distribution, including cash available for payment of dividends on and the per share trading price of our securities. In addition, while such agreements are intended to lessen the impact of rising interest rates on us, they also expose us to the risk that the other parties to the agreements will not perform, we could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements, the agreements will be unenforceable and the underlying transactions will fail to qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 815, Derivative and Hedging.
Mortgage debt obligations expose us to the possibility of foreclosure, which could result in the loss of our investment in a property or group of properties subject to mortgage debt.
Incurring mortgage and other secured debt obligations increases our risk of property losses because defaults on indebtedness secured by properties may result in foreclosure actions initiated by lenders and ultimately our loss of the property securing any loans for which we are in default. Any foreclosure on a mortgaged property or group of properties could adversely affect the overall value of our portfolio of properties. For tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties that is subject to a nonrecourse mortgage loan would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure, but would not receive any cash proceeds.
Our unsecured revolving credit facility, term loan facility and note purchase agreement restrict our ability to engage in some business activities.
Our unsecured revolving credit facility, term loan facility and note purchase agreement contain customary negative covenants and other financial and operating covenants that, among other things:
|
•
|
restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness;
|
13
|
•
|
restrict our ability to make certain investments;
|
|
•
|
restrict our ability to merge with another company;
|
|
•
|
restrict our ability to make distributions to stockholders; and
|
|
•
|
require us to maintain financial coverage ratios.
|
These limitations restrict our ability to engage in some business activities, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distributions to our stockholders, and per share trading price of our securities. In addition, failure to meet any of these covenants, including the financial coverage ratios, could cause an event of default under and/or accelerate some or all of our indebtedness, which would have a material adverse effect on us. Furthermore, our unsecured revolving credit facility and term loan facility contain specific cross-default provisions with respect to specified other indebtedness, giving the lenders the right to declare a default if we are in default under other loans in some circumstances.
Adverse economic and geopolitical conditions and dislocations in the credit markets could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and per share trading price of our securities.
Volatility in the United States and international capital markets and concern over a return to recessionary conditions in global economies, and the California economy in particular, may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the per share trading price of our securities as a result of the following potential consequences, among others:
|
•
|
significant job losses in the financial and professional services industries may occur, which may decrease demand for our office space, causing market rental rates and property values to be negatively impacted;
|
|
•
|
our ability to obtain financing on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, or at all, may be limited, which could reduce our ability to pursue acquisition and development opportunities and refinance existing debt, reduce our returns from our acquisition and development activities and increase our future interest expense;
|
|
•
|
reduced values of our properties may limit our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices or to obtain debt financing secured by our properties and may reduce the availability of unsecured loans; and
|
|
•
|
one or more lenders under our unsecured revolving credit facility could refuse to fund their financing commitment to us or could fail and we may not be able to replace the financing commitment of any such lenders on favorable terms, or at all.
|
We have a limited operating history with respect to some of our properties and may not be able to operate them successfully.
Our 11601 Wilshire, Hill7 and Page Mill Hill properties have only been under our management since they were acquired in 2016. These properties may have characteristics or deficiencies unknown to us that could affect such properties’ valuation or revenue potential. In addition, there can be no assurance that the operating performance of such properties will not decline under our management. We cannot assure you that we will be able to operate these properties successfully.
We face significant competition, which may decrease or prevent increases in the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.
We compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of office properties, many of which own properties similar to ours in the same submarkets in which our properties are located. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose existing or potential tenants and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates below those we currently charge or to offer more substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options in order to retain tenants when our tenants’ leases expire. As a result, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the per share trading price of our securities could be adversely affected.
14
We depend on significant tenants, and several of our properties are single-tenant properties or are currently occupied by single tenants.
As of
December 31, 2016
, the 15 largest tenants in our office portfolio represented approximately
34.0%
of the total annualized base rent generated by our office properties. The inability of a significant tenant to pay rent or the bankruptcy or insolvency of a significant tenant may adversely affect the income produced by our properties. If a tenant becomes bankrupt or insolvent, federal law may prohibit us from evicting such tenant based solely upon such bankruptcy or insolvency. In addition, a bankrupt or insolvent tenant may be authorized to reject and terminate its lease with us. Any claim against such tenant for unpaid, future rent would be subject to a statutory cap that might be substantially less than the remaining rent owed under the lease. As of
December 31, 2016
, our two largest tenants were
Google, Inc.
and
Uber Technologies, Inc.
, which together accounted for
7.2%
of the annualized base rent generated by our office properties. If
Google, Inc.
and
Uber Technologies, Inc.
were to experience a downturn or a weakening of financial condition resulting in a failure to make timely rental payments or causing a lease default, we may experience delays in enforcing our rights as landlord and may incur substantial costs in protecting our investment. Any such event described above could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the per share trading price of our securities.
We may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-let space as leases expire.
As of
December 31, 2016
, approximately
11.2%
of the square footage of the office properties in our portfolio was available (taking into account uncommenced leases signed as of
December 31, 2016
), and an additional approximately
11.3%
of the square footage of the office properties in our portfolio is scheduled to expire in
2017
(including leases scheduled to expire as of, but including,
December 31, 2016
). Furthermore, substantially all of the square footage of the media and entertainment properties in our portfolio (other than KTLA and Netflix leases at Sunset Bronson Studios) are typically short-term leases of one year or less. We cannot assure you that leases will be renewed or that our properties will be re-let at net effective rental rates equal to or above the current average net effective rental rates or that substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options will not be offered to attract new tenants or retain existing tenants. If the rental rates for our properties decrease, our existing tenants do not renew their leases or we do not re-let a significant portion of our available space and space for which leases will expire, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and per share trading price of our securities could be adversely affected.
We may be required to make rent or other concessions and/or significant capital expenditures to improve our properties in order to retain and attract tenants, causing our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and per share trading price of our securities to be adversely affected.
To the extent adverse economic conditions continue in the real estate market and demand for office space remains low, we expect that, upon expiration of leases at our properties, we will be required to make rent or other concessions to tenants, accommodate requests for renovations, build-to-suit remodeling and other improvements or provide additional services to our tenants. As a result, we may have to make significant capital or other expenditures in order to retain tenants whose leases expire and to attract new tenants in sufficient numbers. Additionally, we may need to raise capital to make such expenditures. If we are unable to do so or capital is otherwise unavailable, we may be unable to make the required expenditures. This could result in non-renewals by tenants upon expiration of their leases, which could cause an adverse effect to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the per share trading price of our securities.
The actual rents we receive for the properties in our portfolio may be less than our asking rents, and we may experience lease roll-down from time to time.
As a result of various factors, including competitive pricing pressure in our submarkets, adverse conditions in the Northern or Southern California or the Pacific Northwest real estate markets, a general economic downturn and the desirability of our properties compared to other properties in our submarkets, we may be unable to realize the asking rents across the properties in our portfolio. In addition, the degree of discrepancy between our asking rents and the actual rents we are able to obtain may vary both from property to property and among different leased spaces within a single property. If we are unable to obtain rental rates that are on average comparable to our asking rents across our portfolio, then our ability to generate cash flow growth will be negatively impacted. In addition, depending on asking rental rates at any given time as compared to expiring leases in our portfolio, from time to time rental rates for expiring leases may be higher than starting rental rates for new leases.
15
Some of our properties are subject to ground leases, the termination or expiration of which could cause us to lose our interest in, and the right to receive rental income from, such properties.
Thirteen of our properties are subject to ground leases (including properties with a portion of the land subject to a ground lease). See Part IV, Item 15(a) “Financial Statement and Schedules—Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Future Minimum Base Rents and Lease Payments Future Minimum Rents” for more information regarding our ground lease agreements. If any of these ground leases are terminated following a default or expire without being extended, we may lose our interest in the related property and may no longer have the right to receive any of the rental income from such property, which would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the per share trading price of our securities.
The ground sublease for the Del Amo Office property is subject and subordinate to a ground lease, the termination of which could result in a termination of the ground sublease.
The property on which the Del Amo Office building is located is subleased by Del Amo Fashion Center Operating Company, L.L.C., or Del Amo, through a long-term ground sublease. The ground sublease is subject and subordinate to the terms of a ground lease between the fee owner of the Del Amo Office property and the sub-landlord under the ground sublease. The fee owner has not granted to the subtenant under the ground sublease any rights of non-disturbance. Accordingly, a termination of the ground lease for any reason, including a rejection thereof by the ground tenant under the ground lease in a bankruptcy proceeding, could result in a termination of the ground sublease. In the event of a termination of the ground sublease, we may lose our interest in the Del Amo Office building and may no longer have the right to receive any of the rental income from the Del Amo Office building. In addition, our lack of any non-disturbance rights from the fee owner may impair our ability to obtain financing for the Del Amo Office building.
Our success depends on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed.
Our continued success and our ability to manage anticipated future growth depend, in large part, upon the efforts of key personnel who have extensive market knowledge and relationships and exercise substantial influence over our operational, financing, acquisition and disposition activity. Many of our other senior executives have extensive experience and strong reputations in the real estate industry, which aid us in identifying opportunities, having opportunities brought to us, and negotiating with tenants and build-to-suit prospects. The loss of services of one or more members of our senior management team, or our inability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, could adversely affect our business, diminish our investment opportunities and weaken our relationships with lenders, business partners, existing and prospective tenants and industry personnel, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the per share trading price of our securities.
Potential losses, including from adverse weather conditions, natural disasters and title claims, may not be covered by insurance.
We carry commercial property (including earthquake), liability and terrorism coverage on all the properties in our portfolio (most are covered under a blanket insurance policy while a few are under individual policies), in addition to other coverages, such as trademark and pollution coverage, that may be appropriate for certain of our properties. We have selected policy specifications and insured limits that we believe to be appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and industry practice. However, we do not carry insurance for losses such as loss from riots or war because such coverage is not available or is not available at commercially reasonable rates. Some of our policies, like those covering losses due to terrorism or earthquakes, are insured subject to limitations involving large deductibles or co-payments and policy limits that may not be sufficient to cover losses, which could affect certain of our properties that are located in areas particularly susceptible to natural disasters. All of the properties we currently own are located in Northern and Southern California and the Pacific Northwest, areas especially susceptible to earthquakes. In addition, we may discontinue earthquake
,
terrorism or other insurance on some or all of our properties in the future if the cost of premiums for any such policies exceeds, in our judgment, the value of the coverage discounted for the risk of loss. As a result, we may be required to incur significant costs in the event of adverse weather conditions and natural disasters. If we or one or more of our tenants experiences a loss that is uninsured or that exceeds policy limits, we could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged. Furthermore, we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance coverage at reasonable costs in the future as the costs associated with property and casualty renewals may be higher than anticipated. In the event that we experience a substantial or comprehensive loss of one of our properties, we may not be able to rebuild such property to its existing specifications. Further reconstruction or improvement of such a property would likely require significant upgrades to meet zoning and building code requirements.
16
Future terrorist activity or engagement in war by the United States may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
Terrorist attacks in the United States and other acts of terrorism or war may result in declining economic activity, which could harm the demand for and the value of our properties. A decrease in demand could make it difficult for us to renew or re-lease our properties at these sites at lease rates equal to or above historical rates. Terrorist activities also could directly impact the value of our properties through damage, destruction, or loss, and the availability of insurance for these acts may be less, and cost more, which could adversely affect our financial condition. To the extent that our tenants are impacted by future attacks, their businesses similarly could be adversely affected, including their ability to continue to honor their existing leases.
Terrorist attacks and engagement in war by the United States also may adversely affect the markets in which our securities trade and may cause further erosion of business and consumer confidence and spending and may result in increased volatility in national and international financial markets and economies. Any one of these events may cause decline in the demand for our office and media and entertainment leased space, delay the time in which our new or renovated properties reach stabilized occupancy, increase our operating expenses, such as those attributable to increased physical security for our properties, and limit our access to capital or increase our cost of raising capital.
We may become subject to litigation, which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the per share trading price of our securities.
In the future we may become subject to litigation, including claims relating to our operations, offerings, and otherwise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims may result in significant defense costs and potentially significant judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, insured against. We generally intend to vigorously defend ourselves; however, we cannot be certain of the ultimate outcomes of any claims that may arise in the future. Resolution of these types of matters against us may result in our having to pay significant fines, judgments or settlements, which, if uninsured, or if the fines, judgments and settlements exceed insured levels, could adversely impact our earnings and cash flows, thereby having an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and per share trading price of our securities. Certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and directors.
Joint venture investments could be adversely affected by our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on co-venturers’ financial condition and disputes between us and our co-venturers.
On November 8, 2012, we entered into a joint venture with M. David Paul & Associates/Worthe Real Estate Group, or MDP/Worthe, to acquire The Pinnacle, a two-building (Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II), 625,640 square-foot office property located in Burbank, California. On January 7, 2015, we entered into a joint venture with the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPPIB”), through which CPPIB purchased a 45% interest in our 1455 Market Street office property. On October 7, 2016, we entered into another joint venture with CPPIB to acquire the Hill7 property, a 285,680 square-foot office property located in Seattle, Washington. In addition to our joint ventures with MDP/Worthe and CPPIB, we may co-invest in the future with other third parties through partnerships, joint ventures or other entities, acquiring non-controlling interests in or sharing responsibility for managing the affairs of a property, partnership, joint venture or other entity. These investments may, under certain circumstances, involve risks not present were a third party not involved, including the possibility that partners or co-venturers might become bankrupt or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions. Partners or co-venturers may have economic or other business interests or goals which are inconsistent with our business interests or goals, and may be in a position to take actions contrary to our policies or objectives, and they may have competing interests in our markets that could create conflict of interest issues. Such investments may also have the potential risk of impasses on decisions, such as a sale, because neither we nor the partner or co-venturer would have full control over the partnership or joint venture. In addition, prior consent of our joint venture partners may be required for a sale or transfer to a third party of our interests in the joint venture, which would restrict our ability to dispose of our interest in the joint venture. If we become a limited partner or non-managing member in any partnership or limited liability company and such entity takes or expects to take actions that could jeopardize our status as a REIT or require us to pay tax, we may be forced to dispose of our interest in such entity. Disputes between us and partners or co-venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and/or directors from focusing their time and effort on our business. Consequently, actions by or disputes with partners or co-venturers might result in subjecting properties owned by the partnership or joint venture to additional risk. In addition, we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our third-party partners or co-venturers. Our joint ventures may be subject to debt and, in the current volatile credit market, the refinancing of such debt may require equity capital calls.
17
If we fail to maintain an effective system of integrated internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results.
Effective internal and disclosure controls are necessary for us to provide reliable financial reports and effectively prevent fraud and to operate successfully as a public company. If we cannot provide reliable financial reports or prevent fraud, our reputation and operating results would be harmed. As part of our ongoing monitoring of internal controls we may discover material weaknesses or significant deficiencies in our internal controls. As a result of weaknesses that may be identified in our internal controls, we may also identify certain deficiencies in some of our disclosure controls and procedures that we believe require remediation. If we discover weaknesses, we will make efforts to improve our internal and disclosure controls. However, there is no assurance that we will be successful. Any failure to maintain effective controls or timely effect any necessary improvement of our internal and disclosure controls could harm operating results or cause us to fail to meet our reporting obligations, which could affect our ability to remain listed with the NYSE. Ineffective internal and disclosure controls could also cause investors to lose confidence in our reported financial information, which would likely have a negative effect on the per share trading price of our securities.
Risks Related to the Real Estate Industry
Our performance and value are subject to risks associated with real estate assets and the real estate industry.
Our ability to pay expected dividends to our stockholders depends on our ability to generate revenues in excess of expenses, pay scheduled principal payments on debt and pay capital expenditure requirements. Events and conditions generally applicable to owners and operators of real property that are beyond our control may decrease cash available for distribution and the value of our properties. These events include many of the risks set forth above under “—Risks Related to Our Properties and Our Business,” as well as the following:
|
•
|
local oversupply or reduction in demand for office or media and entertainment-related space;
|
|
•
|
adverse changes in financial conditions of buyers, sellers and tenants of properties;
|
|
•
|
vacancies or our inability to rent space on favorable terms, including possible market pressures to offer tenants rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights or below-market renewal options, and the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-let space;
|
|
•
|
increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, utilities, real estate taxes and state and local taxes;
|
|
•
|
civil unrest, acts of war, terrorist attacks and natural disasters, including earthquakes and floods, which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses;
|
|
•
|
decreases in the underlying value of our real estate; and
|
|
•
|
changing submarket demographics.
|
In addition, periods of economic downturn or recession, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur, could result in a general decline in rents or an increased incidence of defaults under existing leases, which would adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and per share trading price of our securities.
Illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties and harm our financial condition.
The real estate investments made, and to be made, by us are relatively difficult to sell quickly. As a result, our ability to promptly sell one or more properties in our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions is limited. Return of capital and realization of gains, if any, from an investment generally will occur upon disposition or refinancing of the underlying property. We may be unable to realize our investment objectives by sale, other disposition or refinancing at attractive prices within any given period of time or may otherwise be unable to complete any exit strategy. In particular, our ability to dispose of one or more properties within a specific time period is subject to certain limitations imposed by our tax protection agreements, as well as weakness in or even the lack of an established market for a property, changes in the financial condition or prospects of prospective purchasers, changes in national or international economic conditions, such as the current economic downturn, and changes in laws, regulations or fiscal policies of jurisdictions in which the property is located.
18
In addition, the Code imposes restrictions on a REIT’s ability to dispose of properties that are not applicable to other types of real estate companies. In particular, the tax laws applicable to REITs effectively require that we hold our properties for investment, rather than primarily for sale in the ordinary course of business, which may cause us to forgo or defer sales of properties that otherwise would be in our best interest.
Therefore, we may not be able to vary our portfolio in response to economic or other conditions promptly or on favorable terms, which may adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and per share trading price of our securities.
We could incur significant costs related to government regulation and litigation over environmental matters.
Under various federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the environment, as a current or former owner or operator of real property, we may be liable for costs and damages resulting from the presence or discharge of hazardous or toxic substances, waste or petroleum products at, on, in, under or migrating from such property, including costs to investigate, clean up such contamination and liability for harm to natural resources. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such contamination, and the liability may be joint and several. These liabilities could be substantial and the cost of any required remediation, removal, fines or other costs could exceed the value of the property and/or our aggregate assets. In addition, the presence of contamination or the failure to remediate contamination at our properties may expose us to third-party liability for costs of remediation and/or personal or property damage or materially adversely affect our ability to sell, lease or develop our properties or to borrow using the properties as collateral. In addition, environmental laws may create liens on contaminated sites in favor of the government for damages and costs it incurs to address such contamination. Moreover, if contamination is discovered on our properties, environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated, and these restrictions may require substantial expenditures. Some of our properties have been or may be impacted by contamination arising from current or prior uses of the property, or adjacent properties, for commercial or industrial purposes. Such contamination may arise from spills of petroleum or hazardous substances or releases from tanks used to store such materials. As a result, we could potentially incur material liability for these issues, which could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the per share trading price of our securities.
Environmental laws also govern the presence, maintenance and removal of ACBM and LBP and may impose fines and penalties for failure to comply with these requirements or expose us to third-party liability (e.g., liability for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos or lead). Such laws require that owners or operators of buildings containing ACBM and LBP (and employers in such buildings) properly manage and maintain the asbestos and lead, adequately notify or train those who may come into contact with asbestos or lead, and undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement, if asbestos or lead would be disturbed during renovation or demolition of a building. Some of our properties contain ACBM and/or LBP and we could be liable for such damages, fines or penalties.
In addition, the properties in our portfolio also are subject to various federal, state and local environmental and health and safety requirements, such as state and local fire requirements. Moreover, some of our tenants routinely handle and use hazardous or regulated substances and wastes as part of their operations at our properties, which are subject to regulation. Such environmental and health and safety laws and regulations could subject us or our tenants to liability resulting from these activities. Environmental liabilities could affect a tenant’s ability to make rental payments to us. In addition, changes in laws could increase the potential liability for noncompliance. This may result in significant unanticipated expenditures or may otherwise materially and adversely affect our operations, or those of our tenants, which could in turn have an adverse effect on us.
We cannot assure you that costs or liabilities incurred as a result of environmental issues will not affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders or that such costs or other remedial measures will not have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and the per share trading price of our securities. If we do incur material environmental liabilities in the future, we may face significant remediation costs, and we may find it difficult to sell any affected properties.
Our properties may contain or develop harmful mold or suffer from other air quality issues, which could lead to liability for adverse health effects and costs of remediation.
When excessive moisture accumulates in buildings or on building materials, mold growth may occur, particularly if the moisture problem remains undiscovered or is not addressed over a period of time. Some molds may produce airborne toxins or irritants. Indoor air quality issues can also stem from inadequate ventilation, chemical contamination from indoor or outdoor sources, and other biological contaminants such as pollen, viruses and bacteria. Indoor exposure to airborne toxins or irritants
19
above certain levels can be alleged to cause a variety of adverse health effects and symptoms, including allergic or other reactions. As a result, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants at any of our properties could require us to undertake a costly remediation program to contain or remove the mold or other airborne contaminants from the affected property or increase indoor ventilation. In addition, the presence of significant mold or other airborne contaminants could expose us to liability from our tenants, employees of our tenants or others if property damage or personal injury is alleged to have occurred.
We may incur significant costs complying with various federal, state and local laws, regulations and covenants that are applicable to our properties.
The properties in our portfolio are subject to various covenants and federal, state and local laws and regulatory requirements, including permitting and licensing requirements. Local regulations, including municipal or local ordinances, zoning restrictions and restrictive covenants imposed by community developers may restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from local officials or restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from local officials of community standards organizations at any time with respect to our properties, including prior to acquiring a property or when undertaking renovations of any of our existing properties. Among other things, these restrictions may relate to fire and safety, seismic or hazardous material abatement requirements. There can be no assurance that existing laws and regulatory policies will not adversely affect us or the timing or cost of any future acquisitions or renovations, or that additional regulations will not be adopted that increase such delays or result in additional costs. Our growth strategy may be affected by our ability to obtain permits, licenses and zoning relief. Our failure to obtain such permits, licenses and zoning relief or to comply with applicable laws could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and per share trading price of our securities.
In addition, federal and state laws and regulations, including laws such as the ADA, impose further restrictions on our properties and operations. Under the ADA, all public accommodations must meet federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Some of our properties may currently be in non-compliance with the ADA. If one or more of the properties in our portfolio is not in compliance with the ADA or any other regulatory requirements, we may be required to incur additional costs to bring the property into compliance and we might incur governmental fines or the award of damages to private litigants. In addition, we do not know whether existing requirements will change or whether future requirements will require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures that will adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and per share trading price of our securities.
We are exposed to risks associated with property development.
We may engage in development and redevelopment activities with respect to certain of our properties. To the extent that we do so, we will be subject to certain risks, including the availability and pricing of financing on favorable terms or at all; construction and/or lease-up delays; cost overruns, including construction costs that exceed our original estimates; contractor and subcontractor disputes, strikes, labor disputes or supply disruptions; failure to achieve expected occupancy and/or rent levels within the projected time frame, if at all; and delays with respect to obtaining or the inability to obtain necessary zoning, occupancy, land use and other governmental permits, and changes in zoning and land use laws. These risks could result in substantial unanticipated delays or expenses and, under certain circumstances, could prevent completion of development activities once undertaken, any of which could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and per share trading price of our securities.
Risks Related to Our Organizational Structure
The Series A preferred units that were issued to some contributors in connection with our IPO in exchange for the contribution of their properties have certain preferences, which could limit our ability to pay dividends or other distributions to the holders of our securities or engage in certain business combinations, recapitalizations or other fundamental changes.
In exchange for the contribution of properties to our portfolio in connection with our IPO, some contributors received Series A preferred units in our operating partnership, which units have an aggregate liquidation preference of approximately
$10.2 million
and have a preference as to distributions and upon liquidation that could limit our ability to pay dividends on common stock. The Series A preferred units are senior to any other class of securities our operating partnership may issue in the future without the consent of the holders of the Series A preferred units. As a result, we will be unable to issue partnership units in our operating partnership senior to the Series A preferred units without the consent of the holders of Series A preferred units. Any preferred stock in our Company that we issue will be subordinate to the Series A preferred units. In addition, we may only engage in a fundamental change, including a recapitalization, a merger and a sale of all or substantially all of our assets, as a result of which our common stock ceases to be publicly traded or common units cease to be exchangeable (at our option) for
20
publicly traded shares of our stock, without the consent of holders of Series A preferred units if following such transaction we will maintain certain leverage ratios and equity requirements, and pay certain minimum tax distributions to holders of our outstanding Series A preferred units. Alternatively, we may redeem all or any portion of the then outstanding Series A preferred units for cash (at a price per unit equal to the redemption price). In addition, these provisions could increase the cost of any such fundamental change transaction, which may discourage a merger, combination or change of control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests.
Conflicts of interest exist or could arise in the future between the interests of our stockholders and the interests of holders of units in our operating partnership, which may impede business decisions that could benefit our stockholders.
Conflicts of interest exist or could arise in the future as a result of the relationships between us and our affiliates, on the one hand, and our operating partnership or any partner thereof, on the other. Our directors and officers have duties to our Company under applicable Maryland law in connection with their management of our Company. At the same time, we, as the general partner of our operating partnership, have fiduciary duties and obligations to our operating partnership and its limited partners under Maryland law and the partnership agreement of our operating partnership in connection with the management of our operating partnership. Our fiduciary duties and obligations as general partner to our operating partnership and its partners may come into conflict with the duties of our directors and officers to our Company.
Additionally, the partnership agreement provides that we and our directors and officers will not be liable or accountable to our operating partnership for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived if we, or such director or officer acted in good faith. The partnership agreement also provides that we will not be liable to the operating partnership or any partner for monetary damages for losses sustained, liabilities incurred or benefits not derived by the operating partnership or any limited partner, except for liability for our intentional harm or gross negligence. Moreover, the partnership agreement provides that our operating partnership is required to indemnify us and our directors, officers and employees, officers and employees of the operating partnership and our designees from and against any and all claims that relate to the operations of our operating partnership, except (i) if the act or omission of the person was material to the matter giving rise to the action and either was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, (ii) for any transaction for which the indemnified party received an improper personal benefit, in money, property or services or otherwise, in violation or breach of any provision of the partnership agreement or (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, if the indemnified person had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. No reported decision of a Maryland appellate court has interpreted provisions similar to the provisions of the partnership agreement of our operating partnership that modify and reduce our fiduciary duties or obligations as the general partner or reduce or eliminate our liability for money damages to the operating partnership and its partners, and we have not obtained an opinion of counsel as to the enforceability of the provisions set forth in the partnership agreement that purport to modify or reduce the fiduciary duties that would be in effect were it not for the partnership agreement.
Our charter and bylaws, the partnership agreement of our operating partnership and Maryland law contain provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control transaction, even if such a change in control may be in your interest, and as a result may depress the market price of our securities.
Our charter contains certain ownership limits.
Our charter contains various provisions that are intended to preserve our qualification as a REIT and, subject to certain exceptions, authorize our directors to take such actions as are necessary or appropriate to preserve our qualification as a REIT. For example, our charter prohibits the actual, beneficial or constructive ownership by any person of more than 9.8% in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our common stock, and more than 9.8% in value of the aggregate outstanding shares of all classes and series of our stock. Our board of directors, in its sole and absolute discretion, may exempt a person, prospectively or retroactively, from these ownership limits if certain conditions are satisfied. The restrictions on ownership and transfer of our stock may:
|
•
|
discourage a tender offer or other transactions or a change in management or of control that might involve a premium price for our common stock or that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interests; or
|
|
•
|
result in the transfer of shares acquired in excess of the restrictions to a trust for the benefit of a charitable beneficiary and, as a result, the forfeiture by the acquirer of the benefits of owning the additional shares.
|
We could increase the number of authorized shares of stock, classify and reclassify unissued stock and issue stock without stockholder approval.
Our board of directors has the power under our charter to amend our charter to increase the aggregate number of
shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that we are authorized to issue, to authorize
us to issue authorized but unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock and to classify or reclassify
any
21
unissued shares of our common stock or preferred stock into one or more classes or series of stock and set
the terms of such newly classified or reclassified shares. Although our board of directors has no such intention at the present time, it could establish a class or series of preferred stock that could, depending on the terms of such series, delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might involve a premium price for our securities or that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interest.
Certain provisions of Maryland law could inhibit changes in control, which may discourage third parties from conducting a tender offer or seeking other change of control transactions that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interest.
Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law, or MGCL, may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making a proposal to acquire us or of impeding a change of control under circumstances that otherwise could be in the best interest of our stockholders, including:
|
•
|
“business combination” provisions that, subject to limitations, prohibit certain business combinations between us and an “interested stockholder” (defined generally as any person who beneficially owns 10% or more of the voting power of our shares or an affiliate thereof or an affiliate or associate of ours who was the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 10% or more of the voting power of our then outstanding voting stock at any time within the two-year period immediately prior to the date in question) for five years after the most recent date on which the stockholder becomes an interested stockholder, and thereafter impose fair price and/or supermajority and stockholder voting requirements on these combinations; and
|
|
•
|
“control share” provisions that provide that “control shares” of our Company (defined as shares that, when aggregated with other shares controlled by the stockholder, entitle the stockholder to exercise one of three increasing ranges of voting power in electing directors) acquired in a “control share acquisition” (defined as the direct or indirect acquisition of ownership or control of issued and outstanding “control shares”) have no voting rights except to the extent approved by our stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all the votes entitled to be cast on the matter, excluding all interested shares.
|
As permitted by the MGCL, we have elected, by resolution of our board of directors, to exempt from the business combination provisions of the MGCL, any business combination that is first approved by our disinterested directors and, pursuant to a provision in our bylaws, to exempt any acquisition of our stock from the control share provisions of the MGCL. However, our board of directors may by resolution elect to repeal the exemption from the business combination provisions of the MGCL and may by amendment to our bylaws opt into the control share provisions of the MGCL at any time in the future.
Certain provisions of the MGCL permit our board of directors, without stockholder approval and regardless of what is currently provided in our charter or bylaws, to implement certain corporate governance provisions, some of which (for example, a classified board) are not currently applicable to us. These provisions may have the effect of limiting or precluding a third party from making an unsolicited acquisition proposal for us or of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us under circumstances that otherwise could be in the best interest of our stockholders. Our charter contains a provision whereby we have elected to be subject to the provisions of Title 3, Subtitle 8 of the MGCL relating to the filling of vacancies on our board of directors.
Certain provisions in the partnership agreement of our operating partnership may delay or prevent unsolicited acquisitions of us.
Provisions in the partnership agreement of our operating partnership may delay or make more difficult unsolicited acquisitions of us or changes of our control. These provisions could discourage third parties from making proposals involving an unsolicited acquisition of us or change of our control, although some stockholders might consider such proposals, if made, desirable. These provisions include, among others:
|
•
|
redemption rights of qualifying parties;
|
|
•
|
transfer restrictions on units;
|
|
•
|
our ability, as general partner, in some cases, to amend the partnership agreement and to cause the operating partnership to issue units with terms that could delay, defer or prevent a merger or other change of control of us or our operating partnership without the consent of the limited partners;
|
|
•
|
the right of the limited partners to consent to transfers of the general partnership interest and mergers or other transactions involving us under specified circumstances; and
|
22
|
•
|
restrictions on debt levels and equity requirements pursuant to the terms of our Series A preferred units, as well as required distributions to holders of Series A preferred units of our operating partnership, following certain changes of control of us.
|
Our charter, bylaws, the partnership agreement of our operating partnership and Maryland law also contain other provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a transaction or a change of control that our stockholders otherwise believe to be in their best interest.
Our board of directors may change our investment and financing policies without stockholder approval and we may become more highly leveraged, which may increase our risk of default under our debt obligations.
Our investment and financing policies are exclusively determined by our board of directors. Accordingly, our stockholders do not control these policies. Further, our organizational documents do not limit the amount or percentage of indebtedness, funded or otherwise, that we may incur. Our board of directors may alter or eliminate our current policy on borrowing at any time without stockholder approval. If this policy changed, we could become more highly leveraged, which could result in an increase in our debt service. Higher leverage also increases the risk of default on our obligations. In addition, a change in our investment policies, including the manner in which we allocate our resources across our portfolio or the types of assets in which we seek to invest, may increase our exposure to interest rate risk, real estate market fluctuations and liquidity risk. Changes to our policies with regards to the foregoing could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and per share trading price of our securities.
Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited.
Our charter eliminates the liability of our directors and officers to us and our stockholders for monetary damages, except for liability resulting from:
|
•
|
actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services; or
|
|
•
|
a final judgment based upon a finding of active and deliberate dishonesty by the director or officer that was material to the cause of action adjudicated.
|
In addition, our charter authorizes us to obligate our Company, and our bylaws require us, to indemnify our directors and officers for actions taken by them in those and certain other capacities to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors and officers than might otherwise exist. Accordingly, in the event that actions taken in good faith by any of our directors or officers impede the performance of our Company, your ability to recover damages from such director or officer will be limited.
Tax protection agreements could limit our ability to sell or otherwise dispose of certain properties.
In connection with our formation transactions for our IPO, we entered into tax protection agreements with certain third-party contributors that provide that if we dispose of any interest with respect to certain properties in a taxable transaction during the period from the closing of our IPO on June 29, 2010 through certain specified dates ranging until 2027, we will indemnify the third-party contributors for certain tax liabilities payable as a result of the sale (as well as tax liabilities payable as a result of the reimbursement payment). Certain contributors’ rights under the tax protection agreements with respect to these properties will, however, expire at various times (depending on the rights of such partner) during the period beginning in 2017 and prior to the expiration, in 2027, of the maximum period for indemnification. If we were to trigger the tax protection provisions under these agreements, we would be required to pay damages, if any, in the amount of certain taxes payable by these contributors (plus additional damages in the amount of the taxes incurred as a result of such payment). In addition, although it may otherwise be in our stockholders’ best interest that we sell one of these properties, it may be economically prohibitive for us to do so because of these obligations.
Our tax protection agreements may require our operating partnership to maintain certain debt levels that otherwise would not be required to operate our business.
Our tax protection agreements provide that during the period from the closing of our IPO on June 29, 2010, through certain specified dates ranging from 2017 to 2027, our operating partnership will offer certain holders of units who continue to hold the units received in respect of the formation transactions the opportunity to guarantee debt. If we fail to make such opportunities available, we will be required to indemnify such holders for certain tax liabilities, if any, resulting from our failure to make such opportunities available to them (and any tax liabilities payable as a result of the indemnity payment). We
23
agreed to these provisions in order to assist certain contributors in deferring the recognition of taxable gain as a result of and after the formation transactions. These obligations may require us to maintain more or different indebtedness than we would otherwise require for our business.
We are a holding company with no direct operations and, as such, we rely on funds received from our operating partnership to pay liabilities, and the interests of our stockholders are structurally subordinated to all liabilities and obligations of our operating partnership and its subsidiaries.
We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our operations through our operating partnership. We do not have, apart from an interest in our operating partnership, any independent operations. As a result, we rely on distributions from our operating partnership to pay any dividends we might declare on our common stock. We also rely on distributions from our operating partnership to meet our obligations, including any tax liability on taxable income allocated to us from our operating partnership. In addition, because we are a holding company, claims of our equity holders will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities and obligations (whether or not for borrowed money) of our operating partnership and its subsidiaries and subordinate to the rights of holders of Series A preferred units. Therefore, in the event of our bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization, our assets and those of our operating partnership and its subsidiaries will be available to satisfy the claims of our stockholders only after all of our and our operating partnership’s and its subsidiaries’ liabilities and obligations have been paid in full.
Risks Related to Our Status as a REIT
Failure to qualify as a REIT would have significant adverse consequences to us and the value of our stock.
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. We believe that we have operated in a manner that has allowed us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with such taxable year, and we intend to continue operating in such manner. We have not requested and do not plan to request a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service, or IRS, that we qualify as a REIT, and the statements in this Annual Report are not binding on the IRS or any court. Therefore, we cannot assure you that we have qualified as a REIT, or that we will remain qualified as such in the future. If we lose our REIT status, we will face serious tax consequences that would substantially reduce the funds available for distribution to you for each of the years involved because:
|
•
|
we would not be allowed a deduction for distributions to stockholders in computing our taxable income and would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates;
|
|
•
|
we also could be subject to the federal alternative minimum tax and possibly increased state and local taxes; and
|
|
•
|
unless we are entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, we could not elect to be taxed as a REIT for four taxable years following the year during which we were disqualified.
|
Any such corporate tax liability could be substantial and would reduce our cash available for, among other things, our operations and distributions to stockholders. In addition, if we fail to qualify as a REIT, we would not be required to make distributions to our stockholders. As a result of all these factors, our failure to qualify as a REIT also could impair our ability to expand our business and raise capital, and could materially and adversely affect the value of our securities.
Qualification as a REIT involves the application of highly technical and complex Code provisions for which there are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations. The complexity of these provisions and of the applicable Treasury regulations that have been promulgated under the Code, or the Treasury Regulations, is greater in the case of a REIT that, like us, holds its assets through a partnership. The determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. In order to qualify as a REIT, we must satisfy a number of requirements, including requirements regarding the ownership of our stock and requirements regarding the composition of our assets and our gross income. Also, we must make distributions to stockholders aggregating annually at least 90% of our net taxable income, excluding net capital gains.
We own and may acquire direct or indirect interests in one or more entities that have elected or will elect to be taxed as REITs under the Code (each, a “Subsidiary REIT”). A Subsidiary REIT is subject to the various REIT qualification requirements and other limitations described herein that are applicable to us. If a Subsidiary REIT were to fail to qualify as a REIT, then (i) that Subsidiary REIT would become subject to federal income tax, (ii) shares in such Subsidiary REIT would cease to be qualifying assets for purposes of the asset tests applicable to REITs, and (iii) it is possible that we would fail certain
24
of the asset tests applicable to REITs, in which event we would fail to qualify as a REIT unless we could avail ourselves of certain relief provisions.
In addition, legislation, new regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions may materially adversely affect our investors, our ability to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes or the desirability of an investment in a REIT relative to other investments.
Even if we qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to some federal, state and local income, property and excise taxes on our income or property and, in certain cases, a 100% penalty tax, in the event we sell property as a dealer. In addition, our taxable REIT subsidiaries will be subject to tax as regular corporations in the jurisdictions they operate.
If our operating partnership failed to qualify as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, we would cease to qualify as a REIT and suffer other adverse consequences.
We believe that our operating partnership is properly treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, our operating partnership is not subject to federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of its partners, including us, is allocated, and may be required to pay tax with respect to, its share of our operating partnership’s income. We cannot assure you, however, that the IRS will not challenge the status of our operating partnership or any other subsidiary partnership in which we own an interest as a partnership for federal income tax purposes, or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the IRS were successful in treating our operating partnership or any such other subsidiary partnership as an entity taxable as a corporation for federal income tax purposes, we would fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, we would likely cease to qualify as a REIT. Also, the failure of our operating partnership or any subsidiary partnerships to qualify as a partnership would cause it to become subject to federal and state corporate income tax, which could reduce significantly the amount of cash available for debt service and for distribution to its partners, including us.
The tax imposed on REITs engaging in “prohibited transactions” may limit our ability to engage in transactions that would be treated as sales for federal income tax purposes.
A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% penalty tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Although we do not intend to hold any properties that would be characterized as held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our business, such characterization is a factual determination and we cannot assure you that the IRS would agree with our characterization of our properties or that we will always be able to make use of the available safe harbors, which, if met, would prevent any such sales from being treated as prohibited transactions.
Our ownership of taxable REIT subsidiaries is subject to certain restrictions, and we will be required to pay a 100% penalty tax on certain income or deductions if our transactions with our taxable REIT subsidiaries are not conducted on arm’s length terms.
We currently own an interest in one taxable REIT subsidiary and may acquire securities in additional taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. A taxable REIT subsidiary is a corporation other than a REIT in which a REIT directly or indirectly holds stock, and that has made a joint election with such REIT to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. If a taxable REIT subsidiary owns more than 35% of the total voting power or value of the outstanding securities of another corporation, such other corporation will also be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary. Other than some activities relating to lodging and health care facilities, a taxable REIT subsidiary may generally engage in any business, including the provision of customary or non-customary services to tenants of its parent REIT. A taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to federal income tax as a regular C corporation. In addition, a 100% excise tax will be imposed on certain transactions between a taxable REIT subsidiary and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s length basis. A REIT’s ownership of securities of a taxable REIT subsidiary is not subject to the 5% or 10% asset tests applicable to REITs. Not more than 25% of our total assets may be represented by securities, including securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries, other than those securities includable in the 75% asset test. Further, for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, not more than 20% of our total assets may be represented by securities of taxable REIT subsidiaries. We anticipate that the aggregate value of the stock and securities of any taxable REIT subsidiaries and other nonqualifying assets that we own will be less than 25% of the value of our total assets, and we will monitor the value of these investments to ensure compliance with applicable ownership limitations. In addition, we intend to structure our transactions with any taxable REIT subsidiaries that we own to ensure that they are entered into on arm’s length terms to avoid incurring the 100% excise tax described above. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to comply with these limitations or avoid application of the 100% excise tax discussed above.
25
To maintain our REIT status, we may be forced to borrow funds during unfavorable market conditions.
To qualify as a REIT, we generally must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our net taxable income each year, excluding net capital gains, and we will be subject to regular corporate income taxes to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income each year. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions paid by us in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years. In order to maintain our REIT status and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes, we may need to borrow funds to meet the REIT distribution requirements even if the then prevailing market conditions are not favorable for these borrowings. These borrowing needs could result from, among other things, differences in timing between the actual receipt of cash and inclusion of income for federal income tax purposes, or the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves or required debt or amortization payments. These sources, however, may not be available on favorable terms or at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends on a number of factors, including the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current debt levels, the market price of our common stock, and our current and potential future earnings. We cannot assure you that we will have access to such capital on favorable terms at the desired times, or at all, which may cause us to curtail our investment activities and/or to dispose of assets at inopportune times, and could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, cash available for distributions to our stockholders, and per share trading price of our securities.
Complying with REIT requirements may affect our profitability and may force us to liquidate or forgo otherwise attractive investments.
To qualify as a REIT, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the nature and diversification of our assets, the sources of our income and the amounts we distribute to our stockholders. We may be required to liquidate or forgo otherwise attractive investments in order to satisfy the asset and income tests or to qualify under certain statutory relief provisions. We also may be required to make distributions to stockholders at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. As a result, having to comply with the distribution requirement could cause us to: (i) sell assets in adverse market conditions; (ii) borrow on unfavorable terms; or (iii) distribute amounts that would otherwise be invested in future acquisitions, capital expenditures or repayment of debt. Accordingly, satisfying the REIT requirements could have an adverse effect on our business results, profitability and ability to execute our business plan. Moreover, if we are compelled to liquidate our investments to meet any of these asset, income or distribution tests, or to repay obligations to our lenders, we may be unable to comply with one or more of the requirements applicable to REITs or may be subject to a 100% tax on any resulting gain if such sales constitute prohibited transactions.
Dividends payable by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.
Income from “qualified dividends” payable to United States stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates are generally subject to tax at preferential rates. Dividends payable by REITs, however, generally are not eligible for the preferential tax rates applicable to qualified dividend income. Although these rules do not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or dividends payable by REITs, to the extent that the preferential rates continue to apply to regular corporate qualified dividends, investors who are individuals, trusts and estates may perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could materially and adversely affect the value of the shares of REITs, including the per share trading price of our securities.
The power of our board of directors to revoke our REIT election without stockholder approval may cause adverse consequences to our stockholders and unitholders.
Our charter provides that our board of directors may revoke or otherwise terminate our REIT election, without the approval of our stockholders, if it determines that it is no longer in our best interest to continue to qualify as a REIT. If we cease to qualify as a REIT, we would become subject to United States federal income tax on our taxable income and would no longer be required to distribute most of our taxable income to our stockholders and accordingly, distributions Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. makes to its unitholders could be similarly reduced.
26
Legislative or other actions affecting REITs could have a negative effect on our investors and us.
The rules dealing with federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the United States Department of the Treasury. Changes to the tax laws, with or without retroactive application, could adversely affect our investors or us. We cannot predict how changes in the tax laws might affect our investors or us. New legislation, Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could significantly and negatively affect our ability to qualify as a REIT, the federal income tax consequences of such qualification, or the federal income tax consequences of an investment in us. Also, the law relating to the tax treatment of other entities, or an investment in other entities, could change, making an investment in such other entities more attractive relative to an investment in a REIT.
None.

Media and Entertainment Portfolio
Our portfolio of operating properties includes two properties that we consider to be media and entertainment properties, comprising an aggregate of
879,652
square feet. We define our media and entertainment properties as those properties in our portfolio that are primarily used for the physical production of media content, such as television programs, feature films, commercials, music videos and photographs. These properties generally also feature a traditional office component that is leased to production companies and content providers. The 12 month average percent leased for 2016 was approximately
89.1%
for our media and entertainment properties. Our media and entertainment properties are located in prime Southern California submarkets.
Leasing Characteristics of Media and Entertainment Properties
The duration of typical lease terms for tenants of media and entertainment properties tends to be shorter than those of traditional office properties. Generally, lease terms are one year or less, as tenants are never certain as to whether their productions will continue to be carried by networks or cable channels. However, historically, many entertainment tenants have exercised renewal options such that their actual tenancy is extended for multiple years. Additionally, occupancy levels for sound stage space and office and support space tend to run in parallel, as a majority of stage users also require office and support space. In addition, we require tenants at our media and entertainment properties to use our facilities for items such as lighting, equipment rental, parking, power, HVAC and telecommunications (telephone and internet). Accordingly, our other property-related revenues tend to track overall occupancy of our media and entertainment properties. As a result of the short-term nature of the leases into which we enter at our media and entertainment properties, and because entertainment industry tenants generally do not shoot on weekends due to higher costs, we believe stabilized occupancy rates at our media and entertainment properties are lower than those rates achievable at our traditional office assets, where tenants enter into longer-term lease arrangements.
Description of Our Media and Entertainment Properties
Sunset Gower Studios, Hollywood, California
Sunset Gower Studios is a 15.7-acre media and entertainment property located in the heart of Hollywood, four blocks west of the Hollywood (101) Freeway. The property encompasses almost an entire city block, bordered by Sunset Boulevard to the north, Gower Street to the west, Gordon Street to the east and Fountain Avenue to the south. The property, a fixture in the Los Angeles-based entertainment industry since it was built in the 1920s, served as Columbia Pictures’ headquarters through 1972 and is now one of the largest independent media and entertainment properties in the United States. Sunset Gower Studios provides a fully-integrated environment for its media and entertainment-focused tenants within which they can access creative
35
and technical talent for film and television production as well as post-production. Sunset Gower Studios typically serves as home to single-camera television and motion picture production tenants. The 12 month average percent leased for 2016 was approximately
89.0%
at Sunset Gower Studios.
In addition to Sunset Gower Studios’ existing facilities, the current zoning designation for Sunset Gower Studios, M1-1—Limited Industrial, City of Los Angeles, permits a floor area ratio, or FAR, of 1.5x, which implies a maximum allowable density of 1,022,933 square feet, or an incremental 423,436 square feet above the existing 599,497 floor area ratio, including the Technicolor Building. However, as of
December 31, 2016
, we had no immediate plans to develop additional facilities on the property.
Sunset Bronson Studios, Hollywood, California
Sunset Bronson Studios is a 10.6 acre media and entertainment property located in the heart of Hollywood, one block west of the Hollywood (101) Freeway and in close proximity to the Sunset Gower Studios property. The property encompasses a full city block, bordered by Sunset Boulevard to the north, Bronson Avenue to the west, Van Ness Avenue to the east and Fernwood Avenue to the south. The property, which was built in phases from 1924 through 1981, formerly served as Warner Brothers Studios’ headquarters and has been continuously operated as a media and entertainment property since the 1920s. The property includes a Historical-Cultural Monument designation for the Site of the Filming of the First Talking Film (
The Jazz Singer
) that is specific to the building structure that fronts Sunset Boulevard. Similar to nearby Sunset Gower Studios, Sunset Bronson Studios is a multi-use property with a full complement of production, post-production and support facilities that enable its media and entertainment focused tenants to conduct their business in a collaborative and efficient setting. In contrast to Sunset Gower Studios, which typically serves single-camera television and motion picture productions, Sunset Bronson Studios caters to multi-camera television productions, such as game shows, talk shows or courtroom shows that record in video and require a control room to manage and edit the productions’ multiple cameras. The 12 month average percent leased for 2016 was approximately
89.4%
at Sunset Bronson Studios.
In addition to Sunset Bronson Studios' existing facilities, the current zoning designation for Sunset Bronson Studios, M1-1—Limited Industrial, City of Los Angeles, permits a FAR of 1.5x, which implies a maximum allowable density of 689,565 square feet or an incremental 391,836 square feet above the existing 297,729 total FAR, including the KTLA portion of the property.
Sunset Bronson Studios Lot A
In connection with our purchase of Sunset Bronson Studios in 2008, we acquired a 67,381-square-foot undeveloped lot located on the northwest corner of Sunset Boulevard and Bronson Avenue. The lot is located two blocks west of the I-101 Freeway, between the Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios properties. The site is currently used as a surface parking lot and can be developed to include up to 60,855 square feet of retail and office space based on current zoning, with the opportunity to add additional developable square footage through certain municipal land entitlement approvals. We estimate that with further entitlements, we could increase the developable square footage to approximately 273,913 square feet. While we are holding this property for its development potential, we do not currently have any plans for its development.
From time to time, we are a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings arising out of, or incident to, our ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any legal proceedings that we believe to be material or that, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows if determined adversely to us.
Not applicable.

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 IV, Item 15(a). Statements contained in this Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. Some of the information presented is forward-looking in nature, including information concerning projected future occupancy rates, rental rate increases, property development timing and investment amounts. Although the information is based on our current expectations, actual results could vary from expectations stated in this report. Numerous factors will affect our actual results, some of which are beyond our control. These include the breadth and duration of the current economic recession and its impact on our tenants, the strength of commercial and industrial real estate markets, market conditions affecting tenants, competitive market conditions, interest rate levels, volatility in our stock price and capital market conditions. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information, which speaks only as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking information, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except to the extent we are required to do so in connection with our ongoing requirements under federal securities laws to disclose material information. For a discussion of 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 referred to in the forward-looking information, see Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and the discussion under the captions “Forward-looking Statements”
above and “Liquidity and Capital Resources” contained in this Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this report might not occur.

Held for Sale
On December 30, 2016, we entered into an agreement to sell our 222 Kearny Street property for
$51.8
million (before certain credits, prorations and closing costs). We determined that this property met the criteria to be classified as held for sale and reclassified the balances related to this property within the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
.
222 Kearny Street was subsequently sold on February 14, 2017. We applied
$45.0 million
of proceeds from the sale to pay down amounts outstanding under the unsecured revolving credit facility.
44
Redevelopment/Development
Properties are selected for redevelopment when we believe the result of doing so will render a higher economic return. We may engage in the development or redevelopment of office properties when market conditions support a favorable risk-adjusted return. A redevelopment can consist of a range of improvements to a property, and may constitute a complete structural renovation of a building or remodeling select areas to make the property more attractive to tenants. Redevelopment and development properties are excluded from our in-service portfolio to maintain consistency in evaluating our performance from period to period. The redevelopment and development process is generally capital-intensive and occurs over the course of several months or years. Commonly associated with newly-acquired properties, redevelopment efforts may also occur at properties we currently own. At December 31, 2016, there were a total of eight properties included in property under development in our Consolidated Balance Sheets:
Merrill Place Theater Building
,
875 Howard Street (1st Floor)
,
405 Mateo
,
4th & Traction
, 3402 Pico (Existing),
450 Alaskan Way
,

and

.
Financings
On May 3, 2016, we drew on the
$175.0 million
5
-Year Term Loan due November 2020 and
$125.0 million
7
-Year Term Loan due November 2022, both of which were entered into on November 17, 2015. Amounts drawn were used to fully pay down
$30.0 million
of the 901 Market mortgage loan that was set to mature on October 31, 2016, to partially pay down
$110.0 million
of the Sunset Gower Studios & Sunset Bronson Studios mortgage loans and
$100.0 million
of the
5
-Year Term Loan due April 2020.
On June 7, 2016, Pinnacle II Hudson MC Partners, our consolidated joint venture, entered into a
$87.0 million
ten
-year mortgage loan secured by our Pinnacle II office property. This new loan has a maturity date of June 11, 2026 and bears a fixed rate of
4.30%
per annum with interest only payable every month during the term of the loan and principal payment at maturity. Proceeds were used to fully pay down the previous loan secured by our Pinnacle II office property that was scheduled to mature on September 6, 2016.
On July 6, 2016, we entered into a private placement of debt for
$150.0 million
of
3.98%
guaranteed senior notes due July 6, 2026. The
$150.0 million
was drawn on July 6, 2016. Proceeds were used to pay down the unsecured revolving credit facility. We also secured an additional
$50.0 million
of funds from a private placement of
3.66%
guaranteed senior notes due September 15, 2023, which was drawn on September 15, 2016. Proceeds were used to pay down the unsecured revolving credit facility.
On October 7, 2016, we acquired Hill7 property through a consolidated joint venture. In conjunction with the acquisition, the joint venture closed a
$101.0 million
mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of
3.38%
per annum. This loan bears interest only payable every month during the term of the loan and principal payment at maturity.
Factors That May Influence Our Operating Results
Business and Strategy
We invest in Class-A office and media and entertainment properties located in high barrier-to-entry, innovation-centric submarkets with significant growth potential. Our positioning within these submarkets allows us to attract and retain quality, growth companies as tenants, many in the technology, media and entertainment sectors. The purchase of properties with a value-add component, typically through off-market transactions, also facilitates our growth. These types of assets afford us the opportunity to capture embedded rent growth and occupancy upside, and to strategically invest capital to reposition and redevelop assets to generate additional cash flow. We take a more measured approach to ground-up development, with most under construction, planned or potential projects located on ancillary sites part of existing operating assets. Management expertise across disciplines supports execution at all levels of the company’s operations. In particular, aggressive leasing and proactive asset management, combined with a focus on conservatively managing our balance sheet, are central to our strategy.
45
Rental Revenue
The amount of net rental revenue generated by the properties in our portfolio depends principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space that becomes available from lease terminations. As of
December 31, 2016
, the percent leased for our in-service office properties was approximately
91.2%
(or
88.7%
, excluding leases signed but not commenced as of that date), and the percent leased for the media and entertainment properties (based on 12-month trailing average) was approximately
89.1%
. The amount of rental revenue generated by us also depends on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. We believe that the average rental rates for our office properties are generally below the current average quoted market rate. We believe the average rental rates for our media and entertainment properties are generally equal to current average quoted market rates. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental revenue in future periods. Future economic downturns or regional downturns affecting our submarkets or downturns in our tenants’ industries that impair our ability to renew or re-let space and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments, as in the case of tenant bankruptcies, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. In addition, growth in rental revenue will also partially depend on our ability to acquire additional properties that meet our investment criteria.
Conditions in Our Markets
The properties in our portfolio are all located in Northern and Southern California and the Pacific Northwest submarkets. Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions in Northern and Southern California or the Pacific Northwest, including state budgetary shortfalls, employment rates, natural hazards and other factors, may impact our overall performance.
Operating Expenses
Our operating expenses generally consist of utilities, property and
ad valorem
taxes, insurance and site maintenance costs. Increases in these expenses over tenants’ base years are generally passed on to tenants in our full-service gross leased properties and are generally paid in full by tenants in our net lease properties. Certain of our properties have been reassessed for property tax purposes as a result of our IPO or their subsequent acquisition and other reassessments remain pending. In the case of completed reassessments, the amount of property taxes we pay reflects the valuations established with the county assessors for the relevant locations of each property as of IPO or their subsequent acquisition. With respect to pending reassessments, we similarly expect the amount of property taxes we pay to reflect the valuations established with such county assessors.
Taxable REIT Subsidiary
Hudson Pacific Services, Inc., or our services company, is a Maryland corporation that is wholly owned by our operating partnership. We have elected, together with our services company, to treat our services company as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes, and we may form additional taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. Our services company generally may provide both customary and non-customary services to our tenants and engage in other activities that we may not engage in directly without adversely affecting our qualification as a REIT. Our services company and its wholly owned subsidiaries provide a number of services to certain tenants at our media and entertainment properties and, from time to time, one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries may provide services to our tenants at these and other properties. In addition, our operating partnership has contributed some or all of its interests in certain wholly owned subsidiaries or their assets to our services company. We currently lease space to wholly owned subsidiaries of our services company at our media and entertainment properties and may, from time to time, enter into additional leases with one or more taxable REIT subsidiaries. Any income earned by our taxable REIT subsidiaries will not be included in our taxable income for purposes of the
75%
or
95%
gross income tests, except to the extent such income is distributed to us as a dividend, in which case such dividend income will qualify under the
95%
, but not the
75%
, gross income test. Because a taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to federal income tax, and state and local income tax (where applicable), as a regular C corporation, the income earned by our taxable REIT subsidiaries generally will be subject to an additional level of tax as compared to the income earned by our other subsidiaries.
Critical Accounting Policies
Investment in Real Estate Properties
Acquisitions
Our acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method. The results of operations for each of these acquisitions are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition.
46
During the fourth quarter of 2016 we early adopted ASU 2017-01,
Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business
(“ASU 2017-01”), which changes the definition of a business. Acquisitions of integrated sets of assets and activities that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as an asset acquisition.
We evaluate each acquisition of real estate to determine if the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meet the definition of a business and need to be accounted for as a business combination. An integrated set of assets and activities would fail to qualify as a business if either (i) substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets or (ii) the integrated set of assets and activities is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e. revenue generated before and after the transaction). An acquired process is considered substantive if (i) the process includes an organized workforce (or includes an acquired contract that provides access to an organized workforce), that is skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced in performing the process, (ii) the process cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay or (iii) the process is considered unique or scarce.
Acquisitions of real estate will generally not meet the revised definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e. land, buildings and improvements and related intangible assets or liabilities) or because the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay.
When we acquire properties that are considered business combinations, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are fair valued at the acquisition date. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed include, but are not limited to, land, building and improvements, intangible assets related to above-and below-market leases, intangible assets related to in-place leases, debt and other assumed assets and liabilities. The initial accounting for a business combination is based on management’s preliminary assessment, which may differ when final information becomes available. Subsequent adjustments made to the initial purchase price assignment are made within the measurement period, which typically does not exceed one year, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Acquisition-related expenses associated with business combinations are expensed in the period incurred.
When we acquire properties that are considered asset acquisitions, the purchase price is allocated based on relative fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. There is no measurement period concept for asset acquisitions, with the purchase price accounting being final in the period of acquisition. Additionally, acquisition-related expenses associated with asset acquisition are capitalized as part of the purchase price.
We assess fair value based on Level 2 and Level 3 inputs within the fair value framework, which includes estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount, capitalization rates, renewal probability and available market information, which includes market rental rate and market rent growth rates. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions.
The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it was vacant. The fair value of acquired “above- and below-” market leases are based on the estimated cash flow projections utilizing discount rates that reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired. The amount recorded is based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the extended term for any leases with below-market renewal options. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, we include estimates of lost rents at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, which are dependent on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, we consider leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.
47
Cost Capitalization
We capitalize direct construction and development costs, including predevelopment costs, interest, property taxes, insurance and other costs directly related and essential to the acquisition, development or construction of a real estate project. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits, office rent, and associated costs for those individuals directly responsible for and who spend their time on development activities are also capitalized and allocated to the projects to which they relate. Construction and development costs are capitalized while substantial activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. We consider a construction project as substantially complete and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements but no later than
one
year after cessation of major construction activity. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, or after development activities have ceased, are expensed as they are incurred. Costs previously capitalized related to abandoned acquisitions or developments are charged to earnings. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as they are incurred.
Operating Properties
The properties are generally carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We compute depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as represented in the table below:
|
Asset Description
|
Estimated useful life (years)
|
|
|
Building and improvements
|
Shorter of the ground lease term or 39 years
|
|
|
Land improvements
|
15
|
|
|
Furniture and fixtures
|
5 to 7
|
|
|
Tenant improvements
|
Shorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term
|
|
We amortize above- and below-market lease intangibles to the rental line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining non-cancellable lease terms and bargain renewal periods, if applicable. The in-place lease intangibles are amortized to the depreciation and amortization line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining non-cancellable lease term. When tenants vacate prior to the expiration of their lease, the amortization of intangible assets and liabilities is accelerated. We amortize above- and below-market ground lease intangibles to the office operating expense and media and entertainment operating expense line items of the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining non-cancellable lease terms.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We assess the carrying value of real estate assets and related intangibles for impairment on a quarterly basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“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. We recognize impairment losses to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the properties.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from tenant defaults or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments. We monitor the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants and operators on an ongoing basis. This evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, property performance, credit enhancements and other factors. We evaluate the collectability of accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. The allowance for doubtful accounts is based on specific identification of uncollectible accounts and our historical collection experience. We recognize an allowance for doubtful accounts based on the length of time the receivables are past due, the current business environment and our historical experience. Historical experience has been within management’s expectations. For straight-line rent amounts, our assessment is based on amounts estimated to be recoverable over the term of the lease. We evaluate the collectability of straight-line rent receivables based on length of time the related rental receivables are past due, the current business environment and historical experience.
Revenue Recognition
We recognize rental revenue from tenants on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. If the lease provides for tenant
48
improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
|
•
|
whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
|
|
•
|
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
|
|
•
|
whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general-purpose in nature; and
|
|
•
|
whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.
|
Certain leases provide for additional rents contingent upon a percentage of the tenant’s revenue in excess of specified base amounts or other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized when actual results reported by the tenant, or estimates of tenant results, exceed the base amount or other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized only after the contingency has been removed (when the related thresholds are achieved), which may result in the recognition of rental revenue in periods subsequent to when such payments are received.
Other property-related revenue is revenue that is derived from the tenants’ use of lighting, equipment rental, parking, power, HVAC and telecommunications (telephone and internet). Other property-related revenue is recognized when these items are provided.
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 we are generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, have discretion in selecting the supplier and bear the associated credit risk.
We recognize gains on sales of properties upon the closing of the transaction with the purchaser. Gains on properties sold are recognized using the full accrual method when (i) the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured, (ii) we are not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale, (iii) the initial investment from the buyer is sufficient and (iv) other profit recognition criteria have been satisfied. Gains on sales of properties may be deferred in whole or in part until the requirements for gain recognition have been met.
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation cost of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units under our equity incentive award plans are accounted for under ASC Topic 718,
Compensation-Stock Compensation
(“ASC 718”). During the fourth quarter of 2016, we early adopted ASU 2016-09,
Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
(“ASU 2016-09”), and elected to account for forfeitures of awards as they occur.
Our compensation committee will regularly consider the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions, especially in connection with decisions that relate to our equity incentive award plans and programs.
Income Taxes
Our 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 Street and Hill7 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.
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. We believe that we have operated in a manner that has allowed us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with such taxable year, and we intend to continue operating in such manner. To qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our net taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to our stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to such matters as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership.
49
Provided that we continue to qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and are unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of our taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, we would be ineligible to elect to be treated as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year for which we lose our qualification. It is not possible to state whether in all circumstances we would be entitled to this statutory relief.
We own and may acquire direct or indirect interests in one or more Subsidiary REITs. A Subsidiary REIT is subject to the various REIT qualification requirements and other limitations described herein that are applicable to us. If a subsidiary REIT were to fail to qualify as a REIT, then (i) that Subsidiary REIT would become subject to federal income tax, (ii) shares in such REIT would cease to be qualifying assets for purposes of the asset tests applicable to REITs and (iii) it is possible that we would fail certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs, in which event we would fail to qualify as a REIT unless we could avail ourselves of certain relief provisions.
We believe that our operating partnership is properly treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, our operating partnership is not subject to federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of its partners, including us, is allocated, and may be required to pay tax with respect to, its share of our operating partnership’s income. As such, no provision for federal income taxes has been included for the operating partnership.
We have elected, together with
one
of our subsidiaries, to treat such subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes. Certain activities that we may undertake, such as non-customary services for our tenants and holding assets that we cannot hold directly, will be conducted by a TRS. A TRS is subject to federal and, where applicable, state income taxes on its net income.
We are subject to the statutory requirements of the states in which we conduct business.
We periodically evaluate our 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
December 31, 2016
, we have not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.
We and our TRS file income tax returns with the United States federal government and various state and local jurisdictions. We and our TRS are no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2012. Generally, we have assessed our tax positions for all open years, which include 2012 to 2016, and concluded that there are no material uncertainties to be recognized.

Comparison of the year ended
December 31, 2016
to the year ended
December 31, 2015
Net Operating Income
We evaluate performance based upon property net operating income (“NOI”) from continuing operations. NOI is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to income from continuing operations, as an indication of our performance, or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, or our ability to make distributions. All companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be a useful performance measure to investors and management, because when compared across periods, NOI reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating our properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations. We calculate net operating income as net income (loss) excluding corporate general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairments, gains/losses on sales of real estate, interest expense, acquisition-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 on a GAAP basis, 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.
Management further evaluates 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 January 1,
2015
and still owned and included in the stabilized portfolio as of
December 31, 2016
,
|
|
•
|
Non-Same-Store properties, development projects, redevelopment properties, and lease-up properties as of
December 31, 2016
; and other properties not owned or in operation from January 1,
2015
through
December 31, 2016
. The activity from the EOP acquisition is included in non-same store properties.

December 31, 2016

NOI increased
$79.9 million
, or
24.1%
, for the year ended
December 31, 2016
as compared to the year ended
December 31, 2015
, primarily resulting from:
|
•
|
A
$13.7 million
or
11.2%
increase in NOI from our same-store office properties resulting primarily from higher rents, in turn resulting primarily from rental income related to new leases signed at our 1455 Market Street (Uber and Vevo) and 625 Second Street (Anaplan, Metamarkets and Github) properties at higher rents than expiring leases, and increased tenant recoveries due to increased property tax recoveries arising from the reassessment of the Technicolor Building and Element LA. The increase was partially offset by straight-line rent write-off related to our 875 Howard Street property (Heald College) recognized in the second quarter of 2015 and decreased tenant recoveries due to lower property tax recoveries resulting from the reassessment of the 1455 Market Street property.
|
|
•
|
A
$61.1 million
or
31.5%
increase in net operating income from our non-same-store properties driven primarily by the EOP Acquisition and 2016 acquisitions. The increase was also related to higher rents and occupancy due to lease-up of our Element LA (Riot Games), 901 Market Street (Saks), Page Mill Center (Toyota Research Institute and Stanford), Skyport Plaza (Qualcomm), Lockheed, and Metro Center (BrightEdge) properties. The increase was partially offset by the sale of our First Financial (sold in March 2015), Bay Park Plaza (sold in September 2015), Bayhill Office Center (sold in January 2016) and One Bay Plaza (sold in June 2016) properties.
|
|
•
|
A
$5.2 million
or
33.7%
increase in NOI from our same-store media and entertainment properties resulting primarily from higher occupancy at Sunset Bronson Studios and Sunset Gower Studios. In the first quarter of 2015, we decided to take certain buildings and stages offline to facilitate our Icon and CUE developments and other longer-term plans for the Sunset Bronson Studios property. In addition, other property-related revenues increased primarily due to the completion of parking structures at Sunset Bronson Studios and Sunset Gower Studios in the fourth quarter of 2015. The increase in other property-related revenue largely resulted from higher production activity and revenues associated with lighting and grip at Sunset Bronson Studios.

$11.4 million
or
7.9%
to
$156.3 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to
$144.8 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. The increase is primarily due to rental income relating to new leases signed at our 1455 Market Street (Uber and Vevo) and 625 Second Street (Anaplan, Metamarkets and Github) properties at higher rents than expiring leases. The increase was partially offset by a straight-line rent write-off related to the 875 Howard Street property (Heald College) recognized in the second quarter of 2015.

or
2.7%
to
$28.5 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to
$27.7 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. The increase is primarily related to increased property tax recovery resulting from reassessments of the Technicolor Building and Element LA properties, partially offset by lower property tax recovery resulting from a reassessment of the 1455 Market Street property.
Same-Store office parking and other revenue was
$16.1 million
for the year ended

compared to
$249.7 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015

The increase was also related to higher rents and occupancy attributable to lease-up of our Element LA (Riot Games), 901 Market Street (Saks), Page Mill Center (Toyota Research Institute and Stanford), Skyport Plaza (Qualcomm), Lockheed and Metro Center (BrightEdge) properties. The increase was partially offset by the sale of our First Financial (sold in March 2015), Bay Park Plaza (sold in September 2015), Bayhill Office Center (sold in January 2016) and One Bay Plaza (sold in June 2016) properties.
Non-Same-Store office tenant recoveries increased

$55.9 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to
$38.5 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. The increase is primarily attributable to the EOP Acquisition, 11601 Wilshire acquisition, and 100% occupancy at our Element LA property, partially offset by the sale of our First Financial (sold in March 2015), Bay Park Plaza (sold in September 2015), Bayhill Office Center (sold in January 2016), and One Bay Plaza (sold in June 2016) properties.
Non-Same-Store office parking and other revenue was

compared to
$99.9 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015

Same-Store Media & Entertainment
Media and entertainment rental revenue, tenant recoveries and other property-related revenue increased by
$7.3 million
or
18.6%
to
$46.4 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to
$39.1 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. The increase is primarily attributable to a
$3.8 million
increase in rental revenues to
$26.8 million
and a
$2.5 million
increase in other property-related revenue to
$17.4 million
. The increase in rental revenue is primarily due to higher occupancy at Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios. The increase in other property-related revenue largely resulted from higher production activity and revenues associated with lighting and grip at Sunset Bronson Studios during the year ended
December 31, 2016
as compared to the same period in 2015.
Media and entertainment operating expenses increased by
$2.1 million
, or
8.8%
, to
$25.8 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to

General and administrative expenses increased
$13.9 million
, or
36.0%
, to
$52.4 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to
$38.5 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to stock-compensation awards, office expenses, shareholder relations costs and increased staffing to meet operational needs arising from growth related to the EOP Acquisition.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased
$24.0 million
, or
9.8%
, to
$269.1 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to
$245.1 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. The increase was primarily related to depreciation expenses associated with properties in the EOP Acquisition and acquisitions in 2016. The remaining increase is related to tenant improvement depreciation expense associated with the lease-up of our Element LA and 1455 Market Street properties, lease termination at our Rincon Center property, and increase in depreciation expense at Sunset Gower Studios related to the recently completed parking garage, partially offset by the reduction of depreciation expense as a result of the sale of our 2015 and 2016 disposed properties, and increased depreciation expense related to our 875 Howard Street property (Heald College) due to an early termination in the second quarter of 2015.
Interest expense increased
$25.4 million
, or
50.1%
, to
$76.0 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to
$50.7 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. At
December 31, 2016
, we had
$2.71 billion
, before deferred loan costs recorded as a net against the loan balance, of notes payable, compared to
$2.28 billion
at
December 31, 2015
. The increase was primarily attributable to $400.0 million of term loans and private placement borrowings and additional borrowings related to our Hill7 loan, partially offset by interest savings related to our paydown of our five-year term loan due April 2020, repayment of our indebtedness associated with our 901 Market Street property, and paydown on our indebtedness associated with our Sunset Gower Studios/Sunset Bronson Studios property. The increase in interest expense was further offset by increased capitalized interest primarily due to the Icon, CUE, 4th & Traction, and 405 Mateo developments, partially offset by lower capitalized interest primarily due to Element LA redevelopment during the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.
We recognized unrealized loss of
$1.4 million
related to a portion of our derivative instruments that was evaluated to be ineffective in 2016. In July 2016, we amended the interest rate swaps to add a
0.00%
floor to one-month LIBOR, and then de-designated the original swap and designated the amended swaps as a hedge in order to minimize the ineffective portion of the original derivative instruments.
Acquisition-related expenses decreased
$43.0 million
, or
99.1%
, to
$0.4 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to
$43.3 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. We incurred
$43.3 million
of acquisition-related expenses associated with the EOP Acquisition and incurred
$0.4 million
of acquisition-related expenses associated with the acquisition of our 11601 Wilshire property purchased on July 1, 2016.
During 2016 we completed the sale of our Bayhill Office Center, Patrick Henry Drive, One Bay Plaza, and 12655 Jefferson properties and sale related to our option to acquire land at 9300 Culver, which generated gains of
$30.4 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
compared to a
$30.5 million
gain on sale of real estate for the year ended
December 31, 2015
resulting from the sale of our First Financial and Bay Park Plaza properties.

Net Operating Income increased $181.8 million, or 121.9%, for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily resulting from:
|
•
|
A $181.0 million or 1,134.2% increase in net operating income from our non-same-store properties resulting primarily from the EOP Acquisition on April 1, 2015. The remaining increase is a result of lease-up of our Element LA (Riot Games), 901 Market Street (Nordstrom Rack, Saks and Company, Nerdwallet), 3401 Exposition (Deluxe Entertainment Services) properties and income from our purchase of the Broadway properties-secured note receivable, which we purchased on August 19, 2014. This increase was partially offset by the sale of our First Financial property on March 5, 2015 and the sale of our Tierrasanta property on July 16, 2014.
|
|
•
|
A $0.8 million or 0.7% decrease in net operating income from our same-store office properties resulting primarily from a decrease in lease termination fees in the current year as compared to the prior year. During the year ended December 31, 2014 we received one-time lease termination fees from Fox Interactive ($3.1 million) and The Children’s Place ($1.2 million). The decrease was partially offset by the lease-up of our 1455 Market Street (Uber and Square) and Rincon Center (Sales Force) properties.
|
|
•
|
A $1.7 million or 12.2% increase in NOI from our same-store media and entertainment properties resulting primarily from the higher rental revenue generated by strong occupancy and heightened production activity at the Sunset Gower Studios property, partially offset by our decision to take certain buildings and stages offline to facilitate our Icon development and other longer-term plans for the Sunset Bronson Studios property.
|
The year-over-year changes in the items that comprise same-store net operating income are primarily attributable to the factors discussed below.
Same-Store Office
Same-Store office rental revenue increased $6.2 million or 4.5% to $142.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $136.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase is primarily due to rental income relating
61
to new leases signed at our 1455 Market Street (Uber and Square) and Rincon Center (Sales Force) properties at higher rents than expiring leases, partially offset by a one-time GAAP straight line rent write-off at our 875 Howard Street property (Heald College).
Same-Store office tenant recoveries decreased by $5.2 million or 15.9% to $27.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $32.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease is primarily related to $3.6 million of
one-time property tax recoveries resulting from the reassessment of the 1455 Market Street and Rincon Center properties, and
to a lesser extent other assets within the San Francisco portfolio, for all applicable periods prior to the third quarter of 2014.
Same-Store office parking and other revenue decreased by $4.2 million or 21.3% to $15.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $19.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease is primarily due to a one time termination fee at our 625 Second Street (Fox Interactive) and 222 Kearny Street (The Children’s Place) properties recognized in 2014.
Same-Store office operating expenses decreased by $2.3 million or 3.3% to $67.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $69.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease is primarily due to one time property tax expenses of $4.7 million resulting from the reassessment of the 1455 Market Street and Rincon Center properties, and to a lesser extent other assets within the San Francisco portfolio, for all applicable periods prior to the third quarter of 2014, partially offset by increases in operating expenses across all same store properties.
Same-Store Media & Entertainment
Media and entertainment rental revenue, tenant recoveries and other property-related revenue decreased by $0.5 million or 1.3% to $39.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $39.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease is primarily due to the decision to take certain buildings and stages offline to facilitate the Icon development and other longer-term plans for the Sunset Bronson Studios property, partially offset by higher tenant recoveries generated by strong occupancy at the Sunset Gower Studios property.
Media and entertainment operating expenses decreased $2.2 million, or 8.4%, to $23.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $25.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The decrease is the result of our decision to take certain buildings and stages offline to facilitate the Icon development and other longer-term plans for the Sunset Bronson Studios property, partially offset by additional lighting expense in connection with the heightened production activity at the Sunset Gower Studios property.
Other Expense (Income)
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 $10.3 million, or 36.4%, to $38.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $28.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in general and administrative expenses was primarily attributable to the adoption of the 2015 OPP Plan and increased staffing to meet operational needs stemming from growth related to the EOP Acquisition, which was completed on April 1, 2015.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $172.9 million, or 239.4%, to $245.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $72.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily related to depreciation expenses associated with the EOP Acquisition on April 1, 2015. The remaining increase is a result of the assets associated with the early termination of a tenant at our Howard Street property, lease-up of our Element LA, 1455 Market Street, 901 Market Street and 3401 Exposition properties, partially offset by the reduction of depreciation expense as a result of the sale of our First Financial property on March 5, 2015 and sale of our Tierrasanta property on July 16, 2014.
Interest expense increased $24.7 million, or 95.4%, to $50.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $25.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. At December 31, 2015, we had $2,278.4 million, before deferred loan costs recorded as a net against the loan balance, of notes payable, compared to $957.5 million at December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily attributable to $1.3 billion of term loan borrowings used to finance the EOP Acquisition, partially offset by interest savings related to our repayment of indebtedness associated with our 6922 Hollywood, 275 Brannan Street and First & King properties and repayment of debt associated with the sale of our First Financial property on March 5, 2015.
62
Acquisition-related expenses increased $38.7 million, or 833.8%, to $43.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase is primarily a result of acquisition costs related to the EOP Acquisition.
Gain on sale of real estate increase by $24.9 million, or 450.2% to $30.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared to $5.5 million or the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase in gain on sale is a result of the sales of First Financial on March 5, 2015 for $89.0 million (before certain credits, prorations and closing costs) and Bay Park Plaza on September 29, 2015 for $90.0 million (before certain credits, prorations and closing costs) generating $30.5 million of gain on sale of real estate for the year ended December 31, 2015 as compared to a $5.5 million gain on sale of real estate for the year ended December 31, 2014 resulting from the sale of our Tierrasanta property for $19.5 million (before certain credits, prorations and closing costs) on July 16, 2014.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources
We had approximately
$83.0 million
of cash and cash equivalents at
December 31, 2016
.
As of
December 31, 2016
, we had total borrowing capacity of
$400.0 million
under our unsecured revolving credit facility,
$300.0 million
of which had been drawn.
We have an ATM program which allows us to sell up to
$125.0
million of common stock,
$20.1 million
of which has been sold through
December 31, 2016
.
On January 20, 2016, our board of directors authorized a share repurchase program to buy up to
$100.0
million of our outstanding common stock. No share repurchases were made during 2016.
We intend to use the unsecured revolving credit facility and ATM program, among other things, to finance the acquisition of other properties, to provide funds for tenant improvements and capital expenditures, and to provide for working capital and other corporate purposes.
Based on the closing price of our common stock of
$34.78
as of
December 31, 2016
, our ratio of debt to total market capitalization was approximately
34.5%
(counting Series A preferred units as debt) as of
December 31, 2016
. Our total market capitalization is defined as the sum of the market value of our outstanding common stock (which may decrease, thereby increasing our debt to total capitalization ratio), including restricted stock that we may issue to certain of our directors and executive officers, plus the aggregate value of common units not owned by us, plus the liquidation preference of outstanding Series A preferred units, plus the book value of our total consolidated indebtedness.
Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our limited partners and dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT status, capital expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through cash on hand, net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash and, if necessary, by drawing upon our unsecured revolving credit facility.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the repayment of debt at maturity, property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements using our unsecured revolving credit facility pending permanent financing.
We believe we have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of additional equity. However, our ability to incur additional debt will be dependent 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. Our ability to access the equity capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about us.
63
Our indebtedness creates the possibility that we may be unable to generate cash sufficient to pay the principal of, interest on or other amounts in respect of our indebtedness and other obligations. In addition, we may incur additional debt from time to time to finance strategic acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or for other purposes, subject to the restrictions contained in the documents governing our indebtedness. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase.
As of
December 31, 2016
, we had outstanding notes payable of
$2.71 billion
(before
$19.8 million
of deferred finance costs), of which
$1.47 billion
, or
54.3%
, was variable rate debt.
$839.5 million
of the variable rate debt is subject to derivative instruments described in Part IV, Item 15(a) “Financial Statement and Schedules—Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Derivative Instruments.”

Effective May 1, 2015,
$300.0 million
of the term loan has been effectively fixed at
2.66%
to
3.56%
per annum through the use of an interest rate swap. In July 2016, we amended this interest rate swap to add a
0.00%
floor to one-month LIBOR, and then de-designated the original swap and designated the amended swap as a hedge in order to minimize the ineffective portion of the original derivative instruments related to this loan. Therefore, the effective interest rate with respect to
$300.0 million
of the term loan increased to a range of
2.75%

3.65%
per annum. See Part IV, Item 15(a) “Financial Statement and Schedules—Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Derivative Instruments for details.

0.00%

Cash and cash equivalents were
$83.0 million
and
$53.6 million
at
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by
$44.8 million
or
25.6%
to
$219.6 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
as compared to
$174.9 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in cash NOI, as defined, from our office properties, arising primarily from the EOP Acquisition and 11601 Wilshire acquisition, increased occupancy and higher rental revenue across our portfolio. In addition, in 2016 we had lower acquisition-related costs.
66
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by
$1.27 billion
or
70.8%
to
$524.9 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
as compared to
$1.80 billion
for year ended
December 31, 2015
. The decrease was primarily attributable to less cash used for acquisitions, increased proceeds from sales of real estate investments in the current year, and cash proceeds from the repayment of notes receivable, partially offset by increased cash used for additions to investment in real estate and contributions to our unconsolidated entities.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by
$1.32 billion
or
79.8%
to
$334.8 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2016
as compared to
$1.66 billion
for the year ended
December 31, 2015
. The decrease was primarily due to repurchases of common units in our operating partnership in 2016, decrease in proceeds from notes payable and increase in dividends paid to common stockholders and unitholders, partially offset by an increase in proceeds from sale of common stock. Additionally, in 2015 we redeemed our Series B preferred stock.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds From Operations
We calculate FFO in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The calculation of FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. We 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 cost 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.

The primary market risk we face is interest rate risk. Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. As more fully described below, we use derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings. We only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors. For a summary of our outstanding indebtedness, see Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources.” For a summary of our derivative instruments, refer to Part IV, Item 15(a) “Financial Statement and Schedules—Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements—Derivative Instruments.”
Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.
As of
December 31, 2016
, we had a
$64.5
million mortgage loan secured by our Met Park North property. The full loan is subject to a derivative instrument that swaps one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of
2.16%
through the loan’s maturity on August 1, 2020. Therefore, the interest rate is effectively hedged at 3.71%.
An additional $300.0 million of our $450.0 million 5-Year Term Loan due April 2020 has been effectively hedged through two interest rate swaps, each with a notional amount of $150.0 million. Both derivative instruments swap one-month LIBOR, which include a 0.00% floor, to a fixed rate of 1.45% through the loan’s maturity. Therefore, the interest rate is effectively hedged within a range of
2.75%
to
3.65%
. The unhedged portion bears interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus 1.30% to 2.20%, depending on our leverage ratio.
An additional $350.0 million of the 7-Year Term Loan due April 2022 has been effectively hedged through two interest rate swaps. Both derivative instruments swap one-month LIBOR, which includes a 0.00% floor, to a fixed rate of 1.76% through the loan’s maturity. Therefore, the interest rate is effectively hedged within a range of
3.36%
to
4.31%
.
An additional $125.0 million of the 7-Year Term Loan due November 2022 has been effectively hedged through an interest rate swap. The derivative instrument swapped one-month LIBOR, which includes a 0.00% floor, to a fixed rate of 1.43% through the loan’s maturity. Therefore, the interest rate is effectively hedged within a range of 3.03% to 3.98%.
The remaining variable debt rate, which consists of our unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loans, are not subject to derivative instruments.
For sensitivity purposes, with respect to the
$300.0 million
drawn under our unsecured revolving credit facility, the
$450.0 million
drawn under our 5-Year Term Loan due April 2020 (
$150.0 million
of which is not subject to a derivative instrument), the
175.0 million
loan drawn under our 5-Year Term Loan due November 2020, and the
$5.0 million
on our mortgage loan secured by Sunset Gower Studios/Sunset Bronson Studios, if one-month LIBOR as of
December 31, 2016
was to increase by
100
basis points, or
1.0%
, the resulting increase in annual interest expense would impact our future earnings and cash flows by $
6.3 million
.
68
As of
December 31, 2016
, we had outstanding notes payable of
$2.71 billion
(before
$19.8 million
of net deferred financing costs), of which
$1.47 billion
, or
54.3%
, was variable rate debt.
$839.5 million
of the variable rate debt is subject to derivative instruments. As of
December 31, 2016
, the estimated fair value of our fixed rate secured mortgage loans was
$1.21 billion
. The estimated fair value of our variable rate debt equals the carrying value.

Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting (Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.)
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act.
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.’s system of internal control is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.’s financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP. Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
. In conducting its assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission on Internal Control-Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of
December 31, 2016
, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
Management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., does not expect that Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.’s disclosure controls and procedures, or Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.’s internal controls will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The management of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Our system of internal control is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of our financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. Our management, including the undersigned Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
. In conducting its assessment, management used the criteria issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission on Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 Framework). Based on this assessment, management concluded that, as of
December 31, 2016
, our internal control over financial reporting was effective based on those criteria.
Management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures, or our internal controls will prevent all error and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints and the benefit of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
, has been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial statements included in this annual report, as stated in their report appearing on page F-2, which expresses an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.
We have audited Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) (the COSO criteria). Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Report of Management on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
, based on
the COSO criteria
.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2016
, and our report dated
February 17, 2017
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders of
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the “Company”), as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2016
. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. at
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2016
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method for accounting for property acquisitions effective October 1, 2016 when the Company adopted ASU 2017-01,
Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business
.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2016
, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 Framework) and our report dated
February 17, 2017
expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Partners of Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), as of
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), capital, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2016
. Our audits also included the financial statement schedules listed in the Index at Item 15(a). These financial statements and schedule are the responsibility of the Operating Partnership’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. We were not engaged to perform an audit of the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Operating Partnership at
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, and the consolidated results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2016
in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also, in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly in all material respects the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method for accounting for property acquisitions effective October 1, 2016 when the Company adopted ASU 2017-01,

Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share data)
1. Organization
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on November 9, 2009 that did not have any meaningful operating activity until the consummation of its initial public offering and the related acquisition of its predecessor and certain other entities on June 29, 2010 (“IPO”). Since the completion of the IPO, the concurrent private placement, and the related formation transactions, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. has been a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Through its controlling interest in the operating partnership and its subsidiaries, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. owns, manages, leases, acquires and develops real estate, consisting primarily of office and media and entertainment properties. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in these financial statements to the “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 the “our operating partnership” or “the operating partnership” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
On April 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of the EOP Northern California Portfolio (“EOP Acquisition”) from Blackstone Real Estate Partners V and VI (“Blackstone”). The EOP Acquisition consisted of
26
high-quality office assets totaling approximately
8.2 million
square feet and
two
development parcels located throughout the San Francisco Peninsula, Redwood Shores, Palo Alto, Silicon Valley and North San Jose submarkets. The total consideration paid for the EOP Acquisition before certain credits, prorations and closing costs included a cash payment of
$1.75 billion
and an aggregate of
63,474,791
shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and common units in the operating partnership. Following a common stock offering and common unit repurchase on January 10, 2017, Blackstone no longer holds an ownership interest in the Company or the operating partnership.
As of
December 31, 2016
, the Company owned a portfolio of
54
office properties and
two
media and entertainment properties. These properties are located throughout Northern and Southern California and the Pacific Northwest.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
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”). Any reference to the number of properties and square footage are unaudited and outside the scope of the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm’s audit of the Company’s financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”).
Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the prior period, certain amounts have been reclassified to held for sale. These amounts are related to Patrick Henry Drive, One Bay Plaza and 12655 Jefferson, which were sold in 2016, and to 222 Kearny Street, which was determined to be held for sale as of
December 31, 2016
.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, the operating partnership and all wholly owned subsidiaries and variable interest entities (“VIEs”), of which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The consolidated financial statements of the operating partnership include the accounts of the operating partnership, and all wholly owned subsidiaries and VIEs of which the operating partnership is the primary beneficiary. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
During the first quarter of 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-02,
Consolidation (“Topic 810”): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis
, to amend the accounting guidance for consolidation. The standard simplifies the current guidance for consolidation and reduces the number of consolidation models through the elimination of the indefinite deferral of the previous guidance under ASC 810. Additionally, the standard places more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest. The Company consolidates all entities that the Company controls through either majority ownership or voting rights. In addition, the Company consolidates all VIEs of which the Company is considered the primary
F- 18
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Tables in thousands, except square footage and share data)
beneficiary. VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors (i) do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest and/or (ii) do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties. The entity that consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) 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 a result of the adoption, the Company concluded that two of the Company’s joint ventures and its operating partnership met the definition of a VIE. The Company is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs and continued to consolidate these entities. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are related to these VIEs.
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company entered into a joint venture to co-originate a loan secured by land in Santa Clara, California. This joint venture met the definition of a VIE, however the Company is not the primary beneficiary and is not consolidating the joint venture, but due to its significant influence over this entity, the Company accounts for it using the equity method of accounting.
During the third quarter of 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated third party related to the land on which its 11601 Wilshire property is located. The agreement does not meet the definition of a VIE and the Company is not consolidating the land interest. The Company accounts for the interest in the land using the equity method of accounting. On December 27, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the land underlying the ground lease portion on the 11601 Wilshire property. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2017, however there can be no guaranty that it will close as expected.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company entered into a joint venture to purchase Hill7 (refer to Note 3 for details). This joint venture met the definition of a VIE and the Company concluded that it is the primary beneficiary of this VIE and is consolidating this entity.
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, 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.
Investment in Real Estate Properties
Acquisitions
The Company’s acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method. The results of operations for each of these acquisitions are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition.
During the fourth quarter of 2016 the Company early adopted ASU 2017-01,
Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business
(“ASU 2017-01”), which changes the definition of a business. Acquisitions of integrated sets of assets and activities that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as an asset acquisition.
The Company evaluates each acquisition of real estate to determine if the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meet the definition of a business and need to be accounted for as a business combination. An integrated set of assets and activities would fail to qualify as a business if either (i) substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets or (ii) the integrated set of assets and activities is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e., revenue generated before and after the transaction). An acquired process is considered substantive if (i) the process includes an organized workforce (or includes an acquired contract that provides access to an organized workforce), that is skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced in performing the process (ii) the process cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay or (iii) the process is considered unique or scarce.
Acquisitions of real estate will generally not meet the revised definition of a business because substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (i.e. land, buildings and
F- 19
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Tables in thousands, except square footage and share data)
improvements and related intangible assets or liabilities) or because the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired workforce or an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay.
When the Company acquires properties that are considered business combinations, assets acquired and liabilities assumed are fair valued at the acquisition date. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed include, but are not limited to, land, building and improvements, intangible assets related to above-and below-market leases, intangible assets related to in-place leases, debt and other assumed assets and liabilities. The initial accounting for a business combination is based on management’s preliminary assessment, which may differ when final information becomes available. Subsequent adjustments made to the initial purchase price assignment are made within the measurement period, which typically does not exceed one year, within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Acquisition-related expenses associated with business combinations are expensed in the period incurred.
When the Company acquires properties that are considered asset acquisitions, the purchase price is allocated based on relative fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. There is no measurement period concept for asset acquisitions, with the purchase price accounting being final in the period of acquisition. Additionally, acquisition-related expenses associated with asset acquisitions are capitalized as part of the purchase price.
The Company assesses fair value based on Level 2 and Level 3 inputs within the fair value framework, which includes estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount, capitalization rates, renewal probability and available market information, which includes market rental rate and market rent growth rates. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions.
The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it was vacant. The fair value of acquired “above- and below-” market leases are based on the estimated cash flow projections utilizing discount rates that reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired. The amount recorded is based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the extended term for any leases with below-market renewal options. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes estimates of lost rents at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, which are dependent on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, the Company considers leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.
Cost Capitalization
The Company capitalizes direct construction and development costs, including redevelopment costs, interest, property taxes, insurance and other costs directly related and essential to the acquisition, development or construction of a real estate project. Indirect development costs, including salaries and benefits, office rent, and associated costs for those individuals directly responsible for and who spend their time on development activities are also capitalized and allocated to the projects to which they relate. Construction and development costs are capitalized while substantial activities are ongoing to prepare an asset for its intended use. The Company considers a construction project as substantially complete and held available for occupancy upon the completion of tenant improvements but no later than
one
year after cessation of major construction activity. Costs incurred after a project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, or after development activities have ceased, are expensed as they are incurred. Costs previously capitalized that related to abandoned acquisitions or developments are charged to earnings. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as they are incurred.
The Company recognized the following capitalized costs the

Operating Properties
The properties are generally carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. The Company computes depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as represented in the table below:
|
Asset Description
|

|
|
|

|
The Company amortizes above- and below-market lease intangibles to the rental line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining non-cancellable lease terms and bargain renewal periods, if applicable. The in-place lease intangibles are amortized to the depreciation and amortization line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining non-cancellable lease term. When tenants vacate prior to the expiration of lease, the amortization of intangible assets and liabilities are accelerated. The Company amortizes above- and below-market ground lease intangibles to the office operating expense and media and entertainment operating expense line items of the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the remaining non-cancellable lease terms.
Held for sale
The Company classifies properties as held for sale when certain criteria set forth in Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360,
Property, Plant, and Equipment
, are met. These criteria include (i) whether the Company is committed to a plan to sell, (ii) whether the asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale, (iii) whether an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated, (iv) whether the sale of the asset or disposal group is probable (i.e., likely to occur) and the transfer is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year, (v) whether the long-lived asset or disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value, (vi) whether actions necessary to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. At the time a property is classified as held for sale, the Company reclassifies its assets and liabilities to held for sale in the Consolidated Balance Sheets for the periods presented and ceases recognizing depreciation expense. Properties held-for-sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value, less estimated costs to sell.
According to ASC Topic 205
Presentation of Financial Statements
, the Company does not present the operating results in net loss from discontinued operations for disposals if they do not represent a strategic shift in the Company’s business. The Company reclassified City Plaza’s results of operations to net loss from discontinued operations on its Consolidated Statements of Operations and recorded
$0.2
million of loss from discontinued operations in 2014. There were no discontinued operations for the
years
ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the carrying value of real estate assets and related intangibles for impairment on a quarterly basis and 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 of the properties. No impairment indicators have been noted and the Company recorded no impairment charges during the years ended
December 31, 2016
,
2015
and 2014.

Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business acquisitions. The Company does not amortize this asset but instead analyzes it on a quarterly basis for impairment.
No
impairment indicators have been noted during the
years
ended
December 31, 2016
and
2015
, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents are defined as cash on hand and in banks, plus all short-term investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased.
The Company maintains some of its cash in bank deposit accounts that, at times, may exceed the federally insured limit. No losses have been experienced related to such accounts.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash primarily consists of amounts held by lenders to fund reserves such as capital improvements, taxes, insurance, debt service and operating expenditures.
Accounts Receivable, net
Accounts receivable consist of amounts due for monthly rents and other charges. The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from tenant defaults or the inability of tenants to make contractual rent and tenant recovery payments. The Company monitors the liquidity and creditworthiness of its tenants and operators on an ongoing basis. This evaluation considers industry and economic conditions, property performance, credit enhancements, length of time the receivables are past due, specific identification of uncollectible amounts, historical experience and other relevant factors. Historical experience has been within management’s expectations.

Notes Receivable, net
On August 19, 2014, the Company entered into a loan participation agreement for a loan with a maximum principal of
$140.0 million
. The Company’s share was
23.77%
, or
$33.3 million
. The notes receivable under this agreement was classified as a notes receivable on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The notes receivable is secured by a real estate property, bears interest at
11.0%
and was to mature on August 22, 2016. Interest is payable monthly with the principal due at maturity. The Company received a
$0.4 million
commitment fee as a result of this transaction. The balance as of December 31, 2015, net of the accretion of commitment fee, was
$28.7
million. The notes receivable under the loan participation agreement were fully repaid during the second quarter of 2016.
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) media and entertainment properties. The Company evaluates performance based upon net operating income of the combined properties in each segment. The media and entertainment segment is not material, and therefore separate income information by segment has not been presented. Asset information by segment is not reported because the Company does not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources.
Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes rental revenue from tenants on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. If the lease provides for tenant improvements, the Company determines whether the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, are owned by the tenant or the Company. When the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the physical use of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially completed. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvement allowance that is funded is treated as a lease incentive and amortized as a reduction of revenue over the lease term. Tenant improvement ownership is determined based on various factors including, but not limited to:
|
•
|
whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
|
|
•
|
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements at the end of the lease term;
|
|
•
|
whether the tenant improvements are unique to the tenant or general-purpose in nature; and
|
|
•
|
whether the tenant improvements are expected to have any residual value at the end of the lease.
|
Certain leases provide for additional rents contingent upon a percentage of the tenant’s revenue in excess of specified base amounts or other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized when actual results reported by the tenant, or estimates of tenant results, exceed the base amount or other thresholds. Such revenue is recognized only after the contingency has been removed (when the related thresholds are achieved), which may result in the recognition of rental revenue in periods subsequent to when such payments are received.
Other property-related revenue is revenue that is derived from the tenants’ use of lighting, equipment rental, parking, power, HVAC and telecommunications (telephone and Internet). Other property-related revenue is recognized when these items are provided.
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.
The Company recognizes gains on sales of properties upon the closing of the transaction with the purchaser. Gains on properties sold are recognized using the full accrual method when (i) the collectability of the sales price is reasonably assured, (ii) the Company is not obligated to perform significant activities after the sale, (iii) the initial investment from the buyer is sufficient and (iv) other profit recognition criteria have been satisfied. Gains on sales of properties may be deferred in whole or in part until the requirements for gain recognition have been met.

Deferred Financing Costs
Deferred financing costs are amortized over the term of the respective loans into interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Deferred financing costs, and related amortization, related to the unsecured revolving credit facility and undrawn term loans are presented within prepaid expenses and other assets, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All other deferred financing costs, and related amortization, are included in the notes payable, net line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Derivative Instruments
The Company manages interest rate risk associated with borrowings by entering into derivative instruments. The Company recognizes all derivative instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis at fair value. Derivative instruments that are not effective hedges are adjusted to fair value and the changes in fair value are reflected as income or expense. If the derivative instrument is an effective hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings, or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), which is a component of equity. The ineffective portion of a derivative instrument’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.
Stock-Based Compensation
Compensation cost of restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance units under the Company’s equity incentive award plans are accounted for under ASC Topic 718,
Compensation-Stock Compensation
(“ASC 718”). During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company early adopted ASU 2016-09,
Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
(“ASU 2016-09”), and elected to account for forfeitures of awards as they occur. If the Company had adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2016, the cumulative effect on additional paid-in capital and non-controlling interest in the operating partnership would have been
$0.7 million
.
Income Taxes
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 Street and Hill7 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.
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. The Company believes that it has operated in a manner that has allowed the Company to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with such taxable year, and the Company intends to continue operating in such manner. To qualify as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its net taxable income, excluding net capital gains, to the Company’s stockholders and to meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to such matters as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership.
Provided that 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. If Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and is unable to avail itself of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of its taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. would be ineligible to elect to be treated as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year for which the Company loses its qualification. It is not possible to state whether in all circumstances Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. would be entitled to this statutory relief.
The Company may acquire direct or indirect interests in one or more Subsidiary REITs. A Subsidiary REIT is subject to the various REIT qualification requirements and other limitations described herein that are applicable to the Company. If a subsidiary REIT were to fail to qualify as a REIT, then (i) that Subsidiary REIT would become subject to federal income tax, (ii) shares in such REIT would cease to be qualifying assets for purposes of the asset tests applicable to REITs and (iii) it is possible that the Company would fail certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs, in which event the Company would fail to qualify as a REIT unless the Company could avail itself of certain relief provisions.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Tables in thousands, except square footage and share data)
The Company believes that its operating partnership is properly treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Company’s operating partnership is not subject to federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of its partners, including the Company, is allocated, and may be required to pay tax with respect to, its share of the operating partnership’s income. As such, no provision for federal income taxes has been included for the operating partnership.
The Company has elected, together with
one
of the Company’s subsidiaries, to treat such subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes. Certain activities that the Company may undertake, such as non-customary services for the Company’s tenants and holding assets that the Company cannot hold directly, will be conducted by a TRS. A TRS is subject to federal and, where applicable, state income taxes on its net income. The Company’s TRS did not have significant tax provisions or deferred income tax items for 2016, 2015 or 2014.
The Company is subject to the statutory requirements of the states in which it conducts business.
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
December 31, 2016
, 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 2012. Generally, the Company has assessed its tax positions for all open years, which include 2012 to 2016, and concluded that there are no material uncertainties to be recognized.
Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities
Under GAAP, the Company is required to measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. In addition, the Company is required to measure other financial instruments and balances at fair value on a non-recurring basis (e.g., carrying value of impaired real estate and long-lived assets). Fair value is defined as the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. 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 requires inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
|
When available, the Company utilizes quoted market prices from an independent third-party source to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1 or Level 2. In instances where the market for a financial instrument is not active, regardless of the availability of a nonbinding quoted market price, observable inputs might not be relevant and could require the Company to make a significant adjustment to derive a fair value measurement. Additionally, in an inactive market, a market price quoted from an independent third party may rely more on models with inputs based on information available only to that independent third party. When the Company determines the market for a financial instrument owned by the Company to be illiquid or when market transactions for similar instruments do not appear orderly, the Company uses several valuation sources (including internal valuations, discounted cash flow analysis and quoted market prices) and establishes a fair value by assigning weights to the various valuation sources.
Changes in assumptions or estimation methodologies can have a material effect on these estimated fair values. In this regard, the derived fair value estimates cannot be substantiated by comparison to independent markets and, in many cases, may not be realized in an immediate settlement of the instrument.
The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of an inactive market: (i) there are few recent transactions, (ii) price quotations are not based on current information, (iii) price quotations vary substantially either over time
F- 25
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Tables in thousands, except square footage and share data)
or among market makers (for example, some brokered markets), (iv) indexes that previously were highly correlated with the fair values of the asset or liability are demonstrably uncorrelated with recent indications of fair value for that asset or liability, (v) there is a significant increase in implied liquidity risk premiums, yields, or performance indicators (such as delinquency rates or loss severities) for observed transactions or quoted prices when compared with the Company’s estimate of expected cash flows, considering all available market data about credit and other nonperformance risk for the asset or liability, (vi) there is a wide bid-ask spread or significant increase in the bid-ask spread, (vii) there is a significant decline or absence of a market for new issuances (that is, a primary market) for the asset or liability or similar assets or liabilities, and (viii) little information is released publicly (for example, a principal-to-principal market).
The Company considers the following factors to be indicators of non-orderly transactions: (i) there was not adequate exposure to the market for a period before the measurement date to allow for marketing activities that are usual and customary for transactions involving such assets or liabilities under current market conditions, (ii) there was a usual and customary marketing period, but the seller marketed the asset or liability to a single market participant, (iii) the seller is in or near bankruptcy or receivership (that is, distressed), or the seller was required to sell to meet regulatory or legal requirements (that is, forced), and (iv) the transaction price is an outlier when compared with other recent transactions for the same or similar assets or liabilities.
Investment in Unconsolidated Entities
Investment in unconsolidated real estate in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence (but not control) is accounted for under the equity method of investment. 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. The Company’s net equity investment is reflected within investment in unconsolidated entities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the Company’s share of net income or loss from the entity is included within other expense (income) on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
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 holds a 21% interest in the joint venture. The assets of the joint venture consist of notes receivable. The Company’s investment in this joint venture at December 31, 2016 was $29.4 million , which represents the maximum exposure for loss for the Company. The joint venture meets the criteria of a VIE and the Company accounts for this investment under the equity method of accounting since the Company is not the primary beneficiary.
On July 1, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement with an unaffiliated third party related to the land on which its 11601 Wilshire property is located. The Company holds a
28%
interest in the land. The agreement does not meet the definition of a VIE and the Company accounts for its interest in the land under the equity method of accounting. The Company’s interest in the land at December 31, 2016 was
$7.8 million
. On December 27, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase the remaining interest in the land. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2017, however there can be no guaranty that it will close as expected.

This guidance requires entities to include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. As a result, entities will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows.
|
Effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2017
|
The adoption of this new guidance will impact the presentation of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as well as require additional footnote disclosure to reconcile the totals in the revised cash flow statement presentation to the related captions in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

|
ASU 2016-17, Consolidation (Topic 810): Interests Held through Related Parties That Are under Common Control
|
This guidance outlines how a single decision-maker of a VIE should treat indirect interests held through other related parties that are under common control with the reporting entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE.
|
Effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2016
|
The adoption of this new guidance will not impact our conclusions related to consolidation of the Company’s VIE’s.

ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments
|
This guidance clarifies how entities should classify certain cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows. The guidance also clarifies how the predominance principle should be applied when cash receipts and cash payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows.

Effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2017

The Company does not currently anticipate an impact of this update on its Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses
|
This guidance sets forth a new impairment model for financial instruments, the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model, which is based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. Under the CECL model, an entity recognizes as an allowance its estimate of expected credit losses.
|
Effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2019

The Company does not currently anticipate a material impact of this update on its consolidated financial statements.

ASU related to Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
|
The new revenue standard was amended through various ASU’s. The ASU’s that impact the Company are ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net) and ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2016-08 clarifies certain aspects of the principal-versus-agent guidance in its new revenue recognition standard related to the determination of whether an entity is a principal-versus-agent and the determination of the nature of each specified good or service. ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers and specifically notes that lease contracts with customers are a scope exception.
|
Effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2017
|
The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material effect on revenue recognition as it relates to its leasing contracts until the adoption of ASU 2016-02, at which time the standard may effect revenue recognition as it relates to certain non-lease revenues that are part of its leasing contracts. The Company is currently evaluating this standard as part of its evaluation of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 (see below) as it relates to its other revenue from its media and entertainment properties where the Company generates substantially all of its revenue from leasing contracts that are scoped out of this standard.
The Company has the option of adopting this standard on either the full retrospective basis (to the beginning of its contracts) or modified retrospective method (from the beginning of the latest fiscal year of adoption). The Company plans on adopting the standard January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method.

ASU 2016-02, Leases
|
This guidance requires all lessees to record a lease liability at lease inception, with a corresponding right of use asset, except for short-term leases. Lessor accounting will not be fundamentally changed.
|
Effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2018
|
The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the amount of assets and liabilities relating to right of use that will need to be record with respect to its leases where it is the lessee.
Additionally, the standard will impact the way the Company will record revenue and leasing costs where it is the lessor. For leasing costs, the Company will no longer be able to capitalize internal leasing costs to the extent they are not directly attributable to the lease transaction. Accordingly, payroll and payroll-related costs that the Company currently capitalizes in connection with leasing its space will be required to be expensed.
With respect to the lease revenue, the Company will need to break down its current revenue streams between leasing and non-leasing components. To the extent there are non-leasing components the Company will need to record them in accordance with ASC 606 (see above). The Company is still in the process of evaluating its existing leasing components to determine what effect, if any, this standard will have on its revenue recognition as it relates to its leases. The Company will adopt the standard using the retrospective method to the beginning of the first year presented on the consolidated statement of operations which is January 1, 2017.

ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.
|
This guidance provides a new measurement alternative for equity investments that do not have readily determinable fair values and do not qualify for the net asset value practical expedient. Under this alternative, these investments can be measured at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same issuer.

Effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2017

Previously owned by an affiliate of Blackstone, the property has served as the Company’s corporate headquarters since its IPO. The Company funded this acquisition with proceeds from the unsecured revolving credit facility.
|
|
(3)
|
The Company purchased the property through a joint venture with the Canadian Pension Plan Investment Board. The Company owns
55%
of the ownership interest in the consolidated joint venture. In conjunction with the acquisition, the joint venture closed a secured non-recourse loan in the amount of
$101.0 million
. Refer to Note 5 for details.
|

|
The Company funded this acquisition with proceeds from the unsecured revolving credit facility.
|
|

|
The EOP Acquisition consisted of
26
office assets and
two
development parcels located throughout the San Francisco Peninsula, Redwood Shores, Palo Alto, Silicon Valley and North San Jose submarkets.
|
The Company evaluated the Hill7 and Page Mill Hill acquisitions under the new framework for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities meet the definition of a business (pursuant to ASU 2017-01). Substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets (e.g., operating property). Accordingly, Hill7 and Page Mill Hill did not meet the definition of a business and were accounted for as asset acquisitions.
In previous reporting periods, the purchase price accounting for 11601 Wilshire was preliminary because the Company was in the process of evaluating the terms of certain contracts related to the Company’s interest in the land, which affected the identification and valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The fair value of the Company’s interest in the land has reflected below in the final purchase price accounting. If the measurement-period adjustment was made as of the acquisition date, the Company would have recognized an additional
$33 thousand
of depreciation and amortization expense in the third quarter of 2016. The following table represents the final aggregate purchase price accounting for each of the Company’s acquisitions completed in 2016:

$175.0 million
5
-Year Term Loan due November 2020 and
$125.0 million
7
-Year Term Loan due November 2022, both of which were entered into on November 17, 2015. Amounts drawn were used to fully pay down

$110.0 million
of the Sunset Gower Studios/Sunset Bronson Studios mortgage loans and
$100.0 million
of the

On June 7, 2016, Pinnacle II Hudson MC Partners, the Company’s consolidated joint venture, entered into an
$87.0 million
ten
-year mortgage loan secured by its Pinnacle II office property. This new loan has a maturity date of June 11, 2026 and bears a fixed rate of
4.30%
per annum with interest only payable every month during the term of the loan and principal payment at maturity. Proceeds were used to fully pay down the previous loan secured by the Company’s Pinnacle II office property that was scheduled to mature on September 6, 2016.
On July 6, 2016, the Company entered into a private placement of debt for
$150.0 million
of
3.98%
guaranteed senior notes due July 6, 2026. The
$150.0 million
was drawn on July 6, 2016. Proceeds were used to pay down the unsecured revolving credit facility. The Company also secured an additional
$50.0 million
of funds from a private placement of
3.66%
guaranteed senior notes due September 15, 2023, which was drawn on September 15, 2016. Proceeds were used to repay amounts outstanding under its unsecured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.
On October 7, 2016, the Company acquired Hill7 property through a consolidated joint venture. In conjunction with the acquisition, the joint venture closed a
$101.0 million
mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of
3.38%
per annum. This loan bears interest only payable every month during the term of the loan and principal payment at maturity.
Indebtedness
The Company presents its financial statements on a consolidated basis. Notwithstanding such presentation, except to the extent expressly indicated, such as in the case of the project financing for Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios, the Company’s separate property-owning subsidiaries are not obligors of or under the debt of their respective affiliates and each property-owning subsidiary’s separate liabilities do not constitute obligations of its respective affiliates.
Loan agreements include events of default that the Company believes are usual for loan and transactions of this type. As of the date of this filing, there have been no events of default associated with the Company’s loans.
Certain loan agreements require that some or all receipts collected from properties are deposited in lockbox accounts under the control of the lenders to fund reserves such as capital improvements, taxes, insurance, debt service and operating expenditures. Included in restricted cash on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets at
December 31, 2016
and
December 31, 2015
are lockbox and reserve funds as follows:

Senior Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Agreement
Term Loan Agreement
On November 17, 2015, the operating partnership entered into a term loan credit agreement with a group of lenders for an unsecured
$175.0
million
five
-year delayed draw term loan with a maturity date of November 2020 (“
5
-Year Term Loan due November 2020”) and an unsecured
$125.0
million
seven
-year delayed draw term loan with a maturity date of November 2022 (“
7
-Year Term Loan due November 2022”). These term loans were fully drawn on May 3, 2016.
Interest on the term loan agreement is generally to be paid based upon, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR margin or (ii) a specified base rate plus the applicable base rate margin, dependent on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio. The applicable LIBOR margin will range from
1.30%
to
2.20%
for the
5
-Year Term Loan due November 2020, depending on our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the term loan agreement) and
1.60%
to
2.55%
for the
7
-Year Term Loan due November 2022, depending on our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the term loan agreement). Beginning on February 13, 2016, each term loan is subject to an unused commitment fee of
.20%
.
The operating partnership has the right to terminate or reduce unused commitments under either term loan in the term loan agreement without penalty or premium. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the operating partnership has the right to increase the availability of either or both of the term loans so long as the aggregate commitments under both term loans do not exceed
$475.0
million.
If the Company obtains a credit rating for the Company’s senior unsecured long-term indebtedness, the operating partnership may make an irrevocable election to change the interest rate. During 2016, our senior unsecured long-term indebtedness was assigned an investment grade rating. The Company has not made the credit rating election.
A&R Credit Agreement
The operating partnership maintains and periodically amends its A&R Credit Agreement with a group of lenders. On April 1, 2015, the agreement governing the credit facility was amended and restated to, among other things, (i) extend the maturity date of the A&R Credit Agreement
with a
one
-year extension option, (ii) increase available revolving credit from
$300.0
million to
$400.0
million, (iii) increase the
five
-year term loan facility from
$150.0
million to
$550.0
million and extended the maturity date to April 2020 (“
5
-Year Term Loan due April 2020”) and (iv) add a
$350.0
million
seven
-year term loan with a maturity date of April 2022 (“
7
-Year Term Loan due April 2022”). On November 17, 2015, the operating partnership amended and restated the Credit Facility (“Amended and Restated Credit Facility”) to align certain terms therein with the less restrictive terms of the term loan agreement. The
5
-Year Term Loan due April 2020 and the
7
-Year Term Loan due April 2022 were used towards the EOP Acquisition. The A&R Credit Agreement is available for other purposes, including for payment of redevelopment and development costs incurred in connection with properties owned by the operating partnership or any subsidiary, to finance capital expenditures and the repayment of indebtedness of the Company, the operating partnership and its subsidiaries, to provide for general working capital needs of the Company, the operating partnership and its subsidiaries and for the general corporate purposes of the Company, the operating partnership and its subsidiaries, and to pay fees and expenses incurred in connection with the Amended and Restated Credit Facility.

Interest on the Amended Credit Facility is generally to be paid based upon, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus the applicable LIBOR margin or (ii) a specified base rate plus the applicable base rate margin, dependent on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio. The applicable LIBOR margin will range from
1.15%
to
1.85%
(previously
1.15%
to
1.55%
) for the A&R Credit Agreement,
1.30%
to
2.20%
(previously
1.30%
to
1.90%
) for the
5
-Year Term Loan due April 2020, depending on our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility) and
1.60%
to
2.55%
for the
7
-Year Term Loan due April 2022, depending on our Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Amended and Restated Credit Facility). The Amended Facility requires a facility fee in an amount equal to
0.20%
or
0.35%
of the operating partnership’s revolving credit commitments depending on the operating partnership’s leverage ratio. Unused amounts under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility are not subject to a separate fee.
Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and lender commitments, the operating partnership may increase the availability of the Amended and Restated Credit Facility so long as the aggregate commitments under the Amended and Restated Credit Facility do not exceed
$2.0
billion.
If the Company obtains a credit rating for the Company’s senior unsecured long-term indebtedness, the operating partnership may make an irrevocable election to change the interest rate and facility fee. During 2016, our senior unsecured long-term indebtedness was assigned an investment grade rating. The Company has not made the credit rating election.
The operating partnership continues to be the borrower under the New Credit Agreement and the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, and the Company and all subsidiaries that own unencumbered properties will continue to provide guaranties unless the Company obtains and maintains a credit rating of at least BBB- from S&P or Baa3 from Moody’s, in which case such guaranties are not required except under limited circumstances.
Guaranteed Senior Notes
On November 16, 2015, the operating partnership entered into a note purchase agreement with various purchasers, which provides for the private placement of
$425.0 million
of guaranteed senior notes by the operating partnership, of which (i)
$110.0
million are designated as
4.34%
Series A guaranteed senior notes due January 2, 2023 (the “Series A Notes”), (ii)
$259.0
million are designated as
4.69%
Series B guaranteed senior notes due December 16, 2025 (the “Series B Notes”) and (iii)
$56.0
million are designated as
4.79%
Series C guaranteed senior notes due December 16, 2027 (the “Series C Notes”). These notes were issued on December 16, 2015 and upon issuance, the notes pay interest semi-annually on the 16th day of June and December in each year until their respective maturities. Additional guaranteed senior notes were issued in 2016; for further detail, refer to the current activity section above.
The operating partnership may prepay at any time all or, from time to time, any part of the guaranteed senior notes in an amount not less than
5%
of the aggregate principal amount of any series of guaranteed senior notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at
100%
of the principal amount so prepaid plus a make-whole premium.
The operating partnership’s obligations under guaranteed senior notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. Subsidiaries of the Company will also issue unconditional guarantees upon the occurrence of certain conditions, including such subsidiaries providing guarantees under the New Credit Agreement and Amended and Restated Credit Facility, by and among the operating partnership, the financial institutions party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association as administrative agent.
Debt Covenants
The operating partnership’s ability to borrow under the term loan agreement, the Amended and Restated Credit Facility, and guaranteed senior notes remains subject to ongoing compliance with financial and other covenants as defined in the respective agreements, including, when considering the most restrictive terms, maintaining a leverage ratio (maximum of
0.60
:
1.00
), unencumbered leverage ratio (maximum of
0.60
:
1.00
), fixed charge coverage ratio (minimum of
1.50
:
1.00
), secured indebtedness leverage ratio (maximum of
0.45
:
1.00
), and unsecured interest coverage ratio (minimum
2.00
:
1.00
). Certain financial covenant ratios are subject to change in the occurrence of material acquisitions as defined in the respective agreements. Other covenants include certain limitations on dividend payouts and distributions, limits on certain types of investments outside of the operating partnership’s primary business, and other customary affirmative and negative covenants.
The operating partnership was in compliance with its financial covenants at
December 31, 2016

Repayment Guaranties
Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios Loan
In connection with the loan secured by the Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios properties, the Company has guaranteed in favor of and promised to pay to the lender
19.5%
of the principal payable under the loan in the event the borrower, a wholly-owned entity of the operating partnership, does not do so. At
December 31, 2016
, the outstanding balance was
$5.0 million
, which results in a maximum guarantee amount for the principal under this loan of
$1.0 million
. Furthermore, the Company agreed to guarantee the completion of the construction improvements, including tenant improvements, as defined in the agreement, in the event of any default of the borrower. If the borrower fails to complete the remaining required work, the guarantor agrees to perform timely all of the completion obligations, as defined in the agreement. As of the date of this filing, there has been no event of default associated with this loan.
Other Loans
Although the rest of the operating partnership’s loans are secured and non-recourse, the operating partnership provides limited customary secured debt guarantees for items such as voluntary bankruptcy, fraud, misapplication of payments and environmental liabilities.
6. Derivative Instruments
The Company enters into derivative instruments in order to hedge interest rate risk. As of
December 31, 2016
, the Company had
six
interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of
$839.5 million
. As of
December 31, 2015
, the Company had
two
interest rate caps and
five
interest rate swaps with aggregate notional amounts of
$92.0 million
and
$714.5 million
, respectively. These derivatives instruments were designated as effective cash flow hedges for accounting purposes.
The Company’s derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 and their fair values are derived from estimated values obtained from observable market data for similar instruments.
5
-Year Term Loan due April 2020 and
7
-Year Term Loan due April 2022
On April 1, 2015, the Company effectively hedged
$300.0 million
of the
5
-Year Term Loan due April 2020 through
two
interest rate swaps, each with a notional amount of
$150.0 million
, which, effective as of May 1, 2015, swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of
1.36%
through the loan’s maturity. Therefore the interest rate is effectively fixed at
2.66%
to
3.56%
. The unhedged portion bears interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR plus
1.30%
to
2.20%
, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio. The Company also effectively hedged its
$350.0 million
7
-Year Term Loan due April 2022 through
two
interest rate swaps, which, effective as of May 1, 2015, swapped one-month LIBOR to a fixed rate of
1.61%
through the loan’s maturity. Therefore the interest rate is effectively fixed at
3.21%
to
4.16%
.
In July 2016, the derivative instruments as described above were amended to include a
0.00%
floor to one-month LIBOR, and then de-designated the original swap and designated the amended swap as a hedge in order to minimize the ineffective portion of the original derivative instruments. Therefore, the effective interest rate increased to a range of
2.75%
to
3.65%
with respect to
$300.0 million
of the
5
-Year Term Loan due April 2020 and
3.36%
to
4.31%
with respect to the
7
-Year Term Loan due April 2022, per annum based on the Company’s operating partnership’s leverage ratio. The amount included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) prior to the de-designation is amortized into interest expense over the remaining original respective terms of the derivative instruments.
During the year ended
December 31, 2016
, the Company recognized an unrealized loss of
$1.4 million
on the Consolidated Statement of Operations related to the ineffective portion of these derivative instruments. This amount is also presented on the unrealized loss on ineffective portion of derivative instruments line item on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow. There was
no
recognized unrealized loss or gain during the years ended
December 31, 2015
and 2014.
7
-Year Term Loan due November 2022
On May 3, 2016, the Company entered into a derivative instrument with respect to
$125.0
million of the
7
-Year Term Loan due November 2022. This derivative instrument became effective on June 1, 2016 and swapped one-month LIBOR, which includes a
0.00%
floor, to a fixed rate of
1.43%
through the loan’s maturity.

2015
were
$5.9 million
and
$2.1 million
, respectively. The derivative liabilities as of
December 31, 2016

9. Stock-Based Compensation
The Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. 2010 Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2010 Plan”), permits us to grant, among other things, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance-based awards. Each restricted share, restricted stock unit and common share issued reduces the share reserve by
2.95
shares. As of December 31, 2016,
1,930,668
common shares were available for grant under the 2010 Plan. The calculation of shares available for grant is determined after taking into account unvested restricted stock, unvested RSUs, awards under our one-time retention performance-based awards, and awards under our outstanding outperformance programs, assuming the maximum bonus pool eligible ultimately is earned and based on a stock price of
$34.78
.
The board of directors of Hudson Pacific Properties Inc. (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 our Board compensation program. The time-based awards are generally issued in the second

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Tables in thousands, except square footage and share data)
quarter, 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 to employees on an annual basis as part of the employees’ annual compensation. The time-based awards are generally issued in the fourth quarter, and the individual share awards vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which is generally
three years
. Additionally, certain restricted share awards are subject to holding restrictions upon vesting if the employee is a named executive officer.
The Compensation Committee of our Board annually adopts a Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Outperformance Program (“OPP Plan”) under our 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
25%
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, awards are settled in performance units in our operating partnership.
In December 2015, the Compensation Committee of our Board 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
four
years, 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.
Time-Based Awards
The stock-based compensation is valued based on the quoted closing price of the Company’s common stock on the applicable grant date and discounted for the hold restriction in accordance with ASC 718. The stock-based compensation is amortized through the final vesting period on a straight-line basis. Forfeitures of awards are recognized as they occur.

An award under the OPP Plan is ultimately earned to the extent the Company outperforms a predetermined total shareholder return (“TSR”) goal and/or achieves goals with respect to the outperformance of its peers in a particular REIT index. The ultimate aggregate award cannot exceed the predetermined maximum bonus pool. The following table outlines key components of the 2016 and 2015 OPP Plans:

The stock-based compensation costs of the OPP Plans were valued in accordance with ASC 718, utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation to estimate the probability of the performance vesting conditions being satisfied. The stock-based compensation is amortized through the final vesting period under a graded vesting expense recognition schedule. Forfeitures of awards are recognized as they occur. The per unit fair value of OPP award granted was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions in the Monte Carlo valuation:

10. Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing the net income (loss) 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 (loss) 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. Unvested time-based RSUs and unvested OPP awards 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. The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator in computing the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share for net income (loss) available to common stockholders:

Non-controlling Interests
Common units in the operating partnership
Common units and shares of our common stock 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 our election, issue shares of our common stock in exchange for common units on a one-for-one basis. The following table summarizes the activity related to common units from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2016:

Performance units are partnership interests in the operating partnership. Each performance unit awarded will be deemed equivalent to an award of one unit 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. Subject to any agreed upon exceptions, once vested and having achieved parity with common unitholders, performance units are convertible into common units in the operating partnership on a
one
-for-one basis.
The operating partnership meets the criteria of a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary of the operating partnership.

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, and compensation expense and in the basis of depreciable assets and estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation.
The Company’s dividends related to its common stock (CUSIP #444097109) will be classified for United States federal income tax purposes as follows (unaudited):

On July 26, 2006, the Company’s predecessor, Hudson Capital, LLC, entered into a lease agreement and subsequent amendments with landlord Trizec Holdings Cal, LLC (an affiliate of Blackstone) for the Company’s corporate headquarters at 11601 Wilshire Boulevard. The Company amended the lease to increase its occupancy to
40,120
square feet of the property’s space as a tenant commencing on September 1, 2015. On December 16, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment of that lease to expand the space to approximately
42,371
square feet of the property’s space and to extend the term by an additional
three
years, to a total of
ten
years, through August 31, 2025. On July 1, 2016, the Company purchased the 11601 Wilshire property from funds managed by Blackstone for

222 Kearny Street Disposition
On December 30, 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 222 Kearny Street property to a joint venture, a partner of which are affiliates of the Farallon Funds. Richard B. Fried, an independent director on our Board, is a managing member of the Farallon Funds. 222 Kearny Street was subsequently sold on February 14, 2017.
Agreement Related to EOP Acquisition
On April 1, 2015, the Company completed the EOP Acquisition from certain affiliates of Blackstone, which consisted of
26
high-quality office assets totaling approximately
8.2
million square feet and
two
development parcels located throughout the San Francisco Peninsula, Redwood Shores, Palo Alto, Silicon Valley and North San Jose submarkets. The total consideration paid for the EOP Acquisition before certain credits, prorations and closing costs included a cash payment of
$1.75
billion and an aggregate of
63,474,791
shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and common units in the operating partnership. Following a common stock offering and common unit repurchase on January 10, 2017, Blackstone no longer holds an ownership interest in the Company or the operating partnership and the Stockholders Agreement between the Company, the operating partnership and Blackstone automatically terminated.
The Stockholders Agreement
On April 1, 2015, in connection with the closing of the EOP Acquisition as described above, the Company entered into the Stockholders Agreement (the “Stockholders Agreement”) by and among the Company, the operating partnership, Blackstone Real Estate Advisors L.P. (“BREA”) and Blackstone. The Stockholders Agreement sets forth various arrangements and restrictions with respect to the governance of the Company and certain rights of Blackstone with respect to the shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and common units of the operating partnership received by Blackstone in connection with the EOP Acquisition (the “Equity Consideration”).
Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, in April 2015 the Board was expanded from
eight
to
eleven
directors, and
three
director nominees designated by Blackstone to the Board were elected. On January 13, 2016,
one
of Blackstone’s nominees resigned from the Board, and Blackstone indicated that it would not designate an individual to replace him. Subsequently, the Board voted to decrease its size to
ten
directors. Subject to certain exceptions, the Board will continue to include Blackstone’ designees in its slate of nominees, and will continue to recommend such nominees, and will otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to solicit the vote of the stockholders of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. to elect to the Board the slate of nominees which includes those designated by Blackstone. Blackstone will have the right to designate
three
nominees for so long as it continues to beneficially own, in the aggregate, greater than
50%
of the Equity Consideration. If Blackstone’ beneficial ownership of the Equity Consideration decreases, then the number of director nominees that Blackstone will have the right to designate will be reduced (i) to
two
, if Blackstone beneficially owns greater than or equal to
30%
but less than or equal to
50%
of the Equity Consideration and (ii) to
one
, if Blackstone beneficially owns greater than or equal to
15%
but less than
30%
of the Equity Consideration. The Board nomination rights of Blackstone will terminate at such time as Blackstone beneficially owns less than
15%
of the Equity Consideration or upon written notice of waiver or termination of such rights by Blackstone. So long as Blackstone retains the right to designate at least
one
nominee to the Board, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. will not be permitted to increase the total number of directors comprising the Board to more than
12
persons without the prior written consent of Blackstone.
For so long as Blackstone has the right to designate at least
two
director nominees, subject to the satisfaction of applicable NYSE independence requirements, Blackstone will also be entitled to appoint
one
such nominee then serving on the Board to serve on each committee of the Board (other than certain specified committees).
The Stockholders Agreement also includes standstill provisions, which require that, until such time as Blackstone beneficially owns shares of common stock representing less than
10%
of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of common stock on a fully-diluted basis, Blackstone and BREA are restricted from, among other things, acquiring additional equity or debt securities (other than non-recourse debt and certain other debt) of the Company without the Company’s prior written consent.
In addition, pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement, until April 1, 2017, the Company is required to obtain the prior written consent of Blackstone prior to the issuance of common equity securities by it or any of its subsidiaries other than up to an aggregate of
16,843,028
shares of common stock (and certain other exceptions).
Further, until such time as Blackstone beneficially owns, in the aggregate, less than
15%
of the Equity Consideration, Blackstone will cause all common stock held by it to be voted by proxy (i) in favor of all persons nominated to serve as directors
F- 51
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Tables in thousands, except square footage and share data)
by the Board (or the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee thereof) in any slate of nominees which includes Blackstone’ nominees and (ii) otherwise in accordance with the recommendation of the Board (to the extent the recommendation is not inconsistent with the rights of Blackstone under the Stockholders Agreement) with respect to any other action, proposal or other matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., other than in connection with (A) any proposed transaction relating to a change of control of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., (B) any amendments to the charter or bylaws of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., (C) any other transaction that Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. submits to a vote of its stockholders pursuant to Section 312.03 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual or (D) any other transaction that Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. submits to a vote of its stockholders for approval.
As required by the Stockholders Agreement, the Company has agreed that Blackstone and certain of its affiliates may engage in investments, strategic relationships or other business relationships with entities engaged in other business, including those that compete with the Company, and will have no obligation to present any particular investment or business opportunity to the Company, even if the opportunity is of a character that, if presented to the Company, could be undertaken by the Company. As required by the Stockholders Agreement, to the maximum extent permitted under Maryland law, the Company has renounced any interest or expectancy in, or in being offered an opportunity to participate in, any such investment, opportunity or activity presented to or developed by Blackstone, its nominees for election as directors and certain of its affiliates, other than any opportunity expressly offered to a director nominated at the direction of Blackstone in his or her capacity as a director of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.
Further, without the prior written consent of Blackstone, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. may not amend certain provisions of its bylaws relating to the ability of its directors and officers to engage in other business or to adopt qualification for directors other than those in effect as of the date of the Stockholders Agreement or as are generally applicable to all directors, respectively.
The Stockholders Agreement also includes certain provisions that, together, are intended to enhance the liquidity of common units to be held by Blackstone.
Redemption Rights of Blackstone
Under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the Company (in its capacity as the general partner of the operating partnership) has waived the
14
-month holding period set forth in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement before Blackstone may require the operating partnership to repurchase the common units and grants certain additional rights to Blackstone in connection with such redemptions. Among other things, the Company generally must give Blackstone notice before 9:30 a.m. Eastern time on the business day after the business day on which Blackstone gives the Company notice of redemption of any common units of the Company’s election, in its sole and absolute discretion, to either (a) cause the operating partnership to redeem all of the tendered common units in exchange for a cash amount per common units equal to the value of
one
share of common stock on the date that Blackstone provided its notice of redemption, calculated in accordance with and subject to adjustment as provided in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement, or (b) subject to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company’s stock set forth in its charter, acquire all of the tendered common units from Blackstone in exchange for shares of common stock, based on an exchange ratio of
one
share of common stock for each common unit, subject to adjustment as provided in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement. If the Company fails to timely provide such notice, the Company will be deemed to have elected to cause the operating partnership to redeem all such tendered common units in exchange for shares of common stock. Blackstone redeemed
46,250,000
common units in the operating partnership in exchange for cash in 2016.
The Company may also elect to cause the operating partnership to redeem all common units tendered by Blackstone with the proceeds of a public or private offering of common stock under certain circumstances as discussed more fully below.

Restrictions on Transfer of Common Units by Blackstone
Under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the Company (in its capacity as the general partner of the operating partnership) has waived the
14
-month holding period set forth in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement before Blackstone may transfer any common units, and has agreed to admit any permitted transferee of Blackstone as a substituted limited partner of the operating partnership upon the satisfaction of certain conditions described in the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement. Nevertheless, the Covered Securities are subject to the transfer restrictions described above.
Ownership Limit Waiver
In connection with the issuance of the Equity Consideration, the Board granted to Blackstone and certain of its affiliates a limited exception to the restrictions on ownership and transfer of common stock set forth in the charter of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the “Charter”) that allows Blackstone and certain of its affiliates to own, directly or indirectly, in the aggregate, up to
17,707,056
shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the “Excepted Holder Limit”). This exception is conditioned upon the continued accuracy of various representations and covenants set forth in Blackstone’s waiver request delivered on April 1, 2015, confirming, among other things, that neither Blackstone nor certain of its affiliates may own, directly or indirectly, (i) more than
9.9%
of the interests in a tenant of the Company (other than a tenant of the 1455 Market Street office property) or (ii) more than
5.45%
of the interests in a tenant of the 1455 Market Street office property, in each case subject to certain exceptions that may reduce such ownership percentage, but not below
2%
and representations intended to confirm that Blackstone’s and certain of its affiliates’ ownership of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. will not cause Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. to otherwise fail to qualify as a REIT.
The exception for Blackstone and certain of its affiliates will apply until (i) Blackstone or any such affiliate violates any of the representations or covenants in Blackstone’s waiver request or (ii) (a) Blackstone or any such affiliate owns, directly or indirectly, more than the applicable ownership percentage (as described above) of the interests in any tenant(s) and (b) the maximum rental income expected to be produced by such tenant(s) exceeds (x)
0.5%
of the Company’s gross income (in the case of tenants other than tenants of the 1455 Market Street office property) or (y)
0.5%
of the 1455 Market Street Joint Venture’s gross income (in the case of tenants of the 1455 Market Street office property) for any taxable year (the “Rent Threshold”), at which time the number of shares of common stock that Blackstone and certain of its affiliates may directly or indirectly own will be reduced to the number of shares of common stock which would result in the amount of rent from such tenant(s) (that would be treated as related party rents under certain tax rules) representing no more than the Rent Threshold.
The Registration Rights Agreement
On April 1, 2015, in connection with the closing of the EOP Acquisition, the Company entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, dated April 1, 2015 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”), by and among the Company and Blackstone. The Registration Rights Agreement provides for customary registration rights with respect to the Equity Consideration, including the following:
|
•
|
Shelf Registration
. On October 27, 2015, the Company filed a prospectus covering Blackstone’s shares of common stock received as part of the Equity Consideration as well as shares issuable upon redemption of common units received as part of the Equity Consideration, which was replaced by a subsequent prospectus filed by the Company on July 21, 2016. The Company is required to use its reasonable best efforts to keep such resale shelf registration statement effective for as long as Blackstone continues to hold such shares of common stock.
|
|
•
|
Demand Registrations
. Beginning November 1, 2015 (or earlier if transfer restrictions under the Stockholders Agreement are terminated earlier), Blackstone may cause the Company to register their shares if the foregoing resale shelf registration statement is not effective or if the Company is not eligible to file a shelf registration statement.
|
|
•
|
Qualified Offerings
. Any registered offerings requested by Blackstone that are to an underwriter on a firm commitment basis for reoffering and resale to the public, in an offering that is a “bought deal” with one or more investment banks or in a block trade with a broker-dealer will be (subject to certain specified exceptions): (i) no more frequent than once in any
120
-day period, (ii) subject to underwriter lock-ups from prior offerings then in effect, and (iii) subject to a minimum offering size of
$50.0 million
.

|
•
|
Piggy-Back Rights.
Beginning November 1, 2015 (or earlier if transfer restrictions under the Stockholders Agreement are terminated earlier), Blackstone is permitted to, among other things, participate in offerings for the Company’s account or the account of any other security holder of the Company (other than in certain specified cases). If underwriters advise that the success of a proposed offering would be significantly and adversely affected by the inclusion of all securities in an offering initiated by the Company for the Company’s own account, then the securities proposed to be included by Blackstone together with other stockholders exercising similar piggy-back rights are cut back first.
|
Limited Partnership Agreement
On April 1, 2015, in connection with the closing of the EOP Acquisition, the Company, as the general partner of the operating partnership, entered into the Third Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the operating partnership dated April 1, 2015 along with Blackstone and the other limited partners of the operating partnership. The principal changes to the Second Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of the operating partnership, as amended and as in effect immediately prior to the closing of the EOP Acquisition, made by the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement were to add the provisions described below. The Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement was subsequently amended and restated on December 17, 2015 by the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the operating partnership.
The Stockholders Agreement prohibits the Company, without the prior written consent of Blackstone, from amending certain provisions of the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement in a manner adverse in any respect to Blackstone (in its capacity as limited partners of the operating partnership), or to add any new provision to the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement that would have a substantially identical effect or from taking any action that is intended to or otherwise would have a substantially identical effect.
Restrictions on Mergers, Sales, Transfers and Other Significant Transactions of the Company
Prior to the date on which Blackstone and any of its affiliates own less than
9.8%
of the Equity Consideration, the Company may not consummate any of (a) a merger, consolidation or other combination of the Company’s or the operating partnership’s assets with another person, (b) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the operating partnership, (c) sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets not in the ordinary course of the operating partnership’s business or (d) a reclassification, recapitalization or change in the Company’s outstanding equity securities (other than in connection with a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, change in par value, increase in authorized shares, designation or issuance of new classes of equity securities or any event that does not require the approval of the Company’s stockholders), in each case, which is submitted to the holders of the common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. for approval, unless such transaction is also approved by the partners of the operating partnership holding common units on a “pass through” basis, which, in effect, affords the limited partners of the operating partnership that hold common units the right to vote on such transaction as though such limited partners held the number of shares of common stock into which their common units were then exchangeable and voted together with the holders of the outstanding common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. with respect to such transaction.
Stock Offering Funding of Redemption
If Blackstone or any of its affiliates who become limited partners of the operating partnership (“Specified Limited Partners”) delivers a notice of redemption with respect to common units that, if exchanged for common stock, would result in a violation of the Excepted Holder Limit (as defined below) or otherwise violate the restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company’s stock set forth in its charter and that have an aggregate value in excess of
$50.0 million
as calculated pursuant to the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement, then, if the Company is then eligible to register the offering of its securities on Form S-3 (or any successor form similar thereto), the Company may elect to cause the operating partnership to redeem such common units with the net proceeds from a public or private offering of the number of shares of common stock that would be deliverable in exchange for such common units but for the application of the Excepted Holder Limit and other restrictions on ownership and transfer of the Company’s stock. If the Company elects to fund the redemption of any common units with such an offering, it will allow all Specified Limited Partners the opportunity to include additional common units held by such Specified Limited Partners in such redemption.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal
From time to time, the Company is party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings arising out of, or incident to, the ordinary course of business. 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
December 31, 2016
, the risk of material loss from such legal actions impacting the Company’s financial condition or results from operations has been assessed as remote.
Concentrations
As of
December 31, 2016
, the majority of the Company’s properties were located in California, which exposes the Company to greater economic risks than if it owned a more geographically dispersed portfolio.
A significant portion of the Company’s rental revenue is derived from tenants in the media and entertainment and technology industries. As of
December 31, 2016
approximately
14.0%
and
27.9%
of rentable square feet were related to the media and entertainment and technology industries, respectively.
As of
December 31, 2016
, the Company’s
15
largest tenants represented approximately
22.4%
of its rentable square feet and no single tenant accounted for more than
10%
.
Letters of Credit
As of
December 31, 2016
, 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.
