FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements made by us in this report and in other reports and statements released by us that are not historical facts constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of our senior management based on our current estimates, expectations, forecasts and projections and include comments that express our current opinions about trends and factors that may impact future operating results. Disclosures that use words such as “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “plan,” “expect,” “project” or the negative of these, as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events, many of which are outside of our control, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results, performance or achievement, or industry results, to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects as reflected in or suggested by those forward-looking statements are reasonable, we do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results, performance or transactions, please carefully read “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A below in addition to the following factors:
• | disruptions in general economic and business conditions, particularly in geographies where our business may be concentrated; |
• | volatility and disruption of the capital and credit markets, higher interest rates, higher loan costs, less desirable loan terms and a reduction in the availability of mortgage loans, all of which could increase costs and could limit our ability to acquire additional real estate assets; |
• | continued high levels of, or increases in, unemployment and general slowdowns in commercial activity; |
• | our leverage and ability to refinance existing indebtedness or incur additional indebtedness; |
• | an increase in our debt service obligations; |
• | our ability to generate a sufficient amount of cash to satisfy working capital requirements and to service our existing and future indebtedness; |
• | our ability to achieve improvements in operating efficiency; |
• | foreign currency fluctuations; |
• | performance of our foreign currency hedge instruments; |
• | adverse changes in the securities markets; |
• | our ability to retain our senior management and attract and retain qualified and experienced employees; |
• | our ability to retain major clients and renew related contracts; |
• | trends in use of large, full-service commercial real estate providers; |
• | changes in tax laws in the United States, Ireland, United Kingdom, Spain or Japan that reduce or eliminate deductions or other tax benefits we receive; |
• | our ability to repatriate investment funds in a tax-efficient manner; |
• | future acquisitions may not be available at favorable prices or upon advantageous terms and conditions; and |
• | costs relating to the acquisition of assets we may acquire could be higher than anticipated. |
Any such forward-looking statements, whether made in this report or elsewhere, should be considered in the context of the various disclosures made by us about our businesses including, without limitation, the risk factors discussed in this Annual Report. Except as required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we do not have any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise.
In this report, (i) Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. is referred to as “Kennedy Wilson” or "KWH," (ii) Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries are collectively referred to as "The Company,” “we,” “us” or “our,” unless the context requires otherwise; and (iii) KWE refers to Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate plc, a London Stock Exchange listed company that the Company externally manages through a wholly owned subsidiary.
Assets Under Management or "AUM"
AUM generally refers to the properties and other assets with respect to which we provide (or participate in) oversight, investment management services and other advice, and which generally consist of real estate properties or loans, and investments in joint ventures. Our AUM is principally intended to reflect the extent of our presence in the real estate market, not the basis for determining our management fees. Our AUM consists of the total estimated fair value of the real estate properties and other real estate related assets either owned by third parties, wholly owned by us or held by joint ventures and other entities in which our sponsored funds or investment vehicles and client accounts have invested. Committed (but unfunded) capital from investors in our sponsored funds is not included in our AUM. The estimated value of development properties is included at estimated completion cost.
Operating Associates
Operating associates generally refer to individuals that are employed by or affiliated with third-party consultants, contractors, property managers or other service providers that we manage and oversee on a day-to-day basis with respect to our investments and services businesses.
Non-GAAP Measures and Certain Definitions
Consolidated EBITDA represents net income before noncontrolling interest income, interest expense, our share of interest expense included in income from unconsolidated investments, depreciation and amortization, our share of depreciation and amortization included in income from unconsolidated investments, loss on early extinguishment of corporate debt and income taxes for the Company. We do not adjust Consolidated EBITDA for gains or losses on the extinguishment of mortgage debt as we are in the business of purchasing discounted notes secured by real estate and, in connection with these note purchases, we may resolve these loans through discounted payoffs with the borrowers. Consolidated EBITDA is not a recognized term under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, and does not purport to be an alternative to net earnings as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, Consolidated EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not remove all non-cash items (such as acquisition related gains) or consider certain cash requirements such as interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Our presentation of Consolidated EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Our management believes Consolidated EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending and acquisitions. Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Additionally, we believe Consolidated EBITDA is useful to investors to assist them in getting a more accurate picture of our results from operations.
Acquisition-related gains - Acquisition-related gains consist of non-cash gains recognized by the Company upon a GAAP required fair value measurement due to a business combination. These gains are typically recognized when the Company converts a loan into consolidated real estate owned and the fair value of the underlying real estate exceeds the basis in the previously held loan. These gains also arise when there is a change of control of an investment. The gain amount is based upon the fair value of the Company’s equity in the investment in excess of the carrying amount of the equity directly preceding the change of control.
Adjusted EBITDA represents Consolidated EBITDA, as defined above, adjusted to exclude corporate merger and acquisition related expenses, share based compensation expense for the Company and EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to analyze our business because it adjusts Consolidated EBITDA for items we believe do not accurately reflect the nature of our business going forward or that relate to non-cash compensation expense or noncontrolling interests. Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Additionally, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assist them in getting a more accurate picture of our results from operations. However, Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under GAAP and when analyzing our operating performance, readers should use Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as it does not remove all non-cash items (such as acquisition related gains) or consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The amounts shown for Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which are further adjusted to
reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used to determine compliance with financial covenants and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments.
Adjusted fees refers to the Company’s investment management, property services and research fees adjusted to include fees eliminated in consolidation and Kennedy Wilson’s share of fees in unconsolidated service businesses.
Adjusted Net Asset Value is calculated by KWE as net asset value adjusted to include properties and other investment interests at fair value and to exclude certain items not expected to be realized in a long-term investment property business model such as the fair value of financial derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses.
Adjusted Net Income represents Consolidated Adjusted Net Income as defined below, adjusted to exclude net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, before depreciation and amortization.
Consolidated Adjusted Net Income represents net income before depreciation and amortization, our share of depreciation and amortization included in income from unconsolidated investments and share based compensation expense.
Consolidated investment account refers to the sum of the Company’s equity in: cash held by consolidated investments, consolidated real estate and acquired in-place leases, unconsolidated investments and consolidated loans gross of accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Equity partners refers to subsidiaries that we consolidate in our financial statements under GAAP (other than wholly-owned subsidiaries), including KWE, and third-party equity providers.
Investment account refers to the consolidated investment account presented after noncontrolling interest in invested assets gross of accumulated depreciation.
PART I
Item 1. | Business |
Company Overview
Kennedy Wilson is a vertically integrated global real estate investment and services company with over $18.1 billion in assets under management. Founded in 1977, we have owned and operated real estate related investments for over 37 years on behalf of our shareholders and our clients. We have over 450 employees in 25 offices throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Jersey, Spain and Japan and manage and work with over 4,000 operating associates. We focus on adding value for our shareholders through sourcing global opportunistic investment opportunities. Also, our services business creates additional value through fee generation and strategic investment management.
The following is our business model:
• | Identify countries and markets with an attractive investment landscape |
• | Establish operating platforms and service businesses in our target markets |
• | Develop local intelligence and create long-lasting relationships; primarily with financial institutions |
• | Leverage relationships and local knowledge to drive proprietary investment opportunities with a focus on off-market transactions |
• | Acquire high quality assets, either on our own or with strategic partners, utilizing cash from our balance sheet and typically financing them on a long-term basis |
• | Reposition assets and enhance cash flows post-acquisition |
• | Continuously evaluate and selectively harvest asset and entity value through strategic realizations utilizing both the public and private markets |
• | Utilize our services businesses to meet client needs, strengthen relationships with financial institutions, and position the Company as a valuable resource and partner to these institutions for any future real estate opportunities |
Our strategy has resulted in a strong track record of creating both asset and entity value for the benefit of our shareholders and partners over various real estate cycles.
Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate plc, or KWE (LSE: KWE), closed its initial public offering in February 2014 and a follow-on offering in October 2014, raising approximately $2.2 billion in gross proceeds. KWE, whose ordinary shares are listed on the London Stock Exchange’s main market and is a member of the FTSE 250 Index, acquires real estate and real estate-related assets in Europe. Since its inception through December 31, 2014, KWE has acquired 82 direct real estate assets with approximately 6.6 million square feet and five loan portfolios totaling $2.4 billion in purchase price.
KWE is externally managed by one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (“KWE Manager”) pursuant to an investment management agreement in which we will be entitled to receive certain management and performance fees. KWE Manager is paid an annual management fee (payable quarterly in arrears) equal to 1% of KWE’s adjusted net asset value (reported by KWE to be $2.1 billion at December 31, 2014) and certain performance fees. The management fee payable to KWE Manager is paid half in cash and half in shares of KWE. We are also entitled to receive an annual performance fee equal to 20% of the lesser of (i) the excess of the shareholder return for the relevant year (defined as the change in KWE’s adjusted net asset value per ordinary share plus dividends paid) over a 10% annual return hurdle, and (ii) the excess of year-end adjusted net asset value per ordinary share over a “high water mark.” The performance fee is payable in shares of KWE that vest equally over a three-year period. No such fee has been earned by Kennedy Wilson as of December 31, 2014.
As of December 31, 2014, Kennedy Wilson owns approximately 20.2 million ordinary shares of KWE (with a cost basis of $333.8 million) or approximately 14.9% of the total issued share capital of KWE.
Due to the terms of the investment management agreement and Kennedy Wilson's equity ownership interest in KWE, pursuant to the guidance set forth in FASB Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 810 - Consolidation (“Subtopic 810”), the results and financial position of KWE are consolidated in our financial statements. As such, fees earned by KWE Manager are eliminated in the attached consolidated financial statements. Pursuant to the investment management agreement, subject to certain exceptions, KWE will be provided priority access to all real estate or real estate loan opportunities sourced by us in Europe that are within the parameters of KWE’s investment policy.
Since going public on November 13, 2009 through December 31, 2014, the annualized total rate of return (including dividends) of our common stock (NYSE: KW) was 24.3%, compared to the return of the S&P 500 index of 13.8%. Past stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance.

Recent Developments
In January 2015, Kennedy Wilson entered into a purchase agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Winthrop Realty Trust to acquire a 61.5% interest in Vintage Housing Holdings, LLC (“VHH”) for approximately $86 million. VHH owns certain interests in 30 multi-family properties totaling 5,485 units, which have been capitalized using tax credit financing. Upon the closing of the transaction, the property developer and current manager of VHH will own the remaining 38.5% of the equity interests and maintain its role as manager. Including the assumption of approximately $328 million of property debt, along with third party equity interests and unrestricted cash, the Company’s purchase values the 30 property portfolio at approximately $486 million. The closing of the acquisition is expected to be consummated in the first half of 2015, subject to customary closing conditions.
In February 2015, KWE closed the acquisition of 163 of 180 mixed-use properties located throughout the United Kingdom for a purchase price of £443.6 million or approximately $670 million. The closing of the balance of the portfolio under contract (17 properties for a total of £59.4 million or approximately $89 million) is scheduled to take place on a staggered basis during the next 12 months as various conditions under the purchase agreement are satisfied.
On February 25, 2015 our board of directors approved a $0.12 per share quarterly dividend, a 33% increase from the previous quarter, to common shareholders of record as of March 31, 2015 with a payment date of April 8, 2015. The quarterly payment equates to an annual dividend of $0.48 per common share.
Business Segments
Our operations are defined by two core business units: KW Investments and KW Services. KW Investments invests our capital in real estate-related assets. KW Services provides a full array of real estate-related services to the Company and its investment partners, third party owners, and lenders, with a strong focus on financial institution based clients. Included in KW services is our management of KWE. The two segments have a symbiotic relationship and work closely together. KW Services provides insight and creates investment opportunities for KW Investments while KW Investments provides clients the ability to utilize the capabilities of KW Services.
KW Investments
We invest our capital in real estate assets and loans secured by real estate either on our own or with strategic partners through publicly traded companies, joint ventures, separate accounts, or funds. We are typically the general partner in these joint ventures with a promoted interest in the profits of our investments beyond our ownership percentage. The Company has an average ownership interest across all investments of approximately 32% as of December 31, 2014. Our equity partners include public shareholders, financial institutions, foundations, endowments, high net worth individuals and other institutional investors.
The following are product types we invest in through the KW Investments segment:
Multifamily
We pursue multifamily acquisition opportunities where we believe we can unlock value through a myriad of strategies, including institutional management, asset rehabilitation, repositioning and creative recapitalization. We focus primarily on apartments in supply-constrained, infill markets. As of December 31, 2014, we hold investments in 20,721 multifamily apartment units across 105 properties primarily located in the Western United States, Ireland and Japan.
Commercial
We source, acquire, and finance various types of commercial real estate which includes office, industrial, retail, and mixed-use assets. After acquisition, the properties are generally repositioned to enhance market value. Assets are either sold as part of property-specific investment strategies designed to deliver above-market returns to our clients and shareholders or held if producing above average returns. As of December 31, 2014, we own interests in 127 commercial properties, totaling over 14 million square feet, located throughout the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, and Japan.
Loan Originations/Discounted Loan Purchases
We acquire and/or originate loans secured by real estate. Our acquisitions and originations include individual notes on all real estate property types as well as portfolios of loans purchased from financial institutions, corporations and government agencies. We deliver value through loan resolutions, discounted payoffs, and sales. We also convert certain loans into a direct ownership in the underlying real estate collateral. Our discounted loan pool portfolio as of December 31, 2014 had current unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of $1.1 billion. Also, as of December 31, 2014, our loan originations portfolio has an unpaid principal balance of $48.7 million with a weighted average interest rate of 10.1%.
2
Our loan investment portfolio is principally related to loans acquired at a discount from their contractual balance due as a result of deteriorated credit quality of the borrower. Such loans are underwritten by us based on the value of the underlying real estate collateral. Due to the discounted purchase price, we seek and are generally able to accomplish near term realization of the loan in a cash settlement or by obtaining title to the property. Accordingly, the credit quality of the borrower is not of substantial importance to our evaluation of the risk of recovery from the investment.
Hotel, Residential and Other
We also invest in hotels. In certain cases, we may pursue residential for sale housing acquisition opportunities, including land for entitlements, finished lots, urban infill condominium sites and partially finished and finished condominium projects. We also invest in marketable securities, which are typically real-estate related. We hold investments in over 4200 acres, 177 residential units, 619 lots and 975 hotel rooms.
While our core investments have been in the specific markets and locations listed above, we will evaluate opportunities to earn above market returns across many other segments and geographic locations.
Investment account
In 2014, together with our equity partners, we acquired $3.2 billion of real estate and loans secured by real estate at purchase price. These acquisitions were comprised of the following: 58% commercial, 22% multifamily, 11% loans secured by real estate and 9% other.
At December 31, 2014, we and our equity partners held a real estate and real estate related investment portfolio with assets at a book value of approximately $9.1 billion, with approximately 45% leverage. The Company has an average ownership interest across all of its investments of approximately 32% as of December 31, 2014. The following table depicts how our equity in the portfolio is derived from the financial statement captions in our audited consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2014:

Under US GAAP, we are required to consolidate the results of KWE and as such fees earned from KWE are eliminated in consolidation.
Property Services
Our property services division manages commercial real estate for third-party clients, fund investors, and investments held by Kennedy Wilson. In addition to earning property management fees, consulting fees, leasing commissions, construction management fees, disposition fees, and accounting fees, the property services division gives Kennedy Wilson insight into local markets and potential acquisitions. Leveraging over 37 years of real estate experience, we approach property management from the perspective of an owner and are active in identifying and implementing value creation strategies. The division has a proven track record of success in managing stabilized as well as value-add investments.
Research
Meyers Research LLC or Meyers, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kennedy Wilson, is a premier consulting practice and provider of data for residential real estate development and new home construction. Meyers’ offers a national perspective as well as local expertise to homebuilders, multifamily developers, lenders and financial institutions. These relationships have led to investment opportunities with homebuilders in the Western U.S. region. We believe Zonda™, a Meyers innovation launched in October 2013, is the housing industry's most comprehensive solution for smart business analysis, real-time market data reporting and economic and housing data in one place and on-the-go.
Brokerage
Our brokerage division represents tenants and landlords on every aspect of site selection, negotiation and occupancy. The division also specializes in innovative marketing programs tailored to client objectives for all types of investment grade and income producing real estate. The division's property marketing programs combine proven techniques with its detailed market knowledge to create optimum results.
Auction and Conventional Sales
The auction and conventional sales division provides innovative marketing and sales strategies for all types of commercial and residential real estate, including single family homes, mixed-use developments, estate homes, multifamily dwellings, new home projects, and conversions. Generally the division's auction sales business is countercyclical to the traditional sales real estate market and has been a bellwether for us in forecasting market conditions.
Value Creation
Kennedy Wilson’s differentiated and unique approach to investing is the cornerstone of how we create value for our shareholders. Our investment philosophy is based on three core fundamentals:
• | Leverage our global footprint and complementary investments and services businesses to identify attractive investment markets across the world. |
• | Selectively invest in opportunities across many real estate product types with a goal of maximizing cash flow and return on capital. |
• | Actively manage assets and finance them conservatively to generate stable, predictable and growing cash flows for shareholders and clients. |
Kennedy Wilson is able to create value for its shareholders in the following ways:
5
• | We are able to identify and acquire attractive real estate assets across many markets, in part due to the significant proprietary deal flow driven from an established global network of industry relationships, particularly with financial institutions. This can create value by allowing us to maintain and develop a large pipeline of attractive opportunities. |
• | Our operating expertise allows us to focus on opportunistic investments where we can increase the value of assets and cash flows, such as distressed real estate owners or lenders seeking liquidity, under-managed or under-leased assets, and repositioning opportunities. |
• | Many times, these investments are acquired at a discount to replacement cost or recent comparative sales, thereby offering opportunities to achieve above average total returns. In many cases this may lead to significant additional returns, such as a promoted interest, based on the performance of the assets. |
• | In many instances, our long-lasting and deep relationships with financial institutions allow us to refinance loans to reduce interest rates and/or increase borrowings due to property appreciation and thereby obtain cash flow to use for new investments. We generally implement this strategy after our value add initiatives have been executed, thus allowing us to maintain moderate levels of leverage. |
• | KW Services plays a critical role in supporting our investment strategy by providing local market intelligence and real-time data for evaluating investments, generating proprietary transaction flow and creating value through efficient implementation of asset management or repositioning strategies. |
• | We understand that real estate is cyclical. Our management team employs a multi-cyclical approach that has resulted in our AUM being globally diversified across many sectors of real estate while maintaining a healthy liquidity position and adequate access to capital. |
Industry Overview
United States
The U.S. economy continued to gain momentum in 2014 as equity and real estate prices continued their upward trend. Robust employment growth and continued underlying strength in the broader economy allowed the Federal Reserve to wind down its massive bond buying purchase program during 2014, which started in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Low interest rates continued to force investors into riskier assets and U.S. real estate returns, as measured by the FTSE NAREIT 50 Index, posted their largest annual gain since 2006.
U.S. real estate market conditions remained favorable in 2014 marked by a strengthening economy and low borrowing costs. The improving economic landscape led to strengthening fundamentals across all property types. Vacancy rates continued to fall across commercial properties and due to higher residential home prices, renter demand for apartments continued to expand at a steady pace.
Looking ahead, we believe the prospect of higher asset values and cash flows in an improving economy with continued job growth outweigh the risks of higher short term U.S. treasury rates in 2015. Furthermore, we believe that continued growth in the U.S. economy will once again drive improvements in fundamentals for all real estate types, including the prospects of higher occupancies, rent growth, property values, and increases in capital availability.
Europe
While the U.S economy showed signs of strength, the European market continued to show signs of improving confidence and market sentiment. Many European countries appear to be at or have moved past their cyclical "trough." Against this backdrop of improving market sentiment and positive signals from leading indicators, commercial real estate investment activity has continued to increase, driven by strong cross-regional capital flows into the direct investment market and improved availability of debt. We believe that continued improvement in the underlying economic fundamentals of Europe will result in a favorable investment outlook for European commercial real estate.
United Kingdom
Since mid-2003, the U.K. recovery has become more established as investor sentiment has strengthened. London continues to be an attractive real estate market due to foreign capital investment and a strong global presence. Much of the foreign
6
capital has targeted the London location, causing a polarization (in terms of pricing and levels of activity) between London and the rest of the country. Though vacancy rates may have dropped and the U.K.’s economic recovery remains fragile, forecasts of GDP growth for 2015 are encouraging.
Ireland
The Irish economy continues to expand with upward revisions in performance outputs. Irish GDP is expected to grow by more than 3.5% this year, and Ireland is expected to be one of the fastest growing EU countries. Transaction volumes and property value improvements exceeded all expectations over the last 12 months. The office market benefited from a material uptick in occupier demand, and the apartment sector continues to experience growth driven by strong demographics and limited new supply. With the continued deleveraging from NAMA and other financial institutions, we believe 2015 will be another busy year for the Irish property market.
Spain
Spain's economic growth continues unabated from 2013. Whilst GDP remains below pre-recession peak, it has the potential to be one of the fastest growing economies in Europe over the coming years. Improved employment forecasts would boost consumer confidence and subsequently drive rental growth. Assets are still being offloaded by SAREB, the bad bank of the Spanish government, and other financial institutions. We believe the real estate market for Spain will be attractive due to continued low interest rates, an improving economic backdrop, and increased investor appetite from both individual and institutional investors.
Japan
The economic stimulus program in Japan instituted by Prime Minister Abe has led to a weakening of the Japanese yen against most major currencies and continues to create a tailwind for asset prices. The prospect of hosting the 2020 Summer Olympics has strengthened corporate demand in Tokyo. In addition, capital continues to flow into the country from a variety of investment sources, both domestic and international. We believe that there will be a continued interest in the Japanese real estate market due to its attractive exchange rate and low interest rates.
Competition
We compete with a range of global, national and local real estate firms, individual investors and other corporations, both private and public. Because of our unique mix of investments and services businesses, we compete with companies that invest in real estate and loans secured by real estate along with brokerage and property management companies as well as companies that invest in real estate and loans secured by real estate. Our investment business competes with real estate investment partnerships, real estate investments trusts, private equity firms and other investment companies and regional investors and developers. We believe that our relationships with the sellers and our ability to close an investment transaction in a short time period at competitive pricing provide us a competitive advantage. The real estate services business is both highly fragmented and competitive. We compete with real estate brokerage and auction companies on the basis of our relationship with property owners, quality of service, and commissions charged. We compete with property management and leasing firms also on the basis of our relationship with clients, the range and quality of services provided, and fees and commissions charged.
Competitive Strengths
We have a unique platform from which to execute our investment and services strategy. The combination of a service business and an investment platform provides several competitive strengths when compared to other real estate buyers operating stand-alone or investment-focused firms and may allow us to generate superior risk-adjusted returns. Our investment strategy focuses on investments that offer significant appreciation potential through intensive property management, leasing, repositioning, redevelopment and the opportunistic use of capital. We differentiate ourselves from other firms in the industry with our full service, investment oriented structure. Whereas most other firms use an investment platform to obtain additional service business revenue, we use our service platform to enhance the investment process and ensure the alignment of interests with our investors.
Our competitive strengths include:
• | Transaction experience: Our Executive Committee has more than 125 years of combined real estate experience and has been working and investing together on average for over 15 years. Members of the Executive Committee have collectively acquired, developed and managed in excess of $20 billion of real estate investments in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and Japan throughout various economic cycles, both at our Company and throughout their careers. |
7
• | Extensive relationship and sourcing network: We leverage our services business in order to source off-market deals. In addition, the Executive Committee and our acquisition team have transacted deals in nearly every major metropolitan market on the West Coast of the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and Japan. Their local presence and reputation in these markets have enabled them to cultivate key relationships with major holders of property inventory, in particularly financial institutions, throughout the real estate community. |
• | Structuring expertise and speed of execution: Prior acquisitions completed by us have taken a variety of forms including direct property investments, joint ventures, exchanges involving stock or operating partnership units, participating loans and investments in performing and non-performing mortgages at various capital stack positions with the objective of long-term ownership. We believe we have developed a reputation of being able to quickly execute, as well as originate and creatively structure acquisitions, dispositions and financing transactions. |
• | Vertically integrated platform for operational enhancement: We have over 450 employees in both KW Investments and KW Services, with 25 regional offices throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Jersey and Japan and manage and oversee over 4,000 operating associates. We have a hands-on approach to real estate investing and possess the local expertise in property management, leasing, construction management, development and investment sales, which we believe enable us to invest successfully in selected submarkets. |
• | Risk protection and investment discipline: We underwrite our investments based upon a thorough examination of property economics and a critical understanding of market dynamics and risk management strategies. We conduct an in-depth sensitivity analysis on each of our acquisitions. This analysis applies various economic scenarios that include changes to rental rates, absorption periods, operating expenses, interest rates, exit values and holding periods. We use this analysis to develop our disciplined acquisition strategies. |
Foreign Currency
Approximately 45% of our investment account is invested through our foreign platforms in their local currencies. Investment level debt is generally incurred in local currencies and we consider our equity investment as the appropriate exposure to evaluate for hedging purposes. Fluctuations in foreign exchanges rates may have a significant impact on the results of our operations. In order to manage the effect of these fluctuations, we generally hedge our book equity exposure to foreign currencies through currency forward contracts and options. We typically hedge 50%-100% of book equity exposure against these foreign currencies.
Transaction-based Results
A significant portion of our cash flow is tied to transaction activity which can affect an investor’s ability to compare our financial condition and results of operations on a quarter-by-quarter basis or to easily evaluate the breadth of our operation. Historically, this variability has caused our revenue, operating income, net income and cash flows to be tied to transaction activity, which is not necessarily concentrated in any one quarter. In addition, our operating results can be affected by acquisition-related gains, which often can cause concentrated gain recognition in particular periods. While acquisition related gains can have a material result on our net income, because it arises from remeasurement of asset value, it does not affect operating income or cash flow.
Employees
As of December 31, 2014, we have over 450 employees in 25 offices throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Jersey and Japan and manage and oversee over 4,000 operating associates. We believe that we have been able to attract and maintain high quality employees. There are no employees subject to collective bargaining agreements. In addition, we believe we have a good relationship with our employees.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
Our results of operations and financial condition can be adversely affected by numerous risks. You should carefully consider the risk factors detailed below in conjunction with the other information contained in this report. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, operating results, cash flows and future prospects could be materially adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Business
The success of our business is significantly related to general economic conditions and the real estate industry, and, accordingly, our business could be harmed by an economic slowdown and downturn in real estate asset values, property sales and leasing activities.
Our business is closely tied to general economic conditions in the real estate industry. As a result, our economic performance, the value of our real estate and real estate secured notes, and our ability to implement our business strategies may be significantly and adversely affected by changes in national and local economic conditions. The condition of the real estate markets in which we operate is cyclical and depends on the condition of the economy in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and Japan as a whole and to the perceptions of investors of the overall economic outlook. Rising interest rates, declining employment levels, declining demand for real estate, declining real estate values or periods of general economic slowdown or recession or the perception that any of these events may occur have negatively impacted the real estate market in the past and may in the future negatively impact our operating performance. In addition, the economic condition of each local market where we operate may depend on one or more key industries within that market, which, in turn, makes our business sensitive to the performance of those industries.
We have only a limited ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to economic or other conditions. Certain significant expenditures, such as debt service costs, real estate taxes, and operating and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when market conditions are poor. These factors impede us from responding quickly to changes in the performance of our investments and could adversely impact our business, financial condition and results of operations. We have experienced in past years, and expect in the future to be negatively impacted by, periods of economic slowdown or recession, and corresponding declines in the demand for real estate and related services, within the markets in which we operate. The previous recession and the downturn in the real estate market have resulted in and may result in:
• | a general decline in rents due to defaulting tenants or less favorable terms for renewed or new leases; |
• | a decline in actual and projected sale prices of our properties, resulting in lower returns on the properties in which we have invested; |
• | higher interest rates, higher loan costs, less desirable loan terms and a reduction in the availability of mortgage loans, all of which could increase costs and limit our ability to acquire additional real estate assets; and |
• | a decrease in the availability of lines of credit and the public equity and debt markets and other sources of capital used to purchase real estate investments and distressed notes; |
• | fewer purchases and sales of properties by clients, resulting in a decrease in property management fees and brokerage commissions. |
If the economic and market conditions that prevailed in 2008 and 2009 were to return, our business performance and profitability could deteriorate. If this were to occur, we could fail to comply with certain financial covenants in our unsecured revolving credit facilities, which would force us to seek an amendment with our lenders. We may be unable to obtain any necessary waivers or amendments on satisfactory terms, if at all, which could result in the principal and interest of the debt to become immediately due. In addition, in an extreme deterioration of our business, we could have insufficient liquidity to meet our debt service obligations when they come due in future years.
Adverse developments in the credit markets may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.
Disruptions in the credit markets may adversely affect our business of providing advisory services to owners, investors and occupiers of real estate in connection with the leasing, disposition and acquisition of property. If our clients are unable to procure credit on favorable terms, there may be fewer completed leasing transactions, dispositions and acquisitions of property. In addition, if purchasers of real estate are not able to procure favorable financing, resulting in the lack of disposition opportunities
9
for our funds and projects, our services businesses will generate lower incentive fees and we may also experience losses of co-invested equity capital if the disruption causes a permanent decline in the value of investments made.
In recent years, the credit markets have experienced significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions. These circumstances have materially impacted liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and, in some cases, have resulted in the unavailability of financing, even for companies that are otherwise qualified to obtain financing. Continued volatility and uncertainty in the credit markets may negatively impact our ability to access additional financing for our capital needs. Additionally, due to this uncertainty, we may be unable to refinance or extend our existing debt, or the terms of any refinancing may not be as favorable as the terms of our existing debt. A prolonged downturn in the financial markets may cause us to seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing and may require us to adjust our business plan. These events also may make it more difficult or costly for us to raise capital through the incurrence of additional secured or unsecured debt, which could materially and adversely affect us.
We could lose part or all of our investments in real estate assets, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
There is the inherent possibility in all of our real estate investments that we could lose all or part of our investment. Real estate investments are generally illiquid, which may affect our ability to change our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions. Moreover, we may not be able to unilaterally decide the timing of the disposition of an investment, and as a result, we may not control when and whether any gain will be realized or loss avoided. The value of our investments can also be diminished by:
• | civil unrest, acts of war and terrorism and acts of God, including earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural disasters (which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses); |
• | the impact of present or future legislation in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and Japan (including environmental regulation, changes in laws concerning foreign ownership of property, changes in tax rates, changes in zoning laws and laws requiring upgrades to accommodate disabled persons) and the cost of compliance with these types of legislation; and |
• | liabilities relating to claims, to the extent insurance is not available or is inadequate. |
We may be unsuccessful in renovating the properties we acquire, resulting in investment losses.
Part of our investment strategy is to locate and acquire real estate assets that we believe are undervalued and to improve them to increase their resale value. Acquiring properties that are not yet fully developed or in need of substantial renovation or redevelopment entails several risks, particularly the risk that we overestimate the value of the property or that the cost or time to complete the renovation or redevelopment will exceed the budgeted amount. Such delays or cost overruns may arise from:
• | shortages of materials or skilled labor; |
• | a change in the scope of the original project; |
• | difficulty in obtaining necessary zoning, land-use, environmental, building, occupancy and other governmental permits and authorizations; |
• | the discovery of structural or other latent defects in the property after we acquire the property; and |
• | delays in obtaining tenants. |
Any failure to complete a redevelopment project in a timely manner and within budget or to sell or lease the project after completion could have a material adverse effect upon our business, results of operation and financial condition.
Our significant operations in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and Japan expose our business to risks inherent in conducting business in foreign markets.
As of December 31, 2014, approximately 56% of our revenues were sourced from our foreign operations in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and Japan. Accordingly, our firm-wide results of operations depends significantly on our foreign operations. Conducting business abroad carries significant risks, including:
• | restrictions and problems relating to the repatriation of profits; |
• | difficulties and costs of staffing and managing international operations; |
• | the burden of complying with multiple and potentially conflicting laws; |
• | laws restricting foreign companies from conducting business; |
• | unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; |
10
• | the impact of different business cycles and economic instability; |
• | political instability and civil unrest; |
• | greater difficulty in perfecting our security interests, collecting accounts receivable, foreclosing on secured assets and protecting our interests as a creditor in bankruptcies in certain geographic regions; |
• | potentially adverse tax consequences; |
• | share ownership restrictions on foreign operations; |
• | tariff regimes of the countries in which we do business; and |
• | geographic, time zone, language and cultural differences between personnel in different areas of the world. |
Our investment in, and relationship with, Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate Plc presents risks to our business.
In February 2014, we invested approximately $203 million in cash and non-cash assets in Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate Plc, or KWE, in connection with its initial public offering. In addition, after KWE’s initial public offering, we invested another $126.0 million on various dates throughout 2014, including $75 million in KWE’s follow-on offering in October 2014. As of December 31, 2014 we held a 14.9% interest in KWE and currently act as its investment manager pursuant to an investment management agreement that provides for the payment to us of certain management and performance fees.
Subject to certain exceptions, the investment management agreement requires us to provide KWE with priority access to all real estate or real estate loan opportunities that we source in Europe and that are within the parameters of KWE’s investment policy. Accordingly, we will be required to offer to KWE investment opportunities in Europe that we otherwise would have been able to pursue ourselves, and the management and performance fees, if any, we may earn with respect to these opportunities may be less than the profits we would have earned had we invested in these opportunities directly. There are exceptions to our requirement to offer European investment opportunities to KWE, and, if we believe an exception applies and we pursue the relevant opportunity ourselves, KWE may disagree.
Although we are entitled to receive management and performance fees pursuant to the management agreement, the fees we actually receive may not be significant. Moreover, if KWE’s portfolio does not perform favorably, we may not receive any performance fees.
In addition, the management agreement may be terminated, including for reasons that are beyond our control, in which case we will receive no management or performance fees. Although we are entitled to a termination fee if we are terminated as manager under certain circumstances, KWE may disagree that such a fee is owed or otherwise refuse to pay us a termination fee. In such an event, we may become involved in expensive legal proceedings and may never recover a termination fee.
The ongoing debt crisis in Europe could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Since the establishment of our European operations in 2011, our business in Europe has become an increasingly important part of our business, and we expect to continue to grow our European presence over time. A number of European countries are continuing to experience high borrowing costs and recessionary conditions, and many European banks and investors have incurred substantial losses on real estate-related assets in recent years. Current macroeconomic conditions in Europe remain subject to significant uncertainty and could make the valuation of real estate-related assets difficult. Continued weakness or a worsening of those conditions could negatively impact the value of our existing investments and harm our ability to sell those investments and identify attractive investment opportunities in the future. These developments could harm our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our joint venture activities subject us to unique third-party risks, including risks that other participants may become bankrupt or take action contrary to our best interests.
We have used joint ventures for large real estate investments, real estate developments, and the purchase of loans secured by real estate. We plan to continue to acquire interests in additional limited and general partnerships, joint ventures and other enterprises, which we collectively refer to as joint ventures, formed to own or develop real property or interests in real property or note pools. We have acquired and may acquire non-controlling interests in joint ventures, and we may also acquire interests as a passive investor without rights to actively participate in the management of the joint ventures. Investments in joint ventures involve additional risks, including the possibility that the other participants may become bankrupt or have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours, that we will not have the right or power to direct the management and policies of the joint ventures and that other participants may take action contrary to our instructions or requests and against our policies and objectives. Should a participant in a material joint venture investment act contrary to our interests, our business, results
11
of operations and financial condition could significantly suffer. Moreover, we cannot be certain that we will continue these investments or that we can identify suitable joint venture partners and form new joint ventures in the future.
We purchase distressed loans and loan portfolios that may have a higher risk of default and delinquencies than newly originated loans, and, as a result, we may lose part or all of our investment in such loans and loan portfolios.
From time-to-time we purchase loans and loan portfolios that are unsecured or secured by real or personal property. These loans and loan portfolios in some cases may be non-performing or sub-performing and may be in default at the time of purchase. In general, the distressed loans and loan portfolios we acquire are speculative investments and have a greater than normal risk of future defaults and delinquencies as compared to newly originated loans. Returns on loan investments depend on the borrower’s ability to make required payments or, in the event of default, our security interests, if any, and our ability to foreclose and liquidate whatever property that secures the loans and loan portfolios. We may be unable to collect on a defaulted loan or foreclose on security successfully or in a timely fashion. There may also be instances when we are able to acquire title to an underlying property and sell it but not make a profit on its investment.
If we are unable to identify, acquire and integrate suitable acquisition targets, our future growth will be impeded.
Acquisitions and expansion have been, and will continue to be, a significant component of our growth strategy. While maintaining our existing business lines, we intend to continue to pursue a sustained growth strategy by increasing revenues from existing clients, expanding the breadth of our service offerings, seeking selective co-investment opportunities and pursuing strategic acquisitions. Our ability to manage our growth will require us to effectively integrate new acquisitions into our existing operations while managing development of principal properties. We expect that significant growth in several business lines occurring simultaneously will place substantial demands on our managerial, administrative, operational and financial resources. We may be unable to successfully manage all factors necessary for a successful expansion of our business. Moreover, our strategy of growth depends on the existence of and our ability to identify attractive and synergistic acquisition targets. The unavailability of suitable acquisition targets, or our inability to find them, may result in a decline in business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our business is highly dependent upon the economy and real estate market in California, which has the potential for natural disasters.
We have a high concentration of our business activities in California. Consequently, our business, results of operations and financial condition depend on general trends in California’s economy and real estate market. California historically has been vulnerable to certain natural disaster risks, such as earthquakes, floods, wild fires and erosion-caused mudslides. The existence of adverse economic conditions or the occurrence of natural disasters in California could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We own real estate properties located in Hawaii, which subjects us to unique risks relating to, among other things, Hawaii’s economic dependence on fluctuating tourism, the isolated location of Hawaii and the potential for natural disasters.
We conduct operations and own properties in Hawaii. Consequently, our business, results of operations and financial condition depend on and are affected by general trends in Hawaii’s economy and real estate market. Hawaii’s economy, although it has significantly recovered, experienced a significant downturn in the most recent recession. Real estate market declines may negatively affect our ability to sell property at a profit. In addition, Hawaii’s economy largely depends on tourism, which is subject to fluctuation. Hawaii historically has also been vulnerable to certain natural disaster risks, such as tsunamis, hurricanes and earthquakes, which could cause damage to properties owned by us or property values to decline in general. Hawaii’s remote and isolated location also may create additional operational costs and expenses, which could have a material adverse impact on our financial results.
We may not be successful in competing with companies in the real estate services and investment industry, some of which may have substantially greater resources than we do.
Real estate investment and services businesses are highly competitive. Our principal competitors include both large multinational companies and national and regional firms, such as Jones Lang LaSalle, Inc. and CBRE Group, Inc. Many of our competitors have greater financial resources and a broader global presence than we do. We compete with companies in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and Japan, with respect to:
• | selling commercial and residential properties on behalf of customers through brokerage and auction services; |
• | leasing and property management, including construction and engineering services; |
• | purchasing commercial and residential properties, as well as undeveloped land for our own account; and |
12
• | acquiring secured and unsecured loans. |
Our services operations must compete with a growing number of national firms seeking to expand market share. We may be unable to compete effectively, maintain current fee levels or arrangements, purchase investment properties profitably or avoid increased competition.
If we are unable to maintain or develop new client relationships, our service business and financial condition could be substantially impaired.
We are highly dependent on long-term client relationships and on revenues received for services with third-party owners and related parties. A considerable amount of our revenues are derived from fees related to our service business. The majority of our property management agreements are cancelable prior to their expiration by the client for any reason on as little as 30 to 60 days’ notice. These agreements also may not be renewed when their respective terms expire. Our failure to maintain existing relationships or to develop and maintain new client relationships, or our loss of a substantial number of management agreements, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Decreases in the performance of the properties we manage are likely to result in a decline in the amount of property management fees and leasing commissions we generate.
Our property management fees are generally structured as a percentage of the revenues generated by the properties that we manage. Similarly, our leasing commissions typically are based on the value of the lease commitments. As a result, our revenues are adversely affected by decreases in the performance of the properties we manage and declines in rental value. Property performance will depend upon, among other things, our ability to control operating expenses (some of which are beyond our control), financial conditions generally and in the specific areas where properties are located and the condition of the real estate market generally. If the performance or rental values of the properties we manage decline, the management fees and leasing commissions we derive from such properties could be materially adversely affected.
Our reliance on third-parties to operate certain of our properties may harm our business.
In some instances, we rely on third party property managers and hotel operators to manage our properties. These third parties are directly responsible for the day-to-day operation of our properties with limited supervision by us, and they often have potentially significant decision-making authority with respect to those properties. Our ability to direct and control how our properties are managed on a day-to-day basis may be limited because we will engage third parties to perform this function. Thus, the success of our business may depend in large part on the ability of our third party property managers to manage the day-to-day operations, and any adversity experienced by our property managers could adversely impact the operation and profitability of our properties
These third parties may fail to manage our properties effectively or in accordance with their agreements with us, may be negligent in their performance and may engage in criminal or fraudulent activity. If any of these events occur, we could incur losses or face liabilities from the loss or injury to our property or to persons at our properties. In addition, disputes may arise between us and these third party managers and operators, and we may incur significant expenses to resolve those disputes or terminate the relevant agreement with these third parties and locate and engage competent and cost-effective service providers to operate and manage the relevant properties. We are also parties to hotel management agreements under which unaffiliated third party property managers manage our hotels. If any of these events occur, our relationships with any franchisors may be damaged, we may be in breach of our franchise agreement, and we could incur liabilities resulting from loss or injury to our property or to persons at our properties. In addition, from time to time, disputes may arise between us and our third party managers regarding their performance or compliance with the terms of the hotel management agreements, which in turn could adversely affect us. If we are unable to resolve such disputes through discussions and negotiations, we may choose to terminate our management agreement, litigate the dispute or submit the matter to third party dispute resolution, the expense of which may be material and the outcome of which may harm our business, operating results or prospects.
Our leasing activities depend on various factors, including tenant occupancy and rental rates, which, if adversely affected, could cause our operating results to suffer.
A significant portion of our property management business involves facilitating the leasing of commercial space. In certain areas of operation, there may be inadequate commercial space to meet demand, and there is a potential for a decline in the number of overall lease and brokerage transactions. In areas where the supply of commercial space exceeds demand, we may not be able to renew leases or obtain new tenants for our owned and managed rental properties as leases expire. Moreover, the terms of new leases and renewals (including renovation costs or costs of concessions to tenants) may be less favorable than current
13
leases. Our revenues may be adversely affected if we fail to promptly find tenants for substantial amounts of vacant space, if rental rates on new or renewal leases are significantly lower than expected, or if reserves for costs of re-leasing prove inadequate. We may be unable to continue to lease properties for our clients and for our own account in a profitable manner.
Our ability to lease properties also depends on:
• | the attractiveness of the properties to tenants; |
• | competition from other available space; |
• | our ability to provide adequate maintenance and obtain insurance and to pay increased operating expenses, which may not be passed through to tenants; |
• | the availability of capital to periodically renovate, repair and maintain the properties, as well as for other operating expenses; and |
• | the existence of potential tenants desiring to lease the properties. |
If we fail to comply with laws and regulations applicable to us in our role as a real estate broker, property/facility manager or developer, we may incur significant financial penalties.
We are subject to numerous federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations specific to the services we perform in our business, as well as laws of broader applicability, such as tax, securities and employment laws. Brokerage of real estate sales and leasing transactions and the provision of property management and valuation services require us to maintain applicable licenses in each U.S. state and certain foreign jurisdictions in which we perform these services. If we fail to maintain our licenses or conduct these activities without a license, or violate any of the regulations covering our licenses, we may be required to pay fines (including treble damages in certain states), return commissions received or have our licenses suspended or revoked.
We have certain obligations in connection with our real estate brokerage services that could subject us to liability if litigation is initiated against us for an alleged breach of any such obligation.
As a licensed real estate broker, we and our licensed employees are subject to certain statutory due diligence, disclosure and standard-of-care obligations. Failure to fulfill these obligations could subject us or our employees to litigation from parties who purchased, sold or leased properties that we brokered or managed. In addition, we may become subject to claims by participants in real estate sales claiming that we did not fulfill our statutory obligations as a broker.
We may become subject to claims for construction defects or other similar actions in connection with the performance of our property management services.
In our property management capacity, we hire and supervise third-party contractors to provide construction and engineering services for our properties. While our role is limited to that of a supervisor, we may be subjected to claims for construction defects or other similar actions. Adverse outcomes of property management litigation could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may be subject to potential environmental liability.
Under various foreign, federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cleanup of hazardous or toxic substances and may be liable to a governmental entity or to third parties for property damage and for investigation and clean-up costs incurred by governmental entities or third parties in connection with the contamination. Such laws typically impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the hazardous or toxic substances, even when the contaminants were associated with previous owners or operators. The costs of investigation, remediation or removal of hazardous or toxic substances may be substantial, and the presence of those substances, or the failure to properly remediate those substances, may adversely affect the owner’s or operator’s ability to sell or rent the affected property or to borrow using the property as collateral. The presence of contamination at a property can impair the value of the property even if the contamination is migrating onto the property from an adjoining property. Additionally, the owner of a site may be subject to claims by parties who have no relation to the property based on damages and costs resulting from environmental contamination emanating from the site.
In connection with the direct or indirect ownership, operation, management and development of real properties, we may be considered an owner or operator of those properties or as having arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. Therefore, we may be potentially liable for removal or remediation costs.
14
Certain foreign, federal, state and local laws, regulations and ordinances also govern the removal, encapsulation or disturbance of asbestos-containing materials during construction, remodeling, renovation or demolition of a building. Such laws may impose liability for the release of asbestos-containing materials, and third parties may seek recovery from owners or operators of real properties for personal injuries associated with asbestos-containing materials. We may be potentially liable for those costs for properties that we own. In the past, we have been required to remove asbestos from certain buildings that we own or manage. We may be required to remove asbestos from our buildings or incur other substantial costs of environmental remediation.
Before consummating the acquisition of a particular piece of real property, it is our policy to retain independent environmental consultants to conduct an environmental review of the real property, including performing a Phase I environmental review. These assessments have included, among other things, a visual inspection of the real properties and the surrounding area and a review of relevant federal, state and historical documents. It is possible that the assessments we commissioned do not reveal all environmental liabilities or that there are material environmental liabilities of which we are currently unaware. Future laws, ordinances or regulations may impose material environmental liability and the current environmental condition of our properties may be affected by tenants, by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of those properties, or by unrelated third parties. Federal, state, local and foreign agencies or private plaintiffs may bring actions against us in the future, and those actions, if adversely resolved, may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We may incur unanticipated expenses relating to laws benefiting disabled persons.
The Americans with Disabilities Act, or the ADA, generally requires that public accommodations, such as hotels and office buildings, be accessible to disabled people. If our properties are not in compliance with the ADA, the U.S. federal government could fine us or private litigants could sue us for monetary damages. In addition, if we are required to make substantial alterations to one or more of our properties in order to comply with the ADA, our results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
We may incur significant costs complying with laws, regulations and covenants that are applicable to our properties and operations.
The properties in our portfolio and our operations are subject to various covenants and federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulatory requirements, including permitting and licensing requirements. Such laws and regulations, including municipal or local ordinances, zoning restrictions and restrictive covenants imposed by community developers, may restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from local officials or community standards organizations at any time with respect to our properties, including prior to acquiring a property or when undertaking renovations of any of our existing properties. Among other things, these restrictions may relate to fire and safety, seismic, asbestos-cleanup or hazardous material abatement requirements. Existing laws and regulations may adversely affect us, the timing or cost of our future acquisitions or renovations may be uncertain, and additional regulations may be adopted that increase such delays or result in additional costs. Our failure to obtain required permits, licenses and zoning relief or to comply with applicable laws could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Our property insurance coverage is limited, and any uninsured losses could cause us to lose part or all of our investment in our insured properties.
We carry comprehensive general liability coverage and umbrella coverage on all of our properties with limits of liability that we deem adequate and appropriate under the circumstances (certain policies subject to deductibles) to insure against liability claims and provide for the cost of legal defense. There are, however, certain types of extraordinary losses that either may be uninsurable or are not generally insured because it is not economically feasible to insure against those losses. Should any uninsured loss occur, we could lose our investment in, and anticipated revenues from, a property, and these losses could have a material adverse effect on our operations. Currently, we also insure some of our properties for loss caused by earthquakes in levels we deem appropriate and, where we believe necessary, for loss caused by flood. The occurrence of an earthquake, flood or other natural disaster may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Risks Related to Our Company
If we are unable to raise additional debt and equity capital, our growth prospects may suffer.
We depend on the capital markets to grow our balance sheet along with third-party equity and debt financings to acquire properties through our investment business, which is a key driver of future growth. We currently intend to raise a significant amount of third-party equity and debt to acquire assets in the ordinary course of our business. We depend on debt financing from a combination of seller financing, the assumption of existing loans, government agencies and financial institutions. We depend on equity financing from equity partners, which include public companies, pension funds, family offices, financial institutions,
15
endowments and money managers. Our access to capital funding is uncertain. Our inability to raise additional capital on terms reasonably acceptable to us could jeopardize the future growth of our business.
The loss of one or more key personnel could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Our continued success depends to a significant degree on the efforts of our senior executives, particularly our chief executive officer, or CEO, who have each been essential to our business. The departure of all or any of our executives for whatever reason or the inability of all or any of them to continue to serve in their present capacities or our inability to attract and retain other qualified personnel could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our executives have built highly regarded reputations in the real estate industry. Our executives attract business opportunities and assist both in negotiations with lenders and potential joint venture partners and in the representation of large and institutional clients. If we lost their services, our relationships with lenders, joint ventures and clients would diminish significantly.
In addition, certain of our officers have strong regional reputations, and they aid in attracting and identifying opportunities and negotiating for us and on behalf of our clients. As we continue to grow, our success will largely depend on our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel in all areas of business. We may be unable to continue to hire and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel to support or keep pace with our planned growth.
The loss of our CEO could have a material adverse effect on our operations.
Our continued success is dependent to a significant degree upon the efforts of our CEO, who is essential to our business. The departure of our CEO for whatever reason or the inability of our CEO to continue to serve in his present capacity could have a material adverse effect upon our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our CEO has built a highly regarded reputation in the real estate industry. Our CEO attracts business opportunities and assists both in negotiations with lenders and potential joint venture partners and in the representation of large and institutional clients. If we lost his services, our relationships with lenders, joint ventures and clients would diminish significantly. Furthermore, the departure of our CEO for whatever reason or the inability of our CEO to continue to serve as our Chairman and CEO would be an event of default under our unsecured revolving loan agreement.
Our revenues and earnings may be materially and adversely affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates due to our international operations.
Our revenues from foreign operations have been primarily denominated in the local currency where the associated revenues were earned. Thus, we may experience significant fluctuations in revenues and earnings because of corresponding fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. To date, our foreign currency exposure has been limited to the Japanese Yen, the Euro and the Pound Sterling. Certain questions have arisen about the viability of the Euro, and there has been speculation that some countries within the Eurozone may elect, or may be forced, to revert to the currency they issued prior to the establishment of the Euro, which could significantly reduce the value of the Euro. Due to the constantly changing currency exposures to which we will be subject and the volatility of currency exchange rates, we may experience currency losses in the future, and we cannot predict the effect of exchange rate fluctuations on future operating results. Our management uses currency hedging instruments from time to time, including foreign currency forward contracts, purchased currency options (where applicable) and foreign currency borrowings. The economic risks associated with these hedging instruments include unexpected fluctuations in foreign currency rates, which could lead to hedging losses or the requirement to post collateral, along with unexpected changes in our underlying net asset position. Our hedging activities may not be effective.
In addition, our foreign operations may subject us to foreign income or other taxes, including at tax rates that exceed those of the United States. Foreign tax laws may also subject any foreign earnings that we repatriate to dividend withholding tax requirements or other restrictions. We may be unable to repatriate non-U.S. earnings in a tax efficient manner, and future new or amended foreign tax and other laws may impose additional restrictions on our ability to repatriate our foreign earnings.
Our results are subject to significant volatility from quarter to quarter due to the varied timing and magnitude of our strategic acquisitions and dispositions and other transactions.
We have experienced a fluctuation in our financial performance from quarter to quarter due in part to the significance of revenues from the sales of real estate and acquisition related gain on overall performance. The timing of purchases and sales of our real estate investments, transactions with our equity partners to take control of real estate or taking control of underlying real estate previously securing loans has varied, and will continue to vary, widely from quarter to quarter due to variability in market opportunities, changes in interest rates, and the overall demand for residential and commercial real estate, among other things. While these factors have contributed to our increased operating income and earnings in past years, we may be unable to
16
continue to perform well due to significant variability in these factors. Moreover, acquisition related gains are non-operating items that result in non-cash gains and do not result in net proceeds to us. Transactions resulting in acquisition related gains have had a material positive impact on our net income, Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in recent periods, and to the extent we do not recognize similar gains in future periods out net income, Consolidated EBITDA and EBITDA could be adversely affected. In addition, the timing and magnitude of brokerage commissions paid to us may vary widely from quarter to quarter depending on overall activity in the general real estate market and the nature of our brokerage assignments, among other things.
We have in the past incurred and may continue in the future to incur significant amounts of debt to finance acquisitions, which could negatively affect our cash flows and subject our properties or other assets to the risk of foreclosure.
We have historically financed new acquisitions with cash derived from secured and unsecured loans and lines of credit. For instance, we typically purchase real property with loans secured by a mortgage on the property acquired. We anticipate to continue this trend. We do not have a policy limiting the amount of debt that we may incur. Accordingly, our management and board of directors have discretion to increase the amount of our outstanding debt at any time. We could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service costs that could adversely affect our results of operations and increase the risk of default on debt. We may incur additional debt from time to time to finance strategic acquisitions, investments, joint ventures or for other purposes, subject to the restrictions contained in the documents governing our indebtedness. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase. If we are required to seek an amendment to our credit agreement, our debt service obligations may be substantially increased.
Some of our debt bears interest at variable rates. As a result, we are subject to fluctuating interest rates that may impact, adversely or otherwise, results of operations and cash flows. We may be subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risks that:
• | cash flow may be insufficient to make required payments of principal and interest; |
• | existing indebtedness on our properties may not be refinanced and our leverage could increase our vulnerability to general economic downturns and adverse competitive and industry conditions, placing us at a disadvantage compared to those of our competitors that are less leveraged; |
• | our debt service obligations could limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and in the commercial real estate services industry; |
• | our failure to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants in the documents governing our indebtedness could result in an event of default that, if not cured or waived, results in foreclosure on substantially all of our assets; and |
• | the terms of available new financing may not be as favorable as the terms of existing indebtedness. |
If we are unable to satisfy the obligations owed to any lender with a lien on one of our properties, the lender could foreclose on the real property or other assets securing the loan and we would lose that property or asset. The loss of any property or asset to foreclosure could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
From time to time, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., rate our significant outstanding debt. These ratings and any downgrades thereof may impact our ability to borrow under any new agreements in the future, and could increase the interest rates of, and require more onerous terms for, any future borrowings, and could also cause a decline in the market price of our common stock. Our earnings may not be sufficient to allow us to pay principal and interest on our debt and meet our other obligations. If we do not have sufficient earnings, we may be required to seek to refinance all or part of our existing debt, sell assets, borrow more money or sell more securities, which we may be unable to do, and our stock price may be adversely affected.
Our debt obligations impose significant operating and financial restrictions, which may prevent us from pursuing certain business opportunities and taking certain actions.
Our existing debt obligations impose, and future debt obligations may impose, significant operating and financial restrictions on us. These restrictions limit or prohibit, among other things, our ability to:
• | incur additional indebtedness; |
• | repay indebtedness (including our 5.875% senior notes due 2024 and our 7.75% senior notes due 2042) prior to stated maturities; |
• | pay dividends on, redeem or repurchase our stock or make other distributions; |
• | make acquisitions or investments; |
• | create or incur liens; |
• | transfer or sell certain assets or merge or consolidate with or into other companies; |
17
• | enter into certain transactions with affiliates; |
• | sell stock in our subsidiaries; |
• | restrict dividends, distributions or other payments from our subsidiaries; and |
• | otherwise conduct necessary corporate activities. |
In addition, our unsecured revolving credit facility require us to maintain compliance with specified financial covenants, including maximum balance sheet leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios. As of December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with these covenants. These covenants could adversely affect our ability to finance our future operations or capital needs and pursue available business opportunities. A breach of any of these covenants could result in a default in respect of the related indebtedness. If a default occurs, the relevant lenders could elect to declare the indebtedness, together with accrued interest and other fees, to be immediately due and payable and proceed against any collateral securing that indebtedness. In addition, a default under one series of our indebtedness may also constitute a default under another series of our indebtedness.
We have guaranteed a number of loans in connection with various equity-method investments, which may result in us being obligated to make substantial payments.
We have provided recourse guarantees associated with loans secured by assets held in various joint venture partnerships. The maximum potential undiscounted amount of future payments that we could be required to make under these guarantees was approximately $54.9 million at December 31, 2014. The guarantees expire through 2021, and our performance under the guarantees would be required to the extent there is a shortfall upon liquidation between the principal amount of the loan and the net sales proceeds of the property. If we were to become obligated to perform on these guarantees, our financial condition could suffer.
We have a number of equity partnerships that subject us to obligations under certain “non-recourse carve out” guarantees that may be triggered in the future.
Most of our real estate properties within our equity partnerships are encumbered by traditional non-recourse debt obligations. In connection with most of these loans, however, we entered into certain “non-recourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for the loans to become partially or fully recourse against us if certain triggering events occur. Although these events are different for each guarantee, some of the common events include:
• | the special purpose property-owning subsidiary’s filing a voluntary petition for bankruptcy; |
• | the special purpose property-owning subsidiary’s failure to maintain its status as a special purpose entity; and |
• | subject to certain conditions, the special purpose property-owning subsidiary’s failure to obtain lender’s written consent prior to obtaining any subordinate financing or encumbering the associated property. |
In the event that any of these triggering events occur and the loans become partially or fully recourse against us, our business, financial condition, results of operations and common stock price could be materially adversely affected.
The deteriorating financial condition and/or results of operations of certain of our clients could adversely affect our business.
We could be adversely affected by the actions and deteriorating financial condition and results of operations of certain of our clients. Losses or defaults by one or more of these clients could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Any of our clients may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its results of operations and financial condition. As a result, a client may fail to make payments when due, become insolvent or declare bankruptcy. Any client bankruptcy or insolvency, or the failure of any client to make payments when due, could result in material losses to our company. A client bankruptcy would delay or preclude full collection of amounts owed to us. Additionally, certain corporate services and property management client agreements require that we advance payroll and other vendor costs on behalf of clients. If such a client were to file bankruptcy or otherwise fail, we may not be able to obtain reimbursement for those costs or for the severance obligations we would incur as a result of the loss of the client.
Our ability to use our net operating loss carryforwards and certain other tax attributes may be limited.
As of December 31, 2014, we had $95.2 million of federal and $87.6 million of California net operating loss carryforwards available to offset future taxable income. Under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, if a corporation undergoes an “ownership change” (generally defined as a greater than 50% change, by value, in its equity ownership over a three year period), the corporation’s ability to use its pre-change net operating loss carryforwards and other pre-change tax attributes to offset its post-change income may be limited. We have not performed a detailed analysis to determine whether an ownership change under Section 382 of the Code has previously occurred. As a result, if we earn net taxable income, our ability
18
to use our pre-change net operating loss carryforwards to offset U.S. federal taxable income may become subject to limitations, which could potentially result in increased future tax liability to us.
If we are unable to maintain and protect our intellectual property, or if third parties assert that we infringe their intellectual property rights, our business could suffer.
Our business depends, in part, on our ability to identify and protect proprietary information and other intellectual property such as our service marks, client lists and information and business methods. The laws of some countries in which we operate may offer only limited protection for our intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of trade secrets, confidentiality policies, non-disclosure and other contractual arrangements and copyright and trademark laws to protect our intellectual property rights. However, we may not adequately protect these rights, and their disclosure to or use by third parties may harm our competitive position. Our inability to detect unauthorized use or take appropriate or timely steps to enforce our intellectual property rights may harm our business.
Also, third parties may claim that our business operations infringe on their intellectual property rights. These claims may harm our reputation, cost us money to defend, distract the attention of our management and prevent us from offering some services.
Confidential intellectual property is increasingly stored or carried on mobile devices, such as laptop computers, which increases the risk of inadvertent disclosure where the mobile devices are lost or stolen and the information has not been adequately safeguarded or encrypted. This also makes it easier for someone with access to our systems, or someone who gains unauthorized access, to steal information and use it to our disadvantage. Advances in technology, which permit increasingly large amounts of information to be stored on mobile devices or on third party “cloud” servers, may exacerbate these risks.
We may fail to comply with section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.
We are subject to section 404 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the related rules of the SEC, which generally require our management and independent registered public accounting firm to report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Although our management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014 and our independent registered public accounting firm has issued an unqualified report as to the same, our management or our independent registered public accounting firm may not be able to come to the same conclusion in future periods. During the course of the review and testing of our internal controls, we may identify deficiencies and weaknesses and be unable to remediate them before we must provide the required reports. If our management or our independent registered public accounting firm is unable to conclude on an ongoing basis that we have effective internal control over financial reporting, our operating results may suffer, investors may lose confidence in our reported financial information and the trading price of our stock may fall.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
Our directors and officers and their affiliates are significant stockholders, which makes it possible for them to have significant influence over the outcome of all matters submitted to stockholders for approval and which influence may be in conflict with our interests and the interests of our other stockholders.
As of December 31, 2014 our directors and executive officers and their respective affiliates owned an aggregate of approximately 21% of the outstanding shares of our common stock. These stockholders will have significant influence over the outcome of all matters submitted for stockholder approval, including the election of our directors and other corporate actions. In addition, such influence by one or more of these stockholders could discourage others from attempting to purchase or take us over in a transaction that would be favorable to our other stockholders or reduce the market price offered for our common stock in such an event.
We may issue additional equity securities, which may dilute your interest in us.
In order to expand our business, we may consider offering and issuing additional equity or equity-based securities. If we issue and sell additional shares of our common stock, the ownership interests of our existing stockholders will be diluted to the extent they do not participate in the offering. The number of shares that we may issue for cash in non-public offerings without stockholder approval will be limited by the rules of the NYSE or other exchange on which our securities are listed. However, we may issue and sell shares of our common stock in public offerings, and there generally are exceptions that allow companies to issue a limited number of equity securities in private offerings without stockholder approval, which could dilute your ownership.
19
The price of our common stock may be volatile.
The trading price of our common stock has historically been and may in the future continue to be volatile due to factors such as:
• | changes in real estate prices; |
• | actual or anticipated fluctuations in our quarterly and annual results and those of our publicly held competitors; |
• | mergers and strategic alliances among any real estate companies; |
• | market conditions in the industry; |
• | changes in government regulation and taxes; |
• | shortfalls in our operating results from levels forecasted by securities analysts; |
• | investor sentiment toward the stock of real estate companies in general; |
• | announcements concerning us or our competitors; and |
• | the general state of the securities markets. |
Our common stock may be delisted, which could limit your ability to trade our common stock and subject us to additional trading restrictions.
Our common stock is listed on the NYSE, a national securities exchange. However, our common stock may not continue to be listed on the NYSE in the future. If the NYSE delists our common stock from trading on its exchange, we could face significant material adverse consequences, including:
• | a limited availability of market quotations for our common stock; |
• | a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for our company; |
• | a decreased ability for us to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future; and |
• | limited liquidity for our stockholders due to thin trading. |
Our staggered board may entrench management and discourage unsolicited stockholder proposals that may be in the best interests of stockholders, and certain anti-takeover provisions in our organizational documents may discourage a change in control.
Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for our board of directors to be divided into three classes, each of which generally serves for a term of three years with only one class of directors being elected in each year. As a result, at any annual meeting only a minority of the board of directors will be considered for election. Since this “staggered board” would prevent our stockholders from replacing a majority of our board of directors at any annual meeting, it may entrench management and discourage unsolicited stockholder proposals that may be in the best interests of stockholders. Additionally, certain provisions of our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and our amended and restated bylaws may have an anti-takeover effect and may delay, defer or prevent a tender offer or takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including those attempts that might result in the payment of a premium over the market price for the shares held by stockholders.
In addition, Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law may, under certain circumstances, make it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect a “business combination” with us for a three-year period. An “interested stockholder” generally is defined as any entity or person that beneficially owns 15% or more of our outstanding voting stock or any entity or person that is an affiliate or associate of such entity or person. A “business combination” generally is defined to include, among other transactions, mergers, consolidations and certain other transactions, including sales, leases or other dispositions of assets with an aggregate market value equal to 10% or more of the aggregate market value of the corporation.
These anti-takeover provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if the third party’s offer may be considered beneficial by many stockholders. As a result, stockholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares.

Our corporate headquarters is located in Beverly Hills, California. We also have 24 other offices throughout the United States, including our disaster recovery office in Austin, Texas, one office in London, England, one office in Dublin, Ireland, one office in Madrid, Spain and one office in Tokyo, Japan. The Beverly Hills office operates as the main investment and asset management center for us in the United States, while the United Kingdom, Ireland, Jersey, Spain and Japan offices are the main investment and asset management center for our respective British, Irish, Spanish and Japanese operations. The remaining office locations primarily operate as property management satellites. In general, we lease all of our offices. In addition, we have on-site property management offices located within properties that we manage. The most significant terms of the leasing arrangements for our offices are the length of the lease and the rent. Our leases have terms varying in duration. The rent payable under our office leases vary significantly from location to location as a result of differences in prevailing commercial real estate rates in different geographic locations. Our management believes that except as provided below, no single office lease is material to our business, results of operations or financial condition. In addition, our management believes there is adequate alternative office space available at acceptable rental rates to meet our needs, although adverse movements in rental rates in some markets may negatively affect our profits in those markets when we enter into new leases.
During 2015, the company currently anticipates that it will move its corporate headquarters from the leased location noted below to fully occupy an approximately 60,000 square foot wholly-owned building also located in Beverly Hills, California.
The following table sets forth certain information regarding our corporate headquarters and regional offices.

Item 3. | Legal Proceedings |
We may be involved in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which we currently believe is material to our business. From time to time, our real estate management division is named in “slip and fall” type litigation relating to buildings we manage. Our standard management agreement contains an indemnity provision whereby the building owner agrees to indemnify us and defend our real estate management division against such claims. In such cases, we are defended by the building owner’s liability insurer.

Performance Graph
The graph below compares the cumulative total return of our common stock from December 31, 2009 through December 31, 2014, with the comparable cumulative return of companies comprising the S&P 500 Index, a peer company previously used, and the S&P 500 Financials index. The graph plots the growth in value of an initial investment of $100 in each of our common stock, the S&P 500 Index, a peer company previously used, and the S&P 500 Financials index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2014, and assumes reinvestment of all dividends, if any, paid on the securities. The stock price performance shown on the graph is not necessarily indicative of future price performance.
The Company previously used CB Richard Ellis, a large commercial real estate services firm, as a comparable peer company. However, management no longer believes this comparison to be relevant given the diversification of Kennedy Wilson's business structure, the growth of our investment business (both domestically and internationally) and the corresponding growth of Kennedy Wilson's investment management platform. Going forward, Kennedy Wilson will use the S&P 500 Financials index, which is a subsector of the S&P 500 index and includes real estate companies and other diversified financial services companies. The information under this caption, “Performance Graph,” is deemed not to be incorporated by reference into any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that such filing specifically states otherwise.

Item 7. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes and the other financial information appearing elsewhere in this report. This discussion and analysis contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. See the section title "Forward-Looking Statements" for more information. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in the forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those discussed in “Risk Factors” on page 9 and elsewhere in this report.
Unless specifically noted otherwise, as used throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis section, “we,” “our,” "us," "the Company" or “Kennedy Wilson” refers to Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. “KWE” refers to Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate plc, a London Stock Exchange listed company that we externally manage through a wholly-owned subsidiary. “Equity partners” refers to the subsidiaries that we consolidate in our financial statements under U.S. GAAP (other than wholly-owned subsidiaries), including KWE, and third-party equity providers. “KW Group” refers to the Company and its subsidiaries that are consolidated in its financial statements under U.S. GAAP (including KWE).
Overview
Kennedy Wilson is a vertically integrated global real estate investment and services company. For over 37 years, we have owned and operated real estate related investments on behalf of our shareholders and our clients with offices in the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Jersey, Spain and Japan.
Our operations are defined by two core business segments, KW Investments and KW Services, which work closely together to identify attractive investment markets and opportunities around the world:
KW Investments - we invest in various types of real estate investments through our investments business, either on our own or with strategic partners, where we are typically the general partner, with a promoted interest in the profits of the business beyond our ownership percentage. The main types of real estate we invest in are listed below:
Multifamily
We focus primarily on apartments in supply-constrained, infill markets. We pursue multifamily acquisition opportunities where we can unlock value through a myriad of strategies, including institutional management, asset rehabilitation, repositioning and creative recapitalization.
Commercial
We source, acquire, and finance various types of commercial real estate that includes office, industrial, retail, and mixed-use assets.
Loan Originations / Discounted Loan Purchases
We originate and/or acquire loans secured by real estate. Our originations and acquisitions include individual notes on all real estate property types as well as portfolios of loans purchased from financial institutions, corporations and government agencies. Our loan investment portfolio is principally related to loans acquired at a discount from their contractual balance due as a result of deteriorated credit quality of the borrower. Such loans are underwritten by us based on the value of the underlying real estate collateral. Due to the discounted purchase price, we seek and are generally able to accomplish near term realization of the loan in a cash settlement or by obtaining title to the property. Accordingly, the credit quality of the borrower is not of substantial importance to our evaluation of the risk of recovery from the investment.
Residential, Hotel, and Other
In certain cases, we may pursue for sale housing acquisition opportunities, including land for entitlements, finished lots, urban infill condominium site and partially finished and finished condominium projects. This group also includes our investment in hotels and our investments in marketable securities.
KW Services - our services business offers a comprehensive line of real estate services for the full lifecycle of real estate ownership. Below are the product types we offer through the KW services segment:
Investment Management
We provide acquisition, asset management and disposition services to our equity partners as well as to third parties. In addition, one of Kennedy Wilson's wholly-owned subsidiaries (“KWE Manager”) is the external manager of KWE pursuant to an investment management agreement in which capacity we are entitled to receive certain management and
26
performance fees. KWE Manager is paid an annual management fee (payable quarterly in arrears) equal to 1% of KWE’s adjusted net asset value (reported by KWE to be $2.1 billion at December 31, 2014) and certain performance fees. The management fee payable to KWE Manager is paid half in cash and half in shares of KWE. A wholly-owned subsidiary of Kennedy Wilson is also entitled to receive an annual performance fee equal to 20% of the lesser of the excess of the shareholder return for the relevant year (defined as the change in KWE’s adjusted net asset value per ordinary share) over a 10% annual return hurdle, and the excess of year-end adjusted net asset value per ordinary share over a “high water mark”. The performance fee is payable in shares of KWE that vest equally over a three-year period. No such fee has been earned by Kennedy Wilson as of December 31, 2014. Under US GAAP, we are required to consolidate the results of KWE and as such fees earned from KWE are eliminated in consolidation.
Property Services
This division manages commercial real estate for third-party clients, fund investors, and investments held by the Company.
In addition to earning property management fees, consulting fees, lease commissions, construction management fees, disposition fees, and accounting fees, the property services group gives Kennedy Wilson insight into local markets and potential acquisitions.
Research
Meyers Research LLC (“Meyers”), a Kennedy Wilson company, is a premier consulting practice and the industry’s leading provider of data and analytics for the residential real estate development and new home construction industry. Meyers' proprietary iPad application, Zonda, launched in 2013 and provides market insight for the homebuilding industry with real-time data on over 250 metrics impacting the housing market on a national and local level.
Auction and Conventional Sales
The auction and conventional sales group provides innovative marketing and sales strategies for all types of commercial and residential real estate, including single family homes, mixed-use developments, estate homes, multifamily dwellings, new home projects, conversions and scattered properties.
Brokerage
The brokerage group specializes in innovative marketing programs tailored to client objectives for all types of investment grade and income producing real estate.
Financial Measures and Descriptions
Our key financial measures and indicators are discussed below. Please refer to the critical accounting policies in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional detail regarding the GAAP recognition policies associated with the captions described below.
Revenues
Investment Management, Property Services and Research Fees - Investment management, property services, and research fees are primarily comprised of base asset management fees, performance based fees, and acquisition fees generated by our investment management division, property management fees generated by our property services division, leasing fees and sales commissions generated by our brokerage and auction divisions, and consulting fees generated by Meyers.
Rental and hotel income - rental and hotel income is comprised of rental income earned by our consolidated real estate investments and hotel revenue earned by our consolidated hotels.
Loans and other income- Loans and other income is primarily composed of interest income earned on the Company’s loan originations and investments in discounted loan purchases.
Sale of real estate - sales of real estate consists of gross sales proceeds received on the sale of consolidated real estate that is not defined as a business by generally accepted accounting principles. This typically includes the sale of condominium units.
Expenses
Commission and marketing expenses - commission and marketing expenses includes fees paid to third party sales and leasing agents as well as business development costs necessary to generate revenues.
27
Rental and hotel operating expenses - rental and hotel operating expenses consists of operating expenses of our consolidated real estate investments, including items such as property taxes, insurance, maintenance and repairs, utilities, supplies, salaries and management fees.
Compensation and related expenses - compensation and related expenses include: (a) employee compensation, comprising of salary, bonus, employer payroll taxes and benefits paid on behalf of employees and (b) share-based compensation associated with the grants of share-based awards.
General and administrative - general and administrative expenses represent administrative costs necessary to run KW Group's business and include things such as occupancy and equipment expenses, professional fees, public company costs, travel and related expenses, and communications and information services.
Depreciation and amortization - depreciation and amortization is comprised of depreciation expense which is recognized ratably over the useful life of an asset and amortization expense which primarily consist of the amortization of assets allocated to the value of in-place leases upon acquisition of a consolidated real estate asset or the amortization of loan fees.
Non-Operating Income (Expense)
Income from unconsolidated investments - Income from unconsolidated investments consists of (a) the Company’s share of income or loss earned on investments in which the Company can exercise significant influence but does not have control, and (b) interest income from unconsolidated loan pool participations. Additionally, interest income from loan pool participations are recognized on a level yield basis, where a level yield model is utilized to determine a yield rate which, based upon projected future cash flows, accretes interest income over the estimated holding period. See the unconsolidated investments footnote of the attached notes to the consolidated financial statements for summarized financial data, including balance sheet and income statement information of the underlying investments.
Acquisition-related gains - Acquisition-related gains consist of non-cash gains recognized by the Company upon a GAAP required fair value remeasurement due to a business combination. These gains are typically recognized when the Company converts a loan into consolidated real estate owned and the fair value of the underlying real estate exceeds the basis in the previously held loan. These gains also arise when there is a change of control of an existing investment. The gain amount is based upon the fair value of the Company’s equity in the investment in excess of the carrying amount of the equity directly preceding the change of control.
Acquisition-related expenses - Acquisition-related expenses consists of the costs incurred to acquire assets, such as stamp duty taxes on foreign transactions, as well as the write off of any costs associated with acquisitions which did not materialize.
Interest expense - corporate debt - Interest expense - corporate debt represents interest costs associated with our senior notes payable, junior subordinated debentures and line of credit facility. This debt is unsecured and we typically use the funds generated from corporate borrowings to fund new investments.
Interest expense - investment - Interest expense -investment represents interest costs associated with mortgages on our consolidated real estate. These mortgages are typically secured by the underlying real estate collateral.
Other Income - Other income includes the realized foreign currency exchange income or loss relating to the settlement of foreign transactions during the year which arise due to changes in currency exchange rates, realized gains or losses related to the settlement of derivative instruments, the gain or loss on the sale of marketable securities, and other non-operating interest income.
Income taxes - The Company’s services business operates globally as corporate entities subject to federal, state, and local income taxes and the investment business operates through various partnership structures to participate in multifamily, office and residential property acquisitions as well as originate loans and purchases loan pools. The Company’s distributive share of income from its partnership investments will be subject to federal, state, and local taxes at the entity level and the related tax provision attributable to the Company’s share of the income tax is reflected in the consolidated financial statements.
Noncontrolling Interests - Noncontrolling interests represents income or loss attributable to equity partners for their ownership in investments which the Company controls. Income or loss is attributed to noncontrolling interest partners based on their respective ownership interest in an investment.
Accumulated other comprehensive income - Accumulated other comprehensive income represents the Company's share of foreign currency movement on translating KW Group's foreign subsidiaries from their functional currency into the Company's
28
reporting currency. These amounts are offset by KW Group's effective portion of currency related hedge instruments. Unrealized changes in fair value on the Company's investment in marketable securities are also included in this account.
Foreign Currency
As of December 31, 2014, approximately 45% of our investment account is invested through our foreign platforms in their local currencies. Investment level debt is generally incurred in local currencies and there we consider our equity investment as the appropriate exposure to evaluate for hedging purposes. Fluctuations in foreign exchanges rates may have a significant impact on the results of our operations. In order to manage the effect of these fluctuations, we generally hedge our book equity exposure to foreign currencies through currency forward contracts and options. We typically hedge 50%-100% of book equity exposure against these foreign currencies.
Non-GAAP Measures and Certain Definitions
EBITDA and Adjusted EBTIDA
Consolidated EBITDA(1) - Consolidated EBITDA represents net income before interest expense, our share of interest expense included in income from investments in joint ventures and loan pool participations, depreciation and amortization, our share of depreciation and amortization included in income from investments in joint ventures, loss on early extinguishment of corporate debt and income taxes. We do not adjust Consolidated EBITDA for gains or losses on the extinguishment of mortgage debt as we are in the business of purchasing discounted notes secured by real estate and, in connection with these note purchases, we may resolve these loans through discounted payoffs with the borrowers. Our management believes Consolidated EBITDA is useful in evaluating our operating performance compared to that of other companies in our industry because the calculation of Consolidated EBITDA generally eliminates the effects of financing and income taxes and the accounting effects of capital spending and acquisitions.
Adjusted EBITDA(1) - represents Consolidated EBITDA, as defined above, adjusted to exclude merger related compensation expenses, share based compensation expense, and EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests. Our management uses Adjusted EBITDA to analyze our business because it adjusts EBITDA for items we believe do not accurately reflect the nature of our business going forward or that relate to non-cash compensation expense or noncontrolling interests. Additionally, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assist them in getting a more accurate picture of our results from operations. Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.
Adjusted fees refers to Kennedy Wilson’s investment management, property services and research fees adjusted to include fees eliminated in consolidation and Kennedy Wilson’s share of fees in unconsolidated service businesses.
Adjusted Net Asset Value is calculated by KWE as net asset value adjusted to include properties and other investment interests at fair value and to exclude certain items not expected to crystallize in a long-term investment property business model such as the fair value of financial derivatives and deferred taxes on property valuation surpluses.
Adjusted Net Income represents Consolidated Adjusted Net Income as defined below, adjusted to exclude net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, before depreciation and amortization.
Consolidated Adjusted Net Income represents net income before depreciation and amortization, our share of depreciation and amortization included in income from unconsolidated investments and share based compensation expense.
Consolidated investment account refers to the sum of Kennedy Wilson’s equity in: cash held by consolidated investments, consolidated real estate and acquired in-place leases, unconsolidated investments and consolidated loans gross of accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Equity partners refers to subsidiaries that we consolidate in our financial statements under U.S. GAAP (other than wholly-owned subsidiaries), including KWE, and third-party equity providers.
Investment account refers to the consolidated investment account presented after noncontrolling interest on invested assets gross of accumulated depreciation.
(1) Consolidated EBITDA, as defined above, is not a recognized term under GAAP and does not purport to be an alternative to net earnings as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity. Additionally, Consolidated EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow available for management's discretionary use, as it does not remove all non-cash items (such as acquisition related gains) or consider certain cash requirements such as
29
interest payments, tax payments and debt service requirements. Our presentation of Consolidated EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under GAAP. Consolidated EBITDA is not calculated under GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income, cash flows or other financial data prepared in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of our overall profitability or liquidity. Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA represents Consolidated EBITDA, as defined above, adjusted to exclude corporate merger related compensation expenses, share based compensation expense, and EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests. Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. However, Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized measurements under GAAP and when analyzing our operating performance, readers should use Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, our presentation of Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for our management’s discretionary use, as it does not remove all non-cash items (such as acquisition related gains) or consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The amounts shown for Consolidated EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA also differ from the amounts calculated under similarly titled definitions in our debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used to determine compliance with financial covenants and our ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments.

(1) (2) See definitions in Non-GAAP Measures and Certain Definitions above. Prior to 2014, the Company reported an Adjusted EBITDA metric that was comparable to the Company’s current Consolidated EBITDA metric, as it was calculated as Consolidated EBITDA, adjusted to solely exclude merger related expenses and share based compensation expense. Beginning in 2014, as noncontrolling interests became more significant on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, primarily due to the consolidation of KWE’s results in the Company’s financial statements, the Company determined that it was appropriate to supplement Consolidated EBITDA with a revised metric. Adjusted EBITDA shown above is calculated as Consolidated EBITDA, adjusted to exclude share based compensation expense and EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests. As set forth in the reconciliation table above, EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $138.3 million, $26.0 million, $2.8 million, $1.0 million, and $3.0 million, respectively.

The following compares results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.
KW Group Consolidated Financial Results and Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2014 and 2013
KW Group's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 were $398.6 million and $123.1 million, respectively. Total operating expenses (which includes depreciation and amortization of $104.5 million and $17.4 million, respectively) for the same periods were $403.1 million and $149.1 million, respectively. Net income attributable to our common shareholders was $13.8 million in 2014 compared to a net loss of $14.5 million in 2013. Consolidated EBITDA was $440.3 million and $177.6 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was $317.8 million and $159.1 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively. The Company achieved a 148% increase in Consolidated EBITDA and a 100% increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013.
Revenues
Investments Segment Revenues
Income is earned on the following types of investments:
•rental income on multifamily and commercial properties;
•hotel income;
•interest income on loans; and
•sales of real estate
Rental and hotel income increased to $270.2 million in 2014 from $43.0 million in 2013. The $227.2 million increase is primarily due to $3.2 billion in consolidated acquisitions (including $2.4 billion by KWE) during 2014 and consolidations of investments which were previously unconsolidated in the latter half of 2013 and the first half of 2014.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, we sold 10 condominium units generating $28.4 million of proceeds from the sale of real estate. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we sold 44 condominium units, generating $10.1 million of proceeds from the sale of real estate.
Loans and other income was $17.4 million in 2014 compared to $1.9 million 2013. The $15.5 million increase was mainly due to the acquisition of the notes on the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin, Ireland, during the first quarter of 2014 and interest received on other discounted loan purchases by KWE throughout the year. On August 1, 2014, we took title to the Shelbourne Hotel and the loan was converted to real estate.
Services Segment Revenues
Fees are earned on the following types of services provided:
• | investment management, including acquisition, asset management and disposition services; |
• | property services, including management of commercial real estate for third-party clients, fund investors, and investments held by KW Group; |
• | research, including consulting practice and data and analytics for the residential real estate development and new home construction industry; |
• | auction and conventional sales, including innovative marketing and sales strategies for all types of commercial and residential real estate, including single family homes, mixed-use developments, estate homes, multifamily dwellings, new home projects, conversions and scattered properties; and |
• | brokerage services, including innovative marketing programs tailored to client objectives for all types of investment grade and income producing real estate. |
Third Party Services - These are fees earned from third parties and relate to assets in which Kennedy Wilson does not have an ownership interest.
KW Group's third party fees increased by $3.1 million to $25.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $22.1 million for 2013.
35
Related Party Services
Our related party fees generated revenues of $57.4 million in 2014 compared to $46.0 million in 2013. The increase in related party revenues primarily relates to management fees earned on the sale of a portfolio of commercial properties located in Dublin, Ireland. This increase was partially offset by acquisition fees of earned in 2013 related to the UK Loan Pool which was fully resolved during the second quarter of 2014.
Additionally, we earn certain fees on investments that we consolidate under US GAAP. As such, these fees are eliminated and excluded from total fees of $57.4 million and $46.0 million. For the year ended December 31, 2014, fees eliminated in consolidation totaled $21.6 million, a $17.3 million increase from the $4.3 million for the same period in 2013 primarily due to the fees earned by Kennedy Wilson for its management of KWE. Total management fees earned from KWE, which were eliminated in consolidation, were $14.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. No performance was earned in 2014.
Operating Expenses
Investments Segment Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 increased to $306.1 million compared to $86.5 million in 2013. The increase is attributable to the following:
Rental and hotel operating expenses increased by $97.5 million and depreciation and amortization increased by $87.1 million due to $3.2 billion in consolidated acquisitions (including $2.4 billion of acquisitions by KWE) during 2014 and consolidations of investments which were previously unconsolidated in the latter half of 2013 and the first half of 2014.
Compensation and related expenses increased by $12.7 million due to a 10% increase in personnel, particularly due to growth and expansion in the United Kingdom and Ireland including the launch of KWE. This increase included accrued discretionary compensation. General and administrative expenses increased by $8.9 million primarily due to growing operations in the United Kingdom and Ireland including the launch of KWE.
During the year ended December 31, 2014 we sold 10 condominium units which resulted in $20.7 million of sale-related costs. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we sold 44 condominium units which resulted in $7.9 million of sale-related costs.
Services Segment Operating Expenses
Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the year ended December 31, 2014 were approximately $61.1 million as compared to $40.7 million for 2013. The increase is attributable to the following:
Compensation and related expenses increased by $11.4 million due to an increase in personnel, accrued discretionary compensation and stock-based compensation. As a result of the expansion in our Meyers group, we increased our head count in order to service the demand of our customers in the capital sourcing and real estate research for the single-family homebuilding and multifamily apartment industries. Additionally, due to the growth in our Services Consolidated EBITDA, there was an increase in our accrued discretionary compensation.
General and administrative expenses increased by $7.7 million primarily due to the growth of KW Group specifically in the United Kingdom, Ireland, and Meyers.
Commissions and marketing expenses increased by $1.4 million due to the increase in leasing activity during 2014 as compared to 2013.
Corporate Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2014 were approximately $35.8 million as compared to $21.9 million in 2013. Compensation and related expenses increased by $13.0 million primarily due to the increase in accrued discretionary compensation in connection with the increase in Adjusted EBITDA and the additional resources and costs associated with growing the Company.
Income from Unconsolidated Investments
Investments Segment Income from Unconsolidated Investments
36
Income from unconsolidated investments generated income of $54.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared to income of $41.4 million in 2013. During the second quarter in 2014, the Company and its equity partners sold a portfolio of commercial properties located primarily in Dublin, Ireland to KWE. This transaction was unanimously approved by the independent shareholders of KWE. As a result of the sale, the Company recorded a profit of $26.6 million on its 25% interest in the investment. The current period also includes gains relating to the sale of three commercial properties in the Western United States by Kennedy Wilson and its equity partners.
During 2013, the Company and one of its equity partners foreclosed on a class A office building and an adjacent 3.5 acre site in Dublin, Ireland, resulting in an acquisition-related gain of $30.1 million. The Company's portion of the gain was $15.0 million and was recognized in income from unconsolidated investments.
In 2013, the Company and one of its equity partners converted a mortgage note purchased in the fourth quarter of 2012 by the Company and its equity partners into a 100% equity interest on The Rock, a retail, residential and entertainment center in Manchester, United Kingdom. As a result of the conversion, the unconsolidated investment was required to consolidate the assets and liabilities at fair value. As the fair value of the assets were in excess of the basis in the previously held mortgage note, the unconsolidated investment recognized a $32.3 million acquisition-related gain. The Company's portion of the gain was $16.2 million and was recognized in income from unconsolidated investments.
Additionally, included in income from unconsolidated investments are acquisition costs. During the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately $13.5 million of acquisition costs were included in income from unconsolidated investments. The acquisition costs relate to professional fees and the payment of stamp duty taxes in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Services Segment Income from Unconsolidated Investments
During the year ended December 31, 2014, income from unconsolidated investments was $5.9 million with no comparable activity in 2013. During the fourth quarter of 2013, Kennedy Wilson along with an equity partner acquired an interest in a loan servicing platform in Spain with approximately €23.0 billion of assets under management. The income recognized during 2014 relates to this acquisition.
Non-Operating Income (Expense)
Acquisition-related gains were $218.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $56.6 million in 2013. On March 31, 2014, Kennedy Wilson and one of its equity partners amended existing operating agreements governing six separate joint ventures that hold real estate-related investments located in the U.K. and Ireland. Kennedy Wilson has an approximate 50% ownership interest in these investments. On June 30, 2014, Kennedy Wilson and one of its equity partners amended an existing operating agreement governing 50 multifamily buildings in and around Tokyo, Japan comprising approximately 2,400 units. Kennedy Wilson has an approximate 41% ownership interest in these investments. These joint ventures were previously accounted for by Kennedy Wilson on an equity method basis. As the fair value of Kennedy Wilson's interests in these properties were in excess of the carrying value, acquisition-related gains of $150.8 million were recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2014.
In addition, during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, we foreclosed on a 133,000 square foot retail center and an adjacent 2.4 acre vacant lot in Van Nuys, California. As a result of the foreclosure and taking title to the properties, we consolidated the assets and liabilities at fair value. As the fair value of the assets was in excess of the basis in the previously held mortgage notes, we recognized a $3.7 million acquisition related gain. Also during the quarter ended June 30, 2014, KWE acquired subordinated notes secured by 20 commercial properties located throughout England and Scotland and used its position as a debt holder to secure the acquisition of the underlying properties. This transaction resulted in the recognition of an acquisition-related gain of $15.6 million due to the ability to acquire the underlying real estate at a discount to its fair value.
In August 2014, Kennedy Wilson converted its note secured by the landmark Shelbourne Hotel located in Dublin, Ireland into a direct 100% ownership interest in the property. As a result of taking title to the property, the assets and liabilities were consolidated in KW Group's financial statements at fair value and an acquisition-related gain of $28.6 million was recognized. In December 2014, the Company increased its ownership from approximately 42% to approximately 87% in a previously unconsolidated 750-unit apartment building in the Western U.S. As a result of gaining control of the asset, the Company was required to consolidate the assets and liabilities at fair value and recognized an acquisition-related gain of $19.5 million of which $3.7 million was allocated to our noncontrolling equity partners.
The acquisition related gains in 2013 are primarily attributable to a $45.1 million gain on the consolidation of the Ritz Carlton, Lake Tahoe and a $9.5 million gain from acquiring a controlling interest in a multifamily property in Northern California. The gain associated with the Ritz Carlton, Lake Tahoe is due to the Company and one of its equity partners amending an existing operating agreement where the Company gained control of the property which was previously accounted for as an equity method investment. The gain associated with the multifamily property was triggered when the Company acquired the interests of some of its equity partners which increased the Company's ownership from 15% to 94%. As a result of obtaining control of both
37
properties and as the fair value was in excess of the carrying value of its ownership interests, the acquisition gains noted above were recognized.
Acquisition related expenses were $19.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to $1.6 million in 2013. The increase is primarily due to acquisition activity by KWE for the year, which launched in February 2014.
Interest expense associated with corporate debt was $57.1 million in 2014 as compared to $39.9 million in 2013. The increase in corporate interest expense is attributable to the issuance of $300.0 million aggregate principal of the 2024 Notes which occurred in March 2014 and interest incurred on the revolving line of credit, which had a higher average balance outstanding and committed amount available which both lead to increases in interest expense.
Interest expense associated with the investment debt was $46.3 million in 2014 as compared to $11.8 million. The increase is due to the acquisition of new investments and consolidations of previously consolidated investments in the latter half of 2013 and during 2014, including acquisitions made by and the consolidation of KWE.
Loss on early extinguishment of corporate debt was $27.3 million in 2014 with no comparable activity in 2013. The loss was due to the early repayment of $40 million of our junior subordinated debt in the third quarter and the refinancing of $350 million of 8.75% senior notes due 2019 with the proceeds of $350 million of 5.875% senior notes due 2024 and cash on hand in the fourth quarter. The payoff of the junior subordinated debt and the refinancing of our 8.75% Senior Notes will save the Company approximately $13.7 million annually in interest.
Provision for income taxes was $32.4 million in 2014 as compared to a provision for income taxes of $2.9 million in 2013 due to higher taxable income in the United States. The Company had $114.4 million and $73.2 million of federal and state net operating losses as of December 31, 2013, respectively.
We had net income of $68.2 million attributable to noncontrolling interest during the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to net income attributable to noncontrolling interest of $20.3 million during the same period for 2013. The increase is mainly due to the $78.7 million of the total $218.1 million acquisition-related gains described above being allocated to noncontrolling interest holders and the consolidation of KWE, in which our ownership was 14.9% of KWE's total share capital as of December 31, 2014.
We had accumulated other comprehensive loss of $28.2 million at December 31, 2014 compared to accumulated other comprehensive income of $9.2 million ad December 31, 2013. The decrease of $37.4 million is a result of having increased international investments which are denominated in foreign currencies. During the year December 31, 2014 approximately 45% of our investment account is denominated in foreign currencies that all weakened against the U.S. dollar, including the Euro, the British pound sterling, and the Japanese yen. Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates affect reported amounts of our total assets and liabilities, which are reflected in our financial statements as translated into U.S. dollars for each financial reporting period at the exchange rate in effect on the respective balance sheet dates, and our total revenue and expenses, which are reflected in our financial statements as translated into U.S. dollars at the average exchange rate for each financial reporting period.
We routinely monitor our exposure to currency exchange rate changes in connection with our international investments and enter into foreign currency exchange swap, option and forward contracts to limit our exposure to such transactions, as appropriate. We typically hedge 50%-100% of book equity exposure against these foreign currencies. Please refer to note 6 in the notes to our consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding our forward currency contracts and option positions as of December 31, 2014.
KW Group Consolidated Financial Results and Comparison of the Years Ended December 31, 2013 and 2012
KW Group's revenues for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $123.1 million and $66.9 million. Total operating expenses for the same periods were $149.1 million and $91.5 million, respectively. Net loss attributable to our common shareholders was $14.5 million and $3.9 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Consolidated EBITDA was $177.6 million and $92.1 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA was $159.1 million and $97.4 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively. The Company achieved a 93% increase in Consolidated EBITDA and a 59% increase in Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012.
Revenues
Investments Segment Revenues
38
Rental and hotel income increased to $43.0 million in 2013 from $8.5 million in 2012. The $34.5 million increase is due to $18.1 million in rental income from new acquisitions and consolidations of previously unconsolidated investments in 2013 and $16.3 million from properties acquired at the end of 2012.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, we sold 44 condominium units generating $10.1 million of proceeds from the sale of real estate. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we sold five condominium units, generating $2.3 million of proceeds from the sale of real estate.
Services Segment Revenues
Third Party Services - These are fees earned from third parties and relate to assets in which Kennedy Wilson does not have an ownership interest.
Our third party fees increased to $18.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2013 as compared to $15.8 million for the same period in 2012. The $2.3 million or 15% increase primarily relates to the acquisition of Meyers in March 2012.
Our third party commission revenues were at $4.0 million in 2013 as compared to $5.0 million in 2012. The decrease is driven by our auction services business which has historically been countercyclical. Improvements in the U.S. real estate markets have caused auction service revenues to decrease.
Related Party Services
Our related party fees generated revenues of $36.0 million in 2013 compared to $24.5 million in 2012. The $11.5 million, or 47%, increase primarily relates to an increase of $6.6 million in additional asset management fees earned on a loan pool we acquired in the United Kingdom due to the expected resolution period being shortened to two years from the initial budget of three years. In addition, we earned $2.7 million in asset management fees relating to a new loan pool in the United Kingdom that was entered into in December 2012. Also during 2013, additional base management fees were earned mainly due to the admission of new investors into one of our funds and as a result of our increased investment activity in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
In 2013, our related party commission revenues were $10.0 million compared to $8.0 million in 2012. The increase in commission revenues are primarily driven by acquisition fees earned on increased investment activity mainly in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Additionally, we earn certain fees on investments that we consolidate under US GAAP. As such, these fees are eliminated and excluded from total fees of $46.0 million and $32.5 million as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2013, fees eliminated in consolidation totaled $4.3 million, a slight decrease of $0.3 million from the $4.6 million for the same period in 2012.
Operating Expenses
Investments Segment Operating Expenses
Operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased to $84.7 million compared to $41.3 million for the same period in 2012. The increase is attributable to the following:
Compensation and related expenses increased by $9.3 million due to an increase in personnel, particularly due to our growth and expansion in the United Kingdom and Ireland, to source and execute on acquisition opportunities. Additionally, accrued discretionary compensation increased in connection with the increase in Investments Consolidated EBITDA. General and administrative expenses increased by $2.9 million primarily due to increased travel and rental expense relating to our growing operations in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Rental and hotel operating expenses increased by $14.4 million and depreciation and amortization increased by $11.2 million due to the acquisitions during 2013 and the end of 2012.
During the year ended December 31, 2013 we sold 44 condominium units which resulted in $7.9 million of sale-related costs. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we sold five condominium units which resulted in $2.2 million of sale-related costs.
Services Segment Operating Expenses
Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the year ended December 31, 2013 were approximately $40.7 million as compared to $33.1 million for the same period in 2012. The increase is attributable to the following:
39
Compensation and related expenses increased by $6.0 million due to an increase in personnel and in accrued discretionary compensation. As a result of the expansion in our Meyers group, we increased our head count in order to service the demand of our customers in the capital sourcing and real estate research for the single-family homebuilding and multifamily apartment industries. Additionally, due to the growth in our Services Consolidated EBITDA there was an increase in our accrued discretionary compensation.
General and administrative expenses increased by $2.5 million primarily due to the growth of the Company specifically in the United Kingdom and Ireland and the Meyers expansion.
Commissions and marketing expenses decreased by $1.0 million due to the decrease in auction sales previously discussed.
Corporate Operating Expenses
Operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization expense) for the year ended December 31, 2013 were approximately $21.9 million as compared to $16.7 million for the same period in 2012. Compensation and related expenses increased by $5.5 million primarily due to the increase in accrued discretionary compensation in connection with the increase in Adjusted EBITDA and the additional resources and costs associated with growing the Company.
Investments Segment Income from Unconsolidated Investments
Income from unconsolidated investments was $29.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to income of $21.5 million in 2012. The income in 2013 and 2012 was primarily derived from conversions of loans into real estate, property sales and fair value gains as further discussed below.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company and its equity partners converted three loans into real estate which resulted in gains of $72.5 million, of which $36.2 million was a gain to us and $36.3 million to our noncontrolling interest holders. In addition, there were gains of $57.1 million, of which $13.4 million was a gain to us and $43.2 million to our noncontrolling interest holders. Included in income from unconsolidated investments are one-time acquisition costs which are non-recurring. During the year ended December 31, 2013, approximately $13.5 million of acquisition costs were included in income from unconsolidated investments.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company and its equity partners sold six multifamily properties (through property sales and sale of equity interest) located in the Western United States for a total of $251.7 million, which resulted in a total gain of $33.7 million, of which $10.1 million was a gain to us and $3.0 million to our noncontrolling interest holders. In addition, we recognized $9.4 million of unrealized fair value gains. During the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately $2.4 million of acquisition costs were included in equity in joint venture income.
Our share of depreciation generated at the joint venture level was $46.7 million and $22.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. We look at income from unconsolidated investments plus our share of the joint ventures depreciation to get a better sense of earnings before depreciation and amortization. Those amounts were $76.5 million and $44.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, representing a 73% increase.
Investments Segment Income from Unconsolidated Investments
Income from unconsolidated investments generated income of $13.5 million in 2013 as compared to $9.2 million in 2012.
Before August 2012 and December 31, 2013, we acquired three additional loan pools in the United Kingdom and one in Ireland which together provided $2.3 million of additional interest income during the year ended December 31, 2013. We accreted an additional $0.6 million of interest income on a loan pool we acquired in the United Kingdom as compared to the same period in 2012 due to the expected resolution period being shortened to two years from the initial budget of three years. Additionally, we had a $2.6 million increase in accreted income from loan pools in the Western United States due to an increase in resolution periods on one pool in 2012 which led to a decrease in accreted income for the year ended December 31, 2012. Offsetting these increases in the year ended December 31, 2013 was a $1.2 million decrease in interest income on our notes receivable mainly due to a note we held on a multifamily property that was converted to real estate at the end of 2012.
Non-Operating Income (Expenses)
Acquisition-related gains were $56.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $25.5 million for the same period in 2012. The acquisition related gains in 2013 are primarily attributable to a $45.1 million gain on the consolidation of the Ritz Carlton, Lake Tahoe and a $9.5 million gain from acquiring a controlling interest in a multifamily property in Northern California. The gain associated with the Ritz Carlton, Lake Tahoe is due to the Company and one of its equity partners amending an existing operating agreement where the Company gained control of the property which was previously accounted for as an equity method investment. The gain associated with the multifamily property was triggered when the Company acquired the
40
interests of some of its equity partners which increased the Company's ownership from 15% to 94%. As a result of obtaining control of both properties and as the fair value was in excess of the carrying value of its ownership interests, the acquisition gains above were recognized. The acquisition-related gains in 2012 is mainly due to a change of control and resulting consolidation of KW Property Fund II, LP ("Fund II"), a limited partnership that had been previously accounted for using the equity method. As the fair value was in excess of the carrying value of our equity method ownership interest, we recorded an acquisition related gain in the amount of $22.8 million.
Acquisition related expenses were $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $0.7 million for the same period in 2012. The increase is due to increased acquisition activity and the write off of costs associated with potential acquisitions which ultimately did not materialize.
Interest expense associated with corporate debt was $39.9 million in 2013 as compared to $26.1 million in 2012. The increase is due to the issuance of an additional $100.0 million aggregate principal of the 2019 Notes and $55.0 million aggregate principal of the 2042 Notes which both occurred in December 2012. Also, our revolving line of credit had a higher average balance outstanding and committed amount available in 2013 as compared to 2012, which both led to increases in interest expense.
Interest expense associated with investments was $11.8 million in 2013 as compared to $2.5 million. The increase is due to the acquisitions that we closed during 2013 and the end of 2012.
There were no gains on marketable securities during the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $4.3 million during 2012. The gain in the prior period related to the sale of the Company's investment in the ordinary stock of the Bank of Ireland.
Foreign currency translation loss was $2.8 million during the year end December 31, 2013 compared to no comparable activity in the prior period due to the recognition of foreign currency loss on a loan pool we acquired in the United Kingdom as the investment was substantially liquidated at the end of 2013.
Provision for income taxes was $2.9 million in 2013 as compared to a benefit from income taxes of $0.2 million in 2012 due to higher taxable income in the United States. The Company had $114.4 million and $73.2 million of federal and state net operating losses as of December 31, 2013.
We had net income of $20.3 million attributable to a non-controlling interests in 2013 compared to $2.5 million in 2012. The increase is due to $22.6 million of the Ritz Carlton, Lake Tahoe acquisition-related gain of the total $56.6 million described above being allocated to the Company's non-controlling equity partner. This was offset by interest and depreciation expense associated with Fund II being allocated to noncontrolling interest holders. During 2012 the net income attributable to non-controlling interest holders was primarily due to a gain from the sale of a multifamily property.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital resources requirements include acquisitions of real estate and real estate related assets, capital expenditures for consolidated real estate and unconsolidated investments and working capital needs. We finance these operations with internally generated funds, borrowings under our revolving lines of credit, sales of equity and debt securities and cash out refinancings to the extent they are available and fit within our overall portfolio leverage strategy. Our investments in real estate are typically financed with equity from our balance sheet, third party equity and mortgage loans secured primarily by that real estate. These mortgage loans are generally nonrecourse in that, in the event of default, recourse will be limited to the mortgaged property serving as collateral, subject to limited customary exceptions. In some cases, we guarantee a portion of the loan related to a consolidated property or an unconsolidated investment, usually until some condition, such as completion of construction or leasing or certain net operating income criteria, has been met. We do not expect these guarantees to materially affect liquidity or capital resources. Please refer to the "Off Balance Sheet Arrangements" section for further information. Historically, we have not required significant capital resources to support our brokerage and property management operations.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents plus capital generated from property management and leasing, brokerage, sales of real estate owned, collections from loans and loan pools, as well as our current revolving line of credit, will provide us with sufficient capital requirements to maintain our current portfolio for at least the next twelve months.
To the extent that we engage in additional strategic investments, including real estate, note portfolios, or acquisitions of other real estate related companies or real estate related securities, we may need to obtain third party financing which could include bank financing or the public sale or private placement of debt or equity securities.
Under our current joint venture strategy, we generally contribute property expertise and a fully funded initial cash contribution, with commitments to provide additional funding. Capital required for additional improvements and supporting operations during leasing and stabilization periods is generally obtained at the time of acquisition via debt financing or third party
41
investors. Accordingly, we generally do not have significant capital commitments with unconsolidated entities. However, there may be certain circumstances when we, usually with the other members of the joint venture entity, may be required to contribute additional capital for a period of time.
Our need to raise funds from time to time to meet our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the success and pace of the implementation of our strategy for strategic and accretive growth. We regularly monitor capital-raising alternatives to be able to take advantage of other available avenues to support our working capital and investment needs, including strategic partnerships and other alliances, bank borrowings (including cash-out refinances), and the sale of equity or debt securities. We expect to meet the repayment obligations of our senior notes and borrowing under our line of credit from cash generated by our business activities, including the sale of assets and the refinancing of debt.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company generated a book loss of $62.3 million related to operations in the United Kingdom and Ireland. A foreign tax benefit of $3.9 million is included in the consolidated tax provision for income taxes related to the portion of income earned directly by subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Ireland for the year ended December 31, 2014. U.S. domestic taxes have not been provided for in the consolidated tax provision on amounts earned directly by these subsidiaries since it is the Company's plan to indefinitely invest amounts earned by these subsidiaries in the United Kingdom and Ireland operations. If these subsidiaries' cumulative earnings were repatriated to the United States additional U.S. domestic taxes of $4.5 million would be incurred. Additionally, approximately $741.3 million of our consolidated cash and cash equivalents is held by our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Japan.
Foreign Currency and Currency Derivative Instruments
Fluctuations in foreign exchanges rates may have a significant impact on the results of our operations. In order to manage the effect of these fluctuations, we generally hedge our book equity exposure to foreign currencies through currency forward contracts and options. We typically hedge 50%-100% of book equity exposure against these foreign currencies.
As of December 31, 2014, approximately 45% of our investment account is invested through our foreign platforms in their local currencies. Investment level debt is generally incurred in local currencies and there we consider our equity investment as the appropriate exposure to evaluate for hedging purposes.
For 2014 and 2013, we recorded a gain, net of taxes, of $9.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively, in other comprehensive income as the portion of the currency forward contract used to hedge the currency exposure of certain of our wholly owned, controlled subsidiaries and unconsolidated investments that qualify as a net investment hedge under ASC Topic 815.

Net cash used in investing activities | (2,473.2 | ) | (348.8 | ) | ||
Net cash provided by financing activities | 3,163.4 | 371.4 | ||||
Operating
Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon the occupancy levels of our portfolio, the rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent and recoveries from our tenants, and the level of operating expenses and other general and administrative costs, including operating distributions from our unconsolidated investments, revenues from our services business net of operating expenses, and payment of interest expense on the Company's corporate and consolidated investment debt. Net cash provided by operating activities totaled $98.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 as compared to $31.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.
Investing
Our cash flows from investing activities are generally comprised of cash used to fund property acquisitions, investments in unconsolidated investments, capital expenditures, purchases of loans secured by real estate, as well as return of capital investments from dispositions or refinances on our investments and resolutions in our loan participations and loan pools. Net cash used in investing activities totaled $2.5 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to $2.0 billion of purchases and additions to real estate by KW Group (including $1.7 billion by KWE). In addition, KW Group invested $536.8
42
million (including $373.2 million by KWE) to fund our equity in loans. The investment in the loans were mainly for the acquisition of notes secured by the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin, Ireland (100% owned by KWH) and the acquisition of subordinated notes throughout Ireland and the United Kingdom by KWE. Additionally, $167.7 million of equity was invested in unconsolidated investments of which $29.2 million related to the of acquisition of a loan portfolio by KWE and $57.2 million related to the acquisition of a portfolio of 14 assets comprised of commercial, retail and industrial assets which was subsequently contributed into KWE as part of its initial public offering. The cash used in the aforementioned investing activities was offset by receipt of $111.8 million in distributions from our unconsolidated investments primarily due to refinancing of property level debt and the sale of underlying properties.
Net cash used in investing activities totaled $348.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. We invested $322.7 million of equity in unconsolidated investments of which $265.5 million was for new investments and $57.2 million for contributions to existing joint venture investments to pay off external debt, fund our share of a development project, and for working capital needs. Of the new investments, $216.1 million was for 56 commercial properties in Ireland and the United Kingdom, one multifamily property in Ireland, and a servicing business in Spain. The remaining $49.4 million of new investments was for four commercial properties, two multifamily properties, and three projects all in the Western United States. We invested $168.5 million in the acquisitions of consolidated real estate relating to three multifamily and four commercial properties in the Western United States as well as one commercial property in Ireland. In addition, we invested $96.6 million to fund our equity in new and existing loans.
The cash used in the aforementioned investing activities was offset by $93.9 million in distributions from our loan pools primarily due to loan resolutions and the receipt of $81.5 million in distributions from our joint ventures. The $81.5 million of distributions is comprised of refinancing of property level debt of $52.9 million, $15.6 million from the sale of underlying properties, and $10.8 million from the settlement of several Japanese yen-related hedges. In addition, we received $46.0 million due to the settlement of loans.
Financing
Our net cash related to financing activities is generally impacted by capital-raising activities net of dividends and distributions paid to common and preferred shareholders and noncontrolling interests as well as financing activities for consolidated real estate investments. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $3.2 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014. This was primarily due to proceeds, net of issuance costs, of $1.8 billion from noncontrolling interest holders for the initial public offering of KWE, net proceeds of $190.6 million received from the issuance of 9.2 million shares of common stock primarily to institutional investors, the issuance of $650.0 million of senior notes which generated $647.2 million in proceeds, and $1.3 billion of proceeds from mortgage loans to finance and refinance consolidated property acquisitions of which $921.8 million related to financing by KWE. These were offset by repayment of $345.8 million of investment debt, of which $256.9 million were related to repayments by KWE, and the extinguishment of our junior subordinated debt of $40 million and the payment of cash dividends of $38.9 million to our common and preferred shareholders.
Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $371.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This was primarily due to proceeds of $275.9 million received from the issuance of 17.3 million shares of common stock primarily to institutional investors, $112.5 million of proceeds from mortgage loans to finance consolidated property acquisitions, and $15.4 million from the exercise of 2.7 million warrants. This was offset by payments of cash dividends of $24.1 million to our common and preferred shareholders and $5.2 million for the repurchase of Company's common stock and warrants.
Since our common stock became listed on the NYSE in November 2009 through December 31, 2014, cumulative preferred and common dividends declared were $40.7 million and $72.9 million, respectively, and are included as a component of retained earnings in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and consolidated statement of equity.

The 2024 Notes will mature on April 1, 2024. In November 2014, the Company completed an additional public offering of $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.875% Senior Notes, due 2024. The Notes have substantially identical terms as the "2024 Notes" mentioned above, and are treated as a single series with the "2024 Notes" under the 2024 Indenture. The additional 2024 Notes were issued and sold at a public offering price of 100.0% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest from, and including, October 1, 2014. The amount of the 2024 Notes included in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets was $647.4 million at December 31, 2014.
In December 2012, Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. completed a public offering of $55.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.750% Senior Notes due 2042 (the "2042 Notes").

In April 2011, Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. issued $200.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8.750% Senior Notes due 2019, for approximately $198.6 million, net of discount. An additional $50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 8.750% Senior Notes due 2019 was issued in April 2011 for approximately $50.8 million, net of premium. In December 2012, Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. issued an additional $100.0 million aggregate principal amount of these 8.750% senior notes for approximately $105.3 million, net of premium and pre-issuance accrued interest. Collectively, these notes are referred to as "the 2019 Notes." In November 2014, Kennedy Wilson extinguished its 2019 Notes with an aggregate face value of $350.0 million (and an aggregate carrying value of $353.5 million) for $380.1 million with the proceeds from the November 2014 issuance of 2024 Notes, together with cash on hand, which resulted in a $25.8 million loss on early extinguishment of corporate debt.
Borrowings under Line of Credit
KWH Facility
Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. has an unsecured revolving credit facility ("KWH Facility") with U.S. Bank, East-West Bank and Bank of Ireland that bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.75% and has a maturity date of October 1, 2016. In July 2014 Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. increased its unsecured corporate line of credit facility from $140.0 million to $300.0 million. The increase was driven by the admission of Bank of America, N.A., Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. to the existing lender syndicate and an increased commitment from The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland. As of December 31, 2014, the unsecured credit facility had a balance of $125.0 million outstanding and $175.0 million was still available.
KWE Facility
In August 2014, KWE entered into a three year unsecured floating rate revolving debt facility ("KWE Facility") of approximately $350 million (£225 million) with a syndicate of banks. The facility was undrawn as of December 31, 2014. The KWE Facility requires KWE to maintain (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the revolving loan agreement not to exceed 60%; (ii) minimum net asset value not to fall below IFRS NAV (as defined in the KWE Facility agreement) of £744.4 million plus 75% of equity proceeds received by subsidiaries; (iii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio where consolidated EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges not to be less than 1.5 to 1.0 for the last four quarters; (iv) minimum unsecured interest where property level net operating income ("NOI") and loan asset NOI to interest expense on unsecured debtors not to be less than 1.9 to 1.0 for the last four quarters; and (v) a maximum secured recourse indebtedness for consolidated secured recourse debt to not exceed 2.5% of total asset value at any time. As of December 31, 2014, the unsecured credit facility was undrawn with £225 million available.
Junior Subordinated Notes
In 2007, Kennedy Wilson issued junior subordinated debentures in the amount of $40.0 million. The debentures were issued to a trust established by Kennedy Wilson, which contemporaneously issued $40.0 million of trust preferred securities to Merrill Lynch International. In September 2014, Kennedy Wilson extinguished its junior subordinated debt for $41.5 million which resulted in a $1.5 million loss on early extinguishment of corporate debt.
Debt Covenants
The unsecured credit facility with U.S. Bank, East West Bank, Bank of Ireland, Bank of America, N.A., Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., and the indentures governing the 2024 Notes and 2042 Notes contain numerous restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit Kennedy Wilson's and certain of its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions to stockholders, repurchase capital stock or debt, make investments, sell assets or subsidiary stock, create or permit liens on assets, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into sale/leaseback transactions, issue subsidiary equity and enter into consolidations or mergers. The unsecured credit facility requires Kennedy Wilson to maintain a minimum tangible net worth and a specified amount of cash and cash equivalents.
The revolving loan agreement that governs the unsecured credit facility requires Kennedy Wilson to maintain (i) a minimum rent adjusted fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the revolving loan agreement) of not less than 1.50 to 1.00, measured on a four-quarter rolling average basis; (ii) maximum balance sheet leverage (as defined in the revolving loan agreement) of not greater than 1.50 to 1.00, measured at the end of each calendar quarter; (iii) an effective tangible net worth (as defined in the revolving loan agreement) equal to or greater than $500.0 million, measured at the end of each calendar quarter; and (iv) unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and publicly traded marketable securities in the aggregate amount of at least $40.0 million.
As of December 31, 2014, Kennedy Wilson's rent adjusted fixed charge coverage ratio was 2.99 to 1.00, its balance sheet leverage ratio was 0.98 to 1.00, and its effective tangible net worth and its unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and publicly traded
45
marketable securities were $944.2 million and $841.1 million, respectively, and Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. was in compliance with these covenants.
The indentures governing the 2024 Notes and 2042 Notes limit Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.'s ability to incur additional indebtedness if, on the date of such incurrence and after giving effect to the new indebtedness, Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.'s maximum balance sheet leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture) is greater than 1.50 to 1.00. This ratio is measured at the time of incurrence of additional indebtedness. As of December 31, 2014, the balance sheet leverage ratio was 0.92 to 1.00.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Guarantees
We have provided guarantees associated with loans secured by assets held in various unconsolidated investments. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) we could be required to make under the guarantees was approximately $54.9 million at December 31, 2014. The guarantees expire by the year end of 2021 and our performance under the guarantees would be required to the extent there is a shortfall in liquidation between the principal amount of the loan and the net sales proceeds of the property. If we were to become obligated to perform on these guarantees, it could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
As of December 31, 2014, we have unfulfilled capital commitments totaling $33.1 million to our unconsolidated investments. As we identify investment opportunities in the future, we may be called upon to contribute additional capital to unconsolidated investments in satisfaction of our capital commitment obligations.
Non-Recourse Carve Out Guarantees
Most of our real estate properties within our equity partnerships are encumbered by traditional non-recourse debt obligations. In connection with most of these loans, however, we entered into certain “non-recourse carve out” guarantees, which provide for the loans to become partially or fully recourse against us if certain triggering events occur. Although these events are different for each guarantee, some of the common events include:
• | the special purpose property-owning subsidiary’s filing a voluntary petition for bankruptcy; |
• | the special purpose property-owning subsidiary’s failure to maintain its status as a special purpose entity; and |
• | subject to certain conditions, the special purpose property-owning subsidiary’s failure to obtain lender’s written consent prior to any subordinate financing or other voluntary lien encumbering the associated property. |
In the event that any of these triggering events occur and the loans become partially or fully recourse against us, our business, financial condition, results of operations and common stock price could be materially adversely affected.
In addition, other items that are customarily recourse to a non-recourse carve out guarantor include, but are not limited to, the payment of real property taxes, liens which are senior to the mortgage loan and outstanding security deposits.
Impact of Inflation and Changing Prices
Inflation has not had a significant impact on the results of operations of our company in recent years.
Our exposure to market risk from changing prices consists primarily of fluctuations in rental rates of commercial and residential properties, market interest rates on residential mortgages and debt obligations and real estate property values. The revenues associated with the commercial services businesses are impacted by fluctuations in interest rates, lease rates, real property values and the availability of space and competition in the market place. Commercial service revenues are derived from a broad range of services that are primarily transaction driven and are therefore volatile in nature and highly competitive. The revenues of the property management operations with respect to rental properties are highly dependent upon the aggregate rents of the properties managed, which are affected by rental rates and building occupancy rates. Rental rate increases are dependent upon market conditions and the competitive environments in the respective locations of the properties. Employee compensation is the principal cost element of property management. To the extent that we engage in development activities, we may have exposure to changing prices in materials or cost of labor.
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures about Market Risk
The primary market risk exposure of our Company relates to changes in interest rates in connection with our short-term borrowings, some of which bear interest at variable rates based on the lender’s base rate, prime rate, EURIBOR, GBP LIBOR, or LIBOR plus an applicable borrowing margin. These borrowings do not give rise to a significant interest rate risk because they have short maturities. However, the amount of income or loss we recognize for unconsolidated joint ventures may be impacted
46
by changes in interest rates. Historically, the impact from the changes in rates has not been significant. Our exposure to market risk also consists of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations related to our international operations, which has grown due to the Company's growth of international investments. The Company routinely monitors our exposure to currency exchange rate changes in connection with our international investments and enter into foreign currency exchange swap, option and forward contracts to limit our exposure to such transactions, as appropriate.
Interest Rate Risk
We have established an interest rate management policy, which attempts to minimize our overall cost of debt while taking into consideration the earnings implications associated with the volatility of short-term interest rates. As part of this policy, we have elected to maintain a combination of variable and fixed rate debt. As of December 31, 2014, 43% of our consolidated property level debt is fixed rate, 38% is floating rate with interest caps and 19% is floating rate without interest caps.
The table below represents contractual balances of our financial instruments at the expected maturity dates as well as the fair value as of December 31, 2014. The expected maturity categories take into consideration actual amortization of principal and do not take into consideration reinvestment of cash. The weighted average interest rate for the various assets and liabilities presented are actual as of December 31, 2014. We closely monitor the fluctuation in interest rates, and if rates were to increase significantly, we believe that we would be able to either hedge the change in the interest rate or refinance the loans with fixed interest rate debt. All instruments included in this analysis are non-trading.

Critical Accounting Policies
BASIS OF PRESENTATION — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ourselves and voting interest entities which we control. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, we evaluate our relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities ("VIE") as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 810 – Consolidation and to assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of such entities. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE, qualitative and quantitative factors are considered, including, but not limited to: the amount and characteristics of our investments; the obligation or likelihood for us to provide financial support; and our ability to control or significantly influence key decisions for the VIE. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the current future fair values and performance of real estate held by these VIEs and general market conditions. As of December 31, 2014, Kennedy Wilson has one VIE that that is treated as an unconsolidated investments as discussed in the policy below.
Our investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, but do not control, or entities which are VIEs in which we are not the primary beneficiary are accounted for under the equity method. Accordingly, our share of the earnings from these equity-method basis companies are included in
47
our consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2014, we had investments in one unconsolidated subsidiaries which is a VIE in which we are not the primary beneficiary and therefore account for them under the equity method.
REVENUE RECOGNITION — Revenue consists of management and leasing fees (including performance fees), commissions, rental and hotel income, sales of real estate and loan income.
Management fees are primarily comprised of investment management, property services, and research fees. Investment management fees are earned from KWE and from limited partners of funds, co-investments, or separate accounts and are generally based on a fixed percentage of committed capital or net asset value. Property services fees are earned for managing the operations of real estate assets and are generally based on a fixed percentage of the revenues generated from the respective real estate assets. Research fees are earned from consulting arrangements. These fees are recognized as revenue ratably over the period that the respective services are performed.
Performance fees or carried interest are allocated to the general partner, special limited partner or asset manager of Kennedy Wilson's real estate funds and loan pool participations based on the cumulative performance of the fund and loan pools and are subject to preferred return thresholds of the limited partners and participants. At the end of each reporting period, Kennedy Wilson calculates the performance fee that would be due as if the fair value of the underlying investments were realized as of such date, irrespective of whether such amounts have been realized. As the fair value of underlying investments varies between reporting periods, it is necessary to make adjustments to amounts recorded as performance fees to reflect either (a) positive performance resulting in an increase in the performance fee allocated to the general partner or asset manager or (b) negative performance that would cause the amount due to Kennedy Wilson to be less than the amount previously recognized as revenue, resulting in a negative adjustment to performance fees allocated to the general partner or asset manager. Substantially all of the performance fees are recognized in investment management fees and substantially all of the carried interest is recognized in income from unconsolidated investments in our consolidated statements of operations. Total performances fees recognized to date through December 31, 2014 that may be reversed in future periods if there is negative fund performance totaled $15.8 million. Performance fees recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $8.5 million, $17.5 million and $8.6 million and are included in accounts receivable—related parties in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
KWE is externally managed by one of our wholly-owned subsidiaries (“KWE Manager”) pursuant to an investment management agreement in which Kennedy Wilson will be entitled to receive certain management and performance fees. KWE Manager is paid an annual management fee (payable quarterly in arrears) equal to 1% of KWE’s adjusted net asset value (EPRA NAV). The management fee payable to KWE Manager is paid half in cash and half in shares of KWE. KW Manager earned $14.0 million in management fees which is eliminated in consolidation due to our consolidation of KWE.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of Kennedy Wilson is also entitled to receive an annual performance fee equal to 20% of the lesser of (i) the excess of the shareholder return for the relevant year (defined as the change in KWE’s adjusted net asset value per ordinary share) over a 10% annual return hurdle, and (ii) the excess of year-end adjusted net asset value per ordinary share over a “high water mark.” The performance fee is payable in shares of KWE that vest equally over a three-year period. No such fee has been earned by Kennedy Wilson as of December 31, 2014. If earned, these fees would also be eliminated in consolidation.
Commissions primarily consist of acquisition fees, auction and real estate sales commissions, leasing commissions, and consulting fees. Acquisition fees are earned for identifying and closing investments on behalf of investors and are based on a fixed percentage of the acquisition price. Acquisition fees are recognized upon the successful completion of an acquisition after all required services have been performed. In the case of auction and real estate sales commissions, the revenue is generally recognized when escrow closes. In accordance with the guidelines established for Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent in the ASC Subtopic 605-45, KW Group records commission revenues and expenses on a gross basis. Of the criteria listed in the Subtopic 605-45, Kennedy Wilson is the primary obligor in the transaction, does not have inventory risk, performs all or part of the service, has credit risk, and has wide latitude in establishing the price of services rendered and discretion in selection of agents and determination of service specifications. Leasing fees that are payable upon tenant occupancy, payment of rent or other events beyond Kennedy Wilson's control are recognized upon the occurrence of such events.
Rental income from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Hotel income is earned when rooms are occupied or goods and services have been delivered or rendered.
Sales of real estate are recognized when title to the real property passes to the buyer and there is no continuing involvement in the real property. KW Group follows the requirements for profit recognition as set forth by the Sale of Real Estate ASC Subtopic 360-20.
Interest income from investments in loans acquired at a discount are recognized using the effective interest method. Interest income from investments in loans which KW Group originates are recognized at the stated interest rate. When a loan or loans are acquired with deteriorated credit quality primarily for the rewards of collateral ownership, such loans are accounted for
48
as loans until KW Group is in possession of the collateral. However, accrual of income is not recorded during the conversion period under ASC Subtopic 310-30-25. Income is recognized to the extent that cash is received from the loan.
REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS — When acquiring a property, the purchase price of acquired properties is recorded to land, buildings and building improvements and intangible lease value (value of above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place lease values, and tenant relationships, if any) based on their respective estimated fair values in accordance with Business Combinations ASC Subtopics 805-10. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.
The valuations of real estate are based on management estimates of the real estate assets using income and market approaches. The indebtedness securing the real estate are valued, in part, based on third party valuations and management estimates also using an income approach.
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS — Noncontrolling interests are reported within equity as a separate component of Kennedy Wilson's equity in accordance with Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements ASC Subtopic 810-10. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, net income or loss, and other comprehensive income are reported in the consolidated statements of operations at the consolidated amounts and net income and comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests are separately stated. Due to the launch and consolidation of KWE and the Company's 14.9% ownership there has been a large increase in noncontrolling interest during 2014. Management fees earned by KWE Manger for managing KWE are eliminated in consolidation however the amount attributable to the noncontrolling interest holders of KWE are recognized through net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest holders.
FOREIGN CURRENCIES — The financial statements of subsidiaries located outside the United States are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date, and income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rate. The foreign currencies include the Euro, the British pound sterling, and the Japanese yen. Cumulative translation adjustments, to the extent not included in cumulative net income, are included in the consolidated statements of equity and comprehensive income as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company hedges its investments in foreign subsidiaries with forward and option contracts as discussed below.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING — KW Group holds derivatives to reduce our exposure to foreign currencies. We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Derivatives that are not hedges must be adjusted to fair value and the changes in fair value must be reflected as income or expense. If the derivative qualifies for hedge accounting, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income, which is a component of the stockholders’ equity accounts. The ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is immediately recognized in earnings.
UNCONSOLIDATED INVESTMENTS — KW Group has a number of joint venture interests that were formed to acquire, manage, and/or sell real estate and invest in loan pools and discounted loan portfolios. Investments in unconsolidated investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as KW Group can exercise significant influence, but does not have the ability to control the unconsolidated investment. An investment in an unconsolidated investment is recorded at its initial investment and is increased or decreased by KW Group’s share of income or loss, plus additional contributions and less distributions. A decline in the value of an unconsolidated investment that is other than temporary is recognized when evidence indicates that such a decline has occurred in accordance with Equity Method Investments ASC Subtopic 323-10. As of December 31, 2014, the Company also had an investment in a joint venture which is a VIE in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary and therefore accounts for it under the equity method as well.
Profits on the sale of real estate held by unconsolidated investments in which KW Group has continuing involvement are deferred until such time that the continuing involvement has been concluded and all the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer. Profit on sales to unconsolidated investment in which KW Group retains an equity ownership interest results in partial sales treatment in accordance with Sale of Real Estate ASC Subtopic 360-20, thus deferring a portion of the gain as a result of KW Group’s continuing ownership percentage in the unconsolidated investment.
The Company has three investments in joint ventures, KW Property Fund III, L.P. ("KW Fund III"), Kennedy Wilson Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. ("Fund IV") and Kennedy Wilson Real Estate Fund V, L.P. ("Fund V") (collectively the "Funds") that are investment companies under the Investment Companies ASC Subtopic 946-10. Thus, the Funds reflect their investments at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in their earnings. Kennedy Wilson has retained the specialized accounting for the Funds pursuant to Retention of Specialized Accounting for Investments in Consolidation ASC Subtopic 810-10 in recording its equity in joint venture income from the Funds.
49
Additionally, Kennedy Wilson elected the fair value option for three investments in unconsolidated investment entities. Kennedy Wilson elected to record these investments at fair value to more accurately reflect the timing of the value created in the underlying investments and report those results in current operations.
Interest income from investments in loan pool participations are recognized on a level yield basis under the provisions of Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality ASC Subtopic 310-30, where a level yield model is utilized to determine a yield rate which, based upon projected future cash flows, accretes interest income over the estimated holding period. In the event that the present value of those future cash flows is less than net book value, a loss would be immediately recorded. When the future cash flows of a note cannot be reasonably estimated, cash payments are applied to the cost basis of the note until it is fully recovered before any interest income is recognized.
INCOME TAXES—Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In accordance with Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ASC Subtopic 740-10, Kennedy Wilson recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
Kennedy Wilson records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in general and administrative expenses.
SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS—Kennedy Wilson accounts for its share-based payment arrangements under the provisions of Share-Based Payments ASC Subtopic 718-10. Compensation cost for employee service received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is based on the grant-date fair value of the share-based award that is ultimately settled in equity of Kennedy Wilson. The cost of employee services is recognized over the period during which an employee provides service in exchange for the share-based payment award. Share-based payment arrangements with only services conditions that vest ratably over the requisite service period are recognized on the straight-line basis and performance awards that vest ratably are recognized on a tranche-by-tranche basis over the performance period. Unrecognized compensation costs for share-based payment arrangements that have been modified are recognized over the original service or performance period.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
On April 10, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, which amends the definition of discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures for disposal transactions that do not meet the revised discontinued operations criteria. ASU 2014-08 is required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. Our early adoption of this pronouncement on January 1, 2014 did not have a material impact on KW Group's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that will use a five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts in an effort to increase consistency and comparability throughout global capital markets and across industries. The model will identify the contract, identify any separate performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price and recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. The new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition in GAAP when it becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2014. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited financial statement schedules III to IV. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three‑year period ended December 31, 2014, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method for reporting discontinued operations in 2014 due to the adoption of FASB Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013), and our report dated March 2, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.:
We have audited Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014 as well as the financial statement schedules III and IV, and our report dated March 2, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements and schedules.

On February 28, 2014, the Kennedy Wilson contributed its 50% interest in an unconsolidated investment which held 14 commercial, retail, and industrial properties portfolio to KWE as part of Kennedy Wilson's subscription in KWE's initial public offering.
On March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014, Kennedy Wilson amended the existing operating agreements governing certain of its investments with certain of its equity partners thereby allowing Kennedy Wilson to gain control of these operating properties. As a result of obtaining control, the assets and liabilities of these properties were consolidated in KW Group's financial statements at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations as described in note 4.
During 2014, Kennedy Wilson foreclosed on a 133,000 square foot retail center and an adjacent 2.4 acre vacant lot in Van Nuys, CA and on the notes secured by the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin, Ireland. Additionally, Kennedy Wilson increased its ownership in a previously unconsolidated investment in a 750-unit Western US multifamily property from 42% to 87% and amended the existing operating agreement to gain control of the property. As a result of such foreclosures, the assets and liabilities of these properties were consolidated in KW Group's financial statements at fair value under ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations, as described in note 4.
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company acquired the interest of some of its existing partners in a 615-unit apartment building in Northern California, increasing its ownership from 15% to 94% and obtaining control of the property. In addition, the Company consolidated three retail centers in the Western U.S. (third quarter of 2013) and the Ritz Carlton, Lake Tahoe (fourth quarter of 2013) which the Company had previously accounted for using the equity method. The Company and its equity partners amended the existing operating agreements governing these investments which allowed the Company to gain control of these operating properties. As a result of obtaining control, the Company was required to consolidate the assets and liabilities of these properties at fair value in accordance with Business Combinations guidance as described in note 4.
During 2013, the Company sold a 50% interest in an entity that held a note receivable secured by a shopping center and 107 residential units in the United Kingdom to an institutional investor. As a result of the sale and loss of control, $96.0 million in notes receivable and $78.7 million in mortgage loans were deconsolidated as described in note 3.
In November 2012, due to a change of control, Kennedy Wilson began to consolidate KW Property Fund II, LP, a limited partnership that had been previously accounted for using the equity method. As a result of obtaining control of this entity, Kennedy Wilson applied Business Combinations guidance and assumed assets and liabilities as described in note 4.

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
NOTE 1—ORGANIZATION
Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (“KWH”), a Delaware corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the "Company" or "Kennedy Wilson") and its consolidated subsidiaries (including KWE as defined below), collectively "KW Group", acquires, renovates and holds for attractive yields or resells commercial and residential real estate, and invests in loan pools and discounted loan portfolios.
KW Group also provides various commercial and residential real estate services including investment management, property management, asset management, brokerage, research and marketing in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain, Jersey and Japan primarily to public shareholders, financial institutions, institutional investors, insurance companies, developers, builders and government agencies.
NOTE 2—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BASIS OF PRESENTATION — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of KW Group and voting interest entities which it controls. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In addition, Kennedy Wilson evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities ("VIE") as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 810 – Consolidation and to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. In determining whether Kennedy Wilson is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, qualitative and quantitative factors are considered, including, but not limited to: the amount and characteristics of Kennedy Wilson's investment; the obligation or likelihood for Kennedy Wilson to provide financial support; Kennedy Wilson's ability to control or significantly influence key decisions for the VIE; and the similarity with and significance to the business activities of Kennedy Wilson. Significant judgments related to these determinations include estimates about the future fair values and performance of real estate held by these VIEs and general market conditions. As of December 31, 2014, Kennedy Wilson has one VIE that is treated as an unconsolidated investment.
Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate Plc (“KWE,” LSE: KWE), a Jersey investment company formed to invest in real estate and real estate-related assets in Europe, closed its initial public offering ("IPO") on the London Stock Exchange during the quarter ended March 31, 2014, raising approximately $1.7 billion in gross proceeds. KWE is externally managed by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kennedy Wilson incorporated in Jersey pursuant to an investment management agreement. Due to the terms provided in the investment management agreement and Kennedy Wilson's equity ownership interest in KWE, pursuant to the guidance set forth in Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 810 - Consolidation (“Subtopic 810”), the Company is required to consolidate KWE’s results in its consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the Company invested $145.2 million of cash and contributed $58.3 million of assets acquired by the Company as part of the IPO. KWE completed a follow-on offering during the fourth quarter where the Company participated based on its ownership percentage acquiring an additional 4.6 million shares for $75.0 million. Outside of the IPO and follow-on offering, the Company has acquired an additional 3.1 million ordinary shares for $51.1 million and owned approximately 14.9% of KWE’s total issued share capital as of December 31, 2014.
USE OF ESTIMATES — The preparation of the accompanying consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosure about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could differ significantly from these estimates. Changes in those estimates will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods.
REVENUE RECOGNITION — Revenue consists of management and leasing fees (including performance fees), commissions, rental and hotel income, sales of real estate and loan income.
Management fees are primarily comprised of investment management, property services, and research fees. Investment management fees are earned from limited partners of funds, co-investments, or separate accounts and are generally based on a fixed percentage of committed capital or net asset value. Property services fees are earned for managing the operations of real estate assets and are generally based on a fixed percentage of the revenues generated from the respective real estate assets. Research fees are earned from consulting arrangements. These fees are recognized as revenue ratably over the period that the respective services are performed.

Performance fees or carried interest are allocated to the general partner, special limited partner or asset manager of Kennedy Wilson's real estate funds and loan pool participations based on the cumulative performance of the fund and loan pools and are subject to preferred return thresholds of the limited partners and participants. At the end of each reporting period, Kennedy Wilson calculates the performance fee that would be due as if the fair value of the underlying investments were realized as of such date, irrespective of whether such amounts have been realized. As the fair value of underlying investments varies between reporting periods, it is necessary to make adjustments to amounts recorded as performance fees to reflect either (a) positive performance resulting in an increase in the performance fee allocated to the general partner or asset manager or (b) negative performance that would cause the amount due to Kennedy Wilson to be less than the amount previously recognized as revenue, resulting in a negative adjustment to performance fees allocated to the general partner or asset manager. Substantially all of the performance fees are recognized in investment management fees and substantially all of the carried interest is recognized in income from unconsolidated investments in our consolidated statements of operations. Total performances fees recognized to date through December 31, 2014 that may be reversed in future periods if there is negative fund performance totaled $15.8 million. Performance fees recognized during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 were $8.5 million, $17.5 million and $8.6 million and the amounts that have not been received are included in accounts receivable—related parties in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet.
KWE is externally managed by one of the Company's wholly-owned subsidiaries (“KWE Manager”) pursuant to an investment management agreement in which capacity Kennedy Wilson will be entitled to receive certain management and performance fees. KWE Manager is paid an annual management fee (payable quarterly in arrears) equal to 1% of KWE’s adjusted net asset value (EPRA NAV). The management fee payable to KWE Manager is paid half in cash and half in shares of KWE. KW Manager earned $14.0 million in management fees which is eliminated in consolidation due to the Company's consolidation of KWE.
A wholly-owned subsidiary of Kennedy Wilson is also entitled to receive an annual performance fee equal to 20% of the lesser of the excess of the shareholder return for the relevant year (defined as the change in KWE’s adjusted net asset value per ordinary share) over a 10% annual return hurdle, and the excess of year-end adjusted net asset value per ordinary share over a “high water mark”. The performance fee is payable in shares of KWE that vest equally over a three-year period. No such fee has been earned by Kennedy Wilson as of December 31, 2014. If earned, these fees would also be eliminated in consolidation.
Commissions primarily consist of acquisition fees, auction and real estate sales commissions, leasing commissions, and consulting fees. Acquisition fees are earned for identifying and closing investments on behalf of investors and are based on a fixed percentage of the acquisition price. Acquisition fees are recognized upon the successful completion of an acquisition after all required services have been performed. In the case of auction and real estate sales commissions, the revenue is generally recognized when escrow closes. In accordance with the guidelines established for Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent in the ASC Subtopic 605-45, KW Group records commission revenues and expenses on a gross basis. Of the criteria listed in the Subtopic 605-45, Kennedy Wilson is the primary obligor in the transaction, does not have inventory risk, performs all or part of the service, has credit risk, and has wide latitude in establishing the price of services rendered and discretion in selection of agents and determination of service specifications. Leasing fees that are payable upon tenant occupancy, payment of rent or other events beyond Kennedy Wilson's control are recognized upon the occurrence of such events.
Rental income from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases. Hotel income is earned when rooms are occupied or goods and services have been delivered or rendered.
Sales of real estate are recognized when title to the real property passes to the buyer and there is no continuing involvement in the real property. KW Group follows the requirements for profit recognition as set forth by the Sale of Real Estate ASC Subtopic 360-20.
Interest income from investments in loans acquired at a discount are recognized using the effective interest method. Interest income from investments in loans which KW Group originates are recognized at the stated interest rate. When a loan or loans are acquired with deteriorated credit quality primarily for the rewards of collateral ownership, such loans are accounted for as loans until KW Group is in possession of the collateral. However, accrual of income is not recorded during the conversion period under ASC Subtopic 310-30-25. Income is recognized to the extent that cash is received from the loan.
REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS — The purchase price of acquired properties is recorded to land, buildings and building improvements and intangible lease value (value of above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place lease values, and tenant relationships, if any) based on their respective estimated fair values in accordance with Business Combinations ASC Subtopics 805-10. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred.

The valuations of real estate are based on management estimates of the real estate assets using income and market approaches. The indebtedness securing the real estate are valued, in part, based on third party valuations and management estimates also using an income approach.
NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS — Noncontrolling interests are reported within equity as a separate component of Kennedy Wilson's equity in accordance with Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements ASC Subtopic 810-10. Revenues, expenses, gains, losses, net income or loss, and other comprehensive income are reported in the consolidated statements of operations at the consolidated amounts and net income and comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interests are separately stated. Due to the launch and consolidation of KWE and the Company's 14.9% ownership there has been a large increase in noncontrolling interest during 2014. Management fees earned by KWE Manger for managing KWE are eliminated in consolidation however the amount attributable to the noncontrolling interest holders of KWE are recognized through net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interest holders.
UNCONSOLIDATED INVESTMENTS — KW Group has a number of joint venture interests that were formed to acquire, manage, and/or sell real estate and invest in loan pools and discounted loan portfolios. Investments in unconsolidated investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting as KW Group can exercise significant influence, but does not have the ability to control the unconsolidated investment. An investment in an unconsolidated investment is recorded at its initial investment and is increased or decreased by KW Group’s share of income or loss, plus additional contributions and less distributions. A decline in the value of an unconsolidated investment that is other than temporary is recognized when evidence indicates that such a decline has occurred in accordance with Equity Method Investments ASC Subtopic 323-10. As of December 31, 2014, the Company also had an investment in one joint venture which is a VIE in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary and therefore accounts for it under the equity method as well.
Profits on the sale of real estate held by unconsolidated investments in which KW Group has continuing involvement are deferred until such time that the continuing involvement has been concluded and all the risks and rewards of ownership have passed to the buyer. Profit on sales to unconsolidated investment in which KW Group retains an equity ownership interest results in partial sales treatment in accordance with Sale of Real Estate ASC Subtopic 360-20, thus deferring a portion of the gain as a result of KW Group’s continuing ownership percentage in the unconsolidated investment.
The Company has three investments in joint ventures, KW Property Fund III, L.P. ("KW Fund III"), Kennedy Wilson Real Estate Fund IV, L.P. ("Fund IV") and Kennedy Wilson Real Estate Fund V, L.P. ("Fund V") (collectively the "Funds") that are investment companies under the Investment Companies ASC Subtopic 946-10. Thus, the Funds reflect their investments at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in their earnings. Kennedy Wilson has retained the specialized accounting for the Funds pursuant to Retention of Specialized Accounting for Investments in Consolidation ASC Subtopic 810-10 in recording its equity in joint venture income from the Funds.
Additionally, Kennedy Wilson elected the fair value option for three investments in unconsolidated investment entities. Due to the nature of these investments, Kennedy Wilson elected to record these investments at fair value in order to report the value created in the underlying investments in the results of our current operations.
Interest income from investments in loan pool participations are recognized on a level yield basis under the provisions of Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality ASC Subtopic 310-30, where a level yield model is utilized to determine a yield rate which, based upon projected future cash flows, accretes interest income over the estimated holding period. In the event that the present value of those future cash flows is less than net book value, a loss would be immediately recorded. When the future cash flows of a note cannot be reasonably estimated, cash payments are applied to the cost basis of the note until it is fully recovered before any interest income is recognized.
DISTRIBUTIONS FROM UNCONSOLIDATED INVESTMENTS — During the quarter ended March 31, 2013, the Company changed its method of accounting for determining the allocation of cash flows received from unconsolidated investments on its consolidated statement of cash flows from the "cumulative earnings" method to the "look-through" method, both of which are acceptable methods under GAAP. Under the "look-through" approach, distributions are reported under operating cash flow unless the facts and circumstances of a specific distribution clearly indicate that it is a return of capital (e.g., a liquidating dividend or distribution of the proceeds from unconsolidated investments' sale of assets), in which case it is reported as an investing activity. The newly adopted method is preferable because it enables KW Group to look to the nature and source of the distribution received and classify it appropriately between operating and investing activities on the statement of cash flows based upon the source, which allows the Company to present financial statements more consistent with accounting principles of consolidation. The effects of the change upon the year ended December 31, 2012 is shown in the table below.

FOREIGN CURRENCIES — The financial statements of subsidiaries located outside the United States are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date, and income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rate. The foreign currencies include the Euro, the British pound sterling, and the Japanese yen. Cumulative translation adjustments, to the extent not included in cumulative net income, are included in the consolidated statements of equity and comprehensive income as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. The Company hedges a portion of its investments in foreign subsidiaries with forward and option contracts as discussed below.
At December 31, 2014, approximately 45% of our investment account is invested through our foreign platforms in their local currencies. Investment level debt is generally incurred in local currencies. Fluctuations in foreign exchanges rates may have a significant impact on the results of our operations. In order to manage the effect of these fluctuations, we generally hedge our book equity exposure to foreign currencies through currency forward contracts and options. We typically hedge 50%-100% of the book equity exposure to these foreign currencies.
DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES — KW Group has derivatives to reduce its exposure to foreign currencies. All derivative instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet at their respective fair values. For derivatives designated in hedging relationships, changes in fair value of cash flow hedges or net investment hedges are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income, to the extent the derivative is effective at offsetting the changes in the item being hedged until the hedged item affects earnings. Changes in fair value for fair value hedges are recognized in earnings.
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS — KW Group accounts for fair value measurements of financial assets and financial liabilities and for fair value measurements of nonfinancial items that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis under the provisions of Fair Value Measurements ASC Subtopic 820-10. Subtopic 820-10 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When estimating fair value in the absence of an orderly transaction between market participants, valuations of real estate are based on management estimates of the real estate assets using income and market approaches. The indebtedness securing the real estate and the investments in debt securities are valued, in part, based on third party valuations and management estimates also using an income approach.
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS — The estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment, however, is necessary to interpret market data and develop the related estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material impact on the estimated fair value amounts.
GOODWILL — Goodwill results from the difference between the purchase price and the fair value of net assets acquired based upon the purchase method of accounting for business combinations. In accordance with Accounting for Goodwill ASC Subtopic 350-20, goodwill is reviewed for impairment on an annual basis. The Company performs its annual review of impairment at year end and when a triggering event occurs between annual year end reviews. As a result of the evaluation performed as
62
Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(continued)
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
described above, Kennedy Wilson has determined that there was no impairment of goodwill as of December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS — Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and all highly liquid investments purchased with maturities of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents are invested in institutions insured by government agencies. Certain accounts contain balances in excess of the insured limits. KW Group's operations and financial position are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates between the Japanese yen, euro, and British pound sterling against the U.S. Dollar.
LONG-LIVED ASSETS — KW Group reviews its long-lived assets (excluding goodwill) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with Impairment of Long-Lived Assets ASC Subtopic 360-10. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated undiscounted future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized in the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. Assets to be disposed of are presented separately in the balance sheet and reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell, and are no longer depreciated. The assets and liabilities of the assets to be disposed of are classified as held for sale and would be presented separately in the appropriate asset and liability sections of the balance sheet.
ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE — Accounts receivable are recorded at the contractual amount as determined by the underlying agreements and do not bear interest. An allowance for doubtful accounts is provided when KW Group determines there are probable credit losses in KW Group’s existing accounts receivable and is determined based on historical experience. KW Group reviews its accounts receivable for probable credit losses on a quarterly basis. As of December 31, 2014, KW Group had an immaterial allowance for doubtful accounts and during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 had recorded no provision for doubtful accounts.
CONCENTRATION OF CREDIT RISK — Financial instruments that subject KW Group to credit risk consist primarily of accounts and notes receivable, cash equivalents and derivative instruments. Credit risk is generally diversified due to the large number of entities composing KW Group’s customer base and their geographic dispersion throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Spain and Japan. Kennedy Wilson performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and debtors.
EARNINGS PER SHARE — Basic earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the periods presented. Diluted earnings per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of shares of common stock and potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the periods presented. The dilutive impact of potentially dilutive securities including warrants, convertible securities, and unvested stock which were outstanding during the period is calculated by the “treasury stock” method.
COMPREHENSIVE (LOSS) INCOME — Comprehensive (loss) income consists of net income (loss) and other comprehensive income (loss). In the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, accumulated other comprehensive income consists of foreign currency translation adjustments and unrealized gains (losses) on available for sale securities and derivative instruments.
REPURCHASE OF EQUITY INSTRUMENTS — Upon the decision to retire repurchased equity instruments, Kennedy Wilson records the retirement as a reduction to additional paid in capital.
SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS — Kennedy Wilson accounts for its share-based payment arrangements under the provisions of Share-Based Payments ASC Subtopic 718-10. Compensation cost for employee service received in exchange for an award of equity instruments is based on the grant-date fair value of the share-based award that is ultimately settled in equity of Kennedy Wilson. The cost of employee services is recognized over the period during which an employee provides service in exchange for the share-based payment award. Share-based payment arrangements with only services conditions that vest ratably over the requisite service period are recognized on the straight-line basis and performance awards that vest ratably are recognized on a tranche by tranche basis over the performance period. Unrecognized compensation costs for share-based payment arrangements that have been modified are recognized over the original service or performance period.
INCOME TAXES — Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax

December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. In accordance with Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes ASC Subtopic 740-10, Kennedy Wilson recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not of being sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs.
Kennedy Wilson records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense and penalties in general and administrative expenses.
RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS — On April 10, 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, which amends the definition of discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures for disposal transactions that do not meet the revised discontinued operations criteria. ASU 2014-08 is required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. Our early adoption of this pronouncement on January 1, 2014 did not have a material impact on KW Group's consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that will use a five step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts in an effort to increase consistency and comparability throughout global capital markets and across industries. The model will identify the contract, identify any separate performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price and recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. The new standard will replace most existing revenue recognition in GAAP when it becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Management has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.
RECLASSIFICATIONS — Certain balances included in prior years' financial statements have been reclassified to conform with the current year's presentation.

NOTE 4—REAL ESTATE AND ACQUIRED IN PLACE LEASE VALUES
The following table summarizes the Company's investment in consolidated real estate properties at December 31, 2014 and 2013:
December 31, | ||||||||
(Dollars in millions) | 2014 | 2013 | ||||||
Land | $ | 1,046.9 | $ | 187.8 | ||||
Buildings | 2,945.1 | 484.1 | ||||||

Real estate and acquired in place lease values, net of depreciation and amortization | $ | 4,228.1 | $ | 688.1 | ||||
Real property, including land, buildings, and building improvements, are included in real estate and are generally stated at cost. Buildings and building improvements are depreciated on the straight-line method over their estimated lives not to exceed 40 years. Acquired in-place lease values are recorded at their estimated fair value and depreciated over their respective weighted-average lease term which was 7.8 years at December 31, 2014.
Depreciation and amortization expense on buildings, building improvements and acquired in place lease values for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was $100.1 million, $13.4 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
Consolidated Acquisitions
The purchase of property is recorded to land, buildings, building improvements, and intangible lease value (including the value of above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place lease values, and tenant relationships, if any) based on their respective estimated fair values. The purchase price generally approximates the fair value of the properties as acquisitions are generally transacted with third-party willing sellers.
During the year ended December 31, 2014, KW Group acquired the following properties:

Consolidation of previously unconsolidated investments
During the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company amended the existing operating agreements governing certain of its investments with its equity partners thereby allowing the Company to gain control of these operating properties. As a result of gaining control, the assets and liabilities of these properties were consolidated in KW Group's financial statements at fair value in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 805 Business Combinations. As the fair value of the property was in excess of the carrying value of its ownership interest, an acquisition-related gain was recorded in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. See Note 6 - Fair Value Measurements for further detail of the methodology used to determine the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired in these transactions.
On March 31, 2014, Kennedy Wilson and one of its equity partners amended and restated existing operating agreements governing six separate joint ventures that hold real estate-related investments located in the U.K. and Ireland. Kennedy Wilson has an approximate 50% ownership interest in these investments.
On June 30, 2014, Kennedy Wilson and one of its equity partners amended and restated the existing operating agreement of KW Residential ("KWR") which governs 50 multifamily properties in and around Tokyo, Japan comprising approximately 2,400 units. Kennedy Wilson has an approximate 41% ownership interest in these investments.
In December 2014, Kennedy Wilson increased its ownership in a previously unconsolidated investment in a 750-unit Western U.S. multifamily property from 42% to 87% and amended the existing operating agreement to gain control of the property
These joint ventures were previously accounted for on an equity method basis due to substantive participation of the equity partners in the operational control over the real estate assets. The operating agreements of the investments were amended and restated to give Kennedy Wilson full operational control over the real estate assets while the equity partners retained only certain protective rights. Given that Kennedy Wilson now controls the joint ventures and the ultimate real estate assets held by the joint ventures under the amended and restated operating agreements, a change to the accounting treatment of these joint ventures from the equity method to consolidated treatment pursuant to ASC 810 Consolidation was required.
The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities assumed as a result of gaining control of these properties and the acquisition-related gains recognized:

(1) $65.2 million was allocated to noncontrolling interest for the portion the acquisition related gain that relates to our equity partners ownership in the properties.
During the first quarter of 2013, the Company acquired the interest of some of its existing partners in a 615-unit apartment building in Northern California, increasing its ownership from 15% to 94%. The original 15% interest had a book value of $0 due to prior distributions. Cash consideration of $15.7 million was paid by the Company to increase its ownership in the property to 94% and resulted in the Company obtaining control. The Company recorded an acquisition-related gain as the fair value was in excess of the carrying value of its ownership interest. As this transaction was between willing third party participants, the purchase price was an approximation of fair value.
In addition, by amending the existing operating agreements governing three retail centers in the Western U.S. (third quarter of 2013) and the Ritz Carlton, Lake Tahoe (fourth quarter of 2013) which the Company had previously accounted for using the equity method, the Company gained control of these properties and consolidated the properties at fair value.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2014, Kennedy Wilson foreclosed on a 133,000 square foot retail center and an adjacent 2.4 acre vacant lot in Van Nuys, CA. During the quarter ended September 30, 2014, Kennedy Wilson foreclosed on the notes secured by the Shelbourne Hotel in Dublin, Ireland.
As a result of the foreclosures and taking title to the properties, the assets and liabilities of the retail center and hotel were consolidated in KW Group's financial statements at fair value under ASC Topic 805 - Business Combinations and the vacant lot was consolidated in KW Group's financial statements at fair market value. As the fair value of the assets was in excess of the basis in the previously held mortgage notes, Kennedy Wilson recognized a $3.7 million acquisition-related gain on the retail center and vacant land and a $28.6 million acquisition-related gain on the hotel.

Investment Update - UK Loan Pool
In 2011, the Company, along with institutional partners, acquired a loan portfolio consisting of 58 performing loans (the “U.K. Loan Pool”). The Company, through a 50/50 joint venture with one of its partners, acquired a 25% participation interest in the pool for $440.9 million, of which $323.4 million was funded with debt that was fully repaid during 2013. As a result of the positive performance of the loan pool, all of the Company's initial equity contribution has been returned as of December 31, 2014. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received $66.2 million in distributions related to resolutions in the UK Loan Pool and $23.2 million from its additional asset management fee arrangement. As a result of the substantial liquidation of the loan pool in 2013, Kennedy Wilson has recognized a $2.8 million loss in foreign currency translations in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Income from Unconsolidated Investments

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(continued)
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
For the year ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 equity in joint venture income was $44.7 million, $29.8 million, and $21.5 million.
The increase in equity in joint venture income during 2014 compared to 2013 relates to the sale of the Company's 25% interest in a portfolio of commercial investments in Dublin, Ireland to KWE that resulted in a gain of $26.6 million on the Company's investment. This transaction was unanimously approved by the independent shareholders of KWE. There were no new European joint venture investments during 2014 so acquisition-related expenses were minimal compared to the prior period.
The increase in equity in joint venture income during 2013 compared to 2012 is primarily due to acquisition-related gains of $36.2 million on note conversions in European joint venture investments. See Note Conversion into Real Estate section below for a more detailed discussion. These gains were offset by acquisition-related expenses of $13.5 million relating to new joint ventures in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Spain which resulted in significant stamp duty taxes.
The following table presents the interest income and foreign currency gain and (loss) recognized by Kennedy Wilson during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 in each of the loan pools that were outstanding:

Note Conversion into Real Estate within Unconsolidated Investments
During 2013, the Company and its equity partners converted three mortgage notes into real estate owned. As a result of the conversion, the joint ventures were required to consolidate the assets and liabilities at fair value under ASC 805 - Business Combinations. As the fair value of each of the assets was in excess of the basis of the previously held mortgage note, the Company recorded the following acquisition related gains:

Investing distributions resulted from the sale of the commercial portfolio in Dublin, Ireland above as well as commercial properties in the Western United States and United Kingdom and homes in residential development projects in the Western United States, the refinancing of property level debt and loan resolutions. Operating distributions resulted from operating cash flow generated by the joint venture and loan pool participant investments.
Variable Interest Entities
We determine the appropriate accounting method with respect to all investments that are not VIEs based on the control-based framework (controlled entities are consolidated) provided by the consolidations guidance in ASC Topic 810. The Company's determination considers specific factors cited under ASC 810-20 "Control of Partnerships and Similar Entities" which presumes that control is held by the general partner (and managing member equivalents in limited liability companies). Limited partners' substantive participation rights may overcome this presumption of control. The Company accounts for joint ventures it is deemed not to control using the equity method of accounting while controlled entities are consolidated.
Capital Commitments

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(continued)
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
As of December 31, 2014, the Company has unfulfilled capital commitments totaling $33.1 million to five of its joint ventures. The Company may be called upon to contribute additional capital to joint ventures in satisfaction of the Company's capital commitment obligations.
Guarantees
The Company has certain guarantees associated with loans secured by consolidated assets or assets held directly or in various joint ventures. As of December 31, 2014 the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) the Company could be required to make under the guarantees was approximately $54.9 million which is approximately 1% of the property level debt of KW Group and its unconsolidated investments. The guarantees expire through 2021, and the Company’s performance under the guarantees would be required to the extent there is a shortfall upon liquidation between the principal amount of the loan and the net sale proceeds from the property. Based upon the Company’s evaluation of guarantees under ASC Subtopic 460-10 "Estimated Fair Value of Guarantees," the estimated fair value of guarantees made as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 is immaterial.

NOTE 6—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS AND THE FAIR VALUE OPTION
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS—Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ASC Subtopic 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to measurements involving significant unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
Level 1—Valuations based on unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities.
Level 2—Valuations based on observable inputs (other than Level 1 prices), such as quoted prices for similar assets and quoted prices in markets that are not active.
Level 3—Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement, and involve management judgment.
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.
The following table presents fair value measurements (including items that are required to be measured at fair value and items for which the fair value option has been elected) as of December 31, 2014:

Marketable Securities
Marketable securities include Kennedy Wilson's investment in publicly traded equity securities. The carrying value of marketable securities is a level 1 valuation as the fair value is based off of unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical securities. The amount above excludes Kennedy Wilson's 20.2 million shares in KWE as the investment is eliminated due to the consolidation of KWE's results in KW Group's financial statements. Based on the December 31, 2014 share price, Kennedy Wilson's investment in KWE had a market value of approximately $330.8 million (cost basis of $333.8 million). As of December 31, 2014, the Company had a net investment of approximately £203.1 million in KWE, and has hedged 46% of this investment through using currency forward contracts with a notional amount of £92.5 million.
Unconsolidated Investments
Kennedy Wilson records its investments in KW Property Fund III, L.P., Kennedy Wilson Real Estate Fund IV, and Fund V (the "Funds") based upon the net assets that would be allocated to its interests in the Funds assuming the Funds were to liquidate their investments at fair value as of the reporting date. The Company’s investment balance in the Funds was $24.9 million and $33.5 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which is included in unconsolidated investments in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had unfunded capital commitments to the Funds in the amount of $29.0 million.
Kennedy Wilson elected to use the fair value option ("FV Option") for three unconsolidated investments to more accurately reflect the timing of the value created in the underlying investments and report those results in current operations. Kennedy Wilson's investment balance in the FV Option investments was $61.0 million and $47.6 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are included in unconsolidated investments in the accompanying balance sheets.
In estimating fair value of real estate held by the Funds and the three FV Option investments, we consider significant unobservable inputs such as capitalization and discount rates.
The following table summarizes our investments in joint ventures held at fair value by type:
(Dollars in millions) | December 31, 2014 | December 31, 2013 | |||||

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(continued)
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
The change in unrealized and realized gains and losses are included in income from unconsolidated investments in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
The change in unrealized gains (losses) on level 3 investments during 2014 and 2013 for investments still held as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 were a loss of $2.0 million and a gain of $4.0 million, respectively.
In estimating fair value of real estate held by the Funds, three unconsolidated investments that elected the fair value option investments and the value of the real estate consolidated (as further described in Note 4), the Company considers significant inputs such as capitalization and discount rates. The table below describes the range of inputs used as of December 31, 2014 for real estate assets:
Estimated rates used for | ||||
Capitalization rates | Discount Rates | |||
Office | 5.25% — 8.25% | 7.00% — 11.00% | ||
Retail | 6.70% — 7.00% | 8.00% — 9.00% | ||
Hotel | 6.50% | 7.50% | ||
Multifamily | 4.40% — 6.50% | 4.90% — 9.50% | ||
Loan | n/a | 12.00% — 25.50% | ||
Land and condominium units | n/a | 8.00% — 9.00% | ||
In valuing real estate related assets and indebtedness, Kennedy Wilson considers significant inputs such as the term of the debt, value of collateral, market loan-to-value ratios, market interest rates and spreads, and credit quality of investment entities. The credit spreads used by Kennedy Wilson for these types of investments range from 0.50% to 4.94%.
The accuracy of estimating fair value for investments utilizing unobservable inputs cannot be determined with precision, cannot be substantiated by comparison to quoted prices in active markets, and may not be realized in a current sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Additionally, there are inherent uncertainties in any fair value measurement technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including cap rates, discount rates, liquidity risks, and estimates of future cash flows, could significantly affect the fair value measurement amounts.
Currency forward and option contracts
KW Group has currency forward and option contracts to manage their exposure to currency fluctuations between its functional currency (U.S. dollars) and the functional currency (euros, GBP, and JPY) of certain of our subsidiaries. To accomplish this objective, KW Group hedged these exposures by entering into currency forward and option contracts to partially hedge KW Group's exposure to its net investment in certain foreign operations caused by currency fluctuations. The currency forward contracts are valued based on the difference between the contract rate and the forward rate at maturity of the foreign currency applied to the notional value in that foreign currency discounted at a market rate for similar risks. The Company’s currency options are valued using a variant of the Black-Sholes model tailored for currency derivatives and the forward foreign currency contracts are valued based on the difference between the contract rate and the forward rate at maturity of the yen applied to the notional value in yen discounted at a market rate for similar risks. The Company has determined that, based on an evaluation of the significance of each of the inputs used to value these instruments, they are considered to be level 2 in their entirety. Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivative fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the counterparty risk adjustments associated with the derivative utilize Level 3 inputs. However, as of December 31, 2014, KW Group assessed the significance of the impact of the counterparty valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the counterparty valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuation in its entirety be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) as the portion of the currency forward and option contracts used to hedge currency exposure of its certain consolidated subsidiaries qualifies as a net investment hedge under FASB ASC Topic 815. The fair value of the derivative instruments held as of December 31, 2014 are reported in other assets for hedge assets and included in accrued expenses and other liabilities for hedge liabilities on the balance sheet. See Note 12 for a complete discussion on other comprehensive income including currency forward and option contracts and foreign currency translations.

In order to manage currency fluctuations between KWR's functional currency (U.S. dollar) and the functional currency of KWR's wholly owned subsidiaries (Japanese yen), KWR entered into forward and option foreign currency contracts to hedge a portion of its currency risk. Due to the consolidation of KWR, the hedge asset relating to the forward and option foreign currency contracts was consolidated in KW Group's financial statements at fair value.
In order to manage currency fluctuations between KWE's functional currency (GBP) and the functional currency of certain KWE's wholly owned subsidiaries (Euro), KWE entered into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge a portion of its currency risk. Due to the consolidation of KWE, the hedge asset relating to the forward foreign currency contracts was consolidated at fair value.
Fair value of financial instruments
The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable including related party receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, accrued salaries and benefits, and deferred and accrued income taxes approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of loans (excluding related party loans as they are presumed not to be an arm’s length transaction) approximates fair value as the terms are similar to loans with similar characteristics available in the market.
KW Group accounts for its debt liabilities at face value plus net unamortized debt premiums and any fair value adjustments as part of business combinations. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the fair value of our senior notes payable, borrowings under

lines of credit, and investment debt was estimated to be approximately $3,044.8 million and $878.2 million, respectively, based on a comparison of the yield that would be required in a current transaction, taking into consideration the risk of the underlying collateral and our credit risk to the current yield of a similar security, compared to their carrying value of $3,023.3 million and $850.8 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The inputs used to value our senior notes payable, borrowings under lines of credit, mortgage loans payable and junior subordinated debentures are based on observable inputs for similar assets and quoted prices in markets that are not active and are therefore determined to be level 2 inputs.

NOTE 9—BORROWINGS UNDER LINES OF CREDIT
KWH Facility
Kennedy Wilson has an unsecured revolving credit facility ("KWH Facility") with U.S. Bank and East-West Bank and Bank of Ireland that bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.75% and has a maturity date of October 1, 2016. In July 2014 Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. increased its unsecured corporate line of credit facility from $140.0 million to $300.0 million. The increase was driven by the admission of Bank of America, N.A., Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch and J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A. to the existing lender syndicate and an increased commitment from The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland.
The revolving loan agreement that governs the unsecured credit facility was updated due to the increase in the facility. The updated facility requires Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. to maintain (i) a minimum rent, adjusted fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the revolving loan agreement) of not less than 1.50 to 1.00, measured on a four quarter rolling average basis and (ii) maximum balance sheet leverage (as defined in the revolving loan agreement) of not greater than 1.50 to 1.00, measured at the end of each calendar quarter; (iii) an effective tangible net worth (as defined in the revolving loan agreement) equal to or greater than $500.0 million plus 50% of any equity offerings after March 31, 2014, measured at the end of each calendar quarter; and (iv) unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and publicly traded marketable securities in the aggregate amount of at least $40.0 million.
Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(continued)
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012

The revolving loan agreement also provides that any subsidiary guarantors under our 2042 Notes (as defined below) must provide guarantees of the loans drawn on our unsecured revolving credit facility. See Note 10 for a discussion of our senior notes.
The average outstanding borrowings under the facility were $22.9 million and $14.9 million during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were $125.0 million and $0.0 million outstanding under the unsecured facility, respectively.
KWE Facility

The facility was undrawn as of December 31, 2014 and expires in August of 2017. The KWE Facility requires KWE to maintain (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the revolving loan agreement) not to exceed 60%; (ii) a minimum net asset value where IFRS NAV (as defined in the KWE Facility agreement) is no less than £744.4 million plus 75% of equity proceeds received by subsidiaries; (iii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio where consolidated EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges is no less than 1.5 to 1.0 for the last four quarters; (iv) a minimum unsecured interest where property level net operating income ("NOI") and loan asset NOI to interest expense on unsecured debtors are no less than 1.9 to 1.0 for the last four quarters; and (v) a maximum secured recourse indebtedness for consolidated secured recourse debt of no more than 2.5% of total asset value at any time.

Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods which Kennedy Wilson’s gross deferred tax assets are deductible, management believes it is more likely than not Kennedy Wilson will realize the benefits of these deductible differences at December 31, 2014.
As of December 31, 2014 Kennedy Wilson had federal net operating losses of $95.2 million. These net operating losses begin to expire in the year 2030. As of December 31, 2014 there were also California net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $87.6 million. The California net operating losses begin to expire after the year 2028. In addition, Kennedy Wilson has $4.7 million of other state net operating losses. We believe that it is more likely than not that certain state net operating losses will expire before the Kennedy Wilson can realize the benefit of the losses. We have provided a valuation allowance of $0.8 million as of December 31, 2014 for certain state net operating losses. As of December 31, 2014, Kennedy Wilson had $47.9 million of foreign net operating losses carryforwards of which $3.0 million begin to expire in 2030 and $44.9 million have no expiration date. We have provided a valuation allowance of $14.7 million as of December 31, 2014 for certain foreign net operating losses.
Presently a deferred tax liability for undistributed earnings of subsidiaries located outside the United States has not been recorded. These earnings may become taxable upon a payment of a dividend or as a result of a sale or liquidation of the subsidiaries. At this time the Company does not have plans to repatriate income from its foreign subsidiaries, however to the extent that the Company is able to repatriate such earnings in a tax free manner, or in the event of a change in the capital situation or investment strategy, it is possible that the foreign subsidiaries may pay a dividend which would impact our effective tax rate. Unremitted earnings of foreign subsidiaries, which have been, or are intended to be permanently invested, aggregated approximately $9.5 million as of December 31, 2014. If these subsidiaries' earnings were repatriated to the United States additional U.S. domestic taxes of $4.5 million would be incurred.
There were no gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2014 and 2013. Management has considered the likelihood and significance of possible penalties associated with Kennedy Wilson's current and intended filing positions and has determined, based on its assessment, that such penalties, if any, would not expected to be significant.
Kennedy Wilson's federal income tax returns remain open to examination for the years 2011 through 2013.
For income tax purposes, distributions paid to common stockholders and preferred shareholder are return of capital for the year ended December 31, 2014.

NOTE 15—STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
In November 2009, Kennedy Wilson adopted the 2009 Equity Participation Plan ("the Equity Plan") that allows for the grant of up to approximately 2.5 million shares of common stock. As of December 31, 2014 all the restricted share awards were granted to employees, which vest ratably over a five year period. Vesting of the restricted share awards is contingent upon the expected achievement of a performance target as of the initial vesting date of November 13, 2010 and each of the next four years thereafter. The performance targets were achieved for 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2014. From inception of the plan through December 31, 2014, 2,526,119 shares have vested and 60,125 shares have been forfeited. The Company re-granted the forfeited shares in 2013. The restricted share awards are recognized as expense on a tranche by tranche basis over the five year performance period. As of December 31, 2014, there was $1.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost for the Equity Plan related to unvested restricted shares.
In June 2012, Kennedy Wilson adopted and its shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Participation Plan (the "Amended and Restated Plan") under which an additional 3.2 million shares of common stock have been reserved for restricted stock grants to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The terms of the awards granted under the 2009 Amended and Restated Equity Participation Plan are set by the Company's compensation committee at its discretion. During the year ended December 31, 2012, 3.2 million shares of restricted common stock were granted under the Amended and Restated Plan along with 5,000 shares which remained under the original plan. The shares vest over five years with 40% vesting ratably in

the first four years of the award period and the remaining 60% in the fifth year of the award period. Vesting of the restricted share awards is contingent upon the expected achievement of a performance target in each year of the award period with the initial vesting of the first 10% in January 2013. The performance targets were achieved for 2012, 2013 and 2014. From inception of the plan through December 31, 2014, 606,566 shares have vested and 112,500 shares have been forfeited. As of December 31, 2014, there was $33.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost for the Equity Plan related to unvested restricted shares which will vest over the next three years.
In July of 2014, Kennedy Wilson adopted and its shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 2009 Equity Participation Plan under which an additional 6 million shares of common stock have been reserved for restricted stock grants to officers, employees, non-employee directors and consultants. The terms of the awards granted under the 2009 Amended and Restated Equity Participation Plan are set by the Company's compensation committee at its discretion. The shares will vest ratably over a five-year year period based on the achievement of certain performance targets. The performance periods over which the Company’s return on equity will be measured for the awards will be the Company’s fiscal years ending December 31, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2014, 3.3 million shares of restricted common stock were granted under the Amended and Restated Plan. From inception of the plan through December 31, 2014, no shares had vested or been forfeited. As of December 31, 2014, there was $72.3 million of unrecognized compensation cost for the Equity Plan related to unvested restricted shares which will vest over the next five years.
During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, Kennedy Wilson recognized $15.8 million, $7.5 million and $8.1 million of compensation expense related to the vesting of restricted common stock and is included in compensation and related expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. During 2013, the Company modified the Amended and Restated Plan to remove an external performance component associated with the vesting of awards. This modification changed the accounting treatment of the Amended and Restated Plan to be equity based as opposed to liability based. Due to this change, $4.7 million was reclassified from a liability to equity during the year ended December 31, 2013.

The series A Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at any time at the option of the holder prior to May 19, 2015 at a price of $12.41 per share and is mandatorily convertible into common stock on May 19, 2015. The series B Preferred Stock is convertible into common stock at any time at the option of the holder prior to November 3, 2018 at a price of $10.70 per share and is mandatorily convertible into common stock on November 3, 2018. The series A and series B Preferred Stock have dividend rates of 6.0% and 6.452% payable quarterly.
The certificate of designations of the Preferred Stock contain provisions that require Kennedy Wilson to commence an offer to purchase all shares of the Preferred Stock at a purchase price in cash per share of Preferred Stock equal to $1,150 plus all accumulated and accrued dividends upon the occurrence of a fundamental change, defined as a change of control. The parties have agreed that a change of control is deemed to occur when any person or group other than the purchaser of the Preferred Stock and its affiliates, or any officer or director of Kennedy Wilson as of the issue date of the Preferred Stock, acquires directly or indirectly voting control or direction over more than 35% of the voting control of Kennedy Wilson for a period of seven consecutive days following the earlier of the date the Company becomes aware of such acquisition and the date such person or group files a Schedule 13D. This change of control provision is within Kennedy Wilson’s control as the Board of Directors, at its discretion, would be able to issue blank check Preferred Stock at any time for any reason which could dilute the person or group to below the 35% of the voting control threshold. As such, Kennedy Wilson has concluded that the change of control is within the control of Kennedy Wilson and therefore has classified the Preferred Stock as permanent equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock, Kennedy Wilson entered into registration rights agreements that allow for the holders of the Preferred Stock, with at least a 51% vote, to demand registration of the Preferred Stock (or converted common stock) on or after November 13, 2010. If Kennedy Wilson does not satisfy the demand for registration, the holders of the Preferred Stock (or converted common stock) would be entitled to receive a payment in an amount equal to 1.50% per annum of the liquidation preference of $1,000 per share. There are sufficient shares of unregistered common stock authorized and unissued to accommodate the conversion feature.
Warrants
In April 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a warrant repurchase program enabling Kennedy Wilson to repurchase up to 12.5 million of its outstanding warrants. The warrants carry an exercise price of $12.50 with an expiration date of November 14, 2014. On December 20, 2013, Kennedy Wilson redeemed 6,963 warrants at a price of $0.01 per warrant since the share price of its common stock exceeded $19.50 per share for 20 trading days within a 30 trading day period ending on the third business day prior to the notice of redemption to warrant holders.
During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, Kennedy Wilson repurchased a total of 0.4 million and 0.6 million of its outstanding warrants for total consideration of $1.4 million and $1.6 million. The Company received $15.4 million from warrant holders due to the exercise of 2.7 million warrants during 2013. The remaining 2.7 million warrants outstanding were exercised on a cashless basis on November 14, 2014 for 1.5 million common shares. As of December 31, 2014 there were no warrants outstanding.
Dividend Distributions
Kennedy Wilson declared and paid the following cash dividends on its common and preferred stock:

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
The following table summarizes the changes in each component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI"), net of 40% estimated tax:

The local currencies for our interests in foreign operations include the euro, the British pound sterling, and the Japanese yen. The related amounts on our balance sheets are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rates at the respective financial statement date, while amounts on our statements of operations are translated at the average exchange rates during the respective period. The increase in the unrealized losses on foreign currency translation is a result of the strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the Japanese yen, euro and British pound sterling during the year ended December 31, 2014.
In order to manage currency fluctuations, KWR entered into forward foreign currency contracts to hedge a portion of its Japanese yen-based investments. The Company also has currency forward contracts to manage its exposure to currency fluctuations between its functional currency (U.S. dollars) and the functional currency (euros and GBP) of certain of its investments in Europe (see note 7 for more detail).
As a result of the consolidations of KWR and six separate joint ventures that hold real estate-related investments located in the U.K. and Ireland the Company has reclassified $7.1 million out of AOCI and recognized a gain in acquisition-related gain in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests consist of the ownership interests of noncontrolling shareholders in consolidated subsidiaries and are presented separately on the balance sheet. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013 the Company has noncontrolling interest of $2.1 billion and $50.6 million. The increase in noncontrolling interests during 2014 is primarily due to the Company's investment in and consolidation of KWE as well as the consolidations of KWR and the six joint venture investments that hold real estate in United Kingdom and Ireland discussed above. Kennedy Wilson recorded an increase $1.9 billion for the issuance of KWE shares and $291.8 million for the consolidation of the joint ventures mentioned above. The Company also allocated $68.2 million of income, $83.8 million of other comprehensive losses and made distributions of $57.7 million to noncontrolling interest holders.
NOTE 17—EARNINGS PER SHARE

Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—(continued)
December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
Under FASB ASC Topic 260-10-45 Earnings Per Share, the Company uses the two-class method to calculate earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on dividends declared (“distributed earnings”) and the rights of common shares and participating securities in any undistributed earnings, which represents net income remaining after deduction of dividends declared during the period. Participating securities, which include unvested restricted stock, are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. The undistributed earnings are allocated to all outstanding common shares and participating securities based on the relative percentage of each security to the total number of outstanding securities. Basic earnings per common share and participating securities represent the summation of the distributed and undistributed earnings per common share and participating security divided by the total weighted average number of common shares outstanding and the total weighted average number of participating securities outstanding during the respective periods. We only present the earnings per share attributable to the common shareholders.
Net losses, after deducting the dividends to participating securities, are allocated in full to the common shares since the participating security holders do not have an obligation to share in the losses, based on the contractual rights and obligations of the participating securities. Because KW Group incurred losses for years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, all potentially dilutive instruments are anti-dilutive and have been excluded from our computation of weighted average dilutive shares outstanding for that period. The following is a summary of the elements used in calculating basic and diluted income (loss) per share for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012:
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share:

The dilutive shares from convertible securities have not been included in the diluted weighted average shares as Kennedy Wilson for the year ended December 31, 2014 as they are anti-dilutive. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 the dilutive shares for warrants, convertible securities, and unvested shares have not been included as they are anti-dilutive. There was a total of 11,100,074, 13,494,478 and 19,339,021 potentially dilutive securities as of December 31, 2014 2013 and 2012 not included as part of the calculation above as they were anti-dilutive.

Item 9A. | Controls and procedures |
Disclosure controls and procedures and changes in internal control over financial reporting during the latest quarter
Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.
Our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2014. Based upon that evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2014.
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act.
Our management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on this evaluation, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014.
KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, audited the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, as stated in their report included in this report.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes during our last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
