NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

As used in these notes to consolidated financial statements, tabular amounts are presented in thousands, except share amounts, percentage data and dates.

Note 1—Organization and Description of Business

Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc. (“Brookfield DTLA” or the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation and was incorporated on April 19, 2013. Brookfield DTLA was formed for the purpose of consummating the transactions contemplated in the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of April 24, 2013, as amended, and the issuance of shares of 7.625% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (the “Series A preferred stock”) in connection with the acquisition of MPG Office Trust, Inc. and MPG Office, L.P. (together, “MPG”). Brookfield DTLA is a direct subsidiary of Brookfield DTLA Holdings LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“DTLA Holdings”, and together with its affiliates excluding the Company and its subsidiaries, the “Manager”). DTLA Holdings is an indirect partially‑owned subsidiary of Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (“BPY”), an exempted limited partnership under the Laws of Bermuda, which in turn is the flagship commercial property entity wholly-owned by Brookfield Asset Management Inc. (“BAM”), a corporation under the Laws of Canada, and the primary vehicle through which BAM invests in real estate on a global basis.

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Brookfield DTLA owned Bank of America Plaza (“BOA Plaza”), EY Plaza, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Gas Company Tower and 777 Tower, which are Class A office properties, and FIGat7th, a retail center nestled between EY Plaza and 777 Tower. Additionally, Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties II LLC (“Fund II”) has a noncontrolling interest in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture with Brookfield DTLA FP IV Holdings LLC (“DTLA FP IV Holdings”), a wholly‑owned subsidiary of DTLA Holdings, which owns 755 South Figueroa, a residential development property. All of these properties are located in the Los Angeles Central Business District (the “LACBD”) in Downtown Los Angeles, which has long been a major office district for law firms, accounting firms and government agencies.

Brookfield DTLA primarily receives its income from lease income, including tenant reimbursements, generated from the operations of its office and retail properties, and to a lesser extent, revenue from its parking garages.

Note 2—Basis of Presentation

As used in these consolidated financial statements and related notes, unless the context requires otherwise, the terms “Brookfield DTLA,” the “Company,” “us,” “we” and “our” refer to Brookfield DTLA Fund Office Trust Investor Inc. together with its direct and indirect subsidiaries.

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements and related notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10‑Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of only those of a normal and recurring nature, considered necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and interim results of Brookfield DTLA as of and for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those that may be expected for a full fiscal year.

The consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 include the accounts of Brookfield DTLA and subsidiaries in which it has a controlling financial interest. All material intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

The accompanying notes to the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The unaudited consolidated financial information included herein should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included in Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 24, 2022.

Determination of Controlling Financial Interest

We consolidate entities in which Brookfield DTLA is considered to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or has a majority of the voting interest in the entity. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We do not consolidate entities in which the other parties have substantive kick-out rights to remove the Company’s power to direct the activities, and most significantly impacting the economic performance, of the VIE. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider factors such as ownership interest, management representation, authority to control decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of each party.

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties II LLC. The Company earns a return through an indirect investment in Fund II. DTLA Holdings, the parent of Brookfield DTLA, owns all of the common interest in Fund II. Brookfield DTLA has an indirect preferred stock interest in Fund II and its wholly-owned subsidiary is the managing member of Fund II. The Company determined that Fund II is a VIE. As a result of having the power to direct the significant activities of Fund II that impact Fund II’s economic performance, and the obligation to absorb losses of, or the right to receive benefits from, Fund II that could potentially be significant to the Fund II, Brookfield DTLA meets the two conditions for being the primary beneficiary of Fund II.

We consolidate entities through which we conduct substantially all of our business, and own, directly and through subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets. As of September 30, 2022, these consolidated VIEs had in aggregate total consolidated assets of $2.5 billion (of which $2.3 billion is related to investments in real estate) and total consolidated liabilities of $2.4 billion (of which $2.3 billion is related to non-recourse debt secured by our office and retail properties). The Company is obligated to repay substantially all of the liabilities of our consolidated VIEs, except for the non-recourse secured debt.

Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Joint Venture. Fund II has a noncontrolling interest in a joint venture, Brookfield DTLA Fund Properties IV LLC (“Fund IV”), with DTLA FP IV Holdings. The Company determined that the joint venture is a VIE mainly because its equity investment at risk is insufficient to finance the joint venture’s activities without additional subordinated financial support. While the joint venture meets the definition of a VIE, Brookfield DTLA is not its primary beneficiary as the Company lacks the power through voting or similar rights to direct the activities that most significantly impact the joint venture’s economic performance. Therefore, the Company accounts for its ownership interest in the joint venture under the equity method. Under the equity method of accounting, we initially recognize our investment at cost and subsequently adjust the carrying amount of the investment for our share of the investee’s earnings or losses, distributions received (if any), and other-than-temporary impairments. As of September 30, 2022, the Company’s ownership interest in the joint venture was 24.7%, a decrease from 33.6% as of December 31, 2021 as a result of additional capital contributed by DTLA FP IV Holdings to the joint venture during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

The liabilities of the joint venture may only be settled using the assets of 755 South Figueroa and are not recourse to the Company. Brookfield DTLA’s exposure to its investment in the joint venture is limited to its investment balance and the Company has no obligation to make future contributions to the joint venture. Pursuant to the operating agreement of the joint venture, DTLA FP IV Holdings may be required to fund additional amounts for the development of 755 South Figueroa, routine operating costs, and guaranties or commitments of the joint venture.

Impact of COVID-19 pandemic

Post-Labor Day physical occupancy levels improved slightly when compared to the prior quarter. However, leasing activity and physical occupancy in the LACBD has not caught up to pre-pandemic levels as businesses consider how to best implement return-to-office plans and transition to hybrid or remote work policies. Office tenants are still active in the leasing markets but being more selective in making real estate decisions. Relocating and renewing tenants are pursuing space efficiencies which are often accompanied by size reduction and a focus on highest quality assets. Retail tenants have continued to benefit from higher visitor traffic since COVID mandates throughout California were lifted in June 2021 (the “Reopening”) but short of pre-pandemic levels. Overall, there were no material adjustments to our office and retail lease income during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated 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 contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods presented. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it considers to be reasonable under the circumstances. For example, estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to the useful lives of assets, recoverable amounts of receivables, impairment of long-lived assets and the fair value of debt. Actual results could ultimately differ from such estimates.

Impairment Review

Investments in long-lived assets, including our investments in real estate, are individually reviewed for impairment quarterly or if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the long-lived assets might not be recoverable, which is referred to as a “triggering event” or an “impairment indicator.” Indicators of potential impairment include the following:
Change in strategy resulting in an increased or decreased holding period;
Lower stabilized occupancy levels;
Deterioration of the rental market as evidenced by rent decreases, record-high capital expense obligations, and/or elevated concessions such as tenant improvement, over numerous quarters;
Properties with recent impairment issues that are adjacent to or located in the same submarket;
Significant decrease in properties’ market price;
Tenant financial problems; and/or
Comparable market barriers of competitors in the same submarket.

The carrying amount of long-lived assets to be held and used is deemed not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Triggering events or impairment indicators for long-lived assets to be held and used are assessed by property and include significant fluctuations in estimated net operating income, changes in leasing activity, significant near-term lease expirations, current and historical operating and/or cash flow losses, rental rates, and other market factors.

When conducting the impairment review of our investments in real estate, we assessed the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon numerous factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, the credit quality of our tenants, available market information, known trends, current market/economic conditions that may affect the asset, and historical and forecasted financial and operating information relating to the property, such as net operating income, leasing activity statistics, vacancy projections, renewal percentage, and rent collection rates. If the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by a property are less than its carrying amount, the Company determines the fair value of the property and an impairment loss would be recorded to write down the carrying amount of such property to its fair value. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized impairment charges on Wells Fargo Center–South Tower’s investments in real estate of $94.6 million and intangible assets associated with this property of $0.9 million to reduce their carrying amounts to their estimated fair value. While there were no impairment charges on other properties in our portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, in light of the evolving office rental business environment and the slowdown in economic growth in the near term because of rising interest rates, decreases in our property valuations may lead to additional impairment charges in our portfolio in the near future. In comparison, during the same periods in 2021, none of Brookfield DTLA’s real estate properties were impaired. See “Note 11 - Fair Value Measurements” for a detailed discussion of the factors that were considered when determining the fair value of Wells Fargo Center–South Tower.

The Company’s investment in its unconsolidated real estate joint venture is also reviewed for impairment quarterly or when conditions exist that may indicate that the decrease in the carrying amount of the investment has occurred and is other than temporary. Triggering events or impairment indicators for the Company’s unconsolidated real estate joint venture include its recurring operating losses, and other events such as significant changes in construction costs, estimated completion dates, intended holding periods, and other factors related to 755 South Figueroa development. Upon determination that an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, a write-down is recognized to reduce the carrying amount of the investment to its estimated fair value. Based on its review, management concluded that Brookfield DTLA’s investment in its unconsolidated real estate joint venture was not impaired as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.

Rents, Deferred Rents and Other Receivables

Under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 842, Leases, Brookfield DTLA must assess on an individual lease basis whether it is probable that the Company will collect the future lease payments throughout the term of the lease. The Company considers the tenant’s payment history and current credit status when assessing collectibility. If the collectibility of the lease payments is probable at lease commencement, the Company recognizes lease income over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis. During the term of the lease, Brookfield DTLA monitors the credit quality and any related material changes of our tenants by (i) reviewing financial statements of the tenants that are publicly available or that are required to be delivered to us pursuant to the applicable lease, (ii) monitoring news reports regarding our tenants and their respective businesses, (iii) monitoring the tenant’s payment history and current credit status, and (iv) analyzing current economic trends, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions. When collectibility is not deemed probable at the lease commencement date, the Company’s lease income is constrained to the lesser of (i) the income that would have been recognized if collection were probable, or (ii) the lease payments that have been collected from the lessee. If the collectibility assessment changes to probable after the lease commencement date, any difference between the lease income that would have been recognized if collectibility had always been assessed as probable and the lease income recognized to date is recognized as a current-period adjustment to lease income. If the collectibility assessment changes to not probable after the lease commencement date, lease income is reversed to the extent that the lease payments that have been collected from the lessee are less than the lease income recognized to date. Changes to the collectibility of operating leases are recorded as adjustments to lease income in the consolidated statements of operations. As the result of our assessment of the collectibility of amounts due under leases with our tenants, the Company recognized a (reduction) and recovery of lease income totaling $(56) thousand and $280 thousand, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to a recovery of lease income totaling $1.5 million and $881 thousand, respectively, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Income Taxes

Brookfield DTLA has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) pursuant to Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its tax period ended December 31, 2013. Brookfield DTLA conducts its operations with the intent to continue to qualify as a REIT. Accordingly, Brookfield DTLA is not subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that it continues to qualify as a REIT and makes distributions to its stockholders, if any, that generally equal or exceed its taxable income.

Brookfield DTLA has elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). A TRS is permitted to engage in activities that a REIT cannot engage in directly, such as performing non‑customary services for the Company’s tenants, holding assets that the Company cannot hold directly and conducting certain affiliate transactions. A TRS is subject to both federal and state income taxes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company’s various TRS reversed income tax expenses of $69 thousand and $118 thousand, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company reversed income tax expenses of $1.1 million and recorded an accrual of $446 thousand during the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

Note 3—Recently Issued Accounting Literature

New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which provides accounting relief from the future impact of the cessation of LIBOR by, among other things, providing optional expedients to treat contract modifications resulting from such reference rate reform as a continuation of the existing contract and for hedging relationships to not be de-designated resulting from such changes provided certain criteria are met. The guidance is effective beginning on March 12, 2020, and we may elect to apply the amendments prospectively through December 31, 2022. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Scope, which amends the scope of ASU 2020-04 to include derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. ASU 2021-01 became effective upon issuance and may be applied on a full retrospective basis as of any date from the beginning of an interim period that includes or is subsequent to March 12, 2020 or prospectively for contract modifications made on or before December 31, 2022. The Company adopted ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 on a prospective basis on January 1, 2022. At the time of adoption, the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to track the exposure as of each reporting period and to assess the impact as the reference rate transition occurs through the cessation of LIBOR.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Adopted

The Company does not anticipate any recently issued accounting standards pronouncements to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial position or results of operations in these or future consolidated financial statements.

Non-Recourse Carve Out Guarantees

All of our secured debt is subject to “non-recourse carve out” guarantees that expire upon elimination of the underlying loan obligations. In connection with all of these loans, Brookfield DTLA entered into “non-recourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for these otherwise non-recourse loans to become partially or fully recourse against DTLA Holdings, if certain triggering events (as defined in the loan agreements) occur.

Debt Compliance

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Brookfield DTLA was in compliance with all material financial covenants contained in the loan agreements.

Certain loan agreements held by Brookfield DTLA contain debt yield and debt service coverage ratios. As of September 30, 2022, Brookfield DTLA was meeting or exceeding these financial ratios, with the exception of the loans secured by Wells Fargo Center—South Tower and Wells Fargo Center—North Tower that did not meet their respective minimum debt yield ratio.

Wells Fargo Center–South Tower —

Pursuant to the terms of the Wells Fargo Center–South Tower mortgage loan agreement, effective September 2020, a cash sweep event commenced as the borrower’s debt yield ratio was under the minimum debt yield ratio. While this does not constitute an Event of Default under the terms of the mortgage loan agreement, any excess operating cash flows are currently swept to a cash account controlled by the loan administrative agent. Funds within this account shall be applied to the borrower's approved operating expenses, capital expenditures and leasing costs; property taxes and insurance; interest and any other amounts due and payable under the loan and interest rate cap contracts; and fees and expenses due to the loan administrative agent.

Wells Fargo Center–North Tower —

As of September 30, 2022, the borrower’s debt yield ratio was under the minimum debt yield ratio. While this does not constitute an Event of Default under the terms of the mortgage loan agreement, following the occurrence of such debt yield event, any excess operating cash flows are to be swept to a cash account controlled by the loan administrative agent. Funds within this account shall be applied to the borrower's approved operating expenses; tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions (capped at the leasing reserve deposit amount as specified in the loan agreements); property taxes and insurance; interest and any other amounts due and payable under the loan and interest rate cap contracts; reserve accounts; and fees and expenses due to the loan administrative agent. The cash sweep started in January 2022.

London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) Transition

The chief executive of the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”), which regulates LIBOR, previously announced that the FCA intended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. In response, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. In November 2020, the Intercontinental Exchange (“ICE”) Benchmark Administration Limited, the benchmark administrator for USD-LIBOR rates, proposed extending the publication of certain commonly-used USD-LIBOR settings until June 30, 2023 and the FCA issued a statement supporting such proposal. In connection with this proposal, certain U.S. banking regulators issued guidance strongly encouraging banks to generally cease entering into new contracts referencing USD-LIBOR as soon as practicable and in any event by December 31, 2021.

As of September 30, 2022, we have outstanding variable debt and interest rate cap contracts that are indexed to LIBOR. All of the Company’s variable debt contracts contain fallback languages that lay out the process through which a replacement rate can be identified or used when LIBOR is not available. The LIBOR interest rate index for the debt secured by Wells Fargo Center–North Tower was replaced by SOFR in October 2022.

The discontinuation of LIBOR will not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or interest rate caps, but if our contracts indexed to LIBOR are converted to SOFR, the differences between LIBOR and SOFR, plus the recommended spread adjustment, could result in interest costs that are higher than if LIBOR remained available.

Series B Preferred Interest. Pursuant to the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Fund II and the First Amendment to the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Fund II, DTLA Holdings made a commitment to contribute up to $310.0 million in cash or property to Fund II, which directly or indirectly owns the Brookfield DTLA properties. Effective May 2022, pursuant to the Second Amendment to the Limited Liability Company Agreement of Fund II, such contribution commitment by DTLA Holdings increased by $40.0 million to $350.0 million. As of September 30, 2022, $46.2 million is available to the Company under this commitment for future funding. The Series B preferred interest in Fund II held by DTLA Holdings is senior to the interest in Fund II indirectly held by the Company and has a priority on distributions senior to the equity securities of such subsidiaries held indirectly by the Company and, as a result, rank senior to the Series A preferred stock. The Series B preferred interest in Fund II may limit the amount of funds available to the Company for any purpose, including for dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock.

The Series A-1 preferred interest, senior participating preferred interest and Series B preferred interest are held by a noncontrolling interest holder. Series A preferred stock, Series A-1 preferred interest, senior participating preferred interest and Series B preferred interest (collectively, the “Preferred Interests”) are classified as mezzanine equity because they are callable, and the holder of the Series A-1 preferred interest, senior participating preferred interest, Series B preferred interest, and some of the Series A preferred stock indirectly controls the ability to elect to redeem such instruments, through its controlling interest in the Company and its subsidiaries. See Note 9—“Mezzanine Equity.”

__________
(1)Cash available to Fund II arises from its interests in its investments. Fund II owns indirectly all of the interests in Gas Company Tower, Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, Wells Fargo Center–North Tower, 777 Tower and an interest in the 755 South Figueroa development site which will decrease as capital is called to fund the development. See Note 1 “Organization and Description of Business”. In addition, Fund II owns 96% indirectly of the interests in EY Plaza, FIGat7th and BOA Plaza (the “Fund III Assets”). DTLA Holdings owns the remaining 4% interest in the Fund III Assets. The amounts due to DTLA Holdings on the senior participating preferred interest for its preferred return and unreturned capital in Fund III were fully paid as of December 31, 2015. All of Fund II’s interests in these assets are subject to certain REIT accommodation preferred interests. This waterfall may be effected by future equity issuances in respect of Fund II, Fund III, Fund IV, or their subsidiaries, and are subject to all of the indebtedness of the entities.
(2)The Fund II Series A preferred interest is comprised of two parts, one is a preferred component with the analogous economic terms as the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and a common component, which is junior to the preferred component of the Series A interest on analogous terms to the relationship between the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock. The Series A preferred interest is junior to the Fund II Series B preferred interest. See Note 8 “Noncontrolling Interests — Series B Preferred Interest”. Amounts paid in respect of the Fund II’s Series A preferred interest are generally available upon distribution to the Company for further distribution in respect of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock, and, when and if distributed in respect of the Series A Preferred Stock, will be distributed first to accumulated and unpaid dividends and to reduce its unreturned liquidation capital.
(3)DTLA Holdings in its capacity as the holder of the Series A-1 preferred interest can waive receipt of distributions that would otherwise be made to it in respect of the Series A-1 preferred interest and such amounts shall be paid instead to the Series A preferred interest or as otherwise provided by the subsequent provisions of the waterfall. Any amounts waived by DTLA Holdings shall not reduce the Series A-1 unpaid preferred return or unreturned capital.
(4)Applicable if distribution is (a) in connection with a liquidating event or redemption or (b) at the election of Brookfield DTLA.
(5)Based on the interests of the Series A and Series B interests of the Fund after repayment of the preferred capital portion of each of them, until the Senior A junior unreturned liquidation capital is reduced to zero.

Changes in fair value of interest rate cap contracts recognized in the consolidated statements of operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 were de minimis.

Other Financial Instruments

Brookfield DTLA’s other financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of bank deposits and rents receivable. Brookfield DTLA places its bank deposits with major commercial banks. Cash balances with any one institution may at times be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation-insured limit of $250,000.

See Note 2 “Basis of Presentation—Rents, Deferred Rents and Other Receivables” for a discussion of assessments regarding the collectibility of rents and deferred rents receivable and related adjustments made during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Note 11—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures

ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine 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 at the measurement date (the “exit price”).

ASC Topic 820 established a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three categories:
Level 1—Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date.
Level 2—Observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets but corroborated by market data.
Level 3—Unobservable prices that are used when little or no market data is available.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. Brookfield DTLA utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs, to the extent possible, as well as consider counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.

Recurring Measurements—

The fair value of interest rate cap contracts was $495 thousand and $46 thousand as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The Company classified them as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Nonrecurring Measurements—

As of September 30, 2022, assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis on our consolidated balance sheets consisted of real estate assets and their associated intangible assets that have been written down to estimated fair value for impairment losses. Such impairment losses of $95.4 million were related to Wells Fargo Center — South Tower. While there were no impairment charges on other properties in our portfolio during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, in light of the evolving office rental business environment and the slowdown in economic growth in the near term because of rising interest rates, decreases in our property valuations may lead to additional impairment charges in our portfolio in the near future. In comparison, as of December 31, 2021, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. Refer to Note 2—“Basis of Presentation —Impairment Review” for further discussion.

The Company uses the discounted cash flow method to assess the fair value of investments in real estate, including Wells Fargo Center — South Tower. All inputs used to value investments in real estate fall within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Even if observable market data is available, such inputs are considered Level 3 if any significant data point used in the valuation process is not observable. When estimating the fair value of our investments in real estate, we assessed the expected undiscounted cash flows based upon numerous factors. These factors include, but are not limited to, available market information, known trends, current market/economic conditions that may affect the asset, and historical and forecasted financial and operating information relating to the property, such as net operating income, leasing activity statistics, vacancy projections, renewal percentage, and rent collection rates. Fair value is primarily determined by discounting the expected future cash flows, generally over a term of 10 years including a terminal value based on the application of a capitalization rate to estimated year 11 cash flows. The measurement of the fair value of the Company's investment is impacted by the discount rate and terminal capitalization rate utilized in the discounted cash flows model which are significant unobservable inputs. As of September 30, 2022, the discount and terminal capitalization rates used in the discounted cash flows model of Wells Fargo Center — South Tower, which was measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, were 9.3% and 5.8%, respectively.

The following table presents the carrying amounts of assets that were still held and had fair value adjustments measured on a nonrecurring basis as of September 30, 2022:

Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments—

Secured debt The Company estimates the fair value of its debt by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of principal and interest payments for each loan. The calculation incorporates observable market interest rates (Level 2 inputs), assumes that each loan will be outstanding until maturity, and excludes any options to extend the maturity date of the loan available per the terms of the loan agreement, if any. The table below presents the estimated fair value and carrying value of the Company’s secured debt included in liabilities:
September 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Fair Value$2,268,406 $2,263,160 
Carrying value $2,277,534 $2,255,921 

Other financial instruments As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant and other receivables, other assets, accounts payable and other liabilities, and balances with affiliates approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Note 14—Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries may be subject to pending legal proceedings and litigation incidental to its business. After consultation with legal counsel, management believes that any liability that may potentially result upon resolution of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Concentration of Tenant Credit Risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that tenants may be unable to fulfill their lease commitments. Brookfield DTLA’s properties are typically leased to high credit-rated tenants for lease terms ranging from five to ten years, although we also enter into some shorter or longer-term leases. As our entire portfolio is located in the LACBD, any specific economic changes within that location could affect our tenant base, and by extension, our profitability.

Brookfield DTLA generally does not require collateral or other security from its tenants, other than security deposits or letters of credit. Our credit risk is mitigated by the high quality of our existing tenant base, review of prospective tenants’ risk profiles prior to lease execution, and frequent monitoring of our tenant portfolio to identify problem tenants. However, since we may have a concentration of lease income from certain tenants within the concentration of the professional services sector, the inability of those tenants to make payments under their leases could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.

Current Period Highlights

Leasing Market and COVID-19 Pandemic Update; Increase in Interest Rates; and Turbulence in Financing Markets

Post-Labor Day physical occupancy levels improved slightly when compared to the prior quarter. However, leasing activity and physical occupancy in the LACBD has not caught up to pre-pandemic levels as businesses consider how to best implement return-to-office plans and transition to hybrid or remote work policies. Office tenants are still active in the leasing markets but being more selective in making real estate decisions. Relocating and renewing tenants are pursuing space efficiencies which are often accompanied by size reduction and a focus on highest quality assets. Retail tenants have continued to benefit from higher visitor traffic since COVID mandates throughout California were lifted in June 2021 (the “Reopening”) but short of pre-pandemic levels. Overall, there were no material adjustments to our office and retail lease income during each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

While we cannot be certain as to the duration of the impact of COVID-19, we expect impacts of COVID-19 to continue affecting our financial results and the LACBD Class A office leasing market in general. The future impact of the pandemic on the demand for office space is unknown, as companies consider the evolving business environment and labor requirements to evaluate their future space demands in light of their current and projected headcount and the increased desire for more work-location flexibility. In addition, during the second and third quarter of 2022, uncertainty in the overall economy has returned due to the Federal Reserve raising interest rates to fight inflation and the war in the Ukraine. In addition, the cost of acquiring interest rate cap contracts, which we are required to obtain with respect to the Company’s initiation and extension of floating rate secured loans, has risen sharply. With the Los Angeles regional economy operating in a post-pandemic environment, the labor market remains historically tight and regional unemployment is back to pre-pandemic levels. While these strong underlying fundamentals would normally result in higher leasing activity and decreased availability, the continued widespread adoption of hybrid workspace strategies and uncertainty in the overall economy continue to suppress the Los Angeles office demand and remain a tenant-favorable market for the foreseeable future. As interest rates continue to increase, a slowdown in economic growth could be seen in the near-term which could adversely affect leasing activity and result in rising availability levels. See “Risk Factors—The Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition have been adversely affected and could in the future be materially adversely affected by the ongoing global pandemic of novel strain of the coronavirus.” and “Risk Factors—We may be adversely affected by trends in the office real estate industry.” in Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022 and “Risk Factors—The Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition have been adversely affected and could in the future be materially adversely affected by the ongoing global pandemic of novel strain of the coronavirus, continuing uncertainty in the office leasing market, the marked increase in interest rates; and turbulence in financing markets” in Part II, Item 1A.

Leasing Activity

Following the Reopening, leasing activity improved with new and renewal leases totaling 588,428 square feet within our portfolio in the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 185,747 square feet for the same period in 2021, an increase of 217% year over year. Contractual expirations and early terminations of leases totaled 618,209 square feet during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to 294,324 square feet for the same period in 2021, an increase of 110% year over year. As a result of the negative net absorption, leased space decreased slightly from 77.7% during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to 76.9% for the same period in 2022. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources — Leasing Activity” for details.

Capital Improvements

The atrium development project at Wells Fargo Center was completed in 2020 and the construction of the various food vendor spaces is in progress and expected to be completed in 2023.

Expenditures for real estate improvements increased from $10.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 to $45.4 million for the same period in 2022, an increase of $34.5 million or 317% year over year, mainly for tenant improvements and landlord works in Wells Fargo Center and 777 Tower, mainly due to substantial completion of tenant improvement projects for several existing and new tenants during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

755 South Figueroa Development

The 755 South Figueroa multifamily site is held by an unconsolidated real estate joint venture in which the Company had an ownership interest of 24.7% as of September 30, 2022. In April 2022, vertical concrete construction for the development site was completed and a ceremony for the topping out of the project was held with the residential building officially named “Beaudry”. Interior work continued and substantial completion is expected in the first quarter of 2023. The property will accommodate 785 residential rental units, approximately 5,300 square feet of retail space and 800 parking spaces. As the development progresses towards the targeted completion by the first quarter of 2023, $34.9 million and $157.0 million was capitalized as development cost during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, compared to $54.4 million and $111.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. As such, during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, additional capital contributions of $19.0 million and $48.2 million, respectively, compared to $13.0 million and $26.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, were made by DTLA FP IV Holdings to fund development costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The following table presents the major sources of Brookfield DTLA’s liquidity as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

September 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Cash and cash equivalents$33,354 $38,901 
Unused capital contribution commitments available on Series B preferred interest46,248 21,178 
Availability under secured debt to fund approved leasing costs
56,441 72,804 
Total Liquidity$136,043 $132,883 

Brookfield DTLA’s business requires continued access to adequate cash to fund its liquidity needs. The amount of cash Brookfield DTLA currently generates from its operations is not sufficient to cover its investing and financing activities, including upcoming debt obligations, leasing costs and capital expenditures, without issuing additional debt or equity, resulting in “negative cash burn,” and it is likely that the amount of Brookfield DTLA’s negative cash burn will increase, or that it will not improve, in the future. If Brookfield DTLA’s operating cash flows and capital are not sufficient to cover its operating costs or to repay its indebtedness as it comes due, we may issue additional debt and/or equity, including to affiliates of Brookfield DTLA, which issuances could further adversely impact the amount of funds available to Brookfield DTLA for any purpose, including for dividends or other distributions to holders of its capital stock, including the Series A preferred stock. In many cases, such securities may be issued if authorized by the board of directors of Brookfield DTLA without the approval of holders of the Series A preferred stock. Given the uncertainty in the economy, current office leasing volume, volatile financial markets created by the continued rise in interest rates in the near future and the war in the Ukraine, and the Company’s upcoming debt maturities, management believes that access to liquidity will be challenging and is planning accordingly. We are also working to proactively address challenges to our long-term liquidity position. However, if uncertainty in the economy and financial and leasing markets do not improve, or the Company is not able to find additional sources of liquidity, the property-owning subsidiary debt obligors may not be able to successfully refinance the debt obligations when they fall due, which could result in foreclosure on the encumbered properties.

The following are our expected actual and potential sources of liquidity:

Unrestricted and restricted cash; see “Unrestricted and Restricted Cash
Cash generated from operating activities, see “Discussion of Consolidated Cash Flows — Operating Activities ;
Potential asset dispositions, see “Potential Asset Dispositions
Proceeds from additional secured debt financings, see “Indebtedness” and
Contributions from noncontrolling interests, see “Discussion of Consolidated Cash Flows — Financing Activities

Table of Contents


BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
These sources are essential to our liquidity and financial position, and we cannot assure you that we will be able to successfully access them (particularly in the current rising interest rate environment). If we are unable to generate adequate cash from these sources, we will have liquidity-related shortfalls and will be exposed to significant risks.

The following are our uses of liquidity:

Cash used in operating activities, see “Discussion of Consolidated Cash Flows — Operating Activities;
Capital expenditures and leasing costs, see “Capital Expenditures and Leasing Costs
Payments in connection with secured debt, such as debt service, principal payment obligations and acquisition of interest rate cap contracts, see “Indebtedness” and
Distributions to mezzanine equity holders, see “Distributions to Mezzanine Equity Holders.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $2.3 billion of total consolidated debt. Our substantial indebtedness requires us to use a material portion of our cash flow to service interest on our debt. As our debt matures between 2023 and 2026, with $821.7 million due by the end of 2023, our principal payment obligations also present significant future cash requirements. It is likely that in some cases we will not be able to successfully extend, refinance or repay our debt due to a number of factors, including decreased property valuations, limited availability of credit, tightened lending standards, increases in interest rates, worsening outlook in the office leasing market and deteriorating economic conditions. Because of our limited unrestricted cash when compared with the significant debt balances, upcoming debt maturities present cash obligations that the property-owning subsidiary obligor may not be able to satisfy. For assets that we do not or cannot dispose of and for which the relevant property-owning subsidiary, or the Company (or its affiliates) is unable or unwilling to fund the resulting obligations, we may seek to extend or refinance the applicable loans or engage in negotiations with loan servicers to modify loans or may default upon such loans. Historically, extending or refinancing loans has required the payment of certain fees to, and expenses of, the applicable lenders, as well as the purchase of interest rate cap contracts. Any future extensions or refinancings will likely require increased fees. These fees and cash flow restrictions will affect our ability to fund our other liquidity uses. In addition, the terms of the extensions or refinancings may include operational and financial covenants significantly more restrictive than our current debt covenants.

Unrestricted and Restricted Cash

A summary of our cash position is as follows:

September 30, 2022December 31, 2021
Restricted cash:
Leasing costs, tenant improvements and capital expenditure reserves$6,460 $23,511 
Tax and insurance reserves14,974 7,881 
Other working capital reserves8,701 10,117 
Cash sweep reserves11,205 7,813 
Total restricted cash$41,340 $49,322 
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents$33,354 $38,901 
Total restricted cash and unrestricted cash and cash equivalents$74,694 $88,223 

The leasing costs, tenant improvements and capital expenditure, tax, insurance and other working capital reserves are held in restricted accounts by our lenders in accordance with the terms of our secured debt agreements. The other working capital reserves mainly include reserves for free rent and discounted parking. The cash sweep reserves represent cash accounts controlled by loan administrative agents or lenders pursuant to cash sweep events associated with the loans secured by the Wells Fargo Center–North Tower and South Tower. See Indebtedness” below for more information regarding the cash sweep events.

Capital Expenditures and Leasing Costs

Capital expenditures fluctuate in any given period, subject to the nature, extent and timing of improvements required to maintain Brookfield DTLA’s properties. Leasing costs also fluctuate in any given period, depending upon such factors as the type of property, the length and type of lease, the involvement of external leasing agents and overall market conditions.

As of September 30, 2022, the Company had $44.6 million in tenant-related commitments, including tenant improvements, tenant inducements and leasing commissions, which are based on executed leases. As of September 30, 2022, $39.4 million of our tenant-related commitments were expected to be paid during the remainder of 2022, relating mainly to tenant improvement works performed for a major tenant in the Wells Fargo Center–North Tower of $20.4 million.

Brookfield DTLA expects that capital improvements and leasing activities at its properties will require material amounts of cash for at least several years. According to our 2022 business plan, Brookfield DTLA projects spending approximately $402.7 million over the next five years consisting of $296.0 million for tenant improvements and landlord works, $92.1 million for leasing costs and $14.5 million for capital expenditures. The expected capital improvements include, but are not limited to, renovations and physical capital upgrades to Brookfield DTLA’s properties, elevator modernization, replacement of transformers and boilers, and upgrades to emergency generators. These projections are estimates and may be subject to changes per future revisions of speculative leasing plans.

See “Indebtedness” below for more information regarding future advance amounts available as of September 30, 2022 under the loans secured by the Wells Fargo Center–South Tower and 777 Tower office properties that can be drawn to fund approved leasing costs, including tenant improvements and inducements and leasing commissions, and, in the case of Wells Fargo Center–South Tower, common area improvements.

Distributions to Mezzanine Equity Holders

Other than as required under the “Distribution Waterfall” as described in Item 1. Financial Statements — Note 9 — “Mezzanine Equity”, there is no commitment or obligation on the part of Brookfield DTLA or DTLA Holdings to redeem or make distributions to the Series A preferred stock, Series A-1 preferred interest, senior participating preferred interest and Series B preferred interest (collectively, the “Preferred Interests”). If we are unable to obtain sufficient sources of liquidity, including through asset sales above their secured debt balances, and/ or through contributions from stockholders or from affiliates that hold interests in our subsidiaries, it is unlikely that we would be able to make distributions to the Preferred Interests in amounts equal to their redemption values. In particular, in the event of waterfall distributions, the Series A preferred stock ranks junior to Series B preferred interest. Given our current and future property valuations, as well as our obligations and liabilities, there is no assurance that there would be any cash available for distributions to holders of the Series A preferred stock after the Company satisfies its debt obligations and makes the distributions to the Series B preferred interest holders to which they are entitled.

Indebtedness

As of September 30, 2022, Brookfield DTLA’s secured debt was comprised of mortgage and mezzanine loans secured by seven properties. A summary of our secured debt as of September 30, 2022 is as follows:

See Item 1. “Financial Statements—Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 12—Related Party Transactions.”
(2)Based on the maturity dates after the impact of extension options that the Company controls, if applicable.
(3)Interest payments on fixed-rate debt are calculated based on the maturity dates (after the impact of extension options that the Company controls, if applicable) and contractual interest rates.
(4)Interest payments on variable-rate debt are calculated based on the maturity dates (after the impact of extension options that the Company controls, if applicable) and the one-month LIBOR rate (or, from 2023 onwards, its successor rate) in place on the debt as of September 30, 2022 plus the contractual spread per the loan agreements. Interest payments due to the related party lender of the loan described in (1) above total $0.7 million for the remainder of 2022 and $2.1 million for 2023.

Management currently intends to seek to extend or refinance the existing loans maturing within the next twelve months on or about their scheduled maturities. As the leverage ratio for the Company’s properties may be significantly above leverage ratios acceptable in the market, it is likely that some of these refinancings may not be successfully accomplished or may result in proceeds that are insufficient to repay the maturing loan or loans being refinanced.

Non-Recourse Carve Out Guarantees

All of our secured debt is subject to “non-recourse carve out” guarantees that expire upon elimination of the underlying loan obligations. In connection with all of these loans, Brookfield DTLA entered into “non-recourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for these otherwise non-recourse loans to become partially or fully recourse against DTLA Holdings, if certain triggering events (as defined in the loan agreements) occur.

Debt Compliance

As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, Brookfield DTLA was in compliance with all material financial covenants contained in the loan agreements. However, given the decline in the Company’s (and its subsidiaries) operating cash flows, net operating income and fair value of the properties, accentuated by continued increases in interest rates, DTLA Holdings and the property-owning subsidiary debt obligors may face challenges in meeting the material financial covenants contained in the loan agreements as the guarantor and the borrowers, respectively, which could result in events of default that could potentially allow lenders to exercise their remedies under the loans, including accelerating such debt and foreclosing on the asset.

BROOKFIELD DTLA FUND OFFICE TRUST INVESTOR INC.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Certain loan agreements held by Brookfield DTLA contain debt yield and debt service coverage ratios. As of September 30, 2022, Brookfield DTLA was meeting or exceeding these financial ratios, with the exception of the loans secured by Wells Fargo Center—South Tower and Wells Fargo Center—North Tower that did not meet their respective minimum debt yield ratio.

Wells Fargo Center–South Tower —

Pursuant to the terms of the Wells Fargo Center–South Tower mortgage loan agreement, effective September 2020, a cash sweep event commenced as the borrower’s debt yield ratio was under the minimum debt yield ratio. While this does not constitute an Event of Default under the terms of the mortgage loan agreement, any excess operating cash flows are currently swept to a cash account controlled by the loan administrative agent. Funds within this account shall be applied to the borrower's approved operating expenses, capital expenditures and leasing costs; property taxes and insurance; interest and any other amounts due and payable under the loan and interest rate cap contracts; and fees and expenses due to the loan administrative agent.

Wells Fargo Center–North Tower —

As of September 30, 2022, the borrower’s debt yield ratio was under the minimum debt yield ratio. While this does not constitute an Event of Default under the terms of the mortgage loan agreement, following the occurrence of such debt yield event, any excess operating cash flows are to be swept to a cash account controlled by the loan administrative agent. Funds within this account shall be applied to the borrower's approved operating expenses; tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions (capped at the leasing reserve deposit amount as specified in the loan agreements); property taxes and insurance; interest and any other amounts due and payable under the loan and interest rate cap contracts; reserve accounts; and fees and expenses due to the loan administrative agent. The cash sweep started in January 2022.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Occupancy rate declined slightly during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Office tenants are still active in the leasing markets but are being more selective in making real estate decisions. LACBD remained tenant favorable. Many companies consider the evolving business environment and labor requirements to evaluate their future space demands in light of their current and projected headcount and the increased desire for more work-location flexibility. Tenants are seeking higher quality spaces modernized with new amenities that are more inviting and collaborative. Landlords are curating premier tenant experiences to better align with an active work environment, leveraging diverse food and beverage options with hospitality-focused tenant engagement services. Lease concessions, particularly tenant improvement allowances, continue to remain high as landlords continued to market increased vacant space in the slow-recovering LACBD leasing market.

(1)Annualized rent represents the annualized monthly contractual rent under executed leases as of September 30, 2022. This amount reflects total base rent before any rent abatements as of September 30, 2022. Total abatements for executed leases as of September 30, 2022 for the twelve months ending September 30, 2023 are approximately $16.6 million, or $2.85 per leased square foot.
(2)Annualized rent per rentable square foot represents annualized rent as computed above, divided by leased square feet as of September 30, 2022.

Average asking net effective rents in the LACBD declined significantly during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, mainly attributable to surging leasing concessions granted in the tenant-favorable LACBD office leasing market. Management believes that on average our current rents approximate market in the LACBD.

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Potential Asset Dispositions

We may pursue the disposal of assets in order to (1) preserve cash through the disposition of properties with current or projected negative cash flow and/or other potential near-term cash outlay requirements (including debt maturities) or (2) generate cash through the disposition of strategically-identified properties with positive equity value. If we choose to pursue asset dispositions as our source of liquidity, we cannot assure you that such a disposition could be completed in a timely manner or on terms acceptable to us.

In addition, the ordinance, Measure United to House L.A. (“Measure ULA”), which is expected to pass in November 2022, would reduce the net sales proceeds from our potential asset dispositions. This ordinance increases real estate transfer taxes in the City of Los Angeles effective April 1, 2023. Such real estate transfer taxes are levied when a property is sold, and usually paid by the seller. Prior to the effective date of this ordinance, the City of Los Angeles taxed all real estate transactions at 0.45% applied to the fair value of the property net of debt. This ordinance implements a new progressive structure for the transfer tax, which taxes real estate sales transactions valued at $10.0 million and above at 5.5% on the gross fair value of the property without regard to debt.

Discussion of Consolidated Cash Flows

The following discussion of Brookfield DTLA’s cash flows is based on the consolidated statements of cash flows in Item 1. “Financial Statements” and is not meant to be an all‑inclusive discussion of the changes in its cash flows for the periods presented below.

A summary of changes in Brookfield DTLA’s cash flows is as follows:
For the Nine Months EndedDollar
Change
September 30,
20222021
Net cash provided by operating activities$49,086 $66,038 $(16,952)
Net cash used in investing activities$(37,065)$(20,211)$(16,854)
Net cash used in financing activities$(25,550)$(40,327)$14,777 

Operating Activities

Brookfield DTLA’s cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon (1) the leasing activity of its portfolio, (2) the rental rates achieved on its leases, (3) the collectibility of rent and other amounts billed to tenants, (4) changes in working capital, and (5) interest payments. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily attributable to increases in interest payments on secured debt of $9.0 million due to the rising interest rate environment in 2022, as well as increases in rental property operating and maintenance expense by $7.7 million as a result of increased physical occupancy.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (continued)
Investing Activities

Brookfield DTLA’s cash flows from investing activities are generally impacted by the amount of capital expenditures and tenant improvement activities for its properties. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was mainly due to increases in tenant improvement expenditures at Wells Fargo Center and 777 Tower.

Financing Activities

Brookfield DTLA’s cash flows from financing activities are generally impacted by its loan activity, and contributions from and distributions to its equity holders, if any. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, proceeds from drawings on loans secured by 777 Tower and Wells Fargo Center–South Tower of $13.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively, as well as net proceeds from the issuance of Series B preferred interest of $14.9 million was the main source of cash provided by financing activities. Cash outflows were mainly driven by repurchases of and distributions to Series B preferred interest of $47.0 million and $9.8 million, respectively, using the excess operating cash flows generated from properties. In comparison, during the same period in 2021, net proceeds from the refinancing of the loans secured by the Gas Company Tower and the issuance of Series B preferred interest of $6.0 million were the main source of cash provided by financing activities. All proceeds from the new secured loans were used to pay off the original $450.0 million encumbrance and to satisfy the new loans’ required reserves. As Brookfield DTLA had excess cash from operating activities generated from properties, it repurchased $37.5 million of the Series B preferred interest and made distribution of $12.7 million to the Series B preferred interest.

Rental property operating and maintenance expense mainly includes janitorial, repairs and maintenance, utilities, insurance, and various other recurring expenses. With the higher physical occupancy since the Reopening in June 2021, rental property operating and maintenance expense increased.

Interest Expense

An increase in interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2022 was mainly due to the rise in interest rates during 2022.

Impairment of Real Estate and Intangible Assets

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, upon our review of the current market conditions, the Company recognized impairment charges on Wells Fargo Center–South Tower’s investments in real estate of $94.6 million and intangible assets associated with this property of $0.9 million to reduce their carrying amounts to their estimated fair value. No impairment loss was recorded in the same period in 2021 on any of the Company’s properties.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Interest Rate Risk

As of September 30, 2022, $1.8 billion, or 80%, of Brookfield DTLA’s debt bears interest at variable rates based on one‑month LIBOR. Brookfield DTLA does not trade in financial instruments for speculative purposes. The primary market risk to which we believe we may be exposed is interest rate risk, which result from many factors, including government monetary and tax policies, economic considerations, and other factors that are beyond our control.

We utilize interest rate cap contracts to manage the interest rate risk of our outstanding debt and to limit the effects of interest rate risks on our operations. The use of interest rate cap contracts to hedge a portion of our exposure to changes in interest rates may carry additional risks, such as counterparty credit risk. Brookfield DTLA’s interest rate cap contracts in place as of September 30, 2022 are as follows:

Interest Rate Sensitivity

Our future earnings and fair value relating to our outstanding debt are primarily dependent upon prevalent market interest rates. The following table illustrates the effect of a 1% change in interest rates on our fixed- and variable-rate debt as of September 30, 2022:
Fair Value of
Annualized Effect on Future Interest
Expense due to Variable-rate Debt:
Secured
Debt
Rate increase of 1%$13,405 $(7,532)
Rate decrease of 1%$(18,475)$6,774 

The impact of a 1% increase or decrease in interest rates would have an immaterial effect on the fair value of Brookfield DTLA’s interest rate cap contracts as of September 30, 2022.

These amounts were determined considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on Brookfield DTLA’s financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Furthermore, in the event of a change of the magnitude discussed above, management may take actions to further mitigate Brookfield DTLA’s exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in Brookfield DTLA’s financial structure.

Item 4.    Controls and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Brookfield DTLA maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

53


Table of Contents
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), Brookfield DTLA carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of its management, including its principal executive officer and its principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Brookfield DTLA’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, G. Mark Brown, our principal executive officer, and Bryan D. Smith, our principal financial officer, concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2022.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in Brookfield DTLA’s internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended September 30, 2022 that have materially affected, or that are reasonable likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting due to the measures taken in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the impact of these measures on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.    Legal Proceedings.

Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries may be subject to pending legal proceedings and litigation incidental to its business. After consultation with legal counsel, management believes that any liability that may potentially result upon resolution of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or consolidated financial statements as a whole.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors.

In addition to the risk factors included in Part I, “Item IA. Risk Factors” in Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022, we include the following updates:

COMPANY AND REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY RISKS

The Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition have been adversely affected and could in the future be materially adversely affected by the ongoing global pandemic of novel strain of the coronavirus, continuing uncertainty in the office leasing market, the marked increase in interest rates; and turbulence in financing markets

While physical occupancy levels have improved slightly when compared to the prior quarter, leasing activity and physical occupancy in the LACBD has not caught up to pre-pandemic levels as businesses consider how to best implement return-to-office plans and transition to hybrid or remote work policies. Office tenants are still active in the leasing markets but being more selective in making rental decisions, and relocating and renewing tenants are pursuing space efficiencies which are often accompanied by size reduction and a focus on highest quality assets. We expect impacts of COVID-19 to continue adversely affecting our financial results and the LACBD Class A office leasing market in general. In addition, during the second and third quarter of 2022, uncertainty in the overall economy has returned due to the Federal Reserve materially raising interest rates to fight inflation and the impact of the war in the Ukraine. See “Risk Factors—We may be adversely affected by trends in the office real estate industry.” in Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022 for additional information.

If interest rates remain high or further increase and uncertainty in the overall economy continues, a slowdown in economic growth could be seen in the near-term which could adversely affect leasing activity and adversely affect our ability to refinance our secured debt as it becomes due. See “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — General” for additional discussions.

55


Table of Contents
There are numerous risks associated with the use of debt to finance our business, including refinancing and interest rate risks.

Brookfield DTLA incurs debt in the ordinary course of its business and therefore is subject to the risks associated with debt financing. These risks, including the following, may adversely impact our operating results and financial condition: our cash flows may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest; payments of principal and interest on borrowings may leave us with insufficient cash resources to pay operating expenses and meet all of our other obligations; for our variable-rate debt, the benchmark rates and credit spreads on which these debts are based have materially increased and there can be no assurance that the rate will not further increase in the future, increasing our interest expense. In addition, the cost of acquiring interest rate caps, which we are required to obtain with respect to the Company’s existing floating rate secured loans (and which we expect will be required to obtain similar loan to refinance our maturing debt), has risen sharply and there is no assurance that we will be able hedge such exposure effectively or at all in the future or bear the increased cost of such hedges. We may not be able to refinance indebtedness (or negotiate extensions) on our properties at maturity due to these business and market factors (including: disruptions and volatility in the capital and credit markets, the estimated cash flows of our properties, and the value (or appraised value) of our properties), financial, competitive, business and other factors, including factors beyond our control.

If current market conditions continue (or deteriorate further) and unless we can raise additional funds from outside sources, including our affiliates, it is likely that in some cases we will not be able to repay or refinance the debt secured by our properties at maturity, and we could default on such debt unless we can obtain an extension of the maturity date. A default may permit the lenders to foreclose on the applicable property. Proceeds from any disposition of a foreclosed property may not be sufficient to repay the full amount of the underlying debt. If, in some cases, we are unable to extend, refinance or repay our debt as it comes due, our business, financial condition and operating results may be materially and adversely affected. If we are unable to refinance our debt as it matures on acceptable terms, or at all, we may need to dispose of one or more of our properties on disadvantageous terms. Furthermore, even if we are able to obtain extensions on or refinance our existing debt, such extensions or new debt is likely to be on terms that are expected to be materially less favorable than the current terms of the related indebtedness and include operational and financial covenants significantly more restrictive than our current debt covenants which may limit the operation or growth of our business. See “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — General” and “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Indebtedness” for additional discussions.

RISKS RELATED TO THE OWNERSHIP OF BROOKFIELD DTLA SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK

The Series A preferred stock ranks junior to any indebtedness of Brookfield DTLA and its subsidiaries.

Brookfield DTLA is a holding company and does not own any material assets other than the equity interests of its subsidiaries, which conduct all of the Company’s operations. As a result, distributions or advances from the Company’s subsidiaries will be the primary source of funds available to meet the obligations of the Company, including any obligation to pay dividends, if declared, or other distributions in respect of the Series A preferred stock. Other than as required under the “Distribution Waterfall” as described in Part I — Item 1. Financial Statements — Note 9 — “Mezzanine Equity”, there is no commitment or obligation on the part of Brookfield DTLA or DTLA Holdings to redeem or make distributions to the Series A preferred stock, Series A-1 preferred interest, senior participating preferred interest and Series B preferred interest (collectively, the “Preferred Interests”). If we are unable to obtain sufficient sources of liquidity, including through asset sales above their secured debt balances, and/ or through contributions from stockholders or from affiliates that hold interests in our subsidiaries, it is unlikely that we would be able to make distributions to the Preferred Interests in amounts equal to their redemption values. In particular, in the event of waterfall distributions, the Series A preferred stock ranks junior to Series B preferred interest. Given our current and future property valuations, as well as our obligations and liabilities, there is no assurance that there would be any cash available for distributions to holders of the Series A preferred stock after the Company satisfies its debt obligations and makes the distributions to the Series B preferred interest holders to which they are entitled.

These risk factors supplement the risk factors included in Part I, “Item IA. Risk Factors” in Brookfield DTLA’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 24, 2022.

Item 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

None.

Item 3.    Defaults Upon Senior Securities.

Dividends on the Series A preferred stock are cumulative and therefore will continue to accrue at an annual rate of $1.90625 per share. As of October 31, 2022, the cumulative amount of unpaid dividends totaled $237.8 million.

Item 4.    Mine Safety Disclosures.

Not applicable.

Item 5.    Other Information.

None.
