Piedmont Office Realty Trust Reports Fourth Quarter and Annual 2022 Results

ATLANTA, February 8, 2023--Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. ("Piedmont" or the "Company") (NYSE:PDM), an owner of Class A office properties located primarily in major U.S. Sunbelt markets, today announced its results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2022.

Highlights for the Three Months and Year Ended December 31, 2022:

Financial Results:

	Three Months Ended			Year Ended
(in 000s other than per share amounts and %)	December 31, 2022		December 31, 2021	December 31, 2022		December 31, 2021

Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") applicable to common stock	$61,235		$63,009	$247,070		$245,422
Core FFO per diluted share	$0.50		$0.51	$2.00		$1.97

Adjusted Funds From Operations applicable to common stock	$47,082		$39,399	$178,040		$160,134

•Net income applicable to Piedmont for the three months ended December 31, 2022 included the following:

◦$101.1 million in gain on sale of real estate assets primarily associated with the previously announced sales of the Company's two Cambridge, MA properties during the fourth quarter;

◦$26.0 million of non-cash impairment losses associated with: (a) a partial write down of the Company's goodwill balance driven by the decline of the stock market and the Company's stock price during the fourth quarter; and (b) the write down of one property as a result of a reduction in the assumed hold period for that particular asset;

◦$2.2 million in severance costs associated with a reorganization of the Company's management structure during the fourth quarter; and,

◦A $6.8 million increase in interest expense driven by a higher average debt balance during the fourth quarter as a result of the acquisition of 1180 Peachtree Street in Atlanta during the third quarter and higher interest rates on the Company's variable rate debt. Other income for the fourth quarter also decreased approximately $2.5 million due to the payoff

of notes receivable due from the purchaser of the Company's New Jersey Portfolio in March of 2022. This increase in interest expense and decrease in other income were partially offset by additional property operating income as a result of successful leasing, rental rate roll ups and asset recycling activity over the last twelve months.

•Net loss applicable to Piedmont for the fourth quarter of 2021 did not include any gain on sale of real estate assets or severance costs, but did include a $41.0 million impairment loss on an asset subsequently sold during 2022.

•Core FFO, which removes the impact of the gains on sale of real estate assets, impairment losses, and severance costs enumerated above, as well as depreciation and amortization expense, was $0.50 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to $0.51 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2021, with the $.01 per diluted share decrease primarily attributable to the $6.8 million, or $.06 per diluted share, increase in interest expense during the fourth quarter of 2022 noted above.

Leasing:

	Three Months Ended December 31, 2022		Year Ended December 31, 2022
# of transactions	42		203
Total leasing sf	433,000		2,153,000

Cash rent roll up	6.5	%	9.7	%
Accrual rent roll up	11.5	%	17.2	%
Leased Percentage as of period end	86.7	%

•The Company completed approximately 2.2 million square feet of leasing transactions during 2022, including the largest amount of annual new tenant leasing since 2018.

•The largest new tenant lease completed during the fourth quarter was an approximately 28,000 square foot lease with Cadence Bank through 2035 at 999 Peachtree Street in Atlanta, GA.

•The largest renewal and expansion lease completed during the fourth quarter totaled approximately 58,000 square feet with Institute for Justice through 2037 at Arlington Gateway in Arlington, VA.

•The Company's scheduled lease expirations for 2023 are low, representing approximately 7% of its annualized lease revenue.

•As of December 31, 2022, the Company had approximately 1.14 million square feet of executed leases for vacant space yet to commence or under rental abatement, representing approximately $33 million of future additional annual cash revenue.

•The Company's leased percentage as of December 31, 2022 was 86.7%, up from 85.5% at December 31, 2021, and down 0.1% for the fourth quarter of 2022 due to the disposition of the 94% leased Cambridge, MA assets during the quarter.

Capital Markets:

•During the fourth quarter, the Company completed the sale of its two, 94% leased, Cambridge, MA properties, One Brattle Square and 1414 Massachusetts, resulting in a $102.6 million gain on sale of real estate assets that is included in the Company's results of operations. The combined approximately $160 million in sales proceeds from the two transactions was used to pay off the

outstanding balance on the Company’s $600 million line of credit, leaving the full capacity of the line available as of December 31, 2022.

Balance Sheet (including description of a subsequent event):

	December 31, 2022		December 31, 2021
Total Real Estate Assets (in millions)	$3,501		$3,245
Total Assets (in millions)	$4,086		$3,931
Total Debt (in millions)	$1,984		$1,878
Weighted Average Cost of Debt	3.89	%	2.93	%
Debt-to-Gross Assets Ratio	37.6	%	37.1	%
Average Net Debt-to-Core EBITDA (ttm)	6.0 x		5.7 x

•During the fourth quarter, the Company addressed its largest near-term debt maturity by amending its $200 million unsecured term loan facility to extend the final maturity date to June 2025. All other terms of the facility remain unchanged.

•As previously announced, on January 31, 2023, the Company also entered into an additional new $215 million term loan facility priced at adjusted SOFR + 105 bps with a final extended maturity date of January 31, 2025. The Company intends to use the proceeds from the facility, along with a combination of cash on hand, proceeds from select property dispositions, and/or draws on its $600 million line of credit to repay its $350 million in Unsecured Senior Notes that mature June 1, 2023.

ESG and Operations:

•During the fourth quarter, Piedmont received its inaugural GRESB® assessment, achieving an overall 4 star designation and “Green Star” recognition. The Company's annual ESG Report which includes Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) metrics and information that aligns with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework is available on the Company's website at www.piedmontreit.com/ESG.

Commenting on annual and fourth quarter results, Brent Smith, Piedmont's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Despite facing the challenging operating and economic environment that unfolded during 2022, we were able to accomplish a number of key objectives for the year, including the execution of approximately 2.2 million square feet of leasing at meaningfully higher rental rates and the completion of a strategic Midtown Atlanta acquisition paired with several non-core dispositions that furthered our concentration in the Sunbelt to over two-thirds of our annualized lease revenue. We also strengthened our cash position, increasing liquidity ahead of our 2023 debt maturity and bolstering our balance sheet. The fourth quarter also reflects a continuation of these same annual themes: the completion of approximately 433,000 square feet of total leasing, 164,000 square feet of which related to new tenant leases; the completion of the disposition of our Cambridge, MA assets, resulting in the recognition of a nine-digit gain; and the extension of our most near-term debt maturity. Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the approximately 230,000 square feet of leasing already executed thus far in 2023, with over 100,000 square feet of that for new tenant space, demonstrating that leasing velocity has not wavered compared to last year."

First Quarter 2023 Dividend

As previously announced, on February 1, 2023, the board of directors of Piedmont declared a dividend for the first quarter of 2023 in the amount of $0.21 per share on its common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 24, 2023, payable on March 17, 2023.

Guidance for 2023

Due to higher projected interest costs, the Company is introducing the following guidance for the year ending December 31, 2023:

(in millions, except per share data)	Low		High
Net income/(loss)	$	(1)	$1
Add:
Depreciation	144		151
Amortization	80		84
Core FFO applicable to common stock	$223		$236
Core FFO applicable to common stock per diluted share	$1.80		$1.90

The Company anticipates continued growth in its Property NOI and SSNOI during the forthcoming year ending December 31, 2023.

Executed leasing activity for 2023 is estimated to be in the range of 1.6 to 2.0 million square feet with year-end leased percentage anticipated to be between 87-88%, before the impacts of acquisition and disposition activity.

This guidance is based on information available to management as of the date of this release and reflects management's view of current market conditions, including the following specific assumptions and projections:

•The largest impact on 2023 guidance is increased interest expense. With an over 400 bps increase in the Federal Funds Rate rates during 2022 and further increases projected during 2023, along with two new floating rate term loans priced at adjusted SOFR plus 100 and 105 bps, respectively, replacing $350 million of 10-year bonds maturing in June at an effective rate of 3.43%, projected interest expense for 2023 is estimated to increase approximately $27 million over 2022 total interest expense.

•2023 guidance includes General and Administrative expenses of approximately $29 million.

•No speculative acquisitions or dispositions are included in the above guidance. The Company will adjust guidance throughout the year as such transactions occur.

Note that actual results could differ materially from these estimates and individual quarters may fluctuate on both a cash basis and an accrual basis due to the timing of any future dispositions, significant 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 expense, one-time revenue or expense events, and other factors discussed under "Forward Looking Statements" below.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), this release and the accompanying quarterly supplemental information as of and for the period ended December 31, 2022 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.

Certain statements contained in this press release 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"). The Company intends 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 known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. 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 the Company's use of forward-looking terminology such as "may," "will," "expect," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "believe," "continue" or similar words or phrases that indicate predictions of future events or trends or that do not relate solely to historical matters. Examples of such statements in this press release include the Company's estimated range of Net Income, Depreciation, Amortization, Core FFO and Core FFO per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2023. These statements are based on beliefs and assumptions of Piedmont’s management, which in turn are based on information available at the time the statements are made.

The following are some of the factors that could cause the Company's actual results and its expectations to differ materially from those described in the Company's forward-looking statements: economic, regulatory, socio-economic (including work from home), technological (e.g. Metaverse, Zoom, etc), and other changes that impact the real estate market generally, the office sector or the patterns of use of commercial office space in general, or the markets where we primarily operate or have high concentrations of annualized lease revenue; the impact of competition on our efforts to renew existing leases or re-let space on terms similar to existing leases; lease terminations, lease defaults, lease contractions, or changes in the financial condition of our tenants, particularly by one of our large lead tenants; impairment charges on our long-lived assets or goodwill resulting therefrom; the success of our real estate strategies and investment objectives, including our ability to implement successful redevelopment and development strategies or identify and consummate suitable acquisitions and divestitures; the illiquidity of real estate investments, including economic changes, such as rising interest rates, which could impact the number of buyers/sellers of our target properties, and 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, including the potential of supply chain disruptions, and resultant increased costs and risks; 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 properties or 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, including environmental standards imposed on office building owners; 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, such as potential changes in the political environment, a reduction in federal or state funding of our governmental tenants, or 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 the method

pursuant to which the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate are determined and the planned phasing out of United States dollar LIBOR after June 2023; changing capital reserve requirements on our lenders and rapidly rising interest rates in the public bond markets could impact our ability to finance properties or refinance existing debt or significantly increase operating/financing costs; the effect of future offerings of debt or equity securities on the value of our common stock; additional risks and costs associated with inflation and continuing increases in the rate of inflation, including the possibility of a recession that could negatively impact our operations and the operations of our tenants and their ability to pay rent; uncertainties associated with environmental and regulatory matters; changes in the financial condition of our tenants directly or indirectly resulting from geopolitical developments that could negatively affect important supply chains and 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 experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as governmental and private measures taken to combat such health crises, could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial results; the adequacy of our general reserve related to tenant lease-related assets 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, 2021 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 press release.

(1)Excludes depreciation of non real estate assets.

(2)Capital expenditures of a recurring nature related to tenant improvements, leasing commissions and building capital that do not incrementally enhance the underlying assets' income generating capacity. Tenant improvements, leasing commissions, building capital and deferred lease incentives incurred to lease space that was vacant at acquisition, leasing costs for spaces vacant for greater than one year, leasing costs for spaces at newly acquired properties for which in-place leases expire shortly after acquisition, improvements associated with the expansion of a building and renovations that either enhance the rental rates of a building or change the property’s underlying classification, such as from a Class B to a Class A property, are excluded from this measure.

(3)Includes potential dilution under the treasury stock method that would occur if our remaining unvested and potential stock awards vested and resulted in additional common shares outstanding. Such dilution is not included when calculating Net loss per diluted share applicable to Piedmont for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2021 as it would reduce the loss per share presented.

*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, if any. 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 infrequent or non-recurring 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, if any. 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 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 non-cash general reserve for uncollectible accounts, 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. Same Store NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that Same Store NOI is helpful to investors as a supplemental comparative performance measure of the income generated from the same group of properties from one period to the next. Other REITs may not define Same Store NOI in the same manner as the Company; therefore, the Company’s computation of Same Store NOI may not be comparable to that of other REITs.

Notice to Readers:

Please refer to page 41for a discussion of important risks related to the business of Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc., as well as an investment in its securities, including risks that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from results and events referred to in the forward-looking information. Considering these risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and limitations, the forward-looking statements about leasing, financial operations, leasing prospects, acquisitions, dispositions, etc. contained in this quarterly supplemental information report may differ from actual results.

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

To supplement the presentation of the Company’s financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), this report contains certain financial measures that are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, including FFO, Core FFO, AFFO, Same Store NOI, Property NOI, EBITDAre and Core EBITDA. Definitions and reconciliations of these non-GAAP measures to their most comparable GAAP metrics are included beginning on page34. 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.

◦A $6.8 million increase in interest expense driven by a higher average debt balance during the fourth quarter as a result of the acquisition of 1180 Peachtree Street in Atlanta during the third quarter and higher interest rates on the Company's variable rate debt. Other income for the fourth quarter also decreased approximately $2.5 million due to the payoff of notes receivable due from the purchaser of the Company's New Jersey Portfolio in March of 2022. This increase in interest expense and decrease in other income were partially offset by additional property operating income as a result of successful leasing, rental rate roll ups and asset recycling activity over the last twelve months.

•Net loss applicable to Piedmont for the fourth quarter of 2021 did not include any gain on sale of real estate assets or severance costs, but did include a $41.0 million impairment loss on an asset subsequently sold during 2022.

•Core FFO, which removes the impact of the gains on sale of real estate assets, impairment losses, and severance costs enumerated above, as well as depreciation and amortization expense, was $0.50 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2022 as compared to $0.51 per diluted share for the fourth quarter of 2021, with the $.01 per diluted share decrease primarily attributable to the $6.8 million, or $.06 per diluted share, increase in interest expense during the fourth quarter of 2022 noted above.

ESG and Operations:

•During the fourth quarter, Piedmont received its inaugural GRESB® assessment, achieving an overall 4 star designation and “Green Star” recognition. The Company's annual ESG Report which includes Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) metrics and information that aligns with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework is available on the Company's website at www.piedmontreit.com/ESG.

Commenting on annual and fourth quarter results, Brent Smith, Piedmont's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Despite facing the challenging operating and economic environment that unfolded during 2022, we were able to accomplish a number of key objectives for the year, including the execution of approximately 2.2 million square feet of leasing at meaningfully higher rental rates and the completion of a strategic Midtown Atlanta acquisition paired with several non-core dispositions that furthered our concentration in the Sunbelt to over two-thirds of our annualized lease revenue. We also strengthened our cash position, increasing liquidity ahead of our 2023 debt maturity and bolstering our balance sheet. The fourth quarter also reflects a continuation of these same annual themes: the completion of approximately 433,000 square feet of total leasing, 164,000 square feet of which related to new tenant leases; the completion of the disposition of our Cambridge, MA assets, resulting in the recognition of a nine-digit gain; and the extension of our most near-term debt maturity. Looking ahead, we are encouraged by the approximately 230,000 square feet of leasing already executed thus far in 2023, with over 100,000 square feet of that for new tenant space, demonstrating that leasing velocity has not wavered compared to last year."

First Quarter 2023 Dividend

As previously announced, on February 1, 2023, the board of directors of Piedmont declared a dividend for the first quarter of 2023 in the amount of $0.21 per share on its common stock to stockholders of record as of the close of business on February 24, 2023, payable on March 17, 2023.

Guidance for 2023

Due to higher projected interest costs, the Company is introducing the following guidance for the year ending December 31, 2023:

(in millions, except per share data)	Low	High
Net income	($1)	$1
Add:
Depreciation	144	151
Amortization	80	84
Deduct:
Gain on sale of real estate assets
Core FFO applicable to common stock	$223	$236
Core FFO per diluted share	$1.80	$1.90

The Company anticipates continued growth in its Property NOI and SSNOI during the forthcoming year ending December 31, 2023.

Executed leasing activity for 2023 is estimated to be in the range of 1.6 to 2.0 million square feet with year-end leased percentage anticipated to be between 87-88%, before the impacts of acquisition and disposition activity.

This guidance is based on information available to management as of the date of this release and reflects management's view of current market conditions, including the following specific assumptions and projections:

•The largest impact on 2023 guidance is increased interest expense. With an over 400 bps increase in the Federal Funds Rate rates during 2022 and further increases projected during 2023, along with two new floating rate term loans priced at adjusted SOFR plus 100 and 105 bps, respectively, replacing $350 million of 10-year bonds maturing in June at an effective rate of 3.43%, projected interest expense for 2023 is estimated to increase approximately $27 million over 2022 total interest expense.

•2023 guidance includes General and Administrative expenses of approximately $29 million.

•No speculative acquisitions or dispositions are included in the above guidance. The Company will adjust guidance throughout the year as such transactions occur.

Note that actual results could differ materially from these estimates and individual quarters may fluctuate on both a cash basis and an accrual basis due to the timing of any future dispositions, significant 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 expense, and one-time revenue or expense events.

(1)	Please refer to page 23 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)	Please refer to the three pages starting with page 13 for reconciliations to net income and additional same store net operating income information. The statistic provided for each of the prior quarters is based on the same store property population applicable at the time that the metric was initially reported.
(5)	Please refer to page 24 for additional roll up / roll down analysis information.
(6)	Core EBITDA margin is calculated as Core EBITDA divided by total revenues.
(7)	The fixed charge coverage ratio is calculated as Core EBITDA divided by the sum of interest expense, principal amortization (none during periods presented), capitalized interest and preferred dividends (none during periods presented). The Company had capitalized interest of $1,002,603 for the quarter ended December 31, 2022, $1,094,713 for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, $1,117,131 for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, $963,350 for the quarter ended March 31, 2022, and $994,675 for the quarter ended December 31, 2021.
(8)	For the purposes of this calculation, we annualize the Core EBITDA for the quarter and use the average daily principal balance of debt outstanding during the quarter, less cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits and restricted cash as of the end of the quarter.
(9)	Total 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.
(10)	Net principal amount of debt is calculated and defined as the total principal amount of debt outstanding minus cash and cash equivalents and escrow deposits and restricted cash all as of the end of the period.

(1)

The presentation method used for this line is not in conformance with GAAP. To be in conformance with the current GAAP standard, the Company would combine amounts presented on the rental income line with amounts presented on the tenant reimbursements line and present that aggregated figure on one line entitled "rental and tenant reimbursement revenue." The amounts presented on this line were determined based upon the Company's interpretation of the rental charges and billing method provisions in each of the Company's lease documents.

(2)

The gain on sale of real estate reflected in the fourth quarter of 2022 was primarily related to the sales of One Brattle Square and 1414 Massachusetts Avenue, both in Cambridge, MA. The impairment loss reflected in the fourth quarter of 2022 was related to (a) a partial write down of the Company's goodwill balance driven by the decline of the stock market and the Company's stock price during the fourth quarter; and (b) the write down of one property as a result of a reduction in the assumed hold period for that particular asset. The gain on sale of real estate reflected in the first quarter of 2022 was primarily related to the sale of 225 and 235 Presidential Way in Woburn, MA. The impairment loss reflected in the fourth quarter of 2021 was related to a reduction in the holding period assumptions for Two Pierce Place in Itasca, IL. Two Pierce Place was subsequently sold in the first quarter of 2022.

(1)	The presentation method used for this line is not in conformance with GAAP. To be in conformance with the current GAAP standard, the Company would combine amounts presented on the rental income line with amounts presented on the tenant reimbursements line and present that aggregated figure on one line entitled "rental and tenant reimbursement revenue." The amounts presented on this line were determined based upon the Company's interpretation of the rental charges and billing method provisions in each of the Company's lease documents.
(2)	The impairment loss for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was related to (a) a partial write down of the Company's goodwill balance driven by the decline of the stock market and the Company's stock price during the fourth quarter; and (b) the write down of one property as a result of a reduction in the assumed hold period for that particular asset. The impairment loss for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2021 was related to a reduction in the holding period assumptions for Two Pierce Place in Itasca, IL. Two Pierce Place was subsequently sold in the first quarter of 2022.
(3)	The gain on sale of real estate for the three months ended December 31, 2022 was primarily related to the sales of One Brattle Square and 1414 Massachusetts Avenue, both in Cambridge, MA. The gain on sale of real estate for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 was primarily related to the sales of One Brattle Square and 1414 Massachusetts Avenue, both in Cambridge, MA, and 225 and 235 Presidential Way in Woburn, MA.

(1)	The increase in cash rental income for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021 was primarily due to rental rate roll ups associated with new and renewal leasing activity along with contractual rent increases across the portfolio.
(2)	The increase in tenant reimbursements for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021 was primarily the result of the expiration of operating expense recovery abatements at several properties in the portfolio as well as an increase in recoverable operating expenses in 2022 in comparison to 2021 due to the increased physical utilization of our buildings.
(3)	The increase in other property related income for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021 was primarily related to increased transient parking demand across the portfolio as a result of post-pandemic increased business activity.
(4)	The increase in property operating expense for the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021 was primarily associated with increased variable operating costs as a result of increasing physical office space utilization by tenants across our portfolio.

(1)	All of Piedmont’s outstanding debt as of December 31, 2022, was interest-only debt or in an interest-only payment period.
(2)	Upon acquiring 1180 Peachtree Street during the third quarter of 2022, Piedmont assumed the mortgage. The stated interest rate of the loan was estimated to be an at-market rate as of the date of closing. The loan is interest-only through September 2023; effective October 1, 2023, the loan will begin amortizing based on a 30-year amortization schedule.
(3)	Weighted average is based on the principal amounts outstanding and interest rates at December 31, 2022.
(4)	The $350 million unsecured senior notes were offered for sale at 99.601% of the principal amount. The resulting effective cost of the financing is approximately 3.45% 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 3.43%.
(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 has a stated variable interest rate; however, Piedmont entered into various interest rate swap agreements in a total notional amount equal to the size of the facility which effectively fix the interest rate for the term loan (at 4.54% as of December 31, 2022; this rate can change only with a credit rating change for the Company) through the loan's maturity date of March 31, 2025.
(7)	On December 14, 2022, Piedmont amended the facility to extend the maturity date to December 16, 2024 with one, six-month extension option available under the facility for a final maturity of June 18, 2025. All other terms of the facility remain unchanged. The final extended maturity date is presented on this schedule.
(8)	The $200 million unsecured term loan has a variable interest rate. Piedmont may select from multiple interest rate options, including the prime rate and various term SOFR rates. The all-in interest rate associated with each SOFR interest period selection is comprised of the relevant adjusted SOFR rate (comprised of the relevant base SOFR interest rate plus a fixed adjustment of 0.10%) plus a credit spread (1.00% as of December 31, 2022) based on Piedmont's then current credit rating.
(9)	All of Piedmont’s outstanding debt as of December 31, 2022 was term debt with the exception of our unsecured revolving credit facility (which had no balance outstanding as of December 31, 2022). The $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility has an initial maturity date of June 30, 2026; however, there are two, six-month extension options available under the facility providing for a total extension of up to one year to June 30, 2027. The final extended maturity date is presented on this schedule.
(10)	There was no balance outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2022; therefore, no interest rate is presented. Had any draws been made under the $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility as of the end of the fourth quarter of 2022, the applicable interest rate would have been approximately 5.25%. Piedmont may select from multiple interest rate options with each draw under the facility, including the prime rate and various SOFR rates. The all-in interest rate associated with each SOFR interest period selection is comprised of the relevant adjusted SOFR rate (comprised of the relevant base SOFR interest rate plus a fixed adjustment of 0.10%) plus a credit spread (0.85% as of December 31, 2022) based on Piedmont's then current credit rating.
(11)	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%.
(12)	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%.
(13)	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 the most restrictive of the specific calculations detailed in the relevant credit agreements. Please refer to such agreements for relevant defined terms.
(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 defined terms and detailed information about the calculations.

Leases executed for spaces excluded from analysis (5)	895	41.6%

(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)	The results for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were influenced by a large lease transaction, an approximately 58,000 square foot lease extension and expansion with Institute for Justice at Arlington Gateway in Arlington, VA. Ignoring this transaction, the percentage changes in cash and accrual rents for the remainder of the analysis population for the three months ended December 31, 2022 were 10.7% and 15.2%, respectively.
(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 the fourth quarter of 2022, we completed one significant lease (amounting to approximately 58,000 square feet in total) in the Washington, DC market with a large capital commitment. If the costs associated with this lease were to be removed from the average committed capital cost calculation, the average committed capital cost per square foot per year of lease term for total leases completed during the three months and the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 would be $6.06 and $5.21, respectively.
(3)	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 36.

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, if any. 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 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 infrequent or non-recurring 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, if any. 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 non-cash general reserve for uncollectible accounts, 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. 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 known and unknown risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those 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 indicate predictions of future events or trends or that do not relate solely to historical matters. Examples of such statements in this supplemental package include: the Company's estimated range of Net Income, Depreciation, Amortization, Core FFO and Core FFO per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2023. These statements are based on beliefs and assumptions of Piedmont’s management, which in turn are based on information available at the time the statements are made.

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 (including work from home), technological (e.g. Metaverse, Zoom, etc.), and other changes that impact the real estate market generally, the office sector or the patterns of use of commercial office space in general, or the markets where we primarily operate or have high concentrations of annualized lease revenue; the impact of competition on our efforts to renew existing leases or re-let space on terms similar to existing leases; lease terminations, lease defaults, lease contractions, or changes in the financial condition of our tenants, particularly by one of our large lead tenants; impairment charges on our long-lived assets or goodwill resulting therefrom; the success of our real estate strategies and investment objectives, including our ability to implement successful redevelopment and development strategies or identify and consummate suitable acquisitions and divestitures; the illiquidity of real estate investments, including economic changes, such as rising interest rates, which could impact the number of buyers/sellers of our target properties, and 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, including the potential of supply chain disruptions, and resultant increased costs and risks; 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 properties or 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, including environmental standards imposed on office building owners; 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, such as potential changes in the political environment, a reduction in federal or state funding of our governmental tenants, or 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 the method pursuant to which the London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and the Secured Overnight Financing Rate are determined and the planned phasing out of United States dollar LIBOR after June 2023; changing capital reserve requirements on our lenders and rapidly rising interest rates in the public bond markets could impact our ability to finance properties or refinance existing debt or significantly increase operating/financing costs; the effect of future offerings of debt or equity securities on the value of our common stock; additional risks and costs associated with inflation and continuing increases in the rate of inflation, including the possibility of a recession that could negatively impact our operations and the operations of our tenants and their ability to pay rent; uncertainties associated with environmental and regulatory matters; changes in the financial condition of our tenants directly or indirectly resulting from geopolitical developments that could negatively affect important supply chains and 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 experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as governmental and private measures taken to combat such health crises, could have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial results; the adequacy of our general reserve related to tenant lease-related assets 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.
