EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended
March 31, 2018
of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” or “our Company” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “our operating partnership” or “the operating partnership” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the sole general partner of our operating partnership. As of
March 31, 2018
, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. owned approximately
99.6%
of the outstanding common units of partnership interest (including unvested restricted units) in our operating partnership, or common units. The remaining approximately
0.4%
of outstanding common units at
March 31, 2018
were owned by certain of our
executive officers and directors, certain of their affiliates and other outside investors
. As the sole general partner of our operating partnership, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for our operating partnership’s day-to-day management and control.
We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and the operating partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:
•
enhancing investors’ understanding of our Company and our operating partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
•
eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation because a substantial portion of the disclosures apply to both our Company and our operating partnership; and
•
creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
There are a few differences between our Company and our operating partnership, which are reflected in the disclosures in this report. We believe it is important to understand the differences between our Company and our operating partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is a REIT, the only material assets of which are the units of partnership interest in our operating partnership. As a result, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of our operating partnership, issuing equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of our operating partnership. Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. itself does not issue any indebtedness but guarantees some of the debt of our operating partnership. Our operating partnership, which is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity, holds substantially all of the assets of our Company and conducts substantially all of our business. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc., which are generally contributed to our operating partnership in exchange for units of partnership interest in our operating partnership, our operating partnership generates the capital required by our Company’s business through its operations, its incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of units of partnership interest in our operating partnership.
Non-controlling interest, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of our Company and those of our operating partnership. The common units in our operating partnership are accounted for as partners’ capital in our operating partnership’s consolidated financial statements and, to the extent not held by our Company, as a non-controlling interest in our Company’s consolidated financial statements. The differences between stockholders’ equity, partners’ capital and non-controlling interest result from the differences in the equity issued by our Company and our operating partnership.
To help investors understand the significant differences between our Company and our operating partnership, this report presents the consolidated financial statements and Note 15, earnings per share, separately for our Company and our operating partnership. All other sections of this report, including “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” are presented together for our Company and our operating partnership.
In order to establish that the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer of each entity have made the requisite certifications and that our Company and our operating partnership are compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act and 18 U.S.C. §1350, this report also includes separate Part I, Item 4 “Controls and
2
Table of Contents
Procedures” sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for each of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and our operating partnership.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage, share and unit data)
1. Organization
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on November 9, 2009 as a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Through its controlling interest in the operating partnership and its subsidiaries, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. owns, manages, leases, acquires and develops real estate, consisting primarily of office and studio properties. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in these financial statements to “the Company” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to “our operating partnership” or “the operating partnership” refer to Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
On April 1, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of the EOP Northern California Portfolio (“EOP Acquisition”) from Blackstone Real Estate Partners V and VI (“Blackstone”). The EOP Acquisition consisted of
26
high-quality office assets totaling approximately
8.2 million
square feet and
two
development parcels located throughout Northern California. The total consideration paid for the EOP Acquisition before certain credits, prorations and closing costs included a cash payment of
$1.75 billion
and an aggregate of
63,474,791
shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and common units in the operating partnership.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and the operating partnership are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) applicable to interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. Accordingly, the interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal and recurring nature that are considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.
The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended
December 31, 2018
. The interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P. and the notes thereto.
Principles of Consolidation
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company, the operating partnership and all wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the operating partnership include the accounts of the operating partnership and all wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share/unit data)
Under the consolidation guidance, the Company first evaluates an entity using the variable interest model, then the voting model. The Company ultimately consolidates all entities that the Company controls through either majority ownership or voting rights, including all variable interest entities (“VIEs”) of which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The Company accounts for all other unconsolidated joint ventures using the cost or equity method of accounting. In addition, the Company continually evaluates each legal entity that is not wholly owned for reconsideration based on changing circumstances.
VIEs are defined as entities in which equity investors do not have:
•
the characteristics of a controlling financial interest;
•
sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties; and/or
•
the entity is structured with non-substantive voting rights.
The entity that consolidates a VIE is known as its primary beneficiary and is generally the entity with both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and the right to receive benefits from the VIE or the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. As of
March 31, 2018
, the Company has determined that
four
joint ventures and our operating partnership met the definition of a VIE.
Three
of the joint ventures are consolidated entities and
one
joint venture is a non-consolidated entity.
Consolidated Entities
As of
March 31, 2018
, the operating partnership has determined that
three
of its joint ventures met the definition of a VIE and are consolidated:

_________________
(1)
As of March 31, 2018, this joint venture was formed but no significant contributions of cash or property have been made by the partners.
On March 1, 2018, the Company entered into a joint venture agreement with Macerich WSP, LLC (“Macerich”) to form HPP-MAC WSP, LLC (“HPP-MAC JV”) to redevelop Westside Pavilion, a shopping mall in West Los Angeles, into approximately
500,000
square feet of state-of-the-art creative office space, with approximately
100,000
square feet of existing retail and entertainment space. The HPP-MAC JV is held
75%
by the Company and
25%
by Macerich, with the Company serving as the managing member and developer. As of
March 31, 2018
, the assets held by the HPP-MAC JV include pre-development costs and the initial contributions from the members. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, it is anticipated that the Company and Macerich will enter into a contribution agreement within a year to contribute Westside Pavilion to the joint venture. The contribution is valued at approximately
$190.0 million
before certain credits, prorations, closing costs and debt assumption. Total costs of the HPP-MAC JV will be funded
75%
by the Company and
25%
by Macerich. If either party defaults on its obligation to contribute to the joint venture, the defaulting party is required to pay a
$25.0 million
fee to the other member. The joint venture agreement lacks substantive participating or kick-out rights and is therefore a VIE. The Company, through its subsidiaries, has the right to (i) receive benefits and absorb losses and (ii) has the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the joint venture.
As of
March 31, 2018
, the Company has determined that its operating partnership met the definition of a VIE and is consolidated. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company are related to VIEs.
Non-consolidated Entities
On June 16, 2016, the Company entered into a joint venture to co-originate a loan secured by land in Santa Clara, California. The assets of the joint venture consist of notes receivable. As of
March 31, 2018
, the Company has determined it is not the primary beneficiary of the joint venture that meets the definition of a VIE. Due to its significant influence over the non-
16
Table of Contents
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share/unit data)
consolidated entity, the Company accounts for it using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the Company initially records the investment at cost and subsequently adjusts for equity in earnings or losses and cash contributions and distributions. The Company’s net equity investment is reflected within prepaid expenses and other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets which represents the Company’s maximum exposure for loss. The Company’s share of net income or loss from the entity is included within
other income
on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company owns
21%
of the non-consolidated entity.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to acquiring, developing and assessing the carrying values of its real estate properties, its accrued liabilities and its performance-based equity compensation awards. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience, current market conditions and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(“ASC 606”), on January 1, 2019, when the Company adopts ASC 842. Under the current ASC 842 guidance, the Company would be required to classify its tenant recoveries into lease and non-lease components. On March 28, 2018, the FASB agreed to issue an amendment to ASC 842, which if elected, permits the Company to classify tenant recoveries as a single lease component and accounted for with rental revenues in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Please refer to our Update on ASC 842 implementation section below for details.
Ancillary revenues and guest parking revenues have been accounted for under ASC 606 since the Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. This standard requires the Company to recognize revenues based on a five-step model and will result in the consideration being recognized once all performance obligations are satisfied. The timing and pattern of revenue recognition as it relates to ancillary revenues and guest parking revenues have not changed from those under ASC 605.
Sale of real estate has been accounted for under ASC 610,
Other Income
, since the Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018. This standard requires the Company to apply certain recognition and measurement principles in ASC 606 when it derecognizes nonfinancial assets and in substance nonfinancial assets, and the counterparty is not a customer. This is the case for the Company's sales of real estate, and therefore, the Company is required to evaluate the sales of real estate based on transfer of control. If a real estate sale contract includes ongoing involvement by the seller with the sold property, the seller must evaluate each promised good or service under the contract to determine whether it represents a performance obligation, constitutes a guarantee or prevents the transfer of control. The timing and pattern of revenue recognition might change as it relates to gains of sale of real estate if the sale includes continued involvement that represents a separate performance obligation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) in the form of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”). The following ASUs were adopted by the Company in 2018:
Standard
Description
Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2018-04, Investments—Debt Securities (Topic 320) and Regulated Operations (Topic 980): Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 117 and SEC Release No. 33-9273 (SEC Update)
ASU 2018-03, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
ASU 2016-01, Financial Instruments— Overall (Subtopic 825-10), Recognition and
Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
The guidance no longer allows the use of cost method of accounting for equity instruments that do not have a readily determinable fair value and Companies are now required to measure equity investments at fair value through net income. Companies are permitted to elect a measurement alternative that allows for measuring equity instruments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes, adjusted as of the date that an observable transaction takes place, rather than report date. For equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, this guidance is adopted prospectively for all investments that exist as of the date of adoption. The guidance allows entities to use a prospective transition approach only for securities they elect to measure using the measurement alternative.
The Company adopted this guidance during Q1 2018 using the prospective approach. The Company has elected to measure our equity instruments using the measurement alternative. Please see Note 12 for details.
ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities
The guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. Therefore, a cumulative effect adjustment related to elimination of ineffectiveness measurement is required to be recorded to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption for cash flow hedge. The guidance also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. This guidance must be applied using a modified retrospective approach.
The Company adopted this guidance during Q1 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. As a result of the adoption, the concept of ineffectiveness from an accounting perspective is eliminated. Subsequent changes in fair value for a hedging instrument that has been designated and qualifies as a cash flow hedge will be recognized as a component in other comprehensive income. Additionally, the Company eliminated any previously recorded ineffectiveness with a cumulative effect adjustment. Please see Note 9 for details.
ASU 2017-09, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting
The guidance clarifies when changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award must be accounted for as modifications. This guidance must be applied prospectively.
The Company adopted this guidance during Q1 2018 on a prospective basis. The adoption did not have an impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2017-05, Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets
The guidance updates the definition of an in substance nonfinancial asset and clarifies the scope of ASC 610-20 on the sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets to noncustomers, including partial sales. It also clarifies the derecognition guidance for nonfinancial assets to conform with the new revenue recognition standard. Either a full or modified retrospective approach can be applied.
The Company adopted this guidance during Q1 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The Company has not had variable consideration in our sale of real estate, or partial sales of nonfinancial assets or contribution of a nonfinancial asset to form a joint venture with retained noncontrolling interest, therefore the guidance does not currently impact the Company.
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers amended by ASU 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers—Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)
Issued on May 28, 2014, ASU 2014-09 outlines a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenues arising from contracts with customers and specifically notes that lease contracts with customers are a scope exception. Issued on March 17, 2016, ASU 2016-08 clarifies certain aspects of the principal-versus-agent guidance in its new revenue recognition standard related to the determination of whether an entity is a principal-versus-agent and the determination of the nature of each specified good or service. The guidance provides for practical expedients associated with the determination of whether a significant financing component exists and the expedient for recording an immediate expense for certain incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer.
The Company adopted this guidance during Q1 2018 using the modified retrospective approach and is using the practical expedients associated with expensing incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer with terms of one year or less. The adoption of this ASU did not result in any changes with respect to the timing and pattern of revenue recognition. Please refer to the revenue recognition paragraph above for the additional disclosures.
Update on ASC 842 implementation
On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02,
Leases
, to amend the accounting guidance for leases and set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a lease agreement (i.e., lessees and lessors). This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods) beginning after December 15, 2018. A modified retrospective approach must be applied for leases that exist or are entered into after January 1, 2017, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the 2019 consolidated financial statements, with a cumulative adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (accumulated deficit) on January 1, 2017, and restatement of the amounts presented prior to January 1, 2019.
On March 28, 2018, the FASB agreed to issue an amendment to ASU 842 that would provide an entity the optional transition method to initially account for the impact of the adoption with a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit) on the effective date of the ASU, January 1, 2019, rather than January 1, 2017, which would eliminate the need to restate amounts presented prior to January 1, 2019.
This guidance requires all lessees to record a lease liability at lease inception, with a corresponding right-of-use asset, except for short-term leases. Lessor accounting will not be fundamentally changed.
ASC 842 provides practical expedients that allow entities to not (i) reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are considered or contain leases; (ii) reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases.
The Company plans to adopt the standard on January 1, 2019 and expects to elect the use of practical expedients. If the proposed amendment to ASU 842 is adopted, the Company would elect the transition method for adoption as described above.
Lessor Accounting
The Company recognized rental revenues and tenant recoveries of
$161.7 million
and
$158.3 million
for the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
and
March 31, 2017
. This ASU requires companies to identify lease and non-lease components
20
Table of Contents

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

of a lease agreement. Lease components relate to the right to use the leased asset and non-lease components relate to payments for goods or services that are transferred separately from the right to use the underlying asset. Total lease consideration is allocated to lease and non-lease components on a relative standalone basis. The recognition of revenues related to lease components will be governed by ASC 842 while revenue related to non-lease components will be subject to ASC 606.
Under current accounting standards, the Company recognizes rental revenue from tenants on a straight-line basis over the lease term when collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant has taken possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Tenant recoveries related to reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance, repairs and maintenance and other operating expenses are recognized as revenue in the period during which the applicable expenses are incurred. The reimbursements are recognized and presented gross, as the Company is generally the primary obligor with respect to purchasing goods and services from third-party suppliers, have discretion in selecting the supplier and bear the associated credit risk.
In the March 28, 2018 FASB meeting, the FASB agreed to issue an amendment to ASC 842 which would allow lessors to elect, as a practical expedient, not to allocate the total consideration to lease and non-lease components based on their relative standalone selling prices. Once the amendment is adopted, this practical expedient will allow lessors to elect a combined single lease component presentation if (i) the timing and pattern of the transfer of the combined single lease component is the same, and (ii) the related lease component and, the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease.
The Company has not completed its analysis of this ASU. Once the amendments discussed during the March 28, 2018 FASB meeting are issued, adopted and elected, tenant recoveries that qualify as non-lease components will be combined under a single lease component presentation.
The ASU also requires lessors to capitalize only those costs that are defined as initial direct costs. Under the current accounting standards, the Company capitalizes initial direct and indirect leasing costs. During the
three months ended
March 31, 2018
and
March 31, 2017
, the Company capitalized
$1.8 million
and
$1.4 million
of indirect leasing costs, respectively. Under this new ASU, these costs will be expensed as incurred.
Lessee Accounting
As of
March 31, 2018
, the future undiscounted minimum lease payments under the Company’s ground leases totaled
$449.3 million
. This guidance requires lessees to record a lease liability at lease inception, with a corresponding right-of-use asset, except for short-term leases. The Company continues to evaluate the amount of right-of-use asset and lease liability that will ultimately be recorded with respect to its ground lease agreements, where it is the lessee.
Other recently issued ASUs
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. The following table lists the recently issued ASUs that have not been disclosed in the Company
’s 2017
Annual Report on Form 10-K and have not been adopted by the Company. The list excludes those ASUs that are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
Standard
Description
Effective Date
Effect on the Financial Statements or Other Significant Matters
ASU 2018-01, Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842
The amendments in this update permit an entity to elect an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 land easements that exist or expired before the entity’s adoption of Topic 842 and that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. An entity that elects this practical expedient should apply the practical expedient consistently to all of its existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under Topic 840. Once an entity adopts Topic 842, it should apply that Topic prospectively to all new (or modified) land easements to determine whether the arrangement should be accounted for as a lease.
The effective date and transition requirements are the same as that in Update 2016-02 (Effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years.)
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this update.

Acquisitions
The Company’s acquisitions are accounted for using the acquisition method. The results of operations for each of these acquisitions are included in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations from the date of acquisition.
The Company evaluates each acquisition to determine if the integrated set of assets and activities acquired meet the definition of a business and need to be accounted for as a business combination in accordance with ASC 805,
Business Combinations
. An integrated set of assets and activities would fail to qualify as a business if either (i) substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in either a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets or (ii) the integrated set of assets and activities is lacking, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create outputs (i.e., revenue generated before and after the transaction). An acquired process is considered substantive if (i) the process includes an organized workforce (or includes an acquired contract that provides access to an organized workforce) that is skilled, knowledgeable and experienced in performing the process, (ii) the process cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort, or delay or (iii) the process is considered unique or scarce.
The Company assesses fair value based on Level 2 and Level 3 inputs within the fair value framework, which includes estimated cash flow projections that utilize appropriate discount, capitalization rates, renewal probability and available market information, which includes market rental rate and market rent growth rates. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors, including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends and market and economic conditions.
The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The fair value of acquired “above- and below-” market leases are based on the estimated cash flow projections utilizing discount rates that reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired. The amount recorded is based on the present value of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for each in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the extended below-market term for any leases with below-market renewal options. Other intangible assets acquired include amounts for in-place lease values that are based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease. Factors considered include estimates of carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. In estimating carrying costs, the Company includes estimates of lost rents at market rates during the hypothetical expected lease-up periods, which are dependent on local market conditions. In estimating costs to execute similar leases, the Company considers leasing commissions, legal and other related costs.

On March 13, 2018, the operating partnership entered into the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as defined below) with various financial institutions. The Amended and Restated Credit Agreement modifies the operating partnership’s unsecured revolving credit facility and its term loans as discussed under the Term Loan and Credit Facility section below.
Indebtedness
The Company presents its financial statements on a consolidated basis. Notwithstanding such presentation, except to the extent expressly indicated, such as in the case of the project financing for Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios, the Company’s separate property-owning subsidiaries are not obligors of the debt of their respective affiliates and each property-owning subsidiary’s separate liabilities do not constitute obligations of its respective affiliates.
Loan agreements include events of default that the Company believes are usual for loan and transactions of this type. As of the date of this filing, there have been no events of default associated with the Company’s loans.

Repayment Guarantees
Registered Senior Notes
The Company has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the operating partnership’s
$400.0 million
registered senior notes due November 1, 2027.
Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios Loan
In connection with the loan secured by the Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios properties, the Company has guaranteed in favor of and promised to pay to the lender
19.5%
of the principal payable under the loan in the event the borrower, a wholly-owned entity of the operating partnership, does not do so. As of
March 31, 2018
, the outstanding balance was
$5.0 million
, which results in a maximum guarantee amount for the principal under this loan of
$1.0 million
. The Company has the ability to draw up to
$257.0 million
under its construction loan, subject to lender required submissions. Furthermore, the Company agreed to guarantee the completion of the construction improvements, including tenant improvements, as defined in the agreement, in the event of any default of the borrower. If the borrower fails to complete the remaining required work, the guarantor agrees to perform timely all of the completion obligations, as defined in the agreement. As of the date of this filing, there has been no event of default associated with this loan.
Other Loans
Although the rest of the operating partnership’s loans are secured and non-recourse, the operating partnership provides limited customary secured debt guarantees for items such as voluntary bankruptcy, fraud, misapplication of payments and environmental liabilities.

On January 1, 2018, the Company early adopted ASU 2017-12,
Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities
(“ASU 2017-12”). As a result of the adoption, the Company is no longer recognizing unrealized gains or losses related to ineffective portions of its derivative instruments. The Company recognized a
$231 thousand
cumulative-effect adjustment to other comprehensive income, with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (accumulated deficit). For the
three months ended
March 31, 2017
, the Company recognized an unrealized gain of
$6 thousand
, reflected in the unrealized gain on ineffective portion of derivative instruments line item on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The fair market value of derivative instruments is presented on a gross basis in prepaid and other expenses, net and derivative liabilities line items on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The derivative assets as of
March 31, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
were
$21.9 million
and
$12.6 million
, respectively. The derivative liabilities as of
March 31, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
were
$0.0 million
and
$0.3 million
, respectively.
The Company reclassifies into earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. As of
March 31, 2018
, the Company expects
$4.6 million
of unrealized gain included in accumulated other comprehensive income will be reclassified to interest expense in the next 12 months.
10. Income Taxes
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“the Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2010. Provided it continues to qualify for taxation as a REIT, Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. is generally not subject to corporate level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders. The Company has elected, together with
one
of its subsidiaries, to treat such subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes.
The Company’s property-owning subsidiaries are limited liability companies and treated as pass-through entities or disregarded entities (or, in the case of the entities that own the 1455 Market and Hill7 properties, REITs) for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the activities of these entities.
The Company periodically evaluates its tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of
March 31, 2018
, the Company has not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.
The Company and its TRS file income tax returns with the U.S. federal government and various state and local jurisdictions. The Company and its TRS are no longer subject to tax examinations by tax authorities for years prior to 2013. The Company has assessed its tax positions for all open years, which include 2013 to 2017, and concluded that there are no material uncertainties to be recognized.

.
(2)
Balance includes future minimum ground lease obligation for 9300 Wilshire, which was sold on April 10, 2018.
12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The GAAP fair value framework uses a three-tiered approach. Fair value measurements are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
•
Level 1: unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical assets or liabilities;
•
Level 2: quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
•
Level 3: prices or valuation techniques where little or no market data is available that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
In September 2016, the Company entered into an agreement to receive shares of a nonpublic company in lieu of rental and tenant recovery revenues that were valued at
$1.8 million
. The shares were accounted for under the cost method of accounting as there was no readily determinable fair value. The investment in the shares has been accounted for under ASC 825-10,
Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities
, since the Company adopted ASU 2016-01 on January 1, 2018, at which point the Company elected the measurement alternative. This standard requires the Company to mark the investment in shares to fair value, which are based on recent transactions. There have been no other transactions since the Company obtained its shares in 2016 and therefore there have been no adjustments to the carrying value.

Other Financial Instruments
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of fair value, using Level 1 inputs, because of the short-term nature of these instruments. Fair values for notes payable are estimates based on rates currently prevailing for similar instruments of similar maturities using Level 2 inputs.

13. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has various stock compensation arrangements, which are more fully described in the
2017
Annual Report on Form 10-K. Under the 2010 Incentive Plan, as amended (“the 2010 Plan”), the Company’s board of directors (“the Board”) has the ability to grant, among other things, restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance-based awards.
The Board awards restricted shares to non-employee Board members on an annual basis as part of such Board members’ annual compensation and to newly elected non-employee Board members in accordance with the Non-Employee Director Compensation Program. The time-based awards are generally issued in the second quarter, in conjunction with the director’s election to the Board, and the individual share awards vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which is
three
years.
The Board awards time-based restricted shares to employees on an annual basis as part of the employees’ annual compensation. The time-based awards are generally issued in the fourth quarter and the individual share awards vest in equal annual installments over the applicable service vesting period, which is generally
three
years. Additionally, certain restricted share awards are subject to a mandatory holding period upon vesting if the grantee is a named executive officer.
In December 2015, the compensation committee of the Board (“Compensation Committee”) awarded a one-time special retention award to certain executives. The grants consist of time-based awards and performance-based awards. The time-based awards vest in equal
25%
installments over a
four
-year period, subject to the participant’s continued employment. The performance-based awards vest over a
four
-year period, subject to the achievement of applicable performance goals and the participant’s continued employment.
The Compensation Committee annually adopts a Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. Outperformance Program (“OPP Plan”) under the 2010 Plan. An award under the OPP Plan is ultimately earned to the extent the Company outperforms a predetermined total shareholder return (“TSR”) goal and/or achieves goals with respect to the outperformance of its peers in a particular REIT index. The ultimate aggregate award cannot exceed the predetermined maximum bonus pool. OPP Plan awards granted are settled in common stock and in the case of certain executives, in performance units in our operating partnership.

Table of Contents
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and Hudson Pacific Properties, L.P.
Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)
(Unaudited, tabular amounts in thousands, except square footage and share/unit data)
With respect to OPP Plan awards granted prior to 2017, to the extent an award is earned following the completion of a
three
-year performance period,
50%
of the earned award will vest in full at the end of the
three
-year performance period and
25%
of the earned award will vest in equal annual installments over the
two
years thereafter, subject to the participant’s continued employment. Commencing with the 2017 OPP Plan, the
two
-year post-performance vesting period was replaced with a
two
-year mandatory holding period upon vesting. In February 2018, the Compensation Committee adopted the 2018 OPP Plan. The 2018 OPP Plan is substantially similar to the 2017 OPP Plans except for (i) the performance period beginning on January 1, 2018 and ending on December 31, 2020, (ii) the maximum bonus pool is
$25.0 million
, (iii) the relative comparison index is the SNL US Office REIT index, (iv) the absolute TSR hurdle will be
21%
(or
7%
per annum) and (v) adjusted the sliding scale low return factor so that relative TSR pool can only be reduced by
75%
under this feature.
The per unit fair value of the 2018 OPP award granted was estimated on the date of grant using the following assumptions in the Monte Carlo valuation:
Assumption
Expected price volatility for the Company
20.00%
Expected price volatility for the particular REIT index

14. Earnings Per Share
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc.
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. calculates basic earnings per share by dividing the net income available to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. calculates diluted earnings per share by dividing the diluted net income available 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 or the if-converted method, whichever is more dilutive. Unvested time-based RSUs and unvested OPP awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method.

Common units in the operating partnership
Common units of the operating partnership and shares of common stock of the Company have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of the operating partnership. Investors who own common units have the right to cause the operating partnership to repurchase any or all of their common units for cash equal to the then-current market value of one share of common stock or, at the Company’s election, issue shares of the Company’s common stock in exchange for common units on a one-for-one basis.

Performance units are partnership interests in the operating partnership. Each performance unit awarded will be deemed equivalent to an award of one share of common stock under the 2010 Plan, reducing the availability for other equity awards on a one-for-one basis. Under the terms of the performance units, the operating partnership will revalue its assets for tax purposes upon the occurrence of certain specified events and any increase in valuation from the time of grant until such event will be allocated first to the holders of performance units to equalize the capital accounts of such holders with the capital accounts of common unitholders. Subject to any agreed upon exceptions, once vested and having achieved parity with common unitholders, performance units are convertible into common units in the operating partnership on a
one
-for-one basis.

Agreement Related to EOP Acquisition
On April 1, 2015, the Company completed the EOP Acquisition from certain affiliates of Blackstone, which consisted of
26
high-quality office assets totaling approximately
8.2 million
square feet and
two
development parcels located throughout the Northern California region. The total consideration paid for the EOP Acquisition before certain credits, prorations and closing costs, included a cash payment of
$1.75 billion
and an aggregate of
63,474,791
shares of common stock of Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. and common units in the operating partnership. In connection with the EOP Acquisition, the Company, the operating partnership and Blackstone entered into a stockholders agreement, which conferred Blackstone certain rights, including the right to nominate up to
three
of the Company’s directors. Additionally, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement with Blackstone providing for customary registration rights with respect to the equity consideration paid in the EOP Acquisition.

18,673,808
shares of common stock, consisting of

shares offered by the selling stockholders. The offering generated net proceeds for the Company and the selling stockholders of approximately
$310.9 million
and
$342.7 million
, respectively, before expenses. The Company used the net proceeds that it received from the offering to redeem
8,881,575

18. Cash Flow Reconciliation

Pursuant to the adoption of ASU 2016-18, the Company included restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, which resulted in a decrease of

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain written and oral statements made or incorporated by reference from time to time by us or our representatives in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, other filings or reports filed with the SEC, press releases, conferences, or otherwise, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (set forth in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, as amended, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act). In particular, statements relating to our liquidity and capital resources, portfolio performance and results of operations contain forward-looking statements. Furthermore, all of the statements regarding future financial performance (including anticipated funds from operations, or FFO, market conditions and demographics) are forward-looking statements. We are including this cautionary statement to make applicable and take advantage of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 for any such forward-looking statements. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, or that management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on management’s beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “estimate,” “project,” “should,” “will,” “result” and similar expressions that do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions and may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated or projected. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which were based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends. Additional information concerning these and other risks and uncertainties is contained in our other periodic filings with the SEC.
Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, liquidity or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
•
adverse economic or real estate developments in our target markets;
•
general economic conditions;
•
defaults on, early terminations of or non-renewal of leases by tenants;
•
fluctuations in interest rates and increased operating costs;
•
our failure to obtain necessary outside financing or maintain an investment grade rating;
•
our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness and maintain dividend payments;
•
lack or insufficient amounts of insurance;
•
decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;
•
difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions;
•
our failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations;
•
our failure to maintain our status as a REIT;
•
environmental uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters;
•
financial market fluctuations;
39
Table of Contents
•
risks related to acquisitions generally, including the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business operations and the impact on customers, tenants, lenders, operating results and business;
•
the inability to successfully integrate acquired properties, realize the anticipated benefits of acquisitions or capitalize on value creation opportunities;
•
the impact of changes in the tax laws as a result of recent federal tax reform legislation and uncertainty as to how some of those changes may be applied;
•
changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates; and
•
other factors affecting the real estate industry generally.
Additionally, we operate in a highly competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors, nor can it assess the impact of all such risk factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, investors should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Comparison of the three months ended

Net Operating Income
We evaluate performance based upon property net operating income (“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. We consider 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. We calculate 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. We define 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 on a GAAP basis, adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments required by GAAP. We believe that 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.
Management further analyzes NOI by evaluating the performance from the following property groups:
•
Same-Store properties, which includes all of the properties owned and included in our stabilized portfolio as of
January 1, 2017
and still owned and included in the stabilized portfolio as of
March 31, 2018
;
•
Non-Same-Store properties, which includes held for sale properties, development projects, redevelopment properties and lease-up properties as of
March 31, 2018
and other properties not owned or not in operation from
January 1, 2017
through
March 31, 2018
.

NOI decreased
$1.9 million
, or
1.7%
, for the three months ended
March 31, 2018
as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2017
, primarily resulting from:
•
$746 thousand
, or
1.1%
, increase in NOI from our Same-Store Office properties resulting primarily from increased rental revenues relating to leases signed at our Rincon Center (Google LLC) and 875 Howard (Glu Mobile, Inc. and Snap, Inc.) properties at a higher rate than expiring leases, offset by lease expirations at our Foothill Research Center (Robert Bosch) and Clocktower Square (K&L Gates) properties. Tenant recoveries and Office operating expenses increased primarily due to property tax adjustments recorded in 2017 for our Rincon Center property. In addition, office operating expenses increased due to ground rent expense at our 3400 Hillview property.
•
$6.3 million
, or
14.9%
, decrease in NOI from our Non-Same-Store Office properties resulting primarily from our Campus Center property, which was taken off-line for a redevelopment project, and the sale of our 222 Kearny (February 2017), Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017), Embarcadero Place (January 2018) and 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018) properties. The decrease was partially offset by the commencement of Netflix, Inc.’s leases at our ICON and CUE properties and lease-up at our 604 Arizona (ZipRecruiter) redevelopment property, our 450 Alaskan (Saltchuk Resources) development property and Hill7 (WeWork) property.
•
$1.7 million
, or
39.2%
, increase in NOI from our Same-Store Studio properties resulting primarily from higher rental revenues, partially offset by lower operating expenses. The increase was primarily a result of higher rental rates at our Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios, partially offset by lower operating expenses due to decreased utility expenses, administrative expenses and bad debt expenses.
•
$2.0 million
, or
100.0%
, increase in NOI from our Non-Same-Store Studio property resulting from our acquisition of Sunset Las Palmas Studios in May 2017.

, to
$7.5 million
for the three months ended
March 31, 2018

for the three months ended
March 31, 2018
remained relatively flat as compared to

. The increase was primarily due to higher rental rates at our Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios.
Same-Store Studio operating expenses decreased
$0.9 million
, or

, to
$6.4 million
for the three months ended
March 31, 2018
compared to
$7.3 million
for the three months ended

for the three months ended
March 31, 2018
. Non-Same-Store Studio operating expenses were
$3.3 million
for the three months ended
March 31, 2018
. We acquired Sunset Las Palmas Studios in May 2017, which caused the increase in revenues and expenses.
Other Expenses (Income)
Interest expense decreased
$1.4 million
, or
6.5%
, to
$20.5 million
for the three months ended
March 31, 2018
compared to
$21.9 million
for the three months ended
March 31, 2017
. We had notes payable of
$2.26 billion
at
March 31, 2018
compared to
$2.43 billion
at
March 31, 2017
. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower debt outstanding due to debt relief associated with the sale of our Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II properties (November 2017) and repayment of debt relating to our Rincon Center property (February 2018). Additionally, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement in March 2018, which resulted in reduced interest rates. Furthermore, capitalized interest increased primarily due to the Campus Center redevelopment.
Gains on sale of real estate increased
$20.8 million
,
123.4%
, to
$37.7 million
during the three months ended
March 31, 2018
as compared to
$16.9 million
for the three months ended
March 31, 2017
. The increase resulted from the sale of Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2600 Campus Drive (January 2018) and 2180 Sandhill (March 2018) properties in comparison to the prior year in which we sold our 222 Kearny (February 2017) and 3402 Pico (March 2017) properties.
Other income of
$404 thousand
for the three months ended
March 31, 2018
remained relatively flat as compared to
$678 thousand
for the three months ended
March 31, 2017
.
General and administrative expenses include wages and salaries for corporate-level employees, accounting, legal and other professional services, office supplies, entertainment, travel and automobile expenses, telecommunications and computer-related expenses and other miscellaneous items. General and administrative expenses increased
$1.8 million
, or
12.7%
, to $
15.6 million
for the three months ended
March 31, 2018
compared to $
13.8 million
for the three months ended
March 31, 2017
. The change was primarily attributable to the adoption of the 2018 OPP Plan, increased staffing to meet operational needs and increased investor relations costs.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased
$10.2 million
, or
14.4%
, to
$60.6 million
for the three months ended
March 31, 2018
compared to
$70.8 million
for the three months ended
March 31, 2017
. The decrease was primarily related to the sale of our 222 Kearny (February 2017), Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017), Embarcadero Place (January 2018) and 2180 Sandhill (March 2018) properties. The remaining decrease is associated with in-place lease intangibles that were fully amortized in 2017 and reduced depreciation related to our Campus Center property, which was taken off-line for redevelopment. The decrease was partially offset by increases in depreciation associated with the acquisition of Sunset Las Palmas Studios in May 2017 and recently completed development properties.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have remained capitalized since our initial public offering through public offerings, private placements and continuous offerings under our at-the-market (“ATM”) program. We currently expect that our principal sources of funds to meet
48
Table of Contents
our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements for working capital, strategic acquisitions, capital expenditures, tenant improvements, leasing costs, dividends and distributions, and repayments of outstanding debt financing will include:
•
Cash on hand, cash reserves and net cash provided by operations;
•
Proceeds from additional equity securities;
•
Our ATM program;
•
Borrowings under the operating partnership’s unsecured revolving credit facility; and
•
Proceeds from additional secured or unsecured debt financings or offerings.
Liquidity Sources
We had
$64.1 million
of cash and cash equivalents at
March 31, 2018
. Our principal source of operating cash flow is related to leasing and operating the properties in our portfolio. Our properties provide a relatively consistent stream of cash flow that provides us with resources to pay operating expenses, debt service and fund quarterly dividend and distribution requirements.
Our ability to access the equity capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about us.
We have an ATM program that allows us to sell up to
$125.0
million of common stock,
$20.1 million
of which has been sold through
March 31, 2018
. Any future sales will depend on several factors, including, but not limited to, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and our capital needs. We have no obligation to sell the remaining shares available for sale under this program.
As of
March 31, 2018
, we had total borrowing capacity of
$600.0 million
under our unsecured revolving credit facility,
$20.0 million
of which had been drawn. As of March 31, 2018, we had total borrowing capacity, subject to lender required submissions, of
$257.0 million
under our construction loan secured by our Sunset Gower Studios and Sunset Bronson Studios properties,
$5.0 million
of which had been drawn.
Our ability to incur additional debt will be dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. If we incur additional debt, the risks associated with our leverage, including our ability to service our debt, would increase.
Our ratio of debt to total market capitalization was approximately
30.6%
(counting Series A preferred units as debt) as of
March 31, 2018

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were
$75.0 million
and
$101.3 million
at
March 31, 2018
and
December 31, 2017
, respectively.
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by
$21.3 million
, or
24.8%
, to
$64.4 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
compared to
$85.7 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2017
. The change resulted primarily from a decrease in cash NOI, as defined, from our Office and Studio properties, driven by lower cash rents due to the sale of our Pinnacle I and Pinnacle II (November 2017), Embarcadero Place (January 2018), 2600 Campus Drive (January 2018) and 2180 Sand Hill (March 2018) properties and redevelopment at our Campus Center property. The decrease was partially offset by higher cash NOI related to the commencement of Netflix, Inc.’s lease at our ICON, our 450 Alaskan (Saltchuk Resources) development project, and Sunset Las Palmas Studios.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities increased by
$185.4 million
, or
357.2%
, to
$133.5 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
compared to net cash used in investing activities of
$51.9 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2017
. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in proceeds from sales of real estate properties and decrease in cash used for deposit for acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in cash used for additions to investment in real estate.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities increased by
$215.9 million
, or
2,598.4%
, to
$224.2 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2018
compared to
$8.3 million
for the
three
months ended
March 31, 2017
. The change resulted primarily from a reduction in proceeds from sale of stock, partially offset by repurchases of common units in our operating partnership and increase in proceeds from notes payable.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We currently do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our 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 assignment of the purchase price of an acquired property among land, buildings, improvements, equipment and any related intangible assets and liabilities, or the effect of a property tax reassessment of our properties. These determinations, even though inherently subjective and prone to change, affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. While we believe that our estimates are based on reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time 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 accruals and those differences—positive or negative—could be material. Some of our accruals are subject to adjustment, as we believe appropriate based on revised estimates and reconciliation to the actual results when available.
In addition, we identified certain critical accounting policies that affect certain of our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements in our
2017
Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have not made any material changes to these policies during the periods covered by this Report.
Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measure: Funds From Operations
We calculate FFO in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, 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) 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. We 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. We use 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.
