Current report
West coast office fundamentals continue to strengthen, with our quarterly gross leasing achieving post-pandemic records, sublease availability improving and limited new supply, which is supported by further return-to-office momentum and billions of dollars of investment in artificial intelligence. Our studio business has experienced growing interest from new quality productions seeking multi-stage, multi-year leases. This demand could be expected to grow should the proposed California film and television tax credit increases be approved.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of $1.9 million related to the early repayment of the loan secured by our Element LA property. No gain or loss on extinguishment of debt was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Previous report
We recorded an income tax provision of $2.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a benefit of $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Previous report
We recorded a $6.4 million loss from unconsolidated real estate entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to a loss of $2.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The change was primarily driven by higher interest expense at the unconsolidated entities due to an increase in the average reference rates for variable rate debt and a mark-to-market adjustment for an interest rate swap that does not qualify for hedge accounting.

Interest expense

Gross interest expense decreased by $8.2 million, or 4.9%, to $157.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $165.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily driven by a repayment of the One Westside and Westside Two construction loan in December 2023, the Quixote seller note in April 2023 and the Series E notes in September 2023, as well as a decrease in the average outstanding borrowings on the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility. The decrease was partially offset by interest on the loan secured by Sunset Glenoaks Studios, which became a consolidated property as of April 1, 2024.

Capitalized interest increased by $7.1 million, or 31.3%, to $29.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $22.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

The decrease in non-cash interest expense was primarily due to the amortization of mark-to-market gains related to the interest rate cap on our Hollywood Media Portfolio loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The cap expired in August 2023 and was accounted for under the mark-to-market approach until it was designated as a cash flow hedge in December 2022. Additionally, there was a decrease in deferred financing cost amortization due to the deferred financing costs related to the Hollywood Media Portfolio debt and the One Westside and Westside Two construction loan being fully amortized as of August 2023 and December 2023, respectively.

Previous wording
We evaluate performance based upon property net operating income (“NOI”). NOI is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities or cash flows as measured by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, as an indication of our performance, or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, or our ability to make distributions. All companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be a useful performance measure to investors and management because when compared across periods, NOI reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating our properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We calculate NOI as net income excluding corporate general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairments, gains/losses on sales of real estate, interest expense, interest income, transaction-related expenses and other non-operating items. We define NOI as operating revenues (including rental revenues, other property-related revenue, tenant recoveries and other operating revenues), less property-level operating expenses (which includes external management fees, if any, and property-level general and administrative expenses). NOI on a cash basis is NOI adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments required by GAAP. We believe that NOI on a cash basis is helpful to investors as an additional measure of operating performance because it eliminates straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments to revenue and expenses.

Current wording
We recorded a $1.3 million loss from unconsolidated real estate entities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a loss of $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Non-cash interest expense decreased by $2.5 million, or 55.7%, to $2.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $4.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in non-cash interest expense was primarily due to the amortization of mark-to-market gains related to the interest rate cap on our Hollywood Media Portfolio loan during the three months ended September 30, 2023. The cap expired in August 2023 and was accounted for under the mark-to-market approach until it was designated as a cash flow hedge in December 2022.

Our ability to incur additional debt will be dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase. In addition, our ability to incur additional debt may be affected by our senior unsecured debt ratings as provided by the major credit rating agencies in the United States. Certain of the major U.S. credit rating agencies have previously downgraded our senior unsecured debt rating to non-investment grade. These and any further ratings downgrades could adversely impact our ability to access debt markets in the future and increase the cost of future debt. As of September 30, 2024, the credit ratings for our senior unsecured debt were Ba3, BB- and BB- from Moody’s, Standard and Poor’s and Fitch, respectively.
