Occupancy and Leasing Momentum
Signed 554,000+ sq ft in Q1; in-service office portfolio occupancy 77.8%, up 150 bps sequentially; lease rate 78.4%, up 140 bps sequentially. Leasing pipeline grew to 2.4M sq ft (up 13% YoY) with 2.2M sq ft of tours (up >30% YoY).
FFO and Outlook Upgrade
Core FFO increased to $16.5M (Q1), and company raised full-year core FFO per diluted share guidance to $1.10–$1.18 (from $0.96–$1.06). Q1 outperformance and reclassification of Coyote as discontinued ops contributed to the raise (approximately $0.04 outperformance and $0.09 benefit).
Studio Performance at Prime Assets
Hollywood stages (Sunset Bronson, Gower, Las Palmas) were 97% leased (trailing 3 months). Sunset Pier 94 reached 100% leased within its first quarter of operations. Sunset Studio NOI (excluding Coyote) rose to $7.4M, up $1.0M sequentially and $1.8M YoY.
Cost Reductions and G&A Savings
G&A declined 32% YoY to $12.6M (from $18.5M), reflecting meaningful overhead streamlining and deliberate cost control.
Strong Liquidity and Lower Interest Costs
Total liquidity of $933M (including $138M cash and $795M undrawn on credit facility); interest expense down 13% YoY, saving ~$5.5M, and debt is fixed or capped.
Market Tailwinds from Tech / AI Capital
Macro: record $267B of VC deployed in Q1, fueling leasing activity—San Francisco posted 2.3M sq ft positive absorption and asking rents rose ~4% YoY; AI-related tenants comprised a large share of recent leasing (nearly 60% in SF, ~25% of tech pipeline company-wide).
Active Capital Recycling and Dispositions
Targeting $200M of FFO-accretive non-core dispositions in 2026; buyer and agreed price on 10950 Washington and another asset under contract, supporting portfolio optimization.
Coyote Wind-Down Expected to Reduce Drag
Planned wind down of Coyote leased soundstages and Atlanta operations projected to yield approximately $5.8M of annual cash NOI improvement and has been classified as discontinued operations, removing that drag from continuing core FFO.
