____________
LOS ANGELES (October 30, 2019)—Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the "Company" or "Hudson Pacific") (NYSE: HPP) today announced financial results for the third quarter 2019.
Management Comments & Industry Outlook
Victor Coleman, Hudson Pacific Properties' Chairman and CEO, said:
"Our third quarter and year-to-date results highlight solid momentum across all aspects of our business, whether in terms of leasing, operations, development, capital recycling or balance sheet management. We signed another half a million square feet of leases this quarter with exceptional rent spreads. This strong execution, coupled with excellent West Coast office and studio fundamentals, contributed to robust NOI growth at our same-store properties, and to our decision to raise guidance assumptions in relation to those properties yet again. In addition, recent development and redevelopment deliveries, including our fully pre-leased EPIC project earlier this month, are now poised to contribute substantially to our non-same-store property NOI growth starting in the fourth quarter and beyond.
"Specific to our balance sheet, during and subsequent to the quarter, we continued to address near-term maturities, further improving our credit profile and liquidity. We used net proceeds from our Campus Center sale and our third successful public debt offering to either repay or improve terms on our outstanding indebtedness. Shortly thereafter, we received an upgrade to Baa2 with a stable outlook from Moody's. We now have only $65.0 million maturing next year, with no maturities thereafter until 2022, and over $900.0 million of immediate liquidity to support our growth objectives and business plan."

Office Segment Results
Financial & operating
For third quarter 2019 compared to third quarter 2018:

• | Total revenue increased 15.2% to $186.0 million. Primary factors include:

◦ | Acquisitions of 10850 Pico (August 31, 2018) and the Ferry Building (October 9, 2018), commencement of leases at Fourth & Traction and Maxwell, as well as improved occupancy and rents across the Company's in-service office portfolio, partially offset by the sale of Peninsula Office Park (July 27, 2018);

• | Operating expenses increased 16.9% to $67.0 million, primarily due to the aforementioned asset acquisitions, partially offset by the aforementioned sale; and

• | Net operating income and cash net operating income for the 35 same-store office properties increased 8.0% and 7.5%, respectively.

Leasing

• | Executed 71 new and renewal leases totaling 551,721 square feet with GAAP and cash rent growth of 26.2% and 12.5%, respectively (note GAAP and cash rent growth was muted by Github’s third-quarter renewal and the conversion of its lease from modified gross to triple net expense recovery; adjustment for this conversion, based on estimated current year operating expenses, would result in third quarter GAAP and cash rent growth of 34.1% and 19.4%, respectively, and year-to-date GAAP and cash rent growth of 38.5% and 25.1%, respectively).

Studio Segment Results
Financial & operating
For third quarter 2019 compared to third quarter 2018:

Issued $400.0 million of additional public debt
On October 3, 2019, the Company's operating partnership, Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), completed a public offering of $400.0 million of senior notes issued at 99.268% of par value, with a coupon of 3.250%, maturing on January 15, 2030. The Operating Partnership used the net proceeds to repay its $300.0 million five-year term loan due April 2020, and to pay down its remaining $80.0 million balance on its revolving credit facility, with the remainder available for general corporate purposes.
Upgraded by Moody's to Baa2 with stable outlook
On October 16, 2019, Moody’s Investors Service ("Moody's") upgraded the Company’s credit rating, including its long-term issuer and senior unsecured ratings, from Baa3 to Baa2 with a stable outlook. The upgrade reflects the Company's quality portfolio in high-growth West Coast markets with solid fundamentals, good liquidity profile supported by a large unencumbered asset base, and strong fixed charge coverage. Moody’s also highlighted the Company’s experienced management team; demonstrated success in leasing, repositioning, development and redevelopment; and commitment to owning and operating sustainable and efficient properties.
2019 Outlook
The Company increased its full-year 2019 FFO guidance from its previously announced range of $1.98 to $2.04 per diluted share, excluding specified items, to a revised range of $2.00 to $2.06 per diluted share, excluding specified items. Specified items consist of transaction-related expenses of $0.5 million identified in connection with the Company's first and third quarter results, and one-time debt extinguishment costs of $0.7 million, $0.1 million of which was identified in connection with the Company's first quarter results and another $0.6 million of which will be identified in connection with the Company's fourth quarter results, stemming from the repayment of our $300.0 million five-year term loan due April 2020, as described earlier. Combined, these specified items total $1.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share.
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. 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):

Press Release

| Full Year 2019
Metric | Low | High
Growth in same-store office property cash NOI(1)(2) | 5.00% | 6.00%
Growth in same-store studio property cash NOI(1)(2) | 7.00% | 8.00%
GAAP non-cash revenue (straight-line rent and above/below-market rents)(3) | $59,000 | $69,000
GAAP non-cash expense (straight-line rent expense and above/below-market ground rent) | $(4,000) | $(4,000)
General and administrative expenses(4)(5) | $(70,000) | $(74,000)
Interest expense(6) | $(105,500) | $(108,500)
Interest income | $3,450 | $3,550
Corporate-related depreciation and amortization | $(2,050) | $(2,150)
FFO from unconsolidated joint ventures | $3,000 | $4,000
FFO attributable to non-controlling interests | $(26,500) | $(30,500)
Weighted average common stock/units outstanding—diluted(7) | 156,000 | 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 ASC 842 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/premiums, which the Company estimates at $6,500 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 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 and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), adjusting for consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. The calculation of FFO includes amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of the related tenant improvement assets. Hudson Pacific believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of its 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 the Company's 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, the Company's 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, Hudson Pacific believes that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of the Company's performance relative to its 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 Hudson Pacific's 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 the Company's properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact the Company's results from operations.

2. | During second quarter 2018, Hudson Pacific recognized a $928 thousand unrealized gain on an unconsolidated non-real estate investment accounted for using the cost method approach. In December 2018, NAREIT issued a FFO White Paper providing an option to include these mark-to-market adjustments in the Company's calculation of FFO. During fourth quarter 2018, Hudson Pacific elected this option retroactively.

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 the Company's performance, or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity, or the Company's 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 the Company's 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 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.
