ITEM 8.01. Other Events.

The following discussion provides information with respect to certain recent developments of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the “Company”). Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, “we,” “us” and “our” refer collectively to the Company, Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Maryland limited partnership of which the Company serves as the sole general partner, and the Company’s other subsidiaries.

We employ a conservative approach to development and redevelopment. Development and redevelopment projects have only represented approximately 18.0% of our capital allocation since our initial public offering in 2010 and estimated project costs as a percentage of our Company’s share of market capitalization have averaged approximately 8.0% over the preceding eight quarters. Estimated project costs are based on management estimates and exclude capitalized interest, personnel costs and operating expenses. Gross assets represents the sum of total assets calculated in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, plus accumulated depreciation and amortization.

We also have a diverse concentration of tenants. The table below presents our top fifteen office tenants as of September 30, 2021.

TOTAL		5,371,719		4,197,154		33.1	%	$	222,924,953		39.3	%

(1) Company’s Share is calculated as the total amounts on a consolidated basis, in accordance with GAAP (where applicable), plus our company’s share of the amount from our company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon our company’s percentage ownership interest), minus our company’s partners’ share of the amount from our company’s consolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the partners’ percentage ownership interests). Because we own some of our properties through significant joint ventures, we believe that presenting Company’s Share of certain measures provides investors with useful information regarding our financial condition and/or results of operations by accounting for our true economic interest in these joint ventures. In some cases, we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, the joint venture, in which case, GAAP requires us to account for the joint venture entity using the equity method of accounting, and we do not consolidate it for financial reporting purposes. In other cases, GAAP requires us to consolidate the joint venture even though our partner(s) owns a significant percentage interest.

(2) Presented in order of Company’s Share of annualized base rent.

(3) Annualized base rent is calculated by multiplying (i) base rental payments (defined as cash base rents (before abatements or deferments)) under commenced leases as of September 30, 2021, by (ii) 12. Annualized base rent does not reflect tenant reimbursements.

The table below presents our office portfolio tenant industry diversification as of September 30, 2021

(4) Annualized base rent is calculated by multiplying (i) base rental payments (defined as cash base rents (before abatements or deferments)) under commenced leases as of September 30, 2021, by (ii) 12. Annualized base rent does not reflect tenant reimbursements.

(5) Our diverse set of technology tenants largely consist of public and other well established companies. As a percentage of annualized base rent, the businesses of our technology tenants consist of online services (31%), software (28%), hardware & tech equipment (19%), business support services (12%) and other (10%). In addition, only 7% of annualized base rent of technology tenants as a percent of total annualized base rent of technology tenants are attributable to private companies in business for less than 10 years. Furthermore, only five tenants contribute more than 5% of annualized base rent of our technology tenants: Google, Nutanix, Qualcomm, Salesforce and Square, and over half of the annualized base rent of our technology tenants is comprised of tenants contributing less than 5% to the annualized base rent of our technology tenants.

(6) As a percentage of annualized base rent, the businesses of our media & entertainment tenants consist of production & service (62%), gaming (29%), advertising & marketing (7%) and other (2%).

FFO per common stock/unit—diluted		1.03			1.84
FFO (excluding specified items) per common stock/unit—diluted		1.08			1.91

We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the White Paper issued in December 2018 on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate, gains and losses from sale of certain real estate assets and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The calculation of FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. In the December 2018 White Paper, NAREIT provided an option to include value changes in mark-to-market equity securities in the calculation of FFO. We elected this option retroactively during fourth quarter 2018. We believe that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of our activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs.

Implicit in historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating

results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, we believe that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of our performance relative to our competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities than the required GAAP presentations alone would provide. We use FFO per share to calculate annual cash bonuses for certain employees.

However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance because it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations.

Recent Developments

We are currently in negotiations to refinance our revolving credit facility to, among other things, increase the capacity under such facility. Our current expectation is that any refinancing transaction would likely close during the fourth quarter of 2021, although we cannot provide assurance that any refinancing transaction will occur on that timeline, or at all.
