Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Net Loss vs. Net Income: The Company reported a net loss of $14.7 million in Q1 2026 compared to net income of $43.7 million in Q1 2025. This reversal was primarily driven by a $61.8 million impairment charge on two residential properties classified as held for sale and a $23.5 million gain on the sale of operating properties in the current period (which reduced the loss relative to the impairment but was not present in the prior year).
• Revenue Stability: Total revenues remained relatively flat, decreasing slightly by $0.8 million (0.3%) year-over-year.
• Expense Increases: Interest expense increased by $7.4 million (23.6%) due to higher weighted average interest rates, partially offset by a decrease in capitalized interest ($6.6 million) as a major development project stabilized. General and administrative expenses rose $3.8 million (22.5%) due to increased headcount and compensation.
• Portfolio Changes: The Company disposed of two operating properties for gross proceeds of $145.5 million. Additionally, the Kilroy Oyster Point Phase 2 project (871,738 sq. ft.) was added to the stabilized portfolio.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Capital Recycling: Management continues to execute a capital recycling program, disposing of non-core assets to redeploy capital into higher-return opportunities. Two residential properties held for sale closed in April 2026 for $202.0 million.
• Development Pipeline: The future development pipeline includes nine projects with total estimated costs of $1.58 billion. The Company expects to spend between $100 million and $150 million on development projects for the remainder of 2026.
• Liquidity: The Company maintains a strong liquidity position with $192.9 million in cash and $1.1 billion available under its unsecured revolving credit facility. It is in compliance with all financial covenants.
• Share Repurchases: During Q1 2026, the Company repurchased 2.36 million shares for $72.7 million. Approximately $427.3 million remains authorized under the repurchase program.
• Risks: Key risks include occupancy pressures in the office sector, interest rate volatility, construction cost inflation, and the ability to refinance debt on favorable terms. The filing notes that forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties regarding economic conditions and tenant creditworthiness.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Impairment Details: Verify the specific valuation assumptions and fair value methodology used for the $61.8 million impairment on the residential properties held for sale.
• Occupancy Trends: Monitor the 77.6% stabilized occupancy rate, particularly the significant drop in the San Francisco Bay Area (75.2%) compared to the prior year (86.2%), and the impact of the newly stabilized Kilroy Oyster Point Phase 2 (5% occupied).
• Debt Maturities: Review the debt maturity schedule, noting $599.7 million due in the remainder of 2026, including the $200 million term loan maturing in October 2026.
• Leasing Velocity: Assess the 10.6% decrease in GAAP rents for all leases signed and the 16.8% decrease in cash rents, indicating downward pressure on rental rates in the current market.
• Development Costs: Track the $1.58 billion future development pipeline against the projected $100-$150 million spend for the remainder of 2026 to ensure capital allocation aligns with strategic goals.
