– Signed 2.0M Sq Ft of Office Leases in 2024 Including 442,000 Sq Ft in 4Q –

– Provides 2025 1Q FFO Outlook and Full-Year Assumptions –

LOS ANGELES, February 20, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HPP) (the "Company," "Hudson Pacific," or "HPP"), a unique provider of end-to-end real estate solutions for tech and media tenants, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter 2024.

Victor Coleman, Chairman and CEO, stated, "In 2024, we ended the year with office leasing nearly 20% higher compared to the prior year, comprised of more than 2.0 million square feet of activity. Importantly, our leasing pipeline is currently more than 2.0 million square feet, including nearly 800,000 square feet of later stage deals. Paired with robust touring, this momentum gives us confidence that we should see ongoing progress in our efforts to raise occupancy as we move through the year. AI related leasing as well as broader in-office mandates from major employers continue to drive companies to evaluate the need for additional space in well-located, high-quality properties. As for our studios, following a slower than anticipated start to production this year due to the wildfires in Los Angeles, we are beginning to see high-caliber shows returning and looking to ramp up production later in the year. There is also strong and growing sentiment coalescing around the California governor’s film and television tax credit program that would go into effect in the second half of 2025 and could stimulate additional demand."

"Beyond our strong focus on driving office and studio leasing, our strategic priorities in 2025 are to continue to execute on asset sales, look for additional cost savings and further strengthen our balance sheet. We are committed to achieving our targets, which will optimally position Hudson Pacific for reinvigorated future earnings growth."

Financial Results Compared to Fourth Quarter 2023

  • Total revenue of $209.7 million compared to $223.4 million, largely due to the sale of One Westside and a single tenant move out at Maxwell, partially offset by improved studio service and other revenue from Quixote and Sunset Las Palmas

  • Net loss attributable to common stockholders of $167.0 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, compared to net loss of $98.0 million, or $0.70 per diluted share, primarily due to the aforementioned items affecting revenue, a non-cash, non-real-estate impairment associated with Quixote, a prior-year gain from the sale of One Westside, partially offset by a prior-year loss on the sale of bonds and improved interest expense

  • FFO, excluding specified items, of $15.5 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, compared to $19.6 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, due to the items affecting revenue, offset by improved interest expense.
