1. Overview
Organization and Description of Business
Douglas Emmett, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT). We are one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. We focus on owning and acquiring a substantial share of top-tier office properties and premier multifamily communities in neighborhoods that possess significant supply constraints, high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities.
Through our interest in Douglas Emmett Properties, LP (our operating partnership) and its subsidiaries, as well as our investment in our institutional unconsolidated real estate funds (Funds), we own or partially own, manage, lease, acquire and develop real estate, consisting primarily of office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. As of September 30, 2013, we owned a consolidated portfolio of fifty-two office properties (including ancillary retail space) and nine multifamily properties, as well as the fee interests in two parcels of land subject to ground leases. Alongside our consolidated portfolio, we also manage and own equity interests in our Funds which, at September 30, 2013, owned eight additional office properties, for a combined sixty office properties in our total portfolio.
The terms "us," "we" and "our" as used in these financial statements refer to Douglas Emmett, Inc. and its subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012 are the consolidated financial statements of Douglas Emmett, Inc. and our subsidiaries, including our operating partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in our consolidated financial statements, and certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with the current period presentation.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading. The accompanying unaudited financial statements include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2013. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the notes thereto. Any references to the number of properties and square footage are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make certain estimates and assumptions, including, for example, with respect to the allocation of the purchase price of acquisitions among land, buildings, improvements, equipment and any related intangible assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are subjective and affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
During the period covered by this report, we have not made any material changes to our significant accounting policies included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Income Taxes
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. Provided that we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders that we derive from our REIT qualifying activities. We are subject to corporate-level tax on the earnings that we derive through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (TRS).
Recently Issued Accounting Literature
Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) in the form of Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs). We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs.
In February 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation is Fixed at the Reporting Date (Topic 405), which provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this ASU is fixed at the reporting date, except for obligations addressed within existing guidance in U.S. GAAP. ASU No. 2013-04 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013, which for us means the first quarter of 2014. When adopted, ASU 2013-04 applies retroactively for existing joint and several liability arrangements within the scope of Subtopic 405-40. Although earlier application is permitted, we do not intend to adopt the ASU before the effective date. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations, as we do not currently have any obligations within the scope of this ASU.
In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU No. 2013-10, Inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (or Overnight Index Swap Rate) as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes (Topic 815), which permits for the inclusion of the Fed Funds Effective Swap Rate (OIS) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes, in addition to interest rates on direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government (UST), and the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR). The ASU amendments also remove the restriction on using different benchmark interest rates for similar hedges. ASU No. 2013-10 is effective prospectively for qualifying new or redesignated hedging relationships entered into on or after July 17, 2013. We do not expect this ASU to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
The FASB has not issued any other ASUs during 2013 that we expect to be applicable and have a material impact on our future financial position or results of operations.

3. Investment in Real Estate
On May 15, 2013, we used a portion of our cash on hand to purchase a 225,000 square foot Class A office building located at 8484 Wilshire Blvd. in Beverly Hills for a contract price of $89.0 million, or approximately $395 per square foot. On August 15, 2013, we purchased a 191,000 square foot Class A office building located at 16501 Ventura Blvd. in Encino for a contract price of $61.0 million, or approximately $319 per square foot. The results of operations for these properties after the date of acquisition are included in our consolidated statements of operations. We did not acquire any properties during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

8. Interest Rate Contracts
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
We make use of interest rate swap and interest rate cap contracts to manage the risk associated with changes in the interest rates on our floating-rate borrowings. When we enter into a floating-rate term loan, we generally enter into an interest rate swap agreement for the equivalent principal amount, for a period covering the majority of the loan term, which effectively converts our floating-rate debt to a fixed-rate basis during that time. In limited instances, we make use of interest rate caps to limit our exposure to interest rate increases on underlying floating-rate debt.
We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to hedge certain economic risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply, or for which we elect to not apply hedge accounting. We do not use any other derivative instruments.
As of September 30, 2013, the totals of our existing swaps and caps that qualified as highly effective cash flow hedges were as follows:
|
| | | | |
Interest Rate Derivative | | Number of Instruments | | Notional (in thousands) |
Interest Rate Swaps | | 7 | | $1,828,080 |
Interest Rate Caps | | 2 | | $111,920 |
Non-designated Hedges
Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative. As of September 30, 2013, we had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were not designated for accounting purposes as hedging instruments, but were used to hedge our economic exposure to interest rate risk:
|
| | | | |
Interest Rate Derivative | | Number of Instruments | | Notional (in thousands) |
Purchased Caps | | 4 | | $100,000 |
Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision under which we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations if we default on the underlying indebtedness that we are hedging, including any default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender. There have been no events of default with respect to any of our derivatives.
As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the fair value of derivatives in a net liability position, when aggregated by counterparty, was $75.3 million and $107.4 million, respectively, which includes accrued interest but excludes any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements.
Accounting for Interest Rate Contracts
For hedging instruments designated as cash flow hedges, gain or loss recognition are generally matched to the earnings effect of the related hedged item or transaction, with any resulting hedge ineffectiveness recorded as interest expense. Hedge ineffectiveness is determined by comparing the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedge to the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the related hedged item or transaction. All other changes in the fair value of these hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI), which is a component of equity outside of earnings. Amounts reported in AOCI related to our hedges are then reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the hedged item or transaction. Amounts reported in AOCI related to our Funds' hedges are reclassified to income including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds as interest payments are made by our Funds on their hedged items or transactions. We estimate that $35.3 million of our AOCI related to our derivatives designated as cash flow hedges will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense during the next twelve months, and $846 thousand of our AOCI related to our Funds derivatives designated as cash flow hedges will be reclassified as a decrease to income (loss) including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds during the next twelve months. Changes in fair value of derivatives not designated as hedges are recognized as interest expense.

Fair Value Measurement
We record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value using the framework for measuring fair value established by the FASB. The fair value of these hedges is obtained through independent third-party valuation sources that use conventional valuation algorithms. All of our derivative contracts are subject to enforceable master netting arrangements, and we have elected to present the fair value of our derivatives on a gross basis. See Note 11 for our fair value disclosures.

9. Equity
Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests in our operating partnership relate to interests that are not owned by us. Noncontrolling interests represented approximately 17% of our operating partnership at September 30, 2013. A unit in our operating partnership and a share of our common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of our operating partnership. Investors who own units in our operating partnership have the right to cause our operating partnership to redeem any or all of their units in our operating partnership for an amount of cash per unit equal to the then current market value of one share of common stock, or, at our election, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis. Noncontrolling interests also include a one-third interest of a minority partner in a consolidated joint venture which owns an office building in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Stock-Based Compensation
The Douglas Emmett, Inc. 2006 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors. All officers, employees, directors and consultants are eligible to participate in our stock incentive plan. For more information on our stock incentive plan, please refer to the notes to the consolidated financial statements in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on February 27, 2013.
Total net equity compensation expense for equity grants was $1.5 million and $1.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. These amounts do not include (i) capitalized equity compensation totaling $97 thousand and $133 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $304 thousand and $387 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and (ii) $3.0 million in immediately vested equity grants issued during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 to satisfy a portion of the annual bonuses that were accrued during the prior year. Compensation expense for our long term incentive plan units which are not immediately vested is recognized using the accelerated recognition method. Compensation expense for options which are not immediately vested is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period which is equal to the vesting period. Certain amounts of equity compensation expense are capitalized for employees who provide leasing and construction services.
10. Earnings Per Share (EPS)
We calculate basic EPS by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. We calculate diluted EPS by dividing the net income attributable to common stockholders and holders of equity in our consolidated operating partnership for the period by the weighted average number of common shares and dilutive instruments outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. The table below presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS:

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Our estimates of the fair value of financial instruments at September 30, 2013 were determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methods. Considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop an estimated fair value. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methods may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.
The FASB fair value framework includes a hierarchy that distinguishes between assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity, and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market-based inputs. Level 1 inputs utilize unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are observable either directly or indirectly for similar assets and liabilities in active markets. Level 3 inputs are unobservable assumptions generated by the reporting entity.
The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, rents and other receivables, interest payable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, security deposits, and dividends payable approximate their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
We have typically financed our capital needs through short-term lines of credit and long-term secured mortgages. See Note 6. We calculate the fair value of our secured notes payable by adjusting their face value for current market interest rates (assuming the loans are outstanding through maturity) and any changes to underlying collateral. We have determined that the fair value of our secured notes payable is calculated using Level 2 inputs under the fair value hierarchy. At September 30, 2013, the aggregate fair value of our secured notes payable was estimated to be approximately $3.40 billion, based on a credit-adjusted present value of the future principal and interest payments related to our debt, compared to their carrying value of $3.35 billion. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of our secured loans was approximately $3.51 billion compared to their carrying value of $3.44 billion.
We use interest rate swaps and caps to manage interest rate risk resulting from variable interest payments on our floating rate debt. See Note 8. These financial instruments are carried on our balance sheet at fair value based on assumptions used by market participants in pricing the asset or liability. The valuation of our interest rate swaps and caps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. We have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
We did not have any fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) as of September 30, 2013.
The table below (in thousands) presents the derivative assets and liabilities presented in our financial statements at their estimated fair value on a gross basis without reflecting any net settlement positions with the same counterparty:

12. Future Minimum Lease Receipts
We lease space to tenants primarily under non-cancelable operating leases that generally contain provisions for a base rent plus reimbursement for certain operating expenses. Operating expense reimbursements are reflected in our consolidated statements of operations as tenant recoveries.
We also lease space to certain tenants under non-cancelable leases that provide for percentage rents based upon tenant revenues. Percentage rental income totaled $162 thousand and $158 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $432 thousand and $457 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Future minimum base rentals on our non-cancelable office and ground operating leases as of September 30, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):
|
| | | |
Twelve months ending September 30: | |
2014 | $ | 362,425 |
|
2015 | 316,703 |
|
2016 | 266,858 |
|
2017 | 215,891 |
|
2018 | 166,553 |
|
Thereafter | 415,303 |
|
Total future minimum base rentals | $ | 1,743,733 |
|
The above future minimum lease receipts exclude residential leases, which typically have a term of one year or less, as well as tenant reimbursements, amortization of deferred rent receivables, and amortization of acquired above/below-market lease intangibles. Some leases are subject to termination options, generally upon payment of a termination fee. The preceding table assumes that these termination options are not exercised.
13. Future Minimum Lease Payments
We currently lease portions of the land underlying two of our office properties. We expensed ground lease payments of $547 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. We have a purchase option in one of these two leases, which we may exercise at any time prior to May 31, 2014 for a purchase price of $27.5 million. Because we have the ability and the intent to exercise this option, we have excluded payments under this lease from the future minimum rent payments in the table below. The following is a schedule (in thousands) of our future minimum ground lease payments as of September 30, 2013:

14. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
We are subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Excluding ordinary routine litigation incidental to our business, we are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Our properties are located in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors affecting the markets in which the tenants operate. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our tenants for potential credit losses. In addition, we have financial instruments that subject us to credit risk, which consist primarily of accounts receivable, deferred rents receivable and interest rate contracts. We maintain our cash and cash equivalents at high quality financial institutions with investment grade ratings. Interest bearing accounts at each U.S. banking institution are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250 thousand. We have not experienced any losses to date on our deposited cash.
Asset Retirement Obligations
Conditional asset retirement obligations represent a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity in which the timing and/or method of settlement is conditional on a future event that may or may not be within our control. A liability for a conditional asset retirement obligation must be recorded if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. Environmental site assessments and investigations have identified twenty properties in our consolidated portfolio containing asbestos, which would have to be removed in compliance with applicable environmental regulations if these properties undergo major renovations or are demolished. As of September 30, 2013, the obligations to remove the asbestos from these properties have indeterminable settlement dates, and we are unable to reasonably estimate the fair value of the associated conditional asset retirement obligation.
Guarantees
On April 30, 2013, one of our Funds closed a $325.0 million loan to refinance an existing loan. The new loan matures on May 1, 2018, and carries interest that is effectively fixed by an interest rate swap which matures on May 1, 2017. We made certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve outs under this loan, and guaranteed the related swap, although we have an indemnity from the Fund for any amounts that we would be required to pay under these agreements. As of September 30, 2013 the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were approximately $7.1 million. As of September 30, 2013, all obligations under the loan and swap agreements have been performed by the Fund in accordance with the terms of those agreements.
Tenant Concentrations
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, no tenant accounted for more than 10% of our total rental revenue and tenant recoveries.

15. Segment Reporting
Segment information is prepared on the same basis that we review information for operational decision-making purposes. We operate in two business segments: (i) the acquisition, redevelopment, ownership and management of office real estate and (ii) the acquisition, redevelopment, ownership and management of multifamily real estate. The services for our office segment primarily include rental of office space and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental. The services for our multifamily segment include rental of apartments and other tenant services, including parking and storage space rental.
Asset information by segment is not reported because we do not use this measure to assess performance or make decisions to allocate resources. Therefore, depreciation and amortization expense is not allocated among segments. General and administrative expenses and interest expense are not included in segment profit as our internal reporting addresses these items on a corporate level.
Segment profit is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP, and it is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies may calculate segment profit in the same manner. We consider segment profit to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it can assist both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our properties.
The table below (in thousands) presents the operating activity of our reportable segments:

16. Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Funds
We manage and own equity interests in two Funds, Douglas Emmett Fund X, LLC (Fund X), and Douglas Emmett Partnership X, LP (Partnership X), through which institutional investors own 8 buildings totaling 1.8 million square feet in our core markets. On a weighted average square footage basis, we own almost 60% of these Funds.
During the first quarter of 2013, we acquired an additional 3.3% interest in Fund X, and an additional 0.9% interest in Partnership X, from an existing investor for an aggregate of approximately $8.0 million in cash. During the first quarter of 2012, we acquired a 16.3% interest in Fund X from existing investors for approximately $33.4 million in cash.
On April 3, 2013, we loaned $2.9 million to a related party investor in connection with a capital call made by Fund X. The loan carries interest at one month LIBOR plus 2.5%, and is due and payable no later than April 1, 2017, with mandatory prepayments equal to any distributions with respect the related party's interest in Fund X.
The table below (in thousands) presents selected financial information for the Funds. The amounts represent 100% (not our pro-rata share) of amounts related to the Funds, and are based upon historical acquired book value:

17. Subsequent Event
In October 2013, there was a fire in a unit in one building at our Barrington Plaza apartment property. With the exception of two floors damaged by the fire (mostly from water and smoke), we reopened all of that building within a few days. We currently expect that the remaining 20 units will be fully restored within a few months, and we do not currently expect a material impact after application of available insurance proceeds.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Report) 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 (the Exchange Act). You can find many (but not all) of these statements by looking for words such as "approximates," "believes," "expects," "anticipates," "estimates," "intends," "plans," "would," "could", "may" or other similar expressions in this Report. We claim the protection of the safe harbor contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this Report, or those that we may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on our beliefs and assumptions. The actual outcome will be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties and factors that are beyond our control or ability to predict. Although we believe that our assumptions are reasonable, they are not guarantees of future performance and some will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, our actual future results can be expected to differ from our expectations, and those differences may be material. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on previously reported forward-looking statements, which were based on results and trends at the time they were made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include the following: adverse economic or real estate developments in Southern California and Honolulu, Hawaii; a general downturn in the economy, such as the recent global financial crisis; decreased rental rates or increased tenant incentive and vacancy rates; defaults on, early termination of, or non-renewal of leases by tenants; increased interest rates and operating costs; failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness; difficulties in raising capital for our institutional funds; difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions; failure to successfully operate acquired properties and operations; failure to maintain our status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; possible adverse changes in rent control laws and regulations; environmental uncertainties; risks related to natural disasters; lack or insufficient amount of insurance, or changes to the cost of maintaining existing insurance coverage; inability to successfully expand into new markets and submarkets; risks associated with property development; conflicts of interest with our officers; changes in real estate zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates; the negative results of litigation or governmental proceedings; and the consequences of any possible future terrorist attacks. For further discussion of these and other factors, see "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
This Report and all subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Report.
Executive Summary
Douglas Emmett, Inc. is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed REIT. We are one of the largest owners and operators of high-quality office and multifamily properties in Los Angeles County, California and in Honolulu, Hawaii. We focus on owning and acquiring a substantial share of top-tier office properties and premier multifamily communities in neighborhoods that possess significant supply constraints, high-end executive housing and key lifestyle amenities.
Through our interest in Douglas Emmett Properties, LP (our operating partnership) and its subsidiaries, including our investments in unconsolidated Funds, we own or partially own, manage, lease, acquire and develop real estate, consisting primarily of office and multifamily properties. As of September 30, 2013:
| |
• | Our consolidated portfolio of properties included fifty-two Class A office properties (including ancillary retail space) totaling approximately 13.3 million rentable square feet and nine multifamily properties containing 2,868 apartment units, as well as the fee interests in two parcels of land subject to ground leases. |
| |
• | Our total office portfolio included sixty office properties aggregating approximately 15.1 million rentable square feet, consisting of both our consolidated office properties and eight Class A office properties owned by our Funds (in which we own a weighted average of 60% based on square footage). |
| |
• | Our consolidated office portfolio was 92.0% leased and 90.0% occupied and our total office portfolio was 91.7% leased and 89.6% occupied. |
| |
• | Our multifamily properties were 99.5% leased and 98.5% occupied. |
| |
• | Approximately 85.6% of the annualized rent of our consolidated portfolio was derived from our office properties and the remaining 14.4% from our multifamily properties. |
| |
• | Approximately 86.3% of the annualized rent of our consolidated portfolio was derived from our Los Angeles County office and multifamily properties and the remaining 13.7% from our Honolulu, Hawaii office and multifamily properties. |
Financings, Acquisitions, Dispositions, Development and Repositionings
Financings:
| |
• | During the first quarter of 2013, we used a portion of our cash on hand to pay down $90.0 million on a $240.0 million loan that was scheduled to mature on April 1, 2015. |
| |
• | On April 30, 2013, Douglas Emmett Fund X, LLC, one of our unconsolidated Funds, closed a $325.0 million loan which matures on May 1, 2018 with a floating interest rate that we effectively fixed at 2.35% per annum until May 1, 2017. The unconsolidated Fund used the proceeds of that loan, plus $40.0 million of additional cash, to pay down its outstanding debt of $365.0 million that was scheduled to mature on August 19, 2013. |
Acquisitions:
| |
• | During the first quarter of 2013, we purchased an additional 3.3% interest in Douglas Emmett Fund X, LLC and an additional 0.9% interest in Douglas Emmett Partnership X, LP, for an aggregate of approximately $8.0 million in cash. |
| |
• | On May 15, 2013, we used a portion of our cash on hand to purchase a 225,000 square foot Class A office building located at 8484 Wilshire Blvd. in Beverly Hills for a contract price of $89.0 million, or approximately $395 per square foot. |
| |
• | On August 15, 2013, we purchased a 191,000 square foot Class A office building located at 16501 Ventura Blvd. in Encino for a contract price of $61.0 million, or approximately $319 per square foot. |
Dispositions: We had no property dispositions during the first nine months of 2013.
Development: We have begun work on two multifamily projects, one in Brentwood in Los Angeles, and one in Honolulu. Each development is on land which we already own. Because development in our markets, particularly West LA, remains a long and uncertain process, even if successful, we do not expect to break ground in Honolulu until the second quarter of 2014, while groundbreaking on our Los Angeles project is not expected to occur before at least 2015.
Repositionings: We often strategically purchase properties with large vacancies or expected near-term lease roll-over and use our knowledge of the property and submarket to reposition the property for the optimal use and tenant mix. The work we undertake to reposition a building typically takes months or even years, and could involve a range of improvements from a complete structural renovation to a targeted remodeling of selected spaces. We generally select a property for repositioning at the time we purchase it, although repositioning efforts can also occur at properties we already own. During the repositioning, the affected property may display depressed rental revenue and occupancy levels which impacts our results and, therefore, comparisons of our performance from period to period. We are currently repositioning a seventy-nine thousand square foot office property in Honolulu in which we own a two-thirds interest.
Historical Results of Operations
Overview
Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 consisted of the rental operations of fifty consolidated office properties and nine consolidated multifamily properties, as well as (after the respective date of acquisition) two additional office properties that we acquired on May 15, 2013 and August 15, 2013. Our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 consisted of the rental operations of fifty consolidated office properties and nine consolidated multifamily properties. Our share of results from our unconsolidated Funds, which owned an additional eight office properties for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and September 30, 2012, is included through income (loss), including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds. We acquired additional interests in our Funds in 2013 and 2012. See Note 3 and Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.
Funds From Operations
Many investors use Funds From Operations (FFO) as a performance yardstick to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. FFO represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairments of depreciable operating property and investments, real estate depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), adjusted to treat debt interest rate swaps as terminated for all purposes in the quarter of termination.
Like any metric, FFO is not perfect as a measure of our performance, because it excludes depreciation and amortization, and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or may not adjust that definition to treat debt interest rate swaps as terminated for all purposes in the quarter of termination and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to those other REITs’ FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to GAAP net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute measure for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
For the reasons described below, our FFO (adjusted for our terminated swaps) (i) for the three months ended September 30, 2013 increased by $6.7 million, or 11.7%, to $64.0 million compared to $57.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and (ii) for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 increased by $17.0 million, or 9.5% to $195.9 million compared to $178.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increases were primarily attributable to (i) increased office and multifamily revenue, due to increases in office occupancy and multifamily rental rates, as well as rent from two office properties that we acquired in 2013, partly offset by other factors, (ii) an increase in our share of our unconsolidated Funds' FFO, as well as (iii) a decrease in our interest expense, due to $340.0 million in notional amount of interest rate swaps that matured in the first quarter of 2013. GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders increased by $5.7 million, or 112.7%, to $10.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders increased by $19.5 million, or 114.9%, to $36.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $17.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.
The table below (in thousands) is a reconciliation of our FFO to net income attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP:

____________________________________________________
| |
(1) | We terminated certain interest rate swaps in December 2011 in connection with the refinancing of related loans. As noted above, in calculating FFO, we make an adjustment to treat debt interest rate swaps as terminated for all purposes in the quarter of termination. In contrast, under GAAP, terminated swaps can continue to impact net income over their original lives as if they were still outstanding. In calculating FFO, we recognize the full expense in the period the swaps are terminated and offset the subsequent amortization expense contained in GAAP net income by an equivalent amount in this table. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, GAAP net income was reduced by amortization expense as a result of swaps terminated in December 2011. We had no swap terminations in 2012 and 2013. |
Rental Rate Trends
Office Rental Rates: The table below presents the average effective annual rental rate per leased square foot, and the annualized lease transaction costs for leases executed in our total office portfolio:
|
| | | | | | | | | |
| Nine Months Ended | | Twelve Months Ended December 31, |
Historical straight-line rents:(1) | September 30, 2013 | | 2012 | | 2011 | | 2010 | | 2009 |
Average rental rate(2) | $34.78 | | $32.86 | | $32.76 | | $32.33 | | $35.11 |
Annualized lease transaction costs(3) | $3.93 | | $4.06 | | $3.64 | | $3.68 | | $3.33 |
___________________________________________________
| |
(1) | Because straight-line rent takes into account the full economic value of each lease, including accommodations and rent escalations, we believe that it may provide a better comparison than ending cash rents, which include the impact of the annual escalations over the entire term of the lease. However, care should be taken in any comparison, as the averages are often significantly affected from period to period by factors such as the buildings, submarkets, types of space and term involved in the leases executed during the period. |
| |
(2) | Represents the weighted average straight-line annualized base rent (i.e., excludes tenant reimbursements, parking and other revenue) per leased square foot for leases entered into within our total office portfolio. For our triple net Burbank and Honolulu office properties, annualized rent is calculated by adding expense reimbursements to base rent. |

(3) | Represents the weighted average leasing commissions and tenant improvement allowances under each office lease within our total office portfolio that were executed during the applicable period, divided by the number of years of that lease. |
In the last two quarters, average starting cash rental rates on new leases in recent periods have been greater than the average ending cash rental rates on the expiring leases for the same space, although, as a result of our high annual rent escalations, less than the average ending cash rental rates on those expiring leases. However, net changes in our office rental rates did not have a significant impact on our revenues in recent periods, as the negative effect of rent roll downs, which affect approximately 11% to 14% of our office portfolio each year, were generally offset by the positive impact of the annual 3% rent escalations which have been contained in virtually all of our continuing in-place office leases. In recent periods, we are executing leases in West Los Angeles and Encino/Sherman Oaks incorporating annual rent escalations in excess of 3%.
During the third quarter of 2013, we experienced positive rent roll up for the second straight quarter, with the average straight-line rent under new and renewal leases we signed averaging 1.5% higher than the average straight-line rent under the expiring leases for the same space. Going forward, we expect that these same overall improving trends to continue, although quarterly fluctuations in submarkets, buildings and term of the expiring leases make predicting the outcome in any specific quarter difficult. Over the next four quarters, we expect to see expiring cash rents as presented in the table below:
|

(1) | Includes scheduled expirations for our total office portfolio, including our consolidated portfolio of fifty-two properties totaling 13.3 million square feet, as well as eight properties totaling 1.8 million square feet owned by our Funds. Expiring square footage reflects all existing leases that are scheduled to expire in the respective quarter shown above, excluding the square footage under leases where the existing tenant has renewed the lease prior to September 30, 2013. These numbers (i) include leases for space where someone other than the existing tenant (for example, a subtenant) had executed a lease for the space prior to September 30, 2013, but had not commenced as of that date, but (ii) do not include exercises of early termination options (unless exercised prior to September 30, 2013), or defaults occurring after September 30, 2013. We also exclude short term leases, such as month to month leases and other short term leases, from this table, because they are not included in our changes in rental rate data, have rental rates that may not be reflective of market conditions, and can distort the data trends, particularly in the first upcoming quarter. The variations in this number from quarter to quarter primarily reflects the mix of buildings/submarkets involved, although it is also impacted by the varying terms and square footage of the individual leases involved. |
| |
(2) | Represents annualized base rent (i.e., excludes tenant reimbursements, parking and other revenue) per leased square foot at expiration. The amount reflects total cash base rent before abatements. For our Burbank and Honolulu office properties, we calculate annualized base rent for triple net leases by adding expense reimbursements to base rent. Expiring rent per square foot on a quarterly basis is impacted by a number of variables, including variations in the submarkets or buildings involved. |
Multifamily Rental Rates: With respect to our residential properties, our average rent on leases to new tenants during the third quarter of 2013 was 6.7% higher than the rent for the same unit at the time it became vacant. The table below presents the average effective annual rental rate per leased unit for leases executed in our residential portfolio:

Comparison of three months ended September 30, 2013 to three months ended September 30, 2012
Revenues
Office Rental Revenue: Rental revenue includes rental revenues from our office properties, percentage rent on the retail space contained within office properties and lease termination income. Total office rental revenue increased by $1.2 million, or 1.2%, to $99.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $98.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to rental revenue of $2.4 million from properties that we acquired in the second and third quarters of 2013, partly offset by $1.2 million of lower rental revenue from the 50 office properties that we owned during both comparable periods. The decrease in revenue for our comparable properties was primarily due to (i) lower rental rates, and (ii) lower revenues from net accretion of above- and below-market leases which declined by $902 thousand to $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $3.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012, largely as the result of the ongoing expiration of leases in place at the time of our initial public offering (IPO).
Office Tenant Recoveries: Total office tenant recoveries increased by $530 thousand, or 4.7%, to $11.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $11.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $416 thousand in recoveries from the properties that we owned during both comparable periods, as well as recoveries of $114 thousand from properties that we acquired in the second and third quarters of 2013. The increase in recoveries for our comparable properties primarily reflects higher recoverable operating expenses, as well as the timing of common area maintenance (CAM) recoveries related to prior year reconciliations.
Office Parking and Other Income: Office parking and other income increased by $1.2 million, or 6.9%, to $18.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $17.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase of $806 thousand in parking and other income from properties that we owned during both comparable periods, as well as revenue of $393 thousand from properties that we acquired in the second and third quarters of 2013. The increase in parking and other income for our comparable properties reflects higher parking cash revenue primarily due to increases in rates as well as higher utilization.
Total Multifamily Revenue: Total multifamily revenue consists of rent, parking income and other income. Total multifamily revenue increased by $777 thousand, or 4.2%, to $19.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $18.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to increases in rental rates.
Operating Expenses
Office Rental Expenses: Total office rental expenses increased by $2.2 million, or 5.0%, to $46.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $44.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to office rental expenses of $1.2 million from properties that we acquired in the second and in the third quarters of 2013, as well as an increase in office rental expenses of $1.0 million from properties that we owned during both comparable periods. The increase in office rental expenses for our comparable properties primarily reflects higher property taxes and utilities expense.
Multifamily Rental Expenses: Total multifamily rental expense increased by $158 thousand, or 3.2%, to $5.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $5.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to higher property taxes and repairs and maintenance expense.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses remained relatively unchanged at $6.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $6.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012.
Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $856 thousand, or 1.8%, to $47.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $46.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to depreciation and amortization expense of $932 thousand from properties that we acquired in the second and third quarters of 2013.
Non-Operating Income and Expenses
Income (loss), Including Depreciation, from Unconsolidated Real Estate Funds: The income (loss), including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds represents our equity interest in the operating results of our Funds, including the operating income (loss) net of historical cost-basis depreciation. Our share of the income (loss), including depreciation, from our Funds totaled income of $811 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to a loss of $663 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The difference was primarily due to lower interest expense of one of our Funds, as a result of the refinancing of debt with lower principal and a lower effective interest rate, at the beginning of the second quarter of 2013.
Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased by $4.2 million, or 11.5%, to $32.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $36.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower cash interest expense of $2.8 million, as a result of the expiration of certain interest rate swaps in the first quarter of 2013, as well as decreased non-cash amortization of $1.3 million related to terminated interest rate swaps. See Notes 6 and 8 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.
Comparison of nine months ended September 30, 2013 to nine months ended September 30, 2012
Revenues
Office Rental Revenue: Rental revenue includes rental revenues from our office properties, percentage rent on the retail space contained within office properties and lease termination income. Total office rental revenue increased by $914 thousand, or 0.3%, to $296.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $295.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to rental revenue of $3.3 million from properties that we acquired in the second and third quarters of 2013, partly offset by lower revenues of $2.4 million from 50 office properties that we owned during both comparable periods. The decrease in revenue for our comparable properties was primarily due to (i) lower rental rates, and (ii) net accretion of above- and below-market leases which declined by $2.3 million to $9.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $11.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, largely as the result of the ongoing expiration of leases in place at the time of our initial public offering (IPO).
Office Tenant Recoveries: Total office tenant recoveries increased by $1.1 million, or 3.2%, to $34.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $33.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in recoveries of $928 thousand from properties that we owned during both comparable periods, reflecting higher recoverable operating expenses and timing of CAM recoveries related to prior year reconciliations.
Office Parking and Other Income: Office parking and other income increased by $3.6 million, or 6.8%, to $56.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $52.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in parking revenue of $2.9 million from properties that we owned during both comparable periods, as well as revenue of $539 thousand from properties that we acquired in the second and third quarters of 2013. The increase in parking revenue for our comparable properties reflects higher parking cash revenue, which was primarily due to increases in rates as well as higher utilization.
Total Multifamily Revenue: Total multifamily revenue consists of rent, parking income and other income. Total multifamily revenue increased by $2.5 million, or 4.5%, to $57.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $55.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to increases in rental rates.
Operating Expenses
Office Rental Expenses: Total office rental expenses increased by $2.8 million, or 2.2%, to $130.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $127.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to $1.6 million of office rental expense from properties that we acquired in the second and third quarters of 2013, as well as an increase of $1.2 million from properties that we owned during both comparable periods. The increase in office rental expenses for our comparable properties primarily reflects higher property taxes and utilities expense.
Multifamily Rental Expenses: Total multifamily rental expense increased by $248 thousand, or 1.67%, to $15.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $14.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to increases in property taxes.
General and Administrative Expenses: General and administrative expenses increased by $673 thousand, or 3.4%, to $20.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $20.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to an increase in employee equity compensation expense.
Depreciation and Amortization: Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $2.5 million, or 1.8%, to $141.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $139.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to depreciation and amortization of $1.3 million from properties that we owned during both comparable periods, as well as depreciation and amortization of $1.2 million from properties that we acquired in the second and third quarters of 2013. The increase in depreciation and amortization for our comparable properties reflects accelerated depreciation of tenant improvements as a result of a tenant bankruptcy at one of our office properties in Honolulu.
Non-Operating Income and Expenses
Income (loss), Including Depreciation, from Unconsolidated Real Estate Funds: The income (loss), including depreciation, from unconsolidated real estate funds represents our equity interest in the operating results of our Funds, including the operating income (loss) net of historical cost-basis depreciation. Our share of the income (loss), including depreciation, from our Funds was income of $3.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to a loss of $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The difference was primarily due to lower interest expense of one of our Funds, as a result of the refinancing of debt with lower principal and a lower effective interest rate, at the beginning of the second quarter of 2013.
Interest Expense: Interest expense decreased by $13.2 million, or 11.9%, to $97.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $111.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower cash interest expense of $5.0 million, as a result of the expiration of certain interest rate swaps in the first quarter of 2013, as well as decreased non-cash amortization of $8.9 million related to terminated interest rate swaps. See Notes 6 and 8 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Available Borrowings, Cash Balances and Capital Resources
We have typically financed our capital needs through short-term lines of credit and long-term secured mortgages. We had total indebtedness of $3.35 billion at September 30, 2013. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report. To mitigate the impact of fluctuations in short-term interest rates on our cash flows from operations, some of our long-term secured mortgages carry fixed interest rates, and we generally enter into interest rate swap or interest rate cap agreements with respect to our mortgages with floating interest rates. As of September 30, 2013, approximately $2.97 billion, or 89%, of our debt had an annual interest rate that was effectively fixed, with an average rate of 4.05% per annum (on an actual/360-day basis). As of September 30, 2013, we had no material long-term debt that matures in 12 months or less. For information concerning the estimated impact of changes in market interest rates on our annual earnings, please see Item 3, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk."
At September 30, 2013, our net consolidated debt (consisting of our $3.35 billion of borrowings under secured loans less our cash and cash equivalents of $148.8 million) represented 44% of our total enterprise value of $7.30 billion. Total enterprise value includes our consolidated debt and the value of our common stock, the minority units in our operating partnership and other convertible equity instruments, each based on our common stock closing price on September 30, 2013 (the last business day of the quarter) on the New York Stock Exchange of $23.47 per share.
For a description of our financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, please see "Financings, Acquisitions, Dispositions, Development and Repositionings" above.
We expect to meet our operating liquidity requirements generally through cash on hand and cash provided by operations. At September 30, 2013, we did not have any material commitments for development projects or acquisitions, although we expect to pursue such opportunities as they occur. As disclosed under "Financings, Acquisitions, Dispositions, Development and Repositionings" above, we have begun work on two multifamily projects, but had no material commitments related to these projects at September 30, 2013, as we had not begun construction. Excluding any acquisitions and debt refinancings, we anticipate that our cash on hand and provided by operations will be sufficient to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next 12 months.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, redevelopment and repositioning of properties, non-recurring capital expenditures and refinancing of indebtedness. We do not believe that our funds on hand and net cash provided by operations will be sufficient to cover all of our long-term cash requirements. The nature of our business, and the requirements imposed by REIT rules that we distribute a substantial majority of our income on an annual basis, may cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over the long term. We will seek to satisfy our additional long-term liquidity needs through long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of debt and equity securities, including units in our operating partnership, property dispositions and joint venture transactions. We have an ATM program which would allow us to sell up to an additional $300.0 million of common stock, none of which has been sold as of September 30, 2013.
Contractual Obligations
During the first quarter of 2013, we used a portion of our cash on hand to pay down $90.0 million on a $240.0 million loan scheduled to mature on April 1, 2015. During the second quarter of 2013, we invested an additional $26.4 million in Fund X in connection with the final capital call made by that Fund. As of September 30, 2013 we have no further capital commitments to our Funds. Other than these transactions, during the first nine months of 2013, there were no material changes outside the ordinary course of business in the information regarding contractual obligations included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
As of September 30, 2013, our outstanding $3.35 billion of debt included $2.97 billion of effectively fixed rate debt (under the terms of the loan or a swap), that bore interest at a weighted average annual interest rate of 4.05%, as well as $378.1 million of floating rate debt at a weighted average annual interest rate of 1.20% at floating rates then in effect. See Note 6 and Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements contained in item 1 of this Report.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We manage our Funds through which institutional investors acquired a total of 8 properties. The investment period for these Funds ended on October 7, 2012, and no further properties will be purchased by them. We have no further capital commitments to our Funds. The capital we invested in our Funds was invested on a pari passu basis with the other investors. In addition, we also receive certain additional distributions based on invested capital and on any profits that exceed certain specified cash returns to the investors.
We do not expect to receive additional significant liquidity from our investments in our Funds until the disposition of the properties held by the relevant Funds, which may not be for many years. Certain of our wholly-owned affiliates provide property management and other services with respect to the real estate owned by our Funds for which we are paid fees and/or reimbursed for our costs.
We do not have any debt outstanding in connection with our interest in our Funds. Each of our Funds has its own debt, secured by the properties it owns. The table below summarizes the debt of our Funds at September 30, 2013:
|
| | | | | | | | |
Type of Debt | | Principal Balance (in millions) | | Maturity Date | | Interest Rate |
Term loan (1) | | $ | 53.5 |
| | 4/1/2016 | | 5.67% |
Term loan (2) | | $ | 325.0 |
| | 5/1/2018 | | 2.35% |
_____________________________________________________
| |
(1) | The loan was assumed by one of our Funds upon acquisition of the property securing the loan, and requires monthly payments of principal and interest. Interest on this loan is fixed. |
| |
(2) | The loan is secured by six properties in a collateralized pool, requires monthly payments of interest only, and the outstanding principal is due upon maturity. The interest on this loan is effectively fixed by an interest rate swap which matures on May 1, 2017. We made certain environmental and other limited indemnities and guarantees covering customary non-recourse carve outs under this loan, and also guaranteed the related swap, although we have an indemnity from that Fund for any amounts that we would be required to pay under these agreements. As of September 30, 2013 the maximum future payments under the swap agreement were approximately $7.1 million. As of September 30, 2013, all obligations under the loan and swap agreements have been performed by the Fund in accordance with the terms of those agreements. |
Cash Flows
Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon the occupancy level of our portfolio, the rental rates on our leases, the collectability of rent and recoveries from our tenants, and the level of our operating expenses and other general and administrative costs. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $24.7 million, or 14.9%, to $190.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $166.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase in cash revenues from our office and multifamily portfolios of $8.9 million, due to properties that we acquired in the second and third quarters of 2013 in our office portfolio, and increases in rental rates for our multifamily portfolio, (ii) a decrease in cash operating expenses of $11.0 million as a result of working capital fluctuations, as well as (iii) a decrease in cash interest expense of $4.6 million as a result of $340.0 million in notional amount of interest rate swaps that matured in the first quarter of 2013.
Our net cash used in investing activities is generally used to fund property acquisitions, development and redevelopment projects, and recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $155.5 million to $232.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $77.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The increase was primarily due to properties that we acquired in the second and third quarters of 2013 in our office portfolio. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report.
Our net cash related to financing activities is generally impacted by our borrowings and capital activities, net of dividends and distributions paid to common stockholders and noncontrolling interests, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities increased by $55.7 million to $182.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to $127.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The nine months ended September 30, 2012 included a greater net repayment of borrowings, partly offset by net proceeds of $128.3 million from the issuance of common stock under our ATM program.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates of certain items and judgments as to certain future events, for example with respect to the allocation of the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings and improvements, tenant improvements and other in-place lease assets, and any related intangible assets and liabilities, or the effect of a property tax reassessment of our properties. These determinations, even though inherently subjective and prone to change, affect the reported amounts of our assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. While we believe that our estimates are based on reasonable assumptions and judgments at the time they are made, some of our estimates, assumptions and judgments will inevitably prove to be incorrect. As a result, actual outcomes will likely differ from our estimates, and those differences—positive or negative—could be material. Some of our estimates are subject to adjustment, as we believe appropriate, based on revised assumptions and reconciliation to the actual results when available.
In addition, we identified certain critical accounting policies that affect certain of our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We have not made any material changes to these policies during the period covered by this Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We use derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings. We only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors. For a description of our interest rate contracts, please see Note 8 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Report.
At September 30, 2013, $1.15 billion (34%) of our consolidated debt was fixed rate debt, $1.83 billion (55%) of our consolidated debt was floating rate debt hedged with derivative instruments that swapped to fixed interest rates, and $378.1 million (11%) of our consolidated debt was unhedged floating rate debt. Based on the level of unhedged floating rate consolidated debt outstanding at September 30, 2013, a 50 basis point change in the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) would result in an annual impact to our earnings (through interest expense) of approximately $1.9 million. We calculate interest sensitivity by multiplying the amount of unhedged floating rate debt by the respective change in rate. The sensitivity analysis does not take into consideration possible changes in the balances or fair value of our floating rate debt.
By using derivative instruments to hedge exposure to changes in interest rates, we expose ourselves to credit risk and the potential inability of our counterparties to perform under the terms of the agreements. We attempt to minimize this credit risk by contracting with high-quality bank financial counterparties.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and regulations and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
As of September 30, 2013, the end of the period covered by this Report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures at the end of the period covered by this Report. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded, as of that time, that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act (i) is processed, recorded, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
No changes to our internal control over financial reporting were identified in connection with the evaluation referenced above that occurred during the period covered by this Report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
