Piedmont Office Realty Trust Reports Third Quarter 2021 Results and Raises Guidance

ATLANTA, October 27, 2021--Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. ("Piedmont" or the "Company") (NYSE:PDM), an owner of Class A office properties located primarily in seven major Eastern U.S. markets with a majority of its revenue being generated from the Sunbelt, today announced its results for the quarter ended September 30, 2021.

Highlights for the Quarter Ended September 30, 2021:

Financial Results:

•The Company reported net income applicable to Piedmont of $11.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $8.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

•Piedmont reported Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") of $62.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as compared to $60.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

•Piedmont reported an 12% and 5% increase in Same Store Net Operating Income ("Same Store NOI") on a cash and accrual basis, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

•The Company has raised and narrowed its 2021 financial guidance to a range of $1.95 to $1.98 per diluted share of Core FFO, as compared to its previously announced range of $1.90 to $1.96 per diluted share of Core FFO.

Leasing:

•The Company completed approximately 509,000 square feet of leasing across all of its major markets, including approximately 221,000 square feet of new tenant leasing.

•Piedmont reported an approximately 11% and 16% roll up in cash and accrual basis rents, respectively, based on leases executed during the quarter ended September 30, 2021 for space vacant one year or less.

•The Company's reported average lease size was approximately 15,000 square feet and the portfolio was approximately 86% leased as of September 30, 2021.

Capital Markets (Including Subsequent Event):

•As previously announced, the Company is under 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 in early 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.

•On October 22, 2021, Piedmont acquired 999 Peachtree Street, a 622,000 square foot, approximately 77% leased, LEED Platinum, 28-story, office building located in Atlanta, GA for $223.9 million, or $360 psf.

•After the completion of both of the above transactions, approximately 55% of the Company's Annualized Lease Revenue will be generated from the Sunbelt.

Balance Sheet:

•The Company issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Senior Notes due 2032 and used the proceeds to repay, without penalty, its Amended and Restated $300 million Unsecured 2011 Term Loan that was scheduled to mature in November of 2021.

•The Company's average net debt-to-Core EBITDA ratio as of September 30, 2021 was 5.5 x.

•The Company's Debt-to-Gross Assets ratio was 34.4% as of September 30, 2021.

ESG and Operations:

•Piedmont's entire approximately 17 million square foot portfolio has been submitted to the International WELL Building Institute ("IWBI") for WELL Health-Safety Rating.

•All three of the Dallas Galleria Office Towers obtained Building Owners and Managers Association ("BOMA") 360 Designations.

•Three buildings won regional The Outstanding Building of the Year ("TOBY") awards.

•Piedmont awarded scholarships to two students, one at Howard University in Washington, D.C. and the other at Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA.

•Piedmont was recognized by the Make-a-Wish Georgia chapter for outstanding community involvement through its 2020 annual Make-a-Wish grant.

Commenting on third quarter results, Brent Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "In addition to reporting strong financial metrics for the quarter, we also made progress on a number of strategic objectives including a sizeable debt refinancing, major capital recycling transaction, and numerous ESG initiatives. Perhaps most encouraging to our business was that new tenant leasing returned to pre-pandemic levels, demonstrating both optimism around the office sector’s recovery and the resiliency of our portfolio." Smith added, "Furthermore, we are extremely excited to announce our acquisition and vision for 999 Peachtree Street, an iconic building located in the heart of midtown Atlanta. This LEED Platinum building provides Piedmont with a foothold in one of the most vibrant, active submarkets in the country at an attractive basis and with immediate scale. We look forward to revitalizing the asset and driving income growth by providing a unique, differentiated product with outdoor amenities that are unmatched in the submarket today."

Results for the Quarter ended September 30, 2021

Piedmont recognized net income applicable to Piedmont for the three months ended September 30, 2021 of $11.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $8.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, with the $0.02 per share increase primarily attributable to rising rental rates, decreased operating expenses, particularly related to our landlord's portion of real estate taxes, as well as the expiration of operating expense recovery abatements on certain leases. These improvements were partially offset by a 0.9% reduction in our overall leased percentage on a year-to-date basis as a result of reduced new leasing activity in 2020 and the first half of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

FFO and Core FFO, which remove the impact of gains and losses on sales of real estate assets, as well as depreciation and amortization, were both $62.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the three months

ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $60.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The $0.02 per share increase in both metrics was primarily attributable to the same factors noted in net income above.

Total revenues were $131.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $131.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, with the loss of revenue related to 2020 disposition activity generally being offset by higher rental rates and reimbursement and other income at certain properties in 2021.

Property operating costs were $51.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared with $53.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, with the decrease primarily related to lower real estate taxes at certain properties, as well as the impact of disposition activity that occurred during 2020.

General and administrative expense was $7.0 million for the third quarter of 2021, as compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2020, with the three months ended September 30, 2020 primarily reflecting reduced accruals during 2020 for potential performance based compensation tied to operating results, particularly leasing, which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leasing Update

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, Piedmont completed approximately 509,000 square feet of leasing, which was widely dispersed throughout the portfolio and included approximately 221,000 square feet of new tenant leasing. The weighted average lease term for the approximately 50 leases executed during the third quarter was 6.4 years with the largest lease completed during the third quarter being a 10-year renewal and expansion totaling approximately 155,000 square feet at 5&15 Wayside in Burlington, MA. No other individual lease executed during the quarter was as large as 25,000 square feet.

Leases executed during the third quarter of 2021 for recently occupied space reflected a 10.5% and 16.1% roll up in cash and accrual rents, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the Company's reported leased percentage and weighted average remaining lease term were approximately 86% and 6.1 years, respectively.

Same Store NOI increased 11.6% and 5.0% on a cash and accrual basis, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020, with the increase in both metrics primarily attributable to rising rental rates and decreased operating expenses, particularly property taxes, as well as the expiration of abatements at certain properties, partially offset by lower overall occupancy (0.9% year-to-date) due to slow leasing in 2020 and the first half of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately 770,000 square feet of executed leases for vacant space yet to commence or under rental abatement.

Financing and Transactional Activity

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Senior Notes due 2032 and used the proceeds to repay its Amended and Restated $300 million Unsecured 2011 Term Loan that was scheduled to mature in November of 2021.

As previously announced, the Company is under binding contract to sell 225 and 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 in early 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.

Subsequent to quarter end, on October 22, 2021, Piedmont acquired 999 Peachtree Street, a 622,000 square foot, approximately 77% leased, LEED-Platinum, 28-story, office building located in Atlanta, GA for $223.9 million, or $360 psf. Located at the corner of Peachtree and 10th Streets in the heart of Midtown, the property offers spectacular views of the Midtown skyline and nearby Piedmont Park. Superior accessibility to the interstate, MARTA (commuter rail system) and the Midtown/ Beltline bike path, along with premier amenities and close proximity to Georgia Tech and more than 30,000 residents within a 1-mile radius, make 999 Peachtree Street a compelling location for prospective tenants. The acquisition marks Piedmont's entry into Midtown Atlanta, one of the most vibrant, active submarkets in the country. Piedmont plans an exciting redevelopment project to revitalize the asset and deliver a premiere tenant experience.

ESG and Other Operational Initiatives

In addition to Piedmont's Atlanta Galleria assets that have already received a WELL Health-Safety rating, the remainder of Piedmont's entire approximately 17 million square foot portfolio has been submitted to the IWBI for WELL Health-Safety Rating. The WELL Health-Safety Rating is an evidence-based, third-party verified rating for all new and existing building and facility types focused on operational policies, maintenance protocols, occupant engagement and emergency plans to prioritize the health and safety of their staff, visitors and stakeholders during the COVID-19 crisis and for the long-term.

All three of the Company's Dallas Galleria Office Towers obtained BOMA 360 Designations during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Consequently, approximately 90% of the Company's portfolio is now designated as BOMA 360. In addition, three buildings - 5 Wall Street in Boston, MA and Norman Pointe I and US Bancorp Center, both in Minneapolis, MN - won regional TOBY awards.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, Piedmont awarded scholarships to two students, one at Howard University in Washington, D.C. and the other at Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. The scholarships were awarded pursuant to the Piedmont Office Realty Trust Scholarship Program, whereby Piedmont has partnered with two Historically Black Colleges and Universities to provide need-based, scholastic support to selected rising sophomores interested in pursuing a career related to the real estate industry along with the opportunity to join Piedmont in a summer internship position.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Dividend Declaration

On October 27, 2021, the board of directors of Piedmont declared a dividend for the fourth quarter of 2021 in the amount of $0.21 per share on its common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 26, 2021, payable on January 4, 2022.

Guidance for 2021

The Company has raised and narrowed its 2021 financial guidance for calendar year 2021 to a range of $1.95 to $1.98 per diluted share of Core FFO, as compared to its previously announced range of $1.90 to $1.96 per diluted share of Core FFO. This guidance is based upon management's assumptions, estimates and expectations based on information available to management as of the date of this release. These estimates reflect year-to-date operating and leasing results, as well as 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. They also include the effect of the acquisition of 999 Peachtree Street, but no other acquisition or disposition activity that may be completed during the year. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates based on a variety of factors as discussed under "Forward-Looking Statements" below.

(in millions, except per share data)	Low	High
Net Income	$40	$41
Add:
Depreciation	119	121
Amortization	84	85
NAREIT FFO and Core FFO applicable to common stock	$243	$247
NAREIT FFO and Core FFO per diluted share	$1.95	$1.98

Note that individual quarters may fluctuate on both a cash basis and an accrual basis due to the timing of lease commencements and expirations, abatement periods, repairs and maintenance 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 September 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.

Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of the Company`s performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "continue" or similar words or phrases that are predictions of future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Examples of such statements in this press release include: whether approximately 55% of the Company's Annualized Lease Revenue will be generated from the Sunbelt after completion of the acquisition of 999 Peachtree Street and the disposition of 225 and 235 Presidential Way; whether the Company will revitalize 999 Peachtree Street and drive income growth by providing a unique, differentiated product with outdoor amenities that are unmatched in the Midtown Atlanta submarket today; the expected timing of dispositions; and the Company's estimated range of Net Income, Depreciation, Amortization, NAREIT FFO/Core FFO and NAREIT FFO/Core FFO per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2021.

investment objectives, including our ability to identify and consummate suitable acquisitions and divestitures; the illiquidity of real estate investments, including regulatory restrictions to which REITs are subject and the resulting impediment on our ability to quickly respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties; the risks and uncertainties associated with our acquisition and disposition of properties, many of which risks and uncertainties may not be known at the time of acquisition or disposition; development and construction delays and resultant increased costs and risks; our real estate development strategies may not be successful; future acts of terrorism, civil unrest, or armed hostilities in any of the major metropolitan areas in which we own properties, or future cybersecurity attacks against any of our tenants; risks related to the occurrence of cyber incidents, or a deficiency in our cybersecurity, which could negatively impact our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information, and/or damage to our business relationships; costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations; uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance coverage, and our inability to obtain adequate insurance coverage at a reasonable cost; additional risks and costs associated with directly managing properties occupied by government tenants, including an increased risk of default by government tenants during periods in which state or federal governments are shut down or on furlough; significant price and volume fluctuations in the public markets, including on the exchange which we listed our common stock; changes in interest rates and changes in the method pursuant to which the LIBOR rates are determined and the planned phasing out of USD LIBOR after June 2023; high interest rates which could affect our ability to finance or refinance properties; the effect of future offerings of debt or equity securities or changes in market interest rates on the value of our common stock; uncertainties associated with environmental and other regulatory matters; potential changes in the political environment and reduction in federal and/or state funding of our governmental tenants; changes in the financial condition of our tenants directly or indirectly resulting from geopolitical developments that could negatively affect international trade, the termination or threatened termination of existing international trade agreements, or the implementation of tariffs or retaliatory tariffs on imported or exported goods; the effect of any litigation to which we are, or may become, subject; additional risks and costs associated with owning properties occupied by tenants in particular industries, such as oil and gas, hospitality, travel, co-working, etc., including risks of default during start-up and during economic downturns; changes in tax laws impacting REITs and real estate in general, as well as our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or other tax law changes which may adversely affect our stockholders; the future effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures; actual or threatened public health epidemics or outbreaks, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and governmental and private measures taken to combat such health crises, which may affect our personnel, tenants, tenants' operations and ability to pay lease obligations, demand for office space, and the costs of operating our assets; the adequacy of our general reserve related to tenant lease-related assets established as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact of any increase in this reserve or the establishment of any other reserve in the future; and other factors, including the risk factors discussed under Item 1A. of Piedmont’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

*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.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation. In addition, many of the schedules herein contain rounding to the nearest thousands or millions and, therefore, the schedules may not total due to this rounding convention.

To supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this report contains certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including FFO, Core FFO, AFFO, Same Store NOI, Property NOI, EBITDAre and Core EBITDA. Definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP metrics are included beginning on page36. Each of the non-GAAP measures included in this report has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of the Company’s results calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because not all companies use identical calculations, the Company’s presentation of non-GAAP measures in this report may not be comparable to similarly titled measures disclosed by other companies, including other REITs. The Company may also change the calculation of any of the non-GAAP measures included in this report from time to time in light of its then existing operations.

Commenting on third quarter results, Brent Smith, President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "In addition to reporting strong financial metrics for the quarter, we also made progress on a number of strategic objectives including a sizeable debt refinancing, major capital recycling transaction, and numerous ESG initiatives. Perhaps most encouraging to our business was that new tenant leasing returned to pre-pandemic levels, demonstrating both optimism around the office sector’s recovery and the resiliency of our portfolio." Smith added, "Furthermore, we are extremely excited to announce our acquisition and vision for 999 Peachtree Street, an iconic building located in the heart of midtown Atlanta. This LEED Platinum building provides Piedmont with a foothold in one of the most vibrant, active submarkets in the country at an attractive basis and with immediate scale. We look forward to revitalizing the asset and driving income growth by providing a unique, differentiated product with outdoor amenities that are unmatched in the submarket today."

Results for the Quarter ended September 30, 2021

Piedmont recognized net income applicable to Piedmont for the three months ended September 30, 2021 of $11.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $8.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020, with the $0.02 per share increase primarily attributable to rising rental rates, decreased operating expenses, particularly related to our landlord's portion of real estate taxes, as well as the expiration of operating expense recovery abatements on certain leases. These improvements were partially offset by a 0.9% reduction in our overall leased percentage on a year-to-date basis as a result of reduced new leasing activity in 2020 and the first half of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

FFO and Core FFO, which remove the impact of gains and losses on sales of real estate assets, as well as depreciation and amortization, were both $62.0 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to $60.2 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, for the three months ended September 30, 2020. The $0.02 per share increase in both metrics was primarily attributable to the same factors noted in net income above.

Total revenues were $131.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to $131.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, with the loss of revenue related to 2020 disposition activity generally being offset by higher rental rates and reimbursement and other income at certain properties in 2021.

Property operating costs were $51.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as compared with $53.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020, with the decrease primarily related to lower real estate taxes at certain properties, as well as the impact of disposition activity that occurred during 2020.

General and administrative expense was $7.0 million for the third quarter of 2021, as compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2020, with the three months ended September 30, 2020 primarily reflecting reduced accruals during 2020 for potential performance based compensation tied to operating results, particularly leasing, which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Leasing Update

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, Piedmont completed approximately 509,000 square feet of leasing, which was widely dispersed throughout the portfolio and included approximately 221,000 square feet of new tenant leasing. The weighted average lease term for the approximately 50 leases executed during the third quarter was 6.4 years with the largest lease completed during the third quarter being a 10-year renewal and expansion totaling approximately 155,000 square feet at 5&15 Wayside in Burlington, MA. No other individual lease executed during the quarter was as large as 25,000 square feet.

Leases executed during the third quarter of 2021 for recently occupied space reflected a 10.5% and 16.1% roll up in cash and accrual rents, respectively. As of September 30, 2021, the Company's reported leased percentage and weighted average remaining lease term were approximately 86% and 6.1 years, respectively.

Same Store NOI increased 11.6% and 5.0% on a cash and accrual basis, respectively, for the quarter ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the quarter ended September 30, 2020, with the increase in both metrics primarily attributable to rising rental rates and decreased operating expenses, particularly property taxes, as well as the expiration of abatements at certain properties, partially offset by lower overall occupancy (0.9% year-to-date) due to slow leasing in 2020 and the first half of 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2021, the Company had approximately 770,000 square feet of executed leases for vacant space yet to commence or under rental abatement.

Financing and Transactional Activity

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, the Company issued $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 2.75% Senior Notes due 2032 and used the proceeds to repay its Amended and Restated $300 million Unsecured 2011 Term Loan that was scheduled to mature in November of 2021.

As previously announced, the Company is under binding contract to sell 225 and 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 in early 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.

Subsequent to quarter end, on October 22, 2021, Piedmont acquired 999 Peachtree Street, a 622,000 square foot, approximately 77% leased, LEED-Platinum, 28-story, office building located in Atlanta, GA for $223.9 million, or $360 psf. Located at the corner of Peachtree and 10th Streets in the heart of Midtown, the property offers spectacular views of the Midtown skyline and nearby Piedmont Park. Superior accessibility to the interstate, MARTA (commuter rail system) and the Midtown/ Beltline bike path, along with premier amenities and close proximity to Georgia Tech and more than 30,000 residents within a 1-mile radius, make 999 Peachtree Street a compelling location for prospective tenants. The acquisition marks Piedmont's entry into Midtown Atlanta, one of the most vibrant, active submarkets in the country. Piedmont plans an exciting redevelopment project to revitalize the asset and deliver a premiere tenant experience.

ESG and Other Operational Initiatives

In addition to Piedmont's Atlanta Galleria assets that have already received a WELL Health-Safety rating, the remainder of Piedmont's entire approximately 17 million square foot portfolio has been submitted to the IWBI for WELL Health-Safety Rating. The WELL Health-Safety Rating is an evidence-based, third-party verified rating for all new and existing building and facility types focused on operational policies, maintenance protocols, occupant engagement and emergency plans to prioritize the health and safety of their staff, visitors and stakeholders during the COVID-19 crisis and for the long-term.

All three of the Company's Dallas Galleria Office Towers obtained BOMA 360 Designations during the three months ended September 30, 2021. Consequently, approximately 90% of the Company's portfolio is now designated as BOMA 360. In addition, three buildings - 5 Wall Street in Boston, MA and Norman Pointe I and US Bancorp Center, both in Minneapolis, MN - won regional TOBY awards.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, Piedmont awarded scholarships to two students, one at Howard University in Washington, D.C. and the other at Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA. The scholarships were awarded pursuant to the Piedmont Office Realty Trust Scholarship Program, whereby Piedmont has partnered with two Historically Black Colleges and Universities to provide need-based, scholastic support to selected rising sophomores interested in pursuing a career related to the real estate industry along with the opportunity to join Piedmont in a summer internship position.

Fourth Quarter 2021 Dividend Declaration

On October 27, 2021, the board of directors of Piedmont declared a dividend for the fourth quarter of 2021 in the amount of $0.21 per share on its common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on November 26, 2021, payable on January 4, 2022.

Guidance for 2021

The Company has raised and narrowed its 2021 financial guidance for calendar year 2021 to a range of $1.95 to $1.98 per diluted share of Core FFO, as compared to its previously announced range of $1.90 to $1.96 per diluted share of Core FFO. This guidance is based upon management's assumptions, estimates and expectations based on information available to management as of the date of this release. These estimates reflect year-to-date operating and leasing results, as well as 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. They also include the effect of the acquisition of 999 Peachtree Street, but no other acquisition or disposition activity that may be completed during the year. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates based on a variety of factors as discussed on page 42.

(1)	Please refer to page 24 for additional leased percentage information.
(2)	Economic leased percentage excludes the square footage associated with executed but not commenced leases for currently vacant spaces and the square footage associated with tenants receiving rental abatements (after proportional adjustments for tenants receiving only partial rental abatements). Due to variations in rental abatement structures, there will be variability to the economic leased percentage over time as abatements commence and expire.
(3)	Dividends are reflected in the quarter in which the record date occurred.
(4)	Core EBITDA margin is calculated as Core EBITDA divided by total revenues.
(5)	The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated as Core EBITDA divided by the sum of interest expense, principal amortization, capitalized interest and preferred dividends. The Company had no preferred dividends during any of the periods presented; the Company had capitalized interest of $1,009,904 for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, $875,804 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, $812,649 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, $368,965 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and $236,290 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020; the Company had no principal amortization for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, as its last remaining amortizing loan was repaid during the second quarter of 2021; the Company had principal amortization of $187,087 for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, $185,368 for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, $365,644 for the quarter ended December 31, 2020, and $269,838 for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.
(6)	For the purposes of this calculation, we annualize the period's Core EBITDA and use the average daily balance of debt outstanding during the period, less cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits and restricted cash as of the end of the period.
(7)	Net debt is calculated as the total principal amount of debt outstanding minus cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits and restricted cash as of the end of the period.

(1)	The increase in cash rental income for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020 was primarily due to the burn off of significant rental abatements at several properties in the portfolio, including Enclave Place in Houston, TX.
(2)	The increase in tenant reimbursements for the three months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily the result of the expiration of an operating expense reimbursement abatement at Enclave Place in Houston, TX.
(3)	The decrease in straight line effects of lease revenue for the three months and the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same periods in 2020 was primarily due to the expiration of the rental abatement periods of several large new and renewal leases in the portfolio.
(4)	The decrease in other property related income for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 was primarily the result of pandemic-related decreased transient parking activity across the portfolio.

(4)	The interest rate presented for the $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility is the weighted average interest rate for all outstanding draws as of September 30, 2021. Piedmont may select from multiple interest rate options with each draw under the facility, including the prime rate and various length LIBOR locks. The all-in interest rate associated with each LIBOR interest period selection is comprised of the relevant base LIBOR interest rate plus a credit spread (0.90% as of September 30, 2021) based on Piedmont's then current credit rating.
(5)	The $400 million unsecured senior notes were offered for sale at 99.791% of the principal amount. The resulting effective cost of the financing is approximately 4.48% before the consideration of transaction costs and proceeds from interest rate hedges. After the application of proceeds from interest rate hedges, the effective cost of the financing is approximately 4.10%.
(6)	The $250 million unsecured term loan that closed in 2018 has a stated variable interest rate; however, Piedmont entered into $100 million in notional amount of seven-year interest rate swap agreements that effectively fixed the interest rate on $100 million of the term loan (at 3.56% as of September 30, 2021; this rate can change only with a credit rating change for the Company) through the loan's maturity date of March 31, 2025. For the portion of the loan that continues to have a variable interest rate, Piedmont may select from multiple interest rate options, including the prime rate and various length LIBOR locks. The all-in interest rate associated with each LIBOR interest period selection is comprised of the relevant base LIBOR interest rate plus a credit spread (0.95% as of September 30, 2021) based on Piedmont's then current credit rating.
(7)	The $300 million unsecured senior notes were offered for sale at 99.236% of the principal amount. The resulting effective cost of the financing is approximately 3.24% before the consideration of transaction costs and the impact of interest rate hedges. After incorporating the results of the related interest rate hedging activity, the effective cost of the financing is approximately 3.90%.
(8)	The $300 million unsecured senior notes were offered for sale at 99.510% of the principal amount. The resulting effective cost of the financing is approximately 2.80% before the consideration of transaction costs and the impact of interest rate hedges. After incorporating the results of the related interest rate hedging activity, the effective cost of the financing is approximately 2.78%.
(9)	Weighted average is based on the principal amounts outstanding and interest rates at September 30, 2021.
(10)	The GAAP accounting adjustments relate to original issue discounts, third-party fees, and lender fees resulting from the procurement processes for our various debt facilities. The original issue discounts and fees are amortized to interest expense over the contractual term of the related debt.

(1)	Bank debt covenant compliance calculations relate to specific calculations detailed in the relevant credit agreements.
(2)	Defined as EBITDA for the trailing four quarters (including the Company's share of EBITDA from unconsolidated interests), excluding one-time or non-recurring gains or losses, less a $0.15 per square foot capital reserve, and excluding the impact of straight line rent leveling adjustments and amortization of intangibles divided by the Company's share of fixed charges, as more particularly described in the credit agreements. This definition of fixed charge coverage ratio as prescribed by our credit agreements is different from the fixed charge coverage ratio definition employed elsewhere within this report.
(3)	Defined as net operating income for the trailing four quarters for unencumbered assets (including the Company's share of net operating income from partially-owned entities and subsidiaries that are deemed to be unencumbered) less a $0.15 per square foot capital reserve divided by the Company's share of interest expense associated with unsecured financings only, as more particularly described in the credit agreements.
(4)	Bond covenant compliance calculations relate to specific calculations prescribed in the relevant debt agreements. Please refer to the Indenture dated May 9, 2013, the Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture dated March 6, 2014, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated August 12, 2020, and the Third Supplemental Indenture dated September 20, 2021 for detailed information about the calculations.
(5)	For the purposes of this calculation, we use the average daily balance of debt outstanding during the identified period, less cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits and restricted cash as of the end of the period.
(6)	Fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated as Core EBITDA divided by the sum of interest expense, principal amortization, capitalized interest and preferred dividends. The Company had no preferred dividends during the periods ended September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The Company had capitalized interest of $1,009,904 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, $2,698,357 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $965,142 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020. The Company had no principal amortization for the three months ended September 30, 2021, as it repaid its last remaining amortizing loan during the second quarter of 2021; the Company had principal amortization of $372,455 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $1,076,993 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020.
(7)	Interest coverage ratio is calculated as Core EBITDA divided by the sum of interest expense and capitalized interest. The Company had capitalized interest of $1,009,904 for the three months ended September 30, 2021, $2,698,357 for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and $965,142 for the twelve months ended December 31, 2020.

Leases executed for spaces excluded from analysis (5)	610	33.0%

(1)	The populations analyzed for this analysis consist of consolidated leases executed during the relevant period with lease terms of greater than one year. Leases associated with storage spaces, retail spaces, management offices, and newly acquired assets for which there is less than one year of operating history, along with percentage rent leases, are excluded from this analysis.
(2)	For the purposes of this analysis, the last twelve months of cash paying rents of the previous leases are compared to the first twelve months of cash paying rents of the new leases in order to calculate the percentage change.
(3)	For the purposes of this analysis, the accrual basis rents of the previous leases are compared to the accrual basis rents of the new leases in order to calculate the percentage change. For newly signed leases which have variations in accrual basis rents, whether because of known future expansions, contractions, lease expense recovery structure changes, or other similar reasons, the weighted average of such varying accrual basis rents is used for the purposes of this analysis.
(4)	For leases under which a tenant may use, at its discretion, a portion of its tenant improvement allowance for expenses other than those related to improvements to its space, an assumption is made that the tenant elects to use any such portion of its tenant improvement allowance for improvements to its space prior to the commencement of its lease, unless the Company is notified otherwise by the tenant. This assumption is made based upon historical usage patterns of tenant improvement allowances by the Company's tenants.
(5)	Represents leases signed at our consolidated office assets that do not qualify for inclusion in the analysis, primarily because the spaces for which the new leases were signed had been vacant for more than one year.

NOTE:	This information is presented for our consolidated office assets only and excludes activity associated with storage and license spaces.
(1)	For leases under which a tenant may use, at its discretion, a portion of its tenant improvement allowance for expenses other than those related to improvements to its space, an assumption is made that the tenant elects to use any such portion of its tenant improvement allowance for improvements to its space prior to the commencement of its lease, unless the Company is notified otherwise by the tenant. This assumption is made based upon historical usage patterns of tenant improvement allowances by the Company's tenants.
(2)	During 2019, we completed three large lease renewals with significant capital commitments: VMware at 1155 Perimeter Center West in Atlanta, GA, Siemens at Crescent Ridge II in Minnetonka, MN, and the State of New York at 60 Broad Street in New York, NY. If the costs associated with those leases were to be removed from the average committed capital cost calculation, the average committed capital cost per square foot per year of lease term for renewal leases and total leases completed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2019 would be $3.41 and $5.04, respectively.
(3)	During 2018, we completed two large leasing transactions in the Houston, TX market with large capital commitments: a 254,000 square foot lease renewal and expansion with Schlumberger Technology Corporation at 1430 Enclave Parkway and a 301,000 square foot, full-building lease with Transocean Offshore Deepwater Drilling at Enclave Place. If the costs associated with those leases were to be removed from the average committed capital cost calculation, the average committed capital cost per square foot per year of lease term for renewal leases, new leases and total leases completed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018 would be $5.27, $6.02, and $5.70, respectively.
(4)	During 2020, we completed five new leasing transactions (amounting to 93,000 square feet in total) in the Washington, DC market with large capital commitments. If the costs associated with those leases were to be removed from the average committed capital cost calculation, the average committed capital cost per square foot per year of lease term for new leases and total leases completed during the twelve months ended December 31, 2020 would be $5.62 and $5.06, respectively.
(5)	The Company has historically reported the maximum amount of capital to which it committed in leasing transactions as of the signing of the leases with no subsequent updates for variations and/or changes in tenants' uses of tenant improvement allowances. Many times, tenants do not fully use the allowances provided in their leases or let portions of their tenant improvement allowances expire. In an effort to provide additional clarity on the actual costs of completed leasing transactions, tenant improvement allowances that expired or became no longer available to tenants are disclosed in this section and are deducted from the capital commitments per square foot of leased space in the periods in which they expired in an effort to provide a better estimation of leasing transaction costs over time.

Supplemental Definitions

Included below are definitions of various terms used throughout this supplemental report, including definitions of certain non-GAAP financial measures and the reasons why the Company’s management believes these measures provide useful information to investors about the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. Reconciliations of any non-GAAP financial measures defined below are included beginning on page 38.

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.

Annualized Lease Revenue ("ALR"): ALR is calculated by multiplying (i) rental payments (defined as base rent plus operating expense reimbursements, if payable by the tenant on a monthly basis under the terms of a lease that has been executed, but excluding a) rental abatements and b) rental payments related to executed but not commenced leases for space that was covered by an existing lease), by (ii) 12. In instances in which contractual rents or operating expense reimbursements are collected on an annual, semi-annual, or quarterly basis, such amounts are multiplied by a factor of 1, 2, or 4, respectively, to calculate the annualized figure. For leases that have been executed but not commenced relating to un-leased space, ALR is calculated by multiplying (i) the monthly base rental payment (excluding abatements) plus any operating expense reimbursements for the initial month of the lease term, by (ii) 12. Unless stated otherwise, this measure excludes revenues associated with development properties and properties taken out of service for redevelopment, if any.

Core EBITDA: The Company calculates Core EBITDA as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and incrementally removing any impairment losses, gains or losses from sales of property and other significant infrequent items that create volatility within our earnings and make it difficult to determine the earnings generated by our core ongoing business. Core EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Core EBITDA is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it provides a metric for understanding the performance of the Company’s results from ongoing operations without taking into account the effects of non-cash expenses (such as depreciation and amortization), as well as items that are not part of normal day-to-day operations of the Company’s business. Other REITs may not define Core EBITDA in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Core EBITDA may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO"): The Company calculates Core FFO by starting with FFO, as defined by NAREIT, and adjusting for gains or losses on the extinguishment of swaps and/or debt and any significant non-recurring items. Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Core FFO is helpful to investors as a supplemental performance measure because it excludes the effects of certain items which can create significant earnings volatility, but which do not directly relate to the Company’s core business operations. As a result, the Company believes that Core FFO can help facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and provides a more meaningful predictor of future earnings potential. Other REITs may not define Core FFO in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Core FFO may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

EBITDA: EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.

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

Funds From Operations ("FFO"): The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines FFO as net income (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.

Gross Assets: Gross Assets is defined as total assets with the add-back of accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization related to real estate assets and accumulated amortization related to deferred lease costs.

Gross Real Estate Assets: Gross Real Estate Assets is defined as total real estate assets with the add-back of accumulated depreciation and accumulated amortization related to real estate assets.

Incremental Capital Expenditures: Incremental Capital Expenditures are defined as capital expenditures of a non-recurring nature that incrementally enhance the underlying assets' income generating capacity. Tenant improvements, leasing commissions, building capital and deferred lease incentives ("Leasing Costs") incurred to lease space that was vacant at acquisition, Leasing Costs for spaces vacant for greater than one year, Leasing Costs for spaces at newly acquired properties for which in-place leases expire shortly after acquisition, improvements associated with the expansion of a building, renovations that change the underlying classification of a building, and deferred building maintenance capital identified at and completed shortly after acquisition are included in this measure.

Non-Incremental Capital Expenditures: Non-Incremental Capital Expenditures are defined as capital expenditures of a recurring nature related to tenant improvements and leasing commissions that do not incrementally enhance the underlying assets' income generating capacity. We exclude first generation tenant improvements and leasing commissions from this measure, in addition to other capital expenditures that qualify as Incremental Capital Expenditures, as defined above.

Property Net Operating Income ("Property NOI"): The Company calculates Property NOI by starting with Core EBITDA and adjusting for general and administrative expense, income associated with property management performed by Piedmont for other organizations and other income or expense items for the Company, such as interest income from loan investments or costs from the pursuit of non-consummated transactions. The Company may present this measure on an accrual basis or a cash basis. When presented on a cash basis, the effects of straight lined rents and fair value lease revenue are also eliminated. Property NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Property NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental comparative performance measure of income generated by its properties alone without the administrative overhead of the Company. Other REITs may not define Property NOI in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Property NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

Same Store Net Operating Income ("Same Store NOI"): The Company calculates Same Store NOI as Property NOI attributable to the properties for which the following criteria were met during the entire span of the current and prior year reporting periods: (i) they were owned, (ii) they were not under development / redevelopment, and (iii) none of the operating expenses for which were capitalized. Same Store NOI also excludes amounts attributable to land assets. The Company may present this measure on an accrual basis or a cash basis. When presented on a cash basis, the effects of straight lined rents and fair value lease revenue are also eliminated. Same Store NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Same Store NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental comparative performance measure of the income generated from the same group of properties from one period to the next. Other REITs may not define Same Store NOI in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Same Store NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

Same Store Properties: Same Store Properties is defined as those properties for which the following criteria were met during the entire span of the current and prior year reporting periods: (i) they were owned, (ii) they were not under development / redevelopment, and (iii) none of the operating expenses for which were capitalized. Same Store Properties excludes land assets.

Supplemental Operating & Financial Data

Risks, Uncertainties and Limitations

Certain statements contained in this supplemental package constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe-harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable. Such information is subject to certain risks and uncertainties, as well as known and unknown risks, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated. Therefore, such statements are not intended to be a guarantee of our performance in future periods. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” "estimate," “believe,” “continue” or similar words or phrases that are predictions of future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. Examples of such statements in this supplemental package include: the estimated financial impacts associated with, and the general business and economic recovery from, the COVID-19 pandemic; estimated Core FFO and Core FFO per diluted share for calendar year 2021; expected future capital expenditures; and potential future acquisition, disposition and financing activity.

The following are some of the factors that could cause our actual results and expectations to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements: economic, regulatory, socio-economic changes, and/or technology changes (including accounting standards) that impact the real estate market generally, or that could affect patterns of use of commercial office space; the impact of competition on our efforts to renew existing leases or re-let space on terms similar to existing leases; changes in the economies and other conditions affecting the office sector in general and specifically the seven markets in which we primarily operate where we have high concentrations of our annualized lease revenue; lease terminations, lease defaults, or changes in the financial condition of our tenants, particularly by one of our large lead tenants; adverse market and economic conditions, including any resulting impairment charges on both our long-lived assets or goodwill resulting therefrom; the success of our real estate strategies and investment objectives, including our ability to identify and consummate suitable acquisitions and divestitures; the illiquidity of real estate investments, including regulatory restrictions to which real estate investment trusts ("REITs") are subject and the resulting impediment on our ability to quickly respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties; the risks and uncertainties associated with our acquisition and disposition of properties, many of which risks and uncertainties may not be known at the time of acquisition or disposition; development and construction delays and resultant increased costs and risks; our real estate development strategies may not be successful; future acts of terrorism, civil unrest, or armed hostilities in any of the major metropolitan areas in which we own properties, or future cybersecurity attacks against any of our tenants; risks related to the occurrence of cyber incidents, or a deficiency in our cybersecurity, which could negatively impact our business by causing a disruption to our operations, a compromise or corruption of our confidential information, and/or damage to our business relationships; costs of complying with governmental laws and regulations; uninsured losses or losses in excess of our insurance coverage, and our inability to obtain adequate insurance coverage at a reasonable cost; additional risks and costs associated with directly managing properties occupied by government tenants, including an increased risk of default by government tenants during periods in which state or federal governments are shut down or on furlough; significant price and volume fluctuations in the public markets, including on the exchange which we listed our common stock; changes in interest rates and changes in the method pursuant to which the LIBOR rates are determined and the planned phasing out of USD LIBOR after June 2023; high interest rates which could affect our ability to finance or refinance properties; the effect of future offerings of debt or equity securities or changes in market interest rates on the value of our common stock; uncertainties associated with environmental and other regulatory matters; potential changes in the political environment and reduction in federal and/or state funding of our governmental tenants; changes in the financial condition of our tenants directly or indirectly resulting from geopolitical developments that could negatively affect international trade, the termination or threatened termination of existing international trade agreements, or the implementation of tariffs or retaliatory tariffs on imported or exported goods; the effect of any litigation to which we are, or may become, subject; additional risks and costs associated with owning properties occupied by tenants in particular industries, such as oil and gas, hospitality, travel, co-working, etc., including risks of default during start-up and during economic downturns; changes in tax laws impacting REITs and real estate in general, as well as our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or other tax law changes which may adversely affect our stockholders; the future effectiveness of our internal controls and procedures; actual or threatened public health epidemics or outbreaks, such as the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and governmental and private measures taken to combat such health crises, which may affect our personnel, tenants, tenants' operations and ability to pay lease obligations, demand for office space, and the costs of operating our assets; the adequacy of our general reserve related to tenant lease-related assets established as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as the impact of any increase in this reserve or the establishment of any other reserve in the future; and other factors, including the risk factors discussed under Item 1A. of Piedmont’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and other documents we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this supplemental report. We cannot guarantee the accuracy of any such forward-looking statements contained in this supplemental report, and we do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
