Defined terms used in this Report:


Annualized Rent			Annualized cash base rent (excludes tenant reimbursements, parking and other revenue) before abatements under leases commenced as of the reporting date and expiring after the reporting date. Annualized Rent for our triple net office properties (in Honolulu and one single tenant building in Los Angeles) is calculated by adding expense reimbursements and estimates of normal building expenses paid by tenants to base rent. Annualized Rent does not include lost rent recovered from insurance and rent for building management use. Annualized Rent includes rent for our corporate headquarters in Santa Monica. We report Annualized Rent because it is a widely reported measure of the performance of equity REITs, and is used by some investors as a means to determine tenant demand and to compare our performance and value with other REITs. We use Annualized Rent to manage and monitor the performance of our office and multifamily portfolios.
Consolidated Portfolio			Includes all of the properties included in our consolidated results, including our consolidated JVs.
Funds From Operations (FFO)			We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by NAREIT by excluding gains (or losses) on sales of investments in real estate, gains (or losses) from changes in control of investments in real estate, real estate depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of right-of-use assets for which we are the lessee and amortization of deferred loan costs), and impairment write-downs of real estate from our net income (loss) (including adjusting for the effect of such items attributable to our consolidated JVs and our unconsolidated Fund, but not for noncontrolling interests included in our Operating Partnership). FFO is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that we report because we believe it is useful to our investors. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2 of this Report for a discussion of FFO.
Leased Rate			The percentage leased as of the reporting date. Management space is considered leased. Space taken out of service during a repositioning or which is vacant as a result of a fire or other damage is excluded from both the numerator and denominator for calculating percentage leased. We report Leased Rate because it is a widely reported measure of the performance of equity REITs, and is also used by some investors as a means to determine tenant demand and to compare our performance with other REITs. We use Leased Rate to manage and monitor the performance of our office and multifamily portfolios.
Net Operating Income (NOI)			We calculate NOI as revenue less operating expenses attributable to the properties that we own and operate. NOI is calculated by excluding the following from our net income (loss): general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization expense, other income, other expenses, income from unconsolidated Fund, interest expense, gains (or losses) on sales of investments in real estate and net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. NOI is a non-GAAP supplemental financial measure that we report because we believe it is useful to our investors. See Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in Item 2 of this Report for a discussion of our Same Property NOI.
Occupancy Rate			We calculate Occupancy Rate by excluding signed leases not yet commenced from the Leased Rate. Management space is considered occupied. Space taken out of service during a repositioning or which is vacant as a result of a fire or other damage is excluded from both the numerator and denominator for calculating Occupancy Rate. We report Occupancy Rate because it is a widely reported measure of the performance of equity REITs, and is also used by some investors as a means to determine tenant demand and to compare our performance with other REITs. We use Occupancy Rate to manage and monitor the performance of our office and multifamily portfolios.
Recurring Capital Expenditures			Building improvements required to maintain revenues once a property has been stabilized, and excludes capital expenditures for (i) acquired buildings being stabilized, (ii) newly developed space, (iii) upgrades to improve revenues or operating expenses or significantly change the use of the space, (iv) casualty damage and (v) bringing the property into compliance with governmental or lender requirements. We report Recurring Capital Expenditures because it is a widely reported measure of the performance of equity REITs, and is used by some investors as a means to determine our cash flow requirements and to compare our performance with other REITs. We use Recurring Capital Expenditures to manage and monitor the performance of our office and multifamily portfolios.

Glossary



Defined terms used in this Report (continued):

Rentable Square Feet			Based on the BOMA remeasurement and consists of leased square feet (including square feet with respect to signed leases not commenced as of the reporting date), available square feet, building management use square feet and square feet of the BOMA adjustment on leased space. We report Rentable Square Feet because it is a widely reported measure of the performance and value of equity REITs, and is also used by some investors to compare our performance and value with other REITs. We use Rentable Square Feet to manage and monitor the performance of our office portfolio.
Rental Rate			We present two forms of Rental Rates - Cash Rental Rates and Straight-Line Rental Rates. Cash Rental Rate is calculated by dividing the rent paid by the Rentable Square Feet. Straight-Line Rental Rate is calculated by dividing the average rent over the lease term by the Rentable Square Feet.
Same Properties			Our consolidated properties that have been owned and operated by us in a consistent manner, and reported in our consolidated results during the entire span of both periods being compared. We exclude from our same property subset any properties that during the comparable periods were: (i) acquired, (ii) sold, held for sale, contributed or otherwise removed from our consolidated financial statements, (iii) that underwent a major repositioning project or were impacted by development activity, or suffered significant casualty loss that we believed significantly affected the properties' operating results. We also exclude rent received from ground leases.
Short-Term Leases			Represents leases that expired on or before the reporting date or had a term of less than one year, including hold over tenancies, month to month leases and other short-term occupancies.
Total Portfolio			Includes our Consolidated Portfolio plus the properties owned by our Fund.

•increases in interest rates;

•increases in operating costs, including due to inflation;

•insufficient cash flows to service our outstanding debt or pay rent on ground leases;

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. Overview

Organization and Business Description

Douglas Emmett, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT. We are one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. Through our interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, consolidated JVs and unconsolidated Fund, we focus on owning, acquiring, developing and managing a substantial market share of top-tier office properties and premier multifamily communities in neighborhoods that possess significant supply constraints, high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities. The terms "us," "we" and "our" as used in the consolidated financial statements refer to Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis.

At March 31, 2023, our Consolidated Portfolio consisted of (i) a 17.6 million square foot office portfolio, (ii) 5,032 multifamily apartment units and (iii) fee interests in two parcels of land from which we receive rent under ground leases. We also manage and own an equity interest in an unconsolidated Fund which, at March 31, 2023, owned an additional 0.4 million square feet of office space. We manage our unconsolidated Fund alongside our Consolidated Portfolio, and we therefore present the statistics for our office portfolio on a Total Portfolio basis. As of March 31, 2023, our portfolio consisted of the following (including ancillary retail space and excluding two parcels of land from which we receive rent under ground leases):

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are the consolidated financial statements of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership and our consolidated JVs. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements.

We consolidate entities in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE or have a majority of the voting interest of the entity. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have (i) the power to direct the activities of that VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits 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 our power to direct the activities, most significantly impacting the economic performance, of that 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.

We consolidate our Operating Partnership through which we conduct substantially all of our business, and own, directly and through subsidiaries, substantially all of our assets, and are obligated to repay substantially all of our liabilities. The consolidated debt, excluding our consolidated JV's, was $3.41 billion as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. See Note 8. We also consolidate four JVs through our Operating Partnership. We consolidate our Operating Partnership and our four JVs because they are VIEs and we or our Operating Partnership are the primary beneficiary for each.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

As of March 31, 2023, our consolidated VIE entities, excluding our Operating Partnership, had:

•aggregate consolidated assets of $3.92 billion (of which $3.52 billion related to investment in real estate), and

•aggregate consolidated liabilities of $1.90 billion (of which $1.81 billion related to debt).

As of December 31, 2022, our consolidated VIE entities, excluding our Operating Partnership, had:

•aggregate consolidated assets of $3.94 billion (of which $3.54 billion related to investment in real estate), and

•aggregate consolidated liabilities of $1.89 billion (of which $1.81 billion related to debt).

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC in conformity with US GAAP as established by the FASB in the ASC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with US GAAP may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the notes thereto. Any references to the number or class of properties, square footage, per square footage amounts, apartment units and geography, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

We have not made any changes to our significant accounting policies disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenues and tenant recoveries

We account for our rental revenues and tenant recoveries in accordance with Topic 842 "Leases". Rental revenues and tenant recoveries are included in: (i) Rental revenues and tenant recoveries under Office rental, and (ii) Rental revenues under Multifamily rental, on our consolidated statements of operations.

Collectibility

In accordance with Topic 842, we perform an assessment as to whether or not substantially all of the amounts due under a tenant’s lease agreement is deemed probable of collection. This assessment involves using a methodology that requires judgment and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time the estimates are made, including tenant specific factors, specific industry conditions, and general economic trends and conditions. For leases where we have concluded it is probable that we will collect substantially all the lease payments due under those leases, we continue to record lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases where we have concluded that it is not probable that we will collect substantially all the lease payments due under those leases, we limit the lease income to the lesser of the income recognized on a straight-line basis or cash basis. We write-off tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables as a charge against rental revenues and tenant recoveries in the period we conclude that substantially all of the lease payments are not probable of collection. If we subsequently collect amounts that were previously written off then the amounts collected are recorded as an increase to our rental revenues and tenant recoveries in the period they are collected. If our conclusion of collectibility changes, we will record the difference between the lease income that would have been recognized on a straight-line basis and cash basis as a current-period adjustment to rental revenues and tenant recoveries.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Charges for uncollectible office tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables, reduced our office revenues by $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. We restored accrual basis accounting for certain office tenants that were previously determined to be uncollectible and accounted for on a cash basis of accounting, which increased our office revenues by $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Office parking revenues

We account for our office parking revenues in accordance with ASC 606 "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". Office parking revenues are included in Parking and other income under Office rental on our consolidated statements of operations. Our lease contracts generally make a specified number of parking spaces available to the tenant, and we bill and recognize parking revenues on a monthly basis in accordance with the lease agreements, generally using the monthly parking rates in effect at the time of billing. Office parking revenues were $22.7 million and $19.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Office parking receivables, which are included in Tenant receivables on our consolidated balance sheets, were $1.2 million as of March 31, 2023, and $0.9 million as of December 31, 2022.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. Provided that we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities. We are subject to corporate-level tax on the earnings that we derive through our TRS.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to US GAAP are implemented by the FASB in the form of ASUs. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. As of the date of this Report, the FASB has not issued any ASUs that we expect to be applicable and have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

4. Ground Lease

We pay rent under a ground lease located in Honolulu, Hawaii, which expires on December 31, 2086. The rent is fixed at $733 thousand per year until February 28, 2029, after which it will reset to the greater of the existing ground rent or the market rent at the time.

As of March 31, 2023, the ground lease right-of-use asset carrying value was $7.5 million and the ground lease liability was $10.8 million.

Ground rent expense, which is included in Office expenses on our consolidated statements of operations, was $183 thousand for each of the three month periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022.

10. Derivative Contracts

We make use of interest rate swap and cap contracts to manage the risk associated with changes in interest rates on our floating-rate debt and to satisfy certain lender requirements. When we enter into a floating-rate term loan, we generally enter into an interest rate swap agreement for the equivalent principal amount, for a period covering the majority of the loan term, which effectively converts our floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis during that time. We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to hedge certain economic risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect to not apply hedge accounting. We do not speculate in derivatives and we do not make use of any other derivative instruments. See Note 8 regarding our debt and our consolidated JVs' debt that is hedged.

11. Equity

Transactions

During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

•We repurchased 1.4 million shares of common stock for $16.5 million in cash, excluding transaction costs, in open market transactions. The average purchase price was $11.50 per share.

•We acquired 5 thousand OP Units for $89 thousand in cash.

During the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022

•We acquired 243 thousand OP Units in exchange for issuing an equal number of shares of our common stock to the holders of the OP Units.

•We acquired 9 thousand OP Units for $313 thousand in cash.

Noncontrolling Interests

Our noncontrolling interests consist of interests in our Operating Partnership and consolidated JVs which are not owned by us. As of March 31, 2023, noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership owned 32.5 million OP Units and fully-vested LTIP Units, which represented approximately 16% of our Operating Partnership's total outstanding interests, and we owned 174.4 million OP Units (to match our 174.4 million shares of outstanding common stock).

A share of our common stock, an OP Unit and an LTIP Unit (once vested and booked up) have essentially the same economic characteristics, sharing equally in the distributions from our Operating Partnership. Investors who own OP Units have the right to cause our Operating Partnership to acquire their OP Units for an amount of cash per unit equal to the market value of one share of our common stock at the date of acquisition, or, at our election, exchange their OP Units for shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. LTIP Units have been granted to our employees and non-employee directors as part of their compensation. These awards generally vest over a service period and once vested can generally be converted to OP Units provided our stock price increases by more than a specified hurdle.

Stock-Based Compensation

The Douglas Emmett, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "2016 Plan"), permits us to make grants of stock-based compensation awards to our directors, officers, employees and consultants. The plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors. The table below presents our stock-based compensation expense:

Stock-based compensation expense, net		$	2,794	$	2,581
Capitalized stock-based compensation		$	713	$	791

12. EPS

We calculate basic EPS by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We calculate diluted EPS by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive instruments outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. We account for unvested LTIP awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities and include these securities in the computation of basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method. The table below presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS:

Numerator (In thousands):
Net income attributable to common stockholders		$	18,373	$	25,514

____________________________________________________

(1) Outstanding OP Units and vested LTIP Units are not included in the denominator in calculating diluted EPS, even though they may be exchanged under certain conditions for common stock on a one-for-one basis, because their associated net income (equal on a per unit basis to the Net income per common share - diluted) was already deducted in calculating Net income attributable to common stockholders. Accordingly, any exchange would not have any effect on diluted EPS. The table below presents the weighted average OP Units and vested LTIP Units outstanding for the respective periods:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Our estimates of the fair value of financial instruments were determined using available market information and widely used valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and determine an estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair values. The FASB fair value framework hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity, and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market-based inputs. The hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1 - inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - inputs are observable either directly or indirectly for similar assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 3 - inputs are unobservable assumptions generated by the reporting entity.

As of March 31, 2023, we did not have any fair value estimates of financial instruments using Level 3 inputs.

Financial instruments disclosed at fair value

Short term financial instruments

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, revolving credit line, interest payable, accounts payable, security deposits and dividends payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Secured notes payable

See Note 8 for the details of our secured notes payable. We estimate the fair value of our consolidated secured notes payable by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of the principal and interest payments for each secured note payable. The calculation incorporates observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, assumes that the loans will be outstanding through maturity, and includes any maturity extension options. The table below presents the estimated fair value and carrying value of our secured notes payable (excluding our revolving credit facility), the carrying value includes unamortized loan premium and excludes unamortized deferred loan fees:


(In thousands)	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022

Fair value	$	5,119,831	$	5,115,548
Carrying value	$	5,224,124	$	5,224,449

Ground lease liability

See Note 4 for the details of our ground lease. We estimate the fair value of our ground lease liability by calculating the present value of the future lease payments disclosed in Note 4 using our incremental borrowing rate. The calculation incorporates observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs. The table below presents the estimated fair value and carrying value of our ground lease liability:


(In thousands)	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022

Fair value	$	4,598	$	4,466

Financial instruments measured at fair value

Derivative instruments

See Note 10 for the details of our derivatives. We present our derivatives on our consolidated balance sheets at fair value, on a gross basis, excluding accrued interest. We estimate the fair value of our derivative instruments by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of the expected future cash flows of each derivative. The calculation incorporates the contractual terms of the derivatives, observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, and credit risk adjustments to reflect the counterparty's as well as our own non-performance risk. Our derivatives are not subject to master netting arrangements.

The table below presents the estimated fair value of our derivatives:


(In thousands)	March 31, 2023		December 31, 2022

____________________________________________________

(1) Consolidated derivatives, which include 100%, not our pro-rata share, of our consolidated JVs' derivatives, are included in interest rate contracts on our consolidated balance sheets. The fair values exclude accrued interest which is included in interest payable on our consolidated balance sheets.

(2) The amounts reflect 100%, not our pro-rata share, of our unconsolidated Fund's derivatives. Our pro-rata share of the amounts related to the unconsolidated Fund's derivatives is included in our Investment in unconsolidated Fund on our consolidated balance sheets. Our unconsolidated Fund did not have any derivatives in a liability position for the periods presented. See Note 6 for more information about our Fund, including our equity interest percentage, and see "Guarantees" in Note 16 regarding our Fund's derivatives.

14. Segment Reporting

Segment information is prepared on the same basis that our management reviews information for operational decision-making purposes. We operate in two business segments: (i) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of office real estate and (ii) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily real estate. The services for our office segment primarily include rental of office space and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. The services for our multifamily segment include rental of apartments and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. Asset information by segment is not reported because we do not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources. Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments. General and administrative expenses and interest expense are not included in segment profit as our internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level.

The table below presents the operating activity of our reportable segments:

15. Future Minimum Lease Rental Receipts

We lease space to tenants primarily under non-cancelable operating leases that generally contain provisions for a base rent plus reimbursement of certain operating expenses, and we own fee interests in two parcels of land from which we receive rent under ground leases. The table below presents the future minimum base rentals on our non-cancelable office tenant and ground leases for our consolidated properties at March 31, 2023:

___________________________________

(1) Does not include (i) residential leases, which typically have a term of one year or less, (ii) holdover rent, (iii) other types of rent such as storage and antenna rent, (iv) tenant reimbursements, (v) straight-line rent, (vi) amortization/accretion of acquired above/below-market lease intangibles and (vii) percentage rents. The amounts assume that early termination options held by tenants will not be exercised.

16. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Excluding ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our business, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Concentration of Risk

Tenant Receivables

We are subject to credit risk with respect to our tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables related to our tenant leases. Our tenants' ability to honor the terms of their respective leases remains dependent upon economic, regulatory and social factors. We seek to minimize our credit risk from our tenant leases by (i) targeting smaller, more affluent office tenants, from a diverse mix of industries, (ii) performing credit evaluations of prospective tenants and (iii) obtaining security deposits or letters of credit from our tenants. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, no tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues. See our revenue recognition policy in Note 2 for the charges to revenue for uncollectible amounts for tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables.

Geographic Risk

All of our properties, including our consolidated JVs and our unconsolidated Fund's properties, are located in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii, and we are therefore susceptible to adverse economic and regulatory developments, as well as natural disasters, in those markets.

Table of Contents

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)

Derivative Counterparty Credit Risk

We are subject to credit risk with respect to our derivative counterparties. We do not post or receive collateral with respect to our derivative transactions. Our derivative contracts do not provide for right of offset between derivative contracts. See Note 10 for the details of our derivative contracts. We seek to minimize our credit risk by entering into agreements with a variety of counterparties with investment grade ratings.

Cash Balances

We have significant cash balances invested in a variety of short-term money market funds that are intended to preserve principal value and maintain a high degree of liquidity while providing current income. These investments are not insured against loss of principal and there is no guarantee that our investments in these funds will be redeemable at par value. We also have significant cash balances in bank accounts with high quality financial institutions with investment grade ratings. Interest bearing bank accounts at each U.S. banking institution are insured by the FDIC up to $250 thousand.

Asset Retirement Obligations

Conditional asset retirement obligations represent a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within our control. A liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation must be recorded if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Environmental site assessments have identified thirty-three buildings in our Consolidated Portfolio which contain asbestos, and would have to be removed in compliance with applicable environmental regulations if these properties are demolished or undergo major renovations.

As of March 31, 2023, the obligations to remove the asbestos from properties which are currently undergoing major renovations, or that we plan to renovate in the future, are not material to our consolidated financial statements. As of March 31, 2023, the obligations to remove the asbestos from our other properties have indeterminable settlement dates, and we are unable to reasonably estimate the fair value of the associated conditional asset retirement obligations.

Contractual Commitments

Development Projects

In downtown Honolulu, we are converting a 25 story, 493,000 square foot office tower into approximately 493 apartments in phases over a number of years as the office space is vacated. As of March 31, 2023, we had an aggregate remaining contractual commitment for this development project and other development projects of approximately $32.5 million.

Other Contractual Commitments

As of March 31, 2023, we had an aggregate remaining contractual commitment for repositionings, capital expenditure projects and tenant improvements of approximately $24.1 million.

Guarantees

Unconsolidated Fund Guarantees

Our unconsolidated Fund, Partnership X, has a $115.0 million floating-rate term loan that matures on September 14, 2028. The loan carries interest at LIBOR + 1.35% (with a zero-percent LIBOR floor), which has been effectively fixed at 2.19% until October 1, 2026 with interest rate swaps (which do not have zero-percent LIBOR floors). The loan is secured by two properties held by Partnership X and is non-recourse.

We have made certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve-outs for Partnership X's loan, and we have also guaranteed the related swaps. Partnership X has agreed to indemnify us for any amounts that we would be required to pay under these agreements. As of March 31, 2023, assuming that LIBOR does not decrease below zero-percent, the maximum future interest payments for the swaps were $3.4 million. As of March 31, 2023, all of the obligations under the related loan and swap agreements have been performed in accordance with the terms of those agreements. See Note 6 for more information regarding Partnership X.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Forward Looking Statements disclaimer, and our consolidated financial statements and related notes in Part I, Item 1 of this Report. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our results of operations were impacted by debt and equity transactions, and development and repositioning projects - see "Debt and Equity Transactions, Development and Repositioning Projects" further below.

Business Description

Douglas Emmett, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT. Through our interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, our consolidated JVs and our unconsolidated Fund, we are one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and in Honolulu, Hawaii. We focus on owning, acquiring, developing and managing a substantial market share of top-tier office properties and premier multifamily communities in neighborhoods that possess significant supply constraints, high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities. As of March 31, 2023, our portfolio consisted of the following (including ancillary retail space and excluding two parcels of land from which we receive rent under ground leases):



	Consolidated Portfolio(1)	Total Portfolio(2)
Office
Class A Properties	68	70
Rentable Square Feet (in thousands)(3)	17,594	17,980
Leased rate	85.6%	85.5%

Properties	14	14
Units	5,032	5,032
Leased rate(4)	99.3%	99.3%
Occupancy rate(4)	97.2%	97.2%

______________________________________________________________________

(1) Our Consolidated Portfolio includes the properties in our consolidated results. Through our subsidiaries, we wholly-own 52 office properties totaling 13.4 million square feet and 12 residential properties with 4,562 apartments. Through four consolidated JVs, we partially own an additional 16 office properties totaling 4.2 million square feet and two residential properties with 470 apartments. Our Consolidated Portfolio excludes two wholly-owned land parcels from which we receive ground rent from ground leases to the owners of a Class A office building and a hotel.

(2) Our Total Portfolio includes our Consolidated Portfolio as well as two properties totaling 0.4 million square feet owned by our unconsolidated Fund, Partnership X. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information about Partnership X.

(3) As of March 31, 2023, we removed 493,000 Rentable Square Feet for an office building that we are converting to residential apartments. See "Debt and Equity Transactions, Development and Repositioning Projects" further below.

(4) Calculations exclude 117 units at one property temporarily unoccupied as a result of a fire. For newly developed buildings going through initial lease up, units are included in both the numerator and denominator as they are leased.

Revenues by Segment and Location

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, revenues from our Consolidated Portfolio were derived as follows:

Debt and Equity Transactions, Development and Repositioning Projects

Debt and Equity Transactions

During the first quarter of 2023:

•Interest rate swaps, which fixed the interest rate on a $400.0 million interest-only, floating-rate term loan that matures in December 2024 for one of our consolidated JV's, expired on January 1, 2023, and the interest rate on the respective loan is now floating.

•Interest rate swaps, which fixed the interest rate on a $335.0 million interest-only, floating-rate term loan that matures in March 2025 for one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, expired on March 1, 2023, and the interest rate on the respective loan is now floating.

•An interest rate swap that fixed the interest rate on a $102.4 million interest-only, floating-rate term loan that matures in April 2025 for one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries, expired on March 1, 2023, and the interest rate on the respective loan is now floating.

•We repurchased 1.4 million shares of common stock for $16.5 million in cash, excluding transaction costs, in open market transactions. The average purchase price was $11.50 per share.

See Notes 8, 10 and 11 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our debt, derivatives and equity, respectively.

Development

•1132 Bishop Street, Honolulu, Hawaii - "The Residences at Bishop Place"

In downtown Honolulu, we are converting a 25-story, 493 thousand square foot office tower into 493 rental apartments. This project is helping to address the severe shortage of rental housing in Honolulu and revitalize the central business district, where we own a significant portion of the Class A office space. As of March 31, 2023, we had delivered seventy-six-percent of the planned units and leased all of the units delivered. The conversion will continue in phases through 2025 as the remaining office space is vacated, therefore, the expected timing of the remaining spending is uncertain.

Repositionings

We often strategically purchase properties with large vacancies or expected near-term lease roll-over and use our knowledge of the property and submarket to reposition the property for the optimal use and tenant mix. In addition, we may reposition properties already in our portfolio. The work we undertake to reposition a building typically takes months or even years, and could involve a range of improvements from a complete structural renovation to a targeted remodeling of selected spaces. During the repositioning, the affected property may display depressed rental revenue and occupancy levels that impact our results and, therefore, comparisons of our performance from period to period.

Rental Rate Trends - Total Portfolio

Office Rental Rates

The table below presents the average annual rental rate per leased square foot and the annualized lease transaction costs per leased square foot for leases executed in our total office portfolio during the respective periods:



	Three Months Ended	Year Ended December 31,
	March 31, 2023	2022	2021	2020	2019

Average straight-line rental rate(1)(2)(4)	$44.14	$46.78	$44.99	$45.26	$49.65
Annualized lease transaction costs(3)(4)	$5.37	$5.85	$4.77	$5.11	$6.02

___________________________________________________

(1)These average rental rates are not directly comparable from year to year because the averages are significantly affected from period to period by factors such as the buildings, submarkets, and types of space and terms involved in the leases executed during the respective reporting period. Because straight-line rent takes into account the full economic value during the full term of each lease, including rent concessions and escalations, we believe that it may provide a better comparison than ending cash rents, which include the impact of the annual escalations over the entire term of the lease.

(2)Reflects the weighted average straight-line Annualized Rent.

(3)Reflects the weighted average leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances divided by the weighted average number of years for the leases. Excludes leases substantially negotiated by the seller in the case of acquired properties and leases for tenants relocated from space at the landlord's request.

(4)Our office rental rates were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020, 2021 and 2022, although the lower rental rates for the respective periods were partly offset by lower tenant improvement costs.

Office Rent Roll

The table below presents the rent roll for new and renewed leases per leased square foot executed in our total office portfolio:



	Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

Rent Roll(1)(2)	Expiring Rate(2)	New/Renewal Rate(2)	Percentage Change

Cash Rent	$45.62	$42.59	(6.7)%
Straight-line Rent	$41.66	$44.14	6.0%

___________________________________________________

(1)Represents the average annual initial stabilized cash and straight-line rents per square foot on new and renewed leases signed during the period compared to the prior leases for the same space. Excludes leases with a term of twelve months or less, leases where the prior lease was terminated more than a year before signing of the new lease, leases for tenants relocated at the landlord's request, leases in acquired buildings where we believe the information about the prior agreement is incomplete or where we believe the base rent reflects other off-market inducements to the tenant, and other non-comparable leases.

(2)Our office rent roll can fluctuate from period to period as a result of changes in our submarkets, buildings and term of the expiring leases, making these metrics difficult to predict.

Multifamily Rental Rates

The table below presents the average annual rental rate per leased unit for new tenants:



	Three Months Ended	Year Ended December 31,
	March 31, 2023	2022	2021	2020	2019

Average annual rental rate - new tenants(1)(2)	$34,036	$31,763	$29,837	$28,416	$28,350

_____________________________________________________

(1) These average rental rates are not directly comparable from year to year because of changes in the properties and units included. For example:

(i) During 2020, the average was impacted by the addition of a significant number of units at our Bishop Place development in Honolulu, where the rental rates were higher than the average in our portfolio, and

(ii) During 2022, the average was impacted by the acquisition of 1221 Ocean Avenue, where the rental rates were higher than the average in our portfolio.

(iii) During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the average was impacted by leasing of units at our newly developed West Los Angeles property, where the rental rates were higher than the average in our portfolio.

(2) Our multifamily rental rates were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 but improved in 2021 and 2022.

Multifamily Rent Roll

The rent on leases subject to rent change during the three months ended March 31, 2023 (new tenants and existing tenants undergoing annual rent review) was 1.2% higher on average than the prior rent on the same unit.

Occupancy Rates - Total Portfolio

The tables below present the occupancy rates for our total office portfolio and multifamily portfolio:

Multifamily portfolio(3)(5)	97.6%	97.9%	96.8%	94.2%	96.5%

___________________________________________________

(1)Occupancy rates include the impact of property acquisitions, most of whose occupancy rates at the time of acquisition were below that of our existing portfolio.

(2)Our office occupancy rates were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020, 2021 and 2022.

(3)Our Occupancy Rates may not be directly comparable from year to year, as they can be impacted by acquisitions, dispositions, development and redevelopment projects. Multifamily calculations exclude 117 units at one property temporarily unoccupied as a result of a fire.

(4)Average occupancy rates are calculated by averaging the occupancy rates at the end of each of the quarters in the period and at the end of the quarter immediately prior to the start of the period.

(5)Our multifamily occupancy rates were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020 but recovered during 2021 and 2022.

Office Lease Expirations

As of March 31, 2023, assuming non-exercise of renewal options and early termination rights, we expect to see expiring square footage in our total office portfolio as follows:

____________________________________________________

(1) Average of the percentage of leases at March 31, 2020, 2021, and 2022 with the same remaining duration as the leases for the labeled year had at March 31, 2023. Acquisitions are included in the prior year average commencing in the quarter after the acquisition.

Results of Operations

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2023 to three months ended March 31, 2022

Our operating results were adversely impacted by the effects of inflation and higher interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and by the COVID-19 pandemic during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: FFO

Usefulness to Investors

We report FFO because it is a widely reported measure of the performance of equity REITs, and is also used by some investors to identify the impact of trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs from year to year, excluding impacts from changes in the value of our real estate, and to compare our performance with other REITs. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure for which we believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. FFO has limitations as a measure of our performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate, and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations. FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a measure of our liquidity or cash flow, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to the FFO of other REITs. See "Results of Operations" above for a discussion of the items that impacted our net income.

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2023 to three months ended March 31, 2022

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, FFO decreased by $5.2 million, or 5.0%, to $98.6 million, compared to $103.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in NOI from our office portfolio and higher interest expense, partly offset by an increase in NOI from our multifamily portfolio and higher interest income. The decrease in NOI from our office portfolio was primarily due to lower occupancy and tenant recoveries, and higher rental expenses. The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher interest rates, higher debt, and a decrease in interest capitalized related to development activity. The increase in NOI from our multifamily portfolio was primarily due to: (i) our acquisition of the 1221 Ocean Avenue property in Santa Monica in the second quarter of 2022, (ii) new units from our development projects, and (iii) higher rental rates. The increase in interest income was primarily due to higher interest rates.

Reconciliation to GAAP

The table below reconciles our FFO (the FFO attributable to our common stockholders and noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership - which includes our share of our consolidated JVs and our unconsolidated Fund's FFO) to net income attributable to common stockholders (the most directly comparable GAAP measure):

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Same Property NOI

Usefulness to Investors

We report Same Property NOI to facilitate a comparison of our operations between reported periods. Many investors use Same Property NOI to evaluate our operating performance and to compare our operating performance with other REITs, because it can reduce the impact of investing transactions on operating trends. Same Property NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure for which we believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. We report Same Property NOI because it is a widely recognized measure of the performance of equity REITs, and is used by some investors to identify trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs and to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. Same Property NOI has limitations as a measure of our performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization expense, and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations. Other REITs may not calculate Same Property NOI in the same manner. As a result, our Same Property NOI may not be comparable to the Same Property NOI of other REITs. Same Property NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a measure of our liquidity or cash flow, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2023 to three months ended March 31, 2022

Our Same Properties for 2023 included 67 office properties, aggregating 17.6 million Rentable Square Feet, and 10 multifamily properties with an aggregate 3,449 units. The amounts presented below reflect 100% (not our pro-rata share). Our Same Property results were adversely impacted by the effects of inflation during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and by the COVID-19 pandemic during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Short-term liquidity

Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for our operating activities, development, repositioning projects, dividends, distributions and discretionary share repurchases. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we generated cash from operations of $145.5 million. As of March 31, 2023, we had $302.0 million of cash and cash equivalents, and we had no balance outstanding on our $400.0 million revolving credit facility. Our earliest term loan maturity is December 2024. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our debt. Excluding acquisitions and debt refinancings, we expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through cash on hand, cash generated by operations and our revolving credit facility.

Long-term liquidity

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, development and debt refinancings. We do not expect to have sufficient funds on hand to cover these long-term cash requirements due to REIT federal tax rules which require that we distribute at least 90% of our income on an annual basis. We plan to meet our long-term liquidity needs through long-term secured non-recourse debt, the issuance of equity securities, including common stock and OP Units, as well as property dispositions and JV transactions. We have an ATM program which would allow us, subject to market conditions, to sell up to $400.0 million of shares of common stock.

We only use non-recourse debt secured by our properties. As of March 31, 2023, approximately 45% of our total office portfolio was unencumbered, and approximately 14% of our residential portfolio was unencumbered. To mitigate the impact of changing interest rates on our cash flows from operations, we generally enter into interest rate swap agreements with respect to our loans with floating interest rates. These swap agreements generally expire two years before the maturity date of the related loan, during which time we can refinance the loan without any interest penalty. See Notes 8 and 10 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our debt and derivative contracts, respectively. See Item 3 "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk" of this Report regarding the impact of interest rate increases on our future operating results and cash flows.

Certain Contractual Obligations

See the following notes to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for information regarding our contractual commitments:

•Note 4 - minimum future ground lease payments;

•Note 8 - minimum future principal payments for our secured notes payable and revolving credit facility, and the interest rates that determine our future periodic interest payments; and

•Note 16 - contractual commitments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Fund Debt

Our Fund, Partnership X, has its own secured non-recourse debt and interest rate swaps. We have made certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve-outs related to that loan, and we have also guaranteed the interest rate swaps. Partnership X has agreed to indemnify us for any amounts that we would be required to pay under these agreements. As of March 31, 2023, all of the obligations under the respective loan and swap agreements have been performed in accordance with the terms of those agreements. See "Guarantees" in Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information about our Fund's debt and swaps, and the respective guarantees.

Cash Flows

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2023 to three months ended March 31, 2022

Our operating cash flows were adversely impacted by the effects of inflation and higher interest rates during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and by the COVID-19 pandemic during the three months ended March 31, 2022.



	Three Months Ended March 31,				Increase (Decrease) In Cash
	2023		2022				%
	(In thousands)

Net cash provided by operating activities(1)	$	145,474	$	139,470	$	6,004	4.3	%
Net cash used in investing activities(2)	$	(51,403)	$	(72,944)	$	21,541	29.5	%
Net cash used in financing activities(3)	$	(60,929)	$	(65,157)	$	4,228	(6.5)	%

________________________________________________________________________

(1) Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon the occupancy and rental rates of our portfolio, the collectibility of tenant receivables, the level of our operating and general and administrative expenses, and interest expense. The increase in cash from operating activities of $6.0 million was primarily due to an increase in NOI from our multifamily portfolio, an increase in cash from working capital, and higher interest income, partly offset by a decrease in NOI from our office portfolio and higher interest paid.

(2) Our cash flows from investing activities is generally used to fund property acquisitions, developments and redevelopment projects, and Recurring and non-Recurring Capital Expenditures. The increase in cash from investing activities of $21.5 million was primarily due to: (i) a deposit of $25.0 million for a property acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2022, and (ii) a decrease in capital expenditures for developments of $8.8 million, partly offset by an increase in capital expenditures for improvements to real estate of $11.5 million.

(3) Our cash flows from financing activities are generally impacted by our borrowings and capital activities, as well as dividends and distributions paid to common stockholders and noncontrolling interests, respectively. The increase in cash from financing activities of $4.2 million was primarily due to a decrease in dividends paid to common stockholders of $15.7 million, and a decrease in distributions paid to noncontrolling interests of $5.3 million, partly offset by cash paid to repurchase common stock of $16.5 million..

Critical Accounting Policies

We have not made any changes to our critical accounting policies disclosed in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with US GAAP, and which requires us to make estimates of certain items, which affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. While we believe that our estimates are based upon reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time that they are made, some of our estimates could prove to be incorrect, and those differences could be material. Some of our estimates are subject to adjustment as we believe appropriate, based on revised estimates, and reconciliation to actual results when available.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Hedging our Floating Rate Borrowings

As of March 31, 2023, the interest rates for 73% of our consolidated borrowings were fixed or swap-fixed with interest rate swaps. Our use of interest rate swaps exposes us to credit risk from the potential inability of our counterparties to perform under the terms of those agreements. We attempt to minimize this credit risk by contracting with a variety of financial counterparties with investment grade ratings. As of March 31, 2023, the interest expense for our floating rate borrowings that are not hedged would increase by $14.1 million per year for every one hundred basis point increase in the related benchmark interest rate. See Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for our future swap expirations. Higher interest rates would cause an increase in our future interest expense, which would reduce our future net income and cash flows from operations.

Market Transition to SOFR from USD-LIBOR

On March 5, 2021, the FCA announced that USD-LIBOR would no longer be published after June 30, 2023. This announcement has several implications, including setting the type of SOFR to which LIBOR is converted (e.g., Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR or Daily Compounded SOFR) and agreeing on a spread that may be applied when converting contracts from USD-LIBOR to SOFR. As of March 31, 2023, most of our floating rate borrowings and interest rate swaps are indexed to USD-LIBOR, and we currently expect that all of these loans and interest rate swaps will be converted to SOFR by July 1, 2023. We are evaluating issues relating to transitioning contracts to SOFR, which include, among other issues, the calculation of: (i) loan interest payments, (ii) swap interest payments, and (iii) the value of, and accounting for, loans and swaps. While we currently expect USD-LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until at least June 30, 2023, it is possible that USD-LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that time. This could occur if, for example, sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to SOFR will be accelerated and potentially magnified.

See Notes 8 and 10 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our debt and interest rate swaps.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of March 31, 2023, the end of the period covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our CEO and CFO, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on the foregoing, our CEO and CFO concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. Excluding ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are not aware of any material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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

Purchases of equity securities by the issuer and affiliated purchasers.

In December 2022, our board authorized the repurchase of up to $300 million of our outstanding common shares under a newly established share repurchase program. Purchases may be made from time to time in the open market, through privately negotiated transactions or through other means as permitted by federal securities laws, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchases will be determined in the discretion of company’s management depending on business, economic and market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, alternative uses for capital and other considerations. The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time and does not obligate us to make any purchases of our stock.

The table below summarizes the repurchases of our common stock during the first quarter of 2023:


Period	Total number of shares purchased	Average price paid per share	Total number of shares purchased as part of publicly announced program	Maximum dollar value of shares that may yet be purchased under the program
