Key Financial Metrics

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Net Loss: Net loss increased 19.3% year-over-year for the quarter to $104.7 million, primarily driven by a $50.4 million impairment loss and a $4.9 million loss on lease terminations. For the six months, net loss decreased 7.4% to $155.6 million compared to the prior year, aided by lower general and administrative expenses and interest costs.
• Impairment Loss: A significant non-cash impairment charge of $50.4 million was recorded in Q2 2026. This relates to the phased wind-down of leased sound stage facilities at Quixote and the 2001 Gateway Place office property (classified as held for sale).
• NOI Performance: Consolidated NOI increased 3.3% for the quarter to $84.6 million, driven by a 9.0% increase in same-store NOI. Same-store office occupancy improved to 81.0% and studio occupancy to 83.1%. Non-same-store NOI declined due to property sales in the prior year and repositioning activities.
• Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased 20.1% for the quarter to $38.5 million, attributed to lower outstanding balances on the unsecured credit facility and lower reference rates on floating-rate debt.
• Dividends: The Company did not pay a quarterly common stock dividend in Q2 2026. Dividends were paid on Series A preferred units ($0.3906/unit) and Series C preferred stock ($0.296875/share).

Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items

• Asset Disposition: The 2001 Gateway Place office property was sold on July 1, 2026, for $25.0 million. Proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
• Debt Maturity: The loan secured by the Hollywood Media Portfolio ($1.07 billion) matures on September 9, 2026. The Company has secured a 30-day extension while negotiating a longer-term extension; no assurance is given that a long-term extension will be granted.
• Quixote Wind-Down: The Company is continuing the phased wind-down of leased sound stage facilities and Atlanta-area operations at Quixote, resulting in lease termination losses and impairment charges.
• Development Pipeline: Significant future development projects remain in the pipeline, including Sunset Las Palmas Studios, Sunset Gower Studios, and the Burrard Exchange, with stabilization dates TBD.
• Risk Factors: Key risks include the ability to refinance the Hollywood Media Portfolio debt, adverse economic conditions affecting office occupancy, and the successful execution of the Quixote restructuring.
