LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Hudson Pacific Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: HPP) today
revised its full-year 2011 FFO guidance to a range of $0.99 to $1.04 per
diluted share.
The Company recently completed several material transactions not
reflected in its previously provided full-year 2011 FFO guidance,
including an amendment to its $200.0 million secured credit facility and
the issuance of 11,117,500 shares of the Company's common stock for
approximately $156.7 million (after underwriter discount) via a public
offering and concurrent private placement. Approximately $81.0 million
of the offering proceeds was used on May 4, 2011 to repay all
outstanding indebtedness under the Company's revolving secured credit
facility and another $14.3 million of the offering proceeds was used on
June 1, 2011 to repay project financing relating to our Tierrasanta
project. The remaining offering proceeds continue to be available for
general corporate purposes and to fund future acquisitions.
As with the previously provided guidance, the estimates include all
prior acquisition and related financing activity, including the
acquisition and financing of Rincon Center, which the Company completed
on April 29, 2011. This guidance also reflects the Company's FFO for the
three months ended March 31, 2011 of $0.34 per diluted share (based on
the fully diluted weighted average common shares and units outstanding
for the first quarter), which includes $0.08 per diluted share from an
early lease termination payment and write-off of the straight-line rent
receivable and lease buy-out cost asset associated with a single-floor
tenant at the Company's City Plaza project. The guidance also includes
$0.02 per diluted share from the anticipated acquisition of 625 Second
Street in San Francisco, which the Company recently signed a purchase
contract to acquire within the third quarter of this year, subject to
completing the assumption of existing project financing for that
property. The estimates reflect management's view of current and future
market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates,
occupancy levels and the earnings impact of events referenced in this
release, but otherwise exclude any impact from future acquisitions,
dispositions, debt financings or repayments, recapitalizations, capital
market activity, or similar matters.
