Piedmont Office Realty Trust Reports Fourth Quarter and Annual 2020 Results
ATLANTA, February 10, 2021--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 with a majority of its revenue coming from Sunbelt markets, today announced its results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020.

Highlights for the Quarter and Year Ended December 31, 2020:

The timing of dispositions over the last two years and the recording of related gains, significantly impacted the results of the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020. The Company reported net income applicable to common stockholders of $22.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, and $232.7 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, as compared with $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.
Piedmont reported an approximate 6% year over year increase in Core Funds From Operations which eliminates the effect of gains and losses on dispositions, with $0.46 per diluted share and $1.89 per diluted share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to $0.46 per diluted share and $1.79 per diluted share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2019, respectively.
The Company completed 1.1 million square feet of leasing during the year ended December 31, 2020, including approximately 189,000 square feet during the fourth quarter.
Piedmont recognized a 3.5% and 10.2% roll up in cash and accrual rents, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020 with a 2.2% roll down and 5.3% roll up in cash and accrual rents, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 on executed leases for space vacant one year or less.
The Company collected over 99% of billed tenant receivables for the year ended December 31, 2020.
During the fourth quarter, Piedmont sold a portfolio consisting of its final three assets located in New Jersey: 600 Corporate Drive and 200 and 400 Bridgewater Crossing, for approximately $130 million, or $176 per square foot, resulting in a gain of $14.6 million;
The Company acquired 222 South Orange Avenue during the fourth quarter. The approximately 127,000 square foot office building, which is connected to Piedmont's 200 South Orange Avenue office tower located in downtown Orlando, FL, was acquired for $20 million, or $157 per square foot.
During the fourth quarter, 2.2 million shares of the Company's common stock were repurchased at an average price of $14.00 per share.




Commenting on fourth quarter and annual results, Brent Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "2020 was an extremely difficult year for everyone, but despite the challenges Piedmont faced, we executed over a million square feet of leasing and achieved approximately 6% growth in Core FFO driven by strong rent collections from our diversified, credit-worthy tenant base. Additionally, we were able to complete several strategic transactions to further our presence in select Sunbelt markets - exchanging 1901 Market, our sole asset in Philadelphia, for the Dallas Galleria Office Towers, exiting the New Jersey market through a portfolio disposition, and bolstering our downtown Orlando campus with the acquisition of 222 South Orange Avenue. Furthermore, we are encouraged by the improved leasing activity witnessed during the latter part of 2020. As we move into 2021, our balance sheet remains strong, our liquidity position is excellent, and leasing activity continues to improve, with Piedmont already completing over 500,000 square feet of leasing year to date. With COVID-19 vaccines entering the distribution phase, we anticipate business and office space usage returning to more normal activity over the course of this year."

Results for the Quarter ended December 31, 2020

Piedmont recognized net income applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2020 of $22.6 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, as compared with $162.5 million, or $1.29 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2019. The three months ended December 31, 2019 included a $157.6 million gain on sale primarily related to the sale of 500 West Monroe Street located in the West Loop submarket of downtown Chicago, IL, as well as a $7.0 million loss on impairment of real estate assets. The three months ended December 31, 2020 included a $14.6 million gain on sale of real estate assets associated with the sale of a portfolio consisting of our final three assets located in the state of 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 both the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
The per share results for the fourth quarter and the year of 2020 include the repurchase of approximately 2.2 million shares of the Company's common stock during the fourth quarter at an average price of $14.00 per share pursuant to the Company's stock repurchase program.
Total revenues were $131.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to $134.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 with the three months ended December 31, 2020 primarily reflecting impacts of net transactional activity, a reduction in revenues during the fourth quarter of 2020 when compared to 2019 due to reduced transient parking revenue as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and decreased portfolio occupancy.
Property operating costs were $55.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, as compared with $52.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019, reflecting net transactional activity during the two years ended December 31, 2020 and higher property tax expense in certain markets, partially offset by lower utility and janitorial costs as a result of reduced physical utilization across our portfolio as a result of the pandemic.
General and administrative expense was $7.4 million for the fourth quarter of 2020 as compared to $8.2 million for the same period in 2019, with the three months ended December 31, 2020 primarily reflecting decreased accruals for potential performance based compensation.




Results for the Year ended December 31, 2020

Piedmont recognized net income applicable to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2020 of $232.7 million, or $1.85 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $229.3 million, or $1.82 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2019. The year ended December 31, 2020 included approximately $205.7 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, of gains on sales of real estate assets, whereas the prior year included approximately $188.1 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, of gains on sales of real estate assets net of impairment losses.

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 $1.82 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared with $1.77 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2019. The year over year increase primarily reflects accretive capital recycling activities during the two years ended December 31, 2020, and decreased general and administrative and interest expense. These increases were partially offset by the establishment of receivables reserves and decreased parking revenues associated with the pandemic, as well as decreased portfolio occupancy, during the year ended December 31, 2020. Results for the year ended December 31, 2020 also included a non-recurring $9.3 million loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the sale of an asset for a significant gain, as compared to $3.2 million of non-recurring retirement and separation expenses included in the results for the year ended December 31, 2019.

Core FFO per diluted share, which further removes the non-recurring expenses mentioned in the previous paragraph, was $1.89 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared with $1.79 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2019, an approximately 6% increase year over year.

Total revenues were $535.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared with $533.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, with the current year reflecting rental rate increases associated with recent leasing activity across the portfolio and accretive capital recycling activities during the two years ended December 31, 2020, partially offset by the establishment of receivables reserves and decreased parking revenues associated with the pandemic, along with decreased portfolio occupancy.

Property operating costs were $214.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, as compared with $211.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The current year costs reflect net transactional activity during the two years ended December 31, 2020 and higher property tax expense in certain markets, partially offset by lower utility and janitorial costs as a result of reduced physical utilization across our portfolio as a result of the pandemic, along with decreased portfolio occupancy.

Results for the year ended December 31, 2020 also reflect increased amortization expense related to intangible assets associated with the acquisition of the Dallas Galleria Office Towers during the first quarter of 2020 and decreased general and administrative expense primarily associated with lower accruals for potential performance-based equity compensation. General and administrative expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 also included approximately $3.2 million of non-recurring expenses related to the senior management transition that occurred on June 30, 2019.

Leasing Update

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, Piedmont completed approximately 189,000 square feet of leasing across its portfolio, bringing total leasing for the year to 1.1 million square feet.



Approximately 28% of the fourth quarter activity related to new tenant leasing. Significant leasing highlights during the quarter include the following:
In Atlanta: Powerplan, Inc. renewed approximately 34,000 square feet at Galleria 300 through 2028.
In Washington, D.C.: CenturyLink Communications, LLC renewed approximately 25,000 square feet at 4250 North Fairfax through 2026.
In Minneapolis: The Moscoe Group, Inc renewed approximately 24,000 square feet at Crescent Ridge Center II through 2026.
In Dallas: C-III Capital Partners, LLC signed a new lease for approximately 10,000 square feet at 6031 Connection Drive.
Leases executed during the fourth quarter for recently occupied space reflected a 2.2% roll down and 5.3% roll up in cash and accrual rents, respectively. For the year, leases executed reflected an overall roll up of 3.5% and 10.2% for cash and accrual basis rents, respectively.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company's reported leased percentage and weighted average remaining lease term were approximately 87% and 6.1 years, respectively, with approximately one million square feet of executed leases for vacant space yet to commence or under rental abatement.
Other than the City of New York's 313,000 square foot lease that is currently in holdover status at 60 Broad Street in New York, the Company has no scheduled lease expirations greater than 1% of annualized lease revenue during the eighteen month period following December 31, 2020. The Company remains in advanced discussions for the renewal of substantially all of the City of New York's leased square footage.
Same Store Net Operating Income ("Same Store NOI") decreased 1.7% and 0.2% on a cash and accrual basis, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease in cash basis Same Store NOI was primarily attributable to the deferral, net of subsequent collections, of approximately $5.8 million of 2020 rental payments. Additional contributors to the decreases were a reduction in transient parking revenue as a result of the pandemic and decreased portfolio occupancy in 2020 when compared to 2019.

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

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, Piedmont sold a portfolio of three assets located in New Jersey: 600 Corporate Drive, located in Lebanon, NJ; and 200 and 400 Bridgewater Crossing, located in Bridgewater, NJ, for approximately $130 million, or $176 per square foot, resulting in a gain of approximately $14.6 million. The sale completed Piedmont's exit from the New Jersey office market.

Also during the three months ended December 31, 2020, Piedmont acquired 222 South Orange Avenue, an approximately 127,000 square foot office building connected to Piedmont's 200 South Orange Avenue asset located in downtown Orlando, FL, for $20 million, or $157 per square foot. 222 South Orange Avenue is located along the Orange Avenue entrance to Piedmont's existing 200 South Orange Avenue property, sharing several physical connection points, including an atrium. Piedmont has begun an immediate redevelopment of the property.




Finally, during the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 2.2 million shares of its common stock at an average price of $14.00 per share. As of December 31, 2020, Board-approved capacity remaining for additional repurchases under the stock repurchase plan totaled approximately $169.3 million.

First Quarter 2021 Dividend Declaration

On February 2, 2021, the board of directors of Piedmont declared a dividend for the first quarter of 2021 in the amount of $0.21 per share on its common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 26, 2021, payable on March 19, 2021.

Guidance for 2021

While the longer-term consequences on the economy and our tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be unknown, the approval and distribution of vaccines create the opportunity for business to return to more normal activity over the course of 2021. Our projections for 2021 include the assumption of a gradual ramping up of business over the year with a return to a more typical state of operations during the second half of 2021, and anticipate Same Store NOI growth in the 3-5% range.

Notwithstanding the uncertain economic backdrop that currently remains, Piedmont has a strong, diversified tenant base, of which a majority is investment grade quality, that resulted in the collection of over 99% of our scheduled rent payments during the year ended December 31, 2020. We believe that this strong tenant base, combined with low lease expirations projected for 2021, limited exposure to transient parking income and retail and co-working tenants, a strong balance sheet, and $4.6 million in general reserves for tenant receivables, will all contribute to stability in our anticipated operating performance in 2021.

The following financial guidance for calendar year 2021 is based upon management's assumptions, estimates and expectations at this time. This financial guidance does not include the effects of any potential acquisition or disposition activity that may be completed during the year.

These estimates reflect management's view of current market conditions and incorporate certain economic and operational assumptions and projections, including those related to the pace and strength of the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. 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 the business recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 or other forward-looking statements. The above guidance is based on information available to management as of the date of this supplemental



report. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates based on a variety of factors as discussed under "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

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, 2020 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.

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.

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: actual or threatened public health epidemics or outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic that the world is currently experiencing, and governmental and private measures taken to combat such health crises, which may affect our personnel, tenants, tenants' operations and ability to pay lease obligations, demand for office space, and the costs of operating our assets; the adequacy of our general reserve related to tenant lease-related assets established as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact of any increase in this reserve or the establishment of any other reserve in the future; economic, regulatory, socioeconomic changes, 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 specifically the seven markets in which we primarily operate where we have high concentrations of our annualized lease revenue; lease terminations, lease defaults, or changes in the financial condition of our tenants, 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, civil unrest, 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; uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance coverage, and our inability to obtain adequate insurance coverage at a reasonable cost; additional risks and costs associated with directly managing properties occupied by government tenants, including an increased risk of default by government tenants during periods in which state or federal governments are shut down or on furlough; significant price and volume fluctuations in the public markets, including on the exchange which we listed our common stock; changes in interest rates and changes in the method pursuant to which the LIBOR rates are determined and the phasing out of LIBOR after 2021; high mortgage rates which could affect our ability to finance or refinance properties; the effect of future offerings of debt or equity securities or changes in market interest rates on the value of 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; changes in the financial condition of our tenants directly or indirectly resulting from geopolitical developments that could negatively affect international trade, including the uncertainty surrounding the United Kingdom’s withdrawal 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; additional risks and costs associated with owning properties occupied by co-working tenants, including risks of default during start-up and during economic downturns; 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, as amended, or otherwise adversely affect our stockholders; the future effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures; and other factors, including the risk factors discussed under Item 1A. of Piedmont’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

*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.

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.

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 43 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 37. 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.

The decrease in net income applicable to Piedmont for the three months ended December 31, 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019 was principally due to the larger amount of net gains on the sales of assets in the fourth quarter of 2019 when compared to the fourth quarter of 2020 along with lower real estate operating income in 2020 as a result of decreased portfolio occupancy and the revenue effects of COVID-19 (inclusive of decreased parking income and general and specific reserves adjustments recorded during the quarter), partially offset by accretive recycling activities completed over the prior year and an impairment loss recorded in 2019 which was not repeated in 2020. The increase in net income applicable to Piedmont for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019 was principally due to the larger amount of net gains on the sales of assets in 2020 when compared to 2019. In addition, 2020 net income results increased due to: 1) accretive capital recycling activities completed over the prior year; 2) lower general and administrative expenses as a result of lower compensation accruals attributable to pandemic-related effects on the Company's compensation programs in 2020 and one-time retirement expenses incurred in 2019; and 3) lower interest expense as a result of lower prevailing interest rates. Partially offsetting the increase in net income attributable to Piedmont in 2020 were higher amortization and depreciation expenses in 2020 when compared to 2019 attributable to over $740 million of acquisitions completed since the beginning of 2019, along with lower real estate operating income as a result of decreased portfolio occupancy and the revenue effects of COVID-19 (inclusive of decreased parking income and general and specific reserves taken during the year).

Funds from operations (FFO) for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was $57.2 million, or $0.46 per share (diluted), compared to $58.6 million, or $0.46 per share (diluted), for the same quarter in 2019. FFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 was $229.6 million, or $1.82 per share (diluted), compared to $222.9 million, or $1.77 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2019. The increase in FFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019 was principally the result of accretive capital recycling activities over the prior year, lower general and administrative expenses, and lower interest expense, partially offset by lower real estate operating income as a result of decreased portfolio occupancy and the revenue effects of COVID-19 (inclusive of decreased parking income and $9.4 million in general and specific reserves taken during the year), as well as a loss on the early extinguishment of debt recorded in 2020 as a result of the sale of 1901 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA and the early repayment of the associated mortgage.

Core funds from operations (Core FFO) for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was $57.2 million, or $0.46 per share (diluted), compared to $58.6 million, or $0.46 per share (diluted), for the same quarter in 2019. Core FFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 was $238.9 million, or $1.89 per share (diluted), compared to $226.1 million, or $1.79 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2019. The increase in Core FFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019 was largely the result of the items described above for changes in FFO, with the exception of the non-recurring loss on early extinguishment of debt recorded in 2020 due to the sale of an asset for a significant gain, which is excluded from the Core FFO calculation.

The per share results for the fourth quarter of 2020 were influenced by the repurchase of approximately 2.2 million shares of common stock for a total of approximately $30.6 million (before the consideration of transaction costs) during the quarter.

Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) for the quarter ended December 31, 2020 was $36.3 million, compared to $34.9 million for the same quarter in 2019. AFFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 was $137.4 million, compared to $165.7 million for the same period in 2019. The decrease in AFFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 when compared to the same period in 2019 was primarily due to a greater amount of non-incremental capital expenditures during the first quarter of 2020 related to the large amount of recently executed new and renewal leases in our portfolio, including the 20-year lease renewal with the State of New York at 60 Broad Street in New York, NY, for which leasing commissions totaling $16.1 million were paid during the first quarter.

Update Related to COVID-19

During the fourth quarter of 2020, our buildings remained open and fully operational for our tenants. The number of tenants' employees working in our buildings remained steady during the fourth quarter when compared with the third quarter; there was a pause in the increasing utilization trend observed during the third quarter as a result of the recent increase in cases of COVID-19. As of December 2020, tenant physical occupancy per building varied greatly among our buildings depending upon the tenancy, ranging from 10% to nearly 100% occupancy. The highest space utilization rate continued to be observed at our properties located in Sunbelt markets and at mission-critical government-related locations.

We feel fortunate to have duration and durability in the cash flow generated by our tenant base. The majority of our tenants are of investment grade quality, and our in place leases have a weighted average lease term remaining of over 6 years. Approximately 1% of our revenues are related to retail tenants and approximately 2% of our 2020 budgeted revenues are associated with the co-working sector, both of which have been particularly hard hit by the economic effects of the pandemic. Additionally, only approximately 1% of our annual revenues comes from transient parking, income which has decreased in 2020 with the decline in our average daily physical utilization.

As a result of our diversification, limited exposure to the sectors of the economy most impacted by the pandemic and strong tenant credit profile, we have collected approximately 99% of the billed rents that were due for October, November and December based on contractual lease terms. However, our tenant base is not immune from the economic effects of the pandemic. During the quarter, we received a few additional new tenant requests for some type of rent relief along with a few requests for extensions of existing rent relief. To date, of the approximately 1,000 leases in our portfolio, we have entered into rent relief agreements with 66 tenants (of which approximately 5 new agreements were entered into during the fourth quarter) predominately with tenants operating in the retail, hospitality, travel, consulting and co-working sectors. These 66 rent relief agreements represent tenants occupying approximately 5% of the square footage in our portfolio. Through the 66 rent relief agreements, a total of approximately $7.1 million of gross rental obligations were primarily deferred ($1.0 million of which was related to billings originally due in the fourth quarter). The typical deferral periods are between 3 and 4 months with repayment occurring late in 2020 or in 2021 with interest. To date, we have received repayments of prior deferrals totaling $1.3 million; the vast majority of tenants in repayment periods for prior deferrals have been performing well.

Similar to last quarter and as a result of COVID-19's impact on our tenants' operations, Piedmont undertook a review of all outstanding tenant receivables, including assessing the collectability risk associated with existing accounts receivable and existing straight line rent receivables. During the fourth quarter of 2020, as a result of the review, there was a small decrease to the general reserve for bad debts, which now stands at $4.6 million, along with write-offs of a small number of straight line rent receivables. The general reserve approximates 1% of the Company's Annualized Lease Revenue; the Company will continue to reassess tenant receivables and the reserve, and make adjustments as it deems appropriate.

Regarding Piedmont’s liquidity and capitalization, management believes the Company has sufficient liquidity and capital capacity to withstand the effects of the economic slowdown associated with COVID-19 and will be able to meet all of its financial obligations, including the servicing of its debt, as well as to meet all of its debt covenants, each with a significant buffer to the relevant threshold. Piedmont is in a strong balance sheet position, with approximately $7 million in cash and $495 million available under its line of credit at the end of the fourth quarter. As of December 31, 2020, our debt to gross assets ratio was approximately 34%, unchanged from the prior quarter end.

The COVID-19 pandemic had only a limited impact on the Company’s overall results for 2020. However, we do expect the coronavirus pandemic will continue to impact our tenants' operations and financial results and their ability to pay their lease obligations during the early part of 2021. The longer-term consequences on the economy and our tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be unknown; however, the approval and distribution of vaccines create a belief that business will begin to return to normal over the course of 2021. While leasing activity did slow during 2020 and this leasing slowdown did delay some of the expected FFO growth in the portfolio, our projections for 2021 include the assumption that businesses return to a more typical state of operations during the second half of 2021. The Company has provided financial guidance for 2021 under the Guidance for 2021 section below.

Operations and Leasing

As of December 31, 2020, Piedmont had 54 in-service office properties located primarily in select submarkets within seven major office markets in the eastern portion of the United States, with over half of our revenue coming from Sunbelt markets. On a square footage leased basis, our total in-service office portfolio was 86.8% leased as of December 31, 2020, as compared to 89.7% at December 31, 2019 (restated to include one out-of-service asset, Two Pierce Place in Itasca, IL, which was placed back into service on January 1, 2020). Significant contributors to the reduction in leased percentage from December 31, 2019 to December 31, 2020 was the sale of the 100% leased 1901 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA, during the second quarter of 2020, and the slowdown in leasing activity due to COVID-19. Please refer to page 25 for additional leased percentage information.

The weighted average remaining lease term of our in-service portfolio was 6.1 years(1) as of December 31, 2020 as compared to 7.0 years as of December 31, 2019. A meaningful contributor to the reduction in weighted average remaining lease term was the sale of 1901 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA, an 801,000 square foot, fully-leased building with approximately 13 years of lease term remaining. Our weighted average adjusted Annualized Lease Revenue(2) per square foot for our in-service portfolio was $36.87 as of December 31, 2020.

During the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed approximately 189,000 square feet of leasing activity. Of the total leasing activity completed during the quarter, we signed new tenant leases for approximately 52,000 square feet. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, the Company completed approximately 1,106,000 square feet of leasing activity, of which approximately 262,000 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, 2020 (net of commitment expirations during the period) was $5.79 (see page 31).

(1)
Remaining lease term (after taking into account leases for vacant spaces which had been executed but not commenced as of December 31, 2020) is weighted based on Annualized Lease Revenue, as defined on page 37.
(2)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.

Piedmont focuses its leasing efforts on large, credit-worthy corporate tenants, and, therefore, executed leasing activity can vary greatly from quarter to quarter. The effects of COVID-19 have compounded this variability. Overall leasing pipeline activity improved over the last several months of 2020. While the amount of executed leases is still expected to vary, subsequent to year end, Piedmont has already completed over 500,000 square feet of leasing activity, including a long-term lease renewal with a non-governmental top 20 tenant, as of the date of release of this report.

Of the 189,000 square feet of leases executed during the three months ended December 31, 2020, four were significant leases greater than 10,000 square feet. Information on those leases is set forth below.

Future Lease Commencements and Abatements

As of December 31, 2020, our overall leased percentage was 86.8% and our economic leased percentage was 82.0%. 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 124,527 square feet of leases as of December 31, 2020, or 0.7% of the portfolio); and
2)leases which have commenced but are within rental abatement or deferral periods (amounting to 818,128 square feet of leases as of December 31, 2020, or a 4.1% impact to leased percentage on an economic basis).

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 and deferrals associated with existing or newly executed leases commence and expire, and/or (3) properties are bought and sold. See below for more detail on existing large leases with abatements and deferrals. The abatements and deferrals this quarter included COVID-related rent relief (primarily rent deferrals; with a typical duration of between three and four months) representing an approximately 0.6% impact on the gap between leased percentage and economic leased percentage.

Future Lease Commencements
Piedmont has leases with many large corporate office space users. The average size of lease in the Company's portfolio is between 15,000 to 20,000 square feet. Due to the large size and length of term of new leases, Piedmont typically signs leases at least 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.

Previously disclosed in this section was a lease with WeWork at 200 South Orange Avenue in Orlando, FL. On December 31, 2020, an agreement was reached with WeWork to terminate that lease at the end of the first quarter of 2021. The tenant has paid rent on this lease since August 2020 and has prepaid its rent through the termination date; additionally, it has paid a lease termination fee of $2.6 million (which recovers all costs incurred to date by Piedmont plus additional compensation amounting to approximately $1.1 million). Furthermore, the tenant has prepaid rent for over a year at its other two locations that are open and operational within Piedmont's portfolio.

Abatements
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 leases due to some leases being in abatement periods. Presented below 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)

COVID-19 - Related Rent Deferrals
There were no leases of 50,000 square feet or greater that were under deferral or will be so within the next twelve months as of December 31, 2020.

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 the value potential during its ownership has been reached and to use the sale proceeds to:
continue to invest in accessible, amenity-rich real estate assets with higher overall return prospects and/or strategic merits in one of its identified office markets where it has a significant operating presence with a competitive operating advantage and that otherwise meet its 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, 2020, Piedmont completed a portfolio sale consisting of its final three New Jersey properties, 200 and 400 Bridgewater Crossing in Bridgewater, NJ and 600 Corporate Drive in Lebanon, NJ. The portfolio was sold for a total of $130.0 million, or $176 per square foot. The Company recorded a gain of approximately $14.6 million as a result of the sale of the assets. As part of the sale transaction, Piedmont provided seller financing (comprised of a senior loan and a mezzanine loan) on 200 and 400 Bridgewater Crossing in the total amount of $118.5 million, at a weighted average interest rate of 7.0%. Piedmont has no future funding requirements under either loan.

Acquisitions
On October 29, 2020, Piedmont completed the acquisition of 222 South Orange Avenue, a 127,000 square foot, 10-story, vacant office building, located in Orlando, FL, for $20.0 million, or $157 per square foot. The building adjoins Piedmont's 200 South Orange Avenue property, sharing several key connection points and systems, including an atrium, a loading dock, building mechanical systems, several interconnected floor plates and parking. Additionally, the acquisition of 222 South Orange Avenue provides Piedmont's existing office tower with direct frontage on Orange Avenue, the de facto Main Street in Orlando's central business district. Piedmont plans to immediately begin a redevelopment of the property to upgrade and reposition it to a Class A standard consistent with Piedmont's other existing landmark assets in downtown Orlando. Among the highlights of the redevelopment will be an enhanced window line, allowing more light and air into tenant spaces, along with renovations to the lobby, common areas and restrooms. The costs of the redevelopment are expected to total under $10 million. Upon completion of the upgrades at 222 South Orange Avenue, and in combination with the substantial renovations near completion at 200 South Orange Avenue, Piedmont's downtown Orlando portfolio will represent a preeminent destination for the market.

For additional information on acquisitions and dispositions completed over the previous eighteen months, please refer to page 35.

Development / Redevelopment
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. The redevelopment plan includes a redesigned lobby and entry experience, an energized outdoor park, the addition of new food and beverage options, an upgraded conference center, a tenant lounge, and a new crown lighting system. As of December 31, 2020, the project is near completion and remains on budget.

Details on the Company's developable land parcels, all of which are located adjacent to existing Piedmont properties, as well as information on its upcoming redevelopment project, can be found on page 36.

(1)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.

Finance
As of December 31, 2020, our ratio of total debt to total gross assets was 34.4%, and the same measure at December 31, 2019 was 32.5%. This debt ratio is based on total principal amount outstanding for our various loans as of the relevant measurement date.

As of December 31, 2020, our average net debt to Core EBITDA ratio was 5.8 x.

Stock Repurchase Program
During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company repurchased approximately 2.2 million shares of common stock under its share repurchase program at an average price of $14.00 per share,
or approximately $30.6 million (before the consideration of transaction costs). As of quarter end, Board-approved capacity remaining for additional repurchases totaled approximately $170 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 28, 2020, the Board of Directors of Piedmont declared a dividend for the fourth quarter of 2020 in the amount of $0.21 per common share outstanding to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 27, 2020. The dividend was paid on January 4, 2021.

Subsequent Events
On February 2, 2021, the Board of Directors of Piedmont declared a dividend for the first quarter of 2021 in the amount of $0.21 per common share outstanding to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 26, 2021. The dividend is expected to be paid on March 19, 2021.

Guidance for 2021

While the longer-term consequences on the economy and our tenants as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to be unknown, the approval and distribution of vaccines create the opportunity for business to begin to return to more normal activity over the course of 2021. Our projections for 2021 include the assumption of a gradual ramping up of business over the year with a return to a more typical state of operations during the second half of 2021.

Notwithstanding the uncertain economic backdrop that currently remains, Piedmont has a strong, diversified tenant base, of which a majority is investment grade quality. This strong tenant base, combined with low lease expires projected for 2021, limited exposure to the retail, parking and co-working sectors, a prudent balance sheet, and $4.6 million in general reserves for tenant receivables, we believe, will all contribute to stability in our anticipated operating performance in 2021.

The following financial guidance for calendar year 2021 is based upon management's assumptions, estimates and expectations at this time. This financial guidance does not include the effects of any potential acquisition or disposition activity that may be completed during the year.

These estimates reflect management's view of current market conditions and incorporate certain economic and operational assumptions and projections, including those related to the pace and strength of the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Note that individual quarters my fluctuate on both a cash basis and an accrual basis due to the timing of the business recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, 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. The above guidance is based on information available to management as of the date of this supplemental report. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates based on a variety of factors as discussed on page 43.

Please refer to page 25 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 $368,965 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, $236,290 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, $183,846 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, $176,040 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and $502,646 for the quarter ended December 31, 2019; the Company had principal amortization of $365,644 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, $269,838 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020, $266,128 for the quarter ended June 30, 2020, $175,383 for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, and $345,948 for the quarter ended December 31, 2019.
(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, 2020, Piedmont recognized $0.9 million in termination income, as compared with $0.6 million during the same period in 2019. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, Piedmont recognized $2.8 million in termination income, as compared with $2.8 million during the same period in 2019.
(3)As a result of COVID-19 and as a precautionary measure, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company established a general reserve for potential future losses amounting to $4.9 million. A reduction to the general reserve of $33,000 was made during the third quarter of 2020 and a reduction of $278,000 was made during the fourth quarter of 2020. The general reserve is non-cash in nature and, therefore, any changes in the reserve are removed from the calculation of cash basis same store net operating income. No such reserves were made in any periods prior to the second quarter of 2020.
(4)Presented net of related operating expenses incurred to earn the revenue; therefore, the information presented on this line will not tie to the data presented on the income statements.
(5)Figures presented on this line may not tie back to the relevant sources as some activity is attributable to property operations and is, therefore, presented in property net operating income.
(6)Acquisitions consist of Galleria 100 in Atlanta, GA, purchased on May 6, 2019; Galleria 400 and Galleria 600 in Atlanta, GA, purchased on August 23, 2019; One Galleria Tower, Two Galleria Tower and Three Galleria Tower in Dallas, TX, purchased on February 12, 2020; and 222 South Orange Avenue in Orlando, FL, purchased on October 29, 2020.
(7)Dispositions consist of One Independence Square in Washington, D.C., sold on February 28, 2019; The Dupree in Atlanta, GA, sold on September 4, 2019; 500 West Monroe Street in Chicago, IL, sold on October 28, 2019; 1901 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA, sold on June 25, 2020; and the New Jersey property portfolio sold on October 28, 2020 (consisting of the Company's final remaining assets in the state, 200 and 400 Bridgewater Crossing in Bridgewater, NJ, and 600 Corporate Drive in Lebanon, NJ).
(8)
Other investments consist of active out-of-service redevelopment and development projects, land, and recently completed redevelopment and development projects for which some portion of operating expenses were capitalized during the current and/or prior year reporting periods. Additional information on our land holdings can be found on page 36. The operating results from Two Pierce Place in Itasca, IL, and 222 South Orange Avenue in Orlando, FL, are included in this line item.
(9)For the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, amount reflects a decrease in cash collections of approximately $5.8 million of primarily rent deferrals as a result of COVID-19 rent relief agreements. For the three months ended December 31, 2020, we recorded $0.3 million of net rent deferral repayments (amount represents prior rent deferral repayments collected during the quarter less rent relief provided during the quarter).

(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, 2020, Piedmont recognized $0.9 million in termination income, as compared with $0.6 million during the same period in 2019. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, Piedmont recognized $2.8 million in termination income, as compared with $2.8 million during the same period in 2019.
(3)Presented net of related operating expenses incurred to earn the revenue; therefore, the information presented on this line will not tie to the data presented on the income statements.
(4)Figures presented on this line may not tie back to the relevant sources as some activity is attributable to property operations and is, therefore, presented in property net operating income.
(5)Acquisitions consist of Galleria 100 in Atlanta, GA, purchased on May 6, 2019; Galleria 400 and Galleria 600 in Atlanta, GA, purchased on August 23, 2019; One Galleria Tower, Two Galleria Tower and Three Galleria Tower in Dallas, TX, purchased on February 12, 2020; and 222 South Orange Avenue in Orlando, FL, purchased on October 29, 2020.
(6)Dispositions consist of One Independence Square in Washington, D.C., sold on February 28, 2019; The Dupree in Atlanta, GA, sold on September 4, 2019; 500 West Monroe Street in Chicago, IL, sold on October 28, 2019; 1901 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA, sold on June 25, 2020; and the New Jersey property portfolio sold on October 28, 2020 (consisting of the Company's final remaining assets in the state, 200 and 400 Bridgewater Crossing in Bridgewater, NJ, and 600 Corporate Drive in Lebanon, NJ).
(7)
Other investments consist of active out-of-service redevelopment and development projects, land, and recently completed redevelopment and development projects for which some portion of operating expenses were capitalized during the current and/or prior year reporting periods. Additional information on our land holdings can be found on page 36. The operating results from Two Pierce Place in Itasca, IL, and 222 South Orange Avenue in Orlando, FL, are included in this line item.
(8)As a result of COVID-19 and as a precautionary measure, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company established a general reserve for potential future losses amounting to $4.9 million. A reduction to the general reserve of $33,000 was made during the third quarter of 2020 and a reduction of $278,000 was made during the fourth quarter of 2020. Because of the unique nature of the reserve and its effect on the Company's financial results, the Company has provided this supplemental disclosure to calculate what the accrual basis same store net operating income growth would have been had there been no activity related to the general reserve for potential future losses. No such reserves were made in any periods prior to the second quarter of 2020.

(1)The decrease in cash rental income for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019 was primarily attributable to a temporary reduction in cash rental obligations for the State of New York at 60 Broad Street in New York, NY, related to space taken offline for reconstruction associated with the tenant's recent long-term lease renewal, along with decreased portfolio occupancy and the revenue effects of COVID-19. These items were partially offset by an increase in rental income resulting from greater economic occupancy at 1430 Enclave Parkway in Houston, TX, 6011 Connection Drive in Irving, TX, Arlington Gateway in Arlington, VA, 1201 Eye Street in Washington, DC, and 1155 Perimeter Center West in Atlanta, GA.
(2)The decrease in tenant reimbursements for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019 was primarily the result of decreased property operating expenses attributable to the reduced physical utilization of our buildings due to the pandemic. Contributing to the reduction in tenant reimbursements was the setting of new base years for operating expense reimbursement purposes for several large recently commenced leases in the portfolio.
(3)The increase in straight line effects of lease revenue for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019 was primarily due to the commencement of several large new and renewal leases in the portfolio, most notably that of the State of New York at 60 Broad Street in New York, NY.
(4)The decrease in other property related income for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019 was primarily a result of pandemic-related decreased transient parking activity across the portfolio.
(5)The decrease in property operating expense for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 as compared to the same periods in 2019 was primarily attributable to the reduced physical utilization of our buildings due to the pandemic, resulting in savings in several key operating expense categories, including utilities and janitorial costs.

(1)All of Piedmont's outstanding debt as of December 31, 2020 was interest-only debt with the exception of the $27.6 million mortgage 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 is comprised of the $5 million outstanding balance as of December 31, 2020, on the $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, $150 million in principal amount of the $250 million unsecured term loan that closed in 2018 that remained unhedged as of December 31, 2020, and the entire principal balance of the $300 million unsecured term loan that closed in 2011. 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 resulting in an effectively fixed interest rate for $100 million in principal amount of the term loan (at 3.56% as of December 31, 2020; this rate can change only with a credit rating change for the Company) through the loan's maturity date of March 31, 2025. Additional details regarding the floating rate debt can be found on the following page.
(4)For loans which provide extension options that are conditional solely upon the Company providing proper notice to the loan's administrative agent and the payment of an extension fee, the final extended maturity date is reflected herein.

(1)All of Piedmont’s outstanding debt as of December 31, 2020, was interest-only debt with the exception of the $27.6 million mortgage 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)Weighted average is based on the principal amounts outstanding and interest rates at December 31, 2020.
(5)The $300 million unsecured 2011 term loan has a variable interest rate. Piedmont may select from multiple interest rate options, including the prime rate and various length LIBOR locks. The all-in interest rate associated with each LIBOR interest period selection is comprised of the relevant base LIBOR interest rate plus a credit spread (1.00% as of December 31, 2020) based on Piedmont's then current credit rating.
(6)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%.
(7)All of Piedmont’s outstanding debt as of December 31, 2020, was term debt with the exception of $5 million outstanding on our unsecured revolving credit facility. 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 final extended maturity date is presented on this schedule.
(8)The interest rate presented for the $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility is the weighted average interest rate for all outstanding draws as of December 31, 2020. Piedmont may select from multiple interest rate options with each draw under the facility, including the prime rate and various length LIBOR locks. The all-in interest rate associated with each LIBOR interest period selection is comprised of the relevant base LIBOR interest rate plus a credit spread (0.90% as of December 31, 2020) based on Piedmont's then current credit rating.
(9)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%.
(10)The $250 million unsecured term loan that closed in 2018 has a stated variable interest rate; however, Piedmont entered into $100 million in notional amount of seven-year interest rate swap agreements that effectively fixed the interest rate on $100 million of the term loan (at 3.56% as of December 31, 2020; this rate can change only with a credit rating change for the Company) through the loan's maturity date of March 31, 2025. 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 all-in interest rate associated with each LIBOR interest period selection is comprised of the relevant base LIBOR interest rate plus a credit spread (0.95% as of December 31, 2020) based on Piedmont's then current credit rating.
(11)The $300 million unsecured senior notes were offered for sale at 99.236% of the principal amount. The resulting effective cost of the financing is approximately 3.24% before the consideration of transaction costs and the impact of interest rate hedges. After incorporating the results of the related interest rate hedging activity, the effective cost of the financing is approximately 3.90%.
(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, the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture dated March 6, 2014, and the Second Supplemental Indenture dated August 12, 2020, 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, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company had capitalized interest of $368,965 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, $965,142 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, and $2,135,150 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019. The Company had principal amortization of $365,644 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, $1,076,993 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, and $1,018,979 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.
(7)Interest coverage ratio is calculated as Core EBITDA divided by the sum of interest expense and capitalized interest. The Company had capitalized interest of $368,965 for the three months ended December 31, 2020, $965,142 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020, and $2,135,150 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2019.

(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.

(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 Piper Sandler, Ernst & Young, KPMG, PwC, 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.

(1)Annualized rental income associated with each newly executed lease for currently occupied space is incorporated herein only at the expiration date for the current lease. Annualized rental income associated with each such new lease is removed from the expiry year of the current lease and added to the expiry year of the new lease. These adjustments effectively incorporate known roll ups and roll downs into the expiration schedule.
(2)
Includes leases with an expiration date of December 31, 2020, comprised of approximately 100,000 square feet and Annualized Lease Revenue of $3.8 million.
(3)Leases and other revenue-producing agreements on a month-to-month basis, comprised of approximately 318,000 square feet and Annualized Lease Revenue of $15.8 million, are assigned a lease expiration date of a year and a day beyond the period end date. The 313,000 square foot City of New York lease that is in holdover status at 60 Broad Street in New York, NY is included in this classification.

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 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 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 and total leases completed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 would be $3.41 and $5.04, respectively.
(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)During 2020, we completed five new leasing transactions (amounting to 93,000 square feet in total) in the Washington, DC market with large capital commitments. 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 new leases and total leases completed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 would be $5.62 and $5.06, respectively.
(5)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.

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 39.
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: the estimated financial impacts associated with, and the general business and economic recovery from, the COVID-19 pandemic; estimated Core FFO and Core FFO per diluted share for calendar year 2021; expected future capital expenditures; and potential future acquisition, disposition and financing 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: actual or threatened public health epidemics or outbreaks, such as the COVID-19 pandemic that the world is currently experiencing, and governmental and private measures taken to combat such health crises, which may affect our personnel, tenants, tenants' operations and ability to pay lease obligations, demand for office space, and the costs of operating our assets; the adequacy of our general reserve related to tenant lease-related assets established as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact of any increase in this reserve or the establishment of any other reserve in the future; economic, regulatory, socio-economic changes, 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 specifically the seven markets in which we primarily operate where we have high concentrations of our annualized lease revenue; lease terminations, lease defaults, or changes in the financial condition of our tenants, 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 real estate investment trusts ("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, civil unrest, 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; uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance coverage, and our inability to obtain adequate insurance coverage at a reasonable cost; additional risks and costs associated with directly managing properties occupied by government tenants, including an increased risk of default by government tenants during periods in which state or federal governments are shut down or on furlough; significant price and volume fluctuations in the public markets, including on the exchange which we listed our common stock; changes in interest rates and changes in the method pursuant to which the LIBOR rates are determined and the phasing out of LIBOR after 2021; high interest rates which could affect our ability to finance or refinance properties; the effect of future offerings of debt or equity securities or changes in market interest rates on the value of 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; changes in the financial condition of our tenants directly or indirectly resulting from geopolitical developments that could negatively affect international trade, including the uncertainty surrounding the United Kingdom’s withdrawal 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; additional risks and costs associated with owning properties occupied by tenants in particular industries, such as oil and gas, hospitality, travel, co-working, etc., including risks of default during start-up and during economic downturns; 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, as amended, or otherwise adversely affect our stockholders; the future effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures; and other factors, including the risk factors discussed under Item 1A. of Piedmont’s 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.
