____________
LOS ANGELES (May 2, 2019)—Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the "Company" or "Hudson Pacific") (NYSE: HPP) today announced financial results for the first quarter 2019.
Management Comments & Industry Outlook
Victor Coleman, Hudson Pacific Properties' Chairman and CEO, said:
"Hudson Pacific Properties' leasing momentum continued through the first quarter of 2019, as tech and media companies continue to quickly absorb office and studio space within our portfolio to accommodate their growth. We signed another one million square feet of leases across our markets. We completed a landmark, nearly 600,000-square-foot lease with Google for all of our One Westside redevelopment in West Los Angeles, and WeWork leased the entire office portion of our Maxwell redevelopment in the Los Angeles Arts District. As a result, our one-million-square-foot-plus pipeline of value creation projects is now 90% pre-leased. We have also renewed or backfilled, or are in leases, LOIs, or proposals, on 65% of our remaining 2019 expirations, which are 17% below market.
"This quarter, we also announced our anticipated entrée into the Vancouver office market via a joint venture with Blackstone Property Partners. Bentall Centre, in terms of its ownership structure, scale, scope, and value creation potential, exemplifies our skill and creative ability to access exceptional new avenues for growth."

• | The dividends were paid on March 28, 2019 to stockholders of record on March 18, 2019.

2019 Outlook
The Company is increasing its full-year 2019 FFO guidance from its previously announced range of $1.95 to $2.03 per diluted share, excluding specified items, to a revised range of $1.96 to $2.04 per diluted share, excluding specified items.
The full-year 2019 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 press release and in earlier announcements. The estimates also assume the successful disposition before the end of this second quarter of Campus Center, including the adjacent land held for development, for a combined amount of approximately $150.0 million before credits, prorations and closing costs, with proceeds expected to be applied toward repayment of the Company’s revolving credit facility or other unsecured indebtedness. It otherwise excludes any impact from future unannounced or speculative acquisitions, dispositions, debt financings or repayments, recapitalizations, capital markets activity or similar matters. There can be no assurance that the actual results will not differ materially from this estimate.
Below are some of the assumptions the Company used in providing this guidance (dollars and share data in thousands):

Metric | Low | High
Growth in same-store office property cash NOI(1)(2) | 3.00% | 4.00%
Growth in same-store studio property cash NOI(1)(2) | 4.50% | 5.50%
GAAP non-cash revenue (straight-line rent and above/below-market rents)(3) | $61,000 | $71,000

Interest expense(6) | $(106,000) | $(109,000)
Interest income | $3,200 | $3,300
Corporate-related depreciation and amortization | $(2,050) | $(2,150)
FFO from unconsolidated joint ventures | $2,500 | $3,500
FFO attributable to non-controlling interests | $(24,500) | $(28,500)
Weighted average common stock/units outstanding—diluted(7) | $155,000 | $157,000

1. | Same-store is defined as the 31 office properties or three studio properties, as applicable, owned and included in the Company's stabilized portfolio as of January 1, 2018, and anticipated to still be owned and included in the stabilized portfolio through December 31, 2019.

2. | Please see non-GAAP information below for definition of cash NOI.

3. | Includes non-cash straight-line rent associated with the studio and office properties.

4. | Includes non-cash compensation expense, which the Company estimates at $20,500 in 2019.

5. | Includes approximately $5.4 million related to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842, Leases, on January 1, 2019, under which lessors will only capitalize incremental direct leasing costs. As a result, the Company will no longer capitalize certain legal costs and internal leasing compensation and instead will expense these costs as incurred.

6. | Includes amortization of deferred financing costs and loan discounts, which the Company estimates at $6,250 in 2019.

7. | Diluted shares represent ownership in the Company through shares of common stock, OP Units and other convertible or exchangeable instruments. The weighted average fully diluted common stock/units outstanding for 2019 includes an estimate for the dilution impact of stock grants to the Company's executives under its 2017, 2018 and 2019 outperformance programs, as well as performance-based awards under the Company's special one-time retention award grants. This estimate is based on the projected award potential of such programs as of the end of such periods, as calculated in accordance with the ASC 260, Earnings Per Share.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis, including the information under "2019 Outlook" above, where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amount of various items that would impact net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share, which is the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure. This includes, for example, acquisition costs and other non-core items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. Forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

1. | Hudson Pacific calculates FFO in accordance with the White Paper issued in December 2018 on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate, gains and losses from sale of certain real estate assets and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets) and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The calculation of FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. In the December 2018 White Paper, NAREIT, provided an option to include value changes in mark-to-market equity securities in the calculation of FFO. The Company elected this option, retroactively during fourth quarter 2018. The Company believe that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of our activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs.

Implicit in historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, we believe that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of our performance relative to our competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities than the required GAAP presentations alone would provide. Hudson Pacific uses FFO per share to calculate annual cash bonuses for certain employees.
However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our operating performance because it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact our results from operations.

1. | Hudson Pacific evaluates performance based upon property NOI from continuing operations. NOI is not a measure of operating results or cash flows from operating activities or cash flows as measured by GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to income from continuing operations, as an indication of our performance, or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, or our ability to make distributions. All companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. Hudson Pacific considers NOI to be a useful performance measure to investors and management because when compared across periods, NOI reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating our properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from income from continuing operations. Hudson Pacific calculates NOI as net income (loss) excluding corporate general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, impairments, gains/losses on sales of real estate, interest expense, transaction-related expenses and other non-operating items. Hudson Pacific defines NOI as operating revenues (including rental revenues, other property-related revenue, tenant recoveries and other operating revenues), less property-level operating expenses (which includes external management fees, if any, and property-level general and administrative expenses). NOI on a cash basis is NOI adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments required by GAAP. Hudson Pacific believes NOI on a cash basis is helpful to investors as an additional measure of operating performance because it eliminates straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments to revenue and expenses.
