Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Net Income Growth: Net income available to common stockholders increased 39.1% year-over-year for Q2 2025 ($68.4M vs. $49.2M) and 8.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 ($107.5M vs. $99.1M).
• NOI Performance: Total portfolio NOI increased 1.5% in Q2 2025 but decreased 1.2% for the six-month period. The decline in the six-month period was driven by a 0.8% decrease in the Same Property portfolio, primarily due to straight-line rent burn-off and lease expirations, partially offset by higher base rents and lower real estate taxes.
• Dispositions: The Company sold one operating property (501 Santa Monica Boulevard) in June 2025 for $40.0 million, recognizing a gain of $16.6 million. Additionally, a four-building Silicon Valley property (663,460 sq. ft.) was classified as "Held for Sale" with an expected gross sales price of $365.0 million, anticipated to close in Q3 2025.
• Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased 16.1% in Q2 2025 and 18.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025, primarily due to a lower average outstanding debt balance.
• Occupancy: Stabilized office portfolio occupancy was 80.8% as of June 30, 2025, down from 83.8% in Q2 2024. Residential occupancy remained strong at 94.5%.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Capital Recycling: Management continues to evaluate dispositions of non-core assets to fund development, acquisitions, and debt repayment. The pending sale of the Silicon Valley property is a key liquidity source.
• Development Pipeline: The future development pipeline includes eight projects with an aggregate cost basis of approximately $1.5 billion, potentially yielding over 6.0 million rentable square feet. Management expects to spend between $50.0 million and $150.0 million on development projects for the remainder of 2025.
• Debt Maturities: Significant debt maturities in late 2025 include a $200.0 million term loan and $400.0 million in unsecured senior notes (October 2025). Management believes its conservative leverage and $1.1 billion credit facility provide flexibility to refinance or repay these obligations.
• Risks: Key risks include reduced demand for office space due to remote work trends, tenant defaults, rising interest rates, and the ability to re-lease space at current market rates. The filing notes that capital raising could be challenging under current market conditions.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Debt Refinancing: Verify the Company's ability to refinance the $600 million in debt maturing in October 2025 given current credit market conditions.
• Disposition Timing: Monitor the closing of the $365 million Silicon Valley property sale expected in Q3 2025 and the use of proceeds.
• Occupancy Trends: Track the 80.8% stabilized office occupancy rate and the impact of the 12.4% of occupied space scheduled to expire in 2025-2026.
• Leasing Economics: Review the negative rent spread (cash rent decrease of 18.5% year-to-date) on second-generation leasing and its impact on future NOI.
• Development Costs: Assess the $1.5 billion future development pipeline against current construction cost inflation and pre-leasing progress.
