Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are the consolidated financial statements of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership and our consolidated JVs. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements. We consolidate entities in which we are considered to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE or have a majority of the voting interest of the entity. We are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we have (i) the power to direct the activities of that VIE that most significantly impact its economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. We do not consolidate entities in which the other parties have substantive kick-out rights to remove our power to direct the activities, most significantly impacting the economic performance, of that VIE. In determining whether we are the primary beneficiary, we consider factors such as ownership interest, management representation, authority to control decisions, and contractual and substantive participating rights of each party.
Basis of Accounting | The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC in conformity with US GAAP as established by the FASB in the ASC. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the consolidated financial statements prepared in conformity with US GAAP may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading. The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the notes thereto. Any references to the number or class of properties, square footage, per square footage amounts, apartment units and geography, are outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB.
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make certain estimates that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Rental revenues and tenant recoveries We account for our rental revenues, and variable lease payments such as tenant recoveries and parking revenues, in accordance with Topic 842. We adopted a practical expedient which allows us to account for our rental revenues, tenant recoveries and certain parking revenues on a combined basis. Rental revenues and tenant recoveries from tenant leases are included in Rental revenues and tenant recoveries on our consolidated statements of operations. Tenant recoveries were $13.2 million and $16.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $38.3 million and $37.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Parking revenues are included in Parking and other income on our consolidated statements of operations. Collectibility In accordance with Topic 842, we perform an assessment as to whether or not substantially all of the amounts due under a tenant’s lease agreement is deemed probable of collection. This assessment involves using a methodology that requires judgment and estimates about matters that are uncertain at the time the estimates are made, including tenant specific factors, specific industry conditions, and general economic trends and conditions. For leases where we have concluded it is probable that we will collect substantially all the lease payments due under those leases, we continue to record lease income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. For leases where we have concluded that it is not probable that we will collect substantially all the lease payments due under those leases, we limit the lease income to the lesser of the income recognized on a straight-line basis or cash basis. We write-off tenant receivables and deferred rent receivables as a charge against rental revenues and tenant recoveries in the period we conclude that substantially all of the lease payments are not probable of collection. If we subsequently collect amounts that were previously written off then the amounts collected are recorded as an increase to our rental revenues and tenant recoveries in the period they are collected. If our conclusion of collectibility changes, we will record the difference between the lease income that would have been recognized on a straight-line basis and cash basis as a current-period adjustment to rental revenues and tenant recoveries.
Income Taxes | Income Taxes We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. Provided that we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities. We are subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings that we derive through our TRS.
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements Changes to US GAAP are implemented by the FASB in the form of ASUs. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. As of the date of this Report, the FASB has not issued any ASUs that we expect to be applicable and have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
EPS | We calculate basic EPS by dividing the net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We calculate diluted EPS by dividing the net (loss) income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive instruments outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. We account for unvested LTIP awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities and include these securities in the computation of basic and diluted EPS using the two-class method.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Our estimates of the fair value of financial instruments were determined using available market information and widely used valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and determine an estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or valuation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair values. The FASB fair value framework hierarchy distinguishes between assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity, and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market-based inputs. The hierarchy is as follows: Level 1 - inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - inputs are observable either directly or indirectly for similar assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 3 - inputs are unobservable assumptions generated by the reporting entity.
