FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Statements made by us in this report and in other reports and statements released by us that are not historical facts constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are necessarily estimates reflecting the judgment of our senior management based on our current estimates, expectations, forecasts and projections and include comments that express our current opinions about trends and factors that may impact future operating results. Disclosures that use words such as “believe,” "may," “anticipate,” “estimate,” “intend,” “could,” “plan,” “expect,” “project” or the negative of these, as well as similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, rely on a number of assumptions concerning future events, many of which are outside of our control, and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results, performance or achievement, or industry results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements, expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties may include the risks and uncertainties described elsewhere in this report and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including the Item 1A. “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Any such forward-looking statements, whether made in this report or elsewhere, should be considered in the context of the various disclosures made by us about our businesses including, without limitation, the risk factors discussed in our filings with the SEC. Except as required under the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, we do not have any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changes in assumptions, or otherwise.
Non-GAAP Measures and Certain Definitions
In addition to the results reported in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") included within this report, Kennedy Wilson has provided certain information, which includes non-GAAP financial measures (including Adjusted Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization ("EBITDA"), Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Net Operating Income, as defined below). Such information is reconciled to its closest GAAP measure in accordance with the rules of the SEC, and such reconciliations are included within this report. These measures may contain cash and non-cash gains and expenses and gains and losses from the sale of real-estate related investments. Consolidated non-GAAP measures discussed throughout this report contain income or losses attributable to non-controlling interests. Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to both management and Kennedy Wilson's shareholders in their analysis of the business and operating performance of the Company. Management also uses this information for operational planning and decision-making purposes. Non-GAAP financial measures are not and should not be considered a substitute for any GAAP measures. Additionally, non-GAAP financial measures as presented by Kennedy Wilson may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.
“Adjusted EBITDA” represents net income before interest expense, loss (gain) on early extinguishment of debt, the Company's share of interest expense included in unconsolidated investments, depreciation and amortization, the Company's share of depreciation and amortization included in unconsolidated investments, provision for (benefit from) income taxes, the Company's share of taxes included in unconsolidated investments, share-based compensation expense for the Company and EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests. Please see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Non-GAAP measures” for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to net income as reported under GAAP. The Company's management uses Adjusted EBITDA to analyze its business because it adjusts net income for items the Company believes do not accurately reflect the nature of its business going forward or that relate to non-cash compensation expense or noncontrolling interests. Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Additionally, the Company believes Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors to assist them in getting a more accurate picture of the Company's results from operations. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and when analyzing its operating performance, readers should use Adjusted EBITDA in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not remove all non-cash items or consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments. The amount shown for Adjusted EBITDA also differs from the amount calculated under similarly titled definitions in the Company's debt instruments, which are further adjusted to reflect certain other cash and non-cash charges and are used to determine compliance with financial covenants and the Company's ability to engage in certain activities, such as incurring additional debt and making certain restricted payments.
i
“Adjusted Net Income (Loss)” represents net income (loss) before depreciation and amortization, the Company's share of depreciation and amortization included in unconsolidated investments, share-based compensation, and excluding net income attributable to noncontrolling interests, before depreciation and amortization and preferred dividends. Please also see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Certain Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of Adjusted Net Income to net income as reported under GAAP. The Company's management uses Adjusted Net Income to analyze its business because it adjusts net income for items the Company believes do not accurately reflect the nature of its business going forward or that relate to non-cash compensation expense or noncontrolling interests. Such items may vary for different companies for reasons unrelated to overall operating performance. Additionally, the Company believes Adjusted Net Income is useful to investors to assist them in getting a more accurate picture of the Company's results from operations. However, Adjusted Net Income is not a recognized measurement under GAAP and when analyzing its operating performance, readers should use Adjusted Net Income in addition to, and not as an alternative for, net income as determined in accordance with GAAP. Because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company's presentation of Adjusted Net Income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Furthermore, Adjusted Net Income is not intended to be a measure of free cash flow for management’s discretionary use, as it does not remove all non-cash items or consider certain cash requirements such as tax and debt service payments.
“Cap rate” represents the net operating income of an investment for the year preceding its acquisition or disposition, as applicable, divided by the purchase or sale price, as applicable. Capitalization ("Cap") rates discussed in this report only include data from income-producing properties. The Company calculates cap rates based on information that is supplied to it during the acquisition diligence process. This information is not audited or reviewed by independent accountants and may be presented in a manner that is different from similar information included in the Company's financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, cap rates represent historical performance and are not a guarantee of future net operating income ("NOI"). Properties for which a cap rate is discussed may not continue to perform at that cap rate.
“Co-Investment Portfolio NOI” refers to the Company's share of NOI that is generated from the properties in which the Company has an ownership interest and that are held in the Company's Co-Investment Portfolio business segment. Please also see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Certain Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of Co-Investment Portfolio NOI to net income as reported under GAAP.
“Consolidated Portfolio NOI” refers to the NOI that is generated from the properties that the Company has an ownership interest in and are held in the Company's Consolidated Portfolio business segment. Please also see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Certain Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of Consolidated Portfolio NOI to net income as reported under GAAP.
"Equity partners" refers to non-wholly-owned subsidiaries that are consolidated in the Company's financial statements under U.S. GAAP and third-party equity providers.
"Fee Bearing Capital" represents total third-party committed or invested capital that the Company manages in its joint-ventures, commingled funds and debt platform that entitle the Company to earn fees, including without limitation, asset management fees, construction management fees, acquisition and disposition fees and/or carried interest, if applicable.
"Gross Asset Value” refers to the gross carrying value of assets, before debt, depreciation and amortization, and net of noncontrolling interests.
“KWH,” "KW," “Kennedy Wilson,” the "Company," "we," "our," or "us" refers to Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the results of the Company's consolidated subsidiaries.
“KWE” refers to Kennedy Wilson Europe Real Estate Limited.
"Net operating income" or "NOI” is a non-GAAP measure representing the income produced by a property calculated by deducting certain property expenses from property revenues. The Company's management uses net operating income to assess and compare the performance of its properties and to estimate their fair value. Net operating income does not include the effects of depreciation or amortization or gains or losses from the sale of properties because the effects of those items do not necessarily represent the actual change in the value of the Company's properties resulting from its value-add initiatives or changing market conditions. Management believes that net operating income reflects the core revenues and costs of operating its properties and is better suited to evaluate trends in occupancy and lease rates. Please also see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Certain Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of Net Operating Income to net income as reported under GAAP and a reconciliation of Net Operating Income (Net Effective) (with respect to same property) to net income as reported under GAAP and a reconciliation of Net Operating Income (Net Effective) (with respect to same property) to net income as reported under GAAP.
"Noncontrolling interests" represents the portion of equity ownership in a consolidated subsidiary not attributable to Kennedy Wilson.
ii
“Performance allocations” relates to allocations to the Company of Kennedy Wilson's co-investments it invests in and manages based on the cumulative performance of the fund or investment vehicle, as applicable, and are subject to preferred return thresholds of the limited partners.
“Performance allocation compensation” - the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors approved and reserved between twenty percent (20%) and thirty-five percent (35%) of any performance allocation earned by certain commingled funds and separate account investments to be allocated to certain non-NEO employees of the Company.
“Principal co-investments” consists of the Company’s share of income or loss earned on investments in which the Company can exercise significant influence but does not have control. Income from unconsolidated investments includes income from ordinary course operations of the underlying investment, gains on sale, fair value gains and losses.
"Real Estate Assets under Management" ("AUM") generally refers to the properties and other assets with respect to which the Company provides (or participates in) oversight, investment management services and other advice, and which generally consist of real estate properties or loans, and investments in joint ventures. AUM is principally intended to reflect the extent of the Company's presence in the real estate market, not the basis for determining management fees. AUM consists of the total estimated fair value of the real estate properties and other real estate related assets either owned by third parties, wholly-owned by the Company or held by joint ventures and other entities in which its sponsored funds or investment vehicles and client accounts have invested. The estimated value of development properties is included at estimated completion cost. The accuracy of estimating fair value for investments cannot be determined with precision and cannot be substantiated by comparison to quoted prices in active markets and may not be realized in a current sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability (particularly given the ongoing macroeconomic conditions such as, but not limited to, elevated levels of inflation and interest rates, banks' ability and willingness to lend, recent adverse developments affecting regional banks and other financial institutions, currency fluctuations and ongoing military conflicts around the world, continue to fuel recessionary fears and create volatility in Kennedy Wilson's business results and operations). Recently, there has also been a lack of liquidity in the capital markets as well as limited transactions which has had an impact on the inputs associated with fair values. Additionally, there are inherent uncertainties in any fair value measurement technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including capitalization rates, discount rates, liquidity risks, and estimates of future cash flows could significantly affect the fair value measurement amounts. All valuations of real estate involve subjective judgments.
“Same property” refers to stabilized consolidated and unconsolidated properties in which Kennedy Wilson has an ownership interest during the entire span of both periods being compared. This analysis excludes properties that during the comparable periods (i) were acquired, (ii) were sold, (iii) are either under development or undergoing lease up or major repositioning as part of the Company’s asset management strategy, (iv) were investments in which the Company holds a minority ownership position, and (v) certain non-recurring income and expenses. The analysis only includes Office, Multifamily and Hotel properties, where applicable. To derive an appropriate measure of operating performance across the comparable periods, the Company removes the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the reported period-end exchange rate to translate from local currency into the U.S. dollar, for both periods. Amounts are calculated using Kennedy Wilson’s ownership share in the Company’s consolidated and unconsolidated properties. Management evaluates the performance of the operating properties the Company owns and manages using a “same property” analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, which allows management and investors to analyze (i) the Company’s ongoing business operations and (ii) the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating the Company’s properties and the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. Same property metrics are widely recognized measures in the real estate industry, however, other publicly-traded real estate companies may not calculate and report same property results in the same manner as the Company. Please also see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Certain Non-GAAP Measures and Reconciliations” for a reconciliation of “same property” results to the most comparable measure reported under GAAP.

NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (“KWH,” NYSE: KW), a Delaware corporation and its wholly owned and consolidated subsidiaries (collectively the "Company" or "Kennedy Wilson"), is a global real estate investment company. The Company owns, operates, and invests in real estate both on its own and through its investment management platform. The Company primarily focuses on multifamily and office properties, as well as industrial and debt investments in its Investment Management business in the Western United States, United Kingdom and Ireland. The Company also has a global debt platform primarily focused on construction lending secured by high-quality multifamily and student housing properties throughout the United States. The Company's operations are defined by two business segments; its Consolidated Portfolio and Co-Investment Portfolio. Investment activities in the Consolidated Portfolio involve ownership of real estate assets (primarily multifamily units). The Co-Investment Portfolio consists of (i) the co-investments in real estate and real estate-related assets, including loans secured by real estate, that we have made through the commingled funds and separate accounts that we manage; (ii) fees (including, without limitation, asset management fees, construction management fees, and/or acquisition and disposition fees); and (iii) performance allocations or carried interest that we earn on the Company's co-invested capital.
Kennedy Wilson's unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading. In the Company's opinion, all adjustments, consisting of only normal and recurring items, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 have been included. The results of operations for these periods are not necessarily indicative of results that might be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2024. For further information, your attention is directed to the footnote disclosures found in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Throughout these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements “Kennedy Wilson” is referenced, which is defined as the Company and its subsidiaries that are consolidated in its financial statements under U.S. GAAP. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In addition, throughout these unaudited interim consolidated financial statements, “equity partners” is referred to, which is defined as both the non-wholly owned subsidiaries that are consolidated in the Company's financial statements under U.S. GAAP and third-party equity partners.
Kennedy Wilson evaluates its relationships with other entities to identify whether they are variable interest entities ("VIEs") as defined in the Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 810-10, Consolidation, as amended by Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810) - Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, and to assess whether it is the primary beneficiary of such entities. If the determination is made that Kennedy Wilson is the primary beneficiary, then that entity is included in the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the ASC Subtopic 810-10.

(Unaudited)
Rental income from operating leases is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases. Hotel income is earned when rooms are occupied or goods and services have been delivered or rendered. Sales of real estate are recognized when title to the real property passes to the buyer and there is no continuing involvement in the real property.
Investment management fees are earned from limited partners of funds, co-investments, or separate accounts and are generally based on a fixed percentage of committed capital or net asset value. The Company provides investment management on investments it also has an ownership interest in. Fees earned on consolidated properties are eliminated in consolidation and fees on unconsolidated investments are eliminated for the portion that relate to the Company's ownership interest.
Investment management fees include acquisition, arrangement and disposition fees. Acquisition, arrangement and disposition fees are earned for identifying and closing investments on behalf of investors and are based on a fixed percentage of the acquisition or disposition price, as applicable. Acquisition and disposition fees are recognized upon the successful completion of an acquisition or disposition after all required services have been performed. The Company typically earns origination fees on loan originations in its debt platform business. The fees are earned when the loan closes and are recorded as part of investment management fees for the portion of the loan that the Company does not have an ownership interest in which is typically 95 % to 97.5 %. The remaining portion of the fee is deferred and accreted over the expected loan term through interest income.
Loan income from investments in performing loans which Kennedy Wilson originates or acquires are recognized at the stated interest rate plus any amortization of premiums/discounts or fees earned on the loans. Interest income from investments in loans acquired at a discount are recognized using the effective interest method. When a loan or loans are acquired with deteriorated credit quality primarily for the rewards of collateral ownership, such loans are accounted for as loans until Kennedy Wilson is in possession of the collateral. However, accrual of income is not recorded during the conversion period under ASC Subtopic 310-30-25, Receivables - Loans and Debt Securities Acquired with Deteriorated Credit Quality. Income is recognized to the extent that cash is received from the loan. The Company has evaluated its loan portfolio under ASC Subtopic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses for current expected credit losses ("CECL") reserves. CECL reserves reflect the Company's current estimate of potential credit losses related to loans included in the Company's consolidated balance sheets. Changes to the CECL reserve are recognized through interest income on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. While ASC Subtopic 326 does not require any particular method for determining the CECL reserve, it does specify the reserve should be based on relevant information about past events, including historical loss experience, current portfolio and market conditions.
Sales of real estate are recognized when title to the real property passes to the buyer and there is no continuing involvement in the real property. Under ASC Subtopic 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, the Company recognizes the entire gain attributed to contributions of real estate properties to unconsolidated entities.
Property services fees are earned from the Company's auction sales and marketing business and are recorded as part of the Other revenue line item on the Company's statement of operations. In the case of auction and real estate sales commissions, the revenue is generally recognized when escrow closes. In accordance with the guidelines established for Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent in ASC Topic 606, Kennedy Wilson records commission revenues and expenses on a gross basis. Of the criteria listed in ASC Topic 606, Kennedy Wilson is the primary obligor in the transaction, does not have inventory risk, performs all or part of the service and has wide latitude in establishing the price of services rendered and discretion in selection of agents and determination of service specifications.

Kennedy Wilson elected the fair value option for 72 investments in unconsolidated investment entities ("FV Option" investments). Due to the nature of these investments, Kennedy Wilson elected to record these investments at fair value in order to report the change in value in the underlying investments in the results of our current operations.
Additionally, Kennedy Wilson records its investments in commingled funds it manages and sponsors (the "Funds") that are investment companies under ASC Topic 946, Financial Services - Investment Companies, based upon the net assets that would be allocated to its interests in the Funds assuming the Funds were to liquidate their investments at fair value as of the reporting date. Thus, the Funds reflect their investments at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in fair value reflected in their earnings.
Performance allocations or carried interest are allocated to the general partner, special limited partner or asset manager of Kennedy Wilson's real estate funds based on the cumulative performance of the fund and are subject to preferred return thresholds of the limited partners. At the end of each reporting period, Kennedy Wilson calculates the performance allocation that would be due as if the fair value of the underlying investments were realized as of such date, irrespective of whether such amounts have been realized. As the fair value of underlying investments varies between reporting periods, it is necessary to make adjustments to amounts recorded as performance allocation to reflect either (a) positive performance resulting in an increase in the performance allocation to the general partner or asset manager or (b) negative performance that would cause the amount due to Kennedy Wilson to be less than the amount previously recorded as income from unconsolidated investments, resulting in a negative adjustment to performance allocations to the general partner or asset manager. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has $60.9 million of accrued performance allocations recorded to unconsolidated investments that are subject to future adjustments based on the underlying performance of investments.
The Company has concluded that performance allocations to the Company from equity method investments, based on cumulative performance to-date, represent carried interests. Consequently, in following the guidance set forth in ASC Topic 606 and ASC Topic 323, these allocations are included as a component of the total income from unconsolidated investments in the accompanying consolidated statements of income.

necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments. The use of different market assumptions or estimation methodologies may have a material impact on the estimated fair value amounts.
Investment level debt is generally incurred in local currencies. Fluctuations in foreign exchanges rates may have a significant impact on the results of the Company's operations. In order to manage currency fluctuations, Kennedy Wilson entered into currency derivative contracts to manage its exposure to currency fluctuations between its functional currency (U.S. dollar) and the functional currency (euro and the British pound) of certain of its wholly-owned and consolidated subsidiaries. KWE has also entered into currency derivative contracts to manage its exposure to euro to British pound currency fluctuations. See Note 5 for a more detailed discussion of Kennedy Wilson's currency derivative contracts.
For information regarding accounting standards that the Company adopted during the periods presented, see note 2 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. The Company did not adopt any new accounting standards during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The FASB did not issue any other ASUs during the first three months of 2024 that the Company expects to be applicable and have a material impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

Consolidated Acquisitions
The purchase of property is recorded to land, buildings, building improvements, and intangible lease value (including the value of above-market and below-market leases, acquired in-place lease values, and tenant relationships, if any) based on their respective estimated relative fair values. The purchase price generally approximates the fair value of the properties as acquisitions are transacted with willing third-party sellers.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Kennedy Wilson did not acquire any consolidated properties.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate, Net
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Kennedy Wilson recognized gains on sale of real estate, net of $106.4 million. These gains were primarily due to (i) the Company's sale of the Shelbourne hotel located in Dublin, Ireland, resulting in a gain of $99.1 million; (ii) the sale of a building that is a part of a larger office park resulting in a gain of $21.6 million; and (iii) the remainder of gain on sale of real estate relates to the sale of non-core retail in the United Kingdom. The gain on sale of real estate, net includes an impairment loss of $14.3 million relating to non-core office and retail buildings in the United Kingdom and Spain that were marketed for sale during such period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Kennedy Wilson recognized gains on sale of real estate, net of $19.2 million from the sale of one non-core retail asset in Southern California, six non-core retail assets in the United Kingdom, one residential asset in Hawaii, and one non-core Ireland office asset. The gains on sale of real estate, net include an impairment loss of $6.2 million relating to non-core retail buildings in the United Kingdom and a non-core retail property in the Western United States that are being marketed for sale.
Leases
The Company leases its operating properties to customers under agreements that are classified as operating leases. The total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term unless circumstances indicate revenue should be recognized on a cash basis. The majority of the Company's rental expenses, including common area maintenance and real estate taxes and insurance on commercial properties, are recovered from the Company's tenants. The Company records amounts reimbursed by customers in the period that the applicable expenses are incurred, which is generally ratably throughout the term of the lease. The reimbursements are recognized in rental income in the consolidated statements of operations as the Company is the primary obligor with respect to purchasing and selecting goods and services from third-party vendors and bearing the associated credit risk.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded fair value increases from non-cash fair value gains relating to the completion of a merger by the entity that holds the Company's ownership interest in Zonda. Zonda is a technology based real estate business that offers residential construction data providing insights and solutions for leaders in the home building industry. This fair value gain was offset by non-cash fair value losses on: (i) office properties in Western United States, Ireland and United Kingdom due to cap rate expansion and (ii) non-cash fair value losses on mortgage debt as previous non-cash fair value gains unwind as loans move closer to their respective maturity dates.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a $16.4 million decrease in the accrual for performance allocations primarily related to the fair value decreases that we recorded with respect to office properties in one of our Western United States commingled funds as described above.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded fair value increases with respect to: (i) recorded fair value increases with respect to our investment in Vintage Housing Holdings ("VHH") (our affordable rate multifamily platform) due to gains on the conversion of the status of one of VHH’s largest properties from development to operating and gains associated with the conversion of the loan secured by such property from a floating rate construction loan to a long-term fixed rate mortgage (the rate of which was set in 2019); (ii) recorded fair value increases on certain of our development projects located in Dublin, Ireland as we are near completion in such projects; and (iii) foreign exchange movements, net of any foreign exchange hedges as the euro and pound sterling strengthened against the dollar. These fair value increases were offset by (i) certain office properties in one of our existing commingled funds due to cap rate expansion, which also led to us recording a decrease of the accrued performance allocations with respect to such fund as discussed below; (ii) certain market rate multifamily properties in the Western United States and Ireland and our European industrial assets because of increased interest rates leading to cap rate expansion; (iii) certain secured mortgage debt and interest rate derivatives due to a slight decline in the equivalent fixed rates and time decay in the current period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a $10.7 million decrease in the accrual for performance allocations primarily related to the fair value decreases that we recorded with respect to one of our commingled funds as described above. These decreases were offset by an increase in performance allocations on our European commingled fund due to the increase in value associated with an investment held by such fund. There is no performance allocation structure that we benefit from with respect to our investment in VHH.
Vintage Housing Holdings
As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value of the Company's investment in VHH was $285.0 million and $285.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 VHH had distributions of $3.8 million and equity income pickup of $3.2 million which, included $0.7 million relating to fair value adjustments.

Unconsolidated Investments
Kennedy Wilson elected to use the fair value option for 72 unconsolidated investments to more accurately reflect the timing of the value created in the underlying investments and report those results in current operations. Kennedy Wilson's investment balance in the FV Option investments was $1,803.0 million and $1,793.9 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which is included in unconsolidated investments in the accompanying balance sheets.
Additionally, Kennedy Wilson records its investments in the Funds based upon the net assets that would be allocated to its interests in the Funds, assuming the Funds were to liquidate their investments at fair value as of the reporting date. Kennedy Wilson’s investment balance in the Funds was $114.6 million and $133.1 million at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which is included in unconsolidated investments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. See Note 4 for more information on the fluctuations for these investments.
In estimating fair value of real estate held by the Funds and the 72 FV Option investments, the Company considers significant unobservable inputs to be the capitalization and discount rates.

Unobservable Inputs for Real Estate
The Company accounts for a number of unconsolidated investments under fair value, the accuracy of estimating fair value cannot be determined with precision and cannot be substantiated by comparison to quoted prices in active markets and may not be realized in a current sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Recently, there has also been a lack of liquidity in the capital markets as well as limited transactions which has had impact on the inputs associated with fair values.
15
Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
Additionally, there are inherent uncertainties in any fair value measurement technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including market-derived estimated capitalization rates, discount rates, liquidity risks, and estimates of future cash flows could significantly affect the fair value measurement amounts. All valuations of real estate involve subjective judgments.
Ongoing macroeconomic conditions, such as, but not limited to, elevated levels of inflation and interest rates, banks' ability and willingness to lend, recent adverse developments affecting regional banks and other financial institutions, currency fluctuations and the ongoing military conflicts around the world, continue to fuel recessionary fears and create volatility in our business results and operations. Any prolonged downturn in the financial markets or a recession, either globally or locally in the United States or in other countries in which we conduct business, could impact the fair value of investments held by the Company. As a result of the rapid development, fluidity and uncertainty surrounding these situations, the Company expects that information with respect to fair value measurement may change, potentially significantly, going forward and may not be indicative of the actual impact on our business, operations, cash flows and financial condition for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and future periods.
In determining estimated fair market values, the Company utilizes two approaches to value real estate, a discounted cash flow analysis and direct capitalization approach.
Discounted cash flow models estimate future cash flows from a buyer's perspective (including terminal values) and compute a present value using a market discount rate. The holding period in the analysis is typically ten years. This is consistent with how market participants often estimate values in connection with buying real estate but these holding periods can be shorter depending on the life of the structure an investment is held within. The cash flows include a projection of the net sales proceeds at the end of the holding period, computed using a market reversionary capitalization rate.
Under the direct capitalization approach, the Company applies a market derived capitalization rate to current and future income streams with appropriate adjustments for tenant vacancies or rent-free periods. These capitalization rates and future income streams are derived from comparable property and leasing transactions and are considered to be key inputs in the valuation. Other factors that are taken into consideration include tenancy details, planning, building and environmental factors that might affect the property.
The Company also utilizes valuations from independent real estate appraisal firms on some of its investments ("appraised valuations"), with certain investment structures requiring appraised valuations periodically (typically annually). All appraised valuations are reviewed and approved by the Company.
The table below describes the range of unobservable inputs for real estate assets as of March 31, 2024:
| Estimated Rates Used for | ||||||||||||||
| Capitalization Rates | Discount Rates | |||||||||||||
| Multifamily | Income approach - discounted cash flow | |||||||||||||

In valuing indebtedness, the Company considers significant inputs such as the term of the debt, value of collateral, credit quality of investment entities and market interest rates and spreads as well as market loan-to-value ratios relative to the Company's debt instruments. The credit spreads used by Kennedy Wilson to value floating rate indebtedness range from 2.00 % to 4.60 %, while the market rates used to value fixed rate indebtedness range from 4.6 % to 9.3 %.
There is no active secondary market for the Company's development projects and no readily available market value given the uncertainty of the amount and timing of future cash flows. Accordingly, its determination of fair value of its development projects requires judgment and extensive use of estimates. Therefore, the Company typically uses investment cost
16
Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
as the estimated fair value until future cash flows become more predictable. Additionally, the fair value of its development projects may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that the Company may ultimately realize. If the Company were required to liquidate an investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize significantly less than the value at which the Company have recorded it. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the currently assigned valuations.
Currency Derivative Contracts
Kennedy Wilson uses foreign currency derivative contracts such as forward contracts and options to manage its foreign currency risk exposure against the effects of a portion of its certain non-U.S. dollar denominated currency net investments. Foreign currency options are valued using a variant of the Black-Scholes model tailored for currency derivatives and the foreign currency forward contracts are valued based on the difference between the contract rate and the forward rate at maturity of the underlying currency applied to the notional value in the underlying currency discounted at a market rate for similar risks. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its currency derivative contracts fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the counterparty risk adjustments associated with the currency derivative contracts utilize Level 3 inputs. However, as of March 31, 2024, Kennedy Wilson assessed the significance of the impact of the counterparty valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and determined that the counterparty valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivative. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuation in its entirety be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Changes in fair value are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) on the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income as the portion of the currency forward and option contracts used to hedge currency exposure of its certain consolidated subsidiaries qualifies as a net investment hedge under ASC Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Changes in fair value on hedges associated with investments that are held at fair value are recorded through principal co-investments within income from unconsolidated investments. The Company has elected to amortize the spot to forward difference ("forward points") to interest expense over the contractual life of the hedges. On hedges associated with fair value investments the forward point amortization to interest expense is recorded as a component of principal co-investments.
The fair value of the currency derivative contracts held as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are reported in other assets for hedge assets and included in accrued expenses and other liabilities for hedge liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

(3) Excludes deferred tax expense of $0.8 million relating to activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Also excludes $0.7 million of hedge gains and $0.6 million of deferred tax expense that were reclassified out of other comprehensive income.
The gains recorded through other comprehensive income (loss) will remain in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying investments that they were hedging are substantially liquidated by Kennedy Wilson. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company reclassified a loss of $8.7 million from other comprehensive income to gain on sale of real estate relating to the sale of the Shelbourne hotel which consisted of $9.5 million loss associated with foreign currency translation adjustments and a $0.8 million gain on hedges that had been previously recognized to other comprehensive income.
The currency derivative contracts discussed above are offset by foreign currency translation of the Company's foreign net assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, Kennedy Wilson had a gross foreign currency translation loss on its net assets of $17.4 million. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has hedged 96 % of the net asset carrying value of its euro denominated investments and 93 % of the net asset carrying value of its GBP denominated investments. See Note 11 for a complete discussion on other comprehensive income including currency derivative contracts and foreign currency translations.
Interest Rate Swaps and Caps
The Company has interest rate swaps and caps to hedge its exposure to rising interest rates. Changes in the value of interest rate swaps and caps that are undesignated are recorded to other income and had fair value gains of $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Some of the Company's unconsolidated investments have interest rate caps, which resulted in a $2.3 million gain recorded in principal co-investments. Changes in the value of interest rate swaps and caps that are undesignated are recorded to other income and had fair value losses of $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Some of the Company's unconsolidated investments have interest rate caps, which resulted in a $3.1 million loss through principal co-investments for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable including related party receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, accrued salaries and benefits, and deferred and accrued income taxes approximate fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying value of loans (excluding related party loans as they are presumed not to be an arm’s length transaction) approximates fair value as the terms are similar to loans with similar characteristics available in the market.
Debt liabilities are accounted for at face value plus net unamortized debt premiums/discounts and any fair value adjustments as part of business combinations. The fair value as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 for the mortgage debt, Kennedy Wilson unsecured debt, and KWE unsecured bonds were estimated to be approximately $4.8 billion and $4.8 billion, respectively, based on a comparison of the yield that would be required in a current transaction, taking into consideration the risk of the underlying collateral and the Company's credit risk to the current yield of a similar security, compared to their carrying value of $5.3 billion and $5.3 billion at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The inputs used to value the Company's mortgage debt, Kennedy Wilson unsecured debt, and KWE unsecured bonds are based on observable inputs for similar assets and quoted prices in markets that are not active and are therefore determined to be Level 2 inputs.
NOTE 6—LOANS
The global debt platform consists of two groups: our construction lending portfolio, which was established with the acquisition of pool of construction loans from Pacific Western Bank in the second quarter of 2023 and our bridge loan portfolio.
The construction lending portfolio has a current outstanding balance of $2.6 billion (Kennedy Wilson share of $126.0 million), not including the 4.5 % discount on gross commitment amounts from the time of purchase. As of March 31, 2024, we had unfulfilled capital commitments totaling $92.2 million to our loan portfolio.

(1) The KWE unsecured bonds balances include unamortized debt discounts. Debt discounts represent the difference between the fair value of debt at issuance and the principal value of debt and are amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt in a manner that approximates the effective interest method. The net unamortized discount as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 was $0.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
As of March 31, 2024, KWE has senior unsecured notes for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $512.8 million (based on March 31, 2024 rates) (€475 million) (the "KWE Notes"). The KWE Notes were issued at a discount and have a carrying value of $511.9 million, with an annual fixed coupon of 3.25 % and mature in November 2025. As KWE invested proceeds from the KWE Notes to fund equity investments in euro denominated assets, KWE designated the KWE Notes as net investment hedges under ASC Topic 815. Subsequent fluctuations in foreign currency rates that impact the carrying value of the KWE Notes are recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, Kennedy Wilson recorded a gain of $7.0 million in other comprehensive income due to the weakening of the euro against the GBP during the period.
The trust deed that governs the bonds contains various restrictive covenants for KWE, including, among others, limitations on KWE’s and its material subsidiaries’ ability to provide certain negative pledges. The trust deed limits the ability of KWE and its subsidiaries to incur additional indebtedness if, on the date of such incurrence and after giving effect to the incurrence of the new indebtedness, (1) KWE’s consolidated net indebtedness (as defined in the trust deed) would exceed 60 % of KWE’s total assets (as calculated pursuant to the terms of the trust deed); and (2) KWE’s consolidated secured indebtedness (as defined in the trust deed) would exceed 50 % of KWE’s total assets (as calculated pursuant to the terms of the trust deed). The trust deed also requires KWE, as of each reporting date, to maintain an interest coverage ratio (as defined in the trust deed) of at least 1.50 to 1.00 and have unencumbered assets of no less than 125 % of its unsecured indebtedness (as defined in the trust deed).

NOTE 14—INCOME TAXES
The Company derives a significant portion of its income from the rental and sale of real property. As a result, a substantial portion of its foreign earnings is subject to U.S. taxation under certain provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("IRC"), applicable to controlled foreign corporations (known as the "Subpart F rules"). In determining the quarterly provisions for income taxes, the Company calculates income tax expense based on actual year-to-date income and statutory tax rates. The year-to-date income tax expense reflects the impact of foreign operations and income allocated to noncontrolling interests which is generally not subject to corporate tax.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company generated pre-tax book income of $64.4 million related to its global operations and recorded a tax provision of $26.7 million. The tax expense for the period is above the U.S. statutory tax rate. Significant items impacting the quarterly tax provision include: increase in valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax asset on the outside basis difference of its investment in KWE and tax charges associated with non-deductible executive compensation under IRC Section 162(m). During the period, the Company's net deferred tax asset (and associated valuation allowance) related to its excess tax basis in legacy European real estate assets increased as a result of KWE realizing higher taxable income than book income on the disposition of real estate and impairment losses not recognized for tax.

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. See the discussion under the heading “Forward-looking Statements” elsewhere in this report. Unless specifically noted otherwise, as used throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis section, “we,” “our,” "us," "the Company" or “Kennedy Wilson” refers to Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. “Equity partners” refers to third-party equity providers and non-wholly-owned subsidiaries that we consolidate in our financial statements under U.S. GAAP. Please refer to “Non-GAAP Measures and Certain Definitions” for definitions of certain terms used throughout this Management’s Discussion and Analysis Section.
Year to Date Highlights
•For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had net income attributable to Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. common shareholders of $26.9 million as compared to a net loss attributable to Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. common shareholders of $40.8 million for the same period in 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 we had Adjusted EBITDA of $203.2 million as compared to $90.9 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in net income attributable to Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. common shareholders is primarily due to gain on sale of real estate generated from the sale of the Shelbourne hotel and an office building that is part of an office park in Issaquah, Washington. There were additional increases in interest income and recurring management fees earned on our debt platform due to the acquisition of the construction loan platform in second quarter of 2023. These increases were offset by lower non-cash fair value gains and performance allocation reversals during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior period.
•In our Co-Investment portfolio, we had $7.8 million of realized operating results and recorded non-cash fair value gains of $1.9 million and unrealized performance allocation declines of $16.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $14.0 million of realized operating performance and $2.4 million of non-cash fair value gains and unrealized performance allocation decreases of $10.7 million during the same period in 2023. We had a $15.3 million non-cash fair value gain on our investment in Zonda which closed a merger transaction in the quarter. We had fair value losses and performance allocation write downs relating to cap rate expansion on office properties in the Western United States, Ireland and United Kingdom. These declines lead to the reversal of previously accrued performance allocations in our commingled funds. Operating results declined due to losses at our hotel in Kona, Hawaii as it works towards stabilizing occupancy. The hotel was not in service in the first quarter of 2023 and any costs associated with the property were capitalized as it was still under development during such period.
Company Overview
We are a global real estate investment company that (i) invests in, owns, operates and develops high-quality real estate and real estate-related assets, with a focus on multifamily properties (both market rate and affordable units) and industrial properties and (ii) originates and manages real estate loans, which consists primarily of real estate construction loans secured by high-quality multifamily and student housing properties that are being developed by high-quality institutional sponsors throughout the United States. Our investment activities are conducted both, on our own and through our investment management platform, across growing markets in the Western United States, the United Kingdom and Ireland with the objective of generating strong long-term risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders and partners. Our growing investment management platform generated a total of $21.3 million of investment management fees during the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which represents a growth of 94% quarter-over-quarter. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our 250 employees, managed a total of $24.5 billion of Real Estate Assets Under Management ("AUM"), which includes 38,282 multifamily units (including 4,112 market rate and affordable rate units under lease up or in process of being developed and 10,367 stabilized affordable and/or age-restricted units in our growing Vintage Housing Holdings ("VHH" platform), 11.5 million industrial square feet, $5.1 billion of real estate debt under our global debt platform, 10.8 million office square feet and 2.9 million retail square feet (including 2.5 million square feet under lease up or in process of being developed), and $1.5 billion of development and residential and other.
As of March 31, 2024, the $23.0 billion of operating properties within our AUM produced total revenue of $473.0 million (KW's share of which was $187.3 million) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $20.2 billion of operating properties with total revenue of $373.9 million (KW's share of which was $178.1 million) during the same period in 2023. Our global team, located in offices throughout the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland and Spain, also managed the consummation of $94.2 million of gross acquisitions (KW share of 7.6%) and originated $719 million of construction loans (KW share of 2.5%) which will fund at future dates and funded $210 million (KW share of 5%) on previously originated loans. We had $356.9 million of gross dispositions and $56.5 million of loan repayments (KW's ownership interest of 97.0% and 5%) during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
35
Our global real estate portfolio is primarily comprised of multifamily communities (62%), commercial properties (31%), loans (7%) and hotel (-1%) based upon our share of NOI. The Western United States represents 64% of our portfolio, with a focus on the Mountain West region, our largest global region which includes our investments in Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico. We also invest in the Pacific Northwest, including the state of Washington, and Northern and Southern California. In Europe, our portfolio is focused in Ireland (20% of total NOI) and the United Kingdom (13% of total NOI). NOI amounts above exclude estimated NOI from our development properties which will increase our NOI as construction is completed and they are leased up. Please refer to the Development and Redevelopment section for more detail on the development pipeline and status of projects.
Our business is comprised of two segments.
Our Consolidated Portfolio (as defined below) includes primarily wholly-owned multifamily communities, office and retail properties, and one hotel. Our ownership interests in such consolidated properties make up our Consolidated Portfolio ("Consolidated Portfolio") business segment as discussed in detail throughout this report.
In addition to investing our shareholder's capital, we invest capital on behalf of our partners in real estate and real estate related assets through our Co-Investment Portfolio ("Co-Investment Portfolio"). This fee-bearing capital represents total third-party committed or invested capital that we manage in our joint ventures and commingled funds that entitle us to earn fees, including without limitation, asset management fees, construction management fees, acquisition and disposition fees. As of March 31, 2024, our fee-bearing capital was $8.6 billion and we recognized $21.3 million in base investment management fees and a write down of $16.4 million of performance allocations (allocated amounts to us on co-investments we managed based on the cumulative performance of the underlying investment) during the three months ended March 31, 2024. We generally invest our own capital alongside our equity partners in these joint ventures and commingled funds that we manage.

(1)Includes amounts for properties that are stabilized, under development and unstabilized.
In our Co-Investment Portfolio, 93% of our carrying value is accounted for at fair value. Our interests in such joint ventures and commingled funds and the fees that we earn from such vehicles make up our Co-Investment Portfolio segment as discussed in detail throughout this report.
In addition to our income-producing real estate, we also engage in development, redevelopment and value add initiatives through which we enhance cash flows or reposition assets to increase value. Our total share of development project costs with respect to these investments are estimated at $84.0 million over the next two years. These costs are generally financed by cash from our balance sheet, capital provided by partners (if applicable), cash flows from investment and construction loans. Cost overrun risks are reduced by detailed architectural plans, guaranteed price contracts and supervision by expert Company executives and personnel. When completed, the construction loans are generally replaced by long-term mortgage financing. See additional detail in the section titled Development and Redevelopment below.
Investment Approach
The following is our investment approach:
•Identify countries and markets with an attractive investment landscape
•Establish operating platforms in our target markets
•Develop local intelligence and create and maintain long-lasting relationships, primarily with financial institutions and the brokerage community
36
•Leverage relationships and local knowledge to drive proprietary investment opportunities with a focus on off-market transactions that we expect will result in above average cash flows and returns over the long term
•Acquire high quality assets, either on our own or through investment management platform with strategic partners
•Reposition assets to enhance cash flows post-acquisition
•Explore development opportunities or acquire development assets that fit within our overall investment strategy
•Continuously evaluate and selectively harvest asset and entity value through strategic realizations using both the public and private markets
In order to help the user of the financial statements understand our company, we have included certain five-year selected financial data. The following table shows selected financial items for the three months ended March 31, 2024 dating back to 2020.

Business Segments
As briefly described above, our operations are defined by two business segments: our Consolidated Portfolio and our Co-Investment Portfolio.
•Our Consolidated Portfolio consists of the investments in real estate and real estate-related assets that we have made and consolidate on our balance sheet. We typically wholly-own the assets in our Consolidated Portfolio.
•Our Co-Investment Portfolio consists of (i) the co-investments in real estate and real estate-related assets, including loans secured by real estate, that we have made through the commingled funds and joint ventures that we manage; (ii) fees (including, without limitation, asset management fees and construction management fees, and/or acquisition and disposition fees); and (iii) performance allocations. We typically have a 5% to 50% ownership interest in the assets in our Co-Investment Portfolio. We have a weighted average ownership in our Co-Investment Portfolio assets of 40% as of March 31, 2024.
In addition to our two primary business segments, our Corporate segment includes, among other things, our corporate overhead and our auction group.
Consolidated Portfolio
Our Consolidated Portfolio is a permanent capital vehicle focused on maximizing property cash flow. These assets are primarily wholly-owned and tend to have longer hold periods and we target investments with accretive asset management opportunities.
The non-GAAP table below represents a summarized balance sheet of our Consolidated Portfolio, which is held at historical depreciated cost as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. This table does not include amounts from our corporate segment such as corporate cash and the KWI Notes.

Separate accounts
We have several equity partners for whom we act as the general partner and receive investment management fees and performance allocations, including asset management, acquisition, disposition, financing, construction management, and other fees. In addition to acting as the asset manager and general partner of those joint ventures, we are also a co-investor in these properties. Our separate account platforms have defined investment parameters such as asset types, leverage and return profiles and expected hold periods. As of March 31, 2024, our weighted average ownership interest in the various joint ventures that we manage was 45%.
Commingled funds
We currently have investments in four closed end funds that we manage and receive investment management fees. We focus on sourcing investors in the U.S., Europe and Middle East and investments in the U.S. and Europe with respect to our commingled funds. Each of our funds have, among other things, defined investment guidelines, investment hold periods and target returns. Currently our three U.S. based funds focus on value-add properties that
39
have an expected hold period of 5 to 7 years. Our European fund focuses on value-add commercial properties in the United Kingdom, Ireland and Spain that also have expected hold periods of 5 to 7 years. As of March 31, 2024, our weighted average ownership interest in the commingled funds that we manage was 13%.
VHH
Through our Vintage Housing Holdings ("VHH") partnership we acquire and develop income and age restricted properties. See a detailed discussion of this business in the Multifamily section below.
Investment Types
The following are the product types we invest in through our Consolidated Portfolio and Co-Investment Portfolio segments:
Multifamily
We pursue multifamily acquisition opportunities where we can unlock and enhance asset value through a myriad of strategies, including institutional management, asset renovation and rehabilitation, repositioning and creative recapitalization. We focus primarily on apartment communities in supply-constrained, infill markets.
Our global multifamily portfolio has 38,282 units as of March 31, 2024, consisting of 34,170 stabilized units and 4,112 units that are undergoing lease up or are in the process of being developed.
As of March 31, 2024, we hold ownership interests in 152 assets that include 10,192 consolidated market rate multifamily apartment units, 16,119 market rate units within our Co-Investment Portfolio and 11,971 affordable units in our VHH platform. The unit counts above include units that are unstabilized and undergoing development. Our largest Western United States multifamily regions are the Mountain West region (which includes our investments in Idaho, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico) and the Pacific Northwest (primarily the state of Washington). The remainder of the Western United States portfolio is located in Northern and Southern California. In Ireland we focus on Dublin city center and the suburbs of the city.
Our asset management strategy entails installing strong property management teams to drive leasing activity and upkeep of the properties. We also add amenities designed to promote health and wellness, celebrate local and cultural events and enhance the lives of residents living in our communities. We also incorporate spaces for rest and socialization across our global multifamily portfolio, including clubhouses, fitness centers, business suites, outdoor play areas, pools and dog parks. Lastly, we utilize real-time market data and artificial intelligence based applications to ensure we are attaining current market rents.
Multifamily - Affordable Housing
Through our VHH platform we focus on affordable units based on income and in some cases age restrictions. With homes reserved for residents that make 50% to 60% of the area’s median income, VHH provides an affordable long-term solution for qualifying working families and active senior citizens, coupled with modern amenities that are a hallmark of our traditional multifamily portfolio. Fundamental to VHH’s success is a shared commitment to delivering quality affordable homes and building communities that enrich residents’ lives, including providing programs such as social support groups, after-school programs, transportation assistance, computer training, and wellness classes.
We hold an approximate 50% interest in VHH which acts as the general partner (developer/asset manager) of 57 affordable housing projects totaling 11,971 units (including 14 investments held without a tax credit investor (“tax credit limited partner”), and 43 investments held with a tax credit limited partner). Included in the portfolio are 10,367 operating units and 1,604 units that are under development or lease up. When we acquired VHH in 2015, the portfolio consisted of a total of 5,485 units. These units are included in our multifamily unit count discussed throughout this report.
With respect to the assets that are held with tax credit limited partners ("LPs"), VHH generally sells 99.9% of the legal ownership interest in the applicable asset to the tax credit LPs, in exchange for cash that is used to build and/or rehabilitate the property. Although legal ownership interests in these assets are sold to the tax credit LPs, VHH continues to receive a majority of the cash flow generated from these assets through deferred developer fees and other fee arrangements and profits splits agreed to between VHH and the tax credit LPs (a structure which is commonly used by peer companies with similar businesses). This results in VHH maintaining on average 75% of the economic ownership interests in the assets throughout the portfolio.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we received $2.4 million of proceeds from VHH from recurring monthly distributions. On a trailing 12-month basis, we have received $64.0 million of proceeds from VHH,
40
including $10.3 million from recurring monthly distributions, $5.4 million from paid developer fees at conversion and $48.2 million from sales and refinancings.
Further, on properties where tax credits are sold, VHH typically utilizes tax-exempt bond financing to help finance its partnership investments. Typical financing includes a bridge to permanent financing solution, where a floating rate option is utilized during the construction and lease-up period and a permanent loan with a fixed rate locked at the time of closing becomes effective upon conversion/stabilization. The typical term for these loan facilities is 17 years.
We acquired our ownership interest in VHH in 2015 for approximately $80.0 million. As of March 31, 2024 we have contributed an additional $157.6 million into VHH and have received $357.3 million in cash distributions. VHH is an unconsolidated investment that we account for using the fair value option which had a carrying value of $285.0 million as of March 31, 2024. Since our acquisition in 2015, we have recorded $320.6 million worth of fair value gains on our investment in VHH, including $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The value of our investment in VHH is determined through several approaches including a discounted cash flow analysis on a partnership-by-partnership basis that factors in the distinct economic splits between VHH and its tax credit partners (where applicable). This methodology assumes ordinary distributions and future sale of the underlying property after the tax credit period has expired. The average cap rates assumed at sale range from 6.25% - 7.20% with discount rates ranging from 8.75% - 9.70%. Additionally, the value of our investment in VHH is also corroborated through applying multiples to VHH’s various streams of annual cash flows using public company peer multiples for recurring free cash flow (ordinary distributions) and promote (paid developer fees) and total cash flow. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the various valuation methodologies produced results that are within a 5% range.
Commercial
Our industrial portfolio is a key focus for new investments in our Co-Investment portfolio. Our current industrial portfolio consists mainly of last mile distribution centers located in the United Kingdom, Ireland and the Mountain West and Northern California regions of the United States.
In our Consolidated Portfolio our office assets are typically large high-quality properties with high replacement costs. For office properties in our Co-Investment portfolio, we have a range of assets from suburban offices to office buildings located in central business districts of major cities. Some of our offices consist of flex space for medical lab work or light industrial use and many of our offices focus on tenants in the tech sector.
Our retail portfolio consists of suburban shopping centers with assets in the United Kingdom as well as Dublin, Madrid and Western United States.
As of March 31, 2024, we hold investments in 53 office properties totaling over 10.8 million square feet, 116 industrial properties totaling 11.5 million square feet and 12 retail properties totaling 2.9 million square feet predominately in the United Kingdom and Ireland, with additional investments in the Pacific Northwest, Southern California, Spain and Italy. Our Consolidated portfolio held over 4.3 million square feet of office space and 1.4 million square feet of retail space. Our Co-Investment Portfolio has 6.5 million square feet of office space, 11.5 million square feet of industrial space and 1.5 million square feet of retail space. Please also see Other Items below for a discussion of certain commercial investments.
Real Estate Debt
We have a global debt platform with multiple partners that has a total current capacity of $12.1 billion with $7.3 billion currently invested or committed to future fundings as of March 31, 2024. Our global debt platform, which includes partners across insurance and sovereign wealth funds, invests across the entire real estate debt capital structure in the United States, United Kingdom and Europe and targets loans secured by high-quality real estate located in such jurisdictions. In our role as asset manager, we earn customary fees for managing the platform. Currently, our global debt platform investments have been made without the use of any leverage and are invested through our Co-Investment Portfolio.
The Construction Loan Portfolio consists of variable rate loans that are predominantly secured by high-quality multifamily and student housing properties with the remainder consisting of industrial, hotel, and life science assets. Construction loans typically finance from 50% to 60% of the cost to construct the underlying properties. The terms are generally three years with short-term, performance-based extension options. Interest typically accrues into principal balance during the construction period, with principal and interest being paid at maturity. The bridge loan portfolio consists of predominantly variable rate loans, with terms that are generally three-years with one or two 12 month extension options. Our bridge loans are secured by multifamily, office, retail, industrial and hotel assets in the
41
Western United States or United Kingdom. We also invest in certain mezzanine loans that are fixed rate and tend to have maturities of 5 to 10 years and are secured by office or multifamily properties in the Western United States.
As of March 31, 2024, we held interests in 109 loans, 78% that have floating interest rates, located in the United States and the United Kingdom, with an average interest rate to Kennedy Wilson of 8.4% per annum and an unpaid principal balance ("UPB") of $5.1 billion of real estate debt (of which our share was a UPB of $271.0 million). Some of our loans contain additional funding commitments that will increase our loan balances if they are utilized. As of March 31, 2024, our loans had unfulfilled capital commitments totaling $2.3 billion (our share of which was $92.2 million). In addition to interest income (which includes origination, exit and extension fees), we also earn customary asset management fees from our partners for managing these loan investments.
As a result of market conditions, we expect more opportunities to arise in acquiring loan portfolios at a discount from their contractual balance due. We underwrite such loan portfolios based on the value of the underlying real estate collateral. Due to the discounted purchase price for such loans, we seek, and are generally able to, accomplish near term realization of the loan in a cash settlement or by obtaining title to the property. Due to certain prevailing market conditions or other circumstance on a case by case basis, we have and may stop accruing for interest income if loans become non-performing and account for loans on a cash basis. In the event of a borrower defaulting on its obligations under any loan agreement, we will explore all options of recouping our loan investments including, without limitation, pursuing a foreclosure action to take control of the underlying collateral securing the loans, although there is no guarantee or assurance that we will be able to do so successfully. We have three loans out of the 109 loans in our global debt platform with a $16.0 million carrying value at our share and net of any loan reserves that are not paying interest current on a contractual basis. Per the terms of the applicable loan agreements, however, we have implemented a full cash sweep of any cash flow that is generated from the collateral and are working on exercising our available remedies. We are no longer accruing interest under these loans and accounting for them on a cash basis going forward.
Development and Redevelopment
We have a number of development, redevelopment and entitlement projects that are underway or in the planning stages. Unlike the residential projects that are held for sale and described in Residential and Other section below, these initiatives may ultimately result in income-producing assets. As of March 31, 2024, we have 1,106 multifamily units we are actively developing. If these projects are brought to completion, our estimated share of the total capitalization of these projects would be approximately $281.0 million (approximately 80% of which has already been funded), which we expect would be funded through our existing equity, third party equity, project sales, tax credit financing and secured debt financing. This represents total capital over the life of the projects and is not a representation of peak capital and it does not take into account any distributions over the course of the investment. We and our equity partners are under no obligation to complete these projects and may dispose of any such assets after adding value through the entitlement process. Please also see the section titled “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Development and redevelopment” section for additional detail on these investments.
Residential, Hotel and Other
In certain cases, we may pursue for-sale housing acquisition opportunities, including land for entitlements, finished lots, urban infill housing sites and partially finished and finished housing projects. On certain income-producing acquisitions, there are adjacent land parcels for which we may pursue entitlement activities or, in some cases, development or re-development opportunities.
We have a minority ownership interest in Zonda, a technology based real estate business that offers residential construction data providing insights and solutions for leaders in the home building industry. We account for our ownership interest at fair value and it is included within our unconsolidated investments.
This group also includes our investment in liquid non-real estate investments which include investment funds that hold marketable securities and private equity investments.
As of March 31, 2024, we held 11 investments that are primarily comprised of 1,069 acres located in Hawaii and the Western United States and are primarily invested through our Co-Investment Portfolio. As of March 31, 2024, these investments had a gross asset value of $222.7 million. These investments are in various stages of completion, ranging from securing the proper entitlements on land positions to sales of units/lots.
In our Co-Investment Portfolio, we have a five-star Rosewood flagged Kona Village Resort that consists of 150 rooms in Kona, Hawaii, which opened in July 2023.

Fair Value Investments
The Company accounts for a number of unconsolidated investments under fair value accounting. The accuracy of estimating fair value cannot be determined with precision and cannot be substantiated by comparison to quoted prices in active markets and may not be realized in a current sale or immediate settlement of the asset or liability. Recently, there has also been a lack of liquidity in the capital markets as well as limited transactions which has had impact on the inputs associated with fair values. Additionally, there are inherent uncertainties in any fair value measurement technique, and changes in the underlying assumptions used, including market-derived estimated capitalization rates, discount rates, liquidity risks, and estimates of future cash flows could significantly affect the fair value measurement amounts. All valuations of real estate involve subjective judgments.
Ongoing macroeconomic conditions, such as, but not limited to, elevated levels of inflation and interest rates, banks' ability and willingness to lend, recent adverse developments affecting regional banks and other financial institutions, currency fluctuations and ongoing military conflicts around the world, continue to fuel recessionary fears and create volatility in our business results and operations. Any prolonged downturn in the financial markets or a recession, either globally or locally in the United States or in other countries in which we conduct business, could impact the fair value of investments held by the Company. As a result of the rapid development, fluidity and uncertainty surrounding these situations, the Company expects that information with respect to fair value measurement may change, potentially significantly, going forward and may not be indicative of the actual impact on our business, operations, cash flows and financial condition for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and future periods.
As of March 31, 2024, $1.9 billion or 100% of our investments in our Co-Investment Portfolio (25% of total assets) were held at estimated fair value. As of March 31, 2024, there were cumulative fair value gains on investments held of $314.6 million, which comprises 16% of the $1.9 billion carrying value of fair value unconsolidated investments that are currently held. Our investment in VHH accounts for $320.5 million of the $314.6 million cumulative fair value gains. See discussion of VHH above for more detail. Fair value changes consist of changes in the underlying value of properties and associated mortgage debt as well as foreign currency fluctuations (net of any direct hedges) for non-dollar denominated investments. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded $1.9 million and $16.4 million, respectively, of net non-cash fair value gains and write downs of performance allocations on Co-Investment portfolio investments.
In determining estimated fair market values, the Company utilizes two approaches to value real estate, a discounted cash flow analysis and direct capitalization approach.
Discounted cash flow models estimate future cash flows from a buyer's perspective (including terminal values) and compute a present value using a market discount rate. The holding period in the analysis is typically ten years. Although the ten year holding period is consistent with how market participants often estimate values in connection with buying real estate, these holding periods can be shorter depending on the life of the structure an investment is held within. The cash flows include a projection of the net sales proceeds at the end of the holding period, computed using a market reversionary capitalization rate.
Under the direct capitalization approach, the Company applies a market derived capitalization rate to current and future income streams with appropriate adjustments for tenant vacancies or rent-free periods. These capitalization rates and future income streams are derived from comparable property and leasing transactions and are considered to be key inputs in the valuation. Other factors that are taken into consideration include tenancy details, planning, building and environmental factors that might affect the property.
The Company also utilizes valuations from independent real estate appraisal firms on some of its investments ("appraised valuations"), with certain investment structures periodically (typically annually) requiring appraised valuations. All appraised valuations are reviewed and approved by the Company.
The value of the Company’s investment in VHH is determined through several approaches including a discounted cash flow analysis on a partnership-by-partnership basis that factors in the distinct economic splits between VHH and its tax credit partners (where applicable). This methodology assumes ordinary distributions and future sale of the underlying property after the tax credit period has expired. The average cap rates assumed at sale range from 6.25% - 7.20% with discount rates ranging from 8.75% - 9.70%. Additionally, the value of our investment in VHH is also corroborated through applying multiples to VHH’s various streams of annual cash flows using public company peer multiples for recurring free cash flow (ordinary distributions) and promote (paid developer fees) and total cash

flow. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the various valuation methodologies produced results that are within a 5% range.

| Multifamily | Income approach - discounted cash flow | 5.00% —7.20% | 6.50% — 9.70% | |||||||||||

| Retail | Income approach - discounted cash flow | 6.50% | 8.30% | |||||||||||

In valuing indebtedness, the Company considers significant inputs to be the term of the debt, value of collateral, market loan-to-value ratios, market interest rates and spreads, and credit quality of investment entities. The credit spreads used by the Company to value floating rate indebtedness range from 2.00% to 4.60%, while the market rates used to value fixed rate indebtedness range from 4.6% to 9.3%.
There is no active secondary market for our development projects and no readily available market value given the uncertainty of the amount and timing of future cash flows. Accordingly, our determination of fair value of our development projects requires judgment and extensive use of estimates. Therefore, we typically use investment cost as the estimated fair value until future cash flows become more predictable. Additionally, the fair value of our development projects may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values that we may ultimately realize. If we were required to liquidate an investment in a forced or liquidation sale, we could realize significantly less than the value at which we have recorded it. In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized or incurred on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected in the currently assigned valuations.
Real Estate Assets Under Management (AUM)
AUM generally refers to the properties and other assets with respect to which we provide (or participate in) oversight, investment management services and other advice, and which generally consist of real estate properties or loans, and investments in joint ventures. Our AUM is principally intended to reflect the extent of our presence in the real estate market, not the basis for determining our management fees. Our AUM consists of the total estimated fair value of the real estate properties and other real estate related assets either owned by third parties, wholly-owned by us or held by joint ventures and other entities in which our sponsored funds or investment vehicles and client accounts have invested. Committed (but unfunded) capital from investors in our sponsored funds is not included in our AUM. The estimated value of development properties is included at estimated completion cost.
The table below details the changes in the Company's AUM for the three months ended March 31, 2024:
| (in millions) | December 31, 2023 | Increases | Decreases | March 31, 2024 | |||||||||||||||||||
| AUM | $ | 24,542.9 | $ | 487.7 | $ | (514.3) | $ | 24,516.3 | |||||||||||||||
AUM decreased 0.1% to approximately $24.5 billion as of March 31, 2024. The decrease is due to asset sales. These decreases were offset by capital contributions on investments and fundings in our debt platform.

GAAP net income (loss) to common shareholders was income of $26.9 million and loss of $40.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Adjusted EBITDA was $203.2 million and $90.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The increase in net income attributable to Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. common shareholders is primarily due to the gains on sale of real estate that were generated from the sale of the Shelbourne hotel and an office building that is part of a larger office park in Issaquah, Washington. There were additional increases in interest income and recurring fees earned on our debt platform due to the acquisition of the construction loan platform in second quarter of 2023. These increases were offset by higher non-cash performance allocation reversals during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior period.
Additionally, during the period, the Company’s share of interest expense was higher due to changes in the contractual interest rates of its indebtedness. However, this was offset by increases in the fair value of the Company’s interest rate derivatives (which are recognized in other income) that the Company put in place pursuant to its interest rate management policy to hedge against the risks associated with increases in interest rates. Through the securing of hedges pursuant to such policy, the effective interest rate of the Company’s share of indebtedness is 4.5%, which reflects an approximate 60 basis point savings over contractual interest rates.

Foreign Exchange - Results of Operations
A significant portion of our investments are located outside of the United States and denominated in foreign currencies. In order to reduce the impact of foreign currency exchange rates we hedge some of our exposure. However we typically do not hedge future operations or cash flows and, therefore, changes in foreign currency rates will have an impact on our results of operations. We have included the table below to illustrate the impact these fluctuations have had on our revenues, net income and Adjusted EBITDA by applying the relevant exchange rates for the prior period. Please refer to the Currency Risk - Foreign

Consolidated Portfolio Segment
Rental income decreased to $97.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $106.6 million for the same period in 2023. The $9.2 million decrease is primarily due to asset sales primarily of non-core assets in Europe and Western United States and deconsolidations of previously consolidated multifamily properties in the prior year due to sale of equity interests to strategic partners and the Company no longer having control of the investment.
Hotel income was $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $10.6 million for the same period in 2023. The $1.3 million decrease is primarily due to lower occupancy and decreased food and beverage revenue also due to lower occupancy at the Shelbourne Hotel during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period of the prior year. On March 27, 2024, we sold the Shelbourne Hotel which comprised the total amount that was recorded to consolidated hotel income.
Gain on sale of real estate, net was $106.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to $19.2 million during the same period in 2023. The gain recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2024 relates to the sale of the Shelbourne hotel which resulted in a gain of $99.1 million; (ii) the sale of a building that is part of a larger office park which resulted in a gain of $21.6 million; and (iii) the remainder of gain on sale of real estate relates to the sale of non-core retail in the United Kingdom. The gain on sale of real estate, net includes an impairment loss of $14.3 million relating to non-core office and retail buildings in the United Kingdom and Spain that were marketed for sale during such period. The gains recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 relates to non-core retail assets in the United Kingdom and Western United States and a multifamily property in the Western United States.
Rental expenses increased to $37.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $36.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase is due to inflationary increases on items like payroll, utilities and insurance.
Hotel expenses decreased to $7.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 primarily due to decreased level of activity at the Shelbourne Hotel during 2024 as described above. As discussed above we sold the Shelbourne Hotel on March 27, 2024.
Compensation expense was $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
General and administrative expenses were $3.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $3.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. There was a higher allocation of corporate expenses to the Consolidated segment in the current period due to higher gains on sale and lower fair value gains in the Co-Investment Portfolio.
Depreciation and amortization decreased to $38.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $39.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 as a result of the Company being a net seller of assets over the last year.
Interest expense was $39.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $37.2 million for the same period in 2023. The increase is due to increases in market interest rates. The increase was offset by $4.9 million that we received on interest rate derivative contracts that paid out during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and increases in fair value of interest rate derivatives recorded to other income which is discussed below.
48
Other income was $2.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to other loss of $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. We had mark to market fair value increases of $3.4 million on the Company's undesignated interest rate caps and swap contracts for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $1.8 million loss in the prior period. The current period has higher fair value increases as fluctuations in market interest rates primarily due to the delay of interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. We have entered into these undesignated contracts to hedge against rising interest rates.
Co-Investment Portfolio Segment
Investment Management
We receive asset management fees for managing assets on behalf of our partners on our Co-Investment Portfolio assets. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we had fees recorded through revenues of $21.3 million as compared to $11.0 million from the same period in 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the increase primarily related to a $7.1 million of origination fees that we earned from our partners on the origination of construction loans in the current period. We also had higher base management fees as a result of having more AUM in our Co-Investment Portfolio mainly from the growth of our global debt platform and Western United States multifamily separate accounts.
Loan income increased to $8.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $3.7 million for the same period in 2023. These amounts represent interest income on our invested capital within our global real estate debt platform and the increase is due to the growth of the platform and rising interest rates as the majority of our loans in our debt platform are floating rate loans. These increases were offset by a $5.5 million general reserve that we recorded in other income on our loan portfolio relating to our bridge loan portfolio.
Co-Investment Operations
In addition to our management of investments in the Co-Investment Portfolio, we have ownership interests in the properties that sit within our Co-Investment Portfolio. The table below represents a breakout of the amounts within income from unconsolidated investments which represents our share of underlying property investments in the Co-Investment Portfolio assets for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and the three months ended March 31, 2023:

| (Loss) income from unconsolidated investments | $ | (6.7) | $ | 5.7 | ||||||||||
The decrease in income from unconsolidated investments is primarily due to the following:
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded fair value increases from non-cash fair value gains relating to the completion of a merger by the entity that holds the Company's ownership interest in Zonda. Zonda is a technology based
49
real estate business that offers residential construction data providing insights and solutions for leaders in the home building industry. This fair value gain was offset by non-cash fair value losses on: (i) office properties in Western United States, Ireland and United Kingdom due to cap rate expansion and (ii) non-cash fair value losses on mortgage debt as previous non-cash fair value gains unwind as loans move closer to their respective maturity dates.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a $16.4 million decrease in the accrual for performance allocations primarily related to the fair value decreases that we recorded with respect to one of our Western United States commingled funds in which the Company is in the 50/50 catch up in the performance allocation waterfall.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, we recorded fair value increases with respect to: (i) recorded fair value increases with respect to our investment in VHH (our affordable rate multifamily platform) due to gains on the conversion of the status of one of VHH’s largest properties from development to operating and gains associated with the conversion of the loan secured by such property from a floating rate construction loan to a long-term fixed rate mortgage (the rate of which was set in 2019); (ii) recorded fair value increases on certain of our development projects located in Dublin, Ireland as we are near completion in such projects; and (iii) foreign exchange movements, net of any foreign exchange hedges as the euro and pound sterling strengthened against the dollar. These fair value increases were offset by (i) certain office properties in one of our existing commingled funds due to cap rate expansion which also led to us recording a decrease of the accrued performance allocations with respect to such fund; (ii) certain market rate multifamily properties in the Western United States and Ireland and our European industrial assets because of increased interest rates leading to cap rate expansion; (iii) certain secured mortgage debt and interest rate derivatives due to a slight decline in the equivalent fixed rates and time decay in the current period.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we recorded a $10.7 million decrease in the accrual for performance allocations primarily related to the fair value decreases that we recorded with respect to one of our commingled funds as described above. These decreases were offset by an increase in performance allocations on our European commingled fund due to the increase in value associated with a land investment held by such fund. There is no performance allocation structure that we benefit from with respect to our investment in VHH.
Expenses
Co-Investment Portfolio expenses decreased to $5.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $13.2 million during the prior period. The decrease compared to the prior period was primarily due to reversal of previously recognized non-cash performance allocation compensation expense relating to a Western United States based commingled fund as performance allocations were reversed during the current period.
Corporate
Expenses decreased to $11.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $14.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 due to lower share based compensation and deferred compensation expense due to lower share price of the Company's stock for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior period in 2023. These decreases were offset by slight increase in the discretionary compensation accrual.
Interest expense was $24.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to $25.1 million for the same period in 2023. Interest expense was offset by $2.6 million that we received on interest rate derivative contracts that paid out during the three months ended March 31, 2024 recorded to other income which is discussed below.
Other income increased to $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to a loss of $2.0 million for the same period in 2023. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded mark to market fair value gains on interest rate caps and swaps that the Company bought to hedge its variable rate interest rate exposure of $6.3 million as compared to a loss of $1.2 million in three months ended March 31, 2023. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 we received $0.8 million of interest income on bank deposits due to rising interest rates as compared to $0.5 million in the prior period. The Company also recorded realized foreign exchange gains of $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 with a loss of $1.5 million in the prior period.
Our income tax expense was $26.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to income tax benefit of $3.9 million for the same period in 2023. The increase in income tax expense is primarily attributable to a $97.0 million increase in worldwide pre-tax book income in 2024 as compared to the same period in the prior year. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was 41.5% as compared to an effective tax rate of 12% for the same period in 2023. Significant items impacting the quarterly tax provision include: increase in valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax asset on the outside basis difference of its investment in KWE, and tax charges associated with non-deductible executive compensation under IRC Section 162(m).

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The two major components that drive the change in other comprehensive loss are the change in foreign currency rates and the gain or loss of any associated foreign currency hedges. Please refer to the Currency Risk - Foreign Currencies section in Item 3 for a discussion of our risks relating to foreign currency and our hedging strategy. Below is a table that details the activity for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

The main currencies that we have exposure to are the euro and pound sterling. The table below represents the change in rates over the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 as compared to the U.S. Dollar:

Comprehensive income (loss), net of taxes and noncontrolling interests, for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was income of $24.6 million and a loss of $28.7 million, respectively. The Company experienced net unrealized losses on foreign currency through other comprehensive income for the period due to the weakening of the Euro and GBP against the US Dollar in the period. Hedge gains were due to hedges the Company held on its GBP investments as well as hedges that KWE has on its euro denominated investments.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital resources requirements include acquisitions of real estate and real estate related assets, funding development projects, loan draw (particularly on our construction loan business) capital expenditures for consolidated real estate and unconsolidated investments, working capital needs, interest and principal payments on our debt and dividends to our common and preferred shareholders. We finance these activities with internally generated funds through general operations including rental income, interest income, asset management fees, asset sales, borrowings under our revolving line of credit, sales of equity (common and preferred) and debt securities and cash out refinancings to the extent they are available and fit within our overall portfolio leverage strategy. Our investments in real estate are typically financed with equity from our balance sheet, third party equity and mortgage loans secured by that real estate. These mortgage loans are generally non-recourse in that, in the event of default, recourse will be limited to the mortgaged property serving as collateral, subject to limited customary exceptions. In some cases, we guarantee a portion of the loan related to a consolidated property or an unconsolidated investment, usually until some condition, such as completion of construction or leasing or certain net operating income criteria, has been met. We do not expect these guarantees to materially affect liquidity or capital resources. Please refer to the section titled "Off Balance Sheet Arrangements" for further information.
Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties and loan investments, dividend payments to our common and preferred shareholders, interest on our unsecured corporate debt, development, redevelopment and capital expenditures and, potentially, share repurchases and acquisitions. We currently expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through our existing cash and cash equivalents plus capital generated from our investments, and sales of real estate as well as availability on our current revolving lines of credit. In addition, the Company’s recently-announced adjustment to its common stock dividend will provide the Company with approximately $66 million of additional cash per year to capitalize on opportunities to grow its core business and/or repay outstanding indebtedness. Our need to raise funds from time to time to meet our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the success and pace of the implementation of our strategy for strategic and accretive growth where appropriate. Additionally, we may opportunistically seek to raise capital (equity or debt) when we believe market conditions are favorable and when consistent with our growth and financing strategies. We may also seek third party financing to the extent that we engage in additional strategic investments, including in order to raise capital necessary to execute potential development or redevelopment strategies or acquire real estate, note portfolios, or other real estate related companies or real estate related
51
securities. Similarly, we may from time to time seek to refinance our existing indebtedness opportunistically in order to reduce our overall cost of debt capital or optimize the maturity schedule of our outstanding indebtedness, or for other strategic reasons. We have an at-the-market ("ATM Program") pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of the Company’s common stock in amounts and at times as the Company determines from time to time. We have $169.9 million available under this program at March 31, 2024. The Company has no obligation to sell any of such shares under its ATM Program. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the Company from time to time, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of its common stock, the Company's determination of the appropriate sources of funding for the Company, and potential uses of funding available.
As of March 31, 2024, we and our consolidated subsidiaries had $541.9 million ($342.2 million of which is in foreign currencies of the EUR or the GBP) of consolidated cash (as shown on our consolidated balance sheet), our share of cash held at unconsolidated Co-Investment Portfolio assets of $101.0 million and had $252.1 million of availability under our revolving credit facility ($247.9 million outstanding as of March 31, 2024). As of March 31, 2024, we have $104.6 million of restricted cash, which is included in cash and cash equivalents, that primarily relates to lender reserves associated with consolidated mortgages that we hold on properties and reserves held on loans in the Construction Loan Portfolio (as defined herein) on behalf of the borrowers under such loans. These reserves typically relate to interest, taxes, insurance and future capital expenditures at the properties as well as reserves held on our loan investments.
Additionally, we are subject to withholding taxes to the extent we repatriate cash from certain of our foreign subsidiaries. Under the KWE Notes covenants we have to maintain certain interest coverage and leverage ratios to remain in compliance (see "Indebtedness and Related Covenants" for more detail on KWE Notes). Due to these covenants, we evaluate the tax and covenant implications before we distribute cash, which could impact the availability of funds at the corporate level.
As discussed throughout this report, ongoing macroeconomic conditions, such as, but not limited to, ongoing issues affecting regional and other financial institutions, high inflation and central banks raising interest rates to curtail high inflation continue to fuel recessionary fears and create volatility in our business results and operations, including our ability to access the capital markets at desired terms or at all. Please also see Part I. Item 1A. Risk Factors to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Development and Redevelopment
Kennedy Wilson has a number of market rate development, redevelopment and entitlement projects that are underway or are in the planning stages. These initiatives, if completed, will result in market-rate income producing assets. As of March 31, 2024, we had 1,106 multifamily units we are actively developing. If these projects were brought to completion, our share of the total cost is estimated to be approximately $281 million, which we expect would be funded through our existing equity, third party equity, project sales and secured debt financing. This represents total capital over the life of the projects and is not a representation of peak equity and does not take into account any distributions over the course of the investment. As of March 31, 2024, we had incurred $229 million of costs to date and expect to spend an additional $84 million to develop to completion or complete the entitlement process on these projects. Of the $84 million of remaining costs to complete, we currently expect $20 million of it to be funded through cash from us over the life of the projects and the remaining to be financed with proceeds from investment level borrowings. These costs are generally financed by cash from our balance sheet, capital provided by partners (if applicable), cash flow from the investment and construction loans. Cost overrun risks are reduced by detailed architectural plans, guaranteed, or fixed price contracts and supervision by expert Company executives and personnel. When completed, the construction loans are generally replaced by long-term mortgage financing. When development projects are completed they typically move into our unstabilized category as they undergo lease up post-completion.
In addition to the market rate development and redevelopment projects described above, we have 1,604 affordable and/or age-restricted multifamily units within our VHH platform that we are currently developing or are in the process of stabilizing. We expect to have no cash equity basis in these projects at completion due to the use of property level debt and proceeds from the sale of tax credits. If these projects are brought to completion, we expect to receive $11.2 million in cash from paid developer fees and proceeds from the sale of tax credits.
The figures described in the two preceding paragraphs and in the table below are budgeted costs and are subject to change. There is no certainty that the Company will develop or redevelop any or all of these potential projects and the Company and its equity partners are under no obligation to complete these projects and may dispose of any such assets after adding value through the entitlement process. These are budgeted figures and are subject to change (increase or decrease) due to a number of factors (some of which are beyond our control), including, that these projects are being developed under construction management contracts with the general contractors and therefore we and our equity partners could be called upon to contribute additional capital in the event that actual costs exceed budgeted costs. The scope of these projects may also change. The estimated costs and amounts of cash to complete projects reflected in the table below represent management's current expectations and the total costs incurred to date include the land costs of these projects.

(1) The actual completion date for projects is subject to several factors, many of which are not within our control. Accordingly, the projects identified may not be completed when expected, or at all.
(2) Figures shown in this column are an estimate of KW's remaining costs to develop to completion or to complete the entitlement process, as applicable, as of March 31, 2024. Total remaining costs may be financed with third-party cash contributions, proceeds from projected sales, and/or debt financing. Kennedy Wilson expects to fund $20 million of its share of remaining costs to complete with cash. These figures are budgeted costs and are subject to change. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure the project-level debt financing that is assumed in the figures above. If the Company is unable to secure such financing, the amount of capital that the Company will have to invest to complete the projects above may significantly increase. KW cost to complete differs from KW share total capitalization as the latter includes costs that have already been incurred to date while the former relates to future estimated costs.

Unstabilized and Value Add Capital Expenditure Programs
We currently have eleven assets that comprise 1.1 million commercial square feet, 1,402 multifamily units and 150 hotel rooms that are currently unstabilized and are undergoing various stages of lease up, value add or development. In order to stabilize these assets, we project our share of the costs to complete to be $44.9 million. The cost to complete this work and the time frame described is subject to many uncertainties that are beyond our control, and the actual costs may be significantly higher than the estimates shown below.

(1) Figures shown in this column are an estimate of KW's remaining costs to develop to completion or to complete the entitlement process, as applicable, as of March 31, 2024. Total remaining costs may be financed with third-party cash contributions, proceeds from projected sales, and/or debt financing. These figures are budgeted costs and are subject to change. There is no guarantee that the Company will be able to secure the project-level debt financing that is
53
assumed in the figures above. If the Company is unable to secure such financing, the amount of capital that the Company will have to invest to complete the projects above may significantly increase.
(2) Estimated foreign exchange rates are €1.00 = $1.08 USD, and £1.00 = $1.26 USD related to NOI.
In addition to our development, redevelopment and stabilization initiatives we regularly implement a value-add approach to our consolidated and unconsolidated investments which includes rehabbing properties and adding or updating property amenities. The capital required to implement these value-add initiatives is typically funded with capital calls, refinancing or supplemental financings at the property level. We are not required to make these investments, but they are a key driver in our ability to increase net operating income at our properties post-acquisition.
Other Items
On March 20, 2018, our Board of Directors approved the repurchase of up to $250 million of our common stock. Repurchases under the program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, through the net settlement of our restricted stock grants or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases dependent on market conditions and subject to the company’s discretion. The program does not obligate us to repurchase any specific number of shares and, subject to compliance with applicable laws, may be suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. On November 3, 2020, the Company's board of directors authorized an expansion of its existing $250 million share repurchase plan to $500 million. As of March 31, 2024, we had $115.3 million remaining under the current plan for stock repurchases. Please also see "Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds" section in Item 2.
The Company maintains a deferred compensation program for certain employees of the Company (the “Deferred Compensation Program”). The named executive officers of the Company are not participants of the Deferred Compensation Program. The compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors approves an amount annually to be allocated to certain employees of the Company in the United States and in Europe. The amount allocated to each employee vests ratably over a three-year vesting period, subject to continued employment with the Company. Prior to 2022, half of the allocated amount was tied specifically to the performance and value of the Company’s common stock at the time of each vesting (“Bonus Units”). Beginning 2022, the entire amount allocated to each employee consisted of Bonus Units. Under the Deferred Compensation Program, at the time of each vesting, the employees receive an amount equal to either the dividend yield of the Company’s common stock or the actual amount of dividends paid on the Company common stock (in the case of Bonus Units) during the immediately preceding year on the amount that is subject to such vesting. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 the Company recorded $1.3 million and $2.8 million, respectively, under the Deferred Compensation Program.
As discussed throughout this report, the Company also maintains a performance allocation sharing program for certain employees of the Company (the “Performance Allocation Sharing Program”). The compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors approved, reserved and authorized executive management to issue up to thirty-five percent (35%) of any performance allocations earned by certain commingled funds and separate account investments to be allocated to certain employees of the Company. Sixty percent of the award to each employee vests ratably over four years and the remaining forty percent vest upon the consummation of a liquidity event of the investment whereby the Company actually receives cash performance allocations from its partner. The full performance allocation earned by the Company will be recorded to income from unconsolidated investments and the amount allocated to employees is recorded as performance allocation compensation. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company recorded a reversal of $5.5 million and expense of $1.6 million, respectively related to this program.
The Company also recently implemented a global employee co-investment program (the “Co-Investment Program”). The named executive officers are not participants of the Co-Investment Program. Under the Co-Investment Program, certain employees are provided the opportunity to invest alongside the Company in its investments (in all future investments and certain recently acquired transactions). The amount of funds that the employees, as a group, can invest in the Company’s investments is capped at 1.5% of the Company’s equity. Participants in the Co-Investment Program will make commitments to the program every year. Generally (with certain exceptions), participants in the Co-Investment Program will invest in every investment made by the Company (investments that such employee has an active role in acquiring and managing) in the applicable year.
Cash Flows
The following table summarizes the cash provided by or used in our operating, investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Operating
Our cash flows from operating activities are primarily dependent upon operations from consolidated properties, the operating distributions and fees from our Co-Investment Platform net of operating expenses, general and administrative costs, compensation and interest expense payments. Net cash flows used in operating activities totaled $5.6 million and $67.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The change was due to lower discretionary compensation payments in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the prior period and the receipt of deposits relating to the debt platform business from borrowers that is part of restricted cash.
Investing
Our cash flows from investing activities are generally comprised of cash used to fund property acquisitions, investments in co-investments, capital expenditures, purchases and originations of loans secured by real estate, as well as cash received from property sales and sales from our co-investments. Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $244.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

We also contributed $50.3 million to unconsolidated investments that were primarily used to fund our share of capital calls on Kona Village and Cooper's Cross development.
Financing
Our net cash related to financing activities are generally impacted by capital-raising activities net of dividends and distributions paid to common and preferred shareholders and noncontrolling interests as well as financing activities for consolidated real estate investments. Net cash used in financing activities totaled $9.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. We drew $100.0 million on our revolving line of credit. Kennedy Wilson received proceeds of $73.4 million from mortgage loans to refinance consolidated property loans. These proceeds were offset by the repayment of $127.8 million of mortgage debt primarily related to proceeds from the 90 East building sale. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we paid common dividends of $34.1 million and preferred dividends of $10.9 million and we repurchased $9.1 million of our common stock under our share repurchase plan.
Net cash used in financing activities totaled $61.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company received net proceeds of $29.3 million from the issuance of common shares under its ATM program.

KWI Notes
On February 11, 2021, Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. ("KWI"), issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”) and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.000% senior notes due 2031 (the “2031 Notes” and, together with the 2029 Notes, the “initial notes”). On March 15, 2021, KWI issued an additional $100 million aggregate principal of the 2029 Notes and an additional $100 million of the 2031 Notes. These additional notes were issued as "additional notes" under the indentures pursuant to which KWI previously issued 2029 Notes and the 2031 Notes. On August 23, 2021, KWI issued $600.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.750% senior notes due 2030 (the "2030 Notes", together with the 2029 Notes, the 2031 notes and the additional notes, the "notes"). The notes are senior, unsecured obligations of KWI and are guaranteed by Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. and certain subsidiaries of KWI.
The notes accrue interest at a rate of 4.750% (in the case of the 2029 Notes), 4.750% (in the case of the 2030 Notes) and 5.000% (in the case of the 2031 Notes) per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on March 1 and September 1 of each year, beginning on September 1, 2021 for the 2029 Notes and 2031 Notes and March 1, 2022 for the 2030 Notes. The notes will mature on March 1, 2029 (in the case of the 2029 Notes), February 1, 2030 (in case of 2030 Notes) and March 1, 2031 (in the case of the 2031 Notes), in each case unless earlier repurchased or redeemed. At any time prior to March 1, 2024 (in the case of the 2029 Notes), September 1, 2024 (in the case of the 2030 Notes) or March 1, 2026 (in the case of the 2031 Notes), KWI may redeem the notes of the applicable series, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, plus an applicable “make-whole” premium and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. At any time and from time to time on or after March 1, 2024 (in the case of the 2029 Notes), September 1, 2024 (in the case of the 2030 Notes) or March 1,
56
2026 (in the case of the 2031 Notes), KWI may redeem the notes of the applicable series, in whole or in part, at specified redemption prices set forth in the indenture governing the notes of the applicable series, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the redemption date. In addition, prior to March 1, 2024 (for 2029 Notes and 2031 Notes) and September 1, 2024 (for 2030 Notes), KWI may redeem up to 40% of the notes of either series from the proceeds of certain equity offerings. No sinking fund will be provided for the notes. Upon the occurrence of certain change of control or termination of trading events, holders of the notes may require KWI to repurchase their notes for cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the applicable repurchase date. The amount of the 2029 Notes, 2030 Notes and 2031 Notes included in the Company's consolidated balance sheets was $601.5 million, $600.0 million and $601.6 million at March 31, 2024.
KWE Notes
As of March 31, 2024, KWE has notes outstanding ("KWE Notes") of $512.8 million (based on March 31, 2024 rates), have an annual fixed coupon of 3.25% and mature in 2025. The KWE Notes are subject to the restrictive covenants discussed below.
Borrowings Under Line of Credit
On March 25, 2020, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, extended its existing $500 million revolving line of credit ("Second A&R Facility"). The Second A&R Facility has a maturity date of September 25, 2024. Subject to certain conditions precedent and at Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.’s (the "Borrower") option, the maturity date of the Second A&R Facility may be extended by six months.
The Company has $247.9 million outstanding on the Second A&R Facility with $252.1 million available to be drawn as of March 31, 2024.
Debt Covenants
The Second A&R Facility and the indentures governing the notes contain numerous restrictive covenants that, among other things, limit the Company and certain of its subsidiaries' ability to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions to stockholders, repurchase capital stock or debt, make investments, sell assets or subsidiary stock, create or permit liens, engage in transactions with affiliates, enter into sale/leaseback transactions, issue subsidiary equity and enter into consolidations or mergers.
The Second A&R Facility has certain covenants as set forth in that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of March 25, 2020 (the "Credit Agreement") that, among other things (including the limitations set forth in the preceding paragraph) requires the Company to maintain (i) a maximum consolidated leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not greater than 65%, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.70 to 1.00, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period of four full fiscal quarters then ended, (iii) a minimum consolidated tangible net worth equal to or greater than the sum of $1,700,000,000 plus an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of net equity proceeds received by the Company after the date of the most recent financial statements that are available as of the March 25, 2020, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, (iv) a maximum recourse leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not greater than an amount equal to consolidated tangible net worth as of the measurement date multiplied by 1.5, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, (v) a maximum secured recourse leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not greater than an amount equal to 3.5% of consolidated total asset value (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and $299,000,000, (vi) a maximum adjusted secured leverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not greater than 55%, measured as of the last day of each fiscal quarter, and (vii) liquidity (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of at least $75.0 million. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these financial covenants. The obligations of Kennedy-Wilson, Inc. pursuant to the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Company and certain wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company.
The indentures governing the notes limit Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.'s ability to incur additional indebtedness if, on the date of such incurrence and after giving effect to the new indebtedness, Kennedy-Wilson, Inc.'s maximum balance sheet leverage ratio (as defined in the indenture) is greater than 1.50 to 1.00. This ratio is measured at the time of incurrence of additional indebtedness.
The KWE Notes require KWE to maintain (i) consolidated net indebtedness (as defined in the trust deed for the notes) of no more than 60% of the total asset value; (ii) consolidated secured indebtedness (less cash and cash equivalents) of no more than 50% of total asset value; (iii) an interest coverage ratio of at least 1.5 to 1.0, and (iv) unencumbered assets of no less than 125% of the unsecured indebtedness (less cash & cash equivalents). The covenants associated with KWE Notes are not an
57
obligation of KWH and these amounts are presented as a component of our investment debt as it is an unsecured obligation relating to an underlying investment of ours. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.
In addition, loan agreements that govern the Company's property-level non-recourse financings that are secured by its properties may contain operational and financial covenants, including but not limited to, debt yield related covenants and debt service coverage ratio covenants and, with respect to mortgages secured by certain properties in Europe, loan-to-value ratio covenants. Property-level non-recourse financings with such loan-to-value covenants require that the underlying properties are valued on a periodic basis (at least annually). The failure by the Company to comply with such covenants and/or secure waivers from lenders could result in defaults under these instruments. In addition, if the Company defaults under a mortgage loan and/or such loan is accelerated by the lender, it may automatically be in default under any of its property and corporate unsecured loans that contain cross-default and/or cross-acceleration provisions. Please also see Part I. Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. During the quarter ended March 31, 2024, we determined that one of our joint ventures (50% at the Company’s share) was out of compliance with a covenant in its financing agreement. The joint venture and the lender have agreed to an arrangement in principle, which includes, among other things, an extension of the term of the loan and the joint venture paying off a portion of the outstanding balance. The parties are in the process of documenting the same and the Company currently expects to have such documentation finalized during the second quarter of 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all of its covenants (financial and otherwise) that are contained in its consolidated mortgages other than with respect to one mortgage loan. The Company was out of compliance with an interest coverage covenant in one of its non-recourse mortgage loans, representing 1% of its total mortgage debt. The Company and Lender have agreed to terms, including, but not limited to, waiving the covenant upon the Company’s funding of approximately $1 million into an interest reserve account. The Company expects to have the waiver finalized during the second quarter of 2024. The two loans discussed directly above total only 1.4% of our share of total debt obligations. The Company is current on all payment obligations (principal and interest) under its mortgage loans, including the two loans discussed above. Please also see Part I. Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
As of March 31, 2024, the Company was in compliance with all covenant calculations (other than discussed immediately above).
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have provided guarantees from time to time associated with loans secured by consolidated assets. As of March 31, 2024, the maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) we could be required to make under the guarantees was $155.3 million. The guarantees expire through 2031 and our performance under the guarantees would be required to the extent there is a shortfall upon liquidation between the principal amount of the loan and the net sale proceeds of the applicable properties. If we were to become obligated to perform on these guarantees, it could have an adverse effect on our financial condition.
As of March 31, 2024, we had unfulfilled capital commitments totaling $178.2 million to our joint venture investments and $92.2 million to our loan portfolio. In addition to the unfunded capital commitments on our joint venture investments, we had $66.8 million of equity commitments relating to consolidated and unconsolidated development projects. As we identify investment opportunities in the future, we may be called upon to contribute additional capital to unconsolidated investments in satisfaction of our capital commitment obligations.
Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 for discussion of our non-recourse carve-out guarantees arrangements, as there have been no material changes to that disclosure.

Item 3.Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Our primary market risk exposure relates to: changes in interest rates in connection with our short-term borrowings and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates in connection with our foreign operations.
Interest Rate Risk
We have established an interest rate management policy, which attempts to minimize our overall cost of debt while taking into consideration the earnings implications associated with the volatility of short-term interest rates. As part of this policy, we have elected to maintain a combination of variable and fixed rate debt. As of March 31, 2024, 76% of our consolidated level debt is fixed rate, 22% is floating rate with interest caps and 2% is floating rate without interest caps. As such, fluctuations in interest rates may impact our floating rate debt (and floating rate debt with interest caps to a lesser extent) and cause our consolidated interest expense and income from unconsolidated investments to fluctuate. Typically, these fluctuations do not give rise to a significant long-term interest rate risk because they have generally short maturities.
We hold variable rate debt on some of our consolidated and unconsolidated properties that are subject to interest rate fluctuations. These variable rates generally are based on the lender’s base rate, prime rate, EURIBOR, GBP LIBOR, LIBOR, SONIA plus an applicable borrowing margin. Additionally, in order to mitigate some of the risk associated with increasing interest rates we have purchased interest rate caps and swaps. Our interest rate caps and swaps are typically undesignated as they are bought at the corporate level and changes in value are recorded to other income. However we view the fair value movements associated with these interest rate derivatives in conjunction with our interest expense in order to limit the amount of financial statement impact that interest expense can increase with rate increases. However, even though we hold interest rate swaps and caps we are subject to increased interest expense until rates hit the level of caps that have been purchased. If there was a 100-basis point increase or decrease, we would have a $2.2 million increase in interest expense or $3.4 million of interest expense savings during 2024 on our current share of indebtedness. The weighted average strike price on caps and maturity of Kennedy Wilson’s variable rate mortgages is 2.63% and approximately 1.4 years, respectively, as of March 31, 2024.
The table below represents contractual balances of our financial instruments at the expected maturity dates as well as the fair value as of March 31, 2024. The weighted average interest rate for the various assets and liabilities presented are actual as of March 31, 2024. We closely monitor the fluctuation in interest rates, and if rates were to increase significantly, we believe that we would be able to either hedge the change in the interest rate or refinance the loans with fixed interest rate debt. All instruments included in this analysis are non-trading.

Currency Risk - Foreign Currencies
A significant portion of our business is located outside the United States. As such, we have foreign currency fluctuation risk with respect to those investments and business units. In certain instances, we utilize foreign currency hedging derivatives to mitigate the impact of this risk on our equity.
The financial statements of Kennedy Wilson's subsidiaries located outside the United States are measured using the local currency as this is their functional currency. The assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at the rates of exchange at the balance sheet date, and income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rate. The foreign currencies primarily include the euro and GBP. Cumulative translation adjustments, to the extent not included in cumulative net income, are included in the consolidated statement of equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. Currency translation gains and losses and currency derivative gains and losses will remain in other comprehensive income unless and until the Company substantially liquidates underlying investments.
Approximately 35% of our investment account is invested through our foreign platforms in their local currencies. Investment level debt is generally incurred in local currencies and therefore we consider our equity investment as the appropriate exposure to evaluate for hedging purposes. In order to manage the effect of these fluctuations, we generally hedge our book equity exposure to foreign currencies through currency forward contracts and options. As of March 31, 2024, we have hedged 96% of the net asset carrying value of our euro denominated investments and 93% of the net asset carrying value of our GBP denominated investments.
Our investment management businesses typically do not require much capital so foreign currency translation and derivative activity primarily relates to the investments segment as that has greater balance sheet exposure to foreign currency fluctuations.
We typically have not hedged the impact foreign currency fluctuations may have on our future operations or cash flows. The costs to operate these businesses, such as compensation, overhead and interest expense are incurred in local currencies. As we are not currently hedging our current operations there will be foreign currency impact on our results of operations for both the Consolidated and Co-Investment segments.
If there was a 5% increase or decrease in foreign exchange rates on the currencies we invest to the U.S. Dollar our net asset value would increase by $14.2 million or decrease by $15.5 million, respectively. If rates increase or decrease by 10% we would have an increase of $27.5 million and a decrease of $33.1 million, respectively.

OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
We may be involved in various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which are currently material to our business and our financial statements taken as a whole. From time to time, our real estate management division is named in “slip and fall” type litigation relating to buildings we manage. Our standard management agreement contains an indemnity provision whereby the building owner indemnifies and agrees to defend our real estate management division against such claims. In such cases, we are defended by the building owner’s liability insurer.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the information set forth in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, one should also carefully review and consider the information contained in our other reports and periodic filings that we make with the SEC, including, without limitation, the information contained under the caption “Item 1A. Risk factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Those risk factors could materially affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. The risks that we describe in our public filings are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we presently deem to be immaterial, also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed under the caption “Item 1A. Risk factors” to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
