Hudson Pacific Properties (NYSE:HPP) Announces Quarterly Earnings Results, Beats Estimates By $0.01 EPS

Hudson Pacific Properties (NYSE:HPP) released its earnings results on Thursday. The real estate investment trust reported $0.21 earnings per share for the quarter, beating the consensus estimate of $0.20 by $0.01, Zacks reports. The firm had revenue of $256.03 million for the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $168.02 million. Hudson Pacific Properties had a negative return on equity of 19.52% and a negative net margin of 69.12%. Hudson Pacific Properties updated its FY 2026 guidance to 0.960-1.060 EPS.

Here are the key takeaways from Hudson Pacific Properties’ conference call:

• Hudson Pacific says it materially strengthened its balance sheet in 2025—executing ~$330 million of asset sales and ~$2 billion of capital transactions, cutting net debt ~22% and finishing with $138 million cash and $934 million total liquidity.
• Leasing momentum accelerated—management signed over 2.2 million sq ft in 2025, reports a 2.3 million sq ft leasing pipeline and tours up >50% YoY, with Q4 office occupancy at 76.3% and only ~1 million sq ft expiring in 2026 (≈60% coverage).
• The Quixote studio platform took a significant non‑cash impairment in Q4 and is being wound down/restructured; management targets eliminating its earnings drag by year‑end but acknowledged valuation and timing remain uncertain and Quixote contributed no value to 2026 guidance.
• Management reinstated full‑year FFO guidance of $0.96–$1.06 per diluted share, expects sequential FFO growth beginning in Q2 2026, and set average in‑service office occupancy guidance of 80%–82%.
• Continued capital discipline—management is targeting an additional $200M–$300M of 2026 asset sales prioritized to be FFO‑accretive and deleveraging (example: marketing 10950 Washington re‑entitled for 508 residential units with strong JV/buyer interest).
