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.

FFO available to common stockholders and
unitholders includes amortization of deferred revenue related to
tenant-funded tenant improvements of $4.2 million and $4.9 million

respectively, and $15.1 million and $15.0 million for the nine
months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

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.
