EXPLANATORY NOTE
We refer to Highwoods Properties, Inc. as the “Company,” Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership as the “Operating Partnership,” the Company’s common stock as “Common Stock” or “Common Shares,” the Company’s preferred stock as “Preferred Stock” or “Preferred Shares,” the Operating Partnership’s common partnership interests as “Common Units” and the Operating Partnership’s preferred partnership interests as “Preferred Units.” References to “we” and “our” mean the Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively, unless the context indicates otherwise.
The Company conducts its activities through the Operating Partnership and is its sole general partner. The partnership agreement provides that the Operating Partnership will assume and pay when due, or reimburse the Company for payment of, all costs and expenses relating to the ownership and operations of, or for the benefit of, the Operating Partnership. The partnership agreement further provides that all expenses of the Company are deemed to be incurred for the benefit of the Operating Partnership.
Except as otherwise noted, all property-level operational information presented herein includes in-service wholly owned properties and in-service properties owned by consolidated joint ventures (at 100%). Development projects are not considered in-service properties until such projects are completed and stabilized. Stabilization occurs at the beginning of the first quarter after the earlier of: (1) the projected stabilization date, or (2) the date on which a project's occupancy generally exceeds 93%.
Certain information contained herein is presented as of July 18, 2023, the latest practicable date for financial information prior to the filing of this Quarterly Report.
This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2023 of the Company and the Operating Partnership. We believe combining the quarterly reports into this single report results in the following benefits:
•
combined reports better reflect how management and investors view the business as a single operating unit;
•
combined reports enhance investors’ understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management;
•
combined reports are more efficient for the Company and the Operating Partnership and result in savings in time, effort and expense; and
•
combined reports are more efficient for investors by reducing duplicative disclosure and providing a single document for their review.
To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:
•
Consolidated Financial Statements;
•
Note 11 to Consolidated Financial Statements - Earnings Per Share and Per Unit;
•
Item 4 - Controls and Procedures; and
•
Item 6 - Certifications of CEO and CFO Pursuant to Sections 302 and 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Description of Business
Highwoods Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) is a fully integrated office real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns, develops, acquires, leases and manages properties primarily in the best business districts of Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Nashville, Orlando, Raleigh, Richmond and Tampa. The Company conducts its activities through Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). As of June 30, 2023, we owned or had an interest in
28.5
million rentable square feet of in-service properties,
1.6
million rentable square feet of office properties under development and development land with approximately
5.2
million rentable square feet of potential office build out.
Capital Structure
The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2023, the Company owned all of the Preferred Units and
105.1
million, or
97.8
%, of the Common Units in the Operating Partnership. Limited partners owned the remaining
2.4
million Common Units. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company redeemed
7,294
Common Units for cash.
During the first quarter of 2023, we entered into separate equity distribution agreements in which the Company may offer and sell up to
300.0
million in aggregate gross sales price of shares of Common Stock. During each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company issued
no
shares of Common Stock under its equity distribution agreements.
Basis of Presentation
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
The Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements include the Operating Partnership, wholly owned subsidiaries and those entities in which the Company has the controlling interest. The Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements include wholly owned subsidiaries and those entities in which the Operating Partnership has the controlling interest. We consolidate joint venture investments, such as interests in partnerships and limited liability companies, when we control the major operating and financial policies of the investment through majority ownership, in our capacity as a general partner or managing member or through some other contractual right. In addition, we consolidate those entities deemed to be variable interest entities in which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary.
As of June 30, 2023, we are involved with
six
entities we determined to be variable interest entities,
one
of which we are the primary beneficiary and is consolidated and
five
of which we are not the primary beneficiary and are not consolidated. We also own
three
properties through a joint venture investment that were deconsolidated effective January 1, 2023 (See Note 3).
All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information contain all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We have condensed or omitted certain notes and other information from the interim Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this Quarterly Report as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
17
Table of Contents
Use of Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Insurance
We are primarily self-insured for health care claims for participating employees. To limit our exposure to significant claims, we have stop-loss coverage on a per claim and annual aggregate basis. We use all relevant information to determine our liabilities for claims, including actuarial estimates of claim liabilities. When determining our liabilities, we include claims for incurred losses, even if they are unreported.
As of June 30, 2023, a reserve of $
0.5
million was recorded to cover estimated reported and unreported claims.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) that provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). These optional expedients and exceptions provide guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting. If certain criteria are met, entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Entities can also elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The guidance in this ASU is optional and may be elected now through December 31, 2024 as reference rate reform activities occur. We will continue to evaluate the impact of this ASU; however, we currently expect to avail ourselves of such optional expedients and exceptions should our modified contracts meet the required criteria.

Leases
Operating Leases
We generally lease our office properties to lessees in exchange for fixed monthly payments that cover rent, property taxes, insurance and certain cost recoveries, primarily common area maintenance. Office properties owned by us that are under lease are primarily located in Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Richmond and Tampa and are leased to a wide variety of lessees across many industries. Our leases are operating leases and mostly range from
three
to
10
years. We recognized rental and other revenues related to operating lease payments of $
203.8
million and $
200.7
million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $
413.2
million and $
404.3
million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Included in these amounts are variable lease payments of $
17.5
million and $
17.7
million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $
37.0
million and $

Investments in and Advances to Affiliates
Unconsolidated Affiliates
- Highwoods-Markel Associates, LLC (“Markel”)
Markel is a joint venture in which we own a
50.0
% interest that was consolidated as of December 31, 2022 because we controlled the major operating and financial policies of the entity. Effective January 1, 2023, the agreement governing the joint venture was modified to require the consent of both partners for major operating and financial policies of the entity. As a result, Markel was deconsolidated effective January 1, 2023, and this joint venture is now accounted for using the equity method of accounting. We recognized a gain on deconsolidation of $
11.8
million related to adjusting our retained interest in the joint venture to fair value. The assets of Markel can be used only to settle obligations of the joint venture, and its creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets.
- Granite Park Six JV, LLC/ GPI 23 Springs JV, LLC (“Granite Park Six joint venture”/“23Springs joint venture”)
During 2022, we entered the Dallas market through the formation of
two
joint ventures with Granite Properties (“Granite”) to develop Granite Park Six and 23Springs. We own a
50.0
% interest in each of these two joint ventures. We determined that we have a variable interest in both the Granite Park Six and 23Springs joint ventures primarily because the entities were designed to pass along interest rate risk, equity price risk and operation risk to us and Granite as equity holders. The joint ventures were further determined to be variable interest entities as they require additional subordinated financial support in the form of loans because the initial equity investments provided by us and Granite are not sufficient to finance the planned investments and operations. We concluded we do not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of either entity and therefore do not qualify as the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the entities are not consolidated. As of June 30, 2023, our risk of loss with respect to these arrangements was limited to the carrying value of each investment balance. Our investment balances were $
41.4
million and $
55.3
million as of June 30, 2023 for Granite Park Six and 23Springs, respectively. The assets of the Granite Park Six and 23Springs joint ventures can be used only to settle obligations of the respective joint venture, and their creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets.
- M+O JV, LLC (“McKinney & Olive joint venture”)
During 2022, we expanded our Dallas market presence by acquiring McKinney & Olive through the formation of another joint venture with Granite. We own a
50.0
% interest in this joint venture. Upon formation, we determined that we had a variable interest in the McKinney & Olive joint venture primarily because the entity was designed to pass along interest rate risk, equity price risk and operation risk to us and Granite as equity holders. The McKinney & Olive joint venture was further determined to be a variable interest entity as it required additional subordinated financial support, in the form of a loan, because the initial equity investments by us and Granite, including the additional preferred equity provided by us, were not sufficient to finance its planned investments and operations. We concluded we did not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the entity and therefore did not qualify as the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the entity was not consolidated upon formation.
During the second quarter of 2023, we and Granite each contributed an additional $
40.0
million of common equity to the McKinney & Olive joint venture. Such proceeds were then used by the joint venture to redeem our $
80.0
million short-term preferred equity investment in full. The $
40.0
million of net proceeds were used to repay amounts outstanding under our $
750.0
million revolving credit facility. Prior to the redemption, the preferred equity received monthly distributions at a rate of
SOFR
plus
350
basis points. This reconsideration event did not change our initial conclusion that we have a variable interest in the McKinney & Olive joint venture and that the McKinney & Olive joint venture is a variable interest entity. The reconsideration event also did not change our conclusion that we do not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the entity and therefore do not qualify as the primary beneficiary. As such, the entity remains unconsolidated as of June 30, 2023.
As of June 30, 2023, our risk of loss with respect to this arrangement was $
123.5
million, which represents the carrying value of our investment balance. The assets of the McKinney & Olive joint venture can be used only to settle obligations of the joint venture, and its creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets.

- Midtown East Tampa, LLC (“Midtown East joint venture”)
During 2022, we formed the Midtown East joint venture in Tampa with The Bromley Companies (“Bromley”). We own a
50.0
% interest in this joint venture. We determined that we have a variable interest in the Midtown East joint venture primarily because the entity was designed to pass along interest rate risk, equity price risk and operation risk to us as both a debt and equity holder and Bromley as an equity holder. The Midtown East joint venture was further determined to be a variable interest entity as it requires additional subordinated financial support in the form of a loan because the initial equity investments provided by us and Bromley are not sufficient to finance its planned investments and operations. We concluded we do not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the entity and therefore do not qualify as the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the entity is not consolidated. As of June 30, 2023, our risk of loss with respect to this arrangement was limited to the carrying value of our investment balance of $
3.4
million as
no
amounts were outstanding under the loan we have provided to the joint venture. The assets of the Midtown East joint venture can be used only to settle obligations of the joint venture, and its creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets.
- Brand/HRLP 2827 Peachtree LLC (“2827 Peachtree joint venture”)
During 2021, we formed the 2827 Peachtree joint venture in Atlanta with Brand Properties, LLC (“Brand”). We own a
50.0
% interest in this joint venture. We determined that we have a variable interest in the 2827 Peachtree joint venture primarily because the entity was designed to pass along interest rate risk, equity price risk and operation risk to us as both a debt and equity holder and Brand as an equity holder. The 2827 Peachtree joint venture was further determined to be a variable interest entity as it requires additional subordinated financial support in the form of a loan because the initial equity investments provided by us and Brand are not sufficient to finance its planned investments and operations. We concluded we do not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the entity and therefore do not qualify as the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the entity is not consolidated. As of June 30, 2023, our risk of loss with respect to this arrangement was $
40.1
million, which consists of the $
13.8
million carrying value of our investment balance plus the $
26.3
million outstanding balance of the loan we have provided to the joint venture. The assets of the 2827 Peachtree joint venture can be used only to settle obligations of the joint venture, and its creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets.
Consolidated Affiliate
- HRLP MTW, LLC (“Midtown West joint venture”)
In 2019, we formed the Midtown West joint Venture in Tampa with Bromley. We own an
80.0
% interest in this joint venture. We determined that we have a variable interest in the Midtown West joint venture primarily because the entity was designed to pass along interest rate risk, equity price risk and operation risk to us as both a debt and an equity holder and Bromley as an equity holder. The Midtown West joint venture was further determined to be a variable interest entity as it requires additional subordinated financial support in the form of a loan because the initial equity investments provided by us and Bromley are not sufficient to finance its planned investments and operations. We, as majority owner and managing member and through our control rights as set forth in the joint venture’s governance documents, were determined to be the primary beneficiary as we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity (primarily lease rates, property operations and capital expenditures) and significant economic exposure through our equity investment and loan commitment. As such, the Midtown West joint venture is consolidated and all intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated.

As of June 30, 2023, our secured mortgage loans were collateralized by real estate assets with an undepreciated book value of $
1,164.7
million.
Our $
750.0
million unsecured revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in March 2025 and includes an accordion feature that currently allows for an additional $
200.0
million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments. Assuming no defaults have occurred, we have an option to extend the maturity for
two
additional
six
-month periods. The interest rate on our revolving credit facility is
SOFR
plus a related spread adjustment of
10
basis points and a borrowing spread of
85
basis points, based on current credit ratings. The annual facility fee is
20
basis points. The interest rate and facility fee are based on the higher of the publicly announced ratings from Moody’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services. We may be entitled to a temporary reduction in the interest rate of
one
basis point provided we meet certain sustainability goals with respect to the ongoing reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. There was $
190.0
million and $
185.0
million outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2023 and July 18, 2023, respectively. As of both June 30, 2023 and July 18, 2023, we had $
0.9
million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the availability on our revolving credit facility. As a result, the unused capacity of our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2023 and July 18, 2023 was $
559.1
million and $
564.1
million, respectively.
During the first quarter of 2023, we obtained a $
200.0
million,
five
-year secured mortgage loan from a third party lender, with an effective fixed interest rate of
5.69
%. This loan is scheduled to mature in April 2028. We incurred $
1.3
million of debt issuance costs, which will be amortized over the term of the loan.
We are currently in compliance with financial covenants with respect to our consolidated debt.
We have considered our short-term liquidity needs within
one year
from July 25, 2023 (the date of issuance of the quarterly financial statements) and the adequacy of our estimated cash flows from operating activities and other available financing sources to meet these needs. We have concluded it is probable we will meet these short-term liquidity requirements through a combination of the following:
•
available cash and cash equivalents;
•
cash flows from operating activities;
•
issuance of debt securities by the Operating Partnership;
•
issuance of secured debt;
•
bank term loans;
•
borrowings under our revolving credit facility;
•
issuance of equity securities by the Company or the Operating Partnership; and
•
the disposition of non-core assets.

Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The following summarizes the levels of inputs that we use to measure fair value.
Level 1.
Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Our Level 1 asset is our investment in marketable securities that we use to pay benefits under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Our Level 1 liability is our non-qualified deferred compensation obligation. The Company’s Level 1 noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership relate to the ownership of Common Units by various individuals and entities other than the Company.
Level 2.
Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.
Our Level 2 assets include the fair value of our mortgages and notes receivable. Our Level 2 liabilities include the fair value of our mortgages and notes payable and any interest rate swaps.
The fair value of mortgages and notes receivable and mortgages and notes payable is estimated by the income approach, utilizing contractual cash flows and market-based interest rates to approximate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction between market participants. The fair value of any interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard
24
Table of Contents
methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments of interest rate swaps are based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observed market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are considered in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk, but were concluded to not be significant inputs to the calculation for the periods presented.
Level 3.
Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
Our Level 3 assets include any real estate assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a result of our quarterly impairment analysis, which are valued using unobservable local and national industry market data such as comparable sales, appraisals, brokers’ opinions of value and/or the terms of definitive sales contracts. Significant increases or decreases in any valuation inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

(1) Amounts are not recorded at fair value on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
As of January 1, 2023, there was a level 3 investment in Markel that was measured at a fair value of $
57.1
million upon deconsolidation. The estimated fair value was calculated using a broker opinion of value, which incorporates an income approach, as observable inputs were not available. Key assumptions used in the fair value calculation for the operating buildings were an estimated discount rate of
10.8
% and an estimated terminal capitalization rate of
8.8
%. The estimated fair value of the surrounding land currently used for parking was calculated based on its multifamily development potential, which was determined to be the highest and best use of the land.

Segment Information
The following tables summarize rental and other revenues and net operating income for our office properties. Net operating income is the primary industry property-level performance metric used by our chief operating decision maker and is defined as rental and other revenues less rental property and other expenses. Our segment information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 has been retrospectively revised from previously reported amounts to reflect a change in our reportable segments as a result of our plan to exit the Pittsburgh market.

Executive Summary
We are in the work-placemaking business. We believe that in creating environments and experiences where the best and brightest can achieve together what they cannot apart, we can deliver greater value to our customers, their teammates and, in turn, our stockholders. Our simple strategy is to own and operate high-quality workplaces in the BBDs within our footprint, maintain a strong balance sheet to be opportunistic throughout economic cycles, employ a talented and dedicated team and communicate transparently with all stakeholders. We focus on owning and managing buildings in the most dynamic and vibrant BBDs. BBDs are highly-energized and amenitized workplace locations that enhance our customers’ ability to attract and retain talent. They are both urban and suburban. Providing the most talent-supportive workplace options in these environments is core to our work-placemaking strategy.
Our investment strategy is to generate attractive and sustainable returns over the long term for our stockholders by developing, acquiring and owning a portfolio of high-quality, differentiated office buildings in the BBDs of our core markets. A core component of this strategy is to continuously strengthen the financial and operational performance, resiliency and long-term growth prospects of our existing in-service portfolio and recycle those properties that no longer meet our criteria.
Revenues
Our operating results depend heavily on successfully leasing and operating the office space in our portfolio. Economic growth and office employment levels in our core markets are important factors, among others, in predicting our future operating results. The key components affecting our rental and other revenues are average occupancy, rental rates, cost recovery income, new developments placed in service, acquisitions and dispositions. Average occupancy generally increases during times of improving economic growth, as our ability to lease space outpaces vacancies that occur upon the expirations of existing leases. Average occupancy generally declines during times of slower or negative economic growth, when new vacancies tend to outpace our ability to lease space. Asset acquisitions, dispositions and new developments placed in service directly impact our rental revenues and could impact our average occupancy, depending upon the occupancy rate of the properties that are acquired, sold or placed in service. A further indicator of the predictability of future revenues is the expected lease expirations of our portfolio. As a result, in addition to seeking to increase our average occupancy by leasing current vacant space, we also concentrate our leasing efforts on renewing existing leases prior to expiration. For more information regarding our lease expirations, see “Item 2. Properties - Lease Expirations” and “Item 1A. Risk Factors – Risks Related to our Operations – Potential changes in customer behavior, such as the continued social acceptance, desirability and perceived economic benefits of work-from-home arrangements, could materially and negatively impact the future demand for office space over the long-term” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Occupancy in our office portfolio decreased from 91.0% as of December 31, 2022 to 88.9% as of June 30, 2023. We expect average occupancy for our office portfolio to be approximately 88.5% to 89.5% for the remainder of 2023.
Whether or not our rental revenue tracks average occupancy proportionally depends upon whether GAAP rents under signed new and renewal leases are higher or lower than the GAAP rents under expiring leases. Annualized rental revenues from second generation leases expiring during any particular year are typically less than 15% of our total annual rental revenues. The following table sets forth information regarding second generation office leases signed during the second quarter of 2023 (we define second generation office leases as leases with new customers and renewals of existing customers in office space that has been previously occupied under our ownership and leases with respect to vacant space in acquired buildings):

Table of Contents
We strive to maintain a diverse, stable and creditworthy customer base. We have an internal guideline whereby customers that account for more than 3% of our revenues are periodically reviewed with the Company’s Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2023, Bank of America (3.8%) and Asurion (3.5%) accounted for more than 3% of our annualized GAAP revenues.
Expenses
Our expenses primarily consist of rental property expenses, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. From time to time, expenses also include impairments of real estate assets. Rental property expenses are expenses associated with our ownership and operation of rental properties. Some of these expenses vary somewhat proportionately to occupancy and usage levels, such as janitorial services and utilities. Other expenses do not vary based on occupancy, such as property taxes and insurance. Since our properties and related building and tenant improvement assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over fixed lives, depreciation and amortization, which is a non-cash expense associated with the ownership of real property, generally remains relatively consistent each year, unless we buy, place in service or sell assets. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of management and employee salaries and benefits, corporate overhead and short and long-term incentive compensation.
Net Operating Income
Whether or not we record increasing net operating income (“NOI”) in our same property portfolio typically depends upon our ability to garner higher rental revenues, whether from higher average occupancy, higher GAAP rents per rentable square foot or higher cost recovery income, that exceed any corresponding growth in operating expenses. Same property NOI was $2.2 million, or 1.6%, lower in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 2022 due to an increase of $4.4 million in same property expenses offset by an increase of $2.2 million in same property revenues. We expect same property NOI to be lower for the remainder of 2023 as compared to 2022 as an anticipated increase in same property expenses is expected to more than offset higher anticipated same property revenues. We expect same property revenues to be higher due to higher average GAAP rents per rentable square foot and higher cost recovery income, partially offset by an anticipated decrease in average occupancy.
In addition to the effect of same property NOI, whether or not NOI increases typically depends upon whether the NOI from our acquired properties and development properties placed in service exceeds the NOI from property dispositions. NOI was $0.5 million, or 0.3%, lower in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to lower same property NOI, NOI lost from property dispositions and the deconsolidation of our Highwoods-Markel Associates, LLC joint venture (“Markel”), partially offset by the acquisition of SIX50 at Legacy Union and development properties placed in service. We expect NOI to be lower for the remainder of 2023 as compared to 2022 for similar reasons.
Cash Flows
In calculating net cash related to operating activities, depreciation and amortization, which are non-cash expenses, are added back to net income. We have historically generated a positive amount of cash from operating activities. From period to period, cash flow from operations depends primarily upon changes in our net income, as discussed more fully below under “Results of Operations,” changes in receivables and payables and net additions or decreases in our overall portfolio.
Net cash related to investing activities generally relates to capitalized costs incurred for leasing and major building improvements and our acquisition, development, disposition and joint venture activity. During periods of significant net acquisition and/or development activity, our cash used in such investing activities will generally exceed cash provided by investing activities, which typically consists of cash received upon the sale of properties and distributions from our joint ventures.
Net cash related to financing activities generally relates to distributions, incurrence and repayment of debt, and issuances, repurchases or redemptions of Common Stock, Common Units and Preferred Stock. We use a significant amount of our cash to fund distributions. Whether or not we have increases in the outstanding balances of debt during a period depends generally upon the net effect of our acquisition, disposition, development and joint venture activity. We generally use our revolving credit facility for daily working capital purposes, which means that during any given period, in order to minimize interest expense, we may record significant repayments and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.
For a discussion regarding dividends and distributions, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources - Dividends and Distributions.”

Table of Contents
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our plan is to continue to maintain a flexible balance sheet with ample liquidity to fund our operations and growth prospects. As of July 18, 2023, we had approximately $22 million of existing cash and $185.0 million drawn on our $750.0 million revolving credit facility, which is scheduled to mature in March 2026, assuming we exercise our option to extend the maturity date for two additional six-month periods. As of June 30, 2023, our leverage ratio, as measured by the ratio of our mortgages and notes payable and outstanding preferred stock to the undepreciated book value of our assets, was 42.0%, and there were 107.8 million diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding.
Rental and other revenues are our principal source of funds to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. Other sources of funds for short-term liquidity needs include available working capital and borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which had $564.1 million of availability as of July 18, 2023. Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses, interest and principal amortization on our debt, distributions and capital expenditures, including building improvement costs, tenant improvement costs and lease commissions. Building improvements are capital costs to maintain or enhance existing buildings not typically related to a specific customer. Tenant improvements are the costs required to customize space for the specific needs of customers. We anticipate that our available cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by operating activities and planned financing activities, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility, will be adequate to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. We use our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes and for the short-term funding of our development and acquisition activity and, in certain instances, the repayment of other debt. Continued ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility allows us to quickly capitalize on strategic opportunities at short-term interest rates.
We generally believe existing cash and rental and other revenues will continue to be sufficient to fund short-term liquidity needs such as funding operating and general and administrative expenses, paying interest expense, maintaining our existing quarterly dividend and funding existing portfolio capital expenditures, including building improvement costs, tenant improvement costs and lease commissions.
Our long-term liquidity uses generally consist of the retirement or refinancing of debt upon maturity, funding of building improvements, new building developments (including our proportionate share of joint venture developments) and land infrastructure projects and funding acquisitions of buildings and development land. Additionally, we may, from time to time, retire outstanding equity and/or debt securities through redemptions, open market repurchases, privately negotiated acquisitions or otherwise.
We expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs through a combination of:
•
cash flows from operating activities;
•
issuance of debt securities by the Operating Partnership;
•
issuance of secured debt;
•
bank term loans;
•
borrowings under our revolving credit facility;
•
issuance of equity securities by the Company or the Operating Partnership; and
•
the disposition of non-core assets.
We have no debt scheduled to mature prior to 2026 other than our $200.0 million, two-year unsecured bank term loan that is scheduled to mature in October 2025 if we exercise our option to extend the maturity date for one additional year. We generally believe we will be able to satisfy these obligations with existing cash, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, new bank term loans, issuance of other unsecured debt, mortgage debt and/or proceeds from the sale of additional non-core assets.
Investment Activity
As noted above, a key tenet of our strategic plan is to continuously upgrade the quality of our office portfolio through acquisitions, dispositions and development. We generally seek to acquire and develop office buildings that improve the average quality of our overall portfolio and deliver consistent and sustainable value for our stockholders over the long-term. Whether or
33
Table of Contents
not an asset acquisition or new development results in higher per share net income or funds from operations (“FFO”) in any given period depends upon a number of factors, including whether the NOI for any such period exceeds the actual cost of capital used to finance the acquisition or development. Additionally, given the length of construction cycles, development projects are not placed in service until several years after commencement in some cases. Sales of non-core assets could result in lower per share net income or FFO in any given period if the return on the resulting use of proceeds does not exceed the capitalization rate on the sold properties.

Results of Operations
Deconsolidation of Markel
Markel is a joint venture in which we own a 50.0% interest that was consolidated as of December 31, 2022 because we controlled the major operating and financial policies of the entity. Effective January 1, 2023, the agreement governing the joint venture was modified to require the consent of both partners for major operating and financial policies of the entity. As a result, Markel was deconsolidated effective January 1, 2023, and this joint venture is now accounted for using the equity method of accounting.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
Rental and Other Revenues
Rental and other revenues were $3.5 million, or 1.7%, higher in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to the acquisition of SIX50 at Legacy Union, higher same property revenues and development properties placed in service, which increased rental and other revenues by $3.3 million, $2.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Same property rental and other revenues were higher primarily due to higher average GAAP rents per rentable square foot and higher cost recovery and parking income, partially offset by a decrease in average occupancy. These increases were partially offset by lost revenue from property dispositions and the deconsolidation of our Markel joint venture, which decreased rental and other revenues by $2.3 million and $1.4 million, respectively. We expect rental and other revenues to be lower for the remainder of 2023 as compared to 2022 due to lost revenue from property dispositions and the deconsolidation of our Markel joint venture, partially offset by the acquisition of SIX50 at Legacy Union, development properties placed in service and higher same property revenues.
Operating Expenses
Rental property and other expenses were $3.9 million, or 6.3%, higher in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to higher same property operating expenses and the acquisition of SIX50 at Legacy Union, which increased operating expenses by $4.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Same property operating expenses were higher primarily due to higher contract services, repairs and maintenance, property insurance, property taxes and utilities. These increases were partially offset by decreases in operating expenses from property dispositions and the deconsolidation of our Markel joint venture, which decreased operating expenses by $0.9 million and $0.5 million, respectively. We expect rental property and other expenses to be higher for the remainder of 2023 as compared to 2022 for similar reasons.
Depreciation and amortization was $5.3 million, or 7.6%, higher in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to the acquisition of SIX50 at Legacy Union, development properties placed in service and higher same property lease related depreciation and amortization, partially offset by property dispositions and the deconsolidation of our Markel joint venture. We expect depreciation and amortization to be higher for the remainder of 2023 as compared to 2022 for similar reasons.
We recorded an impairment charge of $35.0 million in the second quarter of 2022 to lower the carrying amount of EQT Plaza to its estimated fair value less cost to sell. EQT Plaza is a 616,000 square foot office building located in the heart of Pittsburgh’s CBD. EQT Corporation’s lease of 317,000 square feet at EQT Plaza is scheduled to expire in September 2024. There are no assurances that EQT Corporation will renew all or any of its space upon expiration of its current lease. We recorded no such impairment in 2023.
General and administrative expenses were $0.2 million, or 2.2%, lower in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to lower equity incentive compensation and office rent, partially offset by gains on deferred compensation plan investments (which is fully offset by a corresponding increase in other income). We expect general and administrative expenses to be lower for the remainder of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to lower equity incentive compensation and office rent.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $9.0 million, or 36.1%, higher in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to higher average interest rates and higher average debt balances, partially offset by higher capitalized interest. We expect interest expense to be higher for the remainder of 2023 as compared to 2022 for similar reasons.

Table of Contents
Other Income
Other income was $1.1 million higher in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to dividend income from short-term preferred equity contributed to the McKinney and Olive joint venture.
Gains on Disposition of Property
Gains on disposition of property were $30.7 million lower in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 2022.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $0.5 million higher in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to the deconsolidation of our Markel joint venture and the acquisition of McKinney and Olive.
Earnings Per Common Share - Diluted
Diluted earnings per common share was $0.08 lower in the second quarter of 2023 as compared to 2022 due to a decrease in net income for the reasons discussed above.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
Rental and Other Revenues
Rental and other revenues were $9.8 million, or 2.4%, higher in the first six months of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to the acquisition of SIX50 at Legacy Union, higher same property revenues and development properties placed in service, which increased rental and other revenues by $6.8 million, $6.4 million and $3.6 million, respectively. Same property rental and other revenues were higher primarily due to higher average GAAP rents per rentable square foot and higher cost recovery and parking income, partially offset by a decrease in average occupancy. These increases were partially offset by lost revenue from property dispositions and the deconsolidation of our Markel joint venture, which decreased rental and other revenues by $4.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively.
Operating Expenses
Rental property and other expenses were $8.2 million, or 6.7%, higher in the first six months of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to higher same property operating expenses, the acquisition of SIX50 at Legacy Union, carry costs for acquired land parcels and development properties placed in service, which increased operating expenses by $8.6 million, $1.5 million, $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Same property operating expenses were higher primarily due to higher contract services, property taxes, utilities, repairs and maintenance and property insurance. These increases were partially offset by decreases in operating expenses from property dispositions and the deconsolidation of our Markel joint venture, which decreased operating expenses by $1.8 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization was $6.2 million, or 4.5%, higher in the first six months of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to the acquisition of SIX50 at Legacy Union, development properties placed in service and higher same property lease related depreciation and amortization, partially offset by property dispositions and the deconsolidation of our Markel joint venture.
We recorded an impairment charge of $35.0 million in the first six months of 2022 to lower the carrying amount of EQT Plaza to its estimated fair value less cost to sell. EQT Plaza is a 616,000 square foot office building located in the heart of Pittsburgh’s CBD. EQT Corporation’s lease of 317,000 square feet at EQT Plaza is scheduled to expire in September 2024. There are no assurances that EQT Corporation will renew all or any of its space upon expiration of its current lease. We recorded no such impairment in 2023.
General and administrative expenses were $1.4 million, or 5.8%, lower in the first six months of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to lower equity incentive compensation and office rent, partially offset by gains on deferred compensation plan investments (which is fully offset by a corresponding increase in other income).

Table of Contents
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $17.7 million, or 35.9%, higher in the first six months of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to higher average interest rates and higher average debt balances, partially offset by higher capitalized interest.
Other Income
Other income was $1.8 million higher in the first six months of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to dividend income from short-term preferred equity contributed to the McKinney and Olive joint venture, interest income on the loan provided to the 2827 Peachtree joint venture and gains on deferred compensation plan investments (which is fully offset by a corresponding increase in general and administrative expenses).
Gains on Disposition of Property
Gains on disposition of property were $34.3 million lower in the first six months of 2023 as compared to 2022.
Gain on Deconsolidation of Affiliate
We recognized a gain on deconsolidation of $11.8 million related to adjusting our retained interest in Markel to fair value.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $0.9 million higher in the first six months of 2023 as compared to 2022 primarily due to the deconsolidation of our Markel joint venture and the acquisition of McKinney and Olive.
Earnings Per Common Share - Diluted
Diluted earnings per common share was $0.04 lower in the first six months of 2023 as compared to 2022 due to a decrease in net income for the reasons discussed above.

(37,828)
The change in net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2023 as compared to 2022 was primarily due to higher interest expense, property dispositions and changes in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by net cash from the operations of SIX50 at Legacy Union acquired in the prior year and development properties placed in service. We expect net cash related to operating activities to be lower for the remainder of 2023 as compared to 2022 for similar reasons.
The change in net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2023 as compared to 2022 was primarily due to the redemption of our short-term preferred equity investment in the McKinney and Olive joint venture, earnest money deposits in 2022, lower investments in acquired real estate and lower investments in tenant improvements, partially offset by investments in the 2827 Peachtree, 23Springs and Midtown East joint ventures, lower net proceeds from disposition activity and higher investments in building improvements. We expect uses of cash for investing activities for the remainder of 2023 to be primarily driven by whether we acquire or commence development of additional office buildings in the BBDs of our markets. We expect these uses of cash for investing activities will be partially offset by proceeds from property dispositions in 2023.
The change in net cash used in financing activities in the first six months of 2023 as compared to 2022 was primarily due to lower net debt borrowings. Assuming the net effect of our acquisition, disposition and development activity in 2023 results in an increase to our assets, we would expect outstanding debt and/or Common Stock balances to increase.

The secured indebtedness was collateralized by real estate assets with an undepreciated book value of $1,164.7 million. As of June 30, 2023, $740.0 million of our debt bears interest at floating rates.

Investment Activity
In the normal course of business, we regularly evaluate potential acquisitions. As a result, from time to time, we may have one or more potential acquisitions under consideration that are in varying stages of evaluation, negotiation or due diligence, including potential acquisitions that are subject to non-binding letters of intent or enforceable contracts. Consummation of any transaction is subject to a number of contingencies, including the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. No assurances can be provided that we will acquire any properties in the future. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors - Risks Related to our Capital Recycling Activity - Recent and future acquisitions and development properties may fail to perform in accordance with our expectations and may require renovation and development costs exceeding our estimates” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
During 2021, we acquired development land in Nashville for a purchase price, including capitalized acquisition costs, of $16.0 million, which was expected to be paid in or prior to the second quarter of 2023. This amount has been paid in full as of June 30, 2023.
During the second quarter of 2023, we acquired land in Raleigh for a purchase price, including capitalized acquisition costs, of $2.7 million.
During the second quarter of 2023, we sold three buildings in Tampa and Raleigh for an aggregate sales price of $51.3 million and recorded aggregate gains on disposition of property of $19.4 million.
During the second quarter of 2023, we and Granite Properties each contributed an additional $40.0 million of common equity to the McKinney & Olive joint venture. Such proceeds were then used by the joint venture to redeem our $80.0 million short-term preferred equity investment in full. The $40.0 million of net proceeds were used to repay amounts outstanding under our $750.0 million revolving credit facility. Prior to the redemption, the preferred equity received monthly distributions at a rate of SOFR plus 350 basis points.
As of June 30, 2023, we were developing 1.6 million rentable square feet of office properties. The following table summarizes these announced and in-process office developments:

Financing Activity
During the first quarter of 2023, we entered into separate equity distribution agreements with each of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., BTIG, LLC, Jefferies LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Regions Securities LLC, TD Securities (USA) LLC and Truist Securities, Inc. Under the terms of the equity distribution agreements, the Company may offer and sell up to $300.0 million in aggregate gross sales price of shares of Common Stock from time to time through such firms, acting as agents of the Company or as principals. Sales of the shares, if any, may be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices or as otherwise agreed with any of such firms (which may include block trades). During the second quarter of 2023, there were no shares of common stock issued under these agreements.

Our $750.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in March 2025 and includes an accordion feature that currently allows for an additional $200.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments. Assuming no defaults have occurred, we have an option to extend the maturity for two additional six-month periods. The interest rate on our revolving credit facility is SOFR plus a related spread adjustment of 10 basis points and a borrowing spread of 85 basis points, based on current credit ratings. The annual facility fee is 20 basis points. The interest rate and facility fee are based on the higher of the publicly announced ratings from Moody’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services. We may be entitled to a temporary reduction in the interest rate of one basis point provided we meet certain sustainability goals with respect to the ongoing reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. There was $190.0 million and $185.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2023 and July 18, 2023, respectively. As of both June 30, 2023 and July 18, 2023, we had $0.9 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the availability on our revolving credit facility. As a result, the unused capacity of our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2023 and July 18, 2023 was $559.1 million and $564.1 million, respectively.
We are currently in compliance with financial covenants and other requirements with respect to our consolidated debt. Although we expect to remain in compliance with these covenants and ratios for at least the next year, depending upon our future operating performance, property and financing transactions and general economic conditions, we cannot provide any assurances that we will continue to be in compliance.
Our revolving credit facility and bank term loans require us to comply with customary operating covenants and various financial requirements. Upon an event of default on our revolving credit facility, the lenders having at least 51.0% of the total commitments under our revolving credit facility can accelerate all borrowings then outstanding, and we could be prohibited from borrowing any further amounts under our revolving credit facility, which would adversely affect our ability to fund our operations. In addition, certain of our unsecured debt agreements contain cross-default provisions giving the unsecured lenders the right to declare a default if we are in default under more than $35.0 million with respect to other loans in some circumstances.
The indenture that governs the Operating Partnership’s outstanding notes requires us to comply with customary operating covenants and various financial ratios. The trustee or the holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of any series of notes can accelerate the principal amount of such series upon written notice of a default that remains uncured after 60 days.
We may not be able to repay, refinance or extend any or all of our debt at maturity or upon any acceleration. If any refinancing is done at higher interest rates, the increased interest expense could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to pay distributions. Any such refinancing could also impose tighter financial ratios and other covenants that restrict our ability to take actions that could otherwise be in our best interest, such as funding new development activity, making opportunistic acquisitions, repurchasing our securities or paying distributions.
Dividends and Distributions
To maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must pay dividends to stockholders that are at least 90.0% of its annual REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains. The partnership agreement requires the Operating Partnership to distribute at least enough cash for the Company to be able to pay such dividends. The Company’s REIT taxable income, as determined by the federal tax laws, does not equal its net income under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In addition, although capital gains are not required to be distributed to maintain REIT status, capital gains, if any, are subject to federal and state income tax unless such gains are distributed to stockholders.
Cash dividends and distributions reduce the amount of cash that would otherwise be available for other business purposes, including funding debt maturities, reducing debt or future growth initiatives. The amount of future distributions that will be made is at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors. For a discussion of the factors that will affect such cash flows and, accordingly, influence the decisions of the Company’s Board of Directors regarding dividends and distributions, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Dividends and Distributions” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On July 19, 2023, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per share of Common Stock, which is payable on September 12, 2023 to stockholders of record as of August 21, 2023.
During the second quarter of 2023, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.50 per share of Common Stock.

Current and Future Cash Needs
We anticipate that our available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities and other available financing sources, including the issuance of debt securities by the Operating Partnership, the issuance of secured debt, bank term loans, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, the issuance of equity securities by the Company or the Operating Partnership and the disposition of non-core assets, will be adequate to meet our short-term liquidity requirements
.
We generally believe existing cash and rental and other revenues will continue to be sufficient to fund operating and general and administrative expenses, interest expense, our existing quarterly dividend and existing portfolio capital expenditures, including building improvement costs, tenant improvement costs and lease commissions.
We had $17.0 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2023. The unused capacity of our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2023 and July 18, 2023 was $559.1 million and $564.1 million, respectively, excluding an accordion feature that allows for an additional $200.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments.
We have a currently effective automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC pursuant to which, at any time and from time to time, in one or more offerings on an as-needed basis, the Company may sell an indefinite amount of common stock, preferred stock and depositary shares and the Operating Partnership may sell an indefinite amount of debt securities, subject to our ability to effect offerings on satisfactory terms based on prevailing market conditions.
The Company from time to time enters into equity distribution agreements with a variety of firms pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time through such firms, acting as agents of the Company or as principals. Sales of the shares, if any, may be made by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices or as otherwise agreed with any of such firms (which may include block trades).
During the remainder of 2023, we expect to sell up to $150 million of properties no longer considered to be core assets due to location, age, quality and/or overall strategic fit. We can make no assurance, however, that we will sell any additional non-core assets or, if we do, what the timing or terms of any such sale will be.
See also “Executive Summary - Liquidity and Capital Resources.”
Critical Accounting Estimates
There were no changes made by management to the critical accounting policies in the six months ended June 30, 2023. For a description of our critical accounting estimates, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Non-GAAP Information
The Company believes that FFO, FFO available for common stockholders and FFO available for common stockholders per share are metrics that are beneficial to management and investors and are important indicators of the performance of any equity REIT. Because these FFO calculations exclude such factors as depreciation, amortization and impairments of real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets, which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. Management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes the use of FFO, FFO available for common stockholders and FFO available for common stockholders per share, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s performance relative to its competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities.
FFO, FFO available for common stockholders and FFO available for common stockholders per share are non-GAAP financial measures and therefore do not represent net income or net income per share as defined by GAAP. Net income and net income per share as defined by GAAP are the most relevant measures in determining the Company’s operating performance because these FFO measures include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation, amortization and impairments. Furthermore, FFO available for common stockholders per share does not depict the amount that accrues directly to the stockholders’ benefit. Accordingly, FFO, FFO available for common stockholders and FFO available for common stockholders per share should never be considered as alternatives to net income, net income available for
41
Table of Contents
common stockholders, or net income available for common stockholders per share as indicators of the Company’s operating performance.
The Company’s presentation of FFO is consistent with FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which is calculated as follows:
•
Net income/(loss) computed in accordance with GAAP;
•
Less net income, or plus net loss, attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates;
•
Plus depreciation and amortization of depreciable operating properties;
•
Less gains, or plus losses, from sales of depreciable operating properties, plus impairments on depreciable operating properties and excluding items that are classified as extraordinary items under GAAP;
•
Plus or minus our share of adjustments, including depreciation and amortization of depreciable operating properties, for unconsolidated joint venture investments (to reflect funds from operations on the same basis); and
•
Plus or minus adjustments for depreciation and amortization and gains/(losses) on sales of depreciable operating properties, plus impairments on depreciable operating properties, and noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates related to discontinued operations.
In calculating FFO, the Company includes net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, which the Company believes is consistent with standard industry practice for REITs that operate through an UPREIT structure. The Company believes that it is important to present FFO on an as-converted basis since all of the Common Units not owned by the Company are redeemable on a one-for-one basis for shares of its Common Stock.

In addition, the Company believes NOI and same property NOI are useful supplemental measures of the Company’s property operating performance because such metrics provide a performance measure of the revenues and expenses directly involved in owning real estate assets and a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or FFO. The Company defines NOI as rental and other revenues less rental property and other expenses. The Company defines cash NOI as NOI less lease termination fees, straight-line rent, amortization of lease incentives and amortization of acquired above and below market leases. Other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate NOI, same property NOI and cash NOI.

Table of Contents
As of June 30, 2023, our same property portfolio consisted of 155 in-service properties encompassing 26.7 million rentable square feet that were wholly owned during the entirety of the periods presented (from January 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023). As of December 31, 2022, our same property portfolio consisted of 148 in-service properties encompassing 24.4 million rentable square feet that were wholly owned during the entirety of the periods presented (from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022). The change in our same property portfolio was due to the addition of seven acquired properties encompassing 1.6 million rentable square feet acquired during 2021 and three newly developed properties encompassing 0.9 million rentable square feet placed in service during 2021, offset by the removal of three properties encompassing 0.3 million rentable square feet that were sold during 2023.
Rental and other revenues related to properties not in our same property portfolio were $6.3 million and $5.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $13.7 million and $10.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively. Rental property and other expenses related to properties not in our same property portfolio were $1.8 million and $2.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $4.4 million and $4.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The effects of potential changes in interest rates are discussed below. Our market risk discussion includes “forward-looking statements” and represents an estimate of possible changes in fair value or future earnings that would occur assuming hypothetical future movements in interest rates. Actual future results may differ materially from those presented. See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources” and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our accounting policies and other information related to these financial instruments.
We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility and bank term loans bear interest at variable rates. Our long-term debt, which consists of secured and unsecured long-term financings, typically bears interest at fixed rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit generally the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time we enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to existing and prospective debt instruments. We generally do not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
As of June 30, 2023, we had $2,474.1 million principal amount of fixed rate debt outstanding, a $196.5 million increase as compared to December 31, 2022. The estimated aggregate fair market value of this debt was $2,071.5 million. If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher, the aggregate fair market value of our fixed rate debt would have been $106.0 million lower. If interest rates had been 100 basis points lower, the aggregate fair market value of our fixed rate debt would have been $113.2 million higher.
As of June 30, 2023, we had $740.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding, a $196.0 million decrease as compared to December 31, 2022. If the weighted average interest rate on this variable rate debt had been 100 basis points higher or lower, the annual interest expense as of June 30, 2023 would increase or decrease by $7.4 million.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
SEC rules require us to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our annual and periodic reports filed with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’s CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Operating Partnership were each effective as of June 30, 2023.
SEC rules also require us to establish and maintain internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There were also no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2023 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the information below and under the heading “Business - Risk Factors” set forth in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Adverse market and economic conditions may result in lower occupancy and rental rates for our portfolio and/or cause us to record impairment charges, which would adversely affect our results of operations.
Our operating results depend heavily on successfully leasing and operating the office space in our portfolio. Economic growth and office employment levels in our core markets are important factors, among others, in predicting our future operating results.
The key components affecting our rental and other revenues are average occupancy, rental rates, cost recovery income, new developments placed in service, acquisitions and dispositions. Average occupancy generally increases during times of improving economic growth, as our ability to lease space outpaces vacancies that occur upon the expirations of existing leases. Average occupancy generally declines during times of slower or negative economic growth, when new vacancies tend to outpace our ability to lease space. In addition, the timing of changes in occupancy levels tends to lag the timing of changes in overall economic activity and employment levels. Occupancy in our office portfolio decreased from 91.0% as of December 31, 2022 to 88.9% as of June 30, 2023. Average occupancy in future periods will be lower, perhaps significantly lower, if potential changes in customer behavior, such as the continued social acceptance, desirability and perceived economic benefits of work-from-home arrangements, result in reduced future demand for office space over the long-term. For additional information regarding our average occupancy and rental rate trends over the past five years, see “Item 2. Properties” in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Lower rental revenues that result from lower average occupancy or lower rental rates with respect to our same property portfolio will adversely affect our results of operations unless offset by the impact of any newly acquired or developed properties or lower variable operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and/or interest expense.
In addition, prolonged market uncertainty and sustained economic downturns increase the likelihood that we will have to recognize a non-cash impairment in the value of our properties. Impairment charges adversely affect our results of operations. We record impairments of our real estate assets classified as held for use when the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the sum of its undiscounted future operating and residual cash flows at the difference between estimated fair value of the asset and the carrying amount. With respect to assets classified as held for use, we perform an impairment analysis if our evaluation of events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable, such as a significant decline in occupancy, identification of materially adverse legal or environmental factors, change in our designation of an asset from core to non-core, which may impact the anticipated holding period, or a decline in market value to an amount less than cost. This analysis consists of determining whether the asset’s carrying amount will be recovered from its undiscounted estimated future operating and residual cash flows. These cash flows are estimated based on a number of assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, competition for customers, changes in market rental rates, costs to operate each property and estimated hold periods. Changes in any of these inputs, such as decreases in projected cash flows, increases in estimated capitalization rates or shortened hold periods for any reason such as positive or negative shifts in the commercial real estate sales market or anticipated changes in use, would increase the likelihood of an impairment being recorded with respect to any particular asset.
