Executive Summary

We own and operate 18.0 million square feet of Class A office properties and 4,528 apartment units (excluding our residential development pipeline and the vacated Barrington Plaza units) in the premier coastal submarkets of Los Angeles and Honolulu.

Quarterly Results: For the quarter ended March 31, 2024 compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2023:

  • Our revenues decreased by 2.9% to $245.0 million, as increased revenue from new residential units, higher in-place office rents and increased parking revenue were more than offset by lower office occupancy, lower tenant recoveries, and the removal of Barrington Plaza apartments from the rental market.
  • Our net income attributable to common stockholders decreased by 51.5% to net income of $8.9 million, or net income of $0.05 per diluted share, primarily due to higher interest expense and lower revenues, partially offset by lower operating expenses.
  • Our FFO decreased by 8.7% to $90.1 million, or $0.45 per fully diluted share, primarily due to higher interest expense and lower revenues, partially offset by lower operating expenses.
  • Our AFFO decreased by 8.2% to $74.7 million.
  • Our same property Cash NOI increased by 0.7% to $146.1 million, reflecting lower expenses including some property tax refunds.

Leasing: During the first quarter, we signed 214 office leases covering 1.2 million square feet, including 202,000 square feet of new leases and 987,000 square feet of renewal leases. Renewals included a 250,000 square foot lease in Beverly Hills, extending the term for ten years through 2037. Comparing the office leases we signed during the first quarter to the expiring leases for the same space, straight-line rents increased by 23.8% and cash rents increased by 1.9%. Our multifamily portfolio remains essentially fully leased at 98.9%.

Balance sheet: At quarter end, we had cash and cash equivalents of $556.7 million. We have strong cash flow after dividends, no corporate level debt, and almost half of our office properties remain unencumbered.

Dividends: On April 16, 2024, we paid a quarterly cash dividend of $0.19 per common share, or $0.76 per common share on an annualized basis.

Guidance: First quarter FFO per share was above expectations due to lower operating expenses, and we expect straight-line revenue to be higher during the balance of the year. Nevertheless, we have left FFO guidance for the year unchanged, because we expect the operating expense savings and higher straight-line revenue to be offset by higher interest expense. As a result, we still expect Net Income Per Common Share - Diluted to be between $0.04 and $0.10, and our FFO per fully diluted share to be between $1.64 and $1.70. Our guidance does not include the impact of future property acquisitions or dispositions, stock sales or repurchases, financings, property damage insurance recoveries, impairment charges or other possible capital markets activities. See page 22.

NOTE: See the non-GAAP reconciliations for FFO & AFFO on page 8and same property NOI on page 10. See the "Definitions" section for definitions of certain terms used in this Earnings Package.

Forward Looking Statements (FLS)

This First Quarter 2024 Earnings Results and Operating Information, which we refer to as our Earnings Package (EP), supplements the information provided in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It contains FLS within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and we claim the protection of the safe harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to the expectations regarding the performance of our business, financial results, liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements. In some cases, these FLS can be identified by the use of words such as "expect," "potential," "continue," "may," "will," "should," "could," "seek," "project," "intend," "plan," "estimate," "anticipate," or the negative version of these words or other similar words which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. FLS presented in this EP, and those that we may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on our beliefs and assumptions. Our actual results will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors, some of which are beyond our control or ability to predict, including, but not limited to: adverse economic, political or real estate developments affecting Southern California or Honolulu, Hawaii; competition from other real estate investors in our markets; decreased rental rates or increased tenant incentives and vacancy rates; reduced demand for office space, including as a result of remote work and flexible working arrangements that allow work from remote locations other than the employer's office premises; defaults on, early terminations of, or non-renewal of leases by tenants; increases in interest rates and operating costs, including due to inflation; insufficient cash flows to service our debt or pay rent on ground leases; difficulties in raising capital; inability to liquidate real estate or other investments quickly; difficulties in acquiring properties; failure to successfully operate properties; failure to maintain our REIT status; adverse changes in rent control laws and regulations; environmental uncertainties; natural disasters; fire and other property damage; insufficient insurance or increases in insurance costs; inability to successfully expand into new markets or submarkets; risks associated with property development; conflicts of interest with our officers; reliance on key personnel; changes in zoning and other land use laws; adverse changes to tax laws, including those related to property taxes; possible terrorist attacks or wars; and other risks and uncertainties detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2023, and other documents filed with the SEC. Although we believe that our assumptions underlying our FLS are reasonable, they are not guarantees of future performance and some will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, our actual future results can be expected to differ from our expectations, and those differences could be material. Accordingly, please use caution in relying on any FLS in this EP to anticipate future results or trends. This EP and all subsequent written and oral FLS attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our FLS.

  3. Under the GAAP lease accounting rules, we expense non-incremental leasing expenses (leasing expenses not directly related to the signing of a lease) and capitalize incremental leasing expenses. Since non-incremental leasing expenses are included in the calculation of net income attributable to common stockholders and FFO, the capitalized leasing expenses adjustment to AFFO only includes incremental leasing expenses.
  4. Reflects dividends paid within the respective periods.
