Piedmont Office Realty Trust Reports Fourth Quarter and Annual 2019 Results
ATLANTA, February 4, 2020--Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. ("Piedmont" or the "Company") (NYSE:PDM), an owner of Class A office properties located primarily in select sub-markets within seven major Eastern U.S. office markets, today announced its results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019.

Highlights for the Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2019:

Reported net income applicable to common stockholders of $162.5 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, and $229.3 million, or $1.82 per diluted share, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019, respectively, as compared with $45.4 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, and $130.3 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2018, respectively.
Achieved Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") of $0.46 and $1.79 per diluted share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.
Completed approximately 867,000 square feet of leasing during the quarter ended December 31, 2019, including the 520,000 square foot renewal and expansion of one of the Company's largest tenants, the State of New York at 60 Broad Street in New York City, bringing total leasing for the year to 2.3 million square feet.
Reported an approximately 7.4% and 23.2% roll up in cash and accrual rents, respectively, on executed leases for space vacant one year or less for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 and a 9.8% and a 21.6% roll up in cash and accrual rents, respectively, on executed leases for space vacant one year or less for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Reported an 8.2% and 5.2% increase in Same Store NOI-Cash Basis and Same Store NOI - Accrual Basis, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, as compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2018 and a 5.7% and 2.5% increase in Same Store NOI-Cash Basis and Same Store NOI - Accrual Basis, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2018.
During the quarter ended December 31, 2019, completed the sale of 500 West Monroe Street, a 46-story, approximately 967,000 square foot, 100% leased, trophy office building located in the West Loop submarket of downtown Chicago, IL for a gross sales price of $412 million, or $426 psf, which resulted in the recognition of a gain on sale of real estate assets of approximately $158 million during the fourth quarter.

Subsequent to December 31, 2019:

Entered into a binding contract to acquire a 1.4 million square foot project located in Dallas, TX for approximately $400 million. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2020. It will be initially funded using the Company's $500 million line of credit and ultimately is expected to be largely funded through the disposition of 1901 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA.





Commenting on the quarter's results, Brent Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "2019 was a phenomenal year for Piedmont. We completed several key acquisitions which allowed us to gain control of the entire 2.1 million square foot Atlanta Galleria office development. Those acquisitions were funded by the sale of two of our more mature assets in non-strategic markets, including the sale during the fourth quarter of 500 West Monroe Street in Chicago, and demonstrate our ability to monetize assets which have maximized their growth potential in our portfolio and redeploy the proceeds accretively into our targeted sub-markets. Leasing activity for the year was an impressive 2.3 million square feet and resulted in strong current, and what we believe, will be future rent growth. During the fourth quarter we successfully completed an approximately 20-year renewal of one of our largest tenants, State of New York, for more space and at better economics than we originally anticipated. Further, we are very excited about the start we are seeing for 2020 with a significant acquisition planned in Dallas and continued leasing momentum across the portfolio."

Results for the Quarter ended December 31, 2019

Piedmont recognized net income applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2019 of $162.5 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, as compared with $45.4 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2018. The increase in the current quarter's results was almost entirely a result of the recognition of approximately $157.6 million in gain on sale of real estate assets primarily associated with the sale of 500 West Monroe Street in downtown Chicago as compared with a $30.5 million gain on sale of real estate assets during the three months ended December 31, 2018. The current quarter's results also included a $7.0 million loss on impairment of real estate assets associated with a change in hold period assumption for a non-strategic building in New Jersey during the quarter.
Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Core FFO, which remove the impact of the gains on sale and impairment loss mentioned above, as well as depreciation and amortization, were both $0.46 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2019, as compared with $0.45 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2018, reflecting the commencement of certain significant leases during the fourth quarter of 2019 as well as net transactional activity since October 1, 2018.

Per share results were also favorably impacted by an approximately 2.5 million share decrease in the Company's weighted average shares outstanding for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as a result of stock repurchase activity occurring primarily in late 2018 and into early 2019.

Total revenues and property operating costs were $134.2 million and $52.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2019, compared to $137.2 million and $55.2 million, respectively, for the fourth quarter of 2018, with both line items reflecting the commencement of new leases, the expiration of abatements, and net transactional activity during the year ended December 31, 2019. General and administrative expense was $8.2 million for the fourth quarter of 2019 comparable to the same period in 2018.

Results for the Year ended December 31, 2019

Piedmont recognized net income applicable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2019 of $229.3 million, or $1.82 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $130.3 million, or $1.00 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2018. The year ended December 31, 2019 included approximately $188.1 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, of gains on sales of real estate assets



net of impairment losses, whereas the prior year included approximately $75.7 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, of gains on sales of real estate assets.

Funds From Operations ("FFO") which removes the impact of the gains on sales of real estate assets and impairment charges mentioned above (as well as depreciation and amortization), was $1.77 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared with $1.72 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2018, with the increase driven by higher average occupancy during the year ended December 31, 2019 and net transactional activity during the two years ended December 31, 2019, offset by higher general and administrative expense as described below.

Core FFO, which further removes $3.2 million of non-recurring expenses associated with the senior management transition that occurred on June 30, 2019 and a $1.7 million loss on early extinguishment of debt during the year ended December 31, 2018, was $1.79 for the year ended December 31, 2019, as compared with $1.73 for the year ended December 31, 2018, with the increase primarily driven by the same items described above.

Per share results were also favorably impacted by an approximately 4.5 million share decrease in the Company's weighted average shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2019 as a result of stock repurchase activity occurring primarily during 2018.

Total revenues and property operating costs were $533.2 million and $211.4 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared with $526.0 million and $209.3 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2018, with both line items reflecting the commencement of new leases, the expiration of abatements, and net transactional activity during the two years ended December 31, 2019.
Current year results also reflect increased amortization expense related to intangible assets associated with the recent acquisitions of Galleria 100, 400, and 600 and higher general and administrative expense associated with increased accruals for potential performance-based equity compensation as a result of the Company's relative stock performance during the year ended December 31, 2019, as well as non-recurring expenses related to the senior management transition that occurred on June 30, 2019.

Leasing Update

During the three months ended December 31, 2019, Piedmont completed approximately 867,000 square feet of leasing across its portfolio, bringing total year to date leasing to approximately 2.3 million square feet. The fourth quarter's executed leases for recently occupied space reflected a 7.4% roll up in cash rents and 23.2% increase in accrual rents. The largest lease executed during the fourth quarter was the previously announced 20-year renewal and expansion with the State of New York at 60 Broad Street in New York City which totaled approximately 520,000 square feet. Other significant leasing highlights during the quarter include the following:

In Orlando: Orange County Florida renewed approximately 49,000 square feet at 200 South Orange Avenue, and Foundry Commerial, LLC signed a new lease for approximately 24,000 square feet at CNL Center II;
In Minneapolis: Cherne Contracting Corporation signed a new lease for approximately 32,000 square feet at Norman Pointe I;
In Washington: Leidos, Inc renewed approximately 27,000 square feet at 400 Virginia Avenue;
In Dallas: Drees Custom Homes, LP renewed approximately 18,000 square feet at 161 Corporate Center; and,



In Atlanta: Crawford Investment Council, Inc. signed a renewal and expansion totaling approximately 17,000 square feet at Galleria 600, and Southern Communications Services, Inc. renewed approximately 16,000 square feet at Glenridge Highlands One.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company's reported leased percentage and weighted average remaining lease term were approximately 91% and 7.0 years, respectively, with approximately 1.0 million square feet of executed leases for vacant space yet to commence or under rental abatement. Same Store NOI ("SSNOI") increased 8.2% and 5.2% on a cash and accrual basis, respectively, for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2018. The increase in cash basis SSNOI was attributable to the expiration of lease abatements while the increase in accrual basis SSNOI was related to the commencement of leases with higher straight-line rents, including a 301,000 square foot lease at Enclave Place in Houston, TX, offset by down times between leases and lower overall occupancy levels. Details outlining Piedmont's largest upcoming lease commencements and expirations, the status of certain major leasing activity and a schedule of the largest lease abatements can be found in the Company's quarterly supplemental information package available at www.piedmontreit.com.

Transactional Update

As previously announced, during the three months ended December 31, 2019, Piedmont sold 500 West Monroe Street, a 46-story, approximately 967,000 square foot, 100% leased, trophy office building located in the West Loop submarket of downtown Chicago, IL for a gross sales price of $412 million, or $426 psf. Under the terms of the purchase and sale agreement, Piedmont will continue to manage the building for the buyer for an initial three year term. The transaction resulted in the recognition of an approximately $158 million gain on sale of real estate which is included in the fourth quarter's results of operations.

Subsequent to December 31, 2019, Piedmont entered into a binding contract to acquire a 1.4 million square foot project located in Dallas, TX for approximately $400 million. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2020. It will be initially funded using the Company's $500 million line of credit and ultimately is expected to be partially funded through the disposition of 1901 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA.

First Quarter 2020 Dividend Declaration

On February 4, 2020, the board of directors of Piedmont declared a dividend for the first quarter of 2020 in the amount of $0.21 per share on its common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 28, 2020, payable on March 20, 2020.

Guidance for 2020

Based on management's expectations, the Company is introducing guidance for the year ending



December 31, 2020 as follows:
(in millions, except per share data)LowHigh
Net Income$43-$47
Add:
Depreciation115  -120  
Amortization82  -85  
NAREIT FFO and Core FFO applicable to common stock$240-$252
NAREIT FFO and Core FFO per diluted share$1.90-$2.00

These estimates reflect management's view of current market conditions and incorporate certain economic and operational assumptions and projections, including but not limited to: the acquisition of a 1.4 million square foot project in Dallas, TX and the disposition of 1901 Market Street. This financial guidance does not include the potential effects of any additional acquisition or disposition activity that may be completed during the year, nor does it include estimates for any gains or losses that may be incurred as a result of the potential sale of 1901 Market Street. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates based on a variety of factors, particularly the timing of any future acquisitions and dispositions, as well as other factors discussed under "Forward Looking Statements" below.

Note that individual quarters may fluctuate on both a cash basis and an accrual basis due to lease commencements and expirations, abatement periods, the timing of repairs and maintenance expenses, capital expenditures, capital markets activities, seasonal general and administrative expenses, accrued potential performance-based compensation expenses, and one-time revenue or expense events. In addition, the Company's guidance is based on information available to management as of the date of this release.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this release and the accompanying quarterly supplemental information as of and for the period ended December 31, 2019 contain certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including FFO, Core FFO, AFFO, Same Store NOI (cash and accrual basis), Property NOI (cash and accrual basis), EBITDAre, and Core EBITDA. Definitions and reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP metrics are included below and in the accompanying quarterly supplemental information.
Each of the non-GAAP measures included in this release and the accompanying quarterly supplemental financial information has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company’s results calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of non-GAAP measures in this release and the accompanying quarterly supplemental information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies, including other REITs. The Company may also change the calculation of any of the non-GAAP measures included in this news release and the accompanying supplemental financial information from time to time in light of its then existing operations.

The Company intends for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable. Such information is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of the Company`s performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "continue" or similar words or phrases that are predictions of future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Examples of such statements in this press release include whether the Company will continue to experience leasing momentum across its various markets; whether the Company's leasing activity for the year ended December 31, 2019 will result in future rent growth; whether the anticipated acquisition of a 1.4 million square foot project in Dallas, TX will close; whether the sale of 1901 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA will occur; and the Company's estimated range of Net Income, Depreciation, Amortization, NAREIT FFO/Core FFO and NAREIT FFO/Core FFO per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2020.




The following are some of the factors that could cause the Company`s actual results and its expectations to differ materially from those described in the Company`s forward-looking statements: economic, regulatory, socio-economic and/or technology changes (including accounting standards) that impact the real estate market generally, or that could affect patterns of use of commercial office space; the impact of competition on our efforts to renew existing leases or re-let space on terms similar to existing leases; changes in the economies and other conditions affecting the office sector in general and the specific markets in which we operate; lease terminations or lease defaults, particularly by one of our large lead tenants; adverse market and economic conditions, including any resulting impairment charges on both our long-lived assets or goodwill resulting therefrom; the success of our real estate strategies and investment objectives, including our ability to identify and consummate suitable acquisitions and divestitures; the illiquidity of real estate investments, including regulatory restrictions to which REITs are subject and the resulting impediment on our ability to quickly respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties; the risks and uncertainties associated with our acquisition and disposition of properties, many of which risks and uncertainties may not be known at the time of acquisition or disposition; development and construction delays and resultant increased costs and risks; our real estate development strategies may not be successful; future acts of terrorism or armed hostilities in any of the major metropolitan areas in which we own properties, or future cybersecurity attacks against us or any of our tenants; costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations; additional risks and costs associated with directly managing properties occupied by government tenants; significant price and volume fluctuations in the public markets, including on the exchange which we listed our common stock; the effect of future offerings of debt or equity securities or changes in market interest rates on the value of our common stock; changes in the method pursuant to which the LIBOR rates are determined and the potential phasing out of LIBOR; uncertainties associated with environmental and other regulatory matters; potential changes in political environment and reduction in federal and/or state funding of our governmental tenants, including an increased risk of default by government tenants during periods in which state or federal governments are shut down or on furlough; any change in the financial condition of any of our large lead tenants; changes in the financial condition of our tenants directly or indirectly resulting from uncertainty surrounding the United Kingdom’s withdrawal from the European Union; the effect of any litigation to which we are, or may become, subject; changes in tax laws impacting REITs and real estate in general, as well as our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”); the future effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures; and other factors, including the risk factors discussed under Item 1A. of Piedmont’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this press release.

(1) Excludes depreciation of non real estate assets.
(2) Capital expenditures of a recurring nature related to tenant improvements and leasing commissions that do not incrementally enhance the underlying assets' income generating capacity. Tenant improvements, leasing commissions, building capital and deferred lease incentives incurred to lease space that was vacant at acquisition, leasing costs for spaces vacant for greater than one year, leasing costs for spaces at newly acquired properties for which in-place leases expire shortly after acquisition, improvements associated with the expansion of a building and renovations that change the underlying classification of a building are excluded from this measure.




*Definitions:
Funds From Operations ("FFO"): The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property and impairment losses, adding back depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after the same adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. These adjustments can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effects of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs, which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. The Company also believes that FFO can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. However, other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to that of such other REITs.
Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO"): The Company calculates Core FFO by starting with FFO, as defined by NAREIT, and adjusting for gains or losses on the extinguishment of swaps and/or debt, acquisition-related expenses (that are not capitalized) and any significant non-recurring items. Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Core FFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effects of certain items which can create significant earnings volatility, but which do not directly relate to the Company’s core business operations. As a result, the Company believes that Core FFO can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and provides a more meaningful predictor of future earnings potential. Other REITs may not define Core FFO in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Core FFO may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO"): The Company calculates AFFO by starting with Core FFO and adjusting for non-incremental capital expenditures and acquisition-related costs (that are not capitalized) and then adding back non-cash items including: non-real estate depreciation, straight-lined rents and fair value lease adjustments, non-cash components of interest expense and compensation expense, and by making similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that AFFO is helpful to investors as a meaningful supplemental comparative performance measure of our ability to make incremental capital investments. Other REITs may not define AFFO in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of AFFO may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

(1)Other investments consist of our investments in active redevelopment and development projects, land, and recently completed redevelopment and development projects for which some portion of operating expenses were capitalized during the current or prior reporting periods. The operating results from Two Pierce Place in Itasca, IL are included in this line item.




*Definitions:

EBITDAre: The Company calculates EBITDAre in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines EBITDAre as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) adjusted for gains or losses from sales of property, impairment losses, depreciation on real estate assets, amortization on real estate assets, interest expense and taxes, along with the same adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Some of the adjustments mentioned can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates. EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it provides a metric for understanding the Company’s results from ongoing operations without taking into account the effects of non-cash expenses (such as depreciation and amortization) and capitalization and capital structure expenses (such as interest expense and taxes). The Company also believes that EBITDAre can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. However, other REITs may not define EBITDAre in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of EBITDAre may not be comparable to that of such other REITs.
Core EBITDA: The Company calculates Core EBITDA as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and incrementally removing any impairment losses, gains or losses from sales of property and other significant infrequent items that create volatility within our earnings and make it difficult to determine the earnings generated by our core ongoing business. Core EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Core EBITDA is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it provides a metric for understanding the performance of the Company’s results from ongoing operations without taking into account the effects of non-cash expenses (such as depreciation and amortization), as well as items that are not part of normal day-to-day operations of the Company’s business. Other REITs may not define Core EBITDA in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Core EBITDA may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
Property Net Operating Income ("Property NOI"): The Company calculates Property NOI by starting with Core EBITDA and adjusting for general and administrative expense, income associated with property management performed by Piedmont for other organizations and other income or expense items for the Company, such as interest income from loan investments or costs from the pursuit of non-consummated transactions. The Company may present this measure on an accrual basis or a cash basis. When presented on a cash basis, the effects of straight lined rents and fair value lease revenue are also eliminated. Property NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Property NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental comparative performance measure of income generated by its properties alone without the administrative overhead of the Company. Other REITs may not define Property NOI in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Property NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
Same Store Net Operating Income ("Same Store NOI"): The Company calculates Same Store NOI as Property NOI attributable to the properties for which the following criteria were met during the entire span of the current and prior year reporting periods: (i) they were owned, (ii) they were not under development / redevelopment, and (iii) none of the operating expenses for which were capitalized. Same Store NOI also excludes amounts attributable to land assets. The Company may present this measure on an accrual basis or a cash basis. When presented on a cash basis, the effects of straight lined rents and fair value lease revenue are also eliminated. Same Store NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Same Store NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental comparative performance measure of the income generated from the same group of properties from one period to the next. Other REITs may not define Same Store NOI in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Same Store NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

Notice to Readers:
Please refer to page 44 for a discussion of important risks related to the business of Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc., as well as an investment in its securities, including risks that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from results and events referred to in the forward-looking information. Considering these risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and limitations, the forward-looking statements about leasing, financial operations, leasing prospects, acquisitions, dispositions, etc. contained in this quarterly supplemental information report may differ from actual results.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. In addition, many of the schedules herein contain rounding to the nearest thousands or millions and, therefore, the schedules may not total due to this rounding convention.
To supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this report contains certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including FFO, Core FFO, AFFO, Same Store NOI, Property NOI, EBITDAre and Core EBITDA. Definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP metrics are included beginning on page 38. Each of the non-GAAP measures included in this report has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company’s results calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of non-GAAP measures in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies, including other REITs. The Company may also change the calculation of any of the non-GAAP measures included in this report from time to time in light of its then existing operations.
In certain presentations herein, the Company has provided disaggregated financial and operational data (for example, some pieces of information are displayed by geography, industry, or lease expiration year) for informational purposes for readers; however, regardless of the various presentation approaches taken herein, we continue to evaluate and utilize our consolidated financial results in making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing our performance.

Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc.
Financial Highlights
As of December 31, 2019

Financial Results (1)

Net income attributable to Piedmont for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was $162.5 million, or $1.29 per share (diluted), compared to $45.4 million, or $0.35 per share (diluted), for the same quarter in 2018. Net income attributable to Piedmont for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $229.3 million, or $1.82 per share (diluted), compared to $130.3 million, or $1.00 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2018. The increase in net income attributable to Piedmont for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 when compared to the same periods in 2018 was principally due to the larger amount of net gains on the sales of assets in 2019 when compared to 2018, partially offset by an impairment loss recorded in the fourth quarter of 2019, higher amortization expense in 2019 when compared to 2018 attributable to over $470 million of acquisitions completed since the beginning of 2018, and higher general and administrative expenses in 2019 (discussed below).

Funds from operations (FFO) for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was $58.6 million, or $0.46 per share (diluted), compared to $57.9 million, or $0.45 per share (diluted), for the same quarter in 2018. FFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $222.9 million, or $1.77 per share (diluted), compared to $225.0 million, or $1.72 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2018. The change in dollar amount of FFO for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 when compared to the same periods in 2018 was principally the result of growth in rental income attributable to increased average commenced occupancy in 2019 when compared to 2018 largely offset by higher general and administrative expenses in 2019 resulting from a) retirement and separation expenses incurred during the second quarter of 2019 associated with the retirement on June 30 of two senior officers, including our former Chief Executive Officer, and b) higher non-cash long-term performance incentive compensation accruals associated with the Company's total shareholder return outperformance relative to peers during the periods.

Core funds from operations (Core FFO) for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was $58.6 million, or $0.46 per share (diluted), compared to $57.9 million, or $0.45 per share (diluted), for the same quarter in 2018. Core FFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $226.1 million, or $1.79 per share (diluted), compared to $226.6 million, or $1.73 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2018. The changes in dollar amount of Core FFO for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 when compared to the same periods in 2018 was largely the result of the items described above for changes in FFO.

All of the per share results for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 were positively influenced by the Company's repurchases of common stock since the beginning of 2018, amounting to approximately 17.2 million shares, or about $314 million, funded through asset dispositions. No shares were repurchased during the fourth quarter of 2019.

Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) for the quarter ended December 31, 2019 was $34.9 million, compared to $40.7 million for the same quarter in 2018. AFFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was $165.7 million, compared to $171.5 million for the same period in 2018. The decrease in AFFO for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 when compared to the same periods in 2018 was primarily due to a larger amount of recently executed leases and the corresponding increase in non-incremental capital expenditures in 2019.

Operations and Leasing

As of December 31, 2019, Piedmont had 54 in-service office properties located primarily in seven major office markets in the eastern portion of the United States and one, 487,000 square foot redevelopment property located in Chicago. This redevelopment property is excluded from Piedmont's in-service operating portfolio for the purposes of statistical reporting throughout this supplemental report. For additional information regarding this redevelopment project, please refer to page 37 of this report.

On a square footage leased basis, our total in-service office portfolio was 91.2% leased as of December 31, 2019, as compared to 91.9% at September 30, 2019 and 93.3% at December 31, 2018. The reduction in leased percentage was primarily influenced by asset transactions completed in 2019 whereby the Company sold assets that were more highly leased on average than those that it acquired, as well as increased vacancy at 1155 Perimeter Center West in Atlanta, GA. Please refer to page 26 for additional leased percentage information.

The weighted average remaining lease term of our in-service portfolio was 7.0 years(2) as of December 31, 2019 as compared to 6.6 years at December 31, 2018. Our weighted average adjusted Annualized Lease Revenue(3) per square foot for our in-service portfolio was $35.43 as of December 31, 2019.

FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. See page 38 for definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures, and pages 14 and 40 for reconciliations of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO to Net Income.
(2) 
Remaining lease term (after taking into account leases for vacant spaces which had been executed but not commenced as of December 31, 2019) is weighted based on Annualized Lease Revenue, as defined on page 38.
(3) Annualized Lease Revenue is adjusted for buildings at which tenants pay operating expenses directly to include such operating expenses as if they were paid by the Company and reimbursed by the tenants as under a typical net lease structure, thereby incorporating the effective gross rental rate for those buildings.

During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the company completed approximately 867,000 square feet of leasing activity. Of the total leasing activity completed during the quarter, we signed new tenant leases for approximately 131,000 square feet. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, the Company completed approximately 2,270,000 square feet of leasing activity, of which approximately 698,000 square feet was related to new tenant leases. The average committed capital for tenant improvements and leasing commissions per square foot per year of lease term for all leasing activity completed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 (net of commitment expirations during the period) was $5.86 (see page 32).

The 2019 leasing results include one very large lease renewal and expansion. In October 2019, the Commissioner of General Services of the State of New York executed an approximately 20-year lease renewal and expansion for the State of New York comprised of roughly 520,000 square feet at 60 Broad Street in New York, NY. The lease was executed at compelling economics, including a large accrual-basis roll up in rent when comparing the expired lease's accrual rent to the new lease's accrual rent and no downtime.

Of the 867,000 square feet of leases executed during the three months ended December 31, 2019, nine leases were greater than 15,000 square feet at our consolidated office properties. Information on those leases is set forth below.

At the end of the fourth quarter of 2019, there was one tenant whose lease individually contributed greater than 1% in Annualized Lease Revenue expiring during the eighteen month period following December 31, 2019.

Future Lease Commencements and Abatements

As of December 31, 2019, our overall leased percentage was 91.2% and our economic leased percentage was 85.5%. The difference between overall leased percentage and economic leased percentage is attributable to two factors:

1)leases which have been contractually entered into for currently vacant spaces but have not yet commenced (amounting to 347,836 square feet of leases as of December 31, 2019, or 2.2% of the portfolio); and
2)leases which have commenced but are within rental abatement periods (amounting to 660,491 square feet of leases as of December 31, 2019, or a 3.5% impact to leased percentage on an economic basis).

(1) Approximately 35,000 square feet will expire in 2024.

6


The gap between reported leased percentage and economic leased percentage will fluctuate over time as (1) new leases are signed for vacant spaces, (2) abatements associated with existing or newly executed leases commence and expire (see below for more detail on existing large leases with abatements; the gap this quarter being heavily influenced by the Transocean lease for 301,000 square feet of space under abatement at Enclave Place in Houston, TX, attributable for 1.9% of the 5.7% gap), and/or (3) properties are bought and sold. Consequently, the absolute level of economic leased percentage and its growth over time are the primary management metrics and not the spread between the reported and economic leased percentages at any one point in time. As additional leasing is completed for vacant space and the overall portfolio leased percentage increases, the economic leased percentage will naturally follow as new leases commence and any related abatement periods expire. Since the beginning of 2014, the reported leased percentage has increased approximately 5% and the economic leased percentage has increased approximately 12%.

Piedmont has leases with many large corporate office space users. The average size of lease in the Company's portfolio is approximately 20,000 square feet. Due to the large size and length of term of new leases, Piedmont typically signs leases several months in advance of their anticipated lease commencement dates. Presented below is a schedule of uncommenced leases greater than 50,000 square feet and their anticipated commencement dates. Lease renewals are excluded from this schedule.

New leases frequently provide rental abatement concessions to tenants and these abatements typically occur at the beginning of the leases. The currently reported cash net operating income and AFFO understate the Company's long-term cash generation ability from existing signed leases due to several leases being in abatement periods. Presented below are two schedules related to abatements. The first is a schedule of leases with abatements of 50,000 square feet or greater that expired during the fourth quarter of 2019, and the second is a schedule of leases with abatements of 50,000 square feet or greater that are either currently under abatement or will be so within the next twelve months.

(1) In the construction permitting process, the tenant has been required by the local government to make modifications to its space plans that have resulted in a delay of the receipt of construction permits. The delay in the construction process has resulted in a revised estimated commencement date for the lease.
(2) The State of New York lease does not contain any rental abatement provisions. The tenant's space will be reconstructed over a period of approximately four years. During the construction period, the tenant will not be required to pay rental charges for certain spaces that are under construction and not usable by the tenant. The amount of space for which the tenant will not be required to pay rent will vary over time and is expected to average approximately 80,000 square feet over the construction time period.
(3) While GAAP revenue recognition commenced during Q4 2019 after the substantial completion of the tenant's improvements to the space, the rental abatement period began July 2019 (at the commencement of the contracted lease period).

Financing and Capital Activity

Among Piedmont's stated strategic objectives is to harvest capital through the disposition of non-core assets and assets in which the Company believes full value potential during its ownership has been reached and to use the sale proceeds to:
invest in real estate assets with higher overall return prospects and/or strategic merits in one of our identified operating markets where we have a significant operating presence with a competitive advantage and that otherwise meet our strategic criteria;
reduce leverage levels by repaying outstanding debt; and/or
repurchase Company stock when it is believed to be trading at a significant discount to NAV.
Information on the Company's recent accomplishments in furtherance of its strategic objectives is presented below.

Dispositions
On October 28, 2019, Piedmont completed the sale of 500 West Monroe Street, a 967,000 square foot, 100% leased, 46-story, trophy office building located in the West Loop of downtown Chicago, IL, for $412 million, or approximately $426 per square foot. The Company acquired the building through a UCC foreclosure in 2011 at an implied valuation of approximately 
$227.5 million. The Company successfully released substantially all of the space in the building, bringing it to full occupancy and creating significant value for its shareholders. The Company recorded a gain of approximately $158 million from the sale of the asset. For federal tax purposes, the majority of the sale proceeds were deemed reinvested during the second and third quarters into Galleria 100, Galleria 400 and Galleria 600 through reverse 1031 exchange investment structures; and, as a result, a special dividend distribution was not required despite the large gain realized from the transaction. The Company used funds drawn from its line of credit to purchase Galleria 400 and Galleria 600 in the third quarter of 2019 in advance of the sale of 500 West Monroe Street. Once proceeds from the sale of 500 West Monroe Street were available in the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company paid down a significant portion of the outstanding balance on its revolving line of credit.

Acquisitions
There were no acquisitions completed during the quarter ended December 31, 2019.

Information regarding property transaction activity effected after the end of the fourth quarter of 2019 can be found under the Subsequent Events heading below. For additional information on acquisitions and dispositions completed over the previous eighteen months, please refer to page 36.

Development / Redevelopment
During the fourth quarter of 2018, the Company substantially completed the construction phase of a $14 million redevelopment at Two Pierce Place in Itasca, IL. The project included a renovation of the property's lobby and exterior plaza, an elevator modernization, the enhancement and addition of building amenities, and the acquisition and improvement of additional land to increase the building's parking ratio. The building is currently in the lease-up phase of the redevelopment project; therefore, due to its redevelopment status, this property is excluded from Piedmont's in-service operating portfolio for the purposes of statistical reporting throughout this supplemental report. Beginning January 1, 2020, Two Pierce Place will be added back to the in-service portfolio and included in the statistical reporting on the portfolio.

During the third quarter of 2019, Piedmont completed the construction of an $8.5 million tenant-only amenity center at US Bancorp Center in Minneapolis, MN. The amenity center, with approximately 24-foot ceilings and large-windowed views of the downtown skyline, is located on the thirty-first floor of the building in former storage space and provides to tenants a full fitness center, a lounge and conference rooms. The project was completed on schedule and within budget.

During the fourth quarter of 2019, Piedmont commenced an approximately $18.5 million redevelopment of 200 South Orange Avenue in Orlando, FL. The project will allow the Company to reposition the property, creating a premier environment for downtown office tenants - vibrant, inviting, communal and modern. The redevelopment plan includes a reimagined lobby and entry experience, an energized and redesigned outdoor park, the addition of a food hall and restaurant, an upgraded conference center, a tenant lounge, and a new crown lighting system. As of December 31, 2019, the project remained on schedule and within budget.

Additional detail on the Company's developable land parcels, all of which are located adjacent to existing Piedmont properties, as well as information on its redevelopment project, can be found on page 37.

Finance
As of December 31, 2019, our ratio of total debt to total gross assets was 32.5%, and the same measure at December 31, 2018 was 36.2%. This debt ratio is based on total principal amount outstanding for our various loans as of the relevant measurement date.

As of December 31, 2019, our average net debt to Core EBITDA ratio was 5.4 x, and the same measure at December 31, 2018 was 5.8 x.

Stock Repurchase Program
No repurchases of the Company's common stock were completed during the fourth quarter of 2019. During 2018, the Company repurchased approximately 16.5 million shares at an average price of $18.28 per share, or approximately $301.5 million in aggregate (before the consideration of transaction costs) and, during 2019, it repurchased approximately 0.7 million shares at an
8


average price of $17.14 per share, or approximately $12.5 million in aggregate (before the consideration of transaction costs). As of quarter end, Board-approved capacity remaining for additional repurchases totaled approximately $74.1 million under the stock repurchase plan. Repurchases of stock under the program are made at the Company's discretion and are dependent on market conditions, the discount to estimated net asset value, other investment opportunities and other factors that the Company deems relevant.

Dividend
On October 30, 2019, the Board of Directors of Piedmont declared a dividend for the fourth quarter of 2019 in the amount of $0.21 per common share outstanding to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 29, 2019. The dividend was paid on January 3, 2020. The Company's dividend payout percentage (based upon record date) for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was 47% of Core FFO and 63% of AFFO.

Subsequent Events
On February 3, 2020, Piedmont entered into a binding contract for the purchase of a 1.4 million square foot, high quality, Class A office project in the Dallas market for approximately $400 million. The project is expected to generate greater than an 8% annual accrual-basis yield. The acquisition of the project will allow the Company to present prospective tenants in Dallas with a full spectrum of space offerings, as well as capture additional marketing and operating synergies with the Company's existing 2.1 million square foot Dallas portfolio. Piedmont intends to initially fund the acquisition using its available line of credit capacity; however, the acquisition of the project is anticipated to be funded ultimately by proceeds received from the disposition of 1901 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA. Similar to several recently completed transactions, the Company expects to complete the acquisition of the Dallas project through a reverse 1031 exchange investment structure.
On February 4, 2020, the Board of Directors of Piedmont declared a dividend for the first quarter of 2020 in the amount of $0.21 per common share outstanding to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 28, 2020. The dividend is expected to be paid on March 20, 2020.

Guidance for 2020

The following financial guidance for calendar year 2020 is based upon management's expectations at this time, including the anticipated acquisition of the Dallas project referenced above and the related anticipated disposition of 1901 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA. This financial guidance does not include the potential effects of any additional acquisition or disposition activity that may be completed during the year, nor does it include estimates for any gains or losses that may be incurred as a result of the potential sale of 1901 Market Street.

These estimates reflect management’s view of current market conditions and incorporate certain economic and operational assumptions and projections. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Note that individual quarters may fluctuate on both a cash basis and an accrual basis due to the timing of lease commencements and expirations, abatement periods, repairs and maintenance expenses, capital expenditures, capital markets activities, seasonal general and administrative expenses, accrued potential performance-based compensation expenses, and one-time revenue or expense events. In addition, the Company’s guidance is based on information available to management as of the date of this supplemental report.

(1) The presentation method used for this line is not in conformance with GAAP. To be in conformance with the current GAAP standard, the Company would need to combine amounts presented on the rental income line with amounts presented on the tenant reimbursements line and present that aggregated figure on one line entitled "rental and tenant reimbursement income." The amounts presented on this line were determined based upon the Company's interpretation of the rental charges and billing method provisions in each of the Company's lease documents.
(2) The gain on sale of real estate reflected in the fourth quarter of 2019 was nearly fully related to the sale of 500 West Monroe Street in Chicago, IL. The gain on sale of real estate reflected in the first quarter of 2019 was primarily related to the sale of One Independence Square in Washington, DC, on which the Company recorded a total gain of $33.2 million. The gain on sale of real estate reflected in the fourth quarter of 2018 was primarily related to the sale of 800 North Brand Boulevard in Glendale, CA, on which the Company recorded a $30.4 million gain.

(1)
Please refer to page 26 for additional leased percentage information.
(2)Economic leased percentage excludes the square footage associated with executed but not commenced leases for currently vacant spaces and the square footage associated with tenants receiving rental abatements (after proportional adjustments for tenants receiving only partial rental abatements). Due to variations in rental abatement structures whereby some abatements are provided for the first few months of each lease year as opposed to being provided entirely at the beginning of the lease, there will be variability to the economic leased percentage over time as abatements commence and expire. Please see the Future Lease Commencements and Abatements section of Financial Highlights for details on near-term abatements for large leases.
(3)Dividends are reflected in the quarter in which the record date occurred.
(4)Core EBITDA margin is calculated as Core EBITDA divided by total revenues.
(5)The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated as Core EBITDA divided by the sum of interest expense, principal amortization, capitalized interest and preferred dividends. The Company had no preferred dividends during any of the periods presented; the Company had capitalized interest of $502,646 for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, $542,505 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, $562,449 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, $527,551 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, and $526,032 for the quarter ended December 31, 2018; the Company had principal amortization of $345,948 for the quarter ended December 31, 2019, $255,303 for the quarter ended September 30, 2019, $251,793 for the quarter ended June 30, 2019, $165,936 for the quarter ended March 31, 2019, and $327,313 for the quarter ended December 31, 2018.
(6)For the purposes of this calculation, we annualize the period's Core EBITDA and use the average daily balance of debt outstanding during the period, less cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits and restricted cash as of the end of the period.
(7)Net debt is calculated as the total principal amount of debt outstanding minus cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits and restricted cash as of the end of the period.

(1) Includes our proportionate share of amounts attributable to consolidated properties.
(2) The Company has historically recognized approximately $2 to $3 million of termination income on an annual basis (over the last 5 years). Given the size of its asset base and the number of tenants with which it conducts business, Piedmont considers termination income of that magnitude to be a normal part of its operations and a recurring part of its revenue stream; however, the recognition of termination income is typically variable between quarters and throughout any given year and is dependent upon when during the year the Company receives termination notices from tenants. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, Piedmont recognized $0.6 million in termination income, as compared with $2.4 million during the same period in 2018. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, Piedmont recognized $2.8 million in termination income, as compared with $3.0 million during the same period in 2018.

NOTE:  The Company has provided disaggregated financial data for informational purposes for readers; however, regardless of the presentation approach used, we continue to evaluate and utilize our consolidated financial results in making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing our performance.
(1) The increase in Boston Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018 was primarily due to increased rental income associated with the renewal of the lease for the entirety of both 225 and 235 Presidential Way in Woburn, MA, as well as increased economic occupancy at 5 & 15 Wayside Road in Burlington, MA.
(2) The increase in Washington, D.C. Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018 was primarily due to increased economic occupancy at 1201 Eye Street and 400 Virginia Avenue, both located in Washington, D.C., and 4250 North Fairfax Drive, Arlington Gateway, and 3100 Clarendon Boulevard, all located in Arlington, VA. Contributing to the increase in Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was the recognition of $1.4 million of lease termination income during the first quarter of 2019 at 400 Virginia Avenue in Washington, D.C.
(3) The decrease in Atlanta Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to decreased rental income attributable to reduced average occupancy in 2019 at 1155 Perimeter Center West in Atlanta, GA. The increase in Atlanta Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily related to increased economic occupancy at Galleria 200 in Atlanta, GA.
(4) The increase in Minneapolis Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily attributable to increased economic occupancy at US Bancorp Center in Minneapolis, MN, and Crescent Ridge II in Minnetonka, MN.
(5) The decrease in Orlando Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily attributable to lease restructuring income recognized during the fourth quarter of 2018 at 200 South Orange Avenue in Orlando, FL. The increase in Orlando Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily attributable to increased economic occupancy at 400 TownPark in Lake Mary, FL and CNL Center II in Orlando, FL.
(6) The increase in Dallas Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018 was primarily due to increased economic occupancy associated with the cash rent commencement for the majority of a whole-building lease at 6011 Connection Drive as well as the recognition of $0.6 million of lease termination income during the fourth quarter of 2019 at Las Colinas Corporate Center I, both located in Irving, TX.
(7) The decrease in Other Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018 was primarily attributable to decreased economic occupancy at 1430 Enclave Parkway in Houston, TX.

(1)Includes our proportionate share of amounts attributable to consolidated properties.
(2)The Company has historically recognized approximately $2 to $3 million of termination income on an annual basis (over the last 5 years). Given the size of its asset base and the number of tenants with which it conducts business, Piedmont considers termination income of that magnitude to be a normal part of its operations and a recurring part of its revenue stream; however, the recognition of termination income is typically variable between quarters and throughout any given year and is dependent upon when during the year the Company receives termination notices from tenants. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, Piedmont recognized $0.6 million in termination income, as compared with $2.4 million during the same period in 2018. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, Piedmont recognized $2.8 million in termination income, as compared with $3.0 million during the same period in 2018.

NOTE:  The Company has provided disaggregated financial data for informational purposes for readers; however, regardless of the presentation approach used, we continue to evaluate and utilize our consolidated financial results in making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing our performance.
(1) The increase in New York Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018 was primarily due to increased rental income attributable to a lease renewal at a higher rental rate at 60 Broad Street in New York, NY. Contributing to the increase in New York Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was the recognition of $0.6 million of lease termination income during the third quarter of 2019 at 60 Broad Street in New York, NY.
(2) The increase in Boston Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to increased rental income resulting from the commencement of new leases at 5 & 15 Wayside Road in Burlington, MA.
(3) The increase in Washington, D.C. Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018 was primarily due to increased rental income resulting from the commencement of new and expansion leases at Arlington Gateway and 3100 Clarendon Boulevard, both located in Arlington, VA, as well as at 1201 Eye Street in Washington, D.C. Contributing to the increase in Washington, D.C. Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 was the recognition of $1.4 million of lease termination income during the first quarter of 2019 at 400 Virginia Avenue in Washington, D.C.
(4) The decrease in Atlanta Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same periods in 2018 was primarily due to decreased rental income attributable to reduced average occupancy in 2019 at 1155 Perimeter Center West in Atlanta, GA.
(5) The decrease in Orlando Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily attributable to lease restructuring income recognized during the fourth quarter of 2018 at 200 South Orange Avenue in Orlando, FL.
(6) The increase in Minneapolis Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to increased rental income resulting from the commencement of new and expansion leases at US Bancorp Center in Minneapolis, MN, and Crescent Ridge II in Minnetonka, MN.
(7) The increase in Dallas Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to the recognition of approximately $0.6 million of lease termination income during the fourth quarter of 2019 at Las Colinas Corporate Center I in Irving, TX.
(8) The decrease in Other Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to decreased rental income attributable to a rental rate rolldown, a lower leased percentage and an operating expense recovery abatement related to the lease renewal and expansion of the building's primary tenant in early 2019 at 1430 Enclave Parkway in Houston, TX.

(1)All of Piedmont's outstanding debt as of December 31, 2019 was interest-only debt with the exception of the $28.7 million of outstanding debt associated with 5 Wall Street located in Burlington, MA.
(2)Weighted average stated interest rate is calculated based upon the principal amounts outstanding.
(3)The amount of floating rate debt represents the $100 million in principal amount of the $250 million unsecured term loan that remained unhedged as of December 31, 2019. The $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility had no outstanding balance as of December 31, 2019. The $250 million unsecured term loan that closed in 2018 has a stated variable rate. However, Piedmont entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively fix the interest rate for a portion of the principal balance of the loan. The Company entered into $100 million in notional amount of seven-year interest rate swap agreements and $50 million in notional amount of two-year interest rate swap agreements, resulting in an effectively fixed interest rate a) on $150 million of the term loan at 4.11% through March 29, 2020 and b) on $100 million of the term loan at 4.21% from March 30, 2020 through the loan's maturity date of March 31, 2025, assuming no credit rating change for the Company. The amount of floating rate debt does not include Piedmont's $300 million unsecured term loan, which has a stated variable interest rate, because the interest rate has been effectively fixed through interest rate swap agreements. The $300 million unsecured term loan, therefore, is presented herein as a fixed rate loan. Additional details can be found on the following page.

(1)All of Piedmont’s outstanding debt as of December 31, 2019, was interest-only debt with the exception of the $28.7 million of outstanding debt associated with 5 Wall Street located in Burlington, MA.
(2)The loan is amortizing based on a 25-year amortization schedule.
(3)The loan has a stated interest rate of 5.55%; however, upon acquiring 5 Wall Street and assuming the loan, the Company marked the debt to its estimated fair value as of that time, resulting in an effective interest rate of 3.75%.
(4)The stated interest rate on the $160 million fixed-rate loan is 3.48%. After the application of interest rate hedges, the effective cost of the financing is approximately 3.58%.
(5)Weighted average is based on the principal amounts outstanding and interest rates at December 31, 2019.
(6)The $300 million unsecured term loan that closed in 2011 has a stated variable rate; however, Piedmont entered into interest rate swap agreements which effectively fix the interest rate on this loan at 3.20% through January 15, 2020, assuming no credit rating change for the Company.
(7)All of Piedmont’s outstanding debt as of December 31, 2019, was term debt with the exception of our unsecured revolving credit facility (which had no balance outstanding as of December 31, 2019). The $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility has an initial maturity date of September 30, 2022; however, there are two, six-month extension options available under the facility providing for a total extension of up to one year to September 29, 2023. The initial maturity date is presented on this schedule.
(8)There was no balance outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2019; therefore, no interest rate is presented. Had any draws been made under the $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2019, the applicable interest rate for such draws would have been approximately 2.70%. Piedmont may select from multiple interest rate options with each draw under the facility, including the prime rate and various length LIBOR locks. The base interest rate associated with each LIBOR interest period selection is subject to an additional spread (0.90% as of December 31, 2019) based on Piedmont’s then current credit rating.
(9)The $350 million unsecured senior notes were offered for sale at 99.601% of the principal amount. The resulting effective cost of the financing is approximately 3.45% before the consideration of transaction costs and proceeds from interest rate hedges. After the application of proceeds from interest rate hedges, the effective cost of the financing is approximately 3.43%.
(10)The $400 million unsecured senior notes were offered for sale at 99.791% of the principal amount. The resulting effective cost of the financing is approximately 4.48% before the consideration of transaction costs and proceeds from interest rate hedges. After the application of proceeds from interest rate hedges, the effective cost of the financing is approximately 4.10%.
(11)The $250 million unsecured term loan that closed in 2018 has a stated variable rate; however, Piedmont entered into $100 million in notional amount of seven-year interest rate swap agreements and $50 million in notional amount of two-year interest rate swap agreements, resulting in an effectively fixed interest rate a) on $150 million of the term loan at 4.11% through March 29, 2020 and b) on $100 million of the term loan at 4.21% from March 30, 2020 through the loan's maturity date of March 31, 2025, assuming no credit rating change for the Company. For the portion of the loan that continues to have a variable interest rate, Piedmont may select from multiple interest rate options, including the prime rate and various length LIBOR locks. The base interest rate associated with each LIBOR interest period selection is subject to an additional spread (1.60% as of December 31, 2019) based on Piedmont's then current credit rating.
(12)The GAAP accounting adjustments relate to original issue discounts, third-party fees, and lender fees resulting from the procurement processes for our various debt facilities, along with debt fair value adjustments associated with the assumed 5 Wall Street debt. The original issue discounts and fees, along with the debt fair value adjustments, are amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the related debt.

(1)Bank debt covenant compliance calculations relate to specific calculations detailed in the relevant credit agreements.
(2)Defined as EBITDA for the trailing four quarters (including the Company's share of EBITDA from unconsolidated interests), excluding one-time or non-recurring gains or losses, less a $0.15 per square foot capital reserve, and excluding the impact of straight line rent leveling adjustments and amortization of intangibles divided by the Company's share of fixed charges, as more particularly described in the credit agreements. This definition of fixed charge coverage ratio as prescribed by our credit agreements is different from the fixed charge coverage ratio definition employed elsewhere within this report.
(3)Defined as net operating income for the trailing four quarters for unencumbered assets (including the Company's share of net operating income from partially-owned entities and subsidiaries that are deemed to be unencumbered) less a $0.15 per square foot capital reserve divided by the Company's share of interest expense associated with unsecured financings only, as more particularly described in the credit agreements.
(4)Bond covenant compliance calculations relate to specific calculations prescribed in the relevant debt agreements. Please refer to the Indenture dated May 9, 2013, and the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture dated March 6, 2014, for detailed information about the calculations.
(5)For the purposes of this calculation, we use the average daily balance of debt outstanding during the period, less cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits and restricted cash as of the end of the period.
(6)Fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated as Core EBITDA divided by the sum of interest expense, principal amortization, capitalized interest and preferred dividends. The Company had no preferred dividends during the periods ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

(1)This schedule presents all tenants contributing 1.0% or more to Annualized Lease Revenue.
(2)Credit rating may reflect the credit rating of the parent or a guarantor. When available, both the Standard & Poor's credit rating and the Moody's credit rating are provided. The absence of a credit rating for a tenant is not an indication of the creditworthiness of the tenant; in most cases, the lack of a credit rating reflects that the tenant has not sought such a rating.
(3)Unless otherwise indicated, Lease Expiration represents the expiration year of the majority of the square footage leased by the tenant.

(1)Credit rating may reflect the credit rating of the parent or a guarantor. Where differences exist between the Standard & Poor's credit rating for a tenant and the Moody's credit rating for a tenant, the higher credit rating is selected for this analysis.
(2)The classification of a tenant as "not rated" is not an indication of the creditworthiness of the tenant; in most cases, the lack of a credit rating reflects that the tenant has not sought such a rating. Included in this category are such tenants as Independence Blue Cross, Piper Jaffray, Brother International, and RaceTrac Petroleum.

(1)The populations analyzed for this analysis consist of consolidated leases executed during the relevant period with lease terms of greater than one year. Leases associated with storage spaces, management offices, and newly acquired assets for which there is less than one year of operating history are excluded from this analysis.
(2)For the purposes of this analysis, the last twelve months of cash paying rents of the previous leases are compared to the first twelve months of cash paying rents of the new leases in order to calculate the percentage change.
(3)For the purposes of this analysis, the accrual basis rents of the previous leases are compared to the accrual basis rents of the new leases in order to calculate the percentage change. For newly signed leases which have variations in accrual basis rents, whether because of known future expansions, contractions, lease expense recovery structure changes, or other similar reasons, the weighted average of such varying accrual basis rents is used for the purposes of this analysis.
(4)For leases under which a tenant may use, at its discretion, a portion of its tenant improvement allowance for expenses other than those related to improvements to its space, an assumption is made that the tenant elects to use any such portion of its tenant improvement allowance for improvements to its space prior to the commencement of its lease, unless the Company is notified otherwise by the tenant. This assumption is made based upon historical usage patterns of tenant improvement allowances by the Company's tenants.
(5)Represents leases signed at our consolidated office assets that do not qualify for inclusion in the analysis, primarily because the spaces for which the new leases were signed had been vacant for more than one year.

These adjustments effectively incorporate known roll ups and roll downs into the expiration schedule.
(2)
Includes leases with an expiration date of December 31, 2019, comprised of approximately 102,000 square feet and Annualized Lease Revenue of $3.1 million.
(3)Leases and other revenue-producing agreements on a month-to-month basis, comprised of approximately 26,000 square feet and Annualized Lease Revenue of $1.1 million, are assigned a lease expiration date of a year and a day beyond the period end date.

NOTE:This information is presented for our consolidated office assets only and excludes activity associated with storage and license spaces.
(1)For leases under which a tenant may use, at its discretion, a portion of its tenant improvement allowance for expenses other than those related to improvements to its space, an assumption is made that the tenant elects to use any such portion of its tenant improvement allowance for improvements to its space prior to the commencement of its lease, unless the Company is notified otherwise by the tenant. This assumption is made based upon historical usage patterns of tenant improvement allowances by the Company's tenants.
(2)During the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, we completed three large lease renewals with significant capital commitments: VMware at 1155 Perimeter Center West in Atlanta, GA, Siemens at Crescent Ridge II in Minnetonka, MN, and the State of New York at 60 Broad Street in New York, NY. If the costs associated with these leases were to be removed from the average committed capital cost calculation, the average committed capital cost per square foot per year of lease term for renewal leases completed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 would be $3.41. If the costs associated with the State of New York renewal were to be removed from the average committed capital cost calculation for the three months ended December 31, 2019, the average committed capital cost per square foot per year of lease term for renewal leases during that period would be $3.93.
(3)During 2018, we completed two large leasing transactions in the Houston, TX market with large capital commitments: a 254,000 square foot lease renewal and expansion with Schlumberger Technology Corporation at 1430 Enclave Parkway and a 301,000 square foot, full-building lease with Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling at Enclave Place. If the costs associated with those leases were to be removed from the average committed capital cost calculation, the average committed capital cost per square foot per year of lease term for renewal leases, new leases and total leases completed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 would be $5.27, $6.02, and $5.70, respectively.
(4)The Company has historically reported the maximum amount of capital to which it committed in leasing transactions as of the signing of the leases with no subsequent updates for variations and/or changes in tenants' uses of tenant improvement allowances. Many times, tenants do not fully use the allowances provided in their leases or let portions of their tenant improvement allowances expire. In an effort to provide additional clarity on the actual costs of completed leasing transactions, tenant improvement allowances that expired or became no longer available to tenants are disclosed in this section and are deducted from the capital commitments per square foot of leased space in the periods in which they expired in an effort to provide a better estimation of leasing transaction costs over time.

Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc.
Supplemental Definitions
Included below are definitions of various terms used throughout this supplemental report, including definitions of certain non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons why the Company’s management believes these measures provide useful information to investors about the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Reconciliations of any non-GAAP financial measures defined below are included beginning on page 40.
Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO"): The Company calculates AFFO by starting with Core FFO and adjusting for non-incremental capital expenditures and acquisition-related costs (that are not capitalized) and then adding back non-cash items including: non-real estate depreciation, straight-lined rents and fair value lease adjustments, non-cash components of interest expense and compensation expense, and by making similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that AFFO is helpful to investors as a meaningful supplemental comparative performance measure of our ability to make incremental capital investments. Other REITs may not define AFFO in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of AFFO may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
Annualized Lease Revenue ("ALR"): ALR is calculated by multiplying (i) rental payments (defined as base rent plus operating expense reimbursements, if payable by the tenant on a monthly basis under the terms of a lease that has been executed, but excluding a) rental abatements and b) rental payments related to executed but not commenced leases for space that was covered by an existing lease), by (ii) 12. In instances in which contractual rents or operating expense reimbursements are collected on an annual, semi-annual, or quarterly basis, such amounts are multiplied by a factor of 1, 2, or 4, respectively, to calculate the annualized figure. For leases that have been executed but not commenced relating to un-leased space, ALR is calculated by multiplying (i) the monthly base rental payment (excluding abatements) plus any operating expense reimbursements for the initial month of the lease term, by (ii) 12. Unless stated otherwise, this measure excludes revenues associated with development properties and properties taken out of service for redevelopment, if any.
Core EBITDA: The Company calculates Core EBITDA as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and incrementally removing any impairment losses, gains or losses from sales of property and other significant infrequent items that create volatility within our earnings and make it difficult to determine the earnings generated by our core ongoing business. Core EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Core EBITDA is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it provides a metric for understanding the performance of the Company’s results from ongoing operations without taking into account the effects of non-cash expenses (such as depreciation and amortization), as well as items that are not part of normal day-to-day operations of the Company’s business. Other REITs may not define Core EBITDA in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Core EBITDA may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO"): The Company calculates Core FFO by starting with FFO, as defined by NAREIT, and adjusting for gains or losses on the extinguishment of swaps and/or debt, acquisition-related expenses (that are not capitalized) and any significant non-recurring items. Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Core FFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effects of certain items which can create significant earnings volatility, but which do not directly relate to the Company’s core business operations. As a result, the Company believes that Core FFO can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and provides a more meaningful predictor of future earnings potential. Other REITs may not define Core FFO in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Core FFO may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
EBITDA: EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
EBITDAre: The Company calculates EBITDAre in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines EBITDAre as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) adjusted for gains or losses from sales of property, impairment losses, depreciation on real estate assets, amortization on real estate assets, interest expense and taxes, along with the same adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Some of the adjustments mentioned can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates. EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it provides a metric for understanding the Company’s results from ongoing operations without taking into account the effects of non-cash expenses (such as depreciation and amortization) and capitalization and capital structure expenses (such as interest expense and taxes). The Company also believes that EBITDAre can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. However, other REITs may not define EBITDAre in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of EBITDAre may not be comparable to that of such other REITs.
Funds From Operations ("FFO"): The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains or losses from sales of property and impairment losses, adding back depreciation and amortization on real estate assets, and after the same adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. These adjustments can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effects of depreciation, amortization and gains or losses from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs, which implicitly assumes that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. The Company also believes that FFO can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. However, other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to that of such other REITs.
Gross Assets: Gross Assets is defined as total assets with the add-back of accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization related to real estate assets and accumulated amortization related to deferred lease costs.
Gross Real Estate Assets: Gross Real Estate Assets is defined as total real estate assets with the add-back of accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization related to real estate assets.
Incremental Capital Expenditures: Incremental Capital Expenditures are defined as capital expenditures of a non-recurring nature that incrementally enhance the underlying assets' income generating capacity. Tenant improvements, leasing commissions, building capital and deferred lease incentives ("Leasing Costs") incurred to lease space that was vacant at acquisition, Leasing Costs for spaces vacant for greater than one year, Leasing Costs for spaces at newly acquired properties for which in-place leases expire shortly after acquisition, improvements associated with the expansion of a building, renovations that change the underlying classification of a building, and deferred building maintenance capital identified at and completed shortly after acquisition are included in this measure.
Non-Incremental Capital Expenditures: Non-Incremental Capital Expenditures are defined as capital expenditures of a recurring nature related to tenant improvements and leasing commissions that do not incrementally enhance the underlying assets' income generating capacity. We exclude first generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions from this measure, in addition to other capital expenditures that qualify as Incremental Capital Expenditures, as defined above.
Property Net Operating Income ("Property NOI"): The Company calculates Property NOI by starting with Core EBITDA and adjusting for general and administrative expense, income associated with property management performed by Piedmont for other organizations and other income or expense items for the Company, such as interest income from loan investments or costs from the pursuit of non-consummated transactions. The Company may present this measure on an accrual basis or a cash basis. When presented on a cash basis, the effects of straight lined rents and fair value lease revenue are also eliminated. Property NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Property NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental comparative performance measure of income generated by its properties alone without the administrative overhead of the Company. Other REITs may not define Property NOI in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Property NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
Same Store Net Operating Income ("Same Store NOI"): The Company calculates Same Store NOI as Property NOI attributable to the properties for which the following criteria were met during the entire span of the current and prior year reporting periods: (i) they were owned, (ii) they were not under development / redevelopment, and (iii) none of the operating expenses for which were capitalized. Same Store NOI also excludes amounts attributable to land assets. The Company may present this measure on an accrual basis or a cash basis. When presented on a cash basis, the effects of straight lined rents and fair value lease revenue are also eliminated. Same Store NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Same Store NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental comparative performance measure of the income generated from the same group of properties from one period to the next. Other REITs may not define Same Store NOI in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Same Store NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
Same Store Properties: Same Store Properties is defined as those properties for which the following criteria were met during the entire span of the current and prior year reporting periods: (i) they were owned, (ii) they were not under development / redevelopment, and (iii) none of the operating expenses for which were capitalized. Same Store Properties excludes land assets.

Risks, Uncertainties and Limitations

Certain statements contained in this supplemental package 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”). We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable. Such information is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” "estimate," “believe,” “continue” or similar words or phrases that are predictions of future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Examples of such statements in this supplemental package include our estimated Core FFO and Core FFO per diluted share for calendar year 2020, expected future capital expenditures, and potential future acquisition and disposition activity.
The following are some of the factors that could cause our actual results and expectations to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements: economic, regulatory, socio-economic and/or technology changes (including accounting standards) that impact the real estate market generally or that could affect the patterns of use of commercial office space; the success of our real estate strategies and investment objectives, including our ability to identify and consummate suitable acquisitions and divestitures; lease terminations, lease defaults or changes in the financial condition of our tenants, particularly by one of our large lead tenants; the impact of competition on our efforts to renew existing leases or re-let space on terms similar to existing leases; changes in the economies and other conditions affecting the office sector in general and the specific markets in which we primarily operate where we have high concentrations of our annualized lease revenue; the illiquidity of real estate investments, including regulatory restrictions to which REITs are subject and the resulting impediment on our ability to quickly respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties; the risks and uncertainties associated with the acquisition and disposition of properties, many of which risks and uncertainties may not be known at the time of acquisition or disposition; development and construction delays and resultant increased costs and risks; our real estate development strategies may not be successful; future acts of terrorism in any of the major metropolitan areas in which we own properties, or future cybersecurity attacks against us or any of our tenants; additional risks and costs associated with directly managing properties occupied by government tenants; adverse market and economic conditions, including any resulting impairment charges on both our long-lived assets or goodwill resulting therefrom; availability of financing and our lending banks' ability to honor existing line of credit commitments; costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations; the effect of future offerings of debt or equity securities or changes in market interest rates on the value of our common stock; changes in the method pursuant to which the LIBOR rates are determined and the potential phasing out of LIBOR after 2021; significant price and volume fluctuations in the public markets, including on the exchange on which we list our common stock; uncertainties associated with environmental and other regulatory matters; potential changes in political environment and reduction in federal and/or state funding of our governmental tenants, including an increased risk of default by government tenants during periods in which state or federal governments are shut down or on furlough; any change in the financial condition of any of our large lead tenants; changes in the financial condition of our tenants directly or indirectly resulting from geopolitical developments that could negatively affect international trade, including the United Kingdom's referendum to withdraw from the European Union, the termination or threatened termination of existing international trade agreements, or the implementation of tariffs or retaliatory tariffs on imported or exported goods; the effect of any litigation to which we are, or may become, subject; changes in tax laws impacting REITs and real estate in general, as well as our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; the future effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures; and other factors detailed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this supplemental report. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this supplemental report, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
