2. TRANSACTIONS WITH NORFOLK SOUTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY
On March 1, 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "RevenueCompany entered into a series of agreements and executed related transactions with Norfolk Southern Railway Company (“NS”) as follows:
Sold land to NS for $52.5 million.
Executed a Development Agreement with NS whereby the Company receives fees totaling $5.0 million in consideration for development services for NS’s corporate headquarters that has been constructed on the land sold to NS.
Executed a Consulting Agreement with NS whereby the Company receives fees totaling $32.0 million in consideration for consulting services for NS’s corporate headquarters. The Development Agreement and Consulting Agreement are collectively referred to below as the “Fee Agreements.”
Purchased a building from ContractsNS (“Promenade Central”) for $82.0 million subject to a three-year market rate lease with Customers." UnderNS that covered the new guidance, companies will recognize revenue whenentire building and expired December 31, 2021.
The Company sold the seller satisfiesland to NS for $5.0 million above its carrying amount, which included $37.0 million of land purchased in 2018, $6.5 million of land purchased in 2019, and $4.0 million of site preparation work. The Company purchased Promenade Central from NS for an amount it determined to be $10.3 million below the building’s fair value.

8


The Company determined that all contracts and transactions associated with NS should be combined for accounting purposes, and the amounts exchanged under the combined contracts should be allocated to the various components of the overall transaction at fair value or market value as discussed below. The Company determined that the purchase of Promenade Central should be recorded at fair value of $92.3 million. The Company determined that the lease with NS at the Promenade Central building was at market value under ASC 842. The land sale was accounted for under ASC 610-20, and no gain or loss was recorded on the derecognition of this non-financial asset as the fair value was determined to equal the carrying amount. Consideration related to various services provided to NS, and accounted for under ASC 606, was determined to be $52.3 million and represents the negotiated market value for the services agreed to by the Company and NS in the contracts. This amount included non-cash consideration of the $10.3 million discount on the purchase of Promenade Central as well as cash consideration of $5.0 million from the land sale contract (difference between fair value and contract amount), $5.0 million from the Development Agreement, and $32.0 million from the Consulting Agreement. Since all of the agreements and contracts above were executed for the purpose of delivering and constructing a corporate headquarters for NS and all of the services and deliverables are highly interdependent, the Company determined that the services represent a single performance obligation which would be when the buyer takesunder ASC 606.
The Company determined that control of the good or service. ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers,"services to be provided is being transferred over time and, thus, the Company must recognize the $52.3 million contract price in revenue as it satisfies the performance obligation. The Company determined that the inputs method of measuring progress of satisfying the performance obligation was subsequently issued modifying the effective date to periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard allows for either "full retrospective" adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or "modified retrospective" adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most recent period presentedappropriate method of recognizing revenue for the services component. Therefore, the Company began recognizing revenue in the financial statements. The Company expects to adopt this guidance effective January 1, 2018quarter ended March 31, 2019, and is in the process of analyzing the impact of the adoption of this guidance. Based on the results of this analysis to date, the Company believes that its management, development, and leasing fees from third parties and with its unconsolidated joint ventures, as well as parking revenue, will be impacted by the new standard. The new guidance specifically excludes revenue associated with lease contracts. However, the Company believes that certain non-lease components of revenue from leases may be impacted by the adoption of the new revenue standard beginning January 1, 2019, the effective date of the new leasing standard (see below). This new guidance could result in different amounts of revenue being recognized and could result in revenue being recognized in different reporting periods than under the current guidance; however, the Company expects that the majority of its non-lease revenues will continue to recognize revenue based upon the time spent by the Company’s employees in providing these services as compared to the total estimated time required to satisfy the performance obligation. During the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company recognized $1.4 million and $4.2 million in fee income in its consolidated statements of operations related to the services provided to NS. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, the Company recognized $2.2 million and $7.9 million in fee income in its consolidated statements of operations related to the services provided to NS. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had no deferred income related to NS included in the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had deferred income of $1.8 million related to NS included in the consolidated balance sheet. At June 30, 2022, $1.0 million was remaining to be recognized duringin revenue related to this performance obligation.
3. REAL ESTATE
Acquisitions
On March 12, 2021, a 95% owned consolidated joint venture acquired a 0.24 acre land parcel in Atlanta for a gross purchase price of $8.0 million.
On April 21, 2022, the periodsCompany purchased its partner's 10% joint venture interest in HICO Avalon, LLC and HICO Avalon II, LLC, which services are performed. The Company expects to adopt this guidance using the "modified retrospective" method effective January 1, 2018. The Company is still analyzing potential disclosures that will clearly identify the sources of revenue and the periods over which each is recognized.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, "Leases," which amends the existing standards for lease accounting by requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting and reporting. The new standard will require lessees to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months and classify such leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchaseconsisted of the leased asset by the lessee.8000 and 10000 Avalon office properties. This classification will determine whether the lease expense

8



is recognized based on an effective interest method (finance leases) or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (operating leases). Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases, and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 supersedes previous leasing standards. The guidance is effective for the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this guidance using the "modified retrospective" method effective January 1, 2019, and is currently assessing the potential impact of adopting the new guidance.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments" ("ASU 2016-15") which updated ASC Topic 230, "Statement of Cash Flows." ASU 2016-15 clarifies guidance on the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the statement of cash flows to reduce diversity in practice with respect to (i) debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs, (ii) settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments or other debt instruments with coupon interest rates that are insignificant in relation to the effective interest rate of the borrowing, (iii) contingent consideration payments made after a business combination, (iv) proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, (v) proceeds from the settlement of corporate-owned life insurance policies, including bank-owned life insurance policies, (vi) distributions received from equity method investees, (vii) beneficial interests in securitization transactions, and (viii) separately identifiable cash flows and application of the predominance principle. ASU 2016-15 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of 2018 and expects that the adoption of this standard will change the classification of cash flows from its equity method investments.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, "Restricted Cash" ("ASU 2016-18") which updated ASC Topic 230, "Statement of Cash Flows." ASU 2016-18 will require companies to include restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this standard in the fourth quarter of 2018, which willtransaction did not result in a change in the presentation of cashcontrol and cash equivalents on the statements of cash flows.
Effective January 1, 2017, the Company adopted ASU 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." Under this ASU, the additional paid-in capital pool is eliminated, and an entity recognizes all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement. This ASU also eliminated the requirement to defer recognition of an excess tax benefit until all benefits are realized through a reduction to taxes payable. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company changed the treatment of excess tax benefits as operating cash flows in the statement of cash flows. This ASU also stipulates that cash payments to tax authorities in connection with shares withheld to meet statutory tax withholding requirements be presented as a financing activity in the statement of cash flows. This ASU was adopted prospectively effective January 1, 2017; therefore, prior periods have not been restated to conform to the current period presentation.
In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, "Clarifying the Definition of a Business," which provides a more narrow definition of a business to be used in determining the accounting treatment of an acquisition. As a result, many acquisitions that previously qualified as business combinations will be treated as asset acquisitions. For asset acquisitions, acquisition costs may be capitalized, andany difference between the purchase price may be allocated onof $43.4 million, which included a relativepromote to our partner related to increases in fair value basis. ASU 2017-01in excess of cost, and the $15.7 million book value of the outside partner's non-controlling interest is effective prospectively forrecorded as additional paid in capital in the equity section of the Company's consolidated balance sheet. The Company's consolidated basis in Avalon's assets and liabilities was unchanged by this transaction.
Dispositions
On April 7, 2021, the Company on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects that most of its future acquisitions will qualify as asset acquisitions.
In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, “Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets” (“ASU 2017-05”). ASU 2017-05 updates the definition of an “in substance nonfinancial asset” and clarifies the derecognition guidance for nonfinancial assets to conform with the new revenue recognition standard. The Company is currently assessing the potential impact that the adoption of ASU 2017-05 will have on its consolidated financial statements. This ASU is effective for interim and annual reporting periodssold Burnett Plaza in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company expects to adopt this guidance using the "modified retrospective" method effective January 1, 2018.
In May 2017, FASB issued ASU 2017-09, "Scope of Modification Accounting," which amends the scope of modification accounting for share-based payment arrangements and provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of share-based payment awards to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718. This update is effective for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company expects to adopt this standard on January 1, 2018. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this standard will have a material impact on its financial statements.
2. REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS
On June 15, 2017, the American Cancer Society Center (the “ACS Center”), a 996,000 square foot office building in Atlanta, Georgia that was included in the Company's Atlanta/Office operating segment, was soldFort Worth for a gross sales price of $166.0 million.$137.5 million and recorded a loss of $19,000.

Impairment
The Company recognizedtests buildings held for investment, by disposal groups, for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate a net gain of $119.8 million ondisposal group’s carrying value may not be recoverable. The test is conducted using undiscounted cash flows for the saleshorter of the ACS Center. The associated debt was repaid onbuilding’s estimated hold period or its remaining useful life. When testing for recoverability of value of buildings held for investment, projected cash flows are used over its expected hold period. If the dateexpected hold period includes some likelihood of sale.shorter-term hold period from a potential sale, the probability of a sale is layered into the analysis. If any building's held-for-investment analysis were to fail the impairment test, its book value would be written down to its then current estimated fair value, before any selling expense, and that building would continue to depreciate over its remaining useful life. None of the Company’s held-for-investment buildings were impaired during any periods presented in the accompanying statement of operations while under the held-for-investment classification.
The Company has decidedalso reviews held-for-sale assets, if any, for impairments. If book value is in excess of estimated fair value less estimated selling costs, we impair those assets to sell three properties totaling 1,038,000 square feetfair value less estimated selling costs. There were no held-for-sale buildings impaired during any periods presented in Orlando, Florida, and determined that these properties met the criteria for held for sale in October 2017. accompanying statements of operations.

The Company expects to sell these assetsalso reviews land and projects under development for impairment whenever changes in circumstances indicate the fourth quarter of 2017 or first quarter of 2018.

TheThrough May 2, 2022, the Company hashad a $500 million$1 billion senior unsecured line of credit (the "Credit Facility") that matureswas scheduled to mature on May 28, 2019.January 3, 2023. The Credit Facility may be expanded to $750 million at the election of the Company, subject to the receipt of additional commitments from the lenders and other customary conditions.
The Credit Facility containscontained financial covenants that require,required, among other things, the maintenance of an unencumbered interest coverage ratio of at least 2.00;1.75x; a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.50;1.50x; a secured leverage ratio of no more than 40%; and an overall leverage ratio of no more than 60%; and a minimum shareholders' equity in an amount equal to $1.0 billion, plus a portion of the net cash proceeds from certain equity issuances.. The Credit Facility also containscontained customary representations and warranties and affirmative and negative covenants, as well as customary events of default. The amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility may be accelerated upon the occurrence of any events of default.
The interest rate applicable to the Credit Facility varied according to the Company's leverage ratio and was, at the election of the Company, determined based on either (1) LIBOR plus a spread of between 1.05% and 1.45%, or (2) the greater of Bank of America's prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or the one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (the "Base Rate"), plus a spread of between 0.10% and 0.45%, based on leverage. The Company's Credit Facility provided for alternate interest rate calculations based on metrics other than LIBOR, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), if LIBOR was no longer widely available.
On May 2, 2022, the Company entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "New Facility") under which the Company may borrow up to $1 billion if certain conditions are satisfied. The New Facility recasts the Credit Facility by, among other things, extending the maturity date from January 3, 2023, to April 30, 2027, and reducing certain per annum variable interest rate spreads and other fees. The New Facility contains financial covenants consistent with those of the Credit Facility, with the exception of an increase in the secured leverage ratio to no more than 50%.
The interest rate applicable to the New Facility varies according to the Company’sCompany's leverage ratio and may, at the election of the Company, be determined based on either (1) the current London Interbank Offered RateDaily or Term SOFR, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% ("LIBOR"Adjusted SOFR") plusand a spread of between 1.10%0.90% and 1.45%1.40%, based on leverage or (2) the greater of Bank of America's prime rate, the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, Term SOFR, plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10% and 1.00%, or the one-month LIBOR plus 1.0% (the “Base Rate”)1.00%, plus a spread of between 0.10%0.00% and 0.45%0.40%, based on leverage.

Item 2.    Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of OperationsOperations.
Overview:Overview of 2022 Performance and Company and Industry Trends
Cousins Properties Incorporated ("Cousins") (and collectively, with its subsidiaries, the "Company," "we," "our," or "us") is a publicly traded (NYSE: CUZ), self-administered, and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. Cousins conducts substantially all of its business through Cousins Properties LP ("CPLP"). Cousins owns in excess of 99% of CPLP and consolidates CPLP. CPLP owns Cousins TRS Services LLC, a taxable entity that owns and manages its own real estate portfolio and performs certain real estate related services for other parties. Our core focusstrategy is on the acquisition, development, leasing, management, andto create value for our stockholders through ownership of Class-Athe premier urban office and mixed-use propertiesportfolio in Sunbeltthe Sun Belt markets, with a particular focus on Arizona, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina,Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Phoenix, Tampa, Dallas, and Texas. AsNashville. This strategy is based on a disciplined approach to capital allocation that includes asset acquisitions, selective development projects, and timely dispositions of September 30, 2017, our portfolio of real estate assets consisted of interests in 32 operating properties (31 office and one mixed use) containing 15.9 million square feet of space and four projects (three office and one mixed-use) under active development. We have a comprehensivenon-core assets. This strategy in placeis also based on a simple, platform, trophy assets,flexible, and opportunistic investments. This streamlined strategy enableslow-leveraged balance sheet that allows us to maintain a targeted, asset-specific approach to investing wherepursue compelling growth opportunities at the most advantageous points in the cycle. To implement this strategy, we seek to leverage our development skills, relationships, market knowledge, and operational expertise. We intend to generate returns and create value for stockholders through the continued lease-upstrong local operating platforms within each of our portfolio, throughmajor markets.
During the execution of our development pipeline, and through opportunistic investments in office and mixed-use projects within our core markets.
Wequarter, we leased or renewed 334,905588,000 square feet of office space, during the third quarterincluding 264,000 square feet of 2017. The weighted average net effective rent of thesenew and expansion leases, representing base45% of total leasing activity. Straight-line basis net rent less operating expense reimbursements and leasing costs, was $20.73 per square foot. Forfoot increased 27.2% for those leasesoffice spaces that were previously occupiedunder lease within the past year, net effective rent increased 16.9%.year. Same property net operating income (defined below) for consolidated properties and our share of unconsolidated properties increased by 1.3%decreased 2.2% between the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 2016.2021.
On May 2, 2022, we entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "New Facility") under which we may borrow up to $1 billion if certain conditions are satisfied. The New Facility recast the previous credit facility extending the maturity date from January 3, 2023 to April 30, 2027 and reducing certain per annum variable interest rate spreads and other fees, among other things.
On April 21, 2022, we purchased our partner's 10% joint venture interest in Avalon, which consists of both the 8000 and 10000 Avalon office properties. This transaction did not result in a change in control, and any difference between the purchase price of $43.4 million and the $15.7 million book value of the outside partner's non-controlling interest on our consolidated balance sheet is recorded in additional paid in capital in the equity section of our balance sheet. The consolidated basis in Avalon's assets and liabilities will remain unchanged from this transaction.
On June 30, 2022, one of our unconsolidated joint ventures sold a 3.0 acre land parcel in Uptown Dallas. Our share of the gain from the transaction was $4.5 million and is included in income from unconsolidated joint ventures in our consolidated statements of operations.
As noted above, we continue to execute new, renewal, and expansion leases with net rent increases during this current period of several socio-economic challenges. As it relates to the lingering COVID-19 pandemic specifically, our buildings and parking facilities have remained open for business, while the usage of our assets remains lower than pre-pandemic levels. Ongoing usage of our assets could also be negatively impacted by customer behavior, such as the social acceptance and perceived economic benefits of hybrid work arrangements. Policies and practices of employers regarding these arrangements continue to evolve, but we believe our customers will prioritize a culture that fosters collaboration, innovation, and productivity and that our customers will accordingly expect their employees to be present in person on a more consistent basis within our high-quality and well-amenitized properties. Although difficult to estimate, we currently expect usage will gradually increase throughout the remainder of 2022, and this is expected to result in increases in parking revenue as well as increases in certain operating expenses. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations are set forth under "Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements."

We use Net Operating Income ("NOI"), a non-GAAP financial measure, to assess the operating performance of our properties. NOI is also widely used by industry analysts and investors to evaluate performance. NOI, which is rental property revenues (excluding termination fees) less rental property operating expenses, excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property's results of operations. Certain items, such as interest expense, while included in net income, do not affect the operating performance of a real estate asset and are often incurred at the corporate level as opposed to the property level. As a result, we use only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level to evaluate a property's performance. Depreciation, amortization, and impairment are also excluded from NOI. Same Property NOI allows analysts, investors, and management to analyze continuing operations and evaluate the growth trend of our portfolio.

Net operating incomeIncome from unconsolidated joint ventures increased $3.4 million (16.5%) between the nine2022 and 2021 three and six month periods primarily due to a change in the partnership structure at Gateway Village whereby we began receiving 50% of cash flows versus a preferred return, effective December 1, 2016, and the addition of Courvoisier Centre which was acquired in the Merger. These increases were offset by the sale of properties owned by EPI, LLC and EPII, LLC ("Emory Point I and II") in the second quarter 2017. Other income increased $1.3 million between the nine month periods primarily as a result of lease termination fees recognized at the Terminus 200 and 111 West Rio buildings and as a result of the sale of mineral rights at CL Realty. The decrease in depreciation and amortization between the three month periods results from the Emory Point I and II sales, offset by increases resulting from the Gateway Village revised structure and the addition of Courvoisier Centre. Depreciation and amortization increased $777,000 between the nine month periods from the Gateway Village revised structure and the addition of Courvoisier. The gain on sale of depreciated property of $34.3 million resulted from the sale of Emory Point I and IIa 3.0 acre land parcel in the second quarter 2017, lessUptown Dallas in June 2022 partially offset by a $3.5 million loss on the purchase of the remaining 25.4% interestdecrease in the 111 West Rio building and the related consolidation of the building immediately following the purchase.
Gain (Loss) on Sale of Investment Properties

The gain on the sale of investment properties in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 relates primarilynet operating income due to the sale of the American Cancer Society Center (the “ACS Center”). The gain on sale of investment propertiesour interest in the nine months endedDimensional Place joint venture in September 30, 2016 relates to the sale of 100 North Point Center East.
Discontinued Operations
Discontinued operations in 2016 contains the operations of Post Oak Central and Greenway Plaza (the "Houston Properties"), the properties that were included in the Spin-Off. Because we decided to exit the Houston market in connection with the Parkway Transactions, the Spin-Off represented a strategic shift that had a significant impact on our operations. As such, the Spin-Off of these properties qualified for discontinued operations treatment. Accordingly, the operations of the Houston Properties have been reclassified into discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016.2021.
Funds From Operations
The table below shows Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and the related reconciliation to net income available to common stockholders. We calculate FFO in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts’ (“NAREIT”)Nareit definition, which is net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding extraordinary items, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, and gains on sale or impairment losses on depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis.
FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental measure of a REIT’s operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREITNareit created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from GAAP net income. The use of FFO, combined with the required primary GAAP presentations, has been fundamentally
25


beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Company management evaluates operating performance, in part, based on FFO. Additionally, we use FFO, along with other measures, to assess performance in connection with evaluating and granting incentive compensation to itsour officers and other key employees.
The reconciliation of net income to FFO is as follows for the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 20162021 (in thousands, except per share information):

Net Operating Income


Company management evaluates the performance of its property portfolio, in part, based on NOI. NOI represents rental property revenues, less termination fees, less rental property operating expenses. NOI is not a measure of cash flows or operating results as measured by GAAP, is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. All companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. The Company considersWe consider NOI to be an appropriate

23



supplemental measure to net income as it helps both management and investors understand the core operations of the Company'sour operating assets. NOI excludes corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairments, gains/loss on sales of real estate, and other non-operating items.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary short-term and long-term liquidity needs include the following:
property and land acquisitions;
expenditures on development and redevelopment projects;
building improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing costs;
principal and interest payments on indebtedness;
general and administrative costs; and
operating partnership distributions and common stock dividends.dividends and distributions to outside unitholders of CPLP.
We may satisfy these needs with one or more of the following:
cash and cash equivalents on hand;
net cash from operations;
proceeds from the sale of assets;
borrowings under our Credit Facility;
proceeds from mortgage notes payable;
proceeds from construction loans;
proceeds from unsecured loans;
proceeds from offerings of debt or equity securities; and
joint venture formations.
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, we had no amounts drawn under our Credit Facility and $1.0$306.0 million drawn under our letters of credit,the New Facility with the ability to borrow an additional $499.0the remaining $694.0 million, underas well as $4.1 million of cash and cash equivalents. We expect to have sufficient liquidity to meet our Credit Facility.obligations for the foreseeable future.
In April 2017, we closed a $350 million private placement of senior unsecured notes, which were funded in two tranches. The first tranche of $100 million was funded in April 2017, has a 10-year maturity, and has a fixed annual interest rate of 4.09%. The second tranche of $250 million was funded in July 2017, has an 8-year maturity, and has a fixed annual interest rate of 3.91%. We used the proceeds from the private placement to repay mortgages scheduled to mature during 2017.
In April 2017, we repaid in full, without penalty, the $128.0 million One Eleven Congress mortgage note and the $101.0 million San Jacinto Center mortgage note. In May 2017, we repaid in full, without penalty, the $52.0 million Two Buckhead Plaza mortgage note. In July 2017, we repaid in full, without penalty, the $77.9 million 3344 Peachtree mortgage note. We used the proceeds from the sales of the ACS Center, Emory Point I, and Emory Point II to repay the associated mortgages.

In addition, we have several standing or renewable service contracts mainly related to the operation of buildings. These contracts are in the ordinary course of business and are generally one year or less. These contracts are not included in the above table and are usually reimbursed in whole or in part by tenants.
Other Debt Information
On May 2, 2022, we entered into a Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the "New Facility") under which we may borrow up to $1 billion if certain conditions are satisfied. The New Facility recasts the Credit Facility by, among other things, extending the maturity date to April 30, 2027 and reducing certain variable interest rate spreads and other fees. See note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
In June 2021, we entered into an Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement (the "Term Loan") that amended the former term loan agreement. Under the Term Loan, we have borrowed $350 million that matures on August 30, 2024, with options to, on up to four successive occasions, extend the maturity date for an additional 180 days. See note 7 of Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information.
Our existing mortgage debt is primarilycomprised of non-recourse, fixed-rate mortgage notes secured by various real estate assets. We expect to either refinance our non-recourse mortgage loans at maturity or repay the mortgage loans with other capital resources, including our credit facility, unsecured debt, non-recourse mortgages, construction loans, the sale of assets, joint venture equity, the issuance of common stock, the issuance of preferred stock, or the issuance of units of CPLP. Many of our non-recourse mortgages contain covenants which,that, if not satisfied, could result in acceleration of the maturity of the debt. We expect to either refinance the non-recourse mortgages at maturity or repay the mortgages with proceeds from asset sales, debt, or other capital sources.resources. We are in compliance with all covenants of our existing non-recourse mortgages, New Facility, unsecured senior notes, and $350 million unsecured term loan.
72% of our debt bears interest at a fixed rate. Some of our variable-interest debt instruments, including our Term Loan, may use LIBOR as a benchmark for establishing the rate. The London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") has been the subject of regulatory guidance and proposals for reform, and in July 2017, the United Kingdom's Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA") (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. In March 2021, the FCA announced that it now intends to cease the US dollar LIBOR setting on June 30, 2023. These reforms may cause LIBOR to no longer be provided or to perform differently than in the past. Recent proposals for LIBOR reforms may result in the establishment of new methods of calculating LIBOR or the establishment of one or more alternative benchmark rates. Effective with the recast mentioned above, our New Facility now uses the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as a benchmark rate in calculating interest. If LIBOR is no longer widely available, or otherwise at our option, our variable-interest debt instruments, including our Term Loan, provide for alternate interest rate calculations, based on metrics other than LIBOR, including the SOFR.
There can be no assurances as to what alternative interest rates may be and whether such interest rates will be more or less favorable than LIBOR and any other unforeseen impacts of the potential discontinuation of LIBOR. We intend to continue monitoring the developments with respect to the planned phasing out of US dollar LIBOR after 2023 and work with our lenders to ensure any transition away from LIBOR will have minimal impact on our financial condition but can provide no assurances regarding the impact of the discontinuation of LIBOR.
Future Capital Requirements
OverTo meet capital requirements for future investment activities over the long term,long-term, we intend to actively manage our portfolio of properties and strategically sell assets to generate capital for future investment activities.exit our non-core holdings and reposition our portfolio. We expect to continue to utilize cash retained from operations, as well as third-party sources of capital such as indebtedness, to fund future commitments as well as utilize construction facilities for some development assets, if available and under appropriate terms.
We may also seek equitygenerate capital and capital from joint venture partners to implement our strategy.through the issuance of securities that include common or preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, depository shares, or the issuance of CPLP limited partnership units.
Our business model is dependent uponalso includes raising or recycling capital, to meetwhich can assist in meeting obligations and to fundfunding development and acquisition activity. If one or more sources of capital are not available when required, we may be forced to reduce the number of projects we acquire or develop and/or raise capital on potentially unfavorable terms, or we may be unable to raise capital, which could have an adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities(142,551) 107,390
 (249,941)

The reasons for significant increases and decreases in cash flows between the periods are as follows:
Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Cash flows fromprovided by operating activities increased $75.7decreased $10.0 million between the 20172022 and 2016 nine2021 six month periods primarily due to an increasetiming of receipt of prepaid rents from tenants and a decrease in cash generated from property operations as a result of the Merger and an increase inprovided by operating distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures offsetdriven by an increasethe sale of our interest in cash interest paid between the periods.Dimensional Fund Advisors joint venture in July 2021.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Cash flows fromused in investing activities increased $105.5$229.7 million between the 20172022 and 2016 nine month periods primarily due to proceeds from the ACS Center sale, offset by an increase in property acquisition, development, and tenant asset expenditures. These increases were also impacted by larger contributions to and increased distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures which are primarily related to the sale of Emory Point I and II.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Cash flows from financing activities decreased $249.9 million between the 2017 and 2016 nine2021 six month periods primarily due to the repayment2021 sale of Burnett Plaza, 2022 redevelopment activity at two of our operating properties, including a full building redevelopment of Promenade Central; pro-rata contributions to the Neuhoff Holdings LLC joint venture to fund the development of the Neuhoff mixed use project that commenced in third quarter 2021; the purchase of our partner's 10% interest in the Avalon office properties in April 2022; and a first quarter 2021 pro-rata distribution of proceeds from a mortgage notes payablenote issuance from our Carolina Square Holdings LP joint venture.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Cash flows provided by financing activities increased $229.9 million between the 2022 and 2021 six month periods primarily due to the settlement of forward contracts sold under our Equity Distribution Agreement known as at-the-market stock offering program ("ATM program") and an increase in payments under the credit facility, offset by the proceeds from the common stock equity offering and increase in notes payable between the periods.net borrowings on our New Facility.
Capital Expenditures. We incur costs related to our real estate assets that include acquisition of properties, development of new properties, redevelopment of existing or newly purchased properties, leasing costs (including tenant improvements) for new or replacement tenants, and ongoing property repairs and maintenance.
Capital expenditures for assets we develop or acquire and then hold and operate are included in the property acquisition, development, and tenant asset expenditures line item within investing activities on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Amounts accrued are removed from the table below (accrued capital adjustment) to show the components of these costs on a cash basis. Components of costs included in this line item for the ninethree and six months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172022 and 20162021 are as follows (in thousands):

The amounts of tenant improvement and leasing costs for our office portfolio on a per square foot basis for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
 Nine Months Ended September 30,
 2017 201620222021
New leases $6.98 $7.13New leases$11.86$8.52
Renewal leases $4.21 $4.07Renewal leases$7.17$6.66
Expansion leases $6.36 $6.48Expansion leases$9.17$11.13
The amounts of tenant improvement and leasing costs on a per square foot basis vary by lease and by market. Given the level of expected leasing and renewal activity, management expects tenant improvements and leasing costs per square foot in future periods to remain consistent with those experienced in the first nine months of 2017.
Dividends. We paid common dividends of $74.0$93.7 million and $50.5$90.6 million in the 2017six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2016 nine month periods,2021, respectively. We funded the common dividends with cash provided by operating activities. We expect to fund our future quarterly common dividends with cash provided by operating activities, also using proceeds from investment property sales, distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures, indebtedness, and indebtedness,proceeds from offerings of equity securities, if necessary.
On a quarterly basis, we review the amount of the common dividend in light of current and projected future cash flows from the sources noted above and also consider the requirements needed to maintain our REIT status. In addition, we have certain covenants under credit agreements whichthat could limit the amount of common dividends paid. In general, common dividends of any amount can be paid as long as leverage, as defined in our credit agreements, is less than 60% and we are not in default. Certain conditions also apply in which we can still pay common dividends if leverage is above that amount. We routinely monitor the status of our common dividend payments in light of the covenants of our credit agreements.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
General. We have a number of off balance sheet joint ventures with varying structures, as described in note 68 of our 20162021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and note 4 of this Form 10-Q. The joint ventures in which we have an interest are involved in the ownership, acquisition, and/or development of real estate. A venture will fund capital requirements or operational needs with cash from operations or financing proceeds, if possible. If additional capital is deemed necessary, a venture may request a contribution from the partners, and we will evaluate such request.
Debt. At SeptemberJune 30, 2017,2022, our unconsolidated joint ventures had aggregate outstanding indebtedness to third parties of $444.8$239.4 million. These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans, most of which are non-recourse to us except as described in the paragraph below.us. In addition, in certain instances, we provide “non-recourse carve-out guarantees” on these non-recourse loans. Certain of these loans have variable interest rates, which creates exposure to the ventures in the form of market risk from interest rate changes.
We guarantee 12.5% of the loan amount related to the Carolina Square construction loan, which has a lending capacity of $79.8 million, and an outstanding balance of $62.2 million as of September 30, 2017. At September 30, 2017, we guaranteed $7.8 million of the amount outstanding.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2021.

Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
Our primary exposure to market risk results from our debt, which bears interest at both fixed and variable rates. We attempt to mitigate this risk by limiting our debt exposureThere have been no material changes in total and our maturities in any one year and weighting more towards fixed-rate debt in our portfolio. The fixed rate debt obligations limit the risk of fluctuating interest rates, and generally are mortgage loans secured by certain of our real estate assets and senior unsecured loans. At September 30, 2017 we had $850.9 million of fixed rate debt outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 3.86%. At December 31, 2016, we had $994.7 million of fixed rate debt outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 4.87%. The amount of fixed-rate debt outstanding decreased and the weighted average interest rate decreased from December 31, 2016 to September 30, 2017 as a result of repayment of mortgage notes payable, repayments on our credit facility and the issuance of senior unsecured notes at lower rates. See note 7 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding 2017 debt activity.
At September 30, 2017, we had $250.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding, which consisted of a $250.0 million term loan with an interest rate of 2.43%. At December 31, 2016, we had $384.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding, which consisted of the Credit Facility with an outstanding balance of $134.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 1.87% and a $250.0 million term loan with a weighted average interest rate of 1.97%. Based on our average variable rate debt balances in the nine months ended September 30, 2017, interest incurred would have increased by $2.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 if these interest rates had been 1% higher.
The following table summarizes ourthe market risk associated with our notes payable at June 30, 2022 compared to that as of September 30, 2017. It includes the principal maturing, an estimate of the weighted average interest rates on those expected principal maturity dates and the fair values of the Company’s fixed and variable rate notes payable. Fair value was calculated by discounting future principal payments at estimated rates at which similar loans could have been obtained at September 30, 2017.
