Piedmont Office Realty Trust Reports Fourth Quarter and Annual 2016 Results
ATLANTA, February 8, 2017 --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 U.S. office markets, today announced its results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016.
Highlights for the Three Months and Year Ended December 31, 2016:
• | Reported Net Income Applicable to Common Stockholders of $0.21 and $0.74 per diluted share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016, respectively; |
• | Achieved Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") of $0.44 and $1.67 per diluted share for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2016, respectively; |
• | Completed approximately 400,000 square feet of leasing during the fourth quarter, over half of which related to new tenants, bringing total leasing for the year to over two million square feet and year-end leased percentage to 94.2%; |
• | Disposed of nine non-core assets during the year, including two in the fourth quarter, which generated approximately $332 million in gross sales proceeds; and |
• | Using proceeds from the dispositions above, completed four acquisition transactions during the year, including two in the fourth quarter, in the Company's targeted office sub-markets. |
Commenting on 2016 results, Donald A. Miller, CFA, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased with our 2016 results from all perspectives - financial, leasing and transactional. Although net income declined due to the large gain on the sale of Aon Center last year, the fact that we are reporting approximately 4% growth in Core FFO per share, despite having been a net seller of significant assets over the last two years, is a testament to the hard work of both our leasing and transactional teams. Given a relatively low expiration schedule, the completion of two million square feet of leasing during 2016 resulted in positive net absorption for the portfolio and, combined with our net transactional activity for the year, allowed us to end the year over 94% leased.”
Results for the Quarter ended December 31, 2016
Piedmont recognized net income applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended December 31, 2016 of $30.2 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, as compared with $125.6 million, or $0.84 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2015. The three months ended December 31, 2016 included $19.7 million in gains on sale of real estate assets, whereas the fourth quarter of 2015 included $114.4 million of such gains, primarily due to the sale of our then-largest asset, Aon Center.
Funds From Operations ("FFO"), which removes the impact of the gains on sales noted above, as well as depreciation and amortization, and Core FFO, which further removes the impact of acquisition expenses,
gain/loss on settlement of swaps, and net loss from casualty events, were both $0.44 per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2016, as compared with $0.41 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2015.
Revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2016 were $143.9 million, as compared to $139.5 million for the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to net transactional activity, new leases commencing, and overall occupancy gains over the last twelve months.
Property operating costs increased from $54.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015 to $57.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, primarily due to the asset acquisitions and occupancy gains mentioned above, partially offset by properties sold.
General and administrative expense was $5.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, compared to $7.6 million for the same period in 2015, primarily as a result of decreased accruals for potential stock based compensation expense during the current period. Interest expense decreased $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015 due to a lower average outstanding debt balance in the current quarter.
Results for the Year ended December 31, 2016
Piedmont recognized net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2016 of $107.9 million, or $0.74 per diluted share, as compared to $173.0 million, or $1.15 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2015. The 2016 results included $98.6 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, in gain on sales of real estate assets, as compared to $168.2 million, or $1.12 per diluted share, of such gains in 2015.
FFO, which removes depreciation and amortization as well as gains on sale and impairment losses, was $1.67 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $1.59 for the year ended December 31, 2015, with the increase reflecting the commencement of several significant leases, the expiration of various operating expense abatement periods, the impact of net transactional acquisition activity during 2016 and 2015, and a reduction in interest expense as a result of lower average outstanding debt during 2016.
Core FFO, which further removes net losses and recoveries from casualty events, gain/loss on settlement of swaps, and acquisition expenses, was $1.67 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $1.60 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2015 for the same reasons mentioned above.
Revenues for the year ended December 31, 2016 were $555.7 million, as compared with $584.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, with the decrease primarily attributable to the sale of eighteen office properties since January 1, 2015, including the sale of our then-largest asset, Aon Center, in the fourth quarter of 2015. The decrease in revenues due to the sale of assets was partially offset by the acquisition of nine office properties and the commencement of several significant new leases over the same time period.
Property operating costs decreased $23.1 million from $242.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2015 to $218.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, primarily as a result of the net transactional activity mentioned above.
General and administrative expenses were $29.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, as compared to $30.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, with the decrease being primarily attributable to decreased accruals for potential stock based compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2016.
In addition, net income available to common stockholders per share, FFO per diluted share and Core FFO per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2016 were all favorably impacted by an approximately 5 million share decrease in our weighted average shares outstanding as a result of shares repurchased pursuant to our stock repurchase program over the last two years.
Leasing Update
The Company's leasing volume for the quarter ended December 31, 2016 totaled approximately 400,000 square feet, bringing the total leasing volume for the year to over two million square feet and the Company's year end leased percentage to 94.2%, up 270 basis points from 91.5% a year ago. Leasing highlights for the fourth quarter of 2016 included: an approximately 97,000 square foot, 10-year lease expansion and extension with Children's Hospital Los Angeles at 800 North Brand Boulevard in Glendale, CA; and an approximately 65,000 square foot, 10+ year new lease with one of the nation's leading cable and broadband communications companies at 8560 Upland Drive in Englewood, CO.
Weighted average lease term was approximately 6.9 years as of December 31, 2016. Same Store NOI (cash basis) was $272.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, up 4.8% compared to the prior year. Details outlining Piedmont's significant upcoming lease expirations, the status of current leasing activity, and a schedule of significant near-term abatement periods can be found in the Company's quarterly supplemental information package available at www.piedmontreit.com.
Transactional Activity
During the three months ended December 31, 2016, Piedmont sold 11695 Johns Creek Parkway, its approximately 100,000 square foot, 4-story office headquarters building located in Johns Creek, GA for $14.0 million, and Braker Pointe III, a 7-story, office building totaling approximately 196,000 square feet located in Austin, TX, for $49.3 million. The sale of Braker Pointe III completed Piedmont's exit from the Austin, TX market.
Piedmont recycled the proceeds from the Braker Pointe III sale into the purchase of 750 W. John Carpenter Freeway in Irving, TX for $49.6 million. The approximately 315,000 square foot, Class A, office building was constructed in 1999 and is 78% leased to CVS Health and IBM, with an average lease term remaining of six years. Piedmont also purchased an adjoining, developable land parcel of 3.5 acres for $1.0 million.
Also, as previously announced, early in the fourth quarter Piedmont acquired Galleria 200, an 89% leased, multi-tenant, 20-story, approximately 432,000 square-foot, office building situated on 4.9 acres within Atlanta's master-planned "Galleria" development located directly across the interstate from the new Atlanta Braves stadium, SunTrust Park, for $69.6 million. The acquisition of Galleria 200 complements Piedmont's fourth quarter 2015 acquisition of the adjacent property, Galleria 300, in the same office park.
Subsequent Event
Subsequent to quarter end, Piedmont entered into a binding contract with limited contingencies to sell Two Independence Square, its 600,000 square foot, 9-story, office building located in the Southwest submarket
of Washington, D.C. and 100% leased to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for $359.6 million ($593 per square foot). The transaction is expected to close during the first half of 2017.
First Quarter 2017 Dividend Declaration
On February 8, 2017, the board of directors of Piedmont declared dividends for the first quarter of 2017 in the amount of $0.21 per share on its common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 24, 2017, payable on March 17, 2017.

Net Income | $105 | - | $213 | ||
Add: | |||||

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, including those 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, and one-time revenue or expense events. In addition, the Company's guidance is based on information available to management as of the date of this release.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this release and the accompanying quarterly supplemental information as of and for the period ended December 31, 2016 contain certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including FFO, Core FFO, AFFO, Same Store NOI (cash basis), Property NOI (cash basis) 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 to include other adjustments that may affect its operations.

*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 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 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. |

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 owned and not under development / redevelopment during the entire span of the current and prior year reporting periods. 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.
