ATLANTA, July 28, 2021--Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc.

Highlights for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2021:
Financial Results:
•The Company reported net income applicable to common stockholders of $9.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $192.4 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2020 with the prior year's second quarter reflecting a $191.4 million gain on the sale of 1901 Market Street,
•Piedmont reported Core Funds From Operations of $60.4 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as compared to $61.6 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
•Piedmont reported an approximately 5% increase in Same Store Net Operating Income, on both a cash basis and accrual basis, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2020.
Leasing:
•The Company completed over 664,000 square feet of leasing, including approximately 154,000 square feet of new tenant leasing, as well as a 5-year, 313,000 square foot renewal with the City of New York at 60 Broad Street.
•Piedmont reported a 27.4% and a 18.2% roll up in accrual and cash basis rents, respectively, based on leases executed during the quarter ended June 30, 2021 for space vacant one year or less.
•Occupancy remained relatively flat, ending the downward pressure caused by reduced leasing activity during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Capital Markets:
•Entered into a binding contract to sell 225 & 235 Presidential Way in Woburn, MA for $129.0 million, or $293 per square foot, to an investment-grade buyer. The sale is expected to close near the end of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
Balance Sheet:
•The Company repaid its last remaining secured debt during the second quarter of 2021, a $35 million fixed rate mortgage. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had no collateralized real estate assets.
•The Company's average net debt-to-Core EBITDA ratio as of June 30, 2021 was 5.7 x.
•The Company's Debt-to-Gross Assets ratio was 34.6% as of June 30, 2021.
•As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately $424 million of available capacity on its $500 million line of credit.
ESG:
•The Company published its Environmental, Social, and Governance ("ESG"") Annual Report which incorporates all Sustainability Accounting Standards Board ("SASB") metrics and aligns with Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosure ("TCFD") disclosure and is available on Piedmont's website, www.piedmontreit.com, under the ESG tab.
•Reductions in water usage, power consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and improved waste management resulted in Piedmont being named an ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for 2021.
Brent Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are very pleased with our second quarter results - with solid financial metrics, strong leasing momentum reflecting attractive economics, and a binding contract for the strategic sale of two recently renewed, 100%-leased assets. We are particularly encouraged by our leasing results which included extending one or our largest tenants, the City of New York, for five years, as well as signing over 150,000 square feet of new tenant leasing. Additionally, we believe the current pipeline indicates continued momentum into the fall as tenant prospects continue to demand vibrant and active office environments such as ours."
Results for the Quarter ended June 30, 2021
Piedmont recognized net income applicable to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $9.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to $192.4 million, or $1.52 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The second quarter of 2020 included a $191.4 million gain on sale of real estate asset and a $9.3 million loss on early extinguishment of debt associated with the sale of 1901 Market Street in Philadelphia, PA and resulting repayment of the $160 million mortgage associated with the property.
Funds From Operations ("FFO") which removes the impact of the gain on sale of real estate asset mentioned above, as well as depreciation and amortization, was $60.4 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to $52.3 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 with the second quarter of 2020 including the $9.3 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, loss on early extinguishment of debt mentioned above.
Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO"), which removes the loss on early extinguishment of debt mentioned above, as well as the same items enumerated in calculating FFO was $60.4 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared with $61.6 million, or $0.49 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Total revenues were $130.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, compared to $134.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, with the second quarter of 2021 primarily reflecting the impact of disposition activity that occurred during 2020 and comparatively lower overall portfolio occupancy resulting from reduced leasing activity during the pandemic.
Property operating costs were $51.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared with $53.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, reflecting the impact of disposition activity that occurred during 2020.
General and administrative expense was $8.2 million for the first quarter of 2021, as compared to $5.9 million for the same period in 2020, with the three months ended June 30, 2020 primarily reflecting reduced accruals for potential performance based compensation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Leasing Update
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, Piedmont completed approximately 664,000 square feet of leasing, which was widely dispersed across its portfolio, including approximately 154,000 square feet of new tenant leasing. The weighted average lease term for leases executed during the second quarter was 5.8 years with the largest lease completed during the second quarter being a 5-year renewal of the City of New York's 313,000 square foot lease at 60 Broad Street in New York. Other significant leasing highlights during the quarter included the following:
•In Atlanta: Greensky, LLC and Campbell & Brannon, LLC renewed 51,000 square feet and 11,000 square feet, respectively at Glenridge Highlands Two; Balfour Beatty Construction, LLC signed a new tenant lease for approximately 12,000 square feet at Galleria 300.
•In Orlando: AssuredPartners, Inc. signed a new tenant lease for approximately 44,000 square feet, and Valley National Bank signed a renewal and expansion totaling approximately 11,000 square feet at CNL Center I.
•In Dallas: Dairy Farmers of America, Inc. signed a new tenant lease for approximately 44,000 square feet at One Lincoln Park, and Alcority Capital LLC renewed approximately 10,000 square feet at 6565 North MacArthur Boulevard.
Leases executed during the second quarter of 2021 for recently occupied space reflected a 27.4% and 18.2% roll up in accrual and cash rents, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the Company's reported leased percentage and weighted average remaining lease term were approximately 86% and 6.1 years, respectively.
Same Store Net Operating Income ("Same Store NOI") increased 4.8% and 4.7% on a cash and accrual basis, respectively, for the quarter ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2020 with both increases primarily attributable to the burn off of rental abatements at certain properties. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had approximately 613,000 square feet of executed leases for vacant space yet to commence or under rental abatement.
Further details outlining Piedmont's largest upcoming lease commencements and expirations, the status of certain major leasing activity and a schedule of the largest lease abatements can be found in the Company's quarterly supplemental information package available at www.piedmontreit.com.

The transaction is expected to close near the end of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repaid its only remaining secured debt, a $35 million fixed rate mortgage, previously secured by 5 Wall Street in Burlington, MA.

Guidance for 2021
The following financial guidance for calendar year 2021 has been raised to the upper end of our previously published range (which was $1.86 to $1.96) and is based upon management's assumptions, estimates and expectations at this time. Further, the Company is raising its expectation of Same Store NOI - cash basis growth from the previously provided 3-5% range to the 5-7% range. Our projections for 2021 include the assumption of a gradual ramping up of business over the year with a return to a more typical state of
operations during the second half of 2021. This financial guidance does not include the effects of any potential acquisition or disposition activity that may be completed during the year.

The above financial guidance is based on information available to management as of the date of this release and does not include the effects of any potential acquisition or disposition activity that may be completed during the year. These estimates reflect management's view of current market conditions and incorporate certain economic and operational assumptions and projections, including those related to the pace and strength of the ongoing economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates based on a variety of factors as discussed under "Forward-Looking Statements" below.
Note that individual quarters may fluctuate on both a cash basis and an accrual basis due to the timing of the business recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, the timing of lease commencements and expirations, abatement periods, repairs and maintenance expenses, capital expenditures, capital markets activities, seasonal general and administrative expenses, accrued potential performance-based compensation expenses, and one-time revenue or expense events.
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 June 30, 2021 contain certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including FFO, Core FFO, AFFO, Same Store NOI (cash and accrual basis), Property NOI (cash and accrual basis), EBITDAre, and Core EBITDA. Definitions and reconciliations of each of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP metrics are included below and in the accompanying quarterly supplemental information.
Each of the non-GAAP measures included in this release and the accompanying quarterly supplemental financial information has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company’s results calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of non-GAAP measures in this release and the accompanying quarterly supplemental information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies, including other REITs. The Company may also change the calculation of any of the non-GAAP measures included in this news release and the accompanying supplemental financial information from time to time in light of its then existing operations.

*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 (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investment in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity, along with appropriate adjustments to those reconciling items for 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 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 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 joint ventures. AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that AFFO is helpful to investors as a meaningful supplemental comparative performance measure of our ability to make incremental capital investments. Other REITs may not define AFFO in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of AFFO may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
EBITDAre: The Company calculates EBITDAre in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines EBITDAre as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) adjusted for gains or losses from sales of property, impairment losses, depreciation on real estate assets, amortization on real estate assets, interest expense and taxes, along with the same adjustments for joint ventures. Some of the adjustments mentioned can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates. EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it provides a metric for understanding the Company’s results from ongoing operations without taking into account the effects of non-cash expenses (such as depreciation and amortization) and capitalization and capital structure expenses (such as interest expense and taxes). The Company also believes that EBITDAre can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and with other REITs. However, other REITs may not define EBITDAre in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of EBITDAre may not be comparable to that of such other REITs.
Core EBITDA: The Company calculates Core EBITDA as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and incrementally removing any impairment losses, gains or losses from sales of property and other significant infrequent items that create volatility within our earnings and make it difficult to determine the earnings generated by our core ongoing business. Core EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Core EBITDA is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it provides a metric for understanding the performance of the Company’s results from ongoing operations without taking into account the effects of non-cash expenses (such as depreciation and amortization), as well as items that are not part of normal day-to-day operations of the Company’s business. Other REITs may not define Core EBITDA in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Core EBITDA may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
Property Net Operating Income ("Property NOI"): The Company calculates Property NOI by starting with Core EBITDA and adjusting for general and administrative expense, income associated with property management performed by Piedmont for other organizations and other income or expense items for the Company, such as interest income from loan investments or costs from the pursuit of non-consummated transactions. The Company may present this measure on an accrual basis or a cash basis. When presented on a cash basis, the effects of straight lined rents and fair value lease revenue are also eliminated. Property NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Property NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental comparative performance measure of income generated by its properties alone without the administrative overhead of the Company. Other REITs may not define Property NOI in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Property NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.
Same Store Net Operating Income ("Same Store NOI"): The Company calculates Same Store NOI as Property NOI attributable to the properties for which the following criteria were met during the entire span of the current and prior year reporting periods: (i) they were owned, (ii) they were not under development / redevelopment, and (iii) none of the operating expenses for which were capitalized. Same Store NOI also excludes amounts attributable to 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.
