Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Announces Fourth Quarter and
Full Year 2011 Financial Results

Los Angeles, CA, March 8, 2012 - Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: HPP) today announced fourth quarter and year-end financial results for the period ended December 31, 2011.

Financial Results

Funds From Operations (FFO) (excluding specified items) for the three months ended December 31, 2011 totaled $9.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to FFO (excluding specified items) of $5.1 million, or $0.21 per share, a year ago. The expenses associated with the acquisition of operating properties during the fourth quarter of 2011 were $0.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to $1.6 million, or $0.06 per share, a year ago. FFO including the specified items totaled $8.2 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to $4.6 million or $0.19 per share, a year ago.
  
The Company reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $3.2 million, or $(0.10) per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2011, compared to net loss attributable to common shareholders of $1.2 million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2010.

“We made solid progress in all areas of our strategy during the fourth quarter,” said Mr. Victor J. Coleman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. “We completed the acquisition of the 205,000 square-foot 6922 Hollywood Boulevard property, increasing our already sizable presence in the highly competitive Hollywood submarket, which is benefiting from strong media, entertainment and technology tenancy. We also completed new and renewal leases totaling 104,849 square feet to improve the leased rate of our office portfolio to 91.0%.”

Fourth Quarter Highlights

FFO (excluding specified items) of $9.1 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, up from $5.1 million, or $0.21 per share (excluding specified items), a year ago;
Completed new and renewal leases totaling 104,849 square feet, including 64,047 square feet of new leases at 1455 Market Street in San Francisco;
Completed acquisition of 6922 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood;
Declared and paid quarterly dividend of $0.125 per common share; and
Declared and paid dividend of $0.52344 per share on 8.375% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock.

Combined Operating Results For The Three Months Ended December 31, 2011

Total revenue during the quarter increased 75.7% to $37.1 million from $21.1 million for the same quarter a year ago. The increase in total revenue was primarily attributable to an $11.5 million increase in rental revenue to $26.4 million, a $4.3 million increase in tenant recoveries to $6.3 million, which was partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in other property-related revenue to $2.5 million. The increase in rental revenue and tenant recoveries from a year ago was largely the result of rental revenue from office properties acquired during the fourth quarter of 2010 and third and fourth quarters of 2011. The decrease in other property-related revenue was the result of slower production activity at the Company’s Sunset Gower property associated with lower occupancy at that property compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Total operating expenses increased 92.4% to $33.1 million from $17.2 million for the same quarter a year ago. The increase in total operating expenses was primarily the result of a $7.6 million increase in office operating expenses to $12.1 million, a $5.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization to $11.6 million, and a $1.9 million increase in general and administrative expenses. The increase in office operating expenses and depreciation and amortization were primarily related to office properties acquired during the fourth quarter of 2010 and third and fourth quarters of 2011. Operating expenses at the Company's media and entertainment properties in the fourth quarter of 2010 benefited from a $1.1 million one-time property tax savings recovery, with no comparable savings in the fourth quarter of 2011.





As a result, operating expenses for that segment increased in the fourth quarter of 2011 by $0.8 million to $5.4 million compared to the same quarter a year ago, but would have decreased compared to the same quarter a year ago if the $1.1 million property tax savings recovery in the fourth quarter of 2010 is disregarded.

As a result, income from operations decreased 1.3% to $3.9 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to income from operations of $3.9 million for the same quarter a year ago.

Interest expense during the fourth quarter increased 60.7% to $4.2 million, compared to interest expense of $2.6 million for the same quarter a year ago. At December 31, 2011, the Company had $399.9 million of notes payable related to some of its properties, compared to $342.1 million of notes payable a year ago and $298.7 million of notes payable at September 30, 2011.

Segment Operating Results For The Three Months Ended December 31, 2011

Office Properties

Total revenue at the Company’s office properties increased 146.7% to $28.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 from $11.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily the result of an $11.6 million increase in rental revenue to $21.1 million, a $4.4 million increase in tenant recoveries to $6.0 million, and a $1.1 million increase in parking and other revenue to $1.8 million, which were primarily attributable to properties acquired during the fourth quarter of 2010 and third and fourth quarters of 2011.

Office property operating expenses increased 166.3% to $12.1 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 from $4.6 million for the same quarter a year ago. The increase was primarily the result of office properties acquired during the fourth quarter of 2010 and third and fourth quarters of 2011.

At December 31, 2011, the Company’s office portfolio was 91.0% leased, up from 88.0% leased a year ago. During the quarter, the Company executed 17 new and renewal leases totaling 104,849 square feet. Leasing activity included the completion of 64,407 square feet of new leases at the Company’s 1455 Market Street property in San Francisco.

Media and Entertainment Properties

Total revenue at the Company’s media and entertainment properties decreased 12.3% to $8.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2011 from $9.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2010. The decrease was primarily the result of a $0.9 million decrease in other property-related revenue to $2.5 million, a $0.1 million decrease in rental revenue to $5.4 million, and a $0.1 million decrease in tenant recoveries, which were largely attributable to slower production activity and lower occupancy at the Company’s Sunset Gower property compared to the same quarter a year ago.

Total media and entertainment expenses increased 16.3% to $5.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to $4.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily as a result of lower operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2010 associated with a property tax savings recovery of $1.1 million, as described earlier.

As of December 31, 2011, the trailing 12-month occupancy for the Company’s media and entertainment portfolio was 70.1% compared to 72.6% for the trailing 12-month period ended December 31, 2010 and 73.1% for the trailing 12-month period ended September 30, 2011.

Combined Operating Results For The Year Ended December 31, 2011

For the year ended December 31, 2011, total revenue was $142.2 million, an increase of 134.5% from $60.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Total operating expenses were $124.9 million, compared to $50.4 million in 2010. As a result, income from operations was $17.3 million, compared to income from operations of $10.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2010. The Company had acquisition-related expense during the twelve months of 2011 of $1.7 million, compared to $4.3 million for the same period a year ago. Interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2011 increased 97.9% to $17.5 million from $8.8 million in 2010.






Balance Sheet

At December 31, 2011, the Company had total assets of $1.2 billion, including cash and cash equivalents of $13.7 million. In addition, at December 31, 2011, the Company had total capacity of approximately $159.9 million on its $200.0 million secured credit facility, of which $121.0 million had been drawn. Subsequent to year-end, the Company completed the financings and public offering described below and applied proceeds from those to repay indebtedness under its secured revolving credit facility, such that there was no outstanding balance under the facility as of the date of this press release.

Acquisitions

On November 22, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of 6922 Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, for a total gross purchase price of $92.5 million (before closing costs and prorations), including the assumption of an existing $42.2 million loan. 6922 Hollywood is a 12-story, approximately 205,522 square-foot project comprising approximately 171,828 square feet of office space and approximately 33,694 square feet of ground-floor retail space. The property is leased to multiple tenants, with an average remaining lease term of approximately seven years. The $42.2 million loan bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 5.5775%, with 30-year amortization, and matures in January 2015.

Financings

On January 19, 2012, the Company closed a 10-year term loan totaling $43.0 million with PNC Bank, National Association, secured by the Company’s First Financial Plaza property. The loan bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 4.58% and will mature in February 2022. Proceeds from the loan were used to repay indebtedness under the Company’s secured revolving credit facility.

On February 24, 2012, the Company closed a 10-year term loan totaling $30.0 million with Cantor Commercial Real Estate Lending, L.P., secured by our 10950 Washington property. The loan bears interest at a fixed annual rate of 5.316% and will mature on March 11, 2022. Proceeds from the loan were primarily used to repay indebtedness under our secured revolving credit facility.

Preferred Offering

On January 23, 2012, the Company completed the public offering of 2,300,000 shares of its 8.375% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock (including 300,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and sold pursuant to the exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option in full) with the liquidation preference of $25.00 per share.
Total proceeds from the offering, after deducting underwriting discounts, were approximately $56.1 million (before transaction costs). The Company used the proceeds of the offering to repay indebtedness outstanding under its secured revolving credit facility.

Dividend

The Company’s Board of Directors declared a dividend on its common stock of $0.125 per share and on its 8.375% Series B Cumulative Preferred Stock of $0.52344 per share for the fourth quarter of 2011. Both dividends were paid on December 30, 2011 to stockholders of record on December 20, 2011.

2012 Outlook

The Company is providing full-year 2012 FFO guidance in the range of $1.00 to $1.04 per diluted share. This guidance includes all completed acquisitions, the $43.0 million term loan secured by First Financial Plaza, the $30.0 million term loan secured by 10950 Washington, and the issuance of 2,300,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock, all of which are described above. The Company estimates the impact of the dividends on the new Series B shares will be $0.13 per





common share in 2012. However, as is always the case, the Company's guidance does not anticipate any impact to FFO from speculative acquisitions. The full-year 2012 FFO estimates reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels and the earnings impact of events referenced in this release, but otherwise exclude any impact from future acquisitions, dispositions, debt financings or repayments, recapitalizations, capital market activity, or similar matters.

Use of Non-GAAP Information

We calculate funds from operations before non-controlling interest (FFO) in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). FFO represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairments of depreciable property, other than temporary impairments of investments, real estate depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of above/below market lease intangible assets and liabilities and amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts/premium) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We use FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that results from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
