Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the Company) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive loss, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, and the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework), and our report dated February 27, 2026 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

| Impairment of investment in real estate | |
| Description of the Matter | The Company’s investment in real estate, net totaled $5.8 billion as of December 31, 2025. As discussed in Notes 2 and 4 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company assesses for impairment on a real estate asset by real estate asset basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of a real estate asset may not be recoverable. Impairment is recognized on real estate assets held for investment when indicators of impairment are present and the future undiscounted cash flows for a real estate asset are less than its carrying amount, at which time the real estate asset is written down to its estimated fair value. The Company recognized impairment charges for investment in real estate of $18 million during the year ended December 31, 2025.For real estate assets identified as having an indicator of impairment, auditing the Company’s test for recoverability and measurement of impairment was challenging because of the subjective auditor judgment necessary in evaluating the reasonableness of management’s selected assumptions used in estimating future cash flows and the fair value of the real estate asset. Significant assumptions used in the recoverability test and measurement of impairment include capitalization rate, future rental rate and discount rate. |
|---|
| How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s real estate asset impairment assessment process. For example, we tested controls over management’s process for review of the estimated future cash flows, selection of significant assumptions, and estimation of the fair value of the real estate assets.Our testing of the Company’s impairment assessment included involving our valuation specialists in evaluating the reasonableness of management’s selected values for significant assumptions in the Company’s test for recoverability and measurement of impairment, if applicable, by utilizing independently identified external market sources. We also searched for contrary or corroborating evidence within other sources of the Company’s data as it relates to the underlying assumptions. |

| Goodwill and intangible assets related to the Quixote reporting unit | |
| Description of the Matter | As discussed in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company had goodwill associated with its Quixote reporting unit. The Company tests goodwill for impairment annually or between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would indicate that the carrying amount may be impaired. Additionally, as discussed in Notes 2 and 7, the Company reviews intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset group may not be recoverable. As of December 31, 2025, the Company concluded that there was an indication that goodwill and intangible assets were impaired. As a result, an impairment test was performed, and the Company recorded impairments of $148 million to goodwill and $81 million to intangible assets.Auditing the Company’s impairment assessment for goodwill and intangible assets was challenging and required an increased extent of audit effort because of the nature of the different methods, models and underlying assumptions applicable for each of the assets assessed for impairment, which affect the measurement of the impairment loss. Auditing the Company’s measurement of impairment involves subjective auditor judgment in evaluating the reasonableness of management’s selected assumptions, such as projected revenues which involve unobservable inputs. |
| How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit | We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over the Company’s impairment review process for goodwill and intangible assets, including controls over management’s assessment of the underlying assumptions used in the fair value measurement described above.Our audit procedures related to the Quixote reporting unit’s goodwill and intangible assets included the following, among other procedures. We assessed the reasonableness of management's forecasted cash flows by comparing the projections to historical results, external communications, and certain industry and market trends. With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation assumptions including the projected revenues and developed a range of independent estimates and compared those to the valuation assumptions selected by management. We tested the source information underlying the determination of the valuation assumptions as well as the mathematical accuracy of the calculation. We also searched for contrary or corroborating evidence within industry data and within other sources of the Company’s data as it relates to the underlying assumptions. |
