Parkway Properties, Inc.
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
March 31, 2012

Note A – Basis of Presentation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Parkway Properties, Inc. (“Parkway” or “the Company”), its wholly-owned subsidiaries and joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling interest.  The other partners’ equity interests in the consolidated joint ventures are reflected as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements.  Parkway also consolidates subsidiaries where the entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and Parkway is the primary beneficiary and has the power to direct the activities of the VIE and has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive the benefits from the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE.  At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, Parkway did not have any VIEs that required consolidation.  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in the accompanying financial statements.

The Company also consolidates certain joint ventures where it exercises significant control over major operating and management decisions, or where the Company is the sole general partner and the limited partners do not possess kick-out rights or other substantive participating rights.  The equity method of accounting is used for those joint ventures that do not meet the criteria for consolidation and where Parkway exercises significant influence but does not control these joint ventures.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for complete financial statements.

The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.  Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2012.  The financial statements should be read in conjunction with the 2011 annual report and the notes thereto.

The balance sheet at December 31, 2011 has been derived from the audited financial statements as of that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by United States GAAP for complete financial statements.

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”, which changes the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value, changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.  The FASB does not intend for ASU 2011-04 to result in a change in the application of the requirements in ASC 820.  The requirements of ASU 2011-04 are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  At March 31, 2012, the Company had implemented ASU 2011-04.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income”, which modifies reporting requirements for comprehensive income in order to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income in the financial statements.  ASU 2011-05 requires presentation of either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate, but consecutive statements in which the first statement presents net income and its components followed by a second statement that presents total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and total comprehensive income.  The requirements of ASU 2011-05 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  At March 31, 2012, the Company had implemented ASU 2011-05.

The Company has evaluated all subsequent events through the issuance date of the financial statements.

Note B – Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) are computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. In arriving at net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, preferred stock dividends are deducted.  Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if share equivalents such as employee stock options, restricted shares and deferred incentive share units were exercised or converted into common stock that then shared in the earnings of Parkway.

The computation of diluted EPS is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

 
Three Months Ended
March 31
 
   
2012
   
2011
Numerator:
         
     Basic and diluted net income (loss)

     Dilutive weighted average shares

     Diluted net income (loss) per share attributable to
          Parkway Properties, Inc.
 
$
0.09 
 
 
$
(0.32)

The computation of diluted EPS for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 did not include the effect of employee stock options, deferred incentive share units and restricted shares because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Note C – Supplemental Cash Flow Information and Schedule of Non-Cash Investing and Financing Activity

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

(1) Gains on assets held for sale are expected to be finalized upon sale and reflected in 2Q2012 financial statements.
(2) Total gain on the sale of real estate in discontinued operations recognized for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $17.8 million, of which $9.8 million was Parkway’s proportionate share.
(3) Total gain on the sale of real estate in discontinued operations recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $5.6 million, of which $2.3 million was Parkway’s proportionate share.
(4) During the first quarter of 2012 the Company sold 12 of 15 non-core assets.  The 12 assets sold include five assets in Richmond, four assets in Memphis and three assets in Jackson.  The three remaining assets that have not yet closed are The Pinnacle, Parking at Jackson Place and 111 Capitol Building, all in Jackson, Mississippi.  The Pinnacle and Parking at Jackson Place are expected to close during the second quarter of 2012, subject to buyer’s successful assumption of the existing mortgage and customary closing conditions.  The contract to sell 111 Capitol Building has expired without sale.

During the first quarter, the Company completed a significant portion of its previously disclosed dispositions as part of its strategic objective of becoming a leading owner of high quality office assets in higher growth markets in the Sunbelt.  As previously disclosed, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its interest in 13 office properties totaling 2.7 million square feet owned by Parkway Properties Office Fund, L.P. (“Fund I”) to its existing partner in the fund for a gross sales price of $344.3 million.  As of December 31, 2011, Parkway had completed the sale of 9 of these 13 assets.  These Fund I assets had a total $292.3 million in mortgage loans, of which $82.5 million was Parkway’s share, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.6% that were assumed by the buyer upon closing.

 
Page 10 of 43

 

During the first quarter and through April 30, 2012, the Company completed the sale of two additional Fund I assets totaling 450,000 square feet, for net proceeds to Parkway of $2.7 million.  The sale of the two remaining assets in the Fund I portfolio is currently expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2012, subject to obtaining necessary lender consents and customary closing conditions.  Accordingly, income from the remaining Fund I properties has been classified as discontinued operations for all current and prior periods.
 
Additionally, during the first quarter, the Company completed the sale of 12 of the 15 properties included in its strategic sale of a portfolio of non-core assets, generating net proceeds to Parkway of approximately $89.0 million.  The 12 assets that were sold during the quarter include five assets in Richmond, four assets in Memphis, and three assets in Jackson.

The two remaining non-core assets pending sale are The Pinnacle at Jackson Place and Parking at Jackson Place, and the sale is expected to close during the second quarter of 2012, subject to the buyer's successful assumption of the existing mortgage loan and customary closing conditions.  The Company does not anticipate receiving any material net proceeds from these sales still under contract.  The Pinnacle at Jackson Place currently serves as collateral for a $29.5 million mortgage loan.  The contract to sell a third non-core asset, 111 Capitol Building in Jackson, has expired without a sale.  Income for this non-core portfolio has been classified as discontinued operations for all current and prior periods.

The Company completed the sale of two additional assets in the first quarter, including the sale of 111 East Wacker, a 1.0 million square foot office property located in Chicago and Falls Pointe, a 107,000 square foot office property located in Atlanta and owned by Parkway Properties Office Fund II, L.P. (“Fund II”).  Parkway received approximately $4.0 million in net proceeds from both sales, which were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company's credit facility and fund its proportionate share of equity interests in additional purchases by Fund II.  Income from 111 East Wacker and Falls Pointe has been classified as discontinued operations for all current and prior periods.

In connection with the dispositions completed in the first quarter of 2012, and to date as of April 30, 2012, the buyers of the related office properties assumed $195.0 million in mortgage loans, of which $159.7 million was Parkway’s share.

At March 31, 2012, assets and liabilities related to assets held for sale represented six properties totaling 1.0 million square feet.  The major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale at March 31, 2012 are as follows (in thousands):

Note F – Mortgage Loans

In connection with the previous sale of One Park Ten, the Company had seller-financed a $1.5 million note receivable that bore interest at 7.25% per annum on an interest-only basis through maturity in June 2012.  On April 2, 2012, the borrower prepaid the note receivable and all accrued interest in full.

On April 10, 2012, the Company transferred its rights, title and interest in the B participation piece (the “B piece”) of a first mortgage secured by an 844,000 square foot office building in Dallas, Texas known as 2100 Ross.  The B piece was purchased at an original cost of $6.9 million in November 2007.  The B piece was originated by Wachovia Bank, N.A., a Wells Fargo Company, and had a face value of $10.0 million, a stated coupon rate of 6.065% and a scheduled maturity in May 2012.  During 2011, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss on the mortgage loan in the amount of $9.2 million, thereby reducing its investment in the mortgage loan to zero.  Under the terms of the transfer, the Company is entitled to certain payments if the transferee is successful in obtaining ownership of 2100 Ross or if the transferee is successful in obtaining payment on the amount due on the note receivable.  In the event that the transferee is unsuccessful in obtaining value from the note receivable, the Company would not be entitled to any payment.

Note G – Management Contracts

During 2011, as part of the Company’s combination with Eola, Parkway purchased the management contracts associated with Eola’s property management business.  At the purchase date, the contracts were valued by an independent appraiser at $52.0 million.  The value of the management contracts is based on the sum of the present value of future cash flows attributable to the management contracts, in addition to the value of tax savings as a result of the amortization of intangible assets.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded amortization expense of $862,000 on the management contracts.  Also, in conjunction with the valuation of the management company, the Company recorded $26.2 million of goodwill, a $31.0 million liability related to contingent consideration and a deferred tax liability of $14.8 million.  At March 31, 2012, management contracts, net of accumulated amortization totaled $48.7 million, goodwill totaled $26.2 million and deferred tax liability totaled $14.1 million.  There is no remaining liability with respect to the contingent consideration.

Note H - Capital and Financing Transactions

On March 30, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a consortium of eight banks for its $190.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility.  Additionally, the Company amended its $10.0 million working capital revolving credit facility under substantially the same terms and conditions, with the combined size of the facilities remaining at $200.0 million (collectively, the “New Facilities”).  The New Facilities provide for modifications to the existing facilities by, among other things, extending the maturity date from January 31, 2014 to March 29, 2016, with an additional one-year extension option with the payment of a fee, increasing the size of the accordion feature from $50 million to as much as $160 million, lowering applicable interest rate spreads and unused fees, and modifying certain other terms and financial covenants.  The interest rate on the New Facilities is based on LIBOR plus 160 to 235 basis points, depending on overall Company leverage (with the current rate set at 210 basis points).  Additionally, the Company pays fees on the unused portion of the New Facilities ranging between 25 and 35 basis points based  upon usage of the aggregate commitment (with the current rate set at 35 basis points).  Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated acted as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Runners on the senior facility.  In addition, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. acted as Administrative Agent and Bank of America, N.A. acted as Syndication Agent.  KeyBank, N.A., PNC Bank, N.A. and Royal Bank of Canada all acted as Documentation Agents.  Other participating lenders include JPMorgan Chase Bank, Trustmark National Bank, and Seaside National Bank and Trust.  The working capital revolving credit facility was provided solely by PNC Bank, N.A.  At March 31, 2012, the Company had a total of $48.0 million outstanding under its credit facilities (collectively, the “Credit Facility”) and was in compliance with all loan covenants under each credit facility.

Mortgage notes payable at March 31, 2012 totaled $644.4 million, of which $90.7 million was classified as liabilities related to assets held for sale, with an average interest rate of 5.5% and were secured by office properties.

On January 9, 2012, in connection with the sale of 111 East Wacker for a gross sale price of $150.6 million, the buyer assumed the existing $147.9 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the property which had a fixed interest rate of 6.3% and maturity date of July 2016.

On January 11, 2012, in connection with the purchase of The Pointe in Tampa, Florida, Fund II obtained a $23.5 million non-recourse first mortgage loan, which matures in February 2019.  The mortgage has a fixed rate of 4.0% and is interest only for the first 42 months of the term.

On February 10, 2012, Fund II obtained a $50.0 million non-recourse mortgage loan, of which $15.0 million is Parkway’s share, secured by Hayden Ferry II, a 300,000 square foot office property located in the Tempe submarket of Phoenix, Arizona.  The mortgage loan matures in July 2018 and bears interest at LIBOR plus the applicable spread which ranges from 250 to 350 basis points over the term of the year loan.  In connection with this mortgage, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap that fixes LIBOR at 1.5% through January 25, 2018, which equates to a total interest rate ranging from 4.0% to 5.0%.  The mortgage loan is cross-collateralized, cross-defaulted, and coterminous with the mortgage loan secured by Hayden Ferry I.

On March 9, 2012, the Company repaid a $16.3 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Bank of America Plaza, a 337,000 square foot office property in Nashville, Tennessee.  The mortgage loan had a fixed rate of 7.1% and was scheduled to mature in May 2012.  The Company repaid the mortgage loan using available proceeds under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities.

During 2012, in conjunction with the sale of two Fund I assets, the buyer assumed $47.1 million of non-recourse first mortgage loans, of which $11.8 million was Parkway’s share.  The remaining two assets in the Fund I portfolio serve as collateral for a $29.7 million non-recourse mortgage loan, of which $7.4 million is Parkway’s share.  This loan will be assumed by the buyer upon closing during the second quarter of 2012, subject to obtaining necessary lender consents and customary closing conditions.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements.  The Company designated the swaps as cash flow hedges of the variable interest rates on a portion of the debt secured by the Pinnacle at Jackson Place and the debt secured by 245 Riverside, Corporate Center Four, Cypress Center, Bank of America Center, Two Ravinia, Hayden Ferry I, and Hayden Ferry II. These swaps, excluding the swap secured by the Pinnacle at Jackson Place, are considered to be fully effective and changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

On February 10, 2012, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap with the lender of the loan secured by Hayden Ferry II in Phoenix, Arizona, for a $50 million notional amount that fixes LIBOR at 1.5% through January 25, 2018, which when combined with the applicable spread ranging from 250 to 350 basis points equates to a total interest rate ranging from 4.0% to 5.0% over the term of the loan..  The Company designated the swap as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest payments associated with the mortgage loan.

Parkway serves as the general partner of Fund I and provides asset management, property management, leasing and construction management services to the fund, for which it is paid market-based fees. Cash distributions from the fund are made to each joint venture partner based on their actual percentage of ownership in the fund. Since Parkway is the sole general partner and has the authority to make major decisions on behalf of the fund, Parkway is considered to have a controlling interest. Accordingly, Parkway is required to consolidate the fund in its consolidated financial statements.

As previously disclosed, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its interest in 13 office properties totaling 2.7 million square feet owned by Fund I to its existing partner in the fund for a gross sales price of $344.3 million.  As of April 30, 2012, the Company has completed the sale of 11 Fund I assets totaling approximately 2.4 million square feet in six markets, representing a majority of the Fund I assets.  The sale of the two remaining assets in the Fund I portfolio is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2012, subject to obtaining necessary lender consents and customary closing conditions.  Parkway received approximately $14.0 million in net proceeds for the completed sales of the Fund I assets, and the proceeds were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company's credit facilities.  The remaining two assets in the Fund I portfolio have a total of $29.7 million in non-recourse mortgage loans, of which $7.4 million is Parkway’s share and are expected to be assumed by the buyer upon closing.

Fund II, a $750.0 million discretionary fund, was formed on May 14, 2008 and was fully invested at February 10, 2012.  Fund II was structured such that Teacher Retirement System of Texas (“TRST”) would be a 70% investor and Parkway a 30% investor in the fund, with an original target capital structure of approximately $375.0 million of equity capital and $375.0 million of non-recourse, fixed-rate first mortgage debt.  Fund II acquired 12 properties totaling 4.2 million square feet in Atlanta, Charlotte, Phoenix, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa and Philadelphia.

Parkway serves as the general partner of Fund II and provides asset management, property management, leasing and construction management services to the fund, for which it is paid market-based fees.  Cash will be distributed pro rata to each partner until a 9% annual cumulative preferred return is received and invested capital is returned.  Thereafter, 56% will be distributed to TRST and 44% to Parkway.  The term of Fund II will be seven years from the date the fund was fully invested, or until February 2019, with provisions to extend the term for two additional one-year periods at the discretion of Parkway.

Noncontrolling interest - real estate partnerships represents the other partners’ proportionate share of equity in the partnerships discussed above at March 31, 2012. Income is allocated to noncontrolling interest based on the weighted average percentage ownership during the year.

Operating Partnership Units (“OP Units”)

On December 30, 2011, Parkway and the former Eola principals amended certain post-closing provisions of the contribution agreement to provide, among other things, that if the Management Company achieved annual revenues in excess of the original 2011 target, all OP Units subject to the 2011 earn-out, the 2012 earn-out and the earn-up will be deemed earned and paid when the 2011 earn-out payment is made.  Based on the Management Company revenue for 2011, the target was achieved and all 1.8 million OP Units were earned and issued to Eola’s principals on February 28, 2012.

Effective May 1, 2010, the stockholders of the Company approved Parkway’s 2010 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (the “2010 Equity Plan”) that authorized the grant of up to 600,000 equity based awards to employees and directors of the Company. The 2010 Equity Plan replaced the Company’s 2003 Equity Incentive Plan and the 2001 Non-Employee Directors Equity Compensation Plan.  At present, it is Parkway’s intention to grant restricted shares and/or deferred incentive share units instead of stock options, although the 2010 Equity Plan authorizes various forms of incentive awards, including options.  The 2010 Equity Plan has a ten-year term.
 

 
 
Page 15 of 43

 
Compensation expense, including estimated forfeitures, for service-based awards is recognized over the expected vesting period.  The total compensation expense for the long-term equity incentive awards is based upon the fair value of the shares on the grant date, adjusted for estimated forfeitures.  Time-based restricted
shares and deferred incentive share units are valued based on the New York Stock Exchange closing market price of Parkway common shares (NYSE ticker symbol, PKY) as of the date of grant.  The grant date fair value for awards that are subject to market conditions is determined using a simulation pricing model developed to specifically accommodate the unique features of the awards.

Restricted shares and deferred incentive share units are forfeited if an employee leaves the Company before the vesting date except in the case of the employee’s death or permanent disability or upon termination following a change of control. Shares and/or units that are forfeited become available for future grant under the 2010 Equity Plan.

On February 14, 2012, 21,900 long-term equity incentive awards were granted to officers of the Company.  The long-term equity incentive awards are valued at $222,000 which equates to an average price per share of $10.15 and are time-based awards.  These shares are accounted for as equity-classified awards.

The time-based awards will vest ratably over four years from the date the shares are granted.  The market condition awards are contingent on the Company meeting goals for compounded annual total return to stockholders (“TRS”) over the three year period beginning July 1, 2010.  The market condition goals are based upon (i) the Company’s absolute compounded annual TRS; and (ii) the Company’s absolute compounded annual TRS relative to the compounded annual return of the MSCI US REIT (“RMS”) Index calculated on a gross basis, as follows:

 
Threshold
Target
Maximum
Absolute Return Goal
10%
12%
14%
Relative Return Goal
RMS + 100 bps
RMS + 200 bps
RMS + 300 bps

With respect to the absolute return goal, 15% of the award is earned if the Company achieves threshold performance and a cumulative 60% is earned for target performance.  With respect to the relative return goal, 20% of the award is earned if the Company achieves threshold performance and a cumulative 55% is earned for target performance.  In each case, 100% of the award is earned if the Company achieves maximum performance or better. To the extent actually earned, the market condition awards will vest 50% on each of July 15, 2013 and 2014.

The Company also adopted a long-term cash incentive that was designed to reward significant outperformance over the three year period beginning July 1, 2010.  The performance goals for actual payment under the long-term cash incentive will require the Company to (i) achieve an absolute compounded annual TRS that exceeds 14% AND (ii) achieve an absolute compounded annual TRS that exceeds the compounded annual return of the RMS by at least 500 basis points.  Notwithstanding the above goals, in the event the Company achieves an absolute compounded annual TRS that exceeds 19%, then the Company must achieve an absolute compounded annual TRS that exceeds the compounded annual return of the RMS by at least 600 basis points.  The aggregate amount of the cash incentive earned would increase with corresponding increases in the absolute compounded annual TRS achieved by the Company.  There will be a cap on the aggregate cash incentive earned in the amount of $7.1 million.  Achievement of the maximum cash incentive would equate to an absolute compounded annual TRS that approximates 23%, provided that the absolute compounded annual TRS exceeds the compounded annual return of the RMS by at least 600 basis points.  The total compensation expense for the long-term cash incentive awards is based upon the estimated fair value of the award on the grant date and adjustment as necessary each reporting period.  The long-term cash incentive awards are accounted for as a liability-classified award on the Company’s March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 consolidated balance sheets.  The grant date and quarterly fair value estimates for awards that are subject to a market condition are determined using a simulation pricing model developed to specifically accommodate the unique features of the awards.

At March 31, 2012, a total of 382,670 shares of restricted stock have been granted to officers of the Company.  The shares are valued at $3.2 million, which equates to an average price per share of $8.48.  The value, including estimated forfeitures, of restricted shares that vest based on service conditions will be amortized to compensation expense ratably over the vesting period for each grant of stock.  At March 31, 2012, a total of 23,815 deferred incentive share units have been granted to employees of the Company.  The deferred incentive share units are valued at $543,000, which equates to an average price per share of $22.79, and the units vest four years from grant date.  Total compensation expense related to the restricted stock and deferred incentive units of $157,000, and $407,000 was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Total compensation expense related to nonvested awards not yet recognized was $2.2 million at March 31, 2012.  The weighted average period over which this expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 1.9 years.

Note K - Fair Values of Financial Instruments

FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”), defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also provides guidance for using fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities.  The Codification requires disclosure of the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, including measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active (Level 2), and significant valuation assumptions that are not readily observable in the market (Level 3).

The methods and assumptions used to estimate fair value for each class of financial asset or liability are discussed below:

Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value.

Mortgage notes payable:  The fair value of mortgage notes payable is estimated using discounted cash flow analysis, based on the Company’s current incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements.  This information is considered a Level 2 input as defined by ASC 820.

Notes payable to banks:  The fair value of the Company’s notes payable to banks is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at current market rates.  This information is considered a Level 2 input as defined by ASC 820.

Interest rate swap agreements:  The fair value of the interest rate swaps is determined by estimating the expected cash flows over the life of the swap using the mid-market rate and price environment as of the last trading day of the reporting period.  This information is considered a Level 2 input as defined by ASC 820.

Note L – Income Taxes
 
The Company qualifies and has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).  The Company will generally not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that it distributes its taxable income to the Company’s shareholders, and as long as Parkway satisfies the ongoing REIT requirements including meeting certain asset, income and stock ownership tests.

 
Page 17 of 43

 

The Company has elected to treat certain consolidated subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries, which are tax paying entities for income tax purposes and are taxed separately from the Company.  Taxable REIT subsidiaries may participate in non-real estate related activities and/or perform non-customary services for tenants and are subject to federal and state income tax at regular corporate tax rates.

Parkway’s provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $406,000 of current federal and state income tax expense resulting from undistributed REIT taxable income.

In connection with the purchase accounting for the Management Company, the Company recorded deferred tax liabilities of $14.8 million representing differences between the tax basis and GAAP basis of the acquired assets and liabilities (primarily related to the Management Company contracts) multiplied by the effective tax rate.  The Company was required to record these deferred tax liabilities as a result of the Management Company operating as a C corporation at the time it was acquired.  At March 31, 2012, the deferred tax liability totaled $14.1 million and the deferred income tax benefit recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $245,000.

Note M - Subsequent Events

TPG Securities Purchase Agreement

On May 3, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and TPG VI Pantera Holdings, L.P. (“TPG”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, TPG will acquire 4,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $11.25 per share, and 13,477,778 shares of a newly authorized series of the Company’s preferred stock, designated as Series E Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price and liquidation preference of $11.25 per share, for an aggregate investment in the Company by TPG of $200 million.

The Series E Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of common stock following the receipt of the requisite approval of the Company’s stockholders at an initial conversion ratio equal to one share of common stock per share of Series E Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment.  In the event that the approval by the Company’s stockholders of such conversion has not been obtained within 180 following the closing of the transaction, the liquidation preference of and conversion ratio applicable to each share of Series E Preferred Stock will be adjusted to equal 110% of the liquidation preference and conversion ratio in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.  The Series E Preferred Stock will participate in dividends declared and paid on the common stock.  Until it is converted into common stock, the dividend rate applicable to the Series E Preferred Stock will increase to (i) 8.0% per annum beginning 180 days after closing of the TPG transaction and continuing until the end of the second full calendar quarter after commencement of such dividend rate (during which time the Company may pay the dividends in kind by issuing additional shares of Series E Preferred Stock), (ii) 12% per annum beginning upon expiration of such period and continuing for four calendar quarters, and (iii) 15% per annum thereafter.  These dividends will be net of the amount of any Common Stock dividends received by the holders of Series E Preferred Stock during such periods.

Hearst Tower Purchase and Sale Agreement

On April 30, 2012, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire Hearst Tower, a 972,000 square foot office tower located in the central business district of Charlotte, North Carolina.  The purchase and sale agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the seller, is subject to customary due diligence procedures and closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2012.

The contract purchase price of the property is approximately $250 million, exclusive of closing costs.  In connection with the acquisition of the property, the Company deposited $12.5 million in escrow. Such deposit will be credited towards the purchase price of the property. The building is currently 94% leased with no material lease expirations until 2017.  The purchase of the Hearst Tower will initially be funded using proceeds from the anticipated investment by TPG and amounts available under the Credit Facility.

Note N - Segment Information

Parkway’s primary business is the ownership and operation of office properties. The Company accounts for each office property or groups of related office properties as an individual operating segment.  Parkway has aggregated its individual operating segments into a single reporting segment due to the fact that the individual operating segments have similar operating and economic characteristics.

The Company believes that the individual operating segments exhibit similar economic characteristics such as being leased by the square foot, sharing the same primary operating expenses and ancillary revenue opportunities and being cyclical in the economic performance based on current supply and demand conditions.  The individual operating segments are also similar in that revenues are derived from the leasing of office space to customers and each office property is managed and operated consistently in accordance with Parkway’s standard operating procedures.  The range and type of customer uses of our properties is similar throughout our portfolio regardless of location or class of building and the needs and priorities of our customers do not vary from building to building.  Therefore, Parkway’s management responsibilities do not vary from location to location based on the size of the building, geographic location or class.

The management of the Company evaluates the performance of the reportable office segment based on funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO”).  Management believes that FFO is an appropriate measure of performance for equity REITs and computes this measure in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition of FFO.  Funds from operations is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), reduced by preferred dividends, excluding gains or losses on depreciable real estate and extraordinary items under GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments to derive the Company’s pro rata share of FFO of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.  Further, the Company does not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges.  The Company believes that FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of its operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses.  However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient.  Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP.  The Company believes that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of real estate investment trusts among the investing public and making comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful.  FFO as reported by Parkway may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition.  Funds from operations do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and is not an indication of cash available to fund cash needs.  Funds from operations should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview

Parkway is a self-administered REIT specializing in the ownership of quality office properties in higher growth submarkets in the Sunbelt region of the United States.  At April 30, 2012, Parkway owns or has an interest in 43 office properties located in 10 states with an aggregate of approximately 10.0 million square feet of leasable space.  Fee-based real estate services are offered through wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company, which in total manage and/or lease approximately 12.5 million square feet for third-party owners at April 30, 2012.  Unless otherwise indicated, all references to square feet represent net rentable area.

Occupancy.  Parkway’s revenues are dependent on the occupancy of its office buildings.  At April 1, 2012, occupancy of Parkway’s office portfolio was 85.9% compared to 83.9% at January 1, 2012 and 83.8% at April 1, 2011.  Not included in the April 1, 2012, occupancy rate is the impact of the sale of Overlook II on April 30, 2012, as well as 21 signed leases totaling 148,000 square feet expected to take occupancy between now and the fourth quarter of 2012, of which the majority will commence during the second and third quarters of 2012.  Including the sale of Overlook II and these signed leases, the Company’s portfolio was 87.6% leased at April 1, 2012.  The Company’s average occupancy for the first quarter of 2012 was 84.3%, and Parkway currently projects an average annual occupancy range of 84.5% to 86.5% during 2012 for its office properties.  To combat rising vacancy, Parkway utilizes innovative approaches to produce new leases.  These include the Broker Bill of Rights, a short-form service agreement and customer advocacy programs which are models in the industry and have historically helped the Company maintain occupancy over time.

During the first quarter of 2012, 46 leases were renewed totaling 140,000 rentable square feet at an average rent per square foot of $22.41, representing a 7.9% rate decrease, and at an average cost of $1.99 per square foot per year of the lease term.

During the first quarter of 2012, 11 expansion leases were signed totaling 25,000 rentable square feet at an average rent per square foot of $24.27 and at an average cost of $5.35 per square foot per year of the lease term.

During the first quarter of 2012, 27 new leases were signed totaling 203,000 rentable square feet at an average rent per square foot of $22.43 and at an average cost of $5.49 per square foot per year of the term.

Rental Rates.  An increase in vacancy rates in a market or at a specific property has the effect of reducing market rental rates and vice versa.  Parkway’s leases typically have three to seven year terms, though the Company does enter into leases with terms that are either shorter or longer than that typical range.  As leases expire, the Company seeks to replace the existing leases with new leases at the current market rental rate.  For Parkway’s core properties owned as of April 1, 2012, management estimates that it has approximately $0.58 per square foot in rental rate embedded loss in its office property leases.  Embedded loss is defined as the difference between the weighted average in-place cash rents including operating expense reimbursements and the weighted average estimated market rental rate.

Customer Retention.  Keeping existing customers is important as high customer retention leads to increased occupancy, less downtime between leases, and reduced leasing costs.  Parkway estimates that it costs five to six times more to replace an existing customer with a new one than to retain the existing customer.  In making this estimate, Parkway takes into account the sum of revenue lost during downtime on the space plus leasing costs, which typically rise as market vacancies increase.  Therefore, Parkway focuses a great amount of energy on customer retention.  Parkway's operating philosophy is based on the premise that it is in the customer retention business.  Parkway seeks to retain its customers by continually focusing on operations at its office properties.  The Company believes in providing superior customer service; hiring, training, retaining and empowering each employee; and creating an environment of open communication both internally and externally with customers and stockholders.  Over the past ten years, Parkway maintained an average 65% customer retention rate.  Parkway’s customer retention rate was 46.8% for the quarter ended March 31, 2012, as compared to 47.1% for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, and 48.1% for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Business Objective and Operating Strategies

Our business objective is to maximize long-term stockholder value by generating sustainable cash flow growth and increasing the long-term value of our real estate assets.  We intend to achieve this objective by executing on the following business and growth strategies:

·  
Create Value as the Leading Owner of Quality Assets in Core Submarkets. Our investment strategy is to pursue attractive returns by focusing primarily on owning high-quality office buildings and portfolios that are well-located and competitively positioned within central business district and urban infill locations within our core submarkets.   We also seek to pursue value-add investment opportunities on a limited basis, for example by acquiring under-leased assets at attractive purchase prices and increasing occupancy at those assets over time, to complement the balance of the core portfolio.  Further, we intend to pursue an efficient capital allocation strategy that maximizes the returns on our invested capital.  This may include selectively disposing of properties when we believe returns have been maximized and redeploying capital into acquisitions or other opportunities.

·  
Maximize Cash Flow by Continuing to Enhance the Operating Performance of Each Property.  We provide property and asset management and leasing services to our portfolio, actively managing our properties and leveraging our customer relationships to improve operating performance, maximize long-term cash flow and enhance stockholder value.  By developing an ownership plan for each of our properties and then continually managing our properties to those plans throughout our ownership, we seek to attain a favorable customer retention rate by providing outstanding property management and customer service programs responsive to the varying needs of our diverse customer base.  We will also employ a judicious prioritization of capital projects to focus on projects that enhance the value of a property through increased rental rates, occupancy, service delivery, or enhanced reversion value.

·  
Realize Leasing and Operational Efficiencies and Gain Local Advantage.  We expect to concentrate our real estate portfolio in submarkets where we believe that we can maximize market penetration by accumulating a critical mass of properties and thereby enhance operating efficiencies.  We believe that strengthening our local presence and leveraging our extensive market relationships will yield superior market information and service delivery and facilitate additional investment opportunities to create long-term stockholder value.

Joint Ventures and Partnerships

Management views investing in wholly-owned properties as the highest priority of our capital allocation, however the Company intends to selectively pursue joint ventures if we determine that such a structure will allow us to reduce anticipated risks related to a property or portfolio or to address unusual operational risks.  Under the terms of these joint ventures and partnerships, where applicable, Parkway will seek to manage all phases of the investment cycle including acquisition, financing, operations, leasing and dispositions.  The Company will receive fees for providing these services.

At March 31, 2012, Parkway had two partnerships structured as discretionary funds.

Parkway Properties Office Fund I, L.P. (“Fund I”), a $500.0 million discretionary fund, was formed on July 6, 2005 and was fully invested at February 15, 2008.  Fund I was structured such that Ohio PERS would be  a 75% investor and Parkway  a 25% investor in the fund, with an original target capital structure of approximately $200.0 million of equity capital and $300.0 million of non-recourse, fixed-rate first mortgage debt.

As previously disclosed, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its interest in 13 office properties totaling 2.7 million square feet owned by Fund I to its existing partner in the fund for a gross sales price of $344.3 million.  As of April 30, 2012, the Company has completed the sale of 11 Fund I assets totaling approximately 2.4 million square feet in six markets, representing a majority of the Fund I assets.  The sale of the two remaining assets in the Fund I portfolio is expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2012, subject to obtaining necessary lender consents and customary closing conditions.  Parkway received approximately $14.0 million in net proceeds for the completed sales of the Fund I assets, and the proceeds were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company's credit facilities. The remaining two assets in the Fund I portfolio have a total of $29.7 million in non-recourse mortgage loans, of which $7.4 million is Parkway’s share and are expected to be assumed by the buyer upon closing.

Parkway Properties Office Fund II, L.P. (“Fund II”), a $750.0 million discretionary fund, was formed on May 14, 2008 and was fully invested at February 10, 2012.  Fund II was structured such that Teacher Retirement System of Texas (“TRST”) would be a 70% investor and Parkway a 30% investor in the fund, with an original target capital structure of approximately $375.0 million of equity capital and $375.0 million of non-recourse, fixed-rate first mortgage debt.  Fund II acquired 12 properties totaling 4.2 million square feet in Atlanta, Charlotte, Phoenix, Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa and Philadelphia.

Parkway serves as the general partner of Fund II and provides asset management, property management, leasing and construction management services to the fund, for which it is paid market-based fees.  Cash will be distributed pro rata to each partner until a 9% annual cumulative preferred return is received and invested capital is returned.  Thereafter, 56% will be distributed to TRST and 44% to Parkway.  The term of Fund II will be seven years from the date the fund was fully invested, or until February 2019, with provisions to extend the term for two additional one-year periods at the discretion of Parkway.

Financial Condition

Comments are for the balance sheet dated March 31, 2012 compared to the balance sheet dated December 31, 2011.

Office and Parking Properties. In 2012, Parkway continued the execution of its strategy of operating and acquiring office properties as well as liquidating non-core assets that no longer meet the Company’s investment criteria or the Company has determined value will be maximized by selling.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, total assets decreased $221.5 million or 13.5%.

Acquisitions and Improvements.  Parkway's investment in office and parking properties increased $110.5 million net of depreciation to a carrying amount of $1.0 billion at March 31, 2012 and consisted of 38 office and parking properties and excluded properties classified as held for sale.  The primary reason for the increase in office and parking properties relates to the purchase of two office properties by Fund II.

On January 11, 2012, Fund II purchased The Pointe, a 252,000 square foot office building located in the Westshore submarket of Tampa, Florida.  The gross purchase price for The Pointe was $46.9 million and Parkway’s ownership share is 30%.  Parkway's equity contribution of $7.0 million was funded through availability under the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility

On February 10, 2012, Fund II purchased Hayden Ferry Lakeside II (“Hayden Ferry II”), a 300,000 square foot Class A+ office building located in the Tempe submarket of Phoenix and directly adjacent to Hayden Ferry Lakeside I (“Hayden Ferry I”) purchased by Fund II in the second quarter of 2011.  The gross purchase price was $86.0 million and Parkway’s ownership share is 30%.  Parkway’s equity contribution of $10.8 million was funded through availability under the Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility.  This investment in Hayden Ferry II completes the total investment of Fund II.

During the three months ending March 31, 2012, the Company capitalized building improvements of $7.9 million and recorded depreciation expense of $11.1 million related to its office and parking properties.

Dispositions.  During the first quarter, the Company completed a significant portion of its previously disclosed dispositions as part of its strategic objective of becoming a leading owner of high quality office assets in higher growth markets in the Sunbelt.  As previously disclosed, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its interest in 13 office properties totaling 2.7 million square feet owned by Fund I to its existing partner in the fund for a gross sales price of $344.3 million.  As of December 31, 2011, Parkway had completed the sale of 9 of these 13 assets.
 
During the first quarter and through April 30, 2012, the Company completed the sale of two additional Fund I assets totaling 450,000 square feet, for net proceeds to Parkway of $2.7 million.  The sale of the two remaining assets in the Fund I portfolio is currently expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2012, subject to obtaining necessary lender consents and customary closing conditions.
 

 
Page 23 of 43

 

Additionally, during the first quarter, the Company completed the sale of 12 of the 15 properties included in its strategic sale of a portfolio of non-core assets, generating net proceeds to Parkway of approximately $89.0 million.  The 12 assets that were sold during the quarter include five assets in Richmond, four assets in Memphis, and three assets in Jackson.
 
The two remaining non-core assets pending sale are The Pinnacle at Jackson Place and Parking at Jackson Place, and the sale is expected to close during the second quarter of 2012, subject to the buyer's successful assumption of the existing mortgage loan and customary closing conditions.  The Company does not anticipate receiving any material net proceeds from these sales still under contract.  The Pinnacle at Jackson Place currently serves as collateral for a $29.5 million mortgage loan.  The contract to sell a third non-core asset, 111 Capitol Building in Jackson, has expired without a sale.

The Company completed the sale of two additional assets in the first quarter, including the sale of 111 East Wacker, a 1.0 million square foot office property located in Chicago and Falls Pointe, a 107,000 square foot office property located in Atlanta and owned by Parkway Properties Office Fund II, L.P. (“Fund II”).  Parkway received approximately $4.0 million in net proceeds from both sales, which were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company's credit facility and fund its proportionate share of equity interests in additional purchases by Fund II.

Mortgage Loans.  In connection with the previous sale of One Park Ten, the Company had seller-financed a $1.5 million note receivable that bore interest at 7.25% per annum on an interest-only basis through maturity in June 2012.  On April 2, 2012, the borrower prepaid the note receivable and all accrued interest in full.

On April 10, 2012, the Company transferred its rights, title and interest in the B participation piece (the “B piece”) of a first mortgage secured by an 844,000 square foot office building in Dallas, Texas known as 2100 Ross.  The B piece was purchased at an original cost of $6.9 million in November 2007.  The B piece was originated by Wachovia Bank, N.A., a Wells Fargo Company, and had a face value of $10.0 million, a stated coupon rate of 6.065% and a scheduled maturity in May 2012.  During 2011, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment loss on the mortgage loan in the amount of $9.2 million, thereby reducing its investment in the mortgage loan to zero.  Under the terms of the transfer, the Company is entitled to certain payments if the transferee is successful in obtaining ownership of 2100 Ross or if the transferee is successful in obtaining payment on the amount due on the note receivable.  In the event that the transferee is unsuccessful in obtaining value from the note receivable, the Company would not be entitled to any payment.

Receivables and Other Assets.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, receivables and other assets decreased $13.1 million or 12.0%.  The net decrease is primarily due to the receipt of $11.3 million in proceeds from the sale of nine Fund I assets on December 31, 2011, and the release of a $7.0 million lender escrow related to Hayden Ferry I, offset by an increase in lease costs related to the purchase price allocation of two office properties purchased by Fund II.

Intangible Assets, Net. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, intangible assets net of related amortization increased $9.6 million or 10.0% and was primarily due to the purchase of two office properties by Fund II.
 
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents.  Cash and cash equivalents decreased $43.7 million or 58.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and is primarily due to equity contributions from Fund II limited partners received during 2011 for the purchase of office properties which closed during the first quarter of 2012.  Parkway’s proportionate share of cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 was $12.5 million and $25.8 million, respectively.

Assets Held for Sale and Liabilities Related to Assets Held for Sale.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, assets held for sale decreased $283.9 million or 74.2% and liabilities related to assets held for sale decreased $185.2 million or 64.9%.  For a complete discussion of assets and related to liabilities held for sale, please reference “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Results of Operations – Discontinued Operations.”

Notes Payable to Banks. Notes payable to banks decreased $84.3 million or 63.7% during the three months ended March 31, 2012.  At March 31, 2012, notes payable to banks totaled $48.0 million and the net decrease is attributable to payments on the senior unsecured revolving credit facility from proceeds received from the sale of office properties.

On March 30, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a consortium of eight banks for its $190 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility.  Additionally, the Company amended its $10 million working capital revolving credit facility under substantially the same terms and conditions, with the combined size of the facilities remaining at $200 million (collectively, the “New Facilities”).  The New Facilities provide for modifications to the existing facilities by, among other things, extending the maturity date from January 31, 2014 to March 29, 2016, with an additional one-year extension option with the payment of a fee, increasing the size of the accordion feature from $50 million to as much as $160 million, lowering applicable interest rate spreads and unused fees, and modifying certain other terms and financial covenants.  The interest rate on the New Facilities is based on LIBOR plus 160 to 235 basis points, depending on overall Company leverage (with the current rate set at 210 basis points).  Additionally, the Company pays fees on the unused portion of the New Facilities ranging between 25 and 35 basis points based  upon usage of the aggregate commitment (with the current rate set at 35 basis points).  Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated acted as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Runners on the senior facility.  In addition, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. acted as Administrative Agent and Bank of America, N.A. acted as Syndication Agent.  KeyBank, N.A., PNC Bank, N.A. and Royal Bank of Canada all acted as Documentation Agents.  Other participating lenders include JPMorgan Chase Bank, Trustmark National Bank, and Seaside National Bank and Trust.  The working capital revolving credit facility was provided solely by PNC Bank, N.A.

Mortgage Notes Payable. During the three months ended March 31, 2012, mortgage notes payable increased $55.7 million or 11.2% and is due to the placement of non-recourse mortgage loans on two Fund II properties totaling $73.5 million, offset by the payoff of one mortgage loan in the amount of $16.3 million and scheduled principal payments of $1.5 million.

On January 11, 2012, in connection with the purchase of The Pointe in Tampa, Florida, Fund II obtained a $23.5 million non-recourse first mortgage loan, which matures in February 2019.  The mortgage has a fixed rate of 4.0% and is interest only for the first forty-two month period.

On February 10, 2012, Fund II obtained a $50.0 million non-recourse mortgage loan, of which $15.0 million is Parkway’s shares, secured by Hayden Ferry II, a 300,000 square foot office property located in the Tempe submarket of Phoenix, Arizona.  The mortgage loan matures in July 2018 and bears interest at LIBOR plus the applicable spread which ranges from 250 to 350 basis points over the term of the loan.  In connection with this mortgage, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap that fixes LIBOR at 1.5% through January 25, 2018, which equates to a total interest rate ranging from 4.0% to 5.0%.  The mortgage loan is cross-collateralized, cross-defaulted, and coterminous with the mortgage loan secured by Hayden Ferry I.

On March 9, 2012, the Company repaid a $16.3 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Bank of America Plaza, a 337,000 square foot office property in Nashville, Tennessee.  The mortgage loan had a fixed rate of 7.1% and was scheduled to mature in May 2012.  The Company repaid the mortgage loan using available proceeds under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities.

The Company expects to continue seeking primarily fixed-rate, non-recourse mortgage financing with maturities from five to ten years typically amortizing over 25 to 30 years on select office building investments as additional capital is needed.  The Company monitors a number of leverage and other financial metrics defined in the loan agreements for the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility and working capital unsecured credit facility, which include but are not limited to the Company’s total debt to total asset value.  In addition, the
Company monitors interest, fixed charge and modified fixed charge coverage ratios as well the net debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) multiple.  The interest coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued to EBITDA.  The fixed charge coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued, principal payments made on mortgage loans and preferred dividends paid to EBITDA.  The modified fixed charge coverage ratio is computed by comparing cash interest accrued and preferred dividends paid to EBITDA.  The net debt to EBITDA multiple is computed by comparing Parkway’s share of net debt to EBITDA computed for a trailing 12-month period and adjusted pro forma for any completed investment activity. Management believes all of the leverage and other financial metrics it monitors, including those discussed above, provides useful information on total debt levels as well as the Company’s ability to cover interest, principal and/or preferred dividend payments.  The Company currently targets a net debt to EBITDA multiple of 5.5 to 6.5 times.

Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities.  For the three months ended March 31, 2012, accounts payable and other liabilities decreased $19.4 million or 21.4% and is primarily due to the decrease in contingent consideration related to the Eola purchase for which 1.8 million operating partnership units (“OP units”) were issued during the first quarter of 2012.

On December 30, 2011, Parkway and the former Eola principals amended certain post-closing provisions of the contribution agreement to provide, among other things, that if the Management Company achieved annual revenues in excess of the original 2011 target, all OP Units subject to the 2011 earn-out, the 2012 earn-out and the earn-up will be deemed earned and paid when the 2011 earn-out payment is made.  Based on the Management Company revenue for 2011, the target was achieved and all 1.8 million OP Units were earned and issued to Eola’s principals on February 28, 2012.

Shelf Registration Statement.  The Company has a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-178001) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 5, 2011.  The Company may offer an indeterminate number or amount, as the case may be, of (i) shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share; (ii) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share; and (iii) warrants to purchase preferred stock or common stock, all of which may be issued from time to time on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, at an aggregate public offering price not to exceed $500 million.  As of April 30, 2012, the Company had $500 million of securities available for issuance under the registration statement.

The Company also has a registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-178003) that was declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2012.  The Company may issue up to 1.8 million shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, to certain holders of common units of limited partnership interests in Parkway Properties LP ("PPLP"), a Delaware limited partnership.  The Company’s indirect, controlled subsidiary is the general partner of PPLP.  Pursuant to the Partnership Agreement for PPLP, the Company may elect to deliver shares to common unit holders who wish to have their common units redeemed.  As of April 30, 2012, the Company had 1.8 million shares of common stock available for issuance under the registration statement.

Subsequent Events.  TPG Securities Purchase Agreement.  On May 3, 2012, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and TPG VI Pantera Holdings, L.P. (“TPG”).  Pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, TPG will acquire 4,300,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at a purchase price of $11.25 per share, and 13,477,778 shares of a newly authorized series of the Company’s preferred stock, designated as Series E Convertible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series E Preferred Stock”), at a purchase price and liquidation preference of $11.25 per share, for an aggregate investment in the Company by TPG of $200 million.

The Series E Preferred Stock will be convertible into shares of common stock following the receipt of the requisite approval of the Company’s stockholders at an initial conversion ratio equal to one share of common stock per share of Series E Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment.  In the event that the approval by the Company’s stockholders of such conversion has not been obtained within 180 following the closing of the transaction, the liquidation preference of and conversion ratio applicable to each share of Series E Preferred Stock will be adjusted to equal 110% of the liquidation preference and conversion ratio in effect immediately prior to such adjustment.  The Series E Preferred Stock will participate in dividends declared and paid on the common stock.  Until it is converted into common stock, the dividend rate applicable to the Series E Preferred
Stock will increase to (i) 8.0% per annum beginning 180 days after closing of the TPG transaction and continuing until the end of the second full calendar quarter after commencement of such dividend rate (during which time the Company may pay the dividends in kind by issuing additional shares of Series E Preferred Stock), (ii) 12% per annum beginning upon expiration of such period and continuing for four calendar quarters, and (iii) 15% per annum thereafter.  These dividends will be net of the amount of any Common Stock dividends received by the holders of Series E Preferred Stock during such periods.

Once all shares of Series E Preferred Stock are converted to common stock, TPG would own approximately 43% of the Company and would have Board representation proportional to its ownership percentage.  TPG will also have consent rights for certain major decisions of the Company for so long as TPG’s level of ownership of the Company is equal to or greater than 22.5% of the outstanding common stock (assuming full conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock).

Hearst Tower Purchase and Sale Agreement.  On April 30, 2012, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement to acquire Hearst Tower, a 972,000 square foot office tower located in the central business district of Charlotte, North Carolina.  The purchase and sale agreement contains customary representations and warranties by the seller, is subject to customary due diligence procedures and closing conditions and is expected to close in the second quarter of 2012.

The contract purchase price of the property is approximately $250 million, exclusive of closing costs.  In connection with the acquisition of the property, the Company deposited $12.5 million in escrow. Such deposit will be credited towards the purchase price of the property. The building is currently 94% leased with no material lease expirations until 2017.  The purchase of the Hearst Tower will initially be funded using proceeds from the anticipated investment by TPG and amounts available under the Credit Facility.

(1)  
Parkway defines EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, acquisition costs, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, other gains and losses and fair value adjustments.  EBITDA, as calculated by us, is not comparable to EBITDA reported by other REITs that do not define EBITDA exactly as we do.
(2)  
EBITDA as presented for the trailing 12 months includes the implied annualized impact of any acquisition or disposition activity during the 12 month period.

 
Page 28 of 43

 

The Company believes that EBITDA helps investors and Parkway’s management analyze the Company’s ability to service debt and pay cash distributions.  However, the material limitations associated with using EBITDA as a non-GAAP financial measure compared to cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities are that EBITDA does not reflect the Company’s historical cash expenditures or future cash requirements for working capital, capital expenditures or the cash required to make interest and principal payments on the Company’s outstanding debt.  Although EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, the Company compensates for the limitations by using EBITDA only to supplement GAAP financial measures.  Additionally, the Company believes that investors should consider EBITDA in conjunction with net income and the other required GAAP measures of its performance and liquidity to improve their understanding of Parkway’s operating results and liquidity.

Parkway views EBITDA primarily as a liquidity measure and, as such, the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to it is cash flows provided by operating activities.  Because EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, it should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for operating income, net income, or cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities prepared in accordance with GAAP.  The following table reconciles EBITDA to cash flows provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

Results of Operations

Comments are for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2011.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2012, was $2.0 million ($0.09 per basic common share) compared to net loss attributable to common stockholders of $6.8 million ($0.32 per basic common share) for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The primary reason for the increase in net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period for 2011 in the amount of $8.8 million is primarily attributable to Parkway’s proportionate share of net operating income from Fund II purchases which closed during the second quarter of 2011 and first quarter of 2012, and gains on sale of real estate from discontinued operations recognized during the first quarter of 2012.  Other variances for income and expense items that comprise net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders are discussed in detail below.

Office and Parking Properties. The analysis below includes changes attributable to same-store properties and acquisitions of office properties.  Same-store properties are consolidated properties that the Company owned for the current and prior year reporting periods, excluding properties classified as discontinued operations.  At March 31, 2012, same-store properties consisted of 28 properties comprising 5.5 million square feet.

Revenue from office and parking properties for same-store properties decreased $450,000 or 1.8% for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The primary reason for the decrease is due to a $650,000 restoration fee received from a customer in Atlanta, Georgia during the first quarter of 2011.

Property operating expenses for same-store properties decreased $397,000 or 3.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period of 2011.  The primary reason for the decrease is due to a decrease in utilities and repair and maintenance expense.

Depreciation and amortization expense attributable to office and parking properties increased $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period for 2011.  The primary reason for the increase is due to the purchase of eight office properties and an additional interest in one property during 2011 and two office properties during 2012.

Management Company Income and Expenses.  Management company income increased $5.1 million and management company expenses increased $3.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to the same period for 2011.  The increases are primarily a result of the purchase of the Eola Management Company in May 2011.

Acquisition Costs.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred $826,000 in acquisition costs compared to $2.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The primary reason for the decrease is due to costs associated with the Eola combination and purchase of eight Fund II office properties that closed during the first half of 2011, compared with the purchase of two Fund II office properties that closed during the first quarter of 2012.  Parkway’s proportionate share of acquisition costs for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $248,000 and $1.7 million, respectively.

Share-Based Compensation Expense. Compensation expense related to restricted shares and deferred incentive share units of $157,000 and $407,000 was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Total compensation expense related to nonvested awards not yet recognized was $2.2 million at March 31, 2012.  The weighted average period over which the expense is expected to be recognized is approximately 1.9 years.

On February 14, 2012, the Board of Directors approved 21,900 long-term equity incentive awards to officers of the Company.  The long-term equity incentive awards are valued at $222,000 which equates to an average price per share of $10.15 and are time-based awards.  These shares are accounted for as equity-classified awards.

The time-based awards will vest ratably over four years from the date the shares were granted.  See Note J for additional information on share-based and long-term compensation plans.

Mortgage interest expense increased $3.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period for 2011, and is primarily due to new loans obtained or assumed during 2011 and 2012.

Credit facility interest expense decreased $878,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to the same period of 2011.  The decrease is due to a decrease in average borrowings of $29.4 million due to the net proceeds from office property sales in 2011 and 2012 which were used to pay down amounts outstanding under the credit facilities offset by borrowings to fund the Company’s equity investments in office properties purchased by Fund II during 2011 and 2012.

(1) Gains on assets held for sale are expected to be finalized upon sale and reflected in 2Q2012 financial statements.
(2) Total gain on the sale of real estate in discontinued operations recognized for the year ended December 31, 2011, was $17.8 million, of which $9.8 million was Parkway’s proportionate share.
(3) Total gain on the sale of real estate in discontinued operations recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $5.6 million, of which $2.3 million was Parkway’s proportionate share.
(4) During the first quarter of 2012 the Company sold 12 of 15 non-core assets.  The 12 assets sold include five assets in Richmond, four assets in Memphis and three assets in Jackson.  The three remaining assets that have not yet closed are The Pinnacle, Parking at Jackson Place and 111 Capitol Building, all in Jackson, Mississippi.  The Pinnacle and Parking at Jackson Place are expected to close during the second quarter of 2012, subject to buyer’s successful assumption of the existing mortgage and customary closing conditions.  The contract to sell 111 Capitol Building has expired without sale.

During the first quarter, the Company completed a significant portion of its previously disclosed dispositions as part of its strategic objective of becoming a leading owner of high quality office assets in higher growth markets in the Sunbelt.  As previously disclosed, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its interest in 13 office properties totaling 2.7 million square feet owned by Parkway Properties Office Fund, L.P. (“Fund I”) to its existing partner in the fund for a gross sales price of $344.3 million.  As of December 31, 2011, Parkway had completed the sale of 9 of these 13 assets.  These Fund I assets had a total $292.3 million in mortgage loans, of which $82.5 million was Parkway’s share, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.6% that were assumed by the buyer upon closing.
 
During the first quarter and through April 30, 2012, the Company completed the sale of two additional Fund I assets totaling 450,000 square feet, for net proceeds to Parkway of $2.7 million.  The sale of the two remaining assets in the Fund I portfolio is currently expected to close by the end of the second quarter of 2012, subject to obtaining necessary lender consents and customary closing conditions.  Accordingly, income from the remaining Fund I properties has been classified as discontinued operations for all current and prior periods.
 

 
Page 33 of 43

 

Additionally, during the first quarter, the Company completed the sale of 12 of the 15 properties included in its strategic sale of a portfolio of non-core assets, generating net proceeds to Parkway of approximately $89.0 million.  The 12 assets that were sold during the quarter include five assets in Richmond, four assets in Memphis, and three assets in Jackson.
 
The two remaining non-core assets pending sale are The Pinnacle at Jackson Place and Parking at Jackson Place, and the sale is expected to close during the second quarter of 2012, subject to the buyer's successful assumption of the existing mortgage loan and customary closing conditions.  The Company does not anticipate receiving any material net proceeds from these sales still under contract.  The Pinnacle at Jackson Place currently serves as collateral for a $29.5 million mortgage loan.  The contract to sell a third non-core asset, 111 Capitol Building in Jackson, has expired without a sale.  Income for this non-core portfolio has been classified as discontinued operations for all current and prior periods.

The Company completed the sale of two additional assets in the first quarter, including the sale of 111 East Wacker, a 1.0 million square foot office property located in Chicago and Falls Pointe, a 107,000 square foot office property located in Atlanta and owned by Parkway Properties Office Fund II, L.P. (“Fund II”).  Parkway received approximately $4.0 million in net proceeds from both sales, which were used to reduce amounts outstanding under the Company's credit facility and fund its proportionate share of equity interests in additional purchases by Fund II.  Income from 111 East Wacker and Falls Pointe has been classified as discontinued operations for all current and prior periods.

In connection with the dispositions completed in the first quarter of 2012, and to date as of April 30, 2012, the buyers of the related office properties assumed $195.0 million in mortgage loans, of which $159.7 million was Parkway’s share.

At March 31, 2012, assets and liabilities related to assets held for sale represented six properties totaling 1.0 million square feet.  The major classes of assets and liabilities classified as held for sale at March 31, 2012 are as follows (in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, current income tax expense increased $406,000.  The increase is attributable to taxes that will be owed by the Company’s taxable REIT subsidiary which was formed as a result of the combination with Eola.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, deferred income tax benefit increased by $245,000 as a result of the change in the deferred tax liability recorded as part of the purchase price allocation associated with the Eola Management Company.  At March 31, 2012, the deferred tax liability totaled $14.1 million.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, “Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure
Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS”, which changes the wording used to describe the requirements in U.S. GAAP for measuring fair value, changes certain fair value measurement principles and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements.  The FASB does not intend for ASU 2011-04 to result in a change in the application of the requirements in ASC 820.  The requirements of ASU 2011-04 are effective prospectively for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  At March 31, 2012, the Company had implemented ASU 2011-04.

In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income”, which modifies reporting requirements for comprehensive income in order to increase the prominence of items reported in other comprehensive income in the financial statements.  ASU 2011-05 requires presentation of either a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or two separate, but consecutive statements in which the first statement presents net income and its components followed by a second statement that presents total other comprehensive income, the components of other comprehensive income, and total comprehensive income.  The requirements of ASU 2011-05 are effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011.  At March 31, 2012, the Company had implemented ASU 2011-05.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Statement of Cash Flows.  Net cash and cash equivalents were $31.5 million and $74.2 million at March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.  Net cash provided by operating activities was $15.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to net cash used in operating activities at $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2011.  The increase in cash flows from operating activities of $20.7 million is primarily attributable to an increase in property net operating income due to the purchase of Fund II assets during 2011 and 2012, and a decrease in deferred leasing costs and acquisition costs.

Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was $25.9 million and $95.2 million, respectively.  The decrease in net cash used in investing activities of $69.3 million is primarily due to proceeds from the sale of office properties in 2012.

Net cash used in financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2012 was $33.4 million compared to net cash provided by financing activities of $154.8 million, for the same period of 2011.  The increase in net cash flows used in financing activities of $188.2 million is primarily attributable to payments on the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility as a result of office property sales, as well as a decrease in contributions from noncontrolling interest partners to fund office property purchases.

Liquidity. The Company plans to continue pursuing the acquisition of additional investments that meet the Company’s investment criteria and intends to use operating cash flow, proceeds from the placement of new mortgage loans, proceeds from the refinancing of existing mortgages, proceeds from the sale of assets, proceeds from the sale of portions of owned assets through joint ventures, possible sales of securities, cash balances and the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facilities to fund those acquisitions.

 
Page 35 of 43

 

 

The Company’s cash flows are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its senior unsecured revolving credit facility, which has a floating interest rate tied to LIBOR used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of the Company’s real estate investment portfolio and operations.  The Company’s interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on cash flows and to attempt to lower its overall borrowing costs.  To achieve its objectives, the Company borrows at fixed rates when possible, but also utilizes a senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

At March 31, 2012, the Company had a total of $48.0 million outstanding under the following credit facilities (in thousands):

(1) The interest rate on the credit facilities is based on LIBOR plus 160 to 235 basis points, depending upon overall Company leverage as defined in the loan agreements for the Company’s Credit Facility, with the current rate set at 210 basis points.  Additionally, the Company pays fees on the unused portion of the credit facilities ranging between 25 and 35 basis points based upon usage of the aggregate commitment, with the current rate set at 35 basis points.

On March 30, 2012, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with a consortium of eight banks for its $190.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, the Company amended its $10.0 million working capital revolving credit facility under substantially the same terms and conditions, with the combined size of the facilities remaining at $200.0 million (collectively, the “New Facilities”).  The New Facilities provide for modifications to the existing facilities by, among other things, extending the maturity date from January 31, 2014 to March 29, 2016, with an additional one-year extension option with the payment of a fee, increasing the size of the accordion feature from $50 million to as much as $160 million, lowering applicable interest rate spreads and unused fees, and modifying certain other terms and financial covenants.  The interest rate on the New Facilities is based on LIBOR plus 160 to 235 basis points, depending on overall Company leverage (with the current rate set at 210 basis points).  Additionally, the Company pays fees on the unused portion of the New Facilities ranging between 25 and 35 basis points based  upon usage of the aggregate commitment (with the current rate set at 35 basis points).  Wells Fargo Securities, LLC and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated acted as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Runners on the senior facility.  In addition, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. acted as Administrative Agent and Bank of America, N.A. acted as Syndication Agent.  KeyBank, N.A., PNC Bank, N.A. and Royal Bank of Canada all acted as Documentation Agents.  Other participating lenders include JPMorgan Chase Bank, Trustmark National Bank, and Seaside National Bank and Trust.  The working capital revolving credit facility was provided solely by PNC Bank, N.A.

The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements.  The Company designated the swaps as cash flow hedges of the variable interest rates on a portion of the debt secured by the Pinnacle at Jackson Place and the debt secured by 245 Riverside, Corporate Center Four, Cypress Center, Bank of America Center, Two Ravinia, Hayden Ferry I, and Hayden Ferry II.  These swaps, excluding the swap secured by the Pinnacle at Jackson Place, are considered to be fully effective and changes in the fair value of the swaps are recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

On February 10, 2012, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap with the lender of the loan secured by Hayden Ferry II in Phoenix, Arizona, for a $50 million notional amount that fixes LIBOR at 1.5% through January 25, 2018, which when combined with the applicable spread ranging from 250 to 350 basis points equates to a total interest rate ranging from 4.0% to 5.0% over the term of the loan.  The Company designated the swap as a cash flow hedge of the variable interest payments associated with the mortgage loan.

At March 31, 2012, the Company had $644.4 million in mortgage notes payable secured by office properties, of which $90.7 million was classified as liabilities related to assets held for sale, with an average interest rate of 5.5%, and $48.0 million drawn under the Company’s Credit Facilities.

On January 9, 2012, in connection with the sale of 111 East Wacker for a gross sale price of $150.6 million, the buyer assumed the existing $147.9 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by the property which had a fixed interest rate of 6.3% and maturity date of July 2016.

On January 11, 2012, Fund II obtained a $23.5 million non-recourse, first-mortgage secured by The Pointe, a 252,000 square foot office property located in the Westshore submarket of Tampa, Florida. The mortgage loan has a fixed interest rate of 4.0% and is interest only for the first 42 months of the term with a maturity of February 10, 2019.

On February 10, 2012, Fund II obtained a $50.0 million non-recourse mortgage loan, of which $15.0 million is Parkway’s share, secured by Hayden Ferry II, a 300,000 square foot office property located in the Tempe submarket of Phoenix, Arizona.  The mortgage loan matures in July 2018 and bears interest at LIBOR plus the applicable spread which ranges from 250 to 350 basis points over the term of the loan.  In connection with this mortgage, Fund II entered into an interest rate swap that fixes LIBOR at 1.5% through January 25, 2018, which equates to a total interest rate ranging from 4.0% to 5.0%.  The mortgage loan is cross-collateralized, cross-defaulted, and coterminous with the mortgage loan secured by Hayden Ferry I.

On March 9, 2012, the Company repaid a $16.3 million non-recourse mortgage loan secured by Bank of America Plaza, a 337,000 square foot office property in Nashville, Tennessee.  The mortgage loan had a fixed rate of 7.1% and was scheduled to mature in May 2012.  The Company repaid the mortgage loan using available proceeds under the senior unsecured revolving credit facilities.

During 2012, in conjunction with the sale of the Fund I assets, the buyer assumed $47.1 million of non-recourse first mortgage loans, of which $11.8 million was Parkway’s share.  The remaining two assets in the Fund I portfolio serve as collateral for a $29.7 million non-recourse mortgage loan, of which $7.4 million is Parkway’s share.  This loan will be assumed by the buyer upon closing during the second quarter of 2012, subject to obtaining necessary lender consents and customary closing conditions.

The Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with TPG on May 3, 2012.  The Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement to acquire Hearst Tower in Charlotte, North Carolina.  See Note M for information regarding these subsequent events.

The Company monitors a number of leverage and other financial metrics, including but not limited to debt to total asset value ratio, as defined in the loan agreements for the Company’s credit facility.  In addition, the Company also monitors interest, fixed charge and modified fixed charge coverage ratios, as well as the net debt to EBITDA multiple.  The interest coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued to EBITDA. The interest coverage ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 3.28 and 2.63 times, respectively.  The fixed charge coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued, principal payments made on mortgage loans and preferred dividends paid to EBITDA.  The fixed charge coverage ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 1.97 and 1.78 times, respectively.  The modified fixed charge coverage ratio is computed by comparing the cash interest accrued and preferred dividends paid to EBITDA.  The modified fixed charge coverage ratio for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 2.28 and 2.18 times, respectively.  The net debt to EBITDA multiple is computed by comparing Parkway’s share of net debt to EBITDA for a trailing 12-month period, as adjusted pro forma for completed investment activities.  The net debt to EBITDA multiple for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 was 5.0 and 6.5 times, respectively.  Management believes various leverage and other financial metrics it monitors provide useful information on total debt levels as well as the Company’s ability to cover interest, principal and/or preferred dividend payments.  The Company seeks to maintain over the long-term a net debt to EBITDA multiple of between 5.5 and 6.5 times.

The table below presents the principal payments due and weighted average interest rates for total mortgage notes payable, which includes $90.7 million in mortgage notes payable classified as liabilities related to assets held for sale, at March 31, 2012 (in thousands).

*Remaining nine months

The Company presently has plans to make recurring capital expenditures to its office properties during 2012 of approximately $18.0 to $20.0 million on a consolidated basis, with approximately $17.0 to $19.0 million representing Parkway’s proportionate share of recurring capital improvements.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred $5.7 million in recurring capital expenditures on a consolidated basis, with $5.3 million representing Parkway’s proportionate share.  These costs include tenant improvements, leasing costs and recurring building improvements. Additionally, the Company presently has plans to make improvements related to upgrades on properties acquired in recent years that were anticipated at the time of purchase in 2012 of approximately $12.0 to $13.0 million on a consolidated basis, with approximately $4.0 to $5.0 million representing Parkway’s proportionate share.  During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the Company incurred $4.0 million related to upgrades on properties acquired in recent years that were anticipated at the time of purchase and major renovations that are nonrecurring in nature to office properties, with $1.3 million representing Parkway’s proportionate share.  All such improvements were financed by cash flow from the properties, capital expenditure escrow accounts, advances from the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility and contributions from joint venture partners.

The Company anticipates that its current cash balance, operating cash flows, contributions from joint venture partners and borrowings (including borrowing availability under the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility) will be adequate to pay the Company’s (i) operating and administrative expenses, (ii) debt service and debt maturity obligations, (iii) distributions to stockholders, (iv) capital improvements, and (v) normal repair and maintenance expenses at its properties, both in the short and long term.  In addition, the Company may use proceeds from the sale of assets and the possible sale of equity securities to fund these items.

Contractual Obligations

See information appearing under the caption “Financial Condition - Notes Payable to Banks and Mortgage Notes Payable” in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for a discussion of changes in long-term debt since December 31, 2011.

Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

Management believes that FFO is an appropriate measure of performance for equity REITs and computes this measure in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (“NAREIT”) definition of FFO (including any guidance that NAREIT releases with respect to the definition). Funds from operations is defined by NAREIT as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), reduced by preferred dividends, excluding gains or losses on depreciable real estate and extraordinary items under GAAP, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments to derive the Company’s pro rata share of FFO of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.  Further, the Company does not adjust FFO to eliminate the effects of non-recurring charges.  The Company believes that FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of its operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses.  However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient.  Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that excludes historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income, as defined by GAAP. The Company believes that the use of FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of real estate investment trusts among the investing public and making comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. FFO as reported by Parkway may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition. Funds from operations do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States and is not an indication of cash available to fund cash needs.  Funds from operations should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

The following table presents a reconciliation of the Company’s net income (loss) for Parkway Properties, Inc. to FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):

Inflation

Inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company because of the relatively low inflation rate in the Company’s geographic areas of operation.  Additionally, most of the Company’s leases require customers to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses above an initial base year, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, utilities and insurance, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation.  The Company’s leases typically have three to seven year terms, which may enable the Company to replace existing leases with new leases at market base rent, which may be higher or lower than the existing lease rate.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this Form 10-Q that are not in the present or past tense or discuss the Company’s expectations (including the use of the words anticipate, believe, forecast, intends, expects, project, or similar expressions) are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws and as such are based upon the Company’s current belief as to the outcome and timing of future events. Examples of forward-looking statements include projected capital resources, projected profitability and portfolio performance, estimates of market rental rates, projected capital improvements, expected sources of financing, expectations as to the timing of closing of acquisitions, dispositions, or other transactions, including the proposed purchase of the Hearst Tower and the TPG equity investment, and descriptions relating to these expectations. There can be no assurance that future developments affecting the Company will be those anticipated by the Company. These forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties (some of which are beyond the control of the Company) and are subject to change based upon various factors, including but not limited to the following risks and uncertainties: changes in the real estate industry and in performance of the financial markets; the demand for and market acceptance of the Company’s properties for rental purposes; the amount and growth of the Company’s expenses; tenant financial difficulties and general economic conditions, including interest rates, as well as economic conditions in those areas where the Company owns properties; risks associated with joint venture partners; the risks associated with the ownership and development of real property; the failure of the TPG transaction to close; the failure to acquire or sell properties (including Hearst Tower) as and when anticipated; termination of property management contracts; the bankruptcy or insolvency of companies for which Parkway provides property management services or the sale of these properties; the outcome of claims and litigation involving or affecting the Company; the ability to satisfy conditions necessary to close pending transactions; and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in the Company’s SEC filings. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties occur, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s business, financial condition, liquidity, cash flows and results could differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. Any forward looking statements speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict the occurrence of those matters or the manner in which they may affect us. The Company does not undertake to update forward-looking statements except as may be required by law.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

See information appearing under the caption “Liquidity” in Item 2, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

The Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Investment Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Chief Investment Officer concluded that at the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic SEC filings.

During the period covered by this report, the Company reviewed its internal controls, and there have been no changes in the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Apart from risk factors disclosed below, please refer to Item 1A-Risk Factors, in the 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a full description of risk factors previously disclosed.  The Company refers to itself as “we” or “our” in the following risk factor.

Our proposed transaction with TPG dilutes the interests of our common shareholders and grants important rights to TPG.  On May 3, 2012, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement to sell 4,300,000 shares of common stock and 13,477,778 shares of a newly authorized series of Series E Preferred Stock to TPG.  The Series E Preferred Stock will become convertible into shares of our common stock at an initial conversion ratio equal to one share of common stock per share of Series E Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment, if our stockholders approve such conversion as required by the New York Stock Exchange.  The investment equates to an initial ownership interest of approximately 43%, assuming the receipt of stockholder approval and the full conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock into our common stock.  Any sales in the public market of the shares of common stock could adversely affect prevailing market prices of our common stock.

The Series E Preferred Stock will participate in dividends declared and paid on the common stock.  Until it is converted into common stock, the dividend rate applicable to the Series E Preferred Stock will increase to (i) 8.0% per annum beginning 180 days after closing of the TPG transaction and continuing until the end of the second full calendar quarter after commencement of such dividend rate (during which time the Company may pay the dividends in kind by issuing additional shares of Series E Preferred Stock), (ii) 12% per annum beginning upon expiration of such period and continuing for four calendar quarters, and (iii) 15% per annum thereafter.  These dividends will be net of the amount of any Common Stock dividends received by the holders of Series E Preferred Stock during such periods.  To the extent that dividends are paid in kind by issuing additional shares of Series E Preferred Stock, this will further increase the ownership interest of TPG and further dilute the interests of the common stockholders.  In addition, if our stockholders do not approve the convertibility of the Series E Preferred Stock into shares of common stock by the fifth anniversary of the closing of the TPG transaction, any holder of Series E Preferred Stock will have the right to require us to purchase all but not less than all of such holder’s Series E Preferred Stock. To the extent that we do not redeem such holder’s shares on the redemption date (whether due to a lack of available funds or otherwise), dividends on the shares that remain outstanding will be increased by 3.0% per annum.

Furthermore, we have agreed to enter into a Stockholders Agreement pursuant to which we will grant certain rights to TPG that may restrain our ability to take certain actions in the future.

Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, we will agree to maintain a nine member Board of Directors and TPG will have the right to nominate a specified number of directors to the Board for so long as TPG’s level of ownership of the Company is equal to or greater than 5% of our outstanding Common Stock (assuming full conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock).  TPG will be entitled to nominate to the Board (i) four directors if TPG’s ownership is at least 40%, (ii) three directors if TPG’s ownership is at least 30%, but less than 40%, (iii) two directors if TPG’s ownership of the Company is at least 15% but less than 30%, and (iv) one director if TPG’s ownership of the Company is at least 5% but less than 15%. TPG will have no Board nomination rights if its level of ownership of the Company is less than 5%.  Each of the forgoing percentages refers to a percentage of our outstanding common stock, assuming full conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock.

In addition, we will agree to constitute each of its Board committees as a four member committee and (i) for so long as TPG’s level of ownership of the Company is equal to or greater than 22.5% of the outstanding common stock (assuming full conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock), TPG will have the right to have two Board members appointed to each committee of the Board, and (ii) for so long as TPG’s ownership of the Company is equal to or greater than 5% but less than 22.5% of the outstanding Common Stock (assuming full conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock), TPG will have the right to have one Board member appointed to each committee of the Board.  TPG will have no such committee appointment rights if its level of ownership of the Company is less than 5%.  Each of the forgoing percentages refers to a percentage of our outstanding common stock, assuming full conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock.

 
Page 41 of 43

 

Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, TPG also will have the right to consent to the following actions for so long as TPG’s level of ownership of the Company is equal to or greater than 22.5% of the outstanding common stock (assuming full conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock), other than in connection with any change in control of us: (i) any amendment to the governing documents of us or our subsidiaries in any manner adverse to TPG; (ii) any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of us; (iii) any voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency action, or any consent to any involuntary bankruptcy or similar proceeding; (iv) any decision for us not to elect to qualify as a real estate investment trust; (v) any increase or decrease in the size of the Board or any committee; and (vi) any change in the rights and responsibilities of either the Investment Committee of the Board or the Compensation Committee of the Board.

In addition, for so long as TPG's ownership percentage is equal to or greater than 22.5% (assuming full conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock), other than in connection with any change in control of us, the rights and responsibilities of the Investment Committee of the Board will include (i) except for certain permitted issuances relating to outstanding rights to purchase or acquire our capital stock, compensation arrangements and acquisition transactions, any sale or issuance of any capital stock or other security, (ii) any incurrence of indebtedness with a principal amount greater than $20 million, and (iii) any other matters over which the Investment Committee currently has approval authority.  During such period, the rights and responsibilities of the Compensation Committee of the Board will include (i) subject to the receipt of the approval of our stockholders with respect to such responsibility, the hiring or termination of any of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operations Officer or Chief Investments Officer, or any material change in any of the duties of any such executive officer, and (ii) any approval of future compensation arrangements for such officers.  During such period, the Board may not approve such matters without the affirmative approval of the Investment Committee or the Compensation Committee, as applicable.

There can be no assurance that the interests of TPG are aligned with that of our other stockholders. Investor interests can differ from each other and from other corporate interests and it is possible that this significant stockholder with a stake in corporate management may have interests that differ from us and those of other shareholders. If TPG were to sell, or otherwise transfer, all or a large percentage of their holdings, our stock price could decline and we could find it difficult to raise capital, if needed, through the sale of additional equity securities.

As permitted under the Company’s equity compensation plan, these shares were withheld by the Company to satisfy tax withholding obligations for employees in connection with the vesting of stock.  Shares withheld for tax withholding obligations do not affect the total number of shares available for repurchase under any approved common stock repurchase plan.  At March 31, 2012, the Company did not have an authorized stock repurchase plan in place.
