Current report

Below is a summary of our same-store composition for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2024, when compared to the designations for the year ended December 31, 2023, Timber Springs is classified as a same-store property for the year ended December 31, 2024, because the property was acquired on March 8, 2022. The 710 building within the Lloyd Portfolio is classified as a same-store property when compared to the designation for the year ended December 31, 2023, because the property has been in operation for a full year since it was placed in service in November 2022. One Beach Street continues to be identified as a same-store redevelopment property due to significant redevelopment activity. Additionally, this property was placed into operations on August 1, 2024, approximately one year after completing renovations.

Current report

Total office rental revenue decreased $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to a decrease of $1.8 million in cost recoveries due to changes in tenant base years, a decrease in recoverable property expenses, prior year tax refunds received that were refunded to tenants, and a decrease in rental revenue driven primarily by tenant move-outs at Lloyd Portfolio and Timber Springs and lower occupancy at Solana Crossing.

Current report

Mixed-use rental revenue increased $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to an increase in rental revenue at the retail portion of our mixed-use property, largely attributable to an increase in cost recoveries and new tenant leases commencing at higher base rents. Additionally, there was a minimal increase in rental revenue at the Waikiki Beach Walk hotel portion of our mixed-use property, due to a slight increase in average occupancy to 85.9% for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to 85.2% for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Current report

Multifamily other property income increased $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to an increase in utilities meter income, partially offset by lower security deposits earned.

Current report

Total office rental expenses increased $2.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to an increase in facilities services, repairs and maintenance services, utilities expenses and insurance expenses.

Current report

Total office real estate taxes decreased $1.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to real estate tax refunds received at La Jolla Commons and First & Main, offset by higher tax consultant fees incurred in connection with obtaining these refunds.

Current report

Total office property operating income increased $7.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023 primarily due to an approximately $11.0 million lease termination fee received at Torrey Reserve Campus and lower real estate taxes due to tax refunds received at La Jolla Commons and First & Main. These increases were offset by a decrease in rental revenue driven by lower rental rates at Lloyd Portfolio and Timber Springs, lower occupancy at Solana Crossing, a decrease in cost recoveries, and an increase in rental expenses related to utilities expenses, insurance expenses and repairs and maintenance expenses.

Current report

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense increased $6.0 million, or 5%, to $125.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $119.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. This was due to the acceleration of assets related to a tenant vacating their space early at Torrey Reserve Campus. Additionally, the increase was also due to new building improvement assets with One Beach Street placed into operations as of August 1, 2024, and new tenant improvement assets placed into service at La Jolla Commons and Alamo Quarry Market.

Current report

(1)Term Loan B, Term Loan C and Series C Notes, totaling $325 million in the aggregate, were repaid in full without penalty or premium, subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2024.

Current report

The increase in cash provided in financing activities was primarily due to the proceeds received from the issuance of the 6.150% Senior Notes, partially offset by the repayment of the then-outstanding $100 million on our Revolver Loan and repayment in entirety of our Series B Notes on December 2, 2024. The $100 million draw on our Revolver Loan was used to repay the entirety of our Series F Notes upon their maturity on July 19, 2024.

Previous report

For the year ended December 31, 2022, when compared to the designations for the year ended December 31, 2021, Waikiki Beach Walk-Retail and Embassy Suites™ Hotel was reclassified to same-store due to significant spalling repair activity impacting the hotel portion of the property's operations, which was completed on September 30, 2020. Eastgate Office Park was classified as non-same-store, as it was acquired on July 7, 2021. Corporate Campus East III was classified as non-same-store, as it was acquired on September 10, 2021. Bel-Spring 520 was classified as non-same-store, as it was acquired on March 8, 2022. One Beach Street continues to be identified as a same-store redevelopment property due to significant construction activity.

Previous report

Since the onset of COVID-19 in 2020, we have provided lease concessions to certain tenants, primarily within the retail segment, in the form of rent deferrals and abatements in recognition of the adverse impact that COVID-19 had on such tenants, although the concessions provided during the year ended December 31, 2023 were immaterial to us. These lease concessions generally included an increase in our rights as a lessor. We assess each lease concession and determine whether it represents a lease modifications under Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases ("ASC 842").

Previous report

On July 7, 2021, we acquired Eastgate Office Park, consisting of an approximately 280,000 square feet, multi-tenant office campus in Bellevue, Washington. The purchase price was approximately $125 million, excluding closing costs of approximately $0.2 million.

Previous report

Total office rental revenue increased $4.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to an increase of $3.2 million in same-store office rental revenue due to higher annualized base rents at Torrey Reserve Campus, Solana Crossing and The Landmark at One Market. Additionally, rental revenue increased $0.8 million due to the acquisition of Bel-Spring 520. These increases were offset by lower occupancy at Eastgate Office Park and a decrease related to accelerated revenue recognition in 2022 of tenant improvement overages due to a tenant vacating its space earlier than the original lease expiration date.

Previous report

Mixed-use rental revenue increased $5.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to an increase of $4.7 million at the Waikiki Beach Walk hotel portion of our mixed-use property. This was due to an increase in average occupancy and revenue per available room to 85.2% and $318 for the year ended December 31, 2023, respectively, compared to 76.9% and $283 for the year ended December 31, 2022, respectively. Additionally, there was an increase of $0.4 million at the Waikiki Beach Walk retail portion of our mixed-use property due to new tenant leases signed and tenants previously on alternate rent reverting back to basic monthly rent.

Previous report

Multifamily other property income decreased $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to a decrease in meter income and late fees at Pacific Ridge Apartments, Loma Palisades and Hassalo on Eighth - Multifamily.

Previous report

Total office rental expenses increased $3.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to an increase of $3.1 million in same-store office rental expenses related to an increase in repairs and maintenance services, utilities expenses, facility services, insurance expenses and other operating expenses as our tenants' employees have started returning to the office in-person. Additionally, office rental expenses increased $0.3 million due to certain incomplete development costs written off and $0.2 million related to the acquisition of Bel-Spring 520.

Previous report

Total office real estate taxes increased $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to an increase in property value assessments at La Jolla Commons, Eastgate Office Park and Corporate Campus East III.

Previous report

Total office property operating income increased $0.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to higher annualized base rents at Torrey Reserve Campus, Solana Crossing and The Landmark at One Market. These increases were partially offset by higher operating expenses related to utilities expenses, repairs and facilities services and insurance expenses. Additionally, there was a decrease due to lower occupancy at Eastgate Office Park and a decrease related to accelerated revenue recognition in 2022 of tenant improvement overages due to a tenant vacating its space earlier than the original lease expiration date.

Previous report

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $3.8 million, or 3%, to $119.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $123.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. This was due to tenants vacating space during the year ended December 31, 2022 at City Center Bellevue, Eastgate Office Park, Corporate Campus East III and Hassalo on Eighth - Retail. This decrease was partially offset by new building and tenant improvements placed into service in 2023 at Torrey Reserve Campus, Bel-Spring 520, Lloyd Portfolio and First & Main.

Previous report

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $37.2 million to $65.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $102.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The decrease in cash used by financing activities was primarily due to the term loan agreement that was amended and restated, among other things, to increase the fully drawn borrowings from $150 million to $225 million. This was partially offset by the repayment of the outstanding balance on the revolving line of credit and payment of quarterly dividends.

Previous wording

We intend to opportunistically pursue projects in our development pipeline including future phases of La Jolla Commons and Lloyd Portfolio, as well as other redevelopments at Waikele Center. The commencement of these developments is based on, among other things, market conditions and our evaluation of whether such opportunities would generate appropriate risk adjusted financial returns. Our redevelopment and development opportunities are subject to various factors, including market conditions and may not ultimately come to fruition. We continue to review acquisition opportunities in our primary markets that would complement our portfolio and provide long-term growth opportunities. Some of our acquisitions do not initially contribute significantly to earnings growth; however, we believe they provide long-term re-leasing growth, redevelopment opportunities and other strategic opportunities. Any growth from acquisitions is contingent on our ability to find properties that meet our qualitative standards at prices that meet our financial hurdles. Changes in interest rates may affect our success in achieving earnings growth through acquisitions by affecting both the price that must be paid to acquire a property, as well as our ability to economically finance a property acquisition. Generally, our acquisitions are initially financed by available cash, mortgage loans and/or borrowings under our credit facility, which may be repaid later with funds raised through the issuance of new equity or new long-term debt.

For the year ended December 31, 2023, when compared to the designations for the year ended December 31, 2022, Eastgate Office Park and Corporate Campus East III were reclassified to same-store properties because these properties were acquired on July 7, 2021 and September 10, 2021, respectively.

Office Leases. Our office portfolio included twelve properties with a total of approximately 4.1 million rentable square feet available for lease as of December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, these properties were 86.0% leased. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the office segment contributed 47.1% of our total revenue. Historically, we have leased office properties to tenants primarily on a full service gross or a modified gross basis and to a limited extent on a triple-net lease basis. We expect to continue to do so in the future. A full-service gross or modified gross lease has a base year expense stop, whereby the tenant pays a stated amount of certain expenses as part of the rent payment, while future increases in property operating expenses (above the base year stop) are billed to the tenant based on such tenant's proportionate square footage of the property. The increased property operating expenses billed are reflected as operating expenses and amounts recovered from tenants are reflected as rental income in the statements of operations.

Previous wording

We make estimates of the collectability of our current accounts receivable and straight-line rents receivable which requires significant judgment by management. The collectability of receivables is affected by numerous different factors including current economic trends, including the continued impact of COVID-19 on tenant's businesses and changes in tenants' payment patterns, tenant bankruptcies, the status of collectability of current cash rents receivable, tenants' recent and historical financial and operating results, changes in our tenants' credit ratings, communications between our operating personnel and tenants, the extent of security deposits and letters of credits held with respect to tenants, and the ability of the tenant to perform under the terms of their lease agreement when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. If our assessment of these factors indicates it is probable that we will be unable to collect substantially all rents, we recognize a charge to rental income and limit our rental income to the lesser of lease income on a straight-line basis plus variable rents when they become accruable or cash collected. If we change our conclusion regarding the probability of collecting rent payments required by a lessee, we may recognize an adjustment to rental income in the period we make a change to our prior conclusion.

Interest costs on developments and major redevelopments are capitalized as part of developments and redevelopments not yet placed in service. Capitalization of interest commences when development activities and expenditures begin and end upon completion, which is when the asset is ready for its intended use as noted above. We make judgments as to the time period over which to capitalize such costs and these assumptions have a direct impact on net income because capitalized costs are not subtracted in calculating net income. If the time period for capitalizing interest is extended, more interest is capitalized, thereby decreasing interest expense and increasing net income during that period. We capitalized interest costs related to both development and redevelopment activities combined of $7.8 million and $5.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
