Piedmont Office Realty Trust Reports Fourth Quarter and Annual 2015 Results and 2016 Guidance
ATLANTA, February 4, 2016 --Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. ("Piedmont" or the "Company") (NYSE:PDM), an owner of primarily Class A office properties located in select sub-markets of major U.S. cities, today announced its results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015.

Highlights for the Three Months and Year Ended December 31, 2015:

Achieved Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") of $0.41 and $1.60 per diluted share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015, respectively;
Reported Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") of $0.29 and $1.23 per diluted share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2015, respectively;
Achieved approximately 9% growth in cash-basis Same Store Net Operating Income ("SSNOI") for both the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015, as compared to the same periods in the prior year;
Completed over 800,000 square feet of leasing during the fourth quarter, bringing total leasing for the year to 3.1 million square feet and resulting in a year-end leased percentage of 91.5%;
Disposed of nine assets during the year ended December 31, 2015, including two in the fourth quarter, resulting in approximately $848.2 million in net sales proceeds and a $168.2 million gain which is included in the Company's results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015;
Using proceeds from the dispositions mentioned above, repurchased approximately nine million shares of its common stock at an average price of $17.68 per share, purchased five assets in the Company's strategic markets, including three in the fourth quarter, and reduced debt by approximately $240 million on a year-over-year basis.

Donald A. Miller, CFA, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very pleased with our 2015 accomplishments. We were able to take advantage of the strong sellers' market during the year and move a number of non-core assets out of the portfolio, as well as decrease our Chicago concentration significantly with the sale of Aon Center. Thanks to strong leasing results, an opportunistic equity market, and a few well-timed, strategic acquisitions, we were able to significantly improve our leased percentage and the overall quality of the portfolio without dilution for our stockholders. As a result, we feel the Company as a whole, its portfolio of assets, and its balance sheet are exceedingly well-positioned headed into 2016.”

Results for the Quarter ended December 31, 2015

Piedmont recognized net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2015 of $125.6 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, as compared with $12.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2014. The fourth quarter of 2015 included a





$114.3 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, gain on sale of real estate asset during the period associated with the sale of Aon Center located in downtown Chicago, IL.

Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2015 decreased to $139.5 million, compared to $146.7 million for the same period a year ago, due to the sale of our largest asset during the fourth quarter of 2015. Results for the three months ended December 31, 2015 also reflect a $1.3 million increase in general and administrative expense, primarily as a result of accruing for potential performance-based compensation driven by improved operating results during the quarter ended December 31, 2015, including $0.4 million of expense related to increasing accruals related to previous years under the Company's three-year relative stock performance plans. The fourth quarter of 2015 also reflects an approximate $2.8 million decrease in net insurance recoveries from casualty events as compared to the fourth quarter of 2014.

Funds From Operations ("FFO") was $0.41 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to $0.40 for the three months ended December 31, 2014 with the increase primarily reflecting the commencement of several significant leases, the expiration of various operating expense abatement periods, and the acquisition of five properties during 2015. Those increases were partially offset by the sale of nine properties during 2015 as well as the increase in general and administrative expense and the decrease in insurance recoveries from casualty losses noted above.

Core FFO, which excludes insurance recoveries, gain on extinguishment of swaps, and acquisition costs was $0.41 per diluted share for the current quarter, as compared to $0.39 per diluted share in the fourth quarter of the prior year. This increase was driven primarily by the same factors affecting our FFO over the period, with the exception of the decrease in insurance recoveries.

AFFO for the fourth quarter of 2015 totaled $42.4 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $41.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, in the fourth quarter of 2014, driven primarily by the same factors affecting our FFO over the period.

In addition, net income available to common stockholders per share, FFO per diluted share, Core FFO per diluted share and AFFO per diluted share for the current quarter were all favorably impacted by the repurchase of approximately nine million shares during the year.

Results for the Year ended December 31, 2015

Piedmont recognized net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $173.0 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, as compared to $43.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2014. The 2015 results included $168.2 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, in gain on sales of real estate assets as compared to $2.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, of such gains in 2014. In addition, the results for the year ended December 31, 2015 included a $40.2 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, impairment loss associated with the Company's exit from the Cleveland, OH and Parsippany, NJ markets during the year. Excluding the $40.2 million impairment loss, the Company's real estate operating income for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $117.0 million, as compared to $107.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, with the $9.2 million increase being attributable to the commencement of certain significant leases, the expiration of various operating expense abatement periods, and the acquisition of five properties during 2015. These increases were partially offset by the sale of nine properties, a $6.5 million increase in general and administrative expense primarily as a result of the recognition of increased performance-based compensation expense. Net income available to





common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2015 was further impacted by a $7.3 million decrease in non-recurring insurance recoveries as compared to the year ended December 31, 2014.

Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2015 were $584.8 million, as compared with $566.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, with the $18.5 million increase attributable to new leases commencing and operating expense abatement periods expiring. Property operating costs were $242.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, an increase of $2.5 million compared to $239.5 million the prior year. The increase was primarily due to increased occupancy at certain of our assets, as well as increased property tax expense at certain of our properties as a result of higher valuations, partially offset by net disposition activity during the year. General and administrative expenses were $30.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $23.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily as a result of accruing for potential performance-based compensation driven by improved operating results during the year ended December 31, 2015, including $1.5 million of expense related to increasing accruals related to previous years under the Company's three-year relative stock performance plans.

FFO was $1.59 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $1.53 for the year ended December 31, 2014, with the increase reflecting the commencement of several significant leases, the expiration of various operating expense abatement periods, and the impact of acquisition activity during 2015 and 2014, partially offset by the sale of nine assets, the increase in general and administrative expense, and the decrease in insurance recoveries noted above.

Core FFO, which excludes insurance recoveries as well as loss on extinguishment of swaps, and acquisition costs, was $1.60 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2015, as compared to $1.49 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2014. The increase was driven primarily by the same factors affecting FFO over the period, with the exception of the decrease in casualty recoveries.

AFFO for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $1.23 per diluted share compared to $0.76 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily due to the same factors impacting Core FFO above, as well as a $40.5 million decrease in non-incremental capital expenditures and a $13.4 million reduction in straight-line rent adjustments as certain large tenant build outs were completed and significant rental abatements expired during 2015.

In addition, net income available to common stockholders per share, FFO per diluted share, Core FFO per diluted share and AFFO per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2015 were all favorably impacted by the repurchase of approximately nine million shares during the year.

Leasing Update

The Company's leasing volume for the three months ended December 31, 2015 totaled 812,000 square feet, bringing the total for the year to 3.1 million square feet, of which approximately half of the annual leasing related to new tenant leasing. The fourth quarter activity included approximately 267,000 square feet, or 33%, of new tenant leasing and 545,000, or 67% of renewal leasing. New leasing for the quarter primarily centered on the Company's Washington, D.C. portfolio and included: an approximately 100,000 square foot, 12-year lease with the District of Columbia at One Independence Square; an approximate 35,000 square foot, 15-year lease with the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, also at One Independence Square; and an approximately 40,000 square foot, 12-year lease with MakeOffices at 3100 Clarendon Boulevard in Arlington, VA. Significant renewals during the quarter included First Data Corporation's extension of approximately 195,000 square feet at our Glenridge Highlands Two asset in





Atlanta, GA; approximately 135,000 square foot renewal and contraction of Comdata's space at our 5301 Maryland Way asset in Nashville, TN; BSH Home Appliances' approximately 67,000 square feet at 1901 Main Street in Irvine, CA; and Microsoft Mobile, Inc's approximately 55,000 square feet at 5 Wayside Road in Burlington, MA.

The Company's overall portfolio was approximately 91.5% leased as of December 31, 2015, up 380 basis points from 87.7% a year ago. Weighted average lease term remaining was approximately 6.7 years as of December 31, 2015, down from the prior quarter due to the sale of Aon Center. Cash basis SSNOI was $67.8 million and $271.2 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2015, respectively, representing a 9% increase over both of the same periods in the prior year, as certain significant leases commenced and abatement periods continued to expire. As of December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately 1.4 million square feet of commenced leases that were in some form of abatement, as well as approximately 0.6 million square feet of executed leases for currently vacant space yet to commence. Details outlining Piedmont's significant upcoming lease expirations, the status of current leasing activity, and a schedule of significant near-term abatement periods can be found in the Company's quarterly supplemental information package available at www.piedmontreit.com.

Transactional Activity

As previously announced, during the fourth quarter the Company sold Aon Center, a 2.7 million square foot office tower located at 200 East Randolph Street in downtown Chicago and 87% leased to multiple tenants, for a gross sales price of $712 million (approximately $260 per square foot). The transaction resulted in net sales proceeds of approximately $646.2 million (after deducting closing costs, buyer-assumed lease abatements, and contractual tenant capital improvements and leasing commissions) and a $114.3 million gain that is included in the Company's operational results for the three months ended December 31, 2015.

In addition during the fourth quarter of 2015, Piedmont sold 2 Gatehall Drive, an approximately 400,000 square foot office building located in Parsippany, NJ and 100% leased to two tenants, for $51.0 million ($126 per square foot).

As previously announced, Piedmont used proceeds from the sales to pay down debt, to repurchase shares, and to acquire the following assets located in the Company's target markets:

Galleria 300, an approximately 430,000 square foot Class A office building prominently located within the master-planned "Galleria" development in Atlanta's Cumberland/Galleria office submarket. In addition to extraordinary visibility and accessibility, Galleria 300 is surrounded by extensive walkable amenities including, among others, Cobb Galleria Centre and SunTrust Park, the new Atlanta Braves ballpark currently scheduled to be completed in 2017. Galleria 300 is currently 89% leased to 22 high-quality tenants, including anchor tenant Travelport.

SunTrust Center, a two-building, approximately 650,000 square foot Class A trophy office landmark located in the center of Orlando's central business district. SunTrust Center is currently 89% leased to a host of tenants, including anchor tenant SunTrust Bank, as well as some of the nations most prestigious law firms. The purchase also includes an adjoining 1,292-space parking garage.






Glenridge Highlands One, located on the Glenridge Connector in Atlanta, GA, for $63.6 million. The acquisition completes Piedmont's ownership of the entire Glenridge Highlands office complex. Glendridge Highlands One is an approximately 288,000 square foot, 90% leased, Class A office building located adjacent to Piedmont's Glenridge Highlands Two Building and a developmental land parcel also owned by Piedmont.

A five acre land parcel for $1.4 million, located adjacent to Piedmont's Suwanee Gateway One asset. A portion of the land is expected to be used for expanded parking for Suwanee Gateway One.

The Company intends for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable. Such information is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of the Company`s performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "believe," "continue" or similar words or phrases that are predictions of future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Examples of such statements in this press release include, but are not limited to, whether the Company as a whole, its portfolio of assets, and its balance sheet are exceedingly well-positioned headed into 2016 and the Company's estimated range of Net Income, Depreciation, Amortization and Other, Gain on Sale of Real Estate Assets, Core FFO and Core FFO per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2016.

The following are some of the factors that could cause the Company`s actual results and its expectations to differ materially from those described in the Company`s forward-looking statements: economic, regulatory and socio-economic changes (including accounting standards) that impact the real estate market generally or that could affect the patters of use of commercial office space, may cause our operating





results to suffer and decrease the value of our real estate properties; the success of our real estate strategies and investment objectives, including our ability to identify and consummate suitable acquisitions and divestitures; lease terminations or lease defaults, particularly by one of our large lead tenants; the impact of competition on our efforts to renew existing leases or re-let space on terms similar to existing leases; changes in the economies and other conditions affecting the office market in general and of the specific markets in which we operate, particularly in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and the New York metropolitan area, where we have high concentrations of office properties; the illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties; acquisitions of properties may have unknown risks and other liabilities at the time of acquisition; development and construction delays and resultant increased costs and risks may negatively impact our operating results; our real estate development strategies may not be successful; future terrorist attacks in the major metropolitan areas in which we own properties could significantly impact the demand for, and value of, our properties; additional risks and costs associated with directly managing properties occupied by government tenants; adverse market and economic conditions may negatively affect us and could cause us to recognize impairment charges on both our long-lived assets or goodwill or otherwise impact our performance; availability of financing and our lending banks' ability to honor existing line of credit commitments; costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations; future offerings of debt or equity securities may adversely affect the market price of our common stock; changes in market interest rates may have an effect 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; we may be subject to litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition; 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; and other factors detailed in the Company`s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2014, and other documents the Company files 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 press release.

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






*Definitions

Funds From Operations ("FFO"): FFO is calculated 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, impairment losses, and gains or losses on consolidation, 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 may provide valuable comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of our operating performance to net income. We believe that FFO is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT. However, other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do; therefore, our computation of FFO may not be comparable to that of such other REITs.

Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO"): We calculate Core FFO by starting with FFO, as defined by NAREIT, and adjusting for certain non-recurring items such as gains or losses on the extinguishment of swaps, acquisition-related costs and other significant non-recurring items. Such items create significant earnings volatility. We believe Core FFO provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance and more predictability regarding future earnings potential. Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of our operating performance to net income; therefore, it should not be compared to other REITs' equivalent to Core FFO.

Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO"): AFFO is calculated by deducting from Core FFO non-incremental capital expenditures and acquisition-related costs and adding back non-cash items including non-real estate depreciation, straight lined rents and fair value lease revenue, non-cash components of interest expense and compensation expense, and by making similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Although AFFO may not be comparable to that of other REITs, we believe it provides a meaningful indicator of our ability to fund cash needs and to make cash distributions to equity owners. AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of our operating performance to net income, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of our liquidity.

(1) Includes amounts attributable to consolidated properties, including discontinued operations, and our proportionate share of amounts attributable to unconsolidated joint ventures.

*Definitions

Core EBITDA: Core EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and incrementally removing any impairment losses, gains or losses from sales of property, or other significant non-recurring items. We do not include impairment losses in this measure, because we feel these types of losses create volatility in our earnings and make it difficult to determine the earnings generated by our ongoing business. We believe Core EBITDA is a reasonable measure of our liquidity. Core EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of cash flows from operating activities or other GAAP basis liquidity measures. Other REITs may calculate Core EBITDA differently and our calculation should not be compared to that of other REITs.

Property Net Operating Income ("Property NOI"): Property NOI is defined as real estate operating income with the add-back of corporate general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, and impairment losses and the deduction of net operating income associated with property management performed by Piedmont for other organizations. We 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 eliminated. The Company uses this measure to





assess its operating results and believes it is important in assessing operating performance. Property NOI is a non-GAAP measure which does not have any standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.

Same Store Net Operating Income ("Same Store NOI"): Same Store NOI is calculated as the Property NOI attributable to the properties owned or placed in service during the entire span of the current and prior year reporting periods. Same Store NOI excludes amounts attributable to unconsolidated joint venture assets. We 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 eliminated. We believe Same Store NOI is an important measure of comparison of our properties' operating performance from one period to another. Other REITs may calculate Same Store NOI differently and our calculation should not be compared to that of other REITs.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $59.4 million, or $0.41 per share (diluted), compared to $62.1 million, or $0.40 per share (diluted), for the same quarter in 2014. FFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $239.9 million, or $1.59 per share (diluted), compared to $236.5 million, or $1.53 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2014. The decrease in dollar amount of FFO for the three months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily attributable to non-recurring insurance recoveries included in the fourth quarter of 2014 results as well as increased general and administrative expense in 2015 primarily related to higher accrued potential performance-based compensation expense as a result of the Company's operational results during the year, including $0.4 million of expense accruals for previous years under the Company's three-year relative stock performance plans. The increase in FFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily attributable to 1) a net increase in operating income primarily as a result of i) the commencement of leases representing net absorption of available space in the portfolio, and ii) new and renewal leases under which operating expense recovery abatements have expired, partially offset by 2) $7.0 million of non-recurring insurance recoveries included in the 2014 results, and 3) increased general and administrative expense in 2015 primarily related to higher accrued potential performance-based compensation expense as a result of the Company's operational results during the year, including $1.5 million of expense accruals for previous years under the Company's three-year relative stock performance plans.

Core funds from operations (Core FFO) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $60.2 million, or $0.41 per share (diluted), compared to $59.6 million, or $0.39 per share (diluted), for the same quarter in 2014. Core FFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $241.1 million, or $1.60 per share (diluted), compared to $230.1 million, or $1.49 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2014. Core FFO is defined as FFO with incremental adjustments for certain non-recurring items such as net insurance recoveries or losses, acquisition-related costs and other significant non-recurring items. The change in Core FFO for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same periods in 2014 was primarily attributable to the items described above for changes in FFO, with the exception of non-recurring insurance recoveries, which are excluded from Core FFO.

Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was $42.4 million, or $0.29 per share (diluted), compared to $41.2 million, or $0.27 per share (diluted), for the same quarter in 2014. AFFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $186.1 million, or $1.23 per share (diluted), compared to $118.2 million, or $0.76 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2014. The increase in AFFO for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same periods in 2014 was primarily related to the items described above for changes in FFO and Core FFO; the increase in AFFO for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was also related to the lesser amounts of straight line rent adjustments and non-incremental capital expenditures in 2015 when compared to 2014. Piedmont experienced a period of high lease expirations from 2011 to 2013. Given the competitive leasing environment over the last several years, many of the leases that the Company entered into during that period included rental abatements, which typically occur at the beginning of a new lease's term. Most of the new or renewal leases with rental abatements are in the early stages of the new leases' terms, resulting in temporarily higher straight line rent adjustments for Piedmont. As the rental abatement periods continue to expire, the straight line rent adjustments will continue to decrease. The higher non-incremental capital expenditures in 2014 when compared to 2015 were also related to the high volume of lease transactions completed during the period from 2011 to 2013.

The changes in per share amounts of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same periods in 2014 were also impacted by the reduced weighted average shares outstanding in 2015 as a result of the Company's stock repurchase program. During calendar year 2015, Piedmont repurchased 9.0 million shares at an average price of $17.68 per share. Since the program commenced in December 2011, Piedmont has repurchased 27.9 million shares at an average price of $17.17 per share.

Operations & Leasing

On a square footage leased basis, our total office portfolio was 91.5% leased as of December 31, 2015, as compared to 90.6% in the prior quarter and 87.7% a year earlier. Please refer to page 27 for additional leased percentage information.

The weighted average remaining lease term of our portfolio was 6.7 years(2) as of December 31, 2015 as compared to 7.1 years at December 31, 2014.

Within its portfolio, Piedmont has two development properties and one re-development property. The Company's current development projects consist of Enclave Place, a 301,000 square foot office property located in Houston, TX; 500 TownPark, a 135,000 square foot office property located in Lake Mary, FL; and 3100 Clarendon Boulevard, a 262,000 square foot office and retail property located in Arlington, VA. For the purposes of statistical reporting throughout this supplemental report, these properties are excluded from Piedmont's operating portfolio. For additional information regarding these developments, please refer to page 38 of this report.

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, the Company completed 812,000 square feet of total leasing. Of the total leasing activity during the quarter, we signed renewal leases for approximately 545,000 square feet and new tenant leases for approximately 267,000 square feet. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, we completed 3,103,000 square feet of leasing for our consolidated office properties, consisting of 1,537,000 square feet of renewal leases and 1,566,000 square feet of new tenant leases. The average committed tenant improvement cost per square foot per year of lease term for renewal leases signed at our consolidated office properties during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was $2.90 and the same measure for new leases was $5.68 (see page 33), reflecting higher leasing costs attributable to the current market environments in Washington, D.C. and Chicago (markets which also provide commensurately higher rental rates).

During the three months ended December 31, 2015, we executed nine leases greater than 20,000 square feet with lengths of term of more than one year at our consolidated office properties. Information on those leases is set forth below.

Future Lease Commencements and Abatements

As of December 31, 2015, our overall leased percentage was 91.5% and our economic leased percentage was 81.8%. 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 approximately 599,000 square feet of leases as of December 31, 2015, or 3.2% of the office portfolio); and
2.
leases which have commenced but the tenants have not commenced paying full rent due to rental abatements (amounting to 1.4 million square feet of leases as of December 31, 2015, or a 6.5% impact to leased percentage on an economic basis).

Piedmont has leases with many large corporate office space users. The average size of lease in the Company's portfolio is approximately 23,000 square feet. Due to the large size and length of term of new leases, Piedmont typically signs leases several months in advance of their anticipated lease commencement dates. Presented below is a schedule of uncommenced leases greater than 50,000 square feet and their anticipated commencement dates. Lease renewals are excluded from this schedule.

Due to the current economic environment, many recently negotiated leases provide for rental abatement concessions to tenants. Rental abatements typically occur at the beginning of a new lease's term. Since the Company's IPO in 2010, Piedmont has signed approximately 17.6 million square feet of leases within its consolidated office portfolio. Due to the large number of new leases in the Company's portfolio, abatements provided under those new leases have temporarily impacted the Company's current cash net operating income and AFFO.

Presented below is a schedule of leases with abatements of greater than 50,000 square feet that are either currently under abatement or will be so within the next twelve months.

Financing and Capital Activity

Among Piedmont's strategic objectives is to harvest capital through the disposition of non-core assets, assets where returns have been maximized, and assets located in non-strategic submarkets and to use the sale proceeds to:
invest in real estate assets with higher overall return prospects in selected markets in which we have, or plan to have, a significant operating presence and that otherwise meet our strategic criteria;
reduce leverage levels by repaying outstanding debt; and/or
repurchase Company stock.
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company continued to execute on its strategic plan, the details of which are provided below.

Dispositions (1)    
On October 29, 2015, Piedmont completed the sale of Aon Center, a 2.7 million square foot, 87% leased office building located in the East Loop of downtown Chicago, IL, for $712 million, or approximately $260 per square foot. Since purchasing the office tower in 2003 for $465.2 million, Piedmont implemented best-in-class management operations, helping it to secure Energy Star ratings, LEED accreditation, and the BOMA 360 designation for the property. The appeal of the asset and its amenity base is evidenced in its high-quality tenant roster, which includes Aon, Kraft Heinz Foods Company, KPMG, Microsoft, United Health Group, Integrys, JLL, Federal Home Loan Bank of Chicago, and Edelman. The Company successfully positioned the property as one of Chicago's most distinguished business addresses, helping it to realize significant value for its shareholders. Net sales proceeds from the transaction were approximately $646 million after deducting closing costs, buyer-assumed lease abatements and contractual tenant capital improvements and leasing commissions. The sale of the asset, which was the largest individual property in the portfolio, allowed the Company to accomplish the following:
Decrease the concentration of its revenues and NOI in one asset, which represented 14% of ALR and 10% of cash NOI at September 30, 2015;
Enhance its balance sheet through the payoff of over $400 million of outstanding debt;
Increase shareholder value through stock repurchases in excess of $100 million during the third and fourth quarters of 2015 (the funds for which had been drawn on the Company's revolving line of credit); and
Redeploy $259.1 million of proceeds into two real assets that are consistent with the Company’s target market strategy and accretive to earnings (see information on the acquisition of SunTrust Center and Galleria 300 in the Acquisitions section below).
On December 21, 2015, Piedmont completed the sale of 2 Gatehall Drive, a 405,000 square foot, 100% leased office building located in Parsippany, NJ. The sale price was $51 million, or $126 per square foot. It was originally contemplated that Piedmont would provide short-term seller financing; however, the purchaser purchased the property using another source of financing. The proceeds from the sale were used to reduce the balance outstanding under the Company’s revolving line of credit. In connection with the receipt of the unsolicited offer to purchase the building, the Company reassessed its holding period assumptions and recorded an impairment loss of $34.8 million during the third quarter of 2015.











(1)
On April 1, 2014, Piedmont early-adopted the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board ASU 2014-08. As such, Piedmont will no longer reclassify to discontinued operations the operating income associated with newly-sold single assets or small portfolios which do not represent a strategic shift or significant impact on Piedmont's future operations. There will be no restatement for prior periods and all operating income associated with assets either sold or under binding contract to sell as of the end of the first quarter of 2014 will continue to be reflected in discontinued operations. Assuming future sales do not meet the new criteria for reclassification as discontinued operations, such future sales will not be presented in discontinued operations.


8




Acquisitions
On November 4, 2015, after paying down outstanding debt, Piedmont utilized a portion of the disposition proceeds from the sale of Aon Center to complete the strategic acquisition of a two-property portfolio for a combined purchase price of $259.1 million: SunTrust Center in downtown Orlando, FL, for $170.8 million, or $261 per square foot, and Galleria 300 in Atlanta, GA, for $88.3 million, or $204 per square foot.
SunTrust Center, currently 89% leased, consists of a 30-story, 571,000 square foot, trophy office tower, an adjacent seven-story, 84,000 square foot, Class A office building, and a five-level,1,292 space parking structure. Located in the heart of Orlando's central business district and the tallest office tower in the city, SunTrust Center offers its tenants an excellent amenity base, including abundant nearby hotel, retail, housing, and transportation options, in addition to several entertainment venues. The purchase was completed at an estimated discount to replacement cost of approximately 30%.
Galleria 300 consists of a 20-story, 433,000 square foot, Class A office building with an attached, seven-story, 1,152 space parking structure. The building is part of the master-planned Galleria development, considered the best Class A office park in the Northwest submarket of Atlanta, with superior accessibility and visibility to two of Atlanta's major thoroughfares, Interstates 285 and 75. There are numerous retail, housing and hotel options proximate to the property, affording the tenancy a compelling amenity base. Additionally, the building is located across Interstate 285 from the new Atlanta Braves ballpark, SunTrust Park, which is bringing additional retail, hotel and residential infill development. At 89% leased, the building offers earnings growth and value accretion potential through leasing up existing vacancies as the area benefits from additional growth and urbanization. The purchase was completed at an estimated discount to replacement cost of approximately 37%.
The acquisition of both projects is consistent with Piedmont’s strategy to invest in high-quality assets at attractive bases within select submarkets of its strategic operating footprint.
On November 24, 2015, Piedmont completed the purchase of Glenridge Highlands One, a 290,000 square foot office building in the Central Perimeter submarket of Atlanta, GA, for $63.6 million, or $219 per square foot. The eleven-story, 90% leased property also has an attached seven-story parking deck, and it was purchased at an estimated discount to replacement cost of approximately 32%. The property is located on one of the highest points in Atlanta in the Glenridge Highlands office park, and it offers superior visibility, a full range of amenities, and excellent access to two of Atlanta’s major thoroughfares, Interstate 285 and state highway Georgia 400. In addition, Piedmont owns the adjacent Glenridge Highlands Two office building and Glenridge Highlands Three land parcel, allowing Piedmont to control the entire office park and the ability to realize operational and marketing synergies. This transaction advances the Company’s target market strategy and allows Piedmont to gain control of one of the strongest locations in the submarket.
On December 21, 2015, Piedmont completed the purchase of approximately 5 acres adjacent to the Company’s Suwanee Gateway One office building located in Suwanee, GA, for $1.4 million. The land was acquired to provide additional parking for Suwanee Gateway One, increasing the parking ratio at the property from 3.7 per 1,000 rentable square feet to approximately 5.0 per rentable square feet and to allow for a sale of the remaining acreage to a hotel or retail developer.

For additional information on acquisitions and dispositions, please refer to page 37.

Development
During the second quarter of 2015, Piedmont executed a 108,000 square foot, thirteen-year anchor-tenant lease with Continental Casualty Company at 500 TownPark in Lake Mary, FL. 500 TownPark will be a ground-up development comprised of a 135,000 square foot, four-story office building to be built on a portion of the Company's 25.2 acres of developable land in Lake Mary. With the signing of the Continental Casualty lease, the building is 80% pre-leased. With the initial design and permitting phases complete, site work is underway in preparation for the pouring of the foundation and the beginning of physical construction. The development costs are anticipated to be $28 million to $30 million, inclusive of leasing costs. Approximately $1 million had been recorded in work in progress as of December 31, 2015. The site is situated at the intersection of Interstate 4 and Highway 417 and is well located within a development consisting of office, retail, residential and hotel uses. After the completion of 500 TownPark, the Company's remaining land holdings in the master planned, multi-use development could accommodate up to 1,200,000 square feet of additional development, including approximately 800,000 square feet of office development.

In addition, the Company has two development projects that are now substantially complete and in lease-up phase:
3100 Clarendon Boulevard, a 262,000 square foot office and retail property located adjacent to the Clarendon Metrorail Station in Arlington, VA, which was upgraded to Class A after being occupied by a U.S. Government agency for over 15 years; and
Enclave Place, a 301,000 square foot office building located within a deed-restricted and architecturally-controlled office park in the Energy Corridor in Houston, TX.

For additional information on Piedmont's development projects, please refer to page 38.

Finance
As of December 31, 2015, our ratio of debt to total gross assets was 37.5%. This debt ratio is based on total principal amount outstanding for our various loans at December 31, 2015.
On November 6, 2015, Piedmont terminated for a profit of $168,000 the 2016 ten-year forward-starting swaps with a notional value totaling $250 million. The Company originally entered into the swaps to lock the treasury component for a planned 2016 financing. However, due to the sale of Aon Center and the use of a significant amount of sale proceeds to reduce the Company's outstanding debt, Piedmont does not currently anticipate the need for a ten-year financing in 2016.

9



Loan Investments
Prior to the end of the fourth quarter of 2015, Piedmont approved a request to extend the maturity date on the seller financing it provided to the purchaser of Copper Ridge Center in Lyndhurst, NJ, in May 2015. The maturity date of the loan is now June 30, 2016. Pursuant to the original structure of the $45.4 million, 8.45% interest-only loan, the initial maturity date was December 31, 2015; however, the borrower was afforded two six-month extension options that were available upon the satisfaction of certain conditions.

Stock Repurchase Program
During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company repurchased 131,000 shares of common stock under its share repurchase program at an average price of $18.19 per share, or approximately $2.4 million (before the consideration of transaction costs). During calendar year 2015, Piedmont repurchased 9.0 million shares at an average price of $17.68 per share, or $158.9 million in aggregate (before the consideration of transaction costs). Since the stock repurchase program began in December 2011, the Company has repurchased a total of 27.9 million shares at an average price of $17.17 per share, or approximately $478.4 million in aggregate (before the consideration of transaction costs). As of quarter end, Board-approved capacity remaining for additional repurchases totaled approximately $78.2 million under the stock repurchase plan. Repurchases of stock under the program will be made at the Company's discretion and will depend on market conditions, other investment opportunities and other factors that the Company deems relevant.

Dividend
On November 9, 2015, the Board of Directors of Piedmont declared a dividend for the fourth quarter of 2015 in the amount of $0.21 per common share outstanding to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 27, 2015. The dividend was paid on December 18, 2015. The Company's dividend payout percentage for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 was 52% of Core FFO and 68% of AFFO.


Subsequent Events

On January 4, 2016, Piedmont repaid a $125 million mortgage loan with a 5.50% interest rate collateralized by 1430 Enclave Parkway located in Houston, TX, Windy Point I and Windy Point II located in Schaumburg, IL, and 1055 East Colorado Boulevard located in Pasadena, CA. The loan had an April 1, 2016 maturity date, but was open to prepayment without yield maintenance fees 90 days in advance of the stated maturity date. The Company repaid the loan at the earliest possible date inside of the open prepayment window with funds drawn from its unsecured revolving line of credit.

On February 4, 2016, the Board of Directors of Piedmont declared a dividend for the first quarter of 2016 in the amount of $0.21 per common share outstanding to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 26, 2016. The dividend is expected to be paid on March 18, 2016.

(1)
Please refer to page 27 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)
Amount includes a $34.8 million impairment loss associated with 2 Gatehall Drive located in Parsippany, NJ. Please refer to the Financing and Capital Activity section of Financial Highlights for additional information.
(4)
Net debt is calculated as the total principal amount of debt outstanding minus cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits and restricted cash. The decrease in net debt during the fourth quarter of 2015 was primarily attributable to the use of a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Aon Center in Chicago, IL, to repay debt.
(5)
Core EBITDA margin is calculated as Core EBITDA divided by total revenues (including revenues associated with discontinued operations).
(6)
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 $1,102,518 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, $954,086 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, $885,576 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, $823,770 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, and $688,177 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014; the Company had principal amortization of $277,217 for the quarter ended December 31, 2015, $204,580 for the quarter ended September 30, 2015, $201,768 for the quarter ended June 30, 2015, $132,969 for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, and $262,284 for the quarter ended December 31, 2014.
(7)
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. The decrease in the net debt to Core EBITDA ratio for the quarter ended December 31, 2015 was primarily attributable to the debt repayment in October 2015 using a majority of the proceeds from the sale of Aon Center. For the other quarters presented herein, the average net debt to Core EBITDA ratios are higher than our historical performance on this measure primarily as a result of capital expenditures and stock repurchases in excess of net dispositions, the shortfall of which was largely funded with debt. This measure in previous quarters was also impacted by downtime associated with re-tenanting efforts, and some rent roll downs.

* Note: The growth in Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 when compared to that for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 would have been much higher if the Company had not sold Aon Center in Chicago, IL, and 2 Gatehall Drive in Parsippany, NJ, during the fourth quarter of 2015; both properties are now deducted from Property Net Operating Income in the calculation of Same Store Net Operating Income. Had those two properties not been sold, the growth in Same Store Net Operating Income for calendar year 2015 would have been approximately 11.0%.

(1)
The increase in Washington, D.C. Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily attributable to lease termination income from Lockheed Martin at 9221 Corporate Boulevard in Rockville, MD. The decrease in Washington, D.C. Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily attributable to a lease expiration at 9200 Corporate Boulevard in Rockville, MD, and a one-time, $1.1 million rental income true-up in 2014 associated with the increased rental rate under the renewed National Park Service lease along with a 45,000 square foot contraction under that lease in 2015 at 1201 Eye Street in Washington, D.C., both of which were offset somewhat by lease termination income at 9221 Corporate Boulevard in Rockville, MD, noted above.
(2)
The decrease in New York Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily attributable to lease termination income received in 2014 associated with the Savient Pharmaceuticals lease at 400 Bridgewater Crossing in Bridgewater, NJ.
(3)
The increase in Dallas Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same periods in 2014 was primarily related to the expiration of the rental abatement period for a new lease with Epsilon Data Management at 6021 Connection Drive in Irving, TX. The increase in Dallas Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was also attributable to the expirations of the rental abatement periods associated with several new-tenant leases at Las Colinas Corporate Center II in Irving, TX, and increased economic occupancy associated with recent leasing activity at One Lincoln Park in Dallas, TX.

(4)
The decrease in Boston Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily attributable to the rental abatement concession associated with the renewal of Advanced Micro Device's lease at 90 Central Street in Boxborough, MA.
(5)
The increase in Chicago Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily related to the expirations of rental abatement periods associated with several leases at 500 West Monroe Street in Chicago, IL, and Windy Point II in Schaumburg, IL.
(6)
The percentage contribution from Chicago to our total Same Store Net Operating Income is smaller than our geographic concentration percentage in Chicago, which is presented on an ALR basis (see page #SectionPage#), primarily because of the large number of leases with gross rent abatements and a number of leases yet to commence for currently vacant spaces (the projected gross rents for which are included in our ALR calculation). As the gross rent abatements burn off and as the executed but not commenced leases begin, the Same Store Net Operating Income percentage contribution from Chicago should increase and should be more closely aligned with our Chicago concentration percentage as presented on page #SectionPage#.
(7)
The increase in Minneapolis Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily related to the expirations of the rental abatement periods associated with several new leases at US Bancorp Center in Minneapolis, MN.
(8)
The increase in Los Angeles Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily related to the expirations of rental abatement periods associated with several new leases and the expansion of an existing tenant's lease at 800 North Brand Boulevard in Glendale, CA, in addition to the expiration of a rental abatement period associated with a lease at 1055 East Colorado Boulevard in Pasadena, CA.
(9)
The increase in Other Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same periods in 2014 was primarily attributable to increased rental income as a result of: 1) increased economic occupancy associated with new-tenant leasing activity at 400 TownPark in Lake Mary, FL, The Medici in Atlanta, GA, and Glenridge Highlands II in Atlanta, GA, and 2) the restructured lease with Independence Blue Cross at 1901 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA.

* Note: The growth in Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 when compared to that for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014 would have been much higher if the Company had not sold Aon Center in Chicago, IL, and 2 Gatehall Drive in Parsippany, NJ, during the fourth quarter of 2015; both properties are now deducted from Property Net Operating Income in the calculation of Same Store Net Operating Income. Had those two properties not been sold, the growth in Same Store Net Operating Income for calendar year 2015 would have been approximately 5.2%.

(1)
The increase in Washington, D.C. Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily attributable to lease termination income from Lockheed Martin at 9221 Corporate Boulevard in Rockville, MD. The decrease in Washington, D.C. Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily attributable to a lease expiration at 9200 Corporate Boulevard in Rockville, MD, and a one-time, $1.1 million rental income true-up in 2014 associated with the increased rental rate under the renewed National Park Service lease along with a 45,000 square foot contraction under that lease in 2015 at 1201 Eye Street in Washington, D.C., both of which were offset somewhat by lease termination income at 9221 Corporate Boulevard in Rockville, MD, noted above.
(2)
The decrease in New York Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily attributable to lease termination income received in 2014 associated with the Savient Pharmaceuticals lease at 400 Bridgewater Crossing in Bridgewater, NJ.
(3)
The increase in Chicago Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily related to increased rental income due to the commencement of leases and/or the expirations of operating expense recovery abatement periods associated with several leases at 500 West Monroe Street in Chicago, IL, and Windy Point II in Schaumburg, IL.
(4)
The percentage contribution from Chicago to our total Same Store Net Operating Income is smaller than our geographic concentration percentage in Chicago, which is presented on an ALR basis (see page 34), primarily because of the large number of leases with operating expense recovery abatements (which abatements are not included in straight line rent adjustments) and a number of leases yet to commence for currently vacant spaces (the projected gross rents for which are included in our ALR calculation). As the operating expense recovery abatements burn off and as the executed but not commenced leases begin, the Same Store Net Operating Income percentage contribution from Chicago should increase and should be more closely aligned with our Chicago concentration percentage as presented on page 34.
(5)
The increase in Dallas Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily related to the commencement of a new lease in June 2014 with Epsilon Data Management at 6021 Connection Drive in Irving, TX, in addition to increased rental income associated with new leasing activity at One Lincoln Park in Dallas, TX.
(6)
The decrease in Minneapolis Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily attributable to a renewal-related contraction by US Bancorp at US Bancorp Center in Minneapolis, MN.

(7)
The increase in Los Angeles Same Store Net Operating Income for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014 was primarily attributable to the expansion of an existing tenant's lease at 800 North Brand Boulevard in Glendale, CA.
(8)
The increase in Other Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 as compared to the same periods in 2014 was primarily attributable to increased rental income as a result of: 1) new-tenant leasing activity at The Medici in Atlanta, GA, Glenridge Highlands II in Atlanta, GA, 400 TownPark in Lake Mary, FL, and 150 West Jefferson in Detroit, MI, and 2) the restructured lease with Independence Blue Cross at 1901 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA.

(1)
All of Piedmont's outstanding debt as of December 31, 2015, was interest-only debt with the exception of the $32.4 million of debt associated with 5 Wall Street located in Burlington, MA.
(2)
Weighted average stated interest rate is calculated based upon the principal amounts outstanding.
(3)
Amount represents the outstanding balance as of December 31, 2015, on the $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility and the $170 million unsecured term loan. Two other loans, the $300 million unsecured term loan that closed in 2011 and the $300 million unsecured term loan that closed in 2013, have stated variable rates. However, Piedmont entered into $300 million in notional amount of interest rate swap agreements which effectively fix the interest rate on the 2011 unsecured term loan at 2.39% through November 22, 2016 (please see page 22 for information on additional swap agreements for this loan that will become effective after November 22, 2016), assuming no credit rating change for the Company, and $300 million in notional amount of interest rate swap agreements which effectively fix the interest rate on the 2013 unsecured term loan at 2.78% through its maturity date of January 31, 2019, assuming no credit rating change for the Company. The 2011 unsecured term loan and the 2013 unsecured term loan, therefore, are reflected as fixed rate debt.
(4)
The weighted average interest rate is a weighted average rate for amounts outstanding under our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, our unsecured senior notes and our unsecured term loans.
(5)
The initial maturity date of the $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility is June 18, 2019; however, there are two, six-month extension options available under the facility providing for a final extended maturity date of June 18, 2020. For the purposes of this schedule, we reflect the maturity date of the facility as the final extended maturity date of June 2020.

(1)

On January 4, 2016, the first business day inside of the 90-day open prepayment window, Piedmont repaid the loan with no prepayment penalty. The funds needed for the repayment were drawn from the Company's revolving line of credit. For additional information, please refer to the Subsequent Events section of Financial Highlights.
(3)
The loan is amortizing based on a 25-year amortization schedule.
(4)
The stated interest rate on the $160 million fixed-rate loan is 3.48%. After the application of interest rate hedges, the effective cost of the financing is approximately 3.58%.
(5)
Weighted average is based on the principal amount outstanding and interest rate at December 31, 2015.
(6)
The $170 million unsecured term loan has a variable interest rate. Piedmont may select from multiple interest rate options under the facility, including the prime rate and various length LIBOR locks. All LIBOR selections are subject to an additional spread (1.125% as of December 31, 2015) over the selected rate based on Piedmont’s current credit rating.
(7)
The $300 million unsecured term loan that closed in 2013 has a stated variable rate; however, Piedmont entered into interest rate swap agreements which effectively fix the interest rate on this loan at 2.78% through its maturity date of January 31, 2019, assuming no credit rating change for the Company.
(8)
The $300 million unsecured term loan that closed in 2011 has a stated variable rate; however, Piedmont entered into interest rate swap agreements which effectively fix the interest rate on this loan at 2.39% until November 22, 2016, assuming no credit rating change for the Company. Additionally, for the period from November 22, 2016 to January 15, 2020, Piedmont has entered into interest rate swap agreements which effectively fix the interest rate on this loan at 3.35%, assuming no credit rating change for the Company.
(9)
All of Piedmont’s outstanding debt as of December 31, 2015, was term debt with the exception of $21 million outstanding on our unsecured revolving credit facility. The $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility has an initial maturity date of June 18, 2019; however, there are two, six-month extension options available under the facility providing for a total extension of up to one year to June 18, 2020. The final extended maturity date is presented on this schedule.
(10)
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, 2015. Piedmont may select from multiple interest rate options with each draw under the facility, including the prime rate and various length LIBOR locks. All LIBOR selections are subject to an additional spread (1.00% as of December 31, 2015) over the selected rate based on Piedmont’s current credit rating.
(11)
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%.
(12)
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%.
(13)
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)
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), less 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)
Please refer to the Indenture dated May 9, 2013, and the Indenture and the Supplemental Indenture dated March 6, 2014, for additional information on the relevant 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014. The Company had capitalized interest of $1,102,518 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, $3,765,950 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, and $2,074,620 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. The Company had principal amortization of $277,217 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, $816,534 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, and $520,067 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.
(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 $1,102,518 for the three months ended December 31, 2015, $3,765,950 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, and $2,074,620 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014.

Tenant Diversification
Percentage of Annualized Leased Revenue (%)
December 31, 2015 as compared to December 31, 2014


    
        









(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 no indication of the credit worthiness of the tenant; in most cases, the lack of a credit rating reflects that a tenant has not sought such a rating.
(3)
Unless otherwise indicated, Lease Expiration represents the expiration year of the majority of the square footage leased by the tenant.
(4)
There are several leases with several different agencies of the U.S. Government with expiration years ranging from 2016 to 2030.

(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" does not indicate that the tenant is of poor credit quality, but can indicate that the tenant or the tenant's debt, if any, has not been rated. Included in this category are such tenants as Independence Blue Cross, McKinsey & Company and Towers Watson.

(1)
The population analyzed consists of consolidated office leases executed during the period with lease terms of greater than one year. Retail leases, as well as leases associated with storage spaces, management offices, and unconsolidated joint venture assets, are excluded from this analysis.
(2)
For the purposes of this analysis, the last twelve months of cash rents for the previous leases are compared to the first twelve months of cash rents for the new leases in order to calculate the percentage change.
(3)
For the purposes of this analysis, the accrual basis rents for 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 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 greater than one year.

NOTE:
The information presented on this page is for all consolidated assets.
(1)
Commitments are unexpired contractual non-incremental tenant improvement obligations for leases executed in current and prior periods that have not yet been incurred, are due over the next five years, and have not otherwise been presented on Piedmont's financial statements. The four largest commitments total approximately $21.9 million, or 54% of the total outstanding commitments.
(2)
Approximately $16.7 million of the total adjustment was for non-incremental tenant improvement commitments for tenants at Aon Center in Chicago, IL, as of the date of sale. Since the Company sold the property during the fourth quarter of 2015, all tenant improvement commitments related to it have been removed.

NOTE:
This information is presented for our consolidated office assets only and excludes activity associated with storage and licensed 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)
The average committed capital cost per square foot per year of lease term for renewal leases completed during the fourth quarter of 2015 was higher than our historical performance on this measure primarily as a result of two large lease renewals that involved higher capital commitments; additionally, the average committed capital cost per square foot per year of lease term for renewal leases completed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, was higher than our historical performance on this measure primarily as a result of two long-term lease renewals completed in Washington, D.C. If the costs associated with these items were to be removed from the average committed capital cost calculation, the average committed capital cost per square foot per year of lease term for renewal leases completed during the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, would be $3.69 and $3.33, respectively. Additionally, the one-year lease renewal with Comdata at 5301 Maryland Way in Brentwood, TN, executed in the third quarter of 2015 is excluded from this analysis as that renewal was superceded by the long-term renewal completed during the fourth quarter of 2015.
(3)
During 2014, we completed one large, 15-year lease renewal and expansion with a significant capital commitment with Jones Lang LaSalle at Aon Center in Chicago, IL. If the costs associated with this lease 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, 2014 would be $2.12 and $4.47, respectively.
(4)
During 2012, we completed one large, long-term lease renewal with an above-average capital commitment with US Bancorp at US Bancorp Center in Minneapolis, MN. If the costs associated with this renewal 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 in 2012 would be $2.73.
(5)
In prior years, Piedmont opportunistically employed a value-add strategy for new property acquisitions. Piedmont defines value-add properties as those acquired with low occupancies at attractive bases with earnings growth and value appreciation potential achievable through leasing up such assets to stabilized occupancies. Because most of the value-add properties acquired by the Company had large vacancies, many of which had not previously been leased (first generation spaces), the leasing of those vacancies has negatively affected Piedmont’s contractual tenant improvements on a per square foot and a per square foot per year basis for new leases.
(6)
During 2015, we completed 7 new leases in Washington, D.C., and Chicago, IL, comprising 680,035 square feet with above-average capital commitments. If the costs associated with these new 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 three months ended December 31, 2015, would be $5.46 and $4.42, respectively, and those for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, would be $5.42 and $4.88, respectively.

Supplemental Definitions

Included in this section are management's statements regarding certain non-GAAP financial measures provided in this supplemental report and reasons why management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors about the Company's financial condition and results of operations. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures are included beginning on page 41.
Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO"): AFFO is calculated by deducting from Core FFO non-incremental capital expenditures and acquisition-related costs and adding back non-cash items including non-real estate depreciation, straight lined rents and fair value lease revenue, non-cash components of interest expense and compensation expense, and by making similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Although AFFO may not be comparable to that of other REITs, we believe it provides a meaningful indicator of our ability to fund cash needs and to make cash distributions to equity owners. AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of our operating performance to net income, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of our liquidity.
 
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 our unconsolidated joint venture properties and development / re-development properties, if any.
 
Core EBITDA: Core EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and incrementally removing any impairment losses, gains or losses from sales of property, or other significant non-recurring items. We do not include impairment losses in this measure, because we feel these types of losses create volatility in our earnings and make it difficult to determine the earnings generated by our ongoing business. We believe Core EBITDA is a reasonable measure of our liquidity. Core EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of cash flows from operating activities or other GAAP basis liquidity measures. Other REITs may calculate Core EBITDA differently and our calculation should not be compared to that of other REITs.
 
Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO"): We calculate Core FFO by starting with FFO, as defined by NAREIT, and adjusting for certain non-recurring items such as gains or losses on the extinguishment of swaps, acquisition-related costs and other significant non-recurring items. Such items create significant earnings volatility. We believe Core FFO provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance and more predictability regarding future earnings potential. Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of our operating performance to net income; therefore, it should not be compared to other REITs' equivalent to Core FFO.
 
EBITDA: EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. We believe EBITDA is an appropriate measure of our ability to incur and service debt. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, as a measure of our liquidity or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating activities. Other REITs may calculate EBITDA differently and our calculation should not be compared to that of other REITs.
 
Funds From Operations ("FFO"): FFO is calculated 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, impairment losses, and gains or losses on consolidation, 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 may provide valuable comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of our operating performance to net income. We believe that FFO is a beneficial indicator of the performance of an equity REIT. However, other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do; therefore, our 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.
 
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 and renovations that change the underlying classification of a building are included in this measure.
 
NOI from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures: NOI from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures is defined as Property NOI attributable to our interests in properties owned through unconsolidated partnerships. We present this measure on an accrual basis and a cash basis, which eliminates the effects of straight lined rents and fair value lease revenue. NOI from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures is a non-GAAP measure and therefore may not be comparable to similarly defined data provided by other REITs.
 
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"): Property NOI is defined as real estate operating income with the add-back of corporate general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, and impairment losses and the deduction of net operating income associated with property management performed by Piedmont for other organizations. We 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 eliminated. The Company uses this measure to assess its operating results and believes it is important in assessing operating performance. Property NOI is a non-GAAP measure which does not have any standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies.
 
Same Store Net Operating Income ("Same Store NOI"): Same Store NOI is calculated as the Property NOI attributable to the properties owned or placed in service during the entire span of the current and prior year reporting periods. Same Store NOI excludes amounts attributable to unconsolidated joint venture assets. We 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 eliminated. We believe Same Store NOI is an important measure of comparison of our properties' operating performance from one period to another. Other REITs may calculate Same Store NOI differently and our calculation should not be compared to that of other REITs.
 
Same Store Properties: Same Store Properties is defined as properties owned or placed in service during the entire span of the current and prior year reporting periods. Same Store Properties excludes unconsolidated joint venture assets. We believe Same Store Properties is an important measure of comparison of our stabilized portfolio performance.

Supplemental Operating & Financial Data
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,” “believe,” “continue” or similar words or phrases that are predictions of future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Examples of such statements in this supplemental package include our estimated Core FFO and Core FFO per diluted share for calendar year 2016 and certain expected future financing requirements and expenditures.
The following are some of the factors that could cause our actual results and expectations to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements: economic, regulatory and socio-economic changes (including accounting standards) that impact the real estate market generally or that could affect the patterns of use of commercial office space, may cause our operating results to suffer and decrease the value of our real estate properties; the success of our real estate strategies and investment objectives, including our ability to identify and consummate suitable acquisitions and divestitures; lease terminations or lease defaults, particularly by one of our large lead tenants; the impact of competition on our efforts to renew existing leases or re-let space on terms similar to existing leases; changes in the economies and other conditions affecting the office market in general and of the specific markets in which we operate, particularly in Chicago, Washington, D.C., and the New York metropolitan area, where we have high concentrations of office properties; the illiquidity of real estate investments could significantly impede our ability to respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties; acquisitions of properties may have unknown risks and other liabilities at the time of acquisition; development and construction delays and resultant increased costs and risks may negatively impact our operating results; our real estate development strategies may not be successful; future terrorist attacks in the major metropolitan areas in which we own properties could significantly impact the demand for, and value of, our properties; additional risks and costs associated with directly managing properties occupied by government tenants; adverse market and economic conditions may negatively affect us and could cause us to recognize impairment charges on our long-lived assets or goodwill or otherwise impact our performance; availability of financing and our lending banks' ability to honor existing line of credit commitments; costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations; future offerings of debt or equity securities may adversely affect the market price of our common stock; changes in market interest rates may have an effect 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; we may be subject to litigation, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition; 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; and other factors detailed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
