Topping its record-setting 2011 performance, KRC achieved its best annual leasing performance in the company's history as a publicly traded company in 2012. For the year, KRC signed new and renewing leases on approximately 2.3 million square feet of office space. At December 31, 2012, the company's stabilized portfolio, encompassing approximately 13.2 million square feet of office space located in Los Angeles, Orange County, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area and greater Seattle, was 92.8% occupied.

Throughout 2012, KRC was an active buyer of both stabilized office properties and development opportunities-most of the latter fully entitled projects that are predominantly 100% pre-leased. The company also remained an active seller of fully valued or non-strategic properties, recycling the proceeds from these dispositions into its acquisition and development programs.

The company acquired two office properties in the fourth quarter for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $102.0 million.

In October, the company acquired Tribeca West, a 96.8% occupied, 151,000 square foot, three-story entertainment-oriented office campus located at 12233 W. Olympic Boulevard immediately adjacent to the company's Westside Media Center in West Los Angeles. The purchase price was approximately $72.9 million.

In December, as part of a larger development transaction at 555 N. Mathilda Avenue, the company acquired a 76,000 square foot office building located in the Sunnyvale submarket of Silicon Valley. It is 100% occupied by LinkedIn Corporation. The purchase price was approximately $29.1 million.

Also, in the fourth quarter, the company acquired three development sites for an aggregate land purchase price of approximately $177.0 million. All three development projects are located in high-demand submarkets of the greater San Francisco Bay Area, are under construction, and are fully leased.

In October, the company purchased the land site at 350 Mission Street in San Francisco, where the company plans to build up to a 445,000 square foot, 30-story LEED-platinum certified office tower for salesforce.com under an average lease term of approximately 14 years. The purchase price for the land was approximately $52.0 million.

In December, the company purchased the land site at 331 Fairchild Drive in Mountain View, California. The company plans to build an 88,000 square foot office building for Audience, Inc. under a 10-year lease agreement. The purchase price for the land was approximately $18.9 million.

In December, the company purchased the land site at 555 N. Mathilda Avenue in Sunnyvale, California, where the company plans to build an approximate 587,000 square foot office campus for LinkedIn under a 12-year lease agreement. The purchase price for the land was approximately $106.1 million.

Further, during the fourth quarter, KRC completed the sale of its entire 39-property industrial portfolio along with two small office projects, all located in Southern California, in two transactions that together generated gross proceeds of approximately $354.2 million.

Across the entire year, KRC completed the purchase of 14 office buildings in seven transactions aggregating approximately 1.8 million square feet of space for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $674.0 million. The company also added six individual projects to its development pipeline, acquiring the projects for an aggregate land purchase price of approximately $335.0 million. The company estimates that its total investment, including land, in these six development projects will aggregate approximately $1.2 billion. In addition, it sold 46 office and industrial buildings, generating aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $500.3 million.

Details of all these transactions are available in the News and Investor Relations sections on the company's website.

"KRC entered 2012 a significantly stronger enterprise-with a bigger geographic footprint, a deeper talent bench, broader, more cost-efficient access to capital, and a sharper focus on the West Coast's most economically vibrant markets," said John Kilroy, Jr., the company's president and chief executive officer.

"Throughout the year, we've leveraged those strengths to improve the quality and diversity of our office portfolio, establish a leading role in the creation of a new generation of office space, maintain and capitalize on the market's strong demand for quality real estate assets to dispose of non-strategic properties at advantageous prices," said Kilroy. "The results can be seen in our growing roster of dynamic tenants, our improving financial results, and our strong total return to shareholders."

(1)   The company calculates FFO in accordance with the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT. The White Paper defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate and impairment write-downs associated with depreciable real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
 
Management believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of the company's operating performance. The exclusion from FFO of gains and losses from the sale of operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the assets that form the core of the company's activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. Also, because FFO is generally recognized as the industry standard for reporting the operations of REITs, it facilitates comparisons of the company's operating performance to other REITs. However, other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate FFO, and accordingly, the company's FFO may not be comparable to all other REITs.
 
Implicit in historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP is the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies using historical cost accounting alone to be insufficient. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, management believes that FFO along with the required GAAP presentations provides a more complete measurement of the company's performance relative to its competitors and a more appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities than the required GAAP presentations alone would provide.
 
However, FFO should not be viewed as an alternative measure of the company's operating performance since it does not reflect either depreciation and amortization costs or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of the company's properties, which are significant economic costs and could materially impact the company's results from operations.
