Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Report) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act). You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as "approximates," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "would," "could", "may", "future" or other similar expressions in this Report. We claim the protection of the safe harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Report, or those that we may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on our beliefs and assumptions. The actual outcome will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control or ability to predict. Although we believe that our assumptions 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 may be material. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on previously reported forward-looking statements, which were based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include the following:
•
adverse economic or real estate developments in Southern California and Honolulu, Hawaii;
•
a general downturn in the economy, such as the global financial crisis that commenced in 2008;
•
decreased rental rates or increased tenant incentive and vacancy rates;
•
defaults on, early termination of, or non-renewal of leases by tenants;
•
increased interest rates and operating costs;
•
failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness;
•
difficulties in raising capital for our institutional funds;
•
difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions;
•
failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations;
•
failure to maintain our status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) under federal tax laws;
•
possible adverse changes in rent control laws and regulations;
•
environmental uncertainties;
•
risks related to natural disasters;
•
lack or insufficient amount of insurance, or changes to the cost of maintaining existing insurance coverage;
•
inability to successfully expand into new markets and submarkets;
•
risks associated with property development;
•
conflicts of interest with our officers;
•
changes in real estate zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates;
•
the negative results of litigation or governmental proceedings;
•
the consequences of any possible future terrorist attacks; and
•
the consequences of any possible future cyber attacks or intrusions.
For further discussion of the above risk factors, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our
2014
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
This Report and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements 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 forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Overview
Organization and Business Description
Douglas Emmett, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). We are one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. We focus on owning and acquiring a substantial share of top-tier office properties and premier multifamily communities in neighborhoods that possess significant supply constraints, high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities.
Through our interest in Douglas Emmett Properties, LP (our operating partnership) and its subsidiaries, as well as our investment in our institutional unconsolidated real estate funds (Funds), we own or partially own, manage, lease, acquire and develop real estate, consisting primarily of office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. As of
September 30, 2015
, we owned a consolidated portfolio of
fifty-four
office properties (including ancillary retail space) and
ten
multifamily properties, as well as the fee interests in
two
parcels of land subject to ground leases from which we earn ground rent income. Alongside our consolidated portfolio, we also manage and own equity interests in our Funds which, at
September 30, 2015
, owned
eight
additional office properties, for a combined
sixty-two
office properties in our total portfolio.
The terms "us," "we" and "our" as used in these financial statements refer to Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of
September 30, 2015
and
December 31, 2014
, and for the
three and nine
months ended
September 30, 2015
and
2014
, are the consolidated financial statements of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our operating partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements, and to conform to additional line items added in the current period presentation, we have reported more detail for the prior period. During the current reporting period, we reported our proceeds from, and repayments of, borrowings related to our credit facility on a gross basis in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and we have reclassified the comparable period, which was previously reported on a net basis, to conform to the current period presentation. The change in presentation did not change the net cash provided by (used in) financing activities that we previously reported for the comparable period.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (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 financial statements include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
During the period covered by this report, we have not made any material changes to our significant accounting policies included in our
2014
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. 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 tax on the earnings that we derive through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS).
New Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs). We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08,
Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity
(Topics 205 and 360),
which provides guidance for reporting discontinued operations. The amendments in this ASU change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations in Subtopic 205-20,
Presentation of Financial Statements
. The ASU was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning on or after December 15, 2014, which for us was the first quarter of 2015. We adopted the ASU in the first quarter of 2015 and it did not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.
In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-16,
Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments
, which amends
Business Combinations (Topic 805)
. The amendments in this Update require that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. The amendments in this Update require that the acquirer record, in the same period’s financial statements, the effect on earnings of changes in depreciation, amortization, or other income effects, if any, as a result of the change to the provisional amounts, calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. The amendments in this Update require an entity to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in current-period earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustment to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which for us would be the first quarter of 2016, and early adoption is permitted. The amendments in this Update should be applied prospectively to adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after the effective date of this Update with earlier application permitted for financial statements that have not been issued. We do not expect the ASU to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03,
Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30),
which provides guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs. To simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs, the amendments in this Update would require that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt, consistent with the manner in which debt discounts or premiums would be presented. This ASU is the final version of Proposed ASU 2014-250-Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), which has been deleted. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which for us would be the first quarter of 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We plan on early adopting the ASU in our 10-K filing for the year ending December 31, 2015. The ASU requires that the new presentation of debt issuance costs be applied on a retrospective basis. The change in presentation is required to be disclosed as a change in accounting principle. We do not expect the ASU to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

Douglas Emmett, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) (continued)
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, which provides additional guidance regarding the presentation of debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements. The FASB issued this ASU due to the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU No. 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements. The ASU permits the debt issuance costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements to be presented as an asset, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The ASU is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2015, which for us would be the first quarter of 2016, and early adoption is permitted. We plan on early adopting the ASU in our 10-K filing for the year ending December 31, 2015. The ASU requires that the new presentation of debt issuance costs be applied on a retrospective basis. The change in presentation is required to be disclosed as a change in accounting principle. We do not expect the ASU to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures.
In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-14, which defers the effective date of ASU No. 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
by one year. As a result, the ASU is now effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017, which for us is the first quarter of 2018. Earlier application is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim reporting periods within those years, which for us is the first quarter of 2017. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or disclosures, as lease contracts are not within the scope of this ASU.
The FASB has not issued any other ASUs during
2015
that we expect to be applicable and have a material impact on our future financial position, results of operations or disclosures.

8. Derivative Contracts
Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
We make use of interest rate swap and interest rate cap contracts to manage the risk associated with changes in interest rates on our floating-rate debt. When we enter into a floating-rate term loan, we generally enter into an interest rate swap agreement for the equivalent principal amount, for a period covering the majority of the loan term, which effectively converts our floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis during that time. In limited instances, we make use of interest rate caps to limit our exposure to interest rate increases on our floating-rate debt. We do not speculate in derivatives and we do not make use of any other derivative instruments. See Note
6
for the details of our floating-rate debt that we have hedged.
Accounting for Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
When we enter into derivative agreements, we generally elect to have them designated as cash flow hedges for accounting purposes. For hedging instruments designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value of the hedging instrument are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI), which is a component of equity outside of earnings, and any hedge ineffectiveness is recorded as interest expense. Amounts recorded in AOCI related to our designated hedges are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the hedged floating rate debt. Amounts reported in AOCI related to our Funds' hedges are reclassified to income, including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds, as interest payments are made by our Funds on their hedged floating rate debt. For hedging instruments which are not designated as cash flow hedges, changes in fair value of the hedging instrument are recorded as interest expense.
Summary of our derivatives
As of
September 30, 2015
, all of our interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges:

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
We have agreements with each of our interest rate swap counterparties that contain a provision under which we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations if we default on the underlying indebtedness that we are hedging. As of
September 30, 2015
, there have been no events of default with respect to our interest rate swaps or our Fund's interest rate swap. The fair value of our interest rate swaps in a liability position were as follows (in thousands):

Noncontrolling Interests
Our noncontrolling interests consist of (i) interests in our operating partnership that are not owned by us and (ii) a minority partner's one-third interest in a consolidated joint venture which owns an office building in Honolulu, Hawaii. Noncontrolling interests in our operating partnership consist of OP Units and fully-vested Long Term Incentive Plan Units ("LTIP Units") and represented approximately
15%
of our operating partnership's total interests as of
September 30, 2015
when we and our operating partnership had
146.4 million
shares of common stock and
26.3 million
OP Units and LTIP Units outstanding, respectively. A share of our common stock, an OP Unit and an LTIP Unit (once vested and booked up) have essentially the same economic characteristics, sharing equally in the distributions from our operating partnership. Investors who own OP Units have the right to cause our operating partnership to redeem their OP Units for an amount of cash per unit equal to the then current market value of one share of our common stock, or, at our election, exchange their OP Units for shares of our common stock on a
one-for-one b
asis. LTIP Units have been granted to our key employees and non-employee directors as part of their compensation. These awards generally vest over time and once vested can generally be converted to OP Units.

Equity Compensation
The Douglas Emmett, Inc. 2006 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, our stock incentive plan, is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors. All officers, employees, directors and consultants are eligible to participate in our stock incentive plan. For more information on our stock incentive plan, please refer to Note
11
to the consolidated financial statements in our
2014

10. Earnings Per Share (EPS)
We calculate basic EPS by dividing the net 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 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 nonforfeitable rights to dividends as participating securities and include these securities in the computation of EPS using the two-class method. The table below presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS:

11. 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
As of
September 30, 2015
, we did not have any fair value measurements of financial instruments using Level 3 inputs.
Financial instruments disclosed at fair value
Short term financial instruments:
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, tenant receivables, revolving credit lines, interest payable, accounts payable, security deposits and dividends payable approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
Note receivable:
See Note
16
for the details of our note receivable. Based on observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, the fair value of the note receivable approximated its carrying value at
September 30, 2015
.
Secured notes payable
:
See Note
6
for the details of our secured notes payable. We estimate the fair value of our secured notes payable by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of the principal and interest payments for each secured note payable. The calculation incorporates observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, assumes that the loans will be outstanding through maturity, and excludes any maturity extension options. The table below presents (in thousands) the estimated fair value of our secured notes payable:

Derivative instruments:

8
for the details of our derivatives. We present our derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value, on a gross basis, excluding accrued interest. We estimate the fair value of our derivative instruments by calculating the credit-adjusted present value of the expected future cash flows of each derivative. The calculation incorporates the contractual terms of the derivatives, observable market interest rates which we consider to be Level 2 inputs, and credit risk adjustments to reflect the counterparty's as well as our own nonperformance risk. Our derivatives are not subject to master netting arrangements. The table below presents (in thousands) the estimated fair value of our derivatives:

12. Future Minimum Lease Receipts
We lease space to tenants primarily under non-cancelable operating leases that generally contain provisions for a base rent plus reimbursement for certain operating expenses. Operating expense reimbursements are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as tenant recoveries.

14. Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees
Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Excluding ordinary, routine litigation incidental to our business, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Concentration of Risk
We have exposure to credit risk, including with respect to accounts receivable and deferred rents receivable related to our leases. Although we seek to minimize our credit risk from our leases by targeting smaller, more affluent tenants supported by a diverse mix of industries, by performing credit evaluations of prospective tenants and by obtaining security deposits from our tenants, our tenants' ability to honor the terms of their respective leases remains dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors. For the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2015
and
2014
,
no
tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total revenues.
We are also subject us to credit risk from the counterparties on the interest rate swap and interest rate cap contracts we use to manage the risk associated with floating interest rates on our debt. See Note
8
for the details of our interest rate contracts.
We maintain our cash and cash equivalents at high quality financial institutions with investment grade ratings. Interest bearing accounts at each U.S. banking institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to
$250 thousand
.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Conditional asset retirement obligations represent a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within our control. A liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation must be recorded if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Environmental site assessments and investigations have identified
twenty-three
properties in our consolidated portfolio, and
four
properties owned by our Funds, which contain asbestos, and would have to be removed in compliance with applicable environmental regulations if these properties undergo major renovations or are demolished. As of
September 30, 2015
, the obligations to remove the asbestos from these properties have indeterminable settlement dates, and we are unable to reasonably estimate the fair value of the associated conditional asset retirement obligation.
Guarantees
We made certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve outs for a
$325.0 million
loan of one of our Funds. The loan matures on
May 1, 2018
and carries interest that is effectively fixed through an interest rate swap which matures on
May 1, 2017
. We have also guaranteed the related swap. That Fund has agreed to indemnify us for any amounts that we would be required to pay under these agreements. As of
September 30, 2015
, all obligations under the loan and swap agreements have been performed by the Fund in accordance with the terms of those agreements and the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were approximately
$3.1 million
.

15. Segment Reporting
Segment information is prepared on the same basis that we review information for operational decision-making purposes. We operate in
two
business segments: (i) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of office real estate and (ii) the acquisition, development, ownership and management of multifamily real estate. The services for our office segment primarily include rental of office space and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. The services for our multifamily segment include rental of apartments and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental.
Asset information by segment is not reported because we do not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources. Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments. General and administrative expenses and interest expense are not included in segment profit as our internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level.
Segment profit is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP, it is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies may calculate segment profit in the same manner. We consider segment profit to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it can assist both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our properties.
The table below presents (in thousands) the operating activity of our reportable segments:

16. Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Funds
Description of our Funds
We manage and own equity interests in
two
Funds, Fund X and Partnership X, through which we and investors own
eight
office properties totaling
1.8 million
square feet in our core markets. At
September 30, 2015
, we held equity interests of
68.61%
of Fund X and
24.25%
of Partnership X. Our Funds pay us fees and reimburse us for certain expenses related to property management and other services we provide to the Funds. We also receive distributions based on invested capital and on any profits that exceed certain specified cash returns to the investors. The table below presents (in thousands) cash distributions received from our Funds:

Note receivable
Our investment in the Funds includes an unsecured note receivable. In April 2013, we loaned
$2.9 million
to a related party investor in connection with a capital call made by Fund X. The loan carries interest at one month
LIBOR plus 2.5%
per annum, and is due and payable no later than
April 1, 2017
, with mandatory prepayments equal to any distributions with respect the related party's interest in Fund X. The interest recognized on this note is included in other income in our consolidated statements of operations. As of
September 30, 2015
, and
December 31, 2014
, the balance outstanding on the loan was
$0.6 million
and
$1.5 million
, respectively. See Note
11
for our fair value disclosures.

On October 13, 2015, we closed a secured, non-recourse
$400.0 million
, interest only loan. The loan bears interest at LIBOR +
1.35%
, which has been effectively fixed at
2.64%
per annum until November 2020 through an interest rate swap. The new loan is secured by a pool of
seven
of our office properties and matures in November 2022. We used a portion of the proceeds from this loan to pay down
$254.0 million
of our
$510.0 million
loan due in
April 2018

Acquisitions and Dispositions
•
In the
first
quarter of
2015
, we closed on the purchase of a
227,000
square foot Class A multi-tenant office property located in Encino, California for
$92.4 million
, or approximately
$407
per square foot. See Note
3
to our consolidated financial statements in
Item 1
of this Report for more detail regarding our acquisitions.
•
In the
first
quarter of
2015
, we acquired the fee interest in the land under one of our office buildings for the equivalent of
$27.5 million
. In that first quarter, we recognized the remaining
$6.6 million
of accretion of an above-market ground lease under which we had leased the land. See Note
4
to our consolidated financial statements in
Item 1
of this Report for more detail regarding the accretion of the above-market ground lease.
Development and Repositionings
We are developing two multifamily projects, one in Brentwood, Los Angeles, and one in Honolulu, Hawaii. Each development is on land which we already own:
•
We are planning the construction of an additional 500 apartments at our Moanalua Hillside Apartments in Honolulu. We expect construction will take approximately 18 months and cost approximately $120 million. Hawaii offers some incentive programs to encourage the type of workhouse housing that we are going to build, and we are in the process of applying for those program incentives before proceeding further with construction.
•
In Los Angeles, we are seeking to build a high rise apartment project with 376 residential units. Because development in our markets, particularly West Los Angeles, remains a long and uncertain process, we do not expect to break ground in Los Angeles before late 2017, even if the entitlement process is successful. We expect the cost of this development to be approximately $120 million to $140 million.

Table of Contents
We often strategically purchase properties with large vacancies or expected near-term lease roll-over and use our knowledge of the property and submarket to reposition the property for the optimal use and tenant mix. The work we undertake to reposition a building typically takes months or even years, and could involve a range of improvements from a complete structural renovation to a targeted remodeling of selected spaces. We generally select a property for repositioning at the time we purchase it, although repositioning efforts can also occur at properties that we already own. During the repositioning, the affected property may display depressed rental revenue and occupancy levels which impacts our results and, therefore, comparisons of our performance from period to period. We are currently repositioning a
79,000
square foot office property in Honolulu, Hawaii, in which we own a two-thirds interest, as well as a 413,000 square foot office property in Brentwood, Los Angeles, which included 35,000 square foot of retail space on which we expect to develop a 34 story, 376 unit residential high-rise as described above.

Because straight-line rent takes into account the full economic value of each lease, including accommodations and rent escalations, we believe that it may provide a better comparison than ending cash rents, which include the impact of the annual escalations over the entire term of the lease. However, care should be taken in any comparison, as the averages are often significantly affected from period to period by factors such as the buildings, submarkets, types of space and terms involved in the leases executed during the respective reporting period.
(2)
Represents the weighted average straight-line annualized base rent (i.e., excludes tenant reimbursements, parking and other revenue) per leased square foot for leases entered into within our total office portfolio. For our triple net leases, annualized rent is calculated by adding estimated expense reimbursements to base rent.
(3)
Represents the weighted average leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances under each office lease within our total office portfolio that were executed during the respective reporting period, divided by the number of years of that lease.
Straight-line rental rates
During the
third
quarter of
2015
, we experienced positive rent roll up, with our average straight-line rent of
$43.14
under new and renewal leases that we signed during the quarter averaging
26.1%
greater than the average straight-line rent of
$34.20
on the expiring leases for the same space. This improvement reflects both (i) continuing increases in average starting rental rates, (ii) more leases containing annual rent escalations in excess of 3% per annum and (iii) lower rental rates on the expiring leases for the same space. Quarterly fluctuations in submarkets, buildings and term of the expiring leases cause large variations in this number and make predicting the changes in rent in any specific quarter difficult.

Cash rental rates
During the
third
quarter of
2015
, our average starting cash rental rate on new and renewal leases that we signed during the quarter of
$41.00
was
22.6%
greater than the average starting cash rental rate on the expiring leases for the same space of
$33.45
, and
10.2%
greater than the cash rental rate of
$37.20
on the expiring leases for the same space. The improvement in this metric reflects both (i) office rent growth in our submarkets and (ii) our focus during the quarter on increasing rental rates. Quarterly fluctuations in submarkets, buildings and term of the expiring leases cause large variations in these numbers and make predicting the changes in rent in any specific quarter difficult.
The table below presents our expected expiring cash rents in our total office portfolio over the next four quarters:

Scheduled square footage expirations for our total office portfolio, which reflects all existing leases that are scheduled to expire in the respective quarter shown above, excluding the square footage under leases where (i) the existing tenant has renewed the lease on or before
September 30, 2015
, (ii) a new tenant has executed a lease on or before
September 30, 2015
that will commence after
September 30, 2015
, (iii) early termination options that are exercised after
September 30, 2015
, (iv) defaults occurring after
September 30, 2015
, and (v) short term leases, such as month to month leases and other short term leases. Short term leases are excluded because (a) they are not included in our changes in rental rate data, (b) have rental rates that may not be reflective of market conditions, and (c) can distort the data trends, particularly in the first quarter of the fiscal year. The variations in this number from quarter to quarter primarily reflects the mix of buildings/submarkets involved, although it is also impacted by the varying terms and square footage of the individual leases involved.
(2)
Represents annualized base rent (i.e., excludes tenant reimbursements, parking and other revenue) per leased square foot at expiration. The amount reflects total cash base rent before abatements. For our triple net leases, we calculate annualized base rent for triple net leases by adding expense reimbursements to base rent. Expiring rent per square foot on a quarterly basis is impacted by a number of variables, including variations in the submarkets or buildings involved.
Multifamily Rental Rates
With respect to our residential properties
,
average rent on leases to new tenants during the
third
quarter of
2015
was
4.5%
higher
than the rent for the same unit at the time it became vacant. The table below presents the average annual rental rate per leased unit. The rental rates in 2015 include Waena Apartments, which we acquired on December 30, 2014, which accounts for the decline in the overall average.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Consolidated Funds From Operations (FFO)
Usefulness to Investors
Many investors use FFO as one performance yardstick to compare the operating performance of REITs. FFO represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairments of depreciable operating property and investments, real estate depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of deferred financing costs), and after the same adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). Like any metric, FFO has limitations as a measure of our performance, because it excludes depreciation and amortization, and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result 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. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to the FFO of other REITs. 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 cash available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. FFO should not be used as a supplement to or a substitute measure for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
Comparison of Results
FFO for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2015
increased
by
$7.7 million
, or
12.3%
, to
$70.4 million
compared to
$62.7 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in operating income from our office portfolio due to acquisitions, and (ii) an increase in operating income from our multifamily portfolio due to an acquisition and higher rental rates, partially offset by (iii) an increase in interest expense due to higher debt balances and loan costs, and (iv) higher other income for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2014
as a result of the inclusion of insurance recoveries related to fire damage from a fire at one of our residential properties.
FFO for the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2015
increased
by
$14.4 million
, or
7.1%
, to
$217.4 million
compared to
$203.0 million
for the
nine months
ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in operating income from our office portfolio due to acquisitions, and (ii) an increase in operating income from our multifamily portfolio due to an acquisition and higher rental rates, partially offset by (iii) an increase in interest expense due to higher debt balances and loan costs.

Revenues
Office Rental Revenue:
Office rental revenue includes rental revenues from our office properties, percentage rent on the retail space contained within office properties and lease termination income. Office rental revenue
increased
by
$6.0 million
, or
6.1%
, to
$103.4 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2015
, compared to
$97.5 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase was primarily due to rental revenues of $3.6 million from two properties that we acquired, one in the fourth quarter of 2014 and the other in the first quarter of 2015, as well as an increase in rental revenues of $2.4 million for the properties that we owned throughout both periods. The increase in rental revenue from the properties that we owned throughout both periods reflects an increase in both occupancy and rental rates, which was partially offset by a decrease in the accretion from below-market tenant leases and a decrease in lease termination revenue. Accretion from our below-market tenant leases has generally been declining since our initial public offering (IPO).
Office Tenant Recoveries:
Office tenant recoveries
decreased
by
$19 thousand
, or
0.17%
, to
$11.1 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2015
, compared to
$11.1 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2014
. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in tenant recoveries of $286 thousand for the properties that we owned throughout both periods, partially offset by tenant recoveries of $267 thousand from two properties that we acquired. The decrease in tenant recoveries from the properties that we owned throughout both periods was primarily due to lower current period recoveries partially offset by higher prior period reconciliations.
Office Parking and Other Income:
Office parking and other income
increased
by
$2.3 million
, or
11.9%
, to
$21.7 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2015
, compared to
$19.4 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $1.6 million in parking and other income from properties that we owned throughout both periods, as well as parking and other income of $0.7 million from two properties that we acquired. The increase in parking and other income from the properties that we owned throughout both periods primarily reflects increases in rates.
Multifamily Revenue:
Total multifamily revenue consists of rent, parking income and other income. Total multifamily revenue
increased
by
$3.7 million
, or
18.2%
, to
$23.9 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2015
, compared to
$20.2 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase was primarily due to rental revenues of $2.7 million from a property that we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2014, as well as an increase in rental revenues of $0.7 million for the properties that we owned throughout both periods. The increase in rental revenue from the properties that we owned throughout both periods reflects increases in rental rates.
Operating Expenses
Office Rental Expenses
: Office rental expenses
increased
by
$1.6 million

for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2015
, compared to
$47.6 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase was primarily due to rental expenses of $1.7 million from two properties that we acquired, partially offset by a decrease of $0.1 million for the properties that we owned throughout both periods. The decrease in rental expenses from the properties that we owned throughout both periods was primarily due to a decrease in utilities expense and repairs and maintenance.
Multifamily Rental Expenses
: Multifamily rental expense
increased
by
$0.9 million
, or

$6.2 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2015
, compared to
$5.3 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase was primarily due to rental expenses of $0.9 million from a property that we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2014.
General and Administrative Expenses
: General and administrative expenses
increased
by
$0.2 million
, or
3.1%

for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2015
, compared to
$6.7 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase was primarily due to an increase in employee equity compensation.
Depreciation and Amortization
: Depreciation and amortization expense
increased
by
$2.1 million
, or
4.2%
, to
$52.2 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2015
, compared to
$50.1 million
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase was primarily due to depreciation and amortization of $2.8 million from properties that we acquired, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $0.7 million from properties that we owned throughout both periods. The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the properties that we owned throughout both periods reflects depreciation in the prior period of a building in Los Angeles on the site where we plan to build a new apartment building, which was fully depreciated at the end of 2014 when it was taken out of service.

for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase was primarily due to higher cash interest expense as result of higher debt balances, as well as the expense of loan costs incurred in connection with the refinancing of certain debt. See Notes
6
and
8
to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our debt and derivative contracts.
Acquisition-related Expenses:
Acquisition expenses include the costs of acquisitions that we close, as well as those that we do not close. Acquisition expenses were
$153 thousand
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2015
, were essentially the same as the
$152 thousand
for the
three months
ended
September 30, 2014
. See Note

to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our completed acquisitions.
Comparison of
nine
months ended
September 30, 2015
to
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
Revenues
Office Rental Revenue:
Office rental revenue
increased
by
$11.6 million
, or
3.9%
, to
$307.9 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2015
, compared to
$296.3 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase was primarily due to rental revenues of $9.3 million from two properties that we acquired, one in the fourth quarter of 2014 and the other in the first quarter of 2015, as well as an increase in rental revenues of $2.2 million for the properties that we owned throughout both periods. The increase in rental revenue from the properties that we owned throughout both periods reflects an increase in both occupancy and rental rates, which was partially offset by a decrease in the accretion from below-market tenant leases and a decrease in lease termination revenue.
Office Tenant Recoveries:
Office tenant recoveries
decreased
by
$1.0 million
, or
3.1%
, to
$32.7 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2015
, compared to
$33.7 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in tenant recoveries of $1.9 million for the properties that we owned throughout both periods, partially offset by tenant recoveries of $0.8 million from two properties that we acquired. The decrease in tenant recoveries from the properties that we owned throughout both periods was primarily due to lower current period recoveries as well as lower prior period reconciliations.
Office Parking and Other Income:
Office parking and other income
increased
by
$5.4 million
, or
9.2%
, to
$63.9 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2015
, compared to
$58.5 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $3.5 million in parking and other income from properties that we owned during both periods, as well as parking and other income of $1.8 million from two properties that we acquired. The increase in parking and other income from the properties that we owned throughout both periods primarily reflects increases in rates.
Multifamily Revenue:
Total multifamily revenue
increased
by
$11.0 million
, or
18.4%
, to
$70.9 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2015
, compared to
$59.8 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase was primarily due to rental revenues of $8.1 million from a property that we acquired in the fourth quarter of 2014, as well as an increase in rental revenues of $2.2 million for the properties that we owned throughout both periods. The increase in rental revenue from the properties that we owned throughout both periods was primarily due to increases in rental rates.

. The increase was primarily due to depreciation and amortization of $6.7 million from properties that we acquired, partially offset by a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $4.6 million from properties that we owned throughout both periods. The decrease in depreciation and amortization for the properties that we owned throughout both periods reflects depreciation in the prior period of a building in Los Angeles on the site where we plan to build a new apartment building, which was fully depreciated at the end of 2014 when it was taken out of service.

. The increase in other income was primarily due to $6.6 million of accelerated accretion that we recognized related to an above market ground lease for which we acquired the underlying fee interest in the land in the first quarter of 2015, see Note
3
to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding the acquisition of the fee interest. This compared to $5.8 million of insurance recoveries related to repairs of damage from a fire at one of our residential properties that we recognized in other income in the nine months ended September 30, 2014.

for the
nine
months ended

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
We have typically financed our capital needs through lines of credit and long-term secured loans. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in interest rates on our cash flows from operations, some of our long-term secured loans carry fixed interest rates, and we generally enter into interest rate swap agreements with respect to our loans with floating interest rates. These swap agreements generally expire between one to two years before the maturity date of the related loan, during which time we can refinance the loan without any interest penalty. See Notes
6
and
8
to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our debt and derivative contracts.
At
September 30, 2015
, we had total indebtedness of
$3.47 billion
, with a weighted average remaining life of
4.0 years
(including extension options). At
September 30, 2015
,
$3.19 billion
, or
92%
, of our debt, had an interest rate that was effectively fixed under the terms of the loan or a swap, with (i) a weighted average remaining life of
4.2 years
, (ii) a weighted average remaining period during which the interest rate was fixed of
2.4 years
, (iii) a weighted average annual rate of
3.80%
(on an actual/360-day basis) and (iv) including non-cash amortization of deferred loan costs, a weighted average annual rate of
3.92%
.
At
September 30, 2015
, our net consolidated debt, which consists of our
$3.47 billion
of borrowings under secured loans less our cash and cash equivalents of
$9.9 million
, represented
40%
of our total enterprise value of
$8.57 billion
. Our total enterprise value includes our consolidated debt and the value of our common stock, the noncontrolling units in our operating partnership and other convertible equity instruments, each based on our common stock closing price on
September 30, 2015
(the last business day of the quarter) on the New York Stock Exchange of
$28.72
per share.
Activity for
nine
months ended
September 30, 2015
For a description of our financing activities during the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2015
, please see "Financings, Acquisitions, Dispositions, Developments and Repositionings" above.
Short term liquidity
Excluding any other potential acquisitions and debt refinancings, we expect to meet our short term operating liquidity requirements through cash on hand, cash generated by operations and, if necessary, our revolving credit facility. At
September 30, 2015
, there was no balance outstanding on our revolving credit facility, leaving us with
$400.0 million
of availability. See Note
6
to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our revolving credit facility and our debt that is scheduled to mature in
2015
.
At
September 30, 2015
, we are developing two multifamily projects, one in Brentwood, Los Angeles, and one in Honolulu, Hawaii, please see "Financings, Acquisitions, Dispositions, Developments and Repositionings" above. We intend to finance the costs of these development projects through cash on hand, cash generated by operations, and as necessary, our revolving credit facility.
Long term liquidity
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, development and repositioning of properties, non-recurring capital expenditures and refinancing of indebtedness. We do not expect that we will have sufficient funds on hand to cover all of these long-term cash requirements. The nature of our business, and the requirements imposed by REIT rules that we distribute a substantial majority of our income on an annual basis, may cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over the long term. We will seek to satisfy our additional long-term liquidity needs through long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of debt and equity securities, including OP Units, property dispositions and joint venture transactions. We have an At-the-Market program which would allow us to sell up to an additional $400.0 million of common stock, none of which had been sold as of
September 30, 2015
.
Commitments and other future expected transactions
At
September 30, 2015
, we did not have any commitments for acquisitions and we did not have any debt scheduled to mature in 2015 other than a
$20.0 million
term loan due in
December 2015
. For a description of our financing activities during the
nine
months ended

Cash Flows
Comparison of
nine
months ended
September 30, 2015
to
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
Cash flows from operating activities
Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the rental rates achieved on our leases, the collectability of rent and recoveries from our tenants and the level of operating expenses and other general and administrative costs. Net cash
provided by
operating activities
increased
by
$10.9 million
to
$205.7 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2015
compared to
$194.7 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase was primarily due to an increase in operating income from our office portfolio due to acquisitions and an increase in operating income from our multifamily portfolio due to an acquisition and higher rental rates, partially offset by an increase in cash interest expense due to higher debt balances.
Cash flows from investing activities
Our net cash
used in
investing activities is generally used to fund property acquisitions, developments and redevelopment projects, and recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. Net cash
used in
investing activities
increased
by
$54.6 million
to
$137.7 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2015
compared to
$83.1 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
. The increase primarily reflects the expenditure of
$89.9 million
for the acquisition of First Financial Plaza in the first quarter of
2015
, while the significant investment activity for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
included a loan that we advanced in the first quarter of
2014
for
$27.5 million
. See Notes
3
and
5
to our consolidated financial statements in
Item 1
of this Report for more detail regarding our acquisition of First Financial Plaza and the loan that we advanced.
Cash flows from financing activities
Our net cash related to financing activities is generally impacted by our borrowings and capital activities, net of dividends and distributions paid to common stockholders and noncontrolling interests, respectively. Net cash
used in
financing activities
decreased
by
$66.5 million
to
$76.8 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2015
, compared to
$143.4 million
for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
. The decrease primarily reflects net borrowings of $38.8 million for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2015
compared to net repayment of borrowings of $30.9 million for the
nine
months ended
September 30, 2014
.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Description of our Funds
We manage and own equity interests in
two
Funds, Fund X and Partnership X, through which we and investors own
eight
office properties totaling
1.8 million
square feet in our core markets. At
September 30, 2015
, we held equity interests of
68.61%
of Fund X and
24.25%
of Partnership X. Our Funds pay us fees and reimburse us for certain expenses related to property management and other services we provide to the Funds. We also receive distributions based on invested capital and on any profits that exceed certain specified cash returns to the investors. See Note
16
to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our Funds.
Debt of our Funds
We do not have any debt outstanding in connection with our interest in our Funds, however each of our Funds has their own debt secured by the properties that they own. The table below summarizes the debt of our Funds as of
September 30, 2015

(1)
Fixed rate loan to one of our Funds. The loan is secured by one property and requires monthly payments of principal and interest. At
September 30, 2015
, we held an equity interest of
24.25%
in that Fund.
(2)
Floating rate loan to one of our Funds. The loan is secured by six properties in a collateralized pool, and requires monthly payments of interest only, with the outstanding principal due upon maturity. At
September 30, 2015
, we held an equity interest of
68.61%
in the Fund. The interest on this loan is effectively fixed by an interest rate swap which matures on
May 1, 2017
. We made certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve outs under this loan, and also guaranteed the related swap, although we have an indemnity from that Fund for any amounts that we would be required to pay under these agreements. As of
September 30, 2015
, the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were approximately
$3.1 million
. As of
September 30, 2015
, all of the obligations under the loan and swap agreements have been performed by the Fund in accordance with the terms of those agreements.
Critical Accounting Policies
In our
2014
Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified certain critical accounting policies that affect certain of our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. We have not made any material changes to our critical accounting policies during the period covered by this Report.
Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates of certain items and judgments as to certain future events (for example with respect to the allocation of the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings and improvements, tenant improvements and lease intangibles, and above and below market tenant leases). These determinations, which are inherently subjective and subject to change, affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. While we believe that our estimates are based upon reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time that they are made, some of our assumptions, estimates and judgments, will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, actual outcomes will likely differ from our estimates, and those differences—positive or negative—could be material. Some of our estimates are subject to adjustment as we believe appropriate, based on revised estimates, and reconciliation to actual results when available. For a discussion of recently issued accounting literature, see Note
2
to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.

there were no material changes to the information regarding Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk included in Item 7A in our
2014
Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
As of
September 30, 2015
, the end of the period covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Financial Officer (CFO), regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) at the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on the foregoing, our CEO and CFO concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our CEO and our CFO, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended
September 30, 2015
, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
