Piedmont Office Realty Trust Reports Third Quarter 2018 Results
ATLANTA, October 30, 2018 --Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. ("Piedmont" or the "Company") (NYSE:PDM), an owner of Class A office properties in select sub-markets located primarily within eight major Eastern U.S. office markets, today announced its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Highlights for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018:

Reported Net Income Applicable to Common Stockholders of $0.13 per diluted share;
Achieved Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") of $0.45 per diluted share;
Reported an 8.5% increase in Same Store NOI- Cash Basis as compared to the third quarter of 2017;
Completed over 613,000 square feet of leasing, approximately three-fourths of which related to new leases for currently vacant space, including a new full building lease in Houston;
Entered into a binding contract to sell the Company's last remaining West Coast asset, 800 North Brand Boulevard, for $160.0 million; and
Replaced its existing $500 Million Unsecured 2015 Line of Credit with a new, more favorably priced, $500 Million Unsecured Line of Credit and amended and restated its $300 Million Unsecured 2011 Term Loan to extend the term and decrease the stated interest rate spread over LIBOR.

Commenting on the Company's results, Donald A. Miller, CFA, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The third quarter was one of our best quarters since our IPO. We posted strong financial results, including increases in occupancy levels, rental rates, and portfolio-wide leasing activity during the quarter. Specifically, we completed over 613,000 square feet of leasing, including a significant inaugural lease in Houston, as well as 87,000 square feet of new leasing related to vacant space in our Washington, D.C. portfolio, to end the quarter at 93% leased for our in-service portfolio. Further, we placed our last West Coast asset under contract to sell and completed some key financing activity. Overall, we are very pleased with our third quarter results from a number of different perspectives and hope to sustain that momentum during the last quarter of the year."

Results for the Quarter ended September 30, 2018

Piedmont recognized net income applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended September 30, 2018 of $16.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, as compared with net income of $126.1 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The three months ended September 30, 2017 included approximately $113.2 million, or $0.77 per diluted share, of gains on sales of both a wholly-owned property, as well as an equity interest in a joint venture, whereas the current quarter had no sales or related gains. The current quarter's results reflect increased operating income as a





result of higher overall occupancy in the portfolio in the current period and the operational results of a property acquired during the first quarter of 2018.

Funds From Operations ("FFO") and Core FFO, which remove the impact of the gains on sales mentioned above (as well as depreciation and amortization), were both $0.45 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2018, as compared with $0.42 per diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2017, an increase of $0.03 per diluted share, despite significant net disposition activity since July 1, 2017. In addition to higher occupancy levels and increased rental rates, the increase in both FFO and Core FFO per diluted share is also attributable to a 16.9 million share decrease in our weighted average shares outstanding as a result of share repurchase activity pursuant to the Company's stock repurchase program during the twelve months ended September 30, 2018.

Total revenues and property operating costs were $129.7 million and $49.7 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to $137.6 million and $54.5 million, respectively, for the third quarter of 2017, with the decrease in both items primarily attributable to the net property sales mentioned above, partially offset by increases due to increased rental rates and occupancy in the portfolio.

General and administrative expense was $6.7 million for the third quarter of 2018 compared to $6.2 million for the same period in 2017, with the $0.5 million increase primarily attributable to increased accruals for potential performance-based compensation.

The gain on sale of real estate assets of $109.5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 related to the sale of Two Independence Square, one of the Company's largest wholly-owned assets at the time of the sale, located in Washington, D.C.

Leasing Update

The Company's completed leasing for the third quarter totaled 613,200 square feet, with approximately three-fourths of that activity related to new leases for currently vacant space. The Company's largest lease completed during the quarter was in Houston where a major oilfield services provider signed an almost 17-year, full-building lease for the Company’s newly constructed, 300,000 square foot Enclave Place. Other activity was robust and well-diversified throughout each of the Company's markets. Highlights included the following:

In Washington, D.C. - Reservoir International executed a 29,000 square foot new lease through 2023 and Rapid7, Inc. completed an approximately 17,000 square foot new lease through 2024, both at Arlington Gateway; Global Connections to Employment, Inc. completed a 15,000 square foot new lease through 2028 at 3100 Clarendon Boulevard; Applied Predictive Technologies completed a 12,000 square foot lease expansion through 2028 at 4250 North Fairfax Drive;

In Atlanta - Morgan Stanley Smith Barney Financing, LLC renewed their approximately 18,000 square feet through 2024; and R-T Specialty, LLC executed a renewal and expansion totaling over 17,000 square feet through 2026 at Glenridge Highlands II;

In Dallas - Switch Commerce, LLC renewed their approximately 15,000 square feet at 6565 North MacArthur Blvd. through 2024;

In Boston - TZ Insurance Solutions LLC executed a new lease for 15,000 square feet at 80 Central Street, through 2029;






In Minneapolis - Health Catalyst, Inc. completed an almost 13,000 square foot new lease through 2024 at Crescent Ridge II; and

In Los Angeles - Children’s Hospital Los Angeles signed an approximately 26,000 square foot lease expansion through 2026 at 800 North Brand Boulevard.

The Company's reported leased percentage and weighted average lease term were approximately 93.2% and 6.7 years, respectively, as of September 30, 2018, as compared to 89.2% and 6.5 years, respectively, as of September 30, 2017. The Company has no significant lease expirations for the remainder of 2018. Same Store NOI increased 8.5% on a cash basis and 6.5% on an accrual basis for the three months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. Same Store NOI on a cash basis was favorably impacted by the expiration of several large lease abatements and favorable tax appeals at certain properties. Same Store NOI on an accrual basis was additionally favorably impacted by the commencement of several large leases throughout the portfolio. Details outlining Piedmont's largest upcoming lease expirations, the status of certain major leasing activity, and a schedule of the largest lease abatement periods can be found in the Company's quarterly supplemental information package available at www.piedmontreit.com.

Transactional and Financing Update

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, Piedmont entered into a binding contract to sell 800 North Brand Boulevard to a third party for approximately $160.0 million. 800 North Brand Boulevard is an approximately 527,000 square foot, 21-story, 90% leased, office building constructed in 1990. The sale is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2018 and will complete Piedmont’s exit from the West Coast.

Additionally during the third quarter, Piedmont replaced its existing $500 Million Unsecured 2015 Line of Credit with a new $500 million unsecured line of credit facility priced as of closing at LIBOR plus 90 basis points, a 10 basis point decrease. Further, Piedmont amended and restated its $300 Million Unsecured 2011 Term Loan to extend its maturity date by 22 months, from January 15, 2020 to November 30, 2021. In addition to extending the Company's next significant upcoming debt maturity, the primary rationale for the extension was to include the possibility of five, seven, and ten year debt structures in the Company's available future refinancing options. Additionally, the amendment and restatement decreased the stated interest rate spread as of closing by 15 basis points to 1.0% over LIBOR.

Subsequent to quarter end, Piedmont purchased 9320 Excelsior Boulevard, Hopkins, MN, for $49.4 million, representing a substantial discount to replacement cost and a 10% cap rate on a GAAP and cash basis. 9320 Excelsior Boulevard is a 7-story, approximately 268,000 square foot, Class AA office building situated on 5.84 acres in close proximity to Piedmont's Norman Pointe I building acquired in 2017. 9320 Excelsior Boulevard is 100% leased to Cargill, Inc.

Fourth Quarter 2018 Dividend Declaration

On October 30, 2018, the board of directors of Piedmont declared dividends for the fourth quarter of 2018 in the amount of $0.21 per share on its common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2018, payable on January 3, 2019.






Promotion of C. Brent Smith to President & Chief Investment Officer

On October 30, 2018, the board of directors of Piedmont promoted Chief Investment Officer, C. Brent Smith, to President and Chief Investment Officer of the Company. Mr. Smith has served Piedmont as Chief Investment Officer since 2016. Mr. Donald A. Miller, Chief Executive Officer, will continue to serve in that capacity. Mr. Smith will report to Mr. Miller and work with him on corporate strategy and take a broader role across the Company’s platform.

Guidance for 2018

The Company has narrowed its previously announced guidance for full-year 2018 based upon year-to-date results, the acquisition of 9320 Excelsior Boulevard, and the anticipated sale of 800 North Brand in the fourth quarter of 2018. Management's current expectations are as follows:

These estimates reflect management's view of current market conditions and incorporate certain economic and operational assumptions and projections. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates based on a variety of factors, particularly the timing of any future acquisitions and dispositions as well as those factors discussed under "Forward Looking Statements" below.

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

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this release and the accompanying quarterly supplemental information as of and for the period ended September 30, 2018 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.

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

(1) Includes amounts attributable to consolidated properties and our proportionate share of amounts attributable to unconsolidated joint ventures.
(2)Other investments consist of our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, active redevelopment and development projects, land, and recently completed redevelopment and development projects for which some portion of operating expenses were capitalized during the current or prior reporting periods. The operating results from 500 TownPark in Lake Mary, Florida, and Two Pierce Place in Itasca, IL are included in this line item.

*Definitions:


EBITDAre: The Company calculates EBITDAre in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines EBITDAre as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) adjusted for gains or losses from sales of property, impairment losses, depreciation on real estate assets, amortization on real estate assets, interest expense and taxes, along with the same adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Some of the adjustments mentioned can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates. EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it provides a metric for understanding the Company’s results from ongoing operations without taking into account the effects of non-cash expenses (such as depreciation and amortization) and capitalization and capital structure expenses (such as interest expense and taxes). The Company also believes that EBITDAre can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. However, other REITs may not define EBITDAre in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of EBITDAre may not be





comparable to that of such other REITs.

Core EBITDA: The Company calculates Core EBITDA as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and incrementally removing any impairment losses, gains or losses from sales of property and other significant infrequent items that create volatility within our earnings and make it difficult to determine the earnings generated by our core ongoing business. Core EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Core EBITDA is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it provides a metric for understanding the performance of the Company’s results from ongoing operations without taking into account the effects of non-cash expenses (such as depreciation and amortization), as well as items that are not part of normal day-to-day operations of the Company’s business. Other REITs may not define Core EBITDA in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Core EBITDA may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
 
Property Net Operating Income ("Property NOI"): The Company calculates Property NOI by starting with Core EBITDA and adjusting for general and administrative expense, income associated with property management performed by Piedmont for other organizations and other income or expense items for the Company, such as interest income from loan investments or costs from the pursuit of non-consummated transactions. The Company may present this measure on an accrual basis or a cash basis. When presented on a cash basis, the effects of straight lined rents and fair value lease revenue are also eliminated. Property NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Property NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental comparative performance measure of income generated by its properties alone without the administrative overhead of the Company. Other REITs may not define Property NOI in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Property NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

Same Store Net Operating Income ("Same Store NOI"): The Company calculates Same Store NOI as Property NOI attributable to the properties for which the following criteria were met during the entire span of the current and prior year reporting periods: (i) they were owned, (ii) they were not under development / redevelopment, and (iii) none of the operating expenses for which were capitalized. Same Store NOI also excludes amounts attributable to unconsolidated joint venture and 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 46 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, 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 39. Each of the non-GAAP measures included in this report has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company’s results calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of non-GAAP measures in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies, including other REITs. The Company may also change the calculation of any of the non-GAAP measures included in this report from time to time in light of its then existing operations.

In certain presentations herein, the Company has provided disaggregated financial and operational data (for example, some pieces of information are displayed by geography, industry, or lease expiration year) for informational purposes for readers; however, regardless of the various presentation approaches taken herein, we continue to evaluate and utilize our consolidated financial results in making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing our performance.

As of September 30, 2018, our consolidated office portfolio consisted of 53 properties (exclusive of one property that was taken out of service for redevelopment on January 1, 2018, Two Pierce Place in Itasca, IL), whereas it consisted of 67 properties at December 31, 2017. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company sold a 14-property portfolio consisting of 2.6 million square feet (additional details about which can be found on page 37), and we acquired 501 West Church Street, a 182,000 square foot office building located in Orlando, FL. There were no acquisitions or dispositions of office properties completed during the second or third quarters of 2018.
(2)
The figure for September 30, 2018 excluded one property that was taken out of service for redevelopment on January 1, 2018, Two Pierce Place in Itasca, IL, consisting of approximately 487,000 square feet; the Company's total rentable square footage including this property was 16.7 million square feet.

Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc.
Financial Highlights
As of September 30, 2018


Financial Results (1) 

Net income attributable to Piedmont for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $16.1 million, or $0.13 per share (diluted), compared to $126.1 million, or $0.87 per share (diluted), for the same quarter in 2017. Net income attributable to Piedmont for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $84.9 million, or $0.65 per share (diluted), compared to $164.9 million, or $1.13 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2017. The decrease in net income attributable to Piedmont for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same periods in 2017 was primarily due to the recognition of a larger amount of total gains on sales of real estate during 2017 ($119.6 million year-to-date) when compared to 2018 ($45.2 million year-to-date), in addition to a decrease in income from continuing operations in 2018 resulting from the net disposition of approximately $760 million in properties since the beginning of 2017.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $57.6 million, or $0.45 per share (diluted), compared to $60.8 million, or $0.42 per share (diluted), for the same quarter in 2017. FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $167.0 million, or $1.27 per share (diluted), compared to $193.5 million, or $1.33 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2017. The decrease in dollar amount of FFO for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same periods in 2017 was primarily attributable to net disposition activity completed since the beginning of 2017 amounting to approximately $760 million of properties, including the sales of Two Independence Square in Washington, D.C., in July 2017 and a 14-property portfolio in January 2018. In addition to the explanations provided above, the per share results for 2018 were positively influenced by the amount of shares of Company stock repurchased through Piedmont's board-approved stock repurchase program over the trailing twelve month period, amounting to approximately 17.3 million shares, or about $323 million, of repurchases.

Core funds from operations (Core FFO) for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $57.6 million, or $0.45 per share (diluted), compared to $60.8 million, or $0.42 per share (diluted), for the same quarter in 2017. Core FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $168.7 million, or $1.29 per share (diluted), compared to $193.5 million, or $1.33 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2017. The decrease in dollar amount of Core FFO for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same periods in 2017 was primarily attributable to the net disposition activity described above for changes in FFO. The per share results for 2018 were positively influenced by the Company's share repurchase activity described above for changes in FFO per share.

Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) for the quarter ended September 30, 2018 was $45.5 million, compared to $52.4 million for the same quarter in 2017. AFFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was $130.7 million, compared to $157.4 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease in AFFO for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 when compared to the same periods in 2017 was primarily due to the net disposition activity described above for changes in FFO and Core FFO in addition to an increase in capital expenditures in 2018 attributable to recent leasing activity.

Operations and Leasing

Within its portfolio, Piedmont has 53 office properties located primarily in eight major office markets in the eastern portion of the United States and one re-development property. The Company's redevelopment property is Two Pierce Place, an approximately 487,000 square foot office property located in the Chicago market. Due to its redevelopment status, this property is excluded from Piedmont's in-service operating portfolio for the purposes of statistical reporting throughout this supplemental report. For additional information regarding this redevelopment project, please refer to page 38 of this report.

On a square footage leased basis, our total in-service office portfolio was 93.2% leased as of September 30, 2018, as compared to 89.7% at the beginning of the year and 89.2% a year earlier. Please refer to page 27 for additional leased percentage information.

The weighted average remaining lease term of our in-service portfolio was 6.7 years(2) as of September 30, 2018 as compared to 6.5 years at December 31, 2017. Our weighted average adjusted Annualized Lease Revenue(3) per square foot for our in service portfolio was $35.69 as of September 30, 2018.

(1)
FFO, Core FFO and AFFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures. See page 39 for definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures, and pages 15 and 41 for reconciliations of FFO, Core FFO and AFFO to Net Income.
(2)
Remaining lease term (after taking into account leases for vacant spaces which had been executed but not commenced as of September 30, 2018) is weighted based on Annualized Lease Revenue, as defined on page 39.
(3)
Annualized Lease Revenue is adjusted for buildings at which tenants pay operating expenses directly to include such operating expenses as if they were paid by the Company and reimbursed by the tenants as under a typical net lease structure, thereby reflecting the true gross rental rate for those buildings.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company completed approximately 613,000 square feet of total leasing. Of the total leasing activity completed during the quarter, we signed new tenant leases for approximately 475,000 square feet. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we completed approximately 1,378,000 square feet of leasing for our consolidated office properties, including approximately 764,000 square feet of 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 (net of commitment expirations during the period) was $5.61 (see page 33).

Of particular significance during the third quarter of 2018 was the Company's completion of a 301,000 square foot, full-building lease at Enclave Place, Piedmont's 11-story, ground-up development located within a deed-restricted and architecturally-controlled office park in the Energy Corridor of Houston, TX. The approximately 17-year lease with an international energy services company has the potential to commence at the beginning of the third quarter of 2019. See the Development / Redevelopment section below for additional information.

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, we executed eleven leases greater than 10,000 square feet at our consolidated office properties. Information on those leases is set forth below.

Future Lease Commencements and Abatements

As of September 30, 2018, our overall leased percentage was 93.2% and our economic leased percentage was 86.6%. 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 547,197 square feet of leases as of September 30, 2018, or 3.4% of the portfolio); and
2)
leases which have commenced but are within rental abatement periods (amounting to 758,869 square feet of leases as of September 30, 2018, or a 3.2% 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 (with the gap this quarter being heavily influenced by the Transocean lease for 301,000 square feet of vacant space at Enclave Place in Houston, TX, attributable for 1.9% of the 6.6% gap), (2) abatements associated with existing or newly executed leases commence and expire (see page 8 for more detail on existing large leases with abatements), and/or (3) properties are bought and sold. Consequently, the absolute level of economic leased percentage and its growth over time are the primary management metrics and not the spread between reported and economic leased percentages at any one point in time. As additional leasing is completed for vacant space and the overall portfolio leased percentage increases, the economic leased percentage will naturally follow as new leases commence and any related abatement periods expire.

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

During the second quarter of 2018, Schlumberger signed a 225,726 square foot lease renewal and expansion. The expansion component is comprised of 63,145 square feet and is the portion of the lease presented on this line. Schlumberger currently subleases the 63,145 square feet from Technip. Schlumberger's direct lease for the space will commence on January 1, 2019, immediately following the expiration of Technip's lease.
(2)
The commencement of the Gartner lease occurs in three phases. The first phase of 98,134 square feet commenced during the third quarter of 2018 and is receiving ten months of rental abatements. The other two phases presented in this table have not yet commenced and will not receive any rental abatements. The tenant has options to accelerate the commencement dates for the second and third phases and may choose to do so.

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 due to several 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. There were no abatements of 50,000 square feet or greater that expired during the third quarter of 2018.

* The tenant's existing lease at another building in Houston terminates in 2021. The tenant desired to have access to its new space at Enclave Place on an accelerated basis without duplicative rental charges. Piedmont was able to negotiate into the lease other economic and credit-supporting terms as a result of this longer potential free rent period.


Financing and Capital Activity

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

Dispositions
On August 31, 2018, Piedmont entered into a binding contract to sell 800 North Brand Boulevard, a 21-story, 90% leased, 527,000 square foot office building located in Glendale, CA. The sale price is $160.0 million, or approximately $303 per square foot. The sale is scheduled to close during the fourth quarter of 2018 and will allow the Company to:
reduce the number of projects owned outside of its eight strategic operating markets to two; and
dispose of its last remaining West Coast property.
The two remaining projects that Piedmont owns outside of its eight strategic markets currently have a combined leased percentage of 100% and a weighted average lease term remaining of over 13 years.

Acquisitions
There were no acquisitions completed during the quarter ended September 30, 2018.

Information regarding property transaction activity effected after the end of the third quarter of 2018 can be found under the Subsequent Events heading below. For additional information on acquisitions and dispositions completed over the previous eighteen months, please refer to page 37.

Development / Redevelopment
The Company had no ground-up developments underway as of September 30, 2018. During the third quarter of 2018, the Company continued a nearly $14 million redevelopment (with approximately $13.4 million already spent) at Two Pierce Place in Itasca, IL. The project includes a renovation of the property's lobby and exterior plaza, an elevator modernization, the enhancement and addition of building amenities, and the acquisition and improving of additional land to increase the building's parking ratio.

As recently announced, Piedmont completed a 301,000 square foot, full-building lease at the newly constructed Enclave Place in Houston, TX, during the third quarter of 2018. The nearly 17-year lease was signed with an international energy services company and the location will function as the tenant’s US headquarters. The estimated cash and GAAP returns on cost after all lease-related obligations are funded are in the low 7% range. While the yields on cost achieved are less than that originally underwritten as a result of the recent challenging leasing conditions in Houston, the strengthening of oil market fundamentals in 2018 has led to increased office market activity - and allowed the company to complete the long-term lease with an internationally-known tenant at positive economics relative to recent expectations.
Additional detail on the Company's developable land parcels, all of which are located adjacent to existing Piedmont properties, as well as information on the current redevelopment project, can be found on page 38.

Finance
On September 28, 2018, Piedmont closed on a new $500 million unsecured line of credit. The new revolver replaced the Company's prior credit facility of equal size providing an extended term and a reduced credit spread (thereby, reducing the all-in interest rate under the new facility relative to the prior facility). The new revolver has a term of four years, with two six-month extension options, for a total potential term of five years; the initial maturity date of September 30, 2022, is approximately three and one-quarter years beyond that of the prior facility. The unsecured line of credit has the option to bear interest at varying levels based on (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), or (ii) the Base Rate, defined as the greater of the prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, or LIBOR for a one-month period plus one percent. The interest rate for LIBOR-based loans is LIBOR + 90.0 basis points and the annual facility fee is 20.0 basis points. The facility is structured to allow for an increase in size up to a total commitment of $1.0 billion at the election of Piedmont; however, no existing bank has an obligation to participate in any such increase. The loan syndicate consists of a total of 13 major banks. The Company's previous revolver was terminated concurrently with the closing of the new facility.

On September 28, 2018, Piedmont closed on an extension of the $300 million unsecured term loan that was originally put in place in 2011 and amended and extended in 2014. The maturity date of the loan was extended approximately 22 months from January 15, 2020 to November 30, 2021. Other than extending the Company's next significant debt maturity, a key reason for the extension was to enable Piedmont to maximize available future refinancing options under its current debt maturity schedule, allowing for the consideration of 5-, 7-, or 10-year debt structures when the loan matures in 2021 all while maintaining a laddered debt maturity profile. In addition to the extension of the maturity date, the applicable credit spread was reduced by 15 basis points (thereby, reducing the all-in interest rate under the facility relative to the prior structure). The interest rate options available under the credit facility are all floating interest rates. However, the previously existing interest rate swap agreements will continue to be applied to this loan, resulting in an effective interest rate of 3.20% through the termination date of the swaps on January 15, 2020, assuming no credit rating change for the Company. No additional funds were borrowed under the facility through this transaction.

As of September 30, 2018, our ratio of debt to total gross assets was 37.8%. This debt ratio is based on total principal amount outstanding for our various loans at September 30, 2018.

As of September 30, 2018, our average net debt to Core EBITDA ratio was 5.8 x, and the same measure at December 31, 2017 was 5.6 x.
Stock Repurchase Program
No common stock repurchases were made during the third quarter of 2018. Since the stock repurchase program began in December 2011, the Company has repurchased approximately 45.8 million shares at an average price of $17.74 per share, or approximately $812.7 million in aggregate (before the consideration of transaction costs). As of quarter end, Board-approved capacity remaining for additional repurchases totaled approximately $123.5 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 August 1, 2018, the Board of Directors of Piedmont declared a dividend for the third quarter of 2018 in the amount of $0.21 per common share outstanding to stockholders of record as of the close of business on August 31, 2018. The dividend was paid on September 21, 2018. The Company's dividend payout percentage (for dividends declared) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was 49% of Core FFO and 63% of AFFO.

Subsequent Events

On October 25, 2018, Piedmont completed the purchase of 9320 Excelsior Boulevard, a 268,000 square foot, 100% leased, seven-story, Class AA office building with a three-level parking structure (offering 4.6 spaces per 1,000 square feet of space), located in Hopkins, MN, for $49.4 million, or approximately $184 per square foot. The 2010-vintage building is currently leased and occupied by an investment-grade tenant through 2023; however, the investment offers upside potential as the sole tenant desires to rationalize its space usage, yet it has no contractual rights to do so. This situation provides Piedmont with time to consider various restructuring alternatives to find a solution that will work for both the Company and the tenant and that will provide a compelling risk-adjusted return for investors. The property is situated within a park-like office development at the northeast corner of Highway 169 and Excelsior Boulevard, between the prominent suburbs of Minnetonka and Edina, with easy accessibility to Interstates 394 and 494, offering excellent connectivity to the entire Minneapolis metropolitan area. The asset complements the Company's existing Minneapolis portfolio in terms of physical quality and location, allowing both marketing and operating synergies. The acquisition was completed at an estimated discount to replacement cost of almost 50% and estimated GAAP and cash yields of approximately 10%.

On October 30, 2018, the Board of Directors of Piedmont declared a dividend for the fourth quarter of 2018 in the amount of $0.21 per common share outstanding to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 30, 2018. The dividend is expected to be paid on January 3, 2019.

Guidance for 2018

The following financial guidance for calendar year 2018 has been narrowed and is based upon year-to-date results and management's expectations at this time, inclusive of the $160 million sale of 800 North Brand Boulevard in Glendale, CA, as well as the acquisition of 9320 Excelsior Boulevard in Hopkins, MN.

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

(1)
The impairment loss on real estate assets recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 was related to certain properties within the 14-property portfolio disposition that closed at the beginning of 2018. Accounting standards require that any anticipated loss from an asset sale be recorded as an impairment charge when the likelihood of a sale becomes probable. Conversely, any gain on the sale of an asset is not recorded until the sale transaction closes. Therefore, during the fourth quarter of 2017, Piedmont recorded impairment losses associated with the 14-property portfolio disposition totaling $46.5 million; however, it recorded a nearly equal amount of gains relating to other properties within the same transaction totaling $45.2 million during the first quarter of 2018.
(2)
The gain on sale of real estate reflected in the first quarter of 2018 was related to certain assets within the 14-property portfolio sale on which the company recorded a total of $45.2 million in gains. The gain on sale of real estate reflected in the third quarter of 2017 was related to the sale of Two Independence Square in Washington, DC, on which the Company recorded a $109.5 million gain.

(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)
Dividends are reflected in the quarter in which they were declared.
(4)
On December 13, 2017, the Board of Directors of Piedmont declared a special dividend in the amount of $0.50 per common share outstanding to stockholders of record as of the close of business on December 26, 2017 as a result of taxable gains realized on property sales occurring during 2017.
(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 $374,868 for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, $346,488 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, $106,873 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, $37,908 for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, and $37,259 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017; the Company had principal amortization of $161,405 for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, $239,331 for the quarter ended June 30, 2018, $236,041 for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, $232,796 for the quarter ended December 31, 2017, and $229,596 for the quarter ended September 30, 2017.
(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.
(8)
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.

NOTE:
The Company has provided disaggregated financial data for informational purposes for readers; however, regardless of the presentation approach used, we continue to evaluate and utilize our consolidated financial results in making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing our performance.
(1)
The increase in metropolitan New York Same Store Net Operating Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily related to increased economic occupancy at 200 and 400 Bridgewater Crossing in Bridgewater, NJ.
(2)
The increase in Atlanta Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017 was primarily related to increased economic occupancy at Galleria 200 and Glenridge Highlands One in Atlanta, GA.
(3)
The increase in Washington, D.C. Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017 was primarily due to successful property tax appeals and increased economic occupancy at One Independence Square in Washington, D.C., in addition to increased economic occupancy at 3100 Clarendon Boulevard and 4250 North Fairfax Drive, both in Arlington, VA. Partially offsetting these favorable results was decreased economic occupancy associated with lease expirations at 1201 Eye Street in Washington, D.C., and Arlington Gateway in Arlington, VA.
(4)
The increase in Minneapolis Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017 was primarily attributable to increased economic occupancy at US Bancorp Center in Minneapolis, MN.
(5)
The increase in Orlando Same Store Net Operating Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily attributable to increased economic occupancy at CNL Center II in Orlando, FL.
(6)
The decrease in Dallas Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017 was primarily due to the downtime between the expiration of a whole-building lease and the commencement of the replacement whole-building lease at 6011 Connection Drive, as well as lease expirations at 6031 Connection Drive, both in Irving, TX.
(7)
The increase in Chicago Same Store Net Operating Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily a result of increased economic occupancy at 500 West Monroe Street in Chicago, IL.

NOTE:
The Company has provided disaggregated financial data for informational purposes for readers; however, regardless of the presentation approach used, we continue to evaluate and utilize our consolidated financial results in making operating decisions, allocating resources, and assessing our performance.
(1)
The increase in metropolitan New York Same Store Net Operating Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily related to increased rental income associated with the commencement of new leases at 400 Bridgewater Crossing in Bridgewater, NJ.
(2)
The increase in Washington, D.C. Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017 was primarily due to successful property tax appeals and increased rental income resulting from the commencement of several new leases at One Independence Square in Washington, D.C., in addition to increased rental income resulting from the commencement of several new leases at 3100 Clarendon Boulevard and 4250 North Fairfax Drive, both in Arlington, VA. Partially offsetting these favorable results was the loss of rental income associated with lease expirations at 1201 Eye Street in Washington, D.C., and Arlington Gateway in Arlington, VA.
 
(3)
The decrease in Dallas Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017 was primarily due to the downtime between the expiration of a whole-building lease and the commencement of the replacement whole-building lease at 6011 Connection Drive, as well as lease expirations at 6031 Connection Drive, both in Irving, TX.
(4)
The increase in Minneapolis Same Store Net Operating Income for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017 was primarily attributable to increased rental income associated with the commencement of new leases at US Bancorp Center in Minneapolis, MN.
(5)
The increase in Chicago Same Store Net Operating Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily attributable to increased rental income resulting from the commencement of several new leases, along with the expiration of operating expense recovery abatement periods, at 500 West Monroe Street in Chicago, IL.
(6)
The decrease in Other Same Store Net Operating Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017 was influenced by a lease contraction at 800 North Brand Boulevard in Glendale, CA.

(1)
All of Piedmont's outstanding debt as of September 30, 2018, was interest-only debt with the exception of the $30.0 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 of floating rate debt represents the $235 million outstanding balance as of September 30, 2018 on the $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility and the $100 million in principal amount of the $250 million unsecured term loan that remained unhedged as of September 30, 2018. The $300 million unsecured term loan that closed in 2011 and the $250 million unsecured term loan that closed in 2018 have stated variable rates. However, Piedmont entered into interest rate swap agreements to effectively fix a portion of the aggregate principal balance of the two loans. For the 2011 unsecured term loan, Piedmont entered into $300 million in notional amount of interest rate swap agreements which effectively fix the interest rate on the loan at 3.20% through January 15, 2020, assuming no credit rating change for the company. For the $250 million unsecured term loan, Piedmont entered into $100 million in notional amount of seven-year interest rate swap agreements and $50 million in notional amount of two-year interest rate swap agreements, resulting in an effectively fixed interest rate a) on $150 million of the term loan at 4.11% through March 29, 2020 and b) on $100 million of the term loan at 4.21% from March 30, 2020 through the loan's maturity date of March 31, 2025, assuming no credit rating change for the Company.
(4)
The initial maturity date of the $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility is September 30, 2022; however, there are two, six-month extension options available under the facility providing for a final extended maturity date of September 29, 2023. For the purposes of this schedule, we reflect the maturity date of the facility as the initial maturity date of September 2022.

(2)
The loan is amortizing based on a 25-year amortization schedule.
(3)
The loan has a stated interest rate of 5.55%; however, upon acquiring 5 Wall Street and assuming the loan, the Company marked the debt to its estimated fair value as of that time, resulting in an effective interest rate of 3.75%.
(4)
The stated interest rate on the $160 million fixed-rate loan is 3.48%. After the application of interest rate hedges, the effective cost of the financing is approximately 3.58%.
(5)

(6)
The $300 million unsecured term loan that closed in 2011 has a stated variable rate; however, Piedmont entered into interest rate swap agreements which effectively fix the interest rate on this loan at 3.20% through January 15, 2020, assuming no credit rating change for the Company.

The new facility has an initial maturity date of September 30, 2022; however, there are two, six-month extension options available under the facility providing for a total extension of up to one year to September 29, 2023. The initial maturity date is presented on this schedule.
(8)

Piedmont may select from multiple interest rate options with each draw under the facility, including the prime rate and various length LIBOR locks. The base interest rate associated with each LIBOR interest period selection is subject to an additional spread (0.90% as of September 30, 2018) based on Piedmont’s then current credit rating.
(9)
The $350 million unsecured senior notes were offered for sale at 99.601% of the principal amount.

(10)

For the portion of the loan that continues to have a variable interest rate, Piedmont may select from multiple interest rate options, including the prime rate and various length LIBOR locks. The base interest rate associated with each LIBOR interest period selection is subject to an additional spread (1.60% as of September 30, 2018) based on Piedmont's then current credit rating.
(12)
The GAAP accounting adjustments relate to original issue discounts, third-party fees, and lender fees resulting from the procurement processes for our various debt facilities, along with debt fair value adjustments associated with the assumed 5 Wall Street debt. The original issue discounts and fees, along with the debt fair value adjustments, are amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the related debt.

(1)
This schedule presents all tenants contributing 1.0% or more to Annualized Lease Revenue.
(2)
Credit rating may reflect the credit rating of the parent or a guarantor. When available, both the Standard & Poor's credit rating and the Moody's credit rating are provided. The absence of a credit rating for a tenant is not an indication of the creditworthiness of the tenant; in most cases, the lack of a credit rating reflects that the tenant has not sought such a rating.
(3)
Unless otherwise indicated, Lease Expiration represents the expiration year of the majority of the square footage leased by the tenant.
(4)
There are several leases with several different agencies of the U.S. Government with expiration years ranging from 2018 to 2032. Of the total population of U.S. Government leases, leases contributing 1.9% to Annualized Lease Revenue expire in 2025 and after.
(5)
Of the total amount of space leased to the tenant, the lease for approximately 125,000 square feet expires in 2019 and the lease for approximately 16,000 square feet expires in 2025. One additional lease for 4,000 square feet expires in 2024.
(6)
Of the total amount of space leased to the tenant, approximately 63,000 square feet has been subleased to the other tenant in the building, Schlumberger Technology, through December 2018, the end of Technip's lease term. Schlumberger then directly leases that particular space from the Company through 2028, with the commencement of its direct lease occurring immediately following the Technip lease expiration. Schlumberger has certain rights to expand into the remaining portion of the Technip space, comprised of 87,000 square feet, which the Company is actively marketing for lease.

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

(1)
The population analyzed consists of consolidated office leases executed during the period with lease terms of greater than one year. Leases associated with storage spaces, management offices, newly acquired assets for which there is less than one year of operating history, and unconsolidated joint venture assets 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.
(6)
The results for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 were influenced by one large transaction, the 226,000 square foot lease extension and expansion with Schlumberger Technology Corporation at 1430 Enclave Parkway in Houston, TX. If the effects of this transaction were to be removed, the percentage change in cash and accrual rents for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 would be 7.1% and 18.9%, respectively.

(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.

These adjustments effectively incorporate known roll ups and roll downs into the expiration schedule.
(2)
Includes leases with an expiration date of September 30, 2018, comprised of approximately 14,000 square feet and Annualized Lease Revenue of $0.3 million.
(3)

Because the payable date for a mid-term space refresh allowance under the 801,000 square foot lease to Independence Blue Cross at 1901 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA, now falls within the five-year period covered by this disclosure, it has been added to the outstanding commitments total.

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 2018, we completed two large leasing transactions in the Houston, TX market with large capital commitments: a 225,726 square foot lease renewal and expansion with Schlumberger Technology Corporation at 1430 Enclave Parkway and a 300,906 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 nine months ended September 30, 2018 would be $4.62, $5.90, and $5.39, respectively.
(3)
The average committed capital cost per square foot per year of lease term for renewal leases completed during 2015 was higher than our historical performance on this measure primarily as a result of four large lease renewals, two of which were completed in the Washington, D.C. market, that involved higher capital commitments. If the costs associated with those renewals 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 2015 would be $3.33.
(4)
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 2014 would be $2.12 and $4.47, respectively.
(5)
During 2015, we completed seven new leases in Washington, D.C., and Chicago, IL, comprising 680,035 square feet with above-average capital commitments. If the costs associated with those 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 2015 would be $5.42 and $4.88, respectively.
(6)
The Company has historically reported capital committed in leasing transactions at lease signing with no subsequent updates for variations and/or changes in tenants' uses of tenant improvement allowances. Many times, tenants do not use the full allowance provided in their leases or let portions of their tenant improvement allowances expire. In an effort to provide additional clarity on the actual cost of completed leasing transactions, tenant improvement allowances that expired in the current period or can no longer be used by tenants is disclosed in this section and are deducted from the current period's capital commitments per square foot of leased space in an effort to provide a better estimation of leasing transaction costs over time.

(2)

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 our unconsolidated joint venture properties and development / re-development properties, 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.
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.
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"): 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 unconsolidated joint venture and 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 unconsolidated joint venture and land assets.

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,” "estimate," “believe,” “continue” or similar words or phrases that are predictions of future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Examples of such statements in this supplemental package include our estimated Core FFO and Core FFO per diluted share for calendar year 2017 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 / or 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; 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 sector in general and the specific markets in which we operate, particularly in Washington, D.C., the New York metropolitan area, and Chicago where we have high concentrations of office properties; the illiquidity of real estate investments, including the resulting impediment on our ability to quickly respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties; the risks and uncertainties associated with the acquisition of properties, many of which risks and uncertainties may not be known at the time of acquisition; development and construction delays and resultant increased costs and risks; our real estate development strategies may not be successful; future acts of terrorism in any of the major metropolitan areas in which we own properties or future cybersecurity attacks against us or any of our tenants; additional risks and costs associated with directly managing properties occupied by government tenants; the effect on us of adverse market and economic conditions, including any resulting impairment charges on both our long-lived assets or goodwill; availability of financing and our lending banks' ability to honor existing line of credit commitments; costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations; the effect of future offerings of debt or equity securities or changes in market interest rates on the value of our common stock; 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; any change in the financial condition of any of our large lead tenants; the effect of any litigation to which we are, or may become, subject; changes in tax laws impacting REITs and real estate in general, as well as our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986; the future effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures; and other factors detailed in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this supplemental report. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this supplemental report, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
