Hudson Pacific Properties is a real estate investment trust specializing in providing end-to-end real estate solutions for tech and media tenants, particularly in high-barrier markets. Recently, the company released its fourth quarter 2024 financial results, highlighting significant leasing activities and strategic priorities aimed at strengthening its financial position.
In 2024, Hudson Pacific signed over 2 million square feet of office leases, a nearly 20% increase from the previous year, driven by AI-related leasing and in-office mandates from major employers. However, the year also saw challenges, including wildfires affecting studio production and a reduction in total revenue to $209.7 million, largely due to the sale of One Westside and tenant moves. The company reported a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $167.0 million, with FFO excluding specified items reaching $15.5 million.
Despite these challenges, the company executed several strategic initiatives, including asset sales in Palo Alto and Los Angeles, which brought in $70.8 million before closing costs. These proceeds were used to reduce debt, reflecting Hudson Pacific’s commitment to strengthening its balance sheet. The company ended the year with a liquidity position of $518.3 million and a net debt ratio at 38.7%.
Looking forward, Hudson Pacific has provided a first-quarter 2025 FFO outlook ranging from $0.07 to $0.11 per diluted share. The management remains focused on driving leasing activities, executing asset sales, and achieving cost savings to ensure future earnings growth.
