Hudson Pacific Properties and Blackstone Announce New Joint Venture to Expand Studio Platform
Blackstone to purchase a 49% stake in Hudson Pacific’s Hollywood Media Portfolio,
a 2.2 million-square-foot collection of studio facilities and Class A office buildings
valued at $1.65 billion

production space at Sunset Gower and Sunset Las Palmas Studios
Hudson Pacific and Blackstone will look to partner on future studio acquisitions in

_________________
LOS ANGELES and NEW YORK (June 29, 2020)—Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (“Hudson Pacific”) (NYSE: HPP) and Blackstone (NYSE: BX) today announced that funds affiliated with Blackstone Property Partners will acquire a 49% interest in Hudson Pacific’s three Hollywood studios and five on-lot or adjacent Class A office properties, totaling 2.2 million square feet, at a gross portfolio valuation of $1.65 billion. Hudson Pacific will retain a 51% ownership stake and remain responsible for day-to-day operations, leasing and development. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of this year.
“Hudson Pacific has been at the forefront of Hollywood’s renaissance for more than a decade, owning, operating and building world-class creative office and production campuses for leading media and technology companies,” said Victor Coleman, Chairman and CEO of Hudson Pacific. “Our latest joint venture with Blackstone unlocks a portion of the value we’ve created for our shareholders and provides us with significant capital to grow both our studio and office portfolios, including the build-out of additional development rights at our existing studios. We are pleased to once again align with Blackstone, a trusted and proven strategic partner, who shares our long-term vision for our studio portfolio and the asset class more broadly.”
“Our business is driven by investing thematically in sectors with powerful secular tailwinds, and there is no better example of that than content creation in Los Angeles,” said Ken Caplan, Global Co-Head of Blackstone Real Estate. “We could not be more excited to partner with Hudson Pacific on this irreplaceable portfolio. They have been an extraordinary partner to us and possess a best-in-class management team. We look forward to significantly growing this platform together for the long-term.”
The transaction includes Sunset Bronson, Sunset Gower and Sunset Las Palmas Studios, which collectively comprise 35 stages or 1.2 million square feet of production and support space in Hollywood. The studio lots are critical infrastructure for TV, film and digital production and house content production tenants from both traditional and streaming media companies. The portfolio also features 966,000 square feet of highly sought-after Class A office properties that Hudson Pacific has developed on or adjacent to the lots, specifically 6040 Sunset, ICON, CUE, EPIC and the soon-to-be-completed Harlow. Netflix is the portfolio’s largest tenant, leasing over 700,000 square feet, in addition to signing long-term deals for stages and production space.
Hudson Pacific’s predecessor company Hudson Capital, also founded and led by Coleman, purchased Sunset Gower and Sunset Bronson in 2007 and 2008, respectively, just as the ramp-up in traditional and streaming content production began to put stages, particularly those with adjacent premier quality workspace, in high demand. In 2017, Hudson Pacific continued its successful strategy when it purchased Sunset Las Palmas, strengthening the company’s position as the largest independent owner and operator of sound stages in Los Angeles. In addition to developing and leasing the properties, Hudson Pacific also substantially improved studio cash flow through property management and ongoing capital improvements.
Opportunities to further expand the joint venture’s portfolio include approximately 1.1 million square feet of untapped development rights at Sunset Gower and Sunset Las Palmas, as well as the pursuit of additional studio acquisitions in Los Angeles and other markets. Blackstone’s and Hudson Pacific’s complementary industry relationships and expertise provide the partnership with a unique advantage in sourcing and executing on future studio deals. Further, the two firms have a successful track record of working together on transactions, including Hudson Pacific’s $3.5 billion purchase of the former Equity Office Properties San Francisco Peninsula and Silicon Valley office portfolio in 2015, and the joint venture purchase of the 1.5 million-square-foot Bentall Centre in Vancouver, Canada last year.
Eastdil Secured is acting as Hudson Pacific’s lead financial advisor, with BofA Securities also acting as a financial advisor in connection with the transaction. Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP and Latham & Watkins LLP are acting as Hudson Pacific’s legal counsel. Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP is acting as Blackstone’s legal counsel, and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC and Barclays are serving as Blackstone’s financial advisors.

Definitions Adjusted EBITDAre: Adjusted EBITDAre represents net income (loss) before interest, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and before our share interest and depreciation from the unconsolidated real estate entity and further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain non-cash items and items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing performance. We believe that Adjusted EBITDAre is useful because it allows investors and management to evaluate and compare our performance from period to period in a meaningful and consistent manner, in addition to standard financial measurements under GAAP. Adjusted EBITDAre is not a measurement of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to income attributable to common shareholders, as an indicator of operating performance or any measure of performance derived in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDAre may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, accordingly, comparability may be limited. Company’s Share: Non-GAAP financial measures calculated as the consolidated amount, in accordance with GAAP, plus the Company’s share of the amount from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the Company’s percentage ownership interest), minus the Company’s partners’ share of the amount from the Company’s consolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the partners’ percentage ownership interests). Management believes that presenting the “Company’s Share” of these measures provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and/or results of operations because the Company has several significant joint ventures and in some cases, the Company exercises significant influence over, but does not control, the joint venture, in which case GAAP requires that the Company account for the joint venture entity using the equity method of accounting and the Company does not consolidate it for financial reporting purposes. In other cases, GAAP requires that the Company consolidate the venture even though the Company’s partner(s) owns a significant percentage interest. As a result, management believes that presenting the Company’s Share of various financial measures in this manner can help investors better understand the Company’s financial condition and/or results of operations after taking into account its true economic interest in these joint ventures. Company’s Share of Debt: Similar to Consolidated Debt except it includes the Company’s Share of unconsolidated joint venture debt and excludes partner’s share of consolidated joint venture partner debt. Company’s Share of Market Capitalization: Similar to Consolidated Market Capitalization except it includes the Company’s Share of Debt. Consolidated Debt: Equal to the sum of (i) Unsecured and Secured Debt and (ii) Series A preferred units. Consolidated Market Capitalization: Equal to the sum of (i) Unsecured and Secured Debt, (ii) series A preferred units and (iii) common equity capitalization. Common equity capitalization represents the total Shares of Common Stock/Units Outstanding at End of Period multiplied by the closing price at quarter end. Consolidated Unsecured and Secured Debt: Excludes in-substance defeased debt related to our Hudson Pacific/Macerich joint venture and unamortized deferred financing costs and unamortized loan discounts/premiums related to our registered senior debt. The full amount of debt related to the Hill7 joint venture are included. Consolidated Debt, Net: Similar to Consolidated debt, less consolidated cash and cash equivalents. Company’s Share of Debt, Net: Similar to Company’s Share of Debt, except it includes the Company’s Share of unconsolidated joint venture cash and cash equivalents and excludes partner’s share of consolidated joint venture cash and cash equivalents. 13
Definitions (Cont.) Funds from Operations (“FFO”): Non-GAAP financial measure we believe is a useful supplemental measure of our performance. 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 generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus the Company’s Share of real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets). The calculation of FFO includes the Company’s Share of 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. Net Operating Income (“NOI”): We evaluate performance based upon property 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 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. 14
