The Company’s owned studio properties were primarily located in Los Angeles and New York.68.7% of the square feet in the Company’s consolidated and unconsolidated portfolio is 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 technology and media and entertainment industries. As of December 31, 2024, approximately 21.1% and 17.6% of consolidated and unconsolidated rentable square feet, excluding our under construction and future development pipeline, were related to the tenants in the technology and media and entertainment industries, respectively.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s 15 largest tenants represented approximately 26.9% of consolidated and unconsolidated rentable square feet. No single tenant accounted for more than 10%.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, no single tenant accounted for more than 10% of the Company’s revenue for the office segment, and Netflix, Inc. represented 19.3% of the Company’s revenue for the studio segment.

  1. 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 references to the number of properties, acres 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”).

Principles of Consolidation

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

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

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

the characteristics of a controlling financial interest;

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

the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights.

The entity that consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has determined that its operating partnership and 20 joint ventures met the definition of a VIE.14 of these joint ventures are consolidated andsix are unconsolidated.

Consolidated Joint Ventures

In the first quarter of 2024, the Company purchased a 45% ownership interest in Hudson 1455 Market, L.P., a consolidated joint venture, from its joint venture partner for $43.5 million, before certain credits, prorations and closing costs. Following the transaction, the Company owns 100% of the ownership interests in Hudson 1455 Market, L.P.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company completed its development of Sunset Glenoaks Studios and the property commenced operations. The Company updated its VIE assessment of Sun Valley Peoria, LLC, the owner of Sunset Glenoaks Studios, and concluded that it is the VIE’s primary beneficiary. Therefore, as of the second quarter, this investment is no longer accounted for under the equity method and is now treated as a consolidated joint venture. Initial consolidation of Sun Valley Peoria, LLC was accounted for in accordance with provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations. As a result, the Company recognized on its Consolidated Balance Sheet identifiable assets of $198.0 million, assumed liabilities of $86.6 million and noncontrolling interest of $55.6 million. No gain or loss was recognized upon initial consolidation as the fair value of the newly consolidated net assets approximated the carrying value of the previous equity method investment.

As of December 31, 2024, the operating partnership has determined that 14 of its joint ventures met the definition of a VIE and are consolidated:

  3. Hudson Media and Entertainment Management, LLC manages the following properties: Sunset Gower Studios, Sunset Bronson Studios, Sunset Las Palmas Studios, 6040 Sunset, ICON, CUE, EPIC and Harlow (collectively “Hollywood Media Portfolio”), as well as Sunset Glenoaks Studios.

  4. Sun Valley Services, LLC is the TRS related to Sunset Glenoaks studios.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has determined that its operating partnership met the definition of a VIE and is consolidated.

Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are related to the operating partnership VIE. The assets and credit of certain VIEs can only be used to satisfy those VIEs’ own contractual obligations, and the VIEs’ creditors have no recourse to the general credit of the Company.

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary ofsix of its joint ventures that are VIEs. Due to its significant influence over the unconsolidated entities, the Company accounts for them using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company initially records the investment at cost and subsequently adjusts for equity in earnings or losses and cash contributions and distributions.

On August 28, 2023, the Company entered into a joint venture with subsidiaries of Blackstone Property Partners and Vornado Realty Trust to develop Sunset Pier 94 Studios in the borough of Manhattan in New York, New York. The Company owns approximately 26% of the ownership interests in the joint venture.

The Company’s net equity investment in its unconsolidated joint ventures is reflected within investment in unconsolidated real estate entities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s share of net income or loss from the joint ventures is included within (loss) income from unconsolidated real estate entities on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company uses the cumulative earnings approach for determining cash flow presentation of distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures. Under this approach, distributions up to the amount of cumulative equity in earnings recognized are classified as cash inflows from operating activities, and those in excess of that amount are classified as cash inflows from investing activities. Refer to Note 6 for further details regarding our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.

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 and assessing the carrying values of its real estate properties assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combination transactions, the fair values of its goodwill and intangible assets, determining the incremental borrowing rate used in the present value calculations of its new or modified operating lessee agreements, its accrued liabilities, and the valuation of 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.

Acquisitions

The Company evaluates each acquisition to determine if the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meets the definition of a business and needs to be accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805. 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).

Acquisitions of real estate will generally not meet the 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 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 were vacant. The fair values 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 below-market 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 commissions, legal and other leasing-related costs. The fair value of debt assumed is based on the estimated cash flow projections utilizing interest rates available for the issuance of debt with similar terms and remaining maturities.

Business Combinations

From time to time, we may enter into business combinations. In accordance with ASC 805, the Company applies the acquisition method for acquisitions that meet the definition of a business combination. Under the acquisition method, the Company estimates the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired entity on the acquisition date. Acquired intangible assets are valued using different methods under the income approach, including the excess earnings method for customer relationships, the relief-from-royalty method for trade names, and the lost profits method for non-compete agreements. The fair values of acquired “above- and below-” market leases are estimated 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 below-market term for any leases with below-market renewal options. Acquired property, plant and equipment is valued using the cost approach, including consideration of reproduction or replacement costs, economic depreciation and obsolescence. We measure goodwill as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is assigned to each reporting unit that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Acquisition-related expenses and transaction costs associated with business combinations are expensed in the period incurred which is included in the transaction-related expenses line item of the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The acquisition method of accounting requires us to make significant estimates and assumptions regarding the fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the acquired entity on the acquisition date. The Company estimates the fair value using observable inputs classified as Level 2 and unobservable inputs classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Significant estimates and assumptions include subjective and/or complex judgments regarding items such as revenue growth rates, long-term growth rates, discount rates, customer retention rates, royalty rates, market rental rates and other factors, including estimating future cash flows that we expect to generate from the acquired assets.

The acquisition method of accounting also requires us to refine these estimates over a measurement period not to exceed one year to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. If we are required to adjust provisional amounts that we have recorded for the fair values of assets and liabilities in connection with acquisitions, these adjustments could have a material impact on our financial condition and results of operations. If the subsequent actual results and updated projections of the underlying business activity change compared with the assumptions and projections used to develop these values, we could record future impairment charges.

Investment in Real Estate Properties

Cost Capitalization

The Company capitalizes costs associated with development and redevelopment activities, capital improvements, tenant improvements and leasing activity. Costs associated with development and redevelopment that are capitalized include 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 thanone 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 associated with development and redevelopment activities:

Year Ended December 31,
202420232022
Capitalized personnel costs$13,692$16,496$18,098
Capitalized interest$40,367$32,253$18,031

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 DescriptionEstimated Useful Life (Years)
Building and improvementsShorter of the ground lease term or 39
Land improvements15
Furniture and fixtures5 to 7
Tenant and leasehold improvementsShorter of the estimated useful life or the lease term

The Company amortizes above- and below-market lease intangibles over the remaining non-cancellable lease terms and bargain renewal periods, if applicable. The in-place lease intangibles are amortized over the remaining non-cancellable lease term. When tenants vacate prior to the expiration of a lease, the amortization of intangible assets and liabilities is accelerated. The Company amortizes above- and below-market ground lease intangibles over the remaining non-cancellable lease terms.

The Company classifies properties as held for sale when certain criteria set forth in ASC 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 on the Consolidated Balance Sheets for all 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. The estimated fair value is generally based on a purchase and sale agreement, letter of intent, or a broker estimated value of the property. The Company will recognize an impairment loss on real estate assets held for sale when the carrying value is greater than the fair value, which is based on the estimated sales price of the property, which is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company assesses the carrying value of real estate assets and related intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable in accordance with GAAP. Impairment losses are recorded on real estate assets held for investment when indicators of impairment are present and the future undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. The Company recognizes impairment losses to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, based Level 2 inputs.

According to ASC 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. There were no discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

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 over the life of the asset or its intended holding period. We evaluate our real estate assets for impairment on a property-by-property basis. Indicators we consider to determine whether an impairment evaluation is necessary include, but are not limited to, deterioration in operating cash flows, low occupancy levels, significant near-term lease expirations, default or bankruptcy by a significant tenant and expectations that, more likely than not, a property will be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of its previously estimated useful life or hold period.

If impairment indicators are present for a specific real estate asset, we perform a recoverability test by comparing the carrying value of the asset group to the asset group’s estimated undiscounted future cash flows over the anticipated hold period. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows, we then compare the carrying value to the asset group’s estimated fair value and recognize an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the fair value. The future cash flows utilized in the evaluation of recoverability and the measurement of fair value are highly subjective and are based on assumptions regarding anticipated hold periods, future occupancy, future rental rates, future capital requirements, discount rates and capitalization rates, which are considered Level 2 and Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. Given the level of sensitivity in the inputs, a change in the value of any one input, in isolation or in combination, could significantly affect the overall estimation of the undiscounted future cash flows and fair value of an asset group.

Goodwill and Acquired Intangible Assets

Goodwill is an unidentifiable intangible asset and is recognized as a residual, generally measured as the excess of consideration transferred in a business combination over the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is assigned to reporting units that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination.

The Company tests its goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment at least annually on December 31st, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit to which it is assigned, which can be an operating segment or one level below an operating segment. The Company hasthree operating segments: the management entity, Office and Studio. The Studio operating segment consists oftwo reporting units: Sunset Studios and Quixote. The Quixote reporting unit consists of the Zio Entertainment Network, LLC (“Zio”) and Star Waggons, LLC (“Star Waggons”) businesses acquired in 2021 and the Quixote Studios, LLC (“Quixote”) business acquired in 2022, which have since been integrated as a single business. The assessment of goodwill for impairment may initially be performed based on qualitative factors to determine if it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, including goodwill. If so, a quantitative assessment is performed, and to the extent the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, impairment is recognized for the excess up to the amount of goodwill assigned to the reporting unit. Alternatively, the Company may bypass a qualitative assessment and proceed directly to a quantitative assessment.

A qualitative assessment considers various factors such as macroeconomic, industry and market conditions to the extent they affect the earnings performance of the reporting unit, changes in business strategy and/or management of the reporting unit, changes in composition or mix of revenues and/or cost structure of the reporting unit, financial performance and business prospects of the reporting unit, among other factors.

In a quantitative assessment, significant judgment, assumptions and estimates are applied in determining the fair value of reporting units. The Company generally uses the income approach to estimate fair value by discounting the projected net cash flows of the reporting unit, and may corroborate with market-based data where available and appropriate. Projection of future cash flows is based upon various factors, including, but not limited to, our strategic plans in regard to our business and operations, internal forecasts, terminal year residual revenue multiples, operating profit margins, pricing of similar businesses and comparable transactions where applicable, and risk-adjusted discount rates to present value future cash flows. Given the level of sensitivity in the inputs, a change in the value of any one input, in isolation or in combination, could significantly affect the overall estimation of fair value of the reporting unit.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method, which reflects the pattern in which the assets are consumed. The estimated useful lives for acquired intangible assets range from five toseven years. The Company assesses its intangible assets with finite lives for impairment when indicators of impairment are identified.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

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. Restricted cash primarily consists of amounts held by lenders to fund reserves such as capital improvements, taxes, insurance, debt service and operating expenditures.

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.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at the beginning and end of the periods presented:

TOTAL$99,177$119,156$285,731

Receivables

The Company accounts for receivables related to rental revenues according to ASC 842, Leases. The guidance requires the Company to assess, at lease commencement and subsequently, collectability of future lease payments from its tenants. If the Company determines collectability is not probable, it recognizes an adjustment to lower income from rentals. For amounts deemed probable of collection, the Company may also record an allowance under other authoritative GAAP based on the evaluation of individual receivables, including specific credit enhancements and other relevant factors.

Lease Accounting

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

For lessors, the guidance provides for a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to elect a combined single lease component presentation if (i) the timing and pattern of the transfer of the combined single lease component is the same, and (ii) the related lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. The practical expedient was elected only for the Company’s leases related to the office properties. For the Company’s studio properties, the timing and pattern of the transfer of the lease components and non-lease components for studio properties are not the same and therefore the Company did not elect this practical expedient for the Company’s studio properties. The standalone selling price related to the studio non-lease components is readily available and does not require estimates.

Lessee Accounting

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company’s operating lease agreements relate to ground leases, sound stage leases, office leases and other facility leases and are reflected in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, the Company makes an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset, not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities. The Company recognizes lease expense for such leases generally on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Many of the Company’s lease agreements include options to extend the lease, which the Company does not include in its minimum lease terms unless the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. Rental expense for lease payments related to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The weighted average remaining lease term was 21 years as of December 31, 2024.

Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. ROU assets further include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. ROU assets acquired in connection with business combination transactions are also adjusted for above- and below- market lease terms.

As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company calculates the present value of lease payments using its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date, or the date of the ASC 842 adoption. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate used to calculate the ROU assets and lease liabilities was 5.7% as of December 31, 2024.

Lessor Accounting

The presentation of revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Operations reflects a single lease component that combines rental, tenant recoveries and other tenant-related revenues for the office portfolio, with the election of the lessor practical expedient. For the Company’s rentals at the studio properties, total lease consideration is allocated to lease and non-lease components on a relative standalone basis. The recognition of revenues related to lease components is governed by ASC 842, while revenue related to non-lease components is subject to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).

ASC 842 defines initial direct costs as only the incremental costs of signing a lease. Internal direct compensation costs and external legal fees related to the execution of successful lease agreements that do not meet the definition of initial direct costs under ASC 842 are accounted for as office operating expense or studio operating expense in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Revenue Recognition

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

Revenue StreamComponentsFinancial Statement Location
Rental revenuesOffice, stage and storage rentalsOffice and Studio segments: rental

Management fee incomeIncome derived from management services provided to unconsolidated joint venture entitiesFee income
Management services reimbursement incomeReimbursement of costs incurred by the Company in the management of unconsolidated joint venture entitiesManagement services reimbursement income—unconsolidated real estate entities

The Company recognizes rental revenue from tenants on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is probable and the tenant has taken possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. 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.

The Company does not account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic as lease modifications to the extent that the concessions are granted as payment deferrals and total payments remain substantially the same during the lease term.

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

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

Ancillary revenues, other revenues, management fee income and management services reimbursement income are accounted for under ASC 606. These revenues have single performance obligations and are recognized at the point in time when services are rendered.

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

Year Ended December 31,
202420232022
Ancillary revenues$91,193$76,099$107,075

Management fee income$5,269$6,181$7,972
Management services reimbursement income$4,119$4,125$4,163

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

Ancillary revenues$4,834$5,478
Other revenues$1,107$954

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

Deferred Financing Costs and Debt Discount/Premium

Deferred financing costs are amortized over the contractual loan term 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 on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All other deferred financing costs and related amortization are included within the respective debt line items on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Debt discounts and premiums are amortized over the contractual loan term into interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The amortization of discounts is recorded as additional interest expense and the accretion of premiums is recorded as a reduction to interest expense.

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 are adjusted to fair value at the balance sheet date. The change in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The change in the fair value derivatives not designated as hedges is recorded within earnings immediately.

Income Taxes

In general, the Company’s property-owning subsidiaries are limited liability companies and are treated as pass-through entities or disregarded entities (or, in the case of the entities that own the 1455 Market, Hill7, Ferry Building and 1918 Eighth 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. In the case of the Bentall Centre property and the Sunset Waltham Cross Studios development, the Company owns its interest in the properties through non-U.S. entities treated as TRSs for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a provision for foreign income taxes has been recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements based on the local tax laws and regulations of the respective tax jurisdictions.

The Company 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 REIT 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, the Company is generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders. If the Company were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and were unable to avail itself of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of its taxable income would be subject to federal corporate income tax. Unless entitled to relief under specific statutory provisions, the Company 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 the Company 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.

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 certain of its subsidiaries, to treat each such subsidiary as a 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 is subject to the statutory requirements of the states in which it conducts business.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the net tax effect of temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. A valuation allowance is recognized when it is determined that it is more likely than not that a deferred tax asset will not be realized.

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, 2024, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

The Company and certain of its TRSs file income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company and its TRSs are no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2019. The Company has assessed its tax positions for all open years, which as of December 31, 2024 included 2020 to 2022 for federal purposes and 2019 to 2022 for state purposes, and concluded that there are no material uncertainties to be recognized.

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 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation. The Company accounts for forfeitures of awards as they occur. Share-based payments granted to non-employees are accounted for in the same manner as share-based payments granted to employees.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

The Company measures certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis while certain financial instruments and balances are measured 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. 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. 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.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which is intended to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant expenses.

Non-Real Estate Investments

The Company measures its investments in funds that do not have a readily determinable fair value using the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) practical expedient and uses NAV reported without adjustment unless it is aware of information indicating the NAV reported does not accurately reflect the fair value of the investment. Changes in the fair value of these non-real estate investments are included in unrealized loss on non-real estate investments on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company recognized a net unrealized loss of $4.0 million, a net unrealized loss of $3.0 million and a net unrealized gain of $0.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, due to the observable changes in fair value. Over the life of the investments, the Company has recognized a net unrealized gain of $6.8 million due to the observable changes in fair value.

Stock Purchase Warrants

The Company holds investments in stock purchase warrants that give the Company rights to purchase a fixed number of shares of common stock of a non-real estate investee.

Unsecured Debt

Credit Facility

The operating partnership continues to be the borrower under its credit facility agreement, and the Company and all subsidiaries that own unencumbered properties will continue to provide guarantees unless the Company obtains and maintains a credit rating of at least BBB- from Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Baa3 from Moody’s, in which case such guarantees are not required except under limited circumstances.

  1. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

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

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

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

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

The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis include the following as of:

December 31, 2024December 31, 2023
Level 1Level 2Level 3TotalLevel 1Level 2Level 3Total

  1. Included in prepaid expenses and other assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

  2. Included in accounts payable, accrued liabilities and other on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

  3. According to the relevant accounting standards, certain investments that are measured at fair value using the NAV practical expedient have not been classified in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in the table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Level 2 items include interest rate caps and swaps, which are valued on a quarterly basis using a linear regression model.

Level 3 items include the earnout liability, which was valued on a quarterly basis using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. Inputs to the model include the discount rate and probability-weighted earnout payments based on a Monte Carlo simulation with one million trials. Fair value measurement using unobservable inputs is inherently uncertain, and a change in significant inputs could result in different fair values.

The following table summarizes changes in the carrying amount of the earnout liability during the year ended December 31, 2024:

Balance, December 31, 2023$(5,000)
Settlement5,000
Balance, December 31, 2024$—

Other Financial Instruments

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

The table below represents the carrying value and fair value of the Company’s investment in securities and debt as of:

  1. Amounts represent debt excluding unamortized deferred financing costs and loan discounts/premiums.

  2. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s 2010 Incentive Plan permits the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) to grant, among other things, restricted stock, restricted stock units, operating partnership performance units and performance-based awards. As of December 31, 2024,2.2 million 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 operating partnership performance units, and unvested RSUs, assuming the maximum bonus pool eligible ultimately is earned and based on a stock price of $3.03.

The Board awards restricted shares to non-employee Board members on an annual basis as part of such Board members’ annual compensation and to newly elected non-employee Board members in accordance with the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. The time-based awards are generally issued in the second quarter, in conjunction with the director’s election to the Board and the individual share awards vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which isthree years. Additionally, certain non-employee Board members elect to receive operating partnership performance units in lieu of their annual cash retainer fees. These awards are generally issued in the first quarter of the year subsequent to the year in which they were earned and are fully-vested upon their issuance.

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

For the years 2022 and 2023, the compensation committee of the Board (“Compensation Committee”) adopted an annual Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Performance Stock Unit Plan (“PSU Plan”). Under the PSU Plan, the Compensation Committee awards restricted stock units or performance units in the operating partnership to certain employees. The 2022 PSU Plan grants consist oftwo portions. A portion of each award, the Relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) Performance Unit, is eligible to vest based on the achievement of the Company’s TSR compared to the TSR of the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs index over athree-year performance period, with the vesting percentage subject to certain percentage targets. The remaining portion of each award, the Operational Performance Unit, becomes eligible to vest based on the achievement of operational performance metrics over aone-year performance period and vests over three years. The number of Operational Performance Units that becomes eligible to vest based on the achievement of operational performance metrics may be adjusted based on the Company’s achievement of absolute TSR goals over athree-year performance period by applying the applicable vesting percentages. The 2023 PSU Plan grants contain only an Operational Performance Unit, which is eligible to vest based on the achievement of operational metrics over aone-year performance period and vests over three years. The number of Operational Performance Units that becomes eligible to vest based on the achievement of operational performance metrics may be adjusted based on the Company’s achievement of the Company’s TSR compared to the TSR of the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs index over athree-year performance period. Certain of the awards granted under the PSU Plan are subject to atwo-year post-vesting restriction period, during which any awards earned may not be sold or transferred.

For 2024, the Compensation Committee adopted an annual equity award program for its top three executive officers consisting of a grant of time-based operating partnership performance units and a grant of market-based operating partnership performance units. The time-based awards vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which isfive years. The market-based awards vest upon the satisfaction of both performance and service-based requirements. The quantity earned is based on the achievement of stock price performance hurdles over thefive-year performance period commencing on the second anniversary of the grant date. The earned awards will satisfy the service-based requirement in increments of 60%,20% and 20% on the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of the grant date, respectively. The awards are also subject to atwo-year post-vesting restriction period, during which any awards earned may not be sold or transferred.

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 any hold restrictions 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.

The stock-based compensation cost of the 2024 market-based awards and the 2023 and 2022 PSU Plans was 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 the 2024 market-based awards and the 2023 and 2022 PSU awards granted was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions in the Monte Carlo simulation:

  1. Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates basic earnings per share using the two-class method by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Unvested time-based restricted stock awards, unvested time-based performance unit awards and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The Company calculates diluted earnings per share using the two-class method or the treasury stock and if-converted method, whichever results in more dilution. For the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, both methods of calculation yielded the same diluted earnings per share amount. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into common stock, where such exercise or conversion would result in a lower earnings per share amount.

The following table reconciles the numerator and denominator in computing the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share to net loss available to common stockholders:

Non-controlling Interests

Common Units in the Operating Partnership

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

Performance Units in the Operating Partnership

Performance units are partnership interests in the operating partnership. Each performance unit awarded will be deemed equivalent to an award of one share of common stock under the 2010 Plan, reducing the availability for other equity awards on aone-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 aone-for-one basis.

Ownership Interest in the Operating Partnership

The following table summarizes the ownership interest in the operating partnership, excluding unvested restricted units and unvested restricted performance units, as of:

Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock

Series C cumulative redeemable preferred stock relates to the 17,000,000 shares of our Series C preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. Holders of Series C preferred stock, when and as authorized by the board of directors of the Company, are entitled to cumulative cash dividends at the rate of 4.750% per annum of the $25.00 per share, equivalent to $1.1875 per annum per share. Dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on or about the last day of December, March, June and September of each year. In addition to other preferential rights, the holders of Series C preferred stock are entitled to receive the liquidation preference, which is $25.00 per share, before the holders of common stock in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the Company’s affairs. Generally, shares of Series C preferred stock are not redeemable by the Company prior to November 16, 2026. However, upon the occurrence of a change of control, holders of the Series C preferred stock will have the right, (unless the Company has elected to redeem the Series C preferred stock) to convert into a specified number of shares of common stock. A complete description of the Series C preferred stock is contained in the Articles Supplementary which is included as Exhibit 3.7 to this Current Report on Form 10-K.

Dividends

The Board has historically declared dividends on a quarterly basis and the Company has paid the dividends during the quarters in which the dividends were declared. Declaration of any future dividends will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors after considering the Company’s obligations under its various financing agreements, projected taxable income, compliance with its debt covenants, long-term operating projections, expected capital requirements and the risks affecting the Company’s business. The following table summarizes dividends per share declared and paid for the periods presented:

For the Year Ended December 31,

  1. The Company suspended its quarterly common stock dividend during the third and fourth quarters of 2023 and the third and fourth quarters of 2024. As a result, the common unit and performance unit dividends were also suspended.

  2. Performance-based units are entitled to dividends equal to the common stock dividends declared by the Company. During their vesting period, unvested performance-based units receive 10% of the declared dividend, with the remainder payable as soon as practicable after the vesting date.

  3. Dividends paid during the year ended December 31, 2022 include a $0.2968750 per share dividend declared and paid in each of the first, second, third and fourth quarters of 2022 and a $0.1484375 per share dividend declared during the fourth quarter of 2021.

Taxability of Dividends

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

  2. Segment Reporting

The Company’s reporting segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting, which classifies its operations intotwo reportable segments: (i) office properties and related operations and (ii) studio properties and related operations. The Company evaluates performance based upon net operating income of the segment operations. General and administrative expenses and interest expense are not included in segment profit as the Company’s internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level.

The President, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer are the Company’s CODM. They evaluate performance and allocate resources based on net operating income because it provides relevant and useful information by reflecting only income and operating expense items that are incurred at the segment level and presenting it on an unlevered basis.

Asset information by segment is not reported because the Company does not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources; therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments. Segment assets consist of investment in real estate, non-real estate property, plant and equipment, net, accounts receivable, net, straight-line rents receivables, net, deferred leasing costs and intangible assets, net, operating lease right-of-use assets and goodwill. Non-segment assets consist of assets in the Company’s corporate non-segment assets, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, prepaid expenses and other assets, net, investment in unconsolidated real estate entities and assets associated with real estate held for sale. Reportable segment asset information is not provided to the CODM as the CODM do not use segment asset information to evaluate the business and allocate resources.
