Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. Forward-looking statements are based on our current
expectations, beliefs, and assumptions, and are not guarantees of
future performance. Forward-looking statements are inherently
subject to uncertainties, risks, changes in circumstances, trends,
and factors that are difficult to predict, many of which are
outside of our control. Accordingly, actual performance, results,
and events may vary materially from those indicated or implied in
the forward-looking statements, and you should not rely on the
forward-looking statements as predictions of future performance,
results, or events. Numerous factors could cause actual future
performance, results, and events to differ materially from those
indicated in the forward-looking statements, including, among
others: global market and general economic conditions, including
periods of heightened inflation, and their effect on our liquidity
and financial conditions and those of our tenants; adverse economic
or real estate conditions generally, and specifically, in the
States of California, Texas, and Washington; risks associated with
our investment in real estate assets, which are illiquid, and with
trends in the real estate industry; defaults on or non-renewal of
leases by tenants; any significant downturn in tenants’ businesses,
including bankruptcy, lack of liquidity or lack of funding, and the
impact labor disruptions or strikes, such as episodic strikes in
the entertainment industry, may have on our tenants’ businesses;
our ability to re-lease property at or above current market rates;
reduced demand for office space, including as a result of remote
working and flexible working arrangements that allow work from
remote locations other than an employer's office premises; costs to
comply with government regulations, including environmental
remediation; the availability of cash for distribution and debt
service, and exposure to risk of default under debt obligations;
increases in interest rates and our ability to manage interest rate
exposure; changes in interest rates and the availability of
financing on attractive terms or at all, which may adversely impact
our future interest expense and our ability to pursue development,
redevelopment, and acquisition opportunities and refinance existing
debt; a decline in real estate asset valuations, which may limit
our ability to dispose of assets at attractive prices, or obtain or
maintain debt financing, and which may result in write-offs or
impairment charges; significant competition, which may decrease the
occupancy and rental rates of properties; potential losses that may
not be covered by insurance; the ability to successfully complete
acquisitions and dispositions on announced terms; the ability to
successfully operate acquired, developed, and redeveloped
properties; the ability to successfully complete development and
redevelopment projects on schedule and within budgeted amounts;
delays or refusals in obtaining all necessary zoning, land use, and
other required entitlements, governmental permits and
authorizations for our development and redevelopment properties;
increases in anticipated capital expenditures, tenant improvement,
and/or leasing costs; defaults on leases for land on which some of
our properties are located; adverse changes to, or enactment or
implementations of, tax laws or other applicable laws, regulations,
or legislation, as well as business and consumer reactions to such
changes; risks associated with joint venture investments, including
our lack of sole decision-making authority, our reliance on
co-venturers’ financial condition, and disputes between us and our
co-venturers; environmental uncertainties and risks related to
natural disasters; risks associated with climate change and our
sustainability strategies, and our ability to achieve our
sustainability goals; and our ability to maintain our status as a
REIT. These factors are not exhaustive and additional factors could
adversely affect our business and financial performance. For a
discussion of additional factors that could materially adversely
affect our business and financial performance, see the factors
included under the caption “Risk Factors” in our annual report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and our other
filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. All
forward-looking statements are based on currently available
information and speak only as of the dates on which they are made.
We assume no obligation to update any forward-looking statement
made in this press release that becomes untrue because of
subsequent events, new information, or otherwise, except to the
extent we are required to do so in connection with our ongoing
requirements under federal securities laws.

We calculate Funds From Operations available to common stockholders
and common unitholders (“FFO”) in accordance with the 2018 Restated
White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of Nareit.
The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss (calculated in
accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization
related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain
real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and
impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and
investments in entities when the impairment is directly
attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate
held by the entity. The reconciling items include amounts to adjust
earnings from consolidated partially-owned entities and equity in
earnings of unconsolidated affiliates to FFO. Our calculation of
FFO includes the amortization of deferred revenue related to
tenant-funded tenant improvements and excludes the depreciation of
the related tenant improvement assets. We also add back net income
attributable to noncontrolling common units of the Operating
Partnership because we report FFO attributable to common
stockholders and common unitholders. 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.
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.

Reported amounts are attributable to common stockholders, common
unitholders, and restricted stock unitholders.
(3)
FFO available to common stockholders and unitholders includes
amortization of deferred revenue related to tenant-funded tenant
improvements of $4.4 million and $4.9 million for the three months
ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $10.9 million and
$10.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023,
respectively.
(4)
Calculated based on weighted average shares outstanding, including
participating share-based awards (i.e. certain time-based
restricted stock units) and assuming the exchange of all common
limited partnership units outstanding.
(5)
Calculated based on weighted average shares outstanding, including
participating and non-participating share-based awards, dilutive
impact of contingently issuable shares, and assuming the exchange
of all common limited partnership units outstanding.
