EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2020 of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “our Company” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “our operating partnership” or “the operating partnership” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the sole general partner of our operating partnership. As of March 31, 2020, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. owned approximately 99.0% of the ownership interest in our operating partnership (including unvested restricted units). The remaining approximately 1.0% interest was owned by certain of our executive officers, directors and outside investors, including unvested operating partnership performance units. As the sole general partner of our operating partnership, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for our operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control.
We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and the operating partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:
•enhancing investors’ understanding of our Company and our operating partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
•eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosures apply to both our Company and our operating partnership; and
•creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
There are a few differences between our Company and our operating partnership, which are reflected in the disclosures in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between our Company and our operating partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is a REIT, the only material assets of which are the units of partnership interest in our operating partnership. As a result, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of our operating partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of our operating partnership. Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. itself does not issue any indebtedness but guarantees some of the debt of our operating partnership. Our operating partnership, which is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity, holds substantially all of the assets of our Company and conducts substantially all of our business. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., which are generally contributed to our operating partnership in exchange for units of partnership interest in our operating partnership, our operating partnership generates the capital required by our Company’s business through its operations, its incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of units of partnership interest in our operating partnership.
Non-controlling interest, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of our Company and those of our operating partnership. The common units in our operating partnership are accounted for as partners’ capital in our operating partnership’s consolidated financial statements and, to the extent not held by our Company, as a non-controlling interest in our Company’s consolidated financial statements. The differences between stockholders’ equity, partners’ capital and non-controlling interest result from the differences in the equity issued by our Company and our operating partnership.
To help investors understand the significant differences between our Company and our operating partnership, this report presents the consolidated financial statements and Note 15—Earnings Per Share separately for our Company and our operating partnership. All other sections of this report, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” are presented together for our Company and our operating partnership.
In order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that our Company and our operating partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act and 18 U.S.C. §1350, this report also includes separate Part I, Item 4 “Controls and Procedures” sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and our operating partnership.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and the operating partnership are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. References to number of properties and square feet are not covered by the auditor’s review procedures.
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, 2020. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. and the notes thereto.

Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, the operating partnership and all wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the operating partnership include the accounts of the operating partnership and all wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
Under the consolidation guidance, the Company first evaluates an entity using the variable interest model, then the voting model. The Company ultimately consolidates all entities that the Company controls through either majority ownership or voting rights, including all variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The Company accounts for all other unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. In addition, the Company continually evaluates each legal entity that is not wholly-owned for reconsideration based on changing circumstances.
VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have:
•the characteristics of a controlling financial interest;
•sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; and/or
•the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights.
The entity that consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has determined its operating partnership and five joint ventures met the definition of a VIE. Four of the joint ventures are consolidated and one of the joint ventures is unconsolidated.
Consolidated Joint Ventures
As of March 31, 2020, the operating partnership has determined that four of its joint ventures met the definition of a VIE and are consolidated:
Entity | Property | Ownership Interest | ||||||||||||
Hudson 1455 Market, L.P. | 1455 Market | 55.0 | % | |||||||||||
Hudson 1099 Stewart, L.P. | Hill7 | 55.0 | % | |||||||||||
HPP-MAC WSP, LLC | One Westside and 10850 Pico | 75.0 | % | |||||||||||
Hudson One Ferry REIT, L.P. | Ferry Building | 55.0 | % |
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company has determined that its operating partnership met the definition of a VIE and is consolidated.
Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are related to the operating partnership VIE.
Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
As of March 31, 2020, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of one joint venture. Due to its significant influence over the unconsolidated entity, the Company accounts for the entity using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company initially records the investment at cost and subsequently adjusts for equity in earnings or losses and cash contributions and distributions.
On June 5, 2019, the Company purchased, pursuant to a co-ownership agreement with Blackstone, the Bentall Centre property located in Vancouver, Canada. The joint venture property-owning entity is structured as a tenancy in common under applicable tax laws. The Company owns 20% of this joint venture and serves as the operating partner. The Company’s net equity investment of this unconsolidated entity is reflected within investment in unconsolidated real estate entity on the Consolidated
16
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage, share and unit data)
Balance Sheets. The Company’s share of net income or loss from the entity is included within loss from unconsolidated real estate entity on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Refer to Note 4 for details.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of 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 commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing and assessing the carrying values of its real estate properties, determining the incremental borrowing rate used in the present value calculations of its new or modified operating lessee agreements, its accrued liabilities and its performance-based equity compensation awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could materially differ from these estimates.
Lease Accounting
In February 2016, the FASB issued guidance codified in ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), which amends the guidance in former ASC 840, Leases (“ASC 840”). The standard sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease agreement (i.e., lessees and lessors). The new standard increases transparency and comparability most significantly by requiring the recognition by lessees of right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet for those leases classified as operating leases. The Company adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition approach that must be applied for leases that exist or are entered into after January 1, 2019.
ASC 842 requires companies to identify lease and non-lease components of a lease agreement. Lease components relate to the right to use the leased asset whereas non-lease components relate to payments for goods or services that are transferred separately from the right to use the underlying asset.
Lessee Accounting
The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. The Company’s operating lease agreements relate to ground lease assets and are reflected in operating lease ROU assets and operating lease liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Variable lease payments are excluded from the ROU assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company determines its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date, or the date of the ASC 842 adoption, in determining the present value of lease payments. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate used to calculate the ROU assets and liabilities was 5.7%. ROU assets also include any lease payments made and exclude lease incentives. Many of the Company’s lessee agreements include options to extend the lease, which we do not include in its minimum lease terms unless the option is reasonably certain to be exercised. Rental expense for lease payments related to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The weighted average remaining lease term, as of March 31, 2020, was 32 years.
Lessor Accounting
The presentation of revenues on the Consolidated Statement of Operations reflects a single lease component that combines rental, tenant recoveries, and other tenant-related revenues for the office portfolio, with the election of the lessor practical expedient. For the Company’s rentals at the studio properties, total lease consideration is allocated to lease and non-lease components on a relative standalone basis. The recognition of revenues related to lease components is governed by ASC 842, while revenue related to non-lease components is subject to ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”).

Revenue Recognition
The Company has compiled an inventory of its sources of revenues and has identified the following material revenue streams: (i) rental revenues (ii) tenant recoveries and other tenant-related revenues (iii) ancillary revenues (iv) other revenues and (v) sale of real estate.
Revenue Stream | Components | Financial Statement Location | ||||||||||||
Rental revenues | Office rentals, stage rentals and storage rentals | Office and studio segments: rental | ||||||||||||
Tenant recoveries and other tenant-related revenues | Reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, other operating expenses and must-take parking revenues | Office segment: rental Studio segment: rental and service revenues and other | ||||||||||||
Ancillary revenues | Revenues derived from tenants’ use of lighting, equipment rental, power, HVAC and telecommunications (i.e., telephone and internet) | Studio segment: service revenues and other | ||||||||||||
Other revenues | Parking revenue that is not associated with lease agreements and other | Office and studio segments: service revenues and other | ||||||||||||
Sale of real estate | Gains on sales derived from cash consideration less cost basis | Gains on sale of real estate |
The Company recognizes rental revenue from tenants on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is probable and the tenant has taken possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset.
The Company recognizes tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance, and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period during which the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recognized and presented gross, as the Company is generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, has discretion in selecting the supplier and bears the associated credit risk.
Other tenant-related revenues includes parking stipulated in lease agreements as must-take parking rentals. These revenues are recognized over the term of the lease.
Ancillary revenues and other revenues have been accounted for under ASC 606. These revenues have single performance obligations and are recognized at the point in time when services are rendered.
The following table summarizes the Company’s revenue streams that are accounted for under ASC 606:
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||
2020 | 2019 | |||||||||||||
Ancillary revenues | $ | 5,799 | $ | 8,116 | ||||||||||
Other revenues | $ | 5,955 | $ | 6,407 | ||||||||||
Studio-related tenant recoveries | $ | 445 | $ | 275 |
The following table summarizes the Company’s receivables that are accounted for under ASC 606:
March 31, 2020 | December 31, 2019 | |||||||||||||
Ancillary revenues | $ | 1,128 | $ | 1,652 | ||||||||||
Other revenues | $ | 1,970 | $ | 2,417 | ||||||||||
Studio-related tenant recoveries | $ | 8 | $ | 26 |
In regards to sale of real estate, the Company applies certain recognition and measurement principles in accordance with ASC 606. The Company is required to evaluate the sales of real estate based on transfer of control. If a real estate sale contract includes ongoing involvement with the sold property by the seller, the seller must evaluate each promised good or service under the contract to determine whether it represents a performance obligation, constitutes a guarantee or prevents the transfer of control. The timing and pattern of revenue recognition might change as it relates to gains on sale of real estate if the sale includes continued involvement that represents a separate performance obligation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (Topic 326), which changed the impairment model for most financial instruments by requiring companies to recognize an allowance for expected losses, rather than incurred losses. ASC 326 applies to the Company’s receivables related to service revenues and parking revenue that is not associated with lease agreements. The accounting standard was adopted on January 1, 2020 using modified retrospective transition approach. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.
On April 10, 2020, the FASB issued a Staff Q&A related to the application of the lease guidance in ASC 842 for the accounting impact of lease concessions related to the COVID-19 pandemic. The FASB staff believes that it would be acceptable for entities to make an election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under ASC 842 as though enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed. As a result of this election, for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, an entity will not have to analyze each contract to determine whether enforceable rights and obligations for concessions exist in the contract and can elect to apply or not apply the lease modification guidance in ASC 842, as long as the concessions do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. To date, the impact of lease concessions granted has not had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to evaluate the impact of accounting for lease concessions and the impact of this Q&A.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The Company assesses the carrying value of real estate assets and related intangibles whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable in accordance with GAAP. Impairment losses are recorded on real estate assets held for investment when indicators of impairment are present and the future undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the assets’ carrying amount. The Company recognizes impairment losses to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, based on Level 1 or Level 2 inputs, less estimated costs to sell.
The Company did not recognize impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2020. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded $52.2 million of impairment charges related to the Campus Center office property that was held for sale at March 31, 2019 and was subsequently sold. The Company’s estimated fair value was based on the sale price (Level 2 input).

The Company’s derivatives are classified as Level 2 and their fair values are derived from estimated values obtained from observable market data for similar instruments.
The fair market value of derivatives is presented on a gross basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes the Company’s derivative instruments as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019:

11. Income Taxes
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2010. Provided it continues to qualify for taxation as a REIT, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders. The Company has elected, together with certain of its subsidiaries, to treat each such subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes.
In general, the Company’s property-owning subsidiaries are limited liability companies and are treated as pass-through entities or disregarded entities (or, in the case of the entities that own the 1455 Market, Hill7 and Ferry Building properties, REITs) for federal income tax purposes. In the case of the Bentall Centre property, the Company owns its interest in the property through a non-U.S entity treated as a TRS for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the activities of these entities.
The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of March 31, 2020, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.
The Company and certain of its TRSs file income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company and its TRSs are no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2015. The Company has assessed its tax positions for all open years, which include 2015 to 2019, and concluded that there are no material uncertainties to be recognized.

13. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
•Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
•Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
•Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
The Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value on a recurring basis include the following as of:

Other Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value, using Level 1 inputs, because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Fair value for investment in U.S. Government securities are estimated based on Level 1 inputs. Fair values for debt are estimated based on rates currently prevailing for similar instruments of similar maturities using Level 2 inputs.

14. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has various stock compensation arrangements, which are more fully described in the 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Under the 2010 Incentive Plan, as amended (“2010 Plan”), the Company’s board of directors (“Board”) has the ability to grant, among other things, restricted stock, restricted stock units, operating partnership performance units and performance-based awards.
The Board awards restricted shares to non-employee Board members on an annual basis as part of such Board members’ annual compensation and to newly elected non-employee Board members in accordance with the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. The time-based awards are generally issued in the second quarter, in conjunction with the director’s election to the Board, and the individual share awards vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which is three years.
The Board awards time-based restricted shares or time-based operating partnership performance units to certain employees on an annual basis as part of the employees’ annual compensation. These time-based awards are generally issued in the fourth quarter and vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which is generally three years. Additionally, certain awards are subject to a mandatory holding period upon vesting if the grantee is a named executive officer.
The Compensation Committee adopted a Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Outperformance Program (“OPP Plan”) under the 2010 Plan through 2019. With respect to OPP Plan awards granted through 2016, to the extent an award is earned following the completion of a -year performance period, 50% of the earned award will vest in full at the end of the -year performance period and 50% of the earned award will vest in equal annual installments over the two years thereafter, subject to the participant’s continued employment. OPP Plan awards are settled in common stock and, in the case of certain executives, in operating partnership performance units. Commencing with the 2017 OPP Plan, the -year post-performance vesting period was replaced with a -year mandatory holding period upon vesting.
Beginning in 2020, the Compensation Committee adopted an annual Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Performance Stock Unit Plan (“PSU Plan”). Effective January 1, 2020, the Compensation Committee awarded to certain employees performance units in the operating partnership (“2020 PSU Plan”). The 2020 PSU Plan grant consists of two portions. A portion of each performance unit award, the Relative TSR Performance Unit, is eligible to vest based on the achievement of the Company’s total shareholder return compared to the total shareholder return of the SNL U.S. REIT Office Index over a -year performance period beginning January 1, 2020 and ending December 31, 2022, with the vesting percentage subject to certain percentage targets. The remaining portion of each Performance Unit award, the Operational Performance Unit, generally is eligible to vest based on the achievement of operational performance metrics over a -year performance period beginning January 1, 2020 and ending December 31, 2020,
30

will vest over three years. The number of Operational Performance Units that become eligible to vest based on the achievement of operational performance metrics may be adjusted based on the Company’s achievement of absolute total shareholder return goals over the -year performance period commencing January 1, 2020 and ending December 31, 2022, by applying the applicable vesting percentages.

15. Earnings Per Share
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.
The Company calculates basic earnings per share by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. The Company calculates diluted earnings per share by dividing the diluted net income available 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 or the if-converted method, whichever is more dilutive. Unvested time-based restricted stock awards, unvested time-based performance unit awards and unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

16. Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest
Redeemable Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, there were 392,598 series A preferred units of partnership interest in the operating partnership, or series A preferred units, which are not owned by the Company.
These series A preferred units are entitled to preferential distributions at a rate of 6.25% per annum on the liquidation preference of $25.00 per unit and became convertible at the option of the holder into common units or redeemable into cash or, at the Company’s election, exchangeable for registered shares of common stock.
Redeemable Non-Controlling Interest in Consolidated Real Estate Entities
On March 1, 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Macerich WSP, LLC (“Macerich”) to form HPP-MAC WSP, LLC (“HPP-MAC JV”). On August 31, 2018, Macerich contributed Westside Pavilion to the HPP-MAC JV. The Company has a 75% interest in the joint venture that owns the One Westside and 10850 Pico properties. The Company has a put right, after a specified time, to sell its interest at fair market value. Macerich has a put right, after a specified time, to sell its interest at fair market value, which is a redemption right that is not solely within the control of the Company. The put right is not currently redeemable. Therefore, the non-controlling interest related to this joint venture is included as temporary equity. Once the redemption is probable, the carrying amount will be marked to market with the change in value reflected in additional paid-in capital.
On October 9, 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture with Allianz to purchase the Ferry Building property. The Company has a 55% interest in the joint venture that owns the Ferry Building property. The Company has a put right, if certain events occur, to sell its interest at fair market value.

Non-Controlling Interests
Common Units in the Operating Partnership
Common units of the operating partnership and shares of common stock of the Company have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of the operating partnership. Investors who own common units have the right to cause the operating partnership to repurchase any or all of their common units for cash at a per unit value equal to the then-current market value of one share of common stock. However, in lieu of such payment of cash, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. may, at its election, issue shares of its common stock in exchange for such common units on a one-for-one basis.

Performance Units in the Operating Partnership
Performance units are partnership interests in the operating partnership. Each performance unit awarded will be deemed equivalent to an award of one share of common stock under the 2010 Plan, reducing the availability for other equity awards on a one-for-one basis. Under the terms of the performance units, the operating partnership will revalue its assets for tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain specified events and any increase in valuation from the time of grant until such event will be allocated first to the holders of performance units to equalize the capital accounts of such holders (on a per unit basis) with the capital accounts of common unitholders. Once vested and having achieved parity with common unitholders, performance units generally are convertible into common units in the operating partnership on a one-for-one basis.

As of December 31, 2019, this amount represents both common units and performance units of 550,969 and 360,889, respectively.
Common Stock Activity
The Company has not completed any common stock offerings in 2020.
The Company’s at-the-market, or “ATM”, program permits sales of up to $125.0 million of common stock. The Company did not utilize the ATM program during the three months ended March 31, 2020. A cumulative total of $20.1 million has been sold as of March 31, 2020.
Share Repurchase Program
The Company is authorized to repurchase up to a total $250.0 million shares of its common stock under its share repurchase program. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased $35.4 million shares of its common stock. Since commencement of the program, a cumulative total of $85.4 million has been repurchased. The Company may make repurchases under the program at any time in its discretion, subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors.

Taxability of Dividends
Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of distributions to stockholders, may differ from income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal income tax purposes in the treatment of loss on extinguishment of debt, revenue recognition, compensation expense and the basis of depreciable assets and estimated useful lives used to compute depreciation.
18. Segment Reporting
The Company’s reporting segments are based on the Company’s method of internal reporting, which classifies its operations into two reporting segments: (i) office properties and (ii) studio properties. The Company evaluates performance based upon net operating income of the combined properties in each segment. General and administrative expenses and interest expense are not included in segment profit as its internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level. Asset information by segment is not reported because the Company does not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources, therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments.
The table below presents the operating activity of the Company’s reportable segments:

20. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal
From time to time, the Company is party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings arising out of, or incident to, the ordinary course of business. Management believes, based in part upon consultation with legal counsel, that the ultimate resolution of all such claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows. As of March 31, 2020, the risk of material loss from such legal actions impacting the Company’s financial condition or results from operations has been assessed as remote.
Letters of Credit
As of March 31, 2020, the Company has outstanding letters of credit totaling approximately $3.4 million under the unsecured revolving credit facility. The letters of credit are primarily related to utility company security deposit requirements.

22. Subsequent Events
The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business and across its portfolio, including how it will impact its tenants. While the Company did not experience significant disruptions during the three months ended March 31, 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic, it is unable to predict the impact the COVID-19 pandemic will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties.
In April, as is likely the case with all landlords, the Company received certain rent relief requests, predominantly in the form of rent deferral requests, as a result of COVID-19. The Company is carefully evaluating each tenant rent relief request on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. Not all tenant requests will ultimately result in modification agreements, and (to the extent practical) the Company is not forgoing its contractual rights under its lease agreements. As of May 1, 2020, the Company has executed deferrals in the amount of $2.2 million and an additional $0.4 million in abatements. Another $1.3 million remains in discussion for either payment or deferral. Some of our tenants have subsequently begun to avail themselves of the various federal and state relief funds, such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) and the
37
Table of Contents

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage, share and unit data)
Paycheck Protection Program, which can be utilized partially to meet rental obligations. April collections and rent relief requests to-date may not be indicative of collections or requests in any future period. We will continue to work closely with our impacted tenants to address their concerns on a case-by-case basis, seeking solutions that address immediate cash flow interruptions while maintaining long term lease obligations.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our rental revenue for the second quarter of 2020 and thereafter cannot be determined at present. The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid, and we are actively managing our response in collaboration with tenants, government officials and business partners and assessing potential impacts to our financial position and operating results, as well as potential adverse developments in our business.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion relates to our consolidated financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes, see Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.”, “Financial Statements of Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.” and “Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.” Statements in this Item 2 contain forward-looking statements. For a discussion of forward-looking statements, important risks related to our business, and related to investing in our securities, including risks that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from results and events refer to the forward-looking statements section in this Item 2.
Forward-looking Statements
Certain written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to time by us or our representatives in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other filings or reports filed with the SEC, press releases, conferences, or otherwise, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act). In particular, statements relating to our liquidity and capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Furthermore, all of the statements regarding future financial performance (including anticipated funds from operations, or FFO, market conditions and demographics) are forward-looking statements. We are including this cautionary statement to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any such forward-looking statements. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or that management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which were based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends. Additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties is contained in our other periodic filings with the SEC.
Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, liquidity or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
•adverse economic or real estate developments in our target markets;
•general economic conditions;
•defaults on, early terminations of or non-renewal of leases by tenants;
•fluctuations in interest rates and increased operating costs;
•our failure to obtain necessary outside financing or maintain an investment grade rating;
•our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness and maintain dividend payments;
•lack or insufficient amounts of insurance;
•decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;
•difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions;
•our failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations;
39
Table of Contents
•our failure to maintain our status as a REIT;
•environmental uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters;
•financial market and foreign currency fluctuations;
•risks related to acquisitions generally, including the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and the impact on customers, tenants, lenders, operating results and business;
•the inability to successfully integrate acquired properties, realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or capitalize on value creation opportunities;
•the impact of changes in the tax laws as a result of recent federal tax reform legislation and uncertainty as to how some of those changes may be applied;
•changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates; and
•other factors affecting the real estate industry generally, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Additionally, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.
Impact of COVID-19
The following discussion is intended to provide stockholders with certain information regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business and management’s efforts to respond to that impact. Unless otherwise specified, the statistical and other information regarding the Company’s portfolio and tenants are estimates based on information available to the Company as of May 1, 2020. As a result of the rapid development, fluidity and uncertainty surrounding this situation, the Company expects that such statistical and other information will change, potentially significantly, going forward and may not be indicative of the actual impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business, operations, cash flows and financial condition for the second quarter of 2020 and future periods.
We are closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business and geographies, including how it will impact our tenants and business partners. While we did not incur significant disruptions during the three months ended March 31, 2020 from the COVID-19 pandemic, we are unable to predict the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties. These uncertainties include the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. The spread of COVID-19 is having a significant impact on the global economy, the U.S. economy, the economies of the local markets throughout the west coast in which the Company’s properties are located, and the broader financial markets. Nearly every industry has been impacted directly or indirectly, and the commercial real estate market has come under pressure due to numerous factors, including preventative measures taken by local, state and federal authorities to alleviate the public health crisis such as mandatory business closures, quarantines, restrictions on travel and “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders. These containment measures, which generally do not apply to businesses designated as “essential,” are affecting the operations of different categories of the Company’s tenancy to varying degrees with, for example, “essential businesses” generally permitted to remain open and operational, storefront retail and restaurants generally limited to take-out and delivery services only, and non-essential businesses generally forced to temporarily close, curtail operations and/or implement work-from-home strategies. There is uncertainty as to the time, date and extent to which these restrictions will be relaxed or lifted, businesses of tenants that have temporarily been disrupted, either voluntarily or by mandate, will resume normal operations or when customers will re-engage with tenants as they have in the past. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry directly or indirectly, including industries in which the Company and our tenants operate. Further, the impacts of a potential worsening of global economic conditions and the
40
Table of Contents
continued disruptions to, and volatility in, the credit and financial markets, consumer spending as well as other unanticipated consequences remain unknown.
The Company specializes in the ownership and management of office and studio properties on the west coast of the United States and in Vancouver, B.C., and the Company’s portfolio and tenants have been impacted by these and other factors as follows:
•The Company has received a number of rent relief requests from tenants, predominantly in the form of rent deferral requests, which the Company is evaluating on a case-by-case basis. The Company has executed deferrals in the amount of $2.2 million and an additional $0.4 million in abatements. Another $1.3 million remains in discussion for either payment or deferral. The Company believes some of the rent relief requests may be opportunistic in nature and are coming from tenants that have the ability to pay rent.
The Company has taken several proactive measures to maintain the strength of its business and manage the impact of COVID-19 on the Company’s operations and liquidity, including the following:
•Along with the Company’s tenants and the communities we serve, the health and safety of the Company’s employees and their families is a top priority. The Company has adapted its operations to protect employees, including by implementing a work-from-home policy for any employees not deemed location-critical and more frequent housekeeping and sanitization procedures. Our employees are embracing social distancing, and the Company’s IT systems have enabled its team to work effectively from home. Essential employees and contractors continue to report to our buildings in shifts, enabling all our properties to remain open and fully operational for our tenants, many of whom need their essential employees to continue to work in our buildings.
•The Company is in frequent communication with its tenants and is assisting tenants in identifying local, state and federal resources that may be available to support their businesses and employees during the pandemic, including stimulus funds that may be available under various federal and state relief funds, such as the CARES Act and the Paycheck Protection Program.
•To enhance its liquidity position and maintain financial flexibility, the Company has borrowed an additional $415.0 million under its unsecured revolving credit facility during March. As of March 31, the Company had approximately $392.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. The Company has $110.0 million of undrawn capacity under its unsecured revolving credit facility, $230.0 million of availability under the Sunset Bronson Studios/ICON/CUE revolving credit facility and $408.9 million of undrawn capacity under a stand-alone loan for One Westside, which fully funds the cost of that project.
•The Company does not have any unsecured debt maturing until 2022. The Company has secured debt in the amount of $64.5 million due August 1, 2020, with no other secured debt due until 2022.
•The Company has taken proactive measures to manage costs, including by taking advantage of rent relief in connection with the Company’s existing ground lease obligations and reducing services provided by third party vendors.
Given the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic’s near and potential long-term impact on the Company’s business, and in order to preserve its liquidity position, the Company’s Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the Company’s dividend policy. The Company intends to continue to operate its business in a manner that will allow it to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax requirements. The Company derives revenues primarily from rents and reimbursement payments received from tenants under leases at the Company’s properties. The Company’s operating results therefore depend materially on the ability of its tenants to make required rental payments. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts the businesses of the Company’s tenants, and the Company’s operations and financial condition, will depend on future developments that remain uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and such containment measures, among others. While the extent of the outbreak and its impact on the Company, its tenants and the markets in which we operate is uncertain, a prolonged crisis could result in continued disruptions in the credit and financial markets, a continued rise in unemployment rates, decreases in consumer confidence and consumer spending levels and an overall worsening of global and U.S. economic conditions. The factors described above, as well as additional factors that the Company may not currently be aware of, could materially negatively impact the Company’s ability to collect rent and could lead to termination of leases by tenants, tenant bankruptcies,
41
Table of Contents
decreases in demand for office space at the Company’s properties, difficulties in accessing capital, impairment of the Company’s long-lived assets and other impacts that could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, results of operations, financial condition and ability to pay distributions to stockholders. See “Risk Factors.”
For the foregoing reasons, the comparability of the Company’s results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2020 to future periods may be significantly impacted by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our rental revenue for the second quarter of 2020 and thereafter cannot, however, be determined at present. The situation surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic remains fluid, and we are actively managing our response in collaboration with tenants, government officials and business partners and assessing potential impacts to our financial position and operating results, as well as potential adverse developments in our business. For further information regarding the impact of COVID-19 on the Company, see Part II, Item 1A, “Risk Factors.”
Executive Summary

Financings
During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the outstanding borrowings on the unsecured revolving credit facility increased by $415.0 million, net of draws. We increased our borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility during such period as a precautionary measure to increase our cash position and preserve financial flexibility in light of the challenging business environment related to the COVID-19 pandemic. We generally use the unsecured revolving credit facility to finance the acquisition of other properties, to provide funds for tenant improvements, lease commissions and capital expenditures and to provide for working capital and other corporate purposes.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2019
Net Operating Income
We evaluate performance based upon property net operating income (“NOI”). NOI is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities or cash flows as measured by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income, as an indication of our performance, or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, or our ability to make distributions. All companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be a useful performance measure to investors and management because when compared across periods, NOI reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating our properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We calculate NOI as net income excluding corporate general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairments, gains/losses on sales of real estate, interest expense, interest income, transaction-related expenses and other non-operating items. We define NOI as operating revenues (including rental revenues, other property-related revenue, tenant recoveries and other operating revenues), less property-level operating expenses (which includes external management fees, if any, and property-level general and administrative expenses). NOI on a cash basis is NOI adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments required by GAAP. We believe that NOI on a cash basis is helpful to investors as an additional measure of operating performance because it eliminates straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments to revenue and expenses.
Management further analyzes NOI by evaluating the performance from the following property groups:
•Same-store properties, which includes all of the properties owned and included in our stabilized portfolio as of January 1, 2019 and still owned and included in the stabilized portfolio as of March 31, 2020; and
•Non-same-store properties, which includes:
•Stabilized non-same-store properties
•Lease-up properties
•Repositioning properties
•Development properties
•Redevelopment properties
•Held for sale properties

NOI increased $6.3 million, or 5.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily resulting from:
•$0.5 million increase in NOI from our same-store properties driven by:
•an increase in office NOI of $1.8 million primarily due to:
•$4.6 million increase in rental revenues primarily relating to leases signed at our 1455 Market (WeWork Companies Inc.) and Foothill Research Center (Google, Inc.) properties at a higher rate than expiring leases; and
•partially offset by $2.7 million increase in operating expenses primarily relating to an increase in property tax expense, ground lease expense, utilities expense and cleaning expense across the portfolio.
•a decrease in studio NOI of $1.3 million primarily due to:
•$2.3 million decrease in service revenues and other primarily resulting from a decrease in one-time inactive fees received from Netflix in first quarter 2019 and fewer shows filmed in the first quarter 2020;
• $0.5 million decrease in operating expenses primarily relating to decreased lighting rental expense and administrative costs;
•partially offset by $0.5 million increase in rental revenues primarily relating to an overall increase in occupancy and higher rental rates at our studios;
•$5.8 million increase in NOI from our non-same-store properties driven by:
•overall increase in office NOI of $5.8 million primarily due to:
•$6.4 million increase in rental revenues primarily relating to commencement of leases at our EPIC (Netflix, Inc.), Fourth & Traction (Honey Science Corporation) properties; and

Gross interest expense increased by $2.8 million, or 10.3%, to $30.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $27.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by the issuance of our 4.65% registered senior notes (February and June 2019) and 3.25% registered senior notes (October 2019), partially offset by the paydown of Term loan A, Term loan C and the $270.0 million increase of outstanding borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility.
Capitalized interest increased by $0.4 million, or 8.7%, to $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $4.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by our One Westside redevelopment property and Harlow development property, partially offset by recently completed redevelopment and development properties.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses include wages and salaries for corporate-level employees, accounting, legal and other professional services, office supplies, entertainment, travel and automobile expenses, telecommunications and computer-related expenses and other miscellaneous items. General and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million, or 2.9%, to $18.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $18.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change was primarily attributable to the adoption of the 2020 Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. PSU Plan and other office expense.
Depreciation and Amortization Expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased $5.3 million, or 7.7%, to $73.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $68.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily related to recently completed redevelopment and development properties and an increase in leasing costs and tenant improvements for properties placed in service after the first quarter of 2019.

We have remained capitalized since our initial public offering through public offerings, private placements and continuous offerings under our ATM program. We currently expect that our principal sources of funds to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements for working capital, strategic acquisitions, capital expenditures, tenant improvements, leasing costs, dividends and distributions, share repurchases and repayments of outstanding debt financing will include:
•cash on hand, cash reserves and net cash provided by operations;
•proceeds from additional equity securities;
•our ATM program;
•borrowings under the operating partnership’s unsecured revolving credit facility, Sunset Bronson Studios/ICON/CUE revolving credit facility and One Westside construction loan; and
•proceeds from additional secured, unsecured debt financings or offerings.
Liquidity Sources
We had $392.1 million of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2020. Our principal source of operating cash flow is related to leasing and operating the properties in our portfolio. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, service our debt and fund quarterly dividend and distribution requirements.
Our ability to access the equity capital markets will depend on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about us.
We have an ATM program that allows us to sell up to $125.0 million of common stock, $20.1 million of which has been sold through March 31, 2020. Any future sales will depend on several factors, including, but not limited to, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and our capital needs. We have no obligation to sell the remaining shares available for sale under this program. The Company did not utilize the ATM program during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
As of March 31, 2020, we had total borrowing capacity of $600.0 million under our unsecured revolving credit facility, $490.0 million of which had been drawn. As of March 31, 2020, we had total borrowing capacity of $235.0 million secured by our Sunset Bronson Studios/ICON/CUE properties, $5.0 million of which had been drawn. As of March 31, 2020, we had total borrowing capacity of $414.6 million under our construction loan, secured by our One Westside and 10850 Pico properties, $5.7 million of which had been drawn.
Our ability to incur additional debt will depend on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $0.7 million, or 0.7%, to $90.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $89.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change resulted primarily from higher cash NOI related partially offset by an increase in interest expense and general and administrative expenses in 2020.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $50.2 million, or 39.1%, to $78.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $128.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease resulted primarily from lower additions to investment property in 2019 ($79.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $94.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019) and $35.6 million of deposits for property acquisitions made during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to no such deposits in 2020.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased by $297.2 million, or 809.7%, to $333.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $36.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. The change resulted primarily from lower payments of secured and unsecured debt in 2019 ($148.0 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to $335.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019) partially offset by $35.4 million proceeds from share repurchases during the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Joint Venture Indebtedness
We have one investment in an unconsolidated real estate entity, pursuant to a co-ownership agreement with an affiliate of Blackstone, the Bentall Centre property located in Vancouver, Canada. We own 20% of this joint venture and we serve as the operating partner. The unconsolidated real estate entity has mortgage indebtedness. Due to our significant influence over the unconsolidated entity, the Company accounts for the entity using the equity method of accounting. As of March 31, 2020, the aggregate carrying amount of debt, including both our and our partners’ share, incurred by the unconsolidated entity was approximately $448.1 million and our proportionate share is approximately $89.6 million.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates of certain items and judgments as to certain future events, for example with respect to the assignment of the purchase price of an acquired property among land, buildings, improvements, equipment and any related intangible assets and liabilities, or the effect of a property tax reassessment of our properties. These determinations, even though inherently subjective and prone to change, affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. While we believe that our estimates are based on reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time they are made, some of our assumptions, estimates and judgments will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, actual outcomes will likely differ from our accruals and those differences—positive or negative—could be material. Some of our accruals are subject to adjustment, as we believe appropriate based on revised estimates and reconciliation to the actual results when available.
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 which resulted in changes to our critical accounting policy relating to lease accounting. Refer to Part I, Item 1 “Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements—Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” for information regarding our updated policies as a result of the adoption of ASC 842.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds From Operations
We calculate FFO in accordance with the White Paper issued in December 2018 on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), adjusting for consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. The calculation of FFO includes amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. In the December 2018 White Paper, NAREIT, provided an option to include value changes in mark to market equity securities in the calculation of FFO. We elected this option, retroactively during the fourth quarter of 2018.
We believe that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of our activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs.
Implicit in historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, we believe that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of our performance relative to our competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities than the required GAAP presentations alone would provide. We use FFO per share to calculate annual cash bonuses for certain employees.
However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance because it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations.
The following table presents a reconciliation of net income to FFO:

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings arising out of, or incident to, our ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any legal proceedings that we believe to be material or that, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows if determined adversely to us.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business and results of operations and financial condition have been and may be further materially or adversely impacted by the outbreak of a pandemic including COVID-19
In December 2019, a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) was reported to have surfaced in Wuhan, China. COVID-19 has since spread to over 212 countries, including the United States. COVID-19 has also spread to every state in the United States and in regions where we have our executive offices and principal operations. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19.
The global spread of COVID-19 has created, and is likely to continue to create, significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption. In response to the pandemic, state and local governments, including those in Northern and Southern California, the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia have reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter in place” rules, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate and/or restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry, including industries our tenants operate in. The COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, could have material and adverse effects on our ability to successfully operate our business and on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors: our tenants’ ability to pay rent on their leases; our inability to re-let space in our properties on favorable terms; ability to access capital markets on favorable terms and potential delays with development and re-development activities resulting in failure to achieve expected occupancy and/or rent levels within the projected time frames. For instance, as of May 1, 2020, we have executed deferrals in the amount of $2.2 million and an additional $0.4 million in abatements. Another $1.3 million remains in discussion for either payment or deferral. In addition, we are experiencing a loss of ancillary revenue from services provided at our studio properties in connection with the slowdown in production by our media and entertainment tenants. In response to government mandates, health care advisories and otherwise responding to employee and vendor concerns, we have altered certain aspects of our operations. Our workforce, excluding any location-critical personnel, are working from home, which may impact their productivity.
The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk on our ability to successfully operate our business and on our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows. Moreover, many risk factors set forth in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please review the Risk Factors set forth in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional risk factors.
