- Organization and Ownership
Kilroy Realty Corporation (the “Company”) is a self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”) active in premier office, life science and mixed-use property types in the United States. The Company has earned global recognition for sustainability, building operations, innovation and design. The Company’s approach to modern business environments helps drive creativity and productivity for some of the world’s leading technology, entertainment, life science and business services companies. We own, develop, acquire and manage real estate assets, consisting primarily of Class A properties in Los Angeles, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle and Austin, which we believe have strategic advantages and strong barriers to entry. Class A real estate encompasses attractive and efficient buildings of high quality that are attractive to tenants, are well-designed and constructed with above-average material, workmanship and finishes and are well-maintained and managed. We qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company’s common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “KRC.”
We own our interests in all of our real estate assets through Kilroy Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). We generally conduct substantially all of our operations through the Operating Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context indicates otherwise, the terms “Kilroy Realty Corporation” or the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to Kilroy Realty Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries and the term “Operating Partnership” refers to Kilroy Realty, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The descriptions of our business, employees, and properties apply to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.

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

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we addedtwo development projects to our stabilized portfolio consisting oftwo buildings totaling 829,591 square feet of office space in San Diego, California and Austin, Texas. We did not have any properties held for sale at December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the following properties were excluded from our stabilized portfolio:
| Number of Properties/Projects | Estimated Rentable Square Feet (1)(unaudited) | |
|---|---|---|
| In-process development projects - under construction | 1 | 875,000 |
| In-process redevelopment projects - under construction | 2 | 100,000 |
Our stabilized portfolio also excludes our future development pipeline, which as of December 31, 2023 was comprised ofeight future development sites, representing approximately 64 gross acres of undeveloped land.
As of December 31, 2023, all of our properties, development projects and redevelopment projects were owned and all of our business was conducted in the state of California with the exception often stabilized office properties andone future development project located in the state of Washington andone stabilized office property andone future development project in Austin, Texas. All of our properties, development projects and redevelopment projects are 100% owned, excluding four office properties owned bythree consolidated property partnerships. Two of thethree consolidated property partnerships, 100 First Street Member, LLC (“100 First LLC”) and 303 Second Street Member, LLC (“303 Second LLC”), each ownedone office property in San Francisco, California through subsidiary REITs. As of December 31, 2023, the Company owned a 56% common equity interest in both 100 First LLC and 303 Second LLC. The third consolidated property partnership, Redwood City Partners, LLC (“Redwood LLC”) ownedtwo office properties in Redwood City, California. As of December 31, 2023, the Company owned an approximate 93% common equity interest in Redwood LLC. The remaining interests in allthree property partnerships were owned by unrelated third parties.
As of December 31, 2023, the Company owned an approximate 99.0% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 1.0% common limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2023 was owned by non-affiliated investors and certain of our executive officers and directors. Both the general and limited common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are denominated in common units. Generally, the number of common units held by the Company is equivalent to the number of outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, and the rights of all the common units to quarterly distributions and payments in liquidation mirror those of the Company’s common stockholders. The common limited partners have certain redemption rights as provided in the Operating Partnership’s Seventh Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended, the “Partnership Agreement”. With the exception of the Operating Partnership and our consolidated property partnerships, all of our subsidiaries are wholly-owned.

- Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership, 303 Second LLC, 100 First LLC, Redwood LLC and all of our wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership include the consolidated financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership, 303 Second LLC, 100 First LLC, Redwood LLC and all of our wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Partially Owned Entities and Variable Interest Entities
At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the consolidated financial statements of the Company includedtwo VIEs in addition to the Operating Partnership: 100 First LLC and 303 Second LLC. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company and the Operating Partnership were determined to be the primary beneficiaries of thesetwo VIEs since we had the ability to control the activities that most significantly impact each of the VIEs’ economic performance. As of December 31, 2023, thetwo VIEs’ total assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests included on our consolidated balance sheet were approximately $416.7 million (of which $350.0 million related to real estate held for investment), approximately $23.6 million and approximately $173.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2022, thetwo VIEs’ total assets, liabilities and noncontrolling interests included on our consolidated balance sheet were approximately $438.7 million (of which $362.7 million related to real estate held for investment on our consolidated balance sheet), approximately $31.5 million and approximately $179.4 million, respectively. Revenues, income and net assets generated by 100 First LLC and 303 Second LLC may only be used to settle their contractual obligations, which primarily consist of operating expenses, capital expenditures and required distributions.
Our accounting policy is to consolidate entities in which we have a controlling financial interest and significant decision making control over the entity's operations. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest in a partially owned entity and the requirement to consolidate the accounts of that entity, we consider factors such as ownership interest, board representation, management representation, size of our investment (including loans), authority to control decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of the members. In addition to evaluating control rights, we consolidate entities in which the other members have no substantive kick-out rights to remove the Company as the managing member.
Entities in which the equity investors do not have sufficient equity at risk to finance their endeavors without additional financial support or the holders of the equity investment at risk do not have a controlling financial interest are VIEs. We evaluate whether an entity is a VIE and whether we are the primary beneficiary. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
If the requirements for consolidation are not met, the Company would account for investments under the equity method of accounting if we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the entity. Equity method investments would be initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our share of net income or loss and cash contributions and distributions each period. The Company didnot have any equity method investments at December 31, 2023 or 2022.

Significant Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue for office, life science and retail operating properties is our principal source of revenue. We recognize revenue from base rent (fixed lease payments), additional rent (variable lease payments, which consist of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs), parking and other lease-related revenue once all of the following criteria are met: (i) the agreement has been fully executed and delivered, (ii) services have been rendered, (iii) the amount is fixed or determinable and (iv) payment has been received or the collectability of substantially all of the amount due is probable. Minimum annual rental revenues are recognized in rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the related lease.
Base Rent
The timing of when we commence rental revenue recognition for office, life science and retail properties depends largely on our conclusion as to whether the Company or the tenant is the owner for accounting purposes of tenant improvements at the leased property. When we conclude that the Company is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record the cost to construct the tenant improvements as an asset and commence rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of or controls the finished space, which is generally when tenant improvements being recorded as our assets are substantially complete. In certain instances, when we conclude that the tenant is the owner of certain tenant improvements for accounting purposes, rental revenue recognition begins when the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased space. The determination of who owns the tenant improvements is made on a lease-by-lease basis and has a significant effect on the timing of commencement of revenue recognition. Further, the Company may deliver leased space in phases, rather than for an entire building or project, resulting in various revenue commencement dates for a particular lease, which involves significant judgment surrounding when the tenant takes possession of or controls each respective phase, building or project.
When we conclude that the Company is the owner of tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record the cost to construct the tenant improvements, including costs paid for or reimbursed by the tenants, as our capital asset. For these tenant-funded tenant improvements, we record the amount funded by or reimbursed by tenants as deferred revenue, which is amortized and recognized as rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease beginning upon substantial completion of the leased premises.
When we conclude that the tenant is the owner of certain tenant improvements for accounting purposes, we record our contribution towards those tenant-owned improvements as a lease incentive, which is included in deferred leasing costs and acquisition-related intangible assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets and amortized as a reduction to rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease beginning upon substantial completion of the leased premises.
For residential properties, we commence revenue recognition upon lease commencement. Residential rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease, net of any concessions.
When a lease is amended, which may occur from time to time, we determine whether (1) an additional right of use not included in the original lease is being granted as a result of the modification, and (2) there is an increase in the lease payments that is commensurate with the standalone price for the additional right of use. If both of those conditions are met, the amendment is accounted for as a separate lease contract. If either of those conditions are not met, the amendment is accounted for as a lease modification. Most of our lease amendments are accounted for as a modification of our operating leases which will likely require us to reassess both the lease term and fixed lease payments, including considering any prepaid or deferred rent receivables relating to the original lease, as a part of the lease payments for the modified lease.
Termination options in some of our leases allow the tenant to terminate the lease, in part or in whole, prior to the end of the lease term under certain circumstances. Termination options require advance notification from the tenant and payment of a termination fee that reimburses us for a portion of the remaining rent under the original
F - 17 lease term and the net book value of lease inception costs such as commissions, tenant improvements and lease incentives. Termination fee income, included in rental income, is recognized on a straight-line basis from the date of the executed termination agreement through lease expiration when the amount of the fee is determinable and collectability of the fee is probable. This fee income is reduced on a straight-line basis by any deferred rent receivable related to the lease.
Generally, our leases require our tenants to restore the leased space to standard office condition upon the expiration of the lease. In limited circumstances, tenants may negotiate to pay us a restoration fee in lieu of restoring the space. Restoration fee income, included in rental income, is recognized on a straight-line basis from the date of the executed restoration fee agreement through lease expiration when the amount of the fee is determinable and collectability of the fee is probable.
Additional Rent - Reimbursements from Tenants
Additional rent, consisting of amounts due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, is recognized in rental income in the period the recoverable costs are incurred. Additional rent where we pay the associated costs directly to third-party vendors and are reimbursed by our tenants are recognized and recorded on a gross basis, with the corresponding expense recognized in property expenses or real estate taxes.
Other Property Income
Other property income primarily includes amounts recorded in connection with transient daily parking, tenant bankruptcy settlement payments, broken deal income and property damage settlement related payments. Other property income also includes miscellaneous income from tenants and fees for late rental payments. Amounts recorded within other property income fall within the scope of ASC Topic 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” and are recognized as revenue at the point in time when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer and our performance obligation is satisfied.
Uncollectible Lease Receivables and Allowances for Tenant and Deferred Rent Receivables
Current tenant receivables consist primarily of amounts due for contractual lease payments and reimbursements of common area maintenance expenses, property taxes, and other costs recoverable from tenants. Deferred rent receivables represent the amount by which the cumulative straight-line rental revenue recorded to date exceeds cash rents billed to date under the lease agreement.
We carry our current and deferred rent receivables net of allowances for amounts that may not be collected. These allowances are increased or decreased through rental income, and our determination of the adequacy of the Company’s allowances for tenant receivables includes a binary assessment of whether or not substantially all of the amounts due under a tenant’s lease agreement are probable of collection. Such assessment involves using a methodology that incorporates a specific identification analysis and an aging analysis, considering the current economic and business environment, including factors such as the age and nature of the receivables, the payment history and financial condition of the tenant, our assessment of the tenant’s ability to meet its lease obligations, and the status of negotiations of any disputes with the tenant. This determination is performed on a quarterly basis and requires significant judgment and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time the estimates are made, including the creditworthiness of specific tenants, specific industry trends and conditions, and general economic trends and conditions. Since these factors are beyond our control, actual results can differ from our estimates, and such differences could be material.
For leases that are deemed probable of collection, revenue continues to be recorded on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and for some tenants may include an offsetting partial allowance for uncollectible accounts related to current tenant and deferred rent receivables that exhibit a certain level of collection risk based on the results of the assessment described above. For leases that are deemed not probable of collection, revenue is recorded as the lesser of (i) the amount which would be recognized on a straight-line basis or (ii) cash that has been received from the tenant, including deferred revenue, with any tenant and deferred rent receivable balances charged as a direct write-
F - 18 off against rental income in the period of the change in the collectability determination. If the collectability determination subsequently changes to being probable of collection for leases for which revenue is recorded based on cash received from the tenant, we resume recognizing revenue, including deferred revenue, on a straight-line basis and recognize incremental revenue related to the reinstatement of cumulative deferred rent receivable and deferred revenue balances, as if revenue had been recorded on a straight-line basis since the inception of the lease.
Acquisitions of operating properties and development and redevelopment opportunities generally do not meet the definition of a business and are accounted for as asset acquisitions, as substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets. For these asset acquisitions, we record the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on each asset’s and liability’s relative fair value at the acquisition date of the total purchase price plus any capitalized acquisition costs, including costs incurred during negotiation. When applicable, we record the acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities of acquisitions of operating properties and development and redevelopment opportunities that meet the accounting criteria to be accounted for as business combinations at fair value at the acquisition date.
The acquired assets and assumed liabilities for an acquisition generally include but are not limited to (i) land and improvements, buildings and improvements, undeveloped land and construction in progress and (ii) identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities associated with in-place leases, including tenant improvements, leasing costs, value of above-market and below-market operating leases and ground leases, acquired in-place lease values and tenant relationships, if any. Any debt assumed and equity (including common units of the Operating Partnership) issued in connection with a property acquisition is recorded at relative fair value on the date of acquisition.
The fair value of land and improvements is derived from comparable sales of land and improvements within the same submarket and/or region. The fair value of buildings and improvements, tenant improvements and leasing costs considers the value of the property as if it was vacant as well as current replacement costs and other relevant market rate information.
The fair value of the above-market or below-market component of an acquired in-place operating lease is based upon the present value (calculated using a market discount rate) of the difference between (i) the contractual rents to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining non-cancellable lease term and (ii) our estimate of the rents that would be paid using fair market rental rates and rent escalations at the date of acquisition measured over the remaining non-cancellable term of the lease for above-market operating leases and the initial non-cancellable term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options, if applicable, for below-market operating leases. Our below-market operating leases generally do not include fixed rate or below-market renewal options. The amounts recorded for above-market operating leases are included in deferred leasing costs and acquisition-related intangible assets, net on the balance sheet and are amortized on a straight-line basis as a reduction of rental income over the remaining term of the applicable leases. The amounts recorded for below-market operating leases are included in deferred revenue and acquisition-related intangible liabilities, net on the balance sheet and are amortized on a straight-line basis as an increase to rental income over the remaining term of the applicable leases plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options, if applicable. The amortization of a below-market ground lease obligation is recorded as an increase to ground lease expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented. The amortization of an above-market ground lease obligation is recorded as a decrease to ground lease expense in the consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented.
The fair value of acquired in-place leases is derived based on our assessment of lost revenue and costs incurred for the period required to lease the “assumed vacant” property to the occupancy level when purchased. The amount recorded for acquired in-place leases is included in deferred leasing costs and acquisition-related intangible assets, net on the balance sheet and amortized as an increase to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of the applicable leases. Fully amortized intangible assets are written off each quarter.
F - 19
Operating Properties
Operating properties are generally carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation. Properties held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying value or the fair value less estimated cost to sell. The cost of operating properties includes the purchase price or development costs of the properties. Costs incurred for the renovation and betterment of the operating properties are capitalized to our investment in that property. Maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Cost Capitalization
All costs clearly associated with the development, redevelopment and construction of a property are capitalized as project costs, including internal compensation costs. In addition, the following costs are capitalized as project costs during periods in which activities necessary to prepare development and redevelopment properties for their intended use are in progress: pre-construction costs essential to the development of the property, interest, real estate taxes and insurance.
For office, life science and retail development and redevelopment properties that are pre-leased, we cease capitalization when revenue recognition commences, which is upon substantial completion of tenant improvements deemed to be the Company’s asset for accounting purposes.
For office, life science and retail development and redevelopment properties that are not pre-leased, we may not immediately build out the tenant improvements. Therefore, we cease capitalization when revenue recognition commences upon substantial completion of the tenant improvements deemed to be the Company’s asset for accounting purposes, but in any event, no later than one year after the cessation of major base building construction activities. We also cease capitalization on a development or redevelopment property when activities necessary to prepare the property for its intended use have been suspended.
For office, life science and retail development or redevelopment properties with multiple tenants and phased leasing, we cease capitalization and begin depreciation on the portion of the development or redevelopment property for which revenue recognition has commenced.
For residential development properties, we cease capitalization when the property is substantially complete and available for occupancy.
Once major base building construction activities have ceased and the development or redevelopment property or phases of the development or redevelopment project is placed in service, which may occur in phases or for an entire building or project, the costs capitalized to construction in progress are transferred to land and improvements, buildings and improvements, and deferred leasing costs on our consolidated balance sheets as the historical cost of the property.
Evaluation of Asset Impairment
When evaluating operating real estate assets to be held and used for potential impairment, we first evaluate whether there are any indicators of impairment. If any impairment indicators are present for a specific real estate asset, we then evaluate the regional market conditions that could reasonably affect the real estate asset. If there are negative changes and trends in that regional market, we then perform an undiscounted cash flow analysis and compare the net carrying amount of the real estate asset to the real estate asset’s estimated undiscounted future cash flow over the anticipated holding period. If the estimated undiscounted future cash flow is less than the net carrying amount of the real estate asset, we perform an impairment loss calculation to determine if the fair value of the real estate asset is less than the net carrying value of the real estate asset. Our impairment loss calculation compares the net carrying amount of the real estate asset to the real estate asset’s estimated fair value, which may be based on estimated discounted future cash flow calculations or third-party valuations or appraisals. We recognize an impairment loss if the real estate asset's net carrying amount exceeds the real estate asset's estimated fair value. If we recognize an impairment loss, the estimated fair value of the real estate asset becomes its new cost basis. For a
F - 20 depreciable long-lived asset, the new cost basis would be depreciated (amortized) over the remaining useful life of that asset.
Depreciation and Amortization of Buildings and Improvements
The costs of buildings and improvements and tenant improvements are depreciated using the straight-line method of accounting over the estimated useful lives set forth in the table below. Depreciation expense for buildings and improvements for the three years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021 was $300.1 million, $287.8 million, and $256.3 million, respectively.
| Asset Description | Depreciable Lives |
|---|---|
| Buildings and improvements | 25 – 40 years |
| Tenant improvements | 1 – 20 years (1) |
(1)Tenant improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or the estimated useful life.
Real Estate Assets Held for Sale, Dispositions and Discontinued Operations
A real estate asset is classified as held for sale when certain criteria are met, including but not limited to the availability of the asset for immediate sale, the existence of an active program to locate a buyer and the probable sale or transfer of the asset within one year. If such criteria are met, we present the applicable assets and liabilities related to the real estate asset, if material, separately on the balance sheet as held for sale and we would cease to record depreciation and amortization expense. Real estate assets held for sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their estimated fair value less the estimated costs to sell. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we didnot have any properties classified as held for sale.
Property disposals representing a strategic shift that have (or will have) a major effect on the Company’s operations and financial results, such as a major line of business, a major geographical area or a major equity investment, are required to be presented as discontinued operations. If we were to determine that a property disposition represents a strategic shift, the revenues, expenses and net gain (loss) on dispositions of the property would be recorded in discontinued operations for all periods presented through the date of the applicable disposition. The operations of the properties sold during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 are presented in continuing operations as they did not represent a strategic shift in the Company’s operations and financial results. We did not dispose of any properties during the year ended December 31, 2023.
The net gains (losses) on dispositions of non-depreciable real estate property, including land, are reported in the consolidated statements of operations as gains (losses) on sale of land within continuing operations in the period the land is sold. The net gains (losses) on dispositions of depreciable real estate property are reported in the consolidated statements of operations as gains (losses) on sales of depreciable operating properties within continuing operations in the period the property is sold.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly-liquid investments, including certificates of deposits, with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash consists of cash proceeds from dispositions that are temporarily held at qualified intermediaries for purposes of facilitating potential Section 1031 Exchanges, and cash held in escrow related to acquisition and disposition holdbacks. Restricted cash also includes cash held as collateral to provide credit enhancement for the Operating Partnership’s mortgage debt, including cash reserves for capital expenditures, tenant improvements and property taxes. We didnot have any cash held at qualified intermediaries at December 31, 2023 and 2022.
F - 21
Marketable Securities
Marketable securities reported in our consolidated balance sheets represent certificates of deposit with original maturities greater than three months and the assets held in connection with the Kilroy Realty Corporation 2007 Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) (see Note 17 “Employee Benefit Plans” for additional information. The Company intends to hold the certificates of deposit until their maturity. As a result, the certificates of deposit are classified as held-to-maturity securities. The Deferred Compensation Plan assets are held in a limited rabbi trust and invested in various mutual and money market funds. As a result, the marketable securities are treated as trading securities for financial reporting purposes and are adjusted to fair value at the end of each accounting period.
At the time eligible management employees (“Participants”) defer compensation or earn mandatory Company contributions, or if we were to make a discretionary contribution, we record compensation cost and a corresponding deferred compensation plan liability, which is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets. This liability is adjusted to fair value at the end of each accounting period based on the performance of the benchmark funds selected by each Participant, and the impact of adjusting the liability to fair value is recorded as an increase or decrease to compensation cost. The impact of adjusting the deferred compensation plan liability to fair value and the changes in the value of the marketable securities held in connection with the Deferred Compensation Plan generally offset and therefore do not significantly impact net income.
Deferred Leasing Costs
Costs incurred in connection with successful property leasing are capitalized as deferred leasing costs and classified as investing activities in the statement of cash flows. Deferred leasing costs consist of leasing commissions paid to external third-party brokers and lease incentives, and are amortized using the straight-line method of accounting over the lives of the leases which generally range fromone to 20 years. We may re-evaluate the remaining useful lives of leasing costs as the creditworthiness of our tenants and economic and market conditions change. If we determine that the estimated remaining life of a lease has changed, we adjust the amortization period accordingly. Fully amortized deferred leasing costs are written off each quarter.
Deferred Financing Costs
Financing costs related to the origination or assumption of long-term debt are deferred and generally amortized into interest expense using the straight-line method of accounting, which approximates the effective interest method, over the contractual terms of the applicable financings. Fully amortized deferred financing costs are written off when the corresponding financing is repaid.
Debt Discounts and Premiums
Original issuance debt discounts and discounts/premiums related to recording debt acquired in connection with operating property acquisitions at fair value are generally amortized and accreted on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest method. Discounts are recorded as additional interest expense from date of issuance or acquisition through the contractual maturity date of the related debt. Premiums are recorded as a reduction to interest expense from the date of issuance or acquisition through the contractual maturity date of the related debt.
Noncontrolling Interests - Common Units of the Operating Partnership in the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements
Common units of the Operating Partnership within noncontrolling interests in the Company’s consolidated financial statements represent the common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company (“noncontrolling common units”). Noncontrolling common units are presented in the equity section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and are reported at their proportionate share of the net assets of the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests with redemption provisions that permit the issuer to settle in either cash or shares of common stock must be further evaluated to determine whether equity or temporary equity
F - 22 classification on the balance sheet is appropriate. Since the common units contain such a provision, we evaluated the accounting guidance and determined that the common units qualify for equity presentation in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Net income attributable to noncontrolling common units is allocated based on their relative ownership percentage of the Operating Partnership during the reported period. The noncontrolling interest ownership percentage is determined by dividing the number of noncontrolling common units by the total number of common units outstanding. The issuance or redemption of additional shares of common stock or common units results in changes to the noncontrolling interest percentage as well as the total net assets of the Company. As a result, all equity transactions result in an allocation between equity and the noncontrolling interest in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and statements of equity to account for the changes in the noncontrolling interest ownership percentage as well as the change in total net assets of the Company.
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Property Partnerships
Noncontrolling interests in consolidated property partnerships represent the equity interests held by unrelated third parties in ourthree consolidated property partnerships (see Note 12 “Noncontrolling Interests on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements” and see Note 13 “Noncontrolling Interests on the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements”). Noncontrolling interests in consolidated property partnerships are not redeemable and are presented as permanent equity in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. We account for the noncontrolling interests in consolidated property partnerships using the hypothetical liquidation at book value (“HLBV”) method to attribute the earnings or losses of the consolidated property partnerships between the controlling and noncontrolling interests. Under the HLBV method, the amounts reported as noncontrolling interests in consolidated property partnerships in the consolidated balance sheets represent the amounts the noncontrolling interests would hypothetically receive at each balance sheet reporting date under the liquidation provisions of the governing agreements assuming the net assets of the consolidated property partnerships were liquidated at recorded amounts and distributed between the controlling and noncontrolling interests in accordance with the governing documents. The net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated property partnerships in the consolidated statements of operations is associated with the increase or decrease in the noncontrolling interest holders’ contractual claims on the respective entities’ balance sheets assuming a hypothetical liquidation at the end of that reporting period when compared with their claims on the respective entities’ balance sheets assuming a hypothetical liquidation at the beginning of that reporting period, after removing the impact of any contributions or distributions.
Common Partnership Interests on the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Balance Sheets
The common units held by the Company and the noncontrolling common units held by the common limited partners are both presented in the permanent equity section of the Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets in partners’ capital. The redemption rights of the noncontrolling common units permit us to settle the redemption obligation in either cash or shares of the Company’s common stock at our option (see Note 12 “Noncontrolling Interests on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information).
Noncontrolling Interests on the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements
Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements include the noncontrolling interest in property partnerships (see Note 13 “Noncontrolling Interests on the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements”).
Equity Offerings
Underwriting commissions and offering costs incurred in connection with common equity offerings and any at-the-market stock offering programs (see Note 14 “Stockholders’ Equity of the Company”) are reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Issuance costs incurred in connection with preferred equity offerings are reflected as a reduction of the carrying value of the preferred equity.

The net proceeds from any equity offering of the Company are generally contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a number of common units equivalent to the number of shares of common stock issued and are reflected in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements as an increase in partners’ capital.
Share-based Incentive Compensation Accounting
Compensation cost for all share-based awards, including options, requires measurement at estimated fair value on the grant date. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service vesting period, which represents the requisite service period. The grant date fair value of market measure-based share-based compensation plans are calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model. Equity awards settled in cash are valued at the fair value of our common stock on the period end date through the settlement date. Equity awards settled in cash are remeasured at each reporting period and are recognized as a liability in the consolidated balance sheet during the vesting period until settlement. Forfeitures of all share-based awards are recognized when they occur.
For share-based awards in which the performance period precedes the grant date, we recognize compensation cost over the requisite service period, which includes both the performance and service vesting periods, using the accelerated attribution expense method. The requisite service period begins on the date the Executive Compensation Committee authorizes the award and adopts any relevant performance measures.
For share-based awards with performance-based measures, the total estimated compensation cost is based on our most recent estimate of the probable achievement of the pre-established specific corporate performance measures. These estimates are based on actual results and our latest internal forecasts for each performance measure. For share-based awards with market measures, the total estimated compensation cost is based on the fair value of the award at the grant date. For share-based awards with performance-based measures and market measures, the total estimated compensation cost is based on the fair value per share at the grant date multiplied by our most recent estimate of the number of shares to be earned based on actual results and the probable achievement of the pre-established corporate performance measures based on our latest internal forecasts.
In accordance with the provisions of our share-based incentive compensation plan, we accept the return of shares of Company common stock, at the current quoted market price, from employees to satisfy minimum statutory tax-withholding requirements related to shares that vested during the period.
For share-based awards granted by the Company, the Operating Partnership issues a number of common units equal to the number of shares of common stock ultimately granted by the Company in respect of such awards.
Basic and Diluted Net Income Available to Common Stockholders per Share
Basic net income available to common stockholders per share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders, after preferred distributions and the allocation of income to participating securities, by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net income available to common stockholders per share is computed by dividing net income available for common stockholders, after preferred distributions and the allocation of income to participating securities, by the sum of the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period plus the assumed exercise of all dilutive securities. The impact of the outstanding common units is considered in the calculation of diluted net income available to common stockholders per share. The common units are not reflected in the diluted net income available to common stockholders per share calculation because the exchange of common units into common stock is on aone for one basis, and the common units are allocated net income on a per share basis equal to the common stock (see Note 21 “Net Income Available to Common Stockholders Per Share of the Company”). Accordingly, any exchange would not have any effect on diluted net income (loss) available to common stockholders per share.
Nonvested share-based payment awards (including nonvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”), vested market-measure RSUs and vested dividend equivalents issued to holders of RSUs) containing nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents are accounted for as participating securities and included in the computation of basic and diluted net income available to common stockholders per share pursuant to the two-class method. The dilutive effect of shares issuable under executed forward equity sale agreements, if any, and stock options are
F - 24 reflected in the weighted average diluted outstanding shares calculation by application of the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of the outstanding nonvested shares of common stock (“nonvested shares”) and RSUs that have not yet been granted but are contingently issuable under the share-based compensation programs is reflected in the weighted average diluted shares calculation by application of the treasury stock method at the beginning of the quarterly period in which all necessary conditions have been satisfied.
Basic and Diluted Net Income Available to Common Unitholders per Unit
Basic net income available to common unitholders per unit is computed by dividing net income available to common unitholders, after preferred distributions and the allocation of income to participating securities, by the weighted-average number of vested common units outstanding for the period. Diluted net income available to common unitholders per unit is computed by dividing net income available to common unitholders, after preferred distributions and the allocation of income to participating securities, by the sum of the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for the period plus the assumed exercise of all dilutive securities.
The dilutive effect of stock options, outstanding nonvested shares, RSUs, awards containing nonforfeitable rights to dividend equivalents and shares issuable under executed forward equity sale agreements, if any, are reflected in diluted net income available to common unitholders per unit in the same manner as noted above for net income available to common stockholders per share.
Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of our financial assets and liabilities are disclosed in Note 20, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” to our consolidated financial statements. The only financial assets recorded at fair value on a recurring basis in our consolidated financial statements are the marketable securities held in connection with our Deferred Compensation Plan. We elected not to apply the fair value option for any of our eligible financial instruments or other items.
We determine the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities utilizing a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to a fair value measurement are considered to be observable or unobservable in a marketplace. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect our market assumptions. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. The following is the fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 –quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;
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 –fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
We determine the fair value for the marketable securities using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Our other financial instruments, which are only disclosed at fair value, are comprised of certificates of deposit, secured debt, unsecured senior notes, unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loan facility.
We generally determine the fair value of our secured debt, unsecured debt, unsecured term loan facility and unsecured line of credit by performing discounted cash flow analyses using an appropriate market discount rate. We calculate the market rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our fixed-rate debt and then adding an appropriate credit spread based on information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors, including but not limited to, our credit profile, the tenure of the debt, amortization period, whether the debt is secured or unsecured, and the loan-to-value ratio of the debt to the collateral. These calculations are significantly affected by the assumptions used, including the discount rate, credit spreads and estimates of future cash flows. Prior to amending the terms of our unsecured line of credit in
F - 25
October 2022, we calculated the market rate by obtaining the period-end LIBOR and then adding an appropriate credit spread based on our credit ratings and the amended terms of our unsecured line of credit agreement. Subsequent to amending the terms of our unsecured line of credit in October 2022, we calculate the market rate by obtaining Adjusted SOFR and then adding an appropriate credit spread based on our credit ratings and the amended terms of our unsecured line of credit agreement. We determine the fair value of each of our publicly traded unsecured senior notes based on their quoted trading price at the end of the reporting period, if such prices are available.
Carrying amounts of our cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, certificates of deposit and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities of 12 months or less.
Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must distribute annually at least 90% of our adjusted taxable income, as defined in the Code, to our stockholders and satisfy certain other organizational and operating requirements. We generally will not be subject to federal income taxes if we distribute 100% of our taxable income for each year to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes on our taxable income at regular corporate rates and we may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income taxes and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. We believe that we have met all of the REIT distribution and technical requirements for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, and we werenot subject to any federal income taxes (see Note 25 “Tax Treatment of Distributions” for additional information). We intend to continue to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Company’s REIT status. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been made in the accompanying financial statements.
In addition, any taxable income from our taxable REIT subsidiaries are subject to federal, state, and local income taxes. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 the taxable REIT subsidiaries hadde minimis taxable income.
Uncertain Tax Positions
We include favorable tax positions in the calculation of tax liabilities if it is more likely than not that our adopted tax position will prevail if challenged by tax authorities.
We evaluated the potential impact of identified uncertain tax positions for all tax years still subject to audit under state and federal income tax law and concluded that we did not have any unrecognized tax benefits or any additional tax liabilities as of December 31, 2023 or 2022. As of December 31, 2023, the years still subject to audit are 2019 through 2023 under the California state income tax law, 2021 through 2022 under the Texas state income tax law and 2020 through 2023 under the federal income tax law.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Segments
We currently operate inone operating segment, our office and life science properties segment.

Concentration of Credit Risk
All of our properties and development and redevelopment projects are owned and all of our business is currently conducted in the state of California with the exception of the ownership and operation often stabilized office properties andone future development project located in the state of Washington andone stabilized office property andone future development project located in Austin, Texas. The ability of tenants to honor the terms of their leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory, and social factors affecting the communities in which our tenants operate.
We have deposited cash with financial institutions that is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) up to $250,000 per institution. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had cash accounts and certificates of deposit in excess of FDIC insured limits.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this ASU on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Tax Disclosures.” The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company does not currently anticipate that the guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements.

- Secured and Unsecured Debt of the Company
In this Note 9, the “Company” refers solely to Kilroy Realty Corporation and not to any of our subsidiaries. The Company itself does not hold any indebtedness. All of our secured and unsecured debt is held directly by the Operating Partnership.
The Company generally guarantees all of the Operating Partnership’s unsecured debt obligations including the unsecured revolving credit facility, the unsecured term loan facility and all of the unsecured senior notes. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Operating Partnership had $4.3 billion and $4.0 billion, respectively, outstanding in total, including unamortized discounts and deferred financing costs, under these unsecured debt obligations.
In addition, although the remaining $0.6 billion and $0.2 billion of the Operating Partnership’s debt as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, is secured and non-recourse to the Company, the Company provides limited customary secured debt guarantees for items such as voluntary bankruptcy, fraud, misapplication of payments and environmental liabilities.
Debt Covenants and Restrictions
One of the covenants contained within the unsecured revolving credit facility as discussed further below in Note 10 prohibits the Company from paying dividends during an event of default in excess of an amount which results in distributions to us in an amount sufficient to permit us to pay dividends to our stockholders that we reasonably believe are necessary to (a) maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal and state income tax purposes and (b) avoid the payment of federal or state income or excise tax.
- Secured and Unsecured Debt of the Operating Partnership
Secured Debt
In July 2023, certain of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries entered into a $375.0 million mortgage loan transaction (the “Loan”) secured by, among other things, a deed of trust, assignment of leases and rents, security agreement and fixture filing encumberingtwo office buildings,608 apartment units and over 95,000 square feet of retail at the Company’s One Paseo mixed-use campus in Del Mar, California. The Loan matures on August 10, 2034, bears interest at an annual rate of 5.90% and requires monthly interest payments only, which commenced on September 10, 2023. In addition, the Operating Partnership has entered into a guaranty in favor of the lender in connection with the Loan. The Loan is generally non-recourse to the Operating Partnership, but the lender has recourse to the Operating Partnership for certain recourse exceptions.

F - 32
The Operating Partnership’s secured debt was collateralized by operating properties with a combined net book value of approximately $817.3 million as of December 31, 2023.
Although our mortgage loans are secured and non-recourse to the Company and the Operating Partnership, the Company provides limited customary secured debt guarantees for items such as voluntary bankruptcy, fraud, misapplication of payments and environmental liabilities.
As of December 31, 2023, all of the Operating Partnership’s secured loans contained restrictions that would require the payment of prepayment penalties for the acceleration of outstanding debt. The mortgage notes payable are secured by deeds of trust on certain of our properties and the assignment of certain rents and leases associated with those properties.
Unsecured Debt
Early Redemption of $300.0 million Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2023
In October 2021, the Operating Partnership early redeemed, at our option, the $300.0 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 3.800% unsecured senior notes that were scheduled to mature on January 15, 2023. In connection with the early redemption, we incurred a $12.2 million loss on early extinguishment of debt comprised of a $12.1 million premium paid to the note holders at the redemption date and a $0.1 million write-off of the unamortized discount and unamortized deferred financing costs.
Partial Repurchase of $425.0 million Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2024
During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company completed open-market repurchases of $21.3 million of the Operating Partnership’s 3.450% $425.0 million unsecured senior notes due December 15, 2024 at a discount, leaving an aggregate remaining principal balance of $403.7 million.
Issuance of $400.0 million Unsecured Senior Notes Due 2036
On January 12, 2024, the Operating Partnership issued $400.0 million aggregated principal amount of unsecured senior notes in a registered public offering. The unsecured senior notes, which are scheduled to mature on January 15, 2036, require semi-annual interest payments each January and July based on a stated interest rate of 6.250%. See Note 26 “Subsequent Events” for additional information.

| Maturity date | July 31, 2025 | |
(1)Total borrowing capacity is reduced by the amount of our outstanding letters of credit which total approximately $5.2 million as of December 31, 2023. We may elect to borrow, subject to bank approval and obtaining commitments for any additional borrowing capacity, up to an additional $500.0 million under an accordion feature pursuant to the terms of the unsecured revolving credit facility.
(2)Our unsecured revolving credit facility interest rate was calculated using a contractual rate of Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% (“Adjusted SOFR”) and a margin of 0.900% based on our credit rating as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. We may be entitled to a temporary 0.01% reduction in the interest rate provided we meet certain sustainability goals with respect to the ongoing reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
(3)Our facility fee is paid on a quarterly basis and is calculated based on the total borrowing capacity. In addition to the facility fee, we incurred debt origination and legal costs. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, $3.2 million and $5.3 million of unamortized deferred financing costs, respectively, which are included in prepaid expenses and other assets, net on our consolidated balance sheets, remained to be amortized through the maturity date of our unsecured revolving credit facility.

The Operating Partnership intends to borrow under the unsecured revolving credit facility from time to time for general corporate purposes, to finance development and redevelopment expenditures, to fund potential acquisitions and to potentially repay long-term debt and to supplement cash balances given uncertainties and volatility in market conditions.
In October 2022, the Operating Partnership entered into a $400.0 million unsecured term loan facility and made an initial draw of $200.0 million. The borrowing rate under the unsecured term loan facility is variable and subject to a ratings-based pricing grid, currently calculated as Adjusted SOFR plus 0.950%. The unsecured term loan facility also has a delayed draw feature and a $100.0 million accordion mechanism, subject to lender commitments. The unsecured term loan facility is scheduled to mature in October 2024 and includestwo twelve-month extension options at our option.
In January 2023, the Operating Partnership entered into the first amendment to its unsecured term loan facility agreement to (i) exercise the accordion feature under the term loan agreement to provide for $100.0 million of additional term loan commitments and (ii) increase the borrowing capacity under the accordion feature to provide additional term loan commitments or add one or more tranches of term loans up to an aggregate amount of $650.0 million. In March 2023, the Operating Partnership further amended the unsecured term loan facility agreement to exercise the accordion feature to provide for $20.0 million of additional term loan commitments, bringing the total borrowing capacity of the unsecured term loan facility to $520.0 million.

- Noncontrolling Interests on the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements
Common Units of the Operating Partnership
The Company owned an approximate 99.0% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The remaining approximate 1.0% common limited partnership interest as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 was owned by non-affiliated investors and certain of our executive officers and directors in the form of noncontrolling common units. There were 1,150,574 common units outstanding held by these investors, executive officers and directors as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The noncontrolling common units may be redeemed by unitholders for cash. Except under certain circumstances, we, at our option, may satisfy the cash redemption obligation with shares of the Company’s common stock on aone-for-one basis. If satisfied in cash, the value for each noncontrolling common unit upon redemption is the amount equal to the average of the closing quoted price per share of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share, as reported on the NYSE for theten trading days immediately preceding the applicable redemption date. The aggregate value upon redemption of the then-outstanding noncontrolling common units was $47.0 million and $44.7 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This redemption value does not necessarily represent the amount that would be distributed with respect to each noncontrolling common unit in the event of our termination or liquidation. In the event of our termination or liquidation, it is expected in most cases that each common unit would be entitled to a liquidating distribution equal to the liquidating distribution payable in respect of each share of the Company’s common stock.
Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Property Partnerships
In August 2016, the Operating Partnership entered into agreements with Norges Bank Real Estate Management (“NBREM”) whereby NBREM made contributions, throughtwo REIT subsidiaries, for a 44% common equity interest intwo existing companies that owned the Company’s 100 First Street and 303 Second Street office properties located in San Francisco, California. The transactions did not meet the criteria to qualify as sales of real estate because the Company continues to effectively control the properties and therefore continued to account for the 100 First Street and 303 Second Street office properties on a consolidated basis in its financial statements. At formation, the Company accounted for the transactions as equity transactions and recognized noncontrolling interests in its consolidated balance sheets.
The noncontrolling interests in 100 First LLC and 303 Second LLC as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $173.7 million and $179.4 million, respectively. The remaining amount of noncontrolling interests in consolidated property partnerships represents the third party equity interest in Redwood LLC. This noncontrolling interest was $4.6 million and $5.0 million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Stockholder Approved Share-Based Incentive Compensation Plan
As of December 31, 2023, we maintainedone share-based incentive compensation plan, the Kilroy Realty 2006 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (the “2006 Plan”). The Company has a currently effective registration statement registering 12.6 million shares of our common stock for possible issuance under our 2006 Plan. As of December 31, 2023, approximately 2.8 million shares were available for grant under the 2006 Plan. The calculation of shares available for grant is presented after taking into account a reserve for a sufficient number of shares to cover the vesting and payment of 2006 Plan awards that were outstanding on that date, including performance-based vesting awards at (i) levels actually achieved for the performance conditions (as defined below) for which the performance period has been completed and (ii) at maximum levels for the other performance and market conditions (as defined below) for awards still in a performance period.
The Executive Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Executive Compensation Committee”) may grant the following share-based awards to eligible individuals, as provided under the 2006 Plan: incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, restricted stock (nonvested shares), stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance stock units, dividend equivalents, stock payments, deferred stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), profit interest units, performance bonus awards, performance-based awards and other incentive awards. For each award granted under our share-based incentive compensation programs, the Operating Partnership simultaneously issues to the Company a number of common units equal to the number of shares of common stock ultimately paid by the Company in respect of such awards. The Executive Compensation Committee generally grants awards to certain officers of the Company under the 2006 Plan annually in January and/or February of RSUs that are subject to market and/or performance-based vesting requirements and RSUs that are subject to time-based vesting requirements.
Executive Transitions
On March 30, 2023, John Kilroy, the Chairman of the Board of Directors and then Chief Executive Officer of the Company and the Operating Partnership, our “former CEO”, announced his retirement effective December 31, 2023, which was subsequently deferred to January 21, 2024 (the “Retirement Date”). Additionally, as previously disclosed, the Company and our former President entered into a separation agreement in 2022 under which he continued to serve as an officer of the Company until the scheduled expiration date of his employment agreement on March 1, 2023.
For our former CEO, the vesting of all unvested share-based compensation awards was accelerated through the Retirement Date and the final number of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) subject to market and/or performance-based vesting requirements vested was based upon a shortened performance period ending on the Retirement Date. Share-based compensation expense for these awards was recognized based on the actual achievement of market and/or performance-based vesting requirements for the shortened performance periods. For our former President, the vesting of all unvested share-based compensation awards was accelerated through March 1, 2023 and the final number of RSUs earned that were subject to market and/or performance-based vesting requirements was based upon the actual achievement of the market and/or performance conditions for a shortened performance period ended on March 1, 2023. For the year ended December 31, 2023, we recognized $27.3 million of stock compensation expense related to the accelerated vesting of awards for our former CEO and former President.
2023, 2022 and 2021 Annual Performance-Based RSU Grants
During each of thethree years in the period ended December 31, 2023, the Executive Compensation Committee granted awards to certain officers of the Company under the 2006 Plan that are subject to market and/or performance-based vesting requirements (“Performance-Based RSUs”). The Performance-Based RSUs are scheduled to vest at the end of athree year period consisting of calendar years 2023-2025, 2022-2024 and 2021-2023 for the awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. A target number of Performance-Based RSUs were awarded, and the final number of Performance-Based RSUs that
F - 41 vest (which may be more or less than the target number) will be based upon (1) during the first calendar year of the respective awards’three year performance measurement period, the achievement of pre-set FFO per share goals that applies to 100% of the Performance-Based RSUs awarded (the “FFO Performance Condition”) and (2) a performance measure that applies to 50% of the award based upon a measure of the Company’s average debt to EBITDA ratio for thethree year performance period (the “Debt to EBITDA Ratio Performance Condition”) and a market measure that applies to the other 50% of the award based upon the relative ranking of the Company’s total stockholder return for thethree year performance period compared to the total stockholder returns of an established comparison group of companies over the same period (the “Market Condition”). The Performance-Based RSUs are also subject to athree year service vesting provision (the “service vesting condition”) and are scheduled to cliff vest on the date the final vesting percentage is determined following the end of thethree year performance period under the awards. Compensation expense for the Performance-Based RSU grants are recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each participant, which is generally thethree year service period, except for our former CEO, whose compensation expense was recognized on an accelerated basis due to clauses that render a portion of the vesting conditions to be non-substantive and accelerated through his Retirement Date.
The 2023 FFO Performance Condition was achieved at 175% of target forone participant and 150% of target for all other participants. The 2022 FFO Performance Condition was achieved at 175% of target forone participant and 150% of target for all other participants. The number of 2023 and 2022 Performance-Based RSUs ultimately earned could fluctuate from the target number of Performance-Based RSUs granted during 2023 and 2022 based upon the levels of achievement for the Debt to EBITDA Ratio Performance Condition, the Market Condition, and the extent to which the service vesting condition is satisfied. The estimate of the number of Performance-Based RSUs earned is evaluated quarterly during the performance period based on our estimate for each of the performance conditions measured against the applicable goals.
The 2021 Performance-Based RSUs completed the performance measurement period and based on the combined results of the 2021 FFO Performance Condition, the Debt to EBITDA Ratio Performance Condition and the Market Condition, the 2021 Performance-Based RSUs achieved at 262.5% of target forone participant and 200% of target for the other participants.
Each Performance-Based RSU represents the right to receiveone share of our common stock in the future, subject to, and as modified by, the Company’s level of achievement of the applicable performance and market conditions. The fair values for the awards with market conditions were calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model based on the assumptions in the table below. The determination of the fair value of the 2023, 2022 and 2021 Performance-Based RSUs takes into consideration the likelihood of achievement of the 2023, 2022 and 2021 Market Condition and the share price on the grant date of the 2023, 2022 and 2021 Performance-Based RSUs, respectively, as discussed above. The following table summarizes the estimated number of RSUs earned for the 2023 and 2022 Performance-Based RSUs and the actual number of RSUs earned for the 2021 Performance-Based RSUs and the assumptions utilized in the Monte Carlo simulation pricing models:

The computation of expected volatility was based on a blend of the historical volatility of our shares of common stock over a period of twice the remaining performance period as of the grant date and implied volatility data based on the observed pricing ofsix month publicly-traded options on shares of our common stock. The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield curve on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury STRIP securities in effect at February 6, 2023, January 28, 2022, and February 18, 2021.

Annual 2023, 2022 and 2021 Time-Based RSU Grants
During each of thethree years in the period ended December 31, 2023, the Executive Compensation Committee granted awards to certain officers of the Company under the 2006 Plan that are subject to time-based vesting requirements (“Time-Based RSUs”). The annual Time-Based RSUs are scheduled to vest inthree equal annual installments over the periods listed below. Compensation expense for the annual 2023, 2022, and 2021Time-Based RSUs is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the explicit service period. However, our former CEO had a shorter service period for his 2023, 2022 and 2021 Time-Based RSUs due to clauses that render a portion of the vesting conditions to be non-substantive as well as the accelerated vesting of these awards through his Retirement Date. Each Time-Based RSU represents the right to receiveone share of our common stock in the future, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date, unless accelerated upon separation of employment, provided certain conditions are met. The total fair value of the Time-Based RSUs is based on the Company’s closing share price on the NYSE on the respective fair valuation dates as detailed in the table below:
| 2023 Time-Based RSU Grant | 2022 Time-Based RSU Grant | 2021 Time-Based RSU Grant | |

Share-Based Compensation Cost Recorded During the Period
The total compensation cost for all share-based compensation programs was $43.7 million, $34.8 million and $41.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Share-based compensation costs for the year ended December 31, 2023 includes $27.3 million of accelerated share-based compensation costs for our former CEO and former President as discussed above. Of the total share-based compensation costs, $6.9 million, $6.4 million and $7.2 million was capitalized as part of real estate assets for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, there was approximately $18.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested incentive awards granted under share-based compensation arrangements. Such amount is based in part upon the estimated future outcome of the performance metrics as of December 31, 2023, and the actual compensation cost ultimately recognized could increase or decrease from this estimate based upon actual performance results. These costs are to be expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. The remaining compensation cost related to these nonvested RSU awards had been recognized in periods prior to December 31, 2023. The $18.2 million of unrecognized compensation costs does not reflect the future compensation cost related to share-based awards that were granted subsequent to December 31, 2023.

- Employee Benefit Plans
401(k) Plan
We have a retirement savings plan designed to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code (the “401(k) Plan”). Our employees are eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan on the first day of the month after three months of service. The 401(k) Plan allows eligible employees (“401(k) Participants”) to defer up to 60% of their eligible compensation on a pre-tax basis, subject to certain maximum amounts allowed by the Code. The 401(k) Plan provides for a matching contribution by the Company in an amount equal to 50 cents of each one dollar of participant contributions up to a maximum of 10% of the 401(k) Participant’s annual salary. 401(k) Participants vest immediately in the amounts contributed by us. For each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, we contributed $1.7 million, $1.6 million and $1.5 million, respectively, to the 401(k) Plan.
Deferred Compensation Plan
In 2007, we adopted the Deferred Compensation Plan, under which directors and certain management employees may defer receipt of their compensation, including up to 70% of their salaries and up to 100% of their director fees and bonuses, as applicable. In addition, certain employee participants will receive mandatory Company contributions to their Deferred Compensation Plan accounts equal to 10% of their gross monthly salaries, without regard to whether such employees elect to defer salary or bonus compensation under the Deferred Compensation Plan. Our Board may, but has no obligation to, approve additional discretionary contributions by the Company to Participant accounts. We hold the Deferred Compensation Plan assets in a limited rabbi trust, which is subject to the claims of our creditors in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency.
See Note 20 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” for further discussion of our Deferred Compensation Plan assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Our liability of $25.0 million and $23.4 million under the Deferred Compensation Plan was fully funded as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

- Rental Income and Future Minimum Rent
Our rental income is primarily comprised of payments defined under leases and are subject to scheduled fixed increases. Additionally, rental income includes variable payments for tenant reimbursements of property-related expenses and payments based on a percentage of tenant’s sales.
The table below sets forth the allocation of rental income between fixed and variable payments and net collectability recoveries or reversals for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022:
| Year Ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 2022 | |
| Fixed lease payments | $944,618 | $923,257 |
| Variable lease payments | 184,672 | 162,638 |
| Net collectability (reversals) recoveries (1) | (11,553) | 123 |
| Total rental income | $1,117,737 | $1,086,018 |
(1)Represents adjustments to rental income related to our assessment of the collectability of amounts due under leases with our tenants, including recognition of deferred rent balances associated with tenants restored from a cash basis of revenue recognition to an accrual basis of revenue recognition and allowances for uncollectible receivables and leases deemed not probable of collection..
We have operating leases with tenants that expire at various dates through 2048 and are subject to scheduled fixed increases. Generally, the leases grant tenants renewal options. Leases also provide for additional rents based on certain operating expenses. Future contractual minimum rent under operating leases, which includes amounts contractually due from leases that are on a cash basis of reporting due to creditworthiness considerations, as of December 31, 2023 for future periods is summarized as follows:
| Year Ending | (in thousands) |
|---|---|
| 2024 | $806,250 |

- Commitments and Contingencies
General
As of December 31, 2023, we had commitments of approximately $335.9 million, excluding our ground lease commitments, for contracts and executed leases directly related to our operating, development and redevelopment properties.
Ground Leases
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we acquired the land underlying a historical ground lease (refer to Note 3 “Acquisitions” for further information). The following table summarizes our properties that are held subject to long-term noncancellable ground lease obligations and the respective contractual expiration dates at December 31, 2023:
| Property | Contractual Expiration Date (1) |
|---|---|
| 701, 801 and 837 N. 34th Street, Seattle, WA (2) | December 2041 |
| 1701 Page Mill Road and 3150 Porter Drive, Palo Alto, CA | December 2067 |
| Kilroy Airport Center Phases I, II, and III, Long Beach, CA | July 2084 |
| 3243 S. La Cienega Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA | October 2106 |
| 200 W. 6th Street, Austin, TX | December 2112 |
(1) Reflects the contractual expiration date prior to the impact of any extension or purchase options held by the Company.
(2) The Company hasthree 10-year andone 45-year extension options for this ground lease, which if exercised would extend the expiration date to December 2116. These extension options are not assumed to be exercised in our calculation of the present value of the future minimum lease payments for this lease.
To determine the discount rates used to calculate the present value of the minimum future lease payments for our ground leases, we used a hypothetical curve derived from unsecured corporate borrowing rates over the lease term. The weighted average discount rate used to determine the present value of our minimum lease payments was 4.65%. As of December 31, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term of our ground leases is 63 years. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, variable lease costs totaling $4.0 million, $3.6 million and $2.6 million, respectively, were recorded to ground leases expense on our consolidated statements of operations.
The minimum commitment under our ground leases as of December 31, 2023 for future periods is as follows:
| Year Ending | (in thousands) |
|---|---|
| 2024 | $6,737 |
| 2025 | 6,773 |
| 2026 | 6,810 |
| 2027 | 6,851 |
| 2028 | 6,870 |
| Thereafter | 363,350 |
| Total undiscounted cash flows (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6) | $397,391 |
| Present value discount | (273,038) |
| Ground lease liabilities | $124,353 |
(1)Excludes contingent future rent payments based on gross income or adjusted gross income and reflects the minimum ground lease obligations before the impact of ground lease extension options.
(2) One of our ground lease obligations is subject to a fair market value adjustment every five years; however, the lease includes ground rent subprotection and infrastructure rent credits which currently limit our annual rental obligations to $1.0 million. The contractual obligations for that ground lease included above assumes the lesser of $1.0 million or annual lease rental obligation in effect as of December 31, 2023.
(3) One of our ground lease obligations is subject to a fair market value adjustment every five years based on a combination of CPI adjustments and third-party appraisals limited to maximum increases annually. The contractual obligations for that lease included above assume the current annual ground lease obligation in effect at December 31, 2023 for the remainder of the lease term since we cannot predict future adjustments.
(4) One of our ground lease obligations includes a component which is based on the percentage of adjusted gross income that exceeds the minimum ground rent. The minimum rent is subject to increases every 10 years by an amount equal to 60% of the average annual percentage rent for the previous three years. The contractual obligations for this lease included above assume the current annual ground lease obligation in effect at December 31, 2023 for the remainder of the lease term since we cannot predict future adjustments.
(5) One of our ground lease obligations is subject to fixed 5% ground rent increases every five years, with the next increase occurring on November 1, 2027.
F - 48
(6) One of our ground lease obligations is subject to fixed 2% ground rent increases every year, with ground rent resets occurring everyten years based on CPI. The contractual obligations for that lease included above assume increases for the remaining currentten-year period based on the current annual ground lease obligation in effect at December 31, 2023 and no subsequent changes for the remainder of the lease term since we cannot predict future CPI adjustments.
Environmental Matters
We follow the policy of evaluating all of our properties, including acquisition, development, redevelopment and existing stabilized portfolio properties, for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. While there can be no assurance that a material environmental liability does not exist, we are not currently aware of any undisclosed environmental liability with respect to our stabilized portfolio properties that would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, or that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of a loss contingency.
As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, we had accrued environmental remediation liabilities of approximately $76.6 million and $80.5 million, respectively, recorded on ourconsolidated balance sheets in connection with certain of our in-process and future development projects. The accrued environmental remediation liabilities represent the remaining costs we estimate we will incur prior to and during the development process at various development acquisition sites. These estimates, which we developed with the assistance of third-party experts, consist primarily of the removal of contaminated soil, treatment of contaminated groundwater in connection with dewatering efforts, performing environmental closure activities, constructing remedial systems, and other related costs that are necessary when we develop new buildings at these sites.
We record estimated environmental remediation obligations for acquired properties at the acquisition date when we are aware of such costs and when such costs are probable of being incurred and can be reasonably estimated. Estimated costs related to development environmental remediation liabilities are recorded as an increase to the cost of the development project. Actual costs are recorded as a decrease to the liability when incurred. These accruals are adjusted as an increase or decrease to the development project costs and as an increase or decrease to the accrued environmental remediation liability if we obtain further information or circumstances change. The environmental remediation obligations recorded at December 31, 2023 and 2022 were not discounted to their present values since the amount and timing of cash payments are not fixed. It is possible that we could incur additional environmental remediation costs in connection with these development projects. However, potential additional environmental costs for these development projects cannot be reasonably estimated at this time and certain changes in estimates could occur as the site conditions, final project timing, design elements, actual soil conditions and other aspects of the projects, which may depend upon municipal and other approvals beyond the control of the Company, are determined.
Other than the accrued environmental liabilities discussed above, we are not aware of any unasserted claims and assessments with respect to an environmental liability that we believe would require additional disclosure or the recording of an additional loss contingency.
Litigation
We and our properties are subject to litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. To our knowledge, neither we nor any of our properties are presently subject to any litigation or threat of litigation which, if determined unfavorably to us, would have a material adverse effect on our cash flows, financial condition, or results of operations.
Insurance
We maintain commercial general liability, auto liability, employers’ liability, umbrella/excess liability, special form property, difference in conditions including earthquake and flood, environmental, rental loss, and terrorism insurance covering all of our properties. Management believes the policy specifications and insured limits are reasonable given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage, and industry practice. We do not carry insurance for generally uninsurable losses such as loss from governmental action, nuclear hazard, and war and military action. Policies are subject to various terms, conditions, and exclusions and some policies may involve large deductibles or co-payments.
