1.    Description of Business and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business
 
Highwoods Properties, Inc. (the “Company”“Company”) is a fully integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”(“REIT”) that provides leasing, management, development, construction and other customer-related services for its properties and for third parties. The Company conducts its activities through Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”“Operating Partnership”). At March 31,June 30, 2020, we owned or had an interest in 28.1 million rentable square feet of in-service properties, 1.2 million rentable square feet of office properties under development and approximately 250225 acres of development land.
 
The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. At March 31,June 30, 2020, the Company owned all of the Preferred Units and 103.5 million, or 97.3%, of the Common Units in the Operating Partnership. Limited partners owned the remaining 2.8 million Common Units. During the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, the Company issued 118,592 Common Units to acquire real estate assets.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”(“GAAP”).

The Company’sCompany’s Consolidated Financial Statements include the Operating Partnership, wholly owned subsidiaries and those entities in which the Company has the controlling interest. The Operating Partnership’sPartnership’s Consolidated Financial Statements include wholly owned subsidiaries and those entities in which the Operating Partnership has the controlling interest. We consolidate joint venture investments, such as interests in partnerships and limited liability companies, when we control the major operating and financial policies of the investment through majority ownership, in our capacity as a general partner or managing member or through some other contractual right. We also consolidate those entities deemed to be variable interest entities in which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary. At March 31,June 30, 2020, we have involvement with, and are the primary beneficiary in, an entity that we concluded to be a variable interest entity (see Note 3).

In addition, during 2019, we acquired a building using a special purpose entity owned by a qualified intermediary to facilitate a potential Section 1031 reverse exchange under the Internal Revenue Code. To realize the tax deferral available under the Section 1031 exchange, we must complete the Section 1031 exchange, and take title to the to-be-exchanged building within 180 days of the acquisition date. We have determined that this entity is a variable interest entity of which we are the primary beneficiary and therefore, we consolidate this entity. As of March 31, 2020, this variable interest entity had total assets, liabilities and cash flows of $438.9 million, $21.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively. We completed the exchange by acquiring 100% of the special purpose entity on April 1, 2020. The assets of the special purpose entity can be used only to settle obligations of the special purpose entity and its creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets.

All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.
 
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information, in the opinion of management, contain all adjustments (including normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. We have condensed or omitted certain notes and other information from the interim Consolidated Financial Statements presented in this Quarterly Report as permitted by SEC rules and regulations. These Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.


Insurance
 
We are primarily self-insured for health care claims for participating employees. We have stop-loss coverage to limit our exposure to significant claims on a per claim and annual aggregate basis. We determine our liabilities for claims, including incurred but not reported losses, based on all relevant information, including actuarial estimates of claim liabilities. At March 31,June 30, 2020, a reserve of $0.6$0.5 million was recorded to cover estimated reported and unreported claims.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards
 
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”(“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”(“ASU”) that changes certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. We adopted the ASU as of January 1, 2020 with no material effect on our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The FASB issued an ASU that provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions to the guidance on contract modifications and hedge accounting to ease the financial reporting burdens related to the expected market transition from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”(“SOFR”). Entities can elect not to apply certain modification accounting requirements to contracts affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. An entity that makes this election would not have to remeasure the contracts at the modification date or reassess a previous accounting determination. Entities can also elect various optional expedients that would allow them to continue applying hedge accounting for hedging relationships affected by reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. The ASU can be applied from March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are in the process of evaluating this ASU; however, we currently expect to avail ourselves of such optional expedients and exceptions should our modified contracts meet the required criteria.

Due to the business disruptions and challenges severely affecting the global economy caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, lessors may provide rent deferrals and other lease concessions to lessees. In April 2020, the FASB staff issued a question and answer document (the “Lease“Lease Modification Q&A”&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under existing lease guidance, we would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated within the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A&A allows us, if certain criteria have been met, to bypass the lease by lease analysis, and instead elect to either apply the lease modification accounting framework or not, with such election applied consistently to leases with similar characteristics and similar circumstances. We arehave elected the practical expedient and will not apply lease modification accounting on a lease by lease basis where applicable. As a result, $5.0 million of deferred rent is included in the process of evaluating the Lease Modification Q&A.accounts receivable on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2020.

2.
Leases

We generally lease our office properties to lessees in exchange for fixed monthly payments that cover rent, property taxes, insurance and certain cost recoveries, primarily common area maintenance. Office properties owned by us that are under lease are primarily located in Atlanta, Charlotte, Nashville, Orlando, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Richmond and Tampa and are leased to a wide variety of lessees across many industries. Our leases are operating leases and mostly range from three to 10 years. We recognized rental and other revenues related to operating lease payments of $189.6$181.1 million and $180.7 million during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 of which and 2019, respectively, and $370.7 million and $350.1 million during the six months endedJune 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Included in these amounts are variable lease payments were $16.5 million.of $13.4 million and $16.4 million during the three months endedJune 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $29.8 million and $31.9 million during the six months endedJune 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

3.    Consolidated Variable Interest Entity
 
We and The Bromley Companies formed a joint venture (the “Midtown“Midtown One joint venture”venture”) to construct Midtown One, a 150,000 square foot, multi-customer office building located in the mixed-use Midtown Tampa project in Tampa’sTampa’s Westshore submarket. Midtown One has an anticipated total investment of $71.3 million.$71.3 million. Construction of Midtown One began in the third quarter of 2019 with a scheduled completion date in the second quarter of 2021. At closing, we agreed to contribute cash of $20.0$20.0 million (which was, which has been fully funded, as of March 31, 2020) in exchange for an 80.0% interest in the Midtown One joint venture and The Bromley Companies contributed land valued at $5.0$5.0 million in exchange for the remaining 20.0% interest. We also committed to provide a $46.3$46.3 million interest-only secured construction loan to the Midtown One joint venture that is scheduled to mature on the second anniversary of completion. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points.points. As of March 31,June 30, 2020 $2.2, $6.7 million under the loan has been funded.



18
Table of Contents

We determined that we have a variable interest in the Midtown One joint venture primarily because the entity was designed to pass along interest rate risk, equity price risk and operation risk to us as both a debt and an equity holder and The Bromley Companies as an equity holder. The Midtown One joint venture was further determined to be a variable interest entity as it requires additional subordinated financial support in the form of a loan because the initial equity investment provided by us and The Bromley Companies is not sufficient to finance its planned investments and operations. We, as majority owner and managing member and through our control rights as set forth in the joint venture’sventure’s governance documents, were determined to be the primary beneficiary as we have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entity (primarily lease rates, property operations and capital expenditures) and significant economic exposure through our equity investment and loan commitment. As such, the Midtown One joint venture is consolidated and all intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated. The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities of the Midtown One joint venture included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets:

The assets of the Midtown One joint venture can be used only to settle obligations of the joint venture and its creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets.

4.    Real Estate Assets
 
Acquisitions
 
During the second quarter of 2020, we acquired development land in Raleigh for a purchase price, including capitalized acquisition costs, of $2.3 million.

During the first quarter of 2020, we acquired development land in Nashville for a purchase price of $6.2$6.2 million, which consisted of the issuance of 118,592 Common Units and capitalized acquisition costs.

Dispositions

During the second quarter of 2020, we sold land in Atlanta for a sale price of $2.8 million and recorded a loss on disposition of property of $0.1 million. During the second quarter of 2020, we also recognized $0.4 million of gain related to the satisfaction of a performance obligation as part of a 2016 land sale.

During the first quarter of 2020, we sold 41 buildings and land in Greensboro and Memphis for an aggregate sale price of $338.4$338.4 million (before closing credits to buyer of $3.8 million)$3.8 million) and recorded aggregate gains on disposition of property of $153.1 million.$153.1 million.

Impairments

During the second quarter of 2020, we recorded an impairment of real estate assets of $1.8 million, which resulted from a change in market-based inputs and our assumptions about the use of the assets.

At March 31,June 30, 2020, our secured mortgage loan was collateralized by real estate assets with an undepreciated book value of $147.2 million.$147.4 million.
 
Our $600.0$600.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in January 2022 and includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional $400.0$400.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments. Assuming no defaults have occurred, we have an option to extend the maturity for 2 additional six-monthsix-month periods. The interest rate at our current credit ratings is LIBOR plus 100 basis points and the annual facility fee is 20 basis points. There was $87.0$14.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility at March 31, 2020.June 30, 2020. There were no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility at AprilJuly 21, 2020.2020. At both March 31,June 30, 2020 and AprilJuly 21, 2020, we had $0.1$0.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the availability on our revolving credit facility. As a result, the unused capacity of our revolving credit facility at March 31,June 30, 2020 and AprilJuly 21, 2020 was $512.9$585.9 million and $599.9$599.9 million, respectively.
 
We are currently in compliance with financial covenants with respect to our consolidated debt.
 
We have considered our short-term liquidity needs within one year from July 28, 2020 (the date of issuance of the quarterly financial statements) and the adequacy of our estimated cash flows from operating activities and other available financing sources to meet these needs. In particular, we have considered our scheduled debt maturities during such one-year period, including the $300.0 million principal amount of unsecured notes due June 15, 2021. We intend tohave concluded it is probable we will meet these short-term liquidity requirements through a combination of the following:

Derivative Financial Instruments

The counterparties under our swaps are major financial institutions. The swap agreements contain a provision whereby if we default on certain of our indebtedness and which default results in repayment of such indebtedness being, or becoming capable of being, accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our swaps.

Our interest rate swaps have been designated as and are being accounted for as cash flow hedges with changes in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income/(loss) each reporting period. We have no collateral requirements related to our interest rate swaps.
 
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our debt. During the period from AprilJuly 1, 2020 through March 31,June 30, 2021, we estimate that $0.4$0.5 million will be reclassified as a net increase to interest expense.

Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following summarizes the levels of inputs that we use to measure fair value.
 
Level 1.  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Our Level 1 asset is our investment in marketable securities that we use to pay benefits under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. Our Level 1 liability is our non-qualified deferred compensation obligation. The Company’sCompany’s Level 1 noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership relate to the ownership of Common Units by various individuals and entities other than the Company.

Level 2. Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets that are not active or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the related assets or liabilities.

Our Level 2 assets include the fair value of our mortgages and notes receivable. Our Level 2 liabilities include the fair value of our mortgages and notes payable and interest rate swaps.

The fair value of mortgages and notes receivable and mortgages and notes payable is estimated by the income approach utilizing contractual cash flows and market-based interest rates to approximate the price that would be paid in an orderly transaction

between market participants. The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts and the discounted expected variable cash payments. The variable cash payments of interest rate swaps are based on the expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observed market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are considered in the fair values to account for potential nonperformance risk, but were concluded to not be significant inputs to the calculation for the periods presented.

Level 3. Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
 
Our Level 3 assets include any real estate assets recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis as a result of our quarterly impairment analysis, which are valued using unobservable local and national industry market data such as comparable sales, appraisals, brokers’brokers’ opinions of value and/or the terms of definitive sales contracts. Significant increases or decreases in any valuation inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower or higher fair value measurement.

The Level 3 impaired real estate assets measured at a fair value of $2.1 million in the second quarter of 2020 include a non-core office building. The impairment resulted from a change in our assumptions about the use of the assets and was calculated using brokers’ opinions of value, letters of intent and comparable sales as observable inputs were not available.

Contingencies

During the first quarter and subsequently,Since early March 2020, efforts to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus have had a significant impact on the U.S. economy. We continue to follow the policies described in Notes 1 and 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements contained in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, including those related to impairments of real estate assets and investments in unconsolidated affiliates, leases and estimates of credit losses on operating lease receivables. While the results of our current analyses did not result in any material adjustments to amounts as of June 30, 2020and during the three and six months ended March 31,June 30, 2020, circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic may result in recording impairments, lease modifications and credit losses in future periods.

16.
Subsequent Events

On April 10,July 1, 2020, we sold land2 buildings in AtlantaMemphis for aan aggregate sale price of $2.8$23.3 million and expect to record a lossaggregate gains on disposition of property of $0.1 million.$9.3 million.

On April 16, 2020, we acquired development land in Raleigh for a purchase price, including capitalized acquisition costs, of $2.3 million.

On AprilJuly 28, 2020, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.48$0.48 per share of Common Stock, which is payable on June 8,September 9, 2020 to stockholders of record as of May 18,August 17, 2020.

See also Note 15 for information regarding the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in future periods. The severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting economic recession and the future demand for office space over the long-term are difficult to predict and could materially and adversely impact or disrupt our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts us and our customers will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic and the direct and indirectresulting economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures,recession and potential changes in customer behavior, among others. Additional factors, many of which may be influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements include:

•
the financial condition of our customers could deteriorate or further worsen;

•
our assumptions regarding potential losses related to customer financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic could prove incorrect;

•
counterparties under our debt instruments, particularly our revolving credit facility, may attempt to avoid their obligations thereunder, which, if successful, would reduce our available liquidity;

•
we may not be able to lease or re-lease second generation space, defined as previously occupied space that becomes available for lease, quickly or on as favorable terms as old leases;

•
we may not be able to lease newly constructed buildings as quickly or on as favorable terms as originally anticipated;

•
we may not be able to complete development, acquisition, reinvestment, disposition or joint venture projects as quickly or on as favorable terms as anticipated;

Executive Summary
 
Our Strategic Plan focuses on:
 
•
owning high-quality, differentiated office buildings in the BBDs of our core markets;

•
improving the operating results of our properties through concentrated leasing, asset management, cost control and customer service efforts;

•
developing and acquiring office buildings in BBDs that improve the overall quality of our portfolio and generate attractive returns over the long term for our stockholders;

•
disposing of properties no longer considered to be core assets primarily due to location, age, quality and/or overall strategic fit; and

•
maintaining a balance sheet with ample liquidity to meet our funding needs and growth prospects.

COVID-19

The unprecedented nationwide efforts to slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus have obviously had a significant impact on the U.S. economy. Most importantly, our hearts go out to the many who have suffered from this virus.

It is still too early to predict how deepwhen, if and how long itto what extent economic activity will take for U.S. businessesreturn to recover from the severe dislocations caused by the effective shutdown of large segments of our economy.pre-COVID-19 levels. While the COVID-19 pandemic did not have a meaningful impact on our firstsecond quarter of 2020 financial results, we believe it is likely our financial results for the remainder of 2020 will be adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Given the fluidity of the pandemic and its uncertain impact on economic activity, losses related to customer financial difficulties are difficult to predict.

This outlook reflects management’smanagement’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions such as potential losses related to customer financial difficulties and asset usage due to the COVID-19 pandemic, rental rates, occupancy levels, operating and general and administrative expenses, weighted average diluted shares outstanding and interest rates. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations are set forth under “Disclosure“Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.””

First, whileWhile all buildings and parking facilities have remained open for business, the usage of our assets in March and Aprilthe second quarter of 2020 was significantly lower than normal due to the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, parking and parking-related revenues were lower than normal during this period. In addition, our operating expenses, net of expense recoveries, were lower during this period due to reduced electricity, janitorial and other variable expenses. Until usage returns to normal, we expect that reduced usage will continue to result in reduced parking revenues, which will be only partially offset by reduced operating expenses. Usage of our assets for the remainder of 2020, however, depends on the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is difficult to estimate.

Second, givenGiven the COVID-19 pandemic, we have been experiencing and expect to continue to experience slower than originally anticipated speculative new leasing, which we expect will be partially offset by higher renewal activity. This would reduce our anticipated rental revenues. Because construction activities have generally been classified as essential activities throughout our markets during the COVID-19 pandemic, we do not currently expect meaningful delays in customers taking occupancy under recently-signed leases.

Third, weWe assume we will incur losses due to customers that default on their leases, file bankruptcy and/or otherwise experience significant financial difficulty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic (including $0.6$1.2 million recorded in the first quartersix months of 2020), consisting of credit losses of straight-line rent receivables and lower rent payments. Given the fluidity of the pandemic and its uncertain impact on economic activity, we cannot estimate such losses during the remainder of 2020. Generally, in cases where an otherwise viable, creditworthy customer has been able to demonstrate disruption due to the complete or partial shutdown of its business operations, we have agreed and/or may agree to defer, but not abate, the payment of rent for a limited period of time.

In other cases, we have agreed and/or may agree to abate rent for a limited period of time as consideration for a lease term extension.

Table of Contents

The extent of any losses will depend on whether or not the collectability of future rents from customers experiencing financial difficulty is deemed to be probable under GAAP. We are hopeful that customers experiencing financial difficulty will be eligible for government assistance, such as the Small Business Administration (“SBA”) paycheck protection program under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act that offers forgivable loans that can be partially used for rent obligations. Through AprilJuly 21, 2020, we have collected 95%99% of our contractually required rents for the month of AprilJuly and are not currently aware of any customer-specific facts or circumstances that indicate a likelihood of any material losses at this point during the secondthird quarter of 2020. To date, we have agreed to grant temporary rent deferrals that represent 1.2% of our annualized rental revenues. In most cases, these deferrals represent approximately two months of a customer’s rent and is expected to be repaid to us prior to the end of 2021.

For a discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our liquidity and balance sheet, see “Liquidity“Liquidity and Capital Resources”Resources” below.

We currently have 398 full-time employees, down from 431 at December 31, 2019 due to the closure of our Greensboro and Memphis offices during the first quarter of 2020 upon completion of the first phase of our market rotation plan. The few employees and dependents who tested positive for COVID-19 have fully recovered.Revenues

We have actively encouraged and supported employees who can work from home to do so. Employees who cannot work from home, such as maintenance and HVAC technicians, have collaborated with each other and our respective local leadership teams regarding local solutions to handle essential property-related tasks. Since COVID-19 was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization, we have provided paid sick and family leave to all employees who have exhibited or been exposed to a person who has exhibited COVID-19-type symptoms or have stayed at home to care for a family member, including parents with a minor child whose school has cancelled classes or transitioned to virtual teaching due to COVID-19.

Revenues

Our operating results depend heavily on successfully leasing and operating the office space in our portfolio. Economic growth and office employment levels in our core markets are important factors, among others, in predicting our future operating results.
 
The key components affecting our rental and other revenues are average occupancy, rental rates, cost recovery income, new developments placed in service, acquisitions and dispositions. Average occupancy generally increases during times of improving economic growth, as our ability to lease space outpaces vacancies that occur upon the expirations of existing leases. Average occupancy generally declines during times of slower or negative economic growth, when new vacancies tend to outpace our ability to lease space. Asset acquisitions, dispositions and new developments placed in service directly impact our rental revenues and could impact our average occupancy, depending upon the occupancy rate of the properties that are acquired, sold or placed in service. A further indicator of the predictability of future revenues is the expected lease expirations of our portfolio. As a result, in addition to seeking to increase our average occupancy by leasing current vacant space, we also concentrate our leasing efforts on renewing existing leases prior to expiration. For more information regarding our lease expirations, see “Properties“Properties - Lease Expirations”Expirations” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Occupancy in our office portfolio decreased from 92.0% at December 31, 2019 to 90.9%91.1% at March 31, 2020.June 30, 2020. Without the fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its uncertain impact on economic activity, we would expect average occupancy for our office portfolio to be approximately 90% to 91% for the remainder of 2020. However, average occupancy will be lower, perhaps significantly lower, if the COVID-19 pandemic causes vacancies and move-outs due to customers that default on their leases, file bankruptcy and/or otherwise experience significant financial difficulty.


Whether or not our rental revenue tracks average occupancy proportionally depends upon whether GAAP rents under signed new and renewal leases are higher or lower than the GAAP rents under expiring leases. Annualized rental revenues from second generation leases expiring during any particular year are typically less than 15% of our total annual rental revenues. The following table sets forth information regarding second generation office leases signed during the firstsecond quarter of 2020 (we define second generation office leases as leases with new customers and renewals of existing customers in office space that has been previously occupied under our ownership and leases with respect to vacant space in acquired buildings):

Weighted average per rentable square foot on an annual basis over the lease term.

Annual combined GAAP rents for new and renewal leases signed in the firstsecond quarter were $27.12$28.85 per rentable square foot, 13.6%higher compared to previous leases in the same office spaces.

We strive to maintain a diverse, stable and creditworthy customer base. We have an internal guideline whereby customers that account for more than 3% of our revenues are periodically reviewed with the Company’sCompany’s Board of Directors. As of March 31,June 30, 2020, no customer accounted for more than 3% of our cash revenues other than the Federal Government and Bank of America, which accounted for 4.9% and 3.7%3.9%, respectively, of our cash revenues on an annualized basis. Upon stabilization of the MetLife

33
Table of Contents

III development project in Raleigh, it is expected that MetLife will account for approximately 3.3% of our revenues based on annualized cash revenues for March 2020.June 2020.

Expenses
 
Our expenses primarily consist of rental property expenses, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. From time to time, expenses also include impairments of real estate assets. Rental property expenses are expenses associated with our ownership and operation of rental properties and include expenses that vary somewhat proportionately to occupancy levels, such as janitorial services and utilities, and expenses that do not vary based on occupancy, such as property taxes and insurance. Depreciation and amortization is a non-cash expense associated with the ownership of real property and generally remains relatively consistent each year, unless we buy, place in service or sell assets, since our properties and related building and tenant improvement assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over fixed lives. General and administrative expenses consist primarily of management and employee salaries and benefits, corporate overhead and short and long-term incentive compensation.

Net Operating Income

Whether or not we record increasing net operating income (“NOI”(“NOI”) in our same property portfolio typically depends upon our ability to garner higher rental revenues, whether from higher average occupancy, higher GAAP rents per rentable square foot or higher cost recovery income, that exceed any corresponding growth in operating expenses. Same property NOI was $12.1$3.4 million, or 11.9%3.1%, higher in the firstsecond quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019 due to an increasea decrease of $3.8 million in same property revenues of $13.2 millionexpenses offset by an increasea decrease of $1.1$0.4 million in same property expenses. Same property revenues were higher primarily due to higher average GAAP rents per rentable square foot, higher cost recovery income, higher parking income and no credit losses and write-offs associated with Laser Spine Institute. See “Results of Operations - Three Months Ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 - Laser Spine Institute.”revenues. Without the fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its uncertain impact on economic activity, we would expect same property NOI to be higher for the remainder of 2020 as compared to 2019 as higher rental revenues, mostly because higher average GAAP rents per rentable square foot, would be expected to more than offset an anticipated increase in same property operating expenses, particularly higher property taxes. However, same property NOI will be negatively impacted if the COVID-19 pandemic causes losses related to customer difficulties or slower than originally anticipated speculative new leasing. As a result, we cannot estimate whether same property NOI for the remainder of 2020 will be higher or lower as compared to 2019.


In addition to the effect of same property NOI, whether or not NOI increases typically depends upon whether the NOI from our acquired properties and development properties placed in service exceeds the NOI from property dispositions. NOI was $18.8$4.5 million, or 16.8%3.7%, higher in the firstsecond quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019 due to the increase inacquisitions, higher same property NOI acquisitions and development properties placed in service, partly offset by NOI lost from property dispositions. We expect NOI to be lower for the remainder of 2020 as compared to 2019 due to NOI lost from property dispositions, partly offset by acquisitions and development properties placed in service and higher same property NOI.service. Like with same property NOI, NOI will be further negatively impacted if the COVID-19 pandemic causes losses related to customer difficulties or slower than originally anticipated speculative new leasing.

Cash Flows

In calculating net cash related to operating activities, depreciation and amortization, which are non-cash expenses, are added back to net income. We have historically generated a positive amount of cash from operating activities. From period to period, cash flow from operations depends primarily upon changes in our net income, as discussed more fully below under “Results“Results of Operations,”” changes in receivables and payables and net additions or decreases in our overall portfolio.

Net cash related to investing activities generally relates to capitalized costs incurred for leasing and major building improvements and our acquisition, development, disposition and joint venture activity. During periods of significant net acquisition and/or development activity, our cash used in such investing activities will generally exceed cash provided by investing activities, which typically consists of cash received upon the sale of properties and distributions from our joint ventures.

Net cash related to financing activities generally relates to distributions, incurrence and repayment of debt, and issuances, repurchases or redemptions of Common Stock, Common Units and Preferred Stock. We use a significant amount of our cash to fund distributions. Whether or not we have increases in the outstanding balances of debt during a period depends generally upon the net effect of our acquisition, disposition, development and joint venture activity. We generally use our revolving credit facility for daily working capital purposes, which means that during any given period, in order to minimize interest expense, we may record significant repayments and borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

For a discussion regarding dividends and distributions, see “Liquidity“Liquidity and Capital Resources - Dividends and Distributions.””

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We continue to maintain a conservative and flexible balance sheet. We believe we have ample liquidity. As of AprilJuly 21, 2020, we had approximately $24$6 million of existing cash and zero drawn on our $600 million revolving credit facility, which is scheduled to mature in January 2022. Assuming we are in compliance with our covenants, we have an option to extend the maturity for two additional six-month periods. At March 31,June 30, 2020, our leverage ratio, as measured by the ratio of our mortgages and notes payable and outstanding preferred stock to the undepreciated book value of our assets, was 37.7%36.8% and there were 106.7 million diluted shares of Common Stock outstanding.

Rental and other revenues are our principal source of funds to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. Other sources of funds for short-term liquidity needs include available working capital and borrowings under our revolving credit facility, which had $599.9$599.9 million of availability at AprilJuly 21, 2020.2020. Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses, interest and principal amortization on our debt, distributions and capital expenditures, including building improvement costs, tenant improvement costs and lease commissions. Building improvements are capital costs to maintain or enhance existing buildings not typically related to a specific customer. Tenant improvements are the costs required to customize space for the specific needs of customers. We anticipate that our available cash and cash equivalents and cash provided by operating activities and planned financing activities, including borrowings under our revolving credit facility, will be adequate to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. We use our revolving credit facility for working capital purposes and for the short-term funding of our development and acquisition activity and, in certain instances, the repayment of other debt. Continued ability to borrow under the revolving credit facility allows us to quickly capitalize on strategic opportunities at short-term interest rates.
 
Subject to potential losses in the remainder of 2020 related to customer financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we generally believe existing cash and rental and other revenues will continue to be sufficient to fund short-term liquidity needs such as funding operating and general and administrative expenses, paying interest expense, maintaining our existing quarterly dividend and funding existing portfolio capital expenditures, including building improvement costs, tenant improvement costs and lease commissions. We have delayedFor the full year of 2020, such existing portfolio capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $10$15 million of building improvement projects, including property-enhancing upgrades such to $25 million lower as lobby and restroom renovations, originally planned for later in 2020 until at least 2021, and anticipate $10compared to $20 million of lower tenant improvement costs and lease commissions partially due to potentially slower speculative new leasing offset by higher renewal activity.2019.


Our long-term liquidity uses generally consist of the retirement or refinancing of debt upon maturity, funding of building improvements, new building developments and land infrastructure projects and funding acquisitions of buildings and development land. Our expected future capital expenditures for started and/or committed new development projects were approximately $239$201 million at March 31, 2020.June 30, 2020. Additionally, we may, from time to time, retire outstanding equity and/or debt securities through redemptions, open market repurchases, privately negotiated acquisitions or otherwise.
 
We expect to meet our long-term liquidity needs through a combination of:
 
•
cash flow from operating activities;
 
•
bank term loans and borrowings under our revolving credit facility;
 
•
the issuance of unsecured debt;
 
•
the issuance of secured debt;
 
•
the issuance of equity securities by the Company or the Operating Partnership; and
 
•
the disposition of non-core assets.

cash flow from operating activities;
bank term loans and borrowings under our revolving credit facility;
the issuance of unsecured debt;
the issuance of secured debt;
the issuance of equity securities by the Company or the Operating Partnership; and
the disposition of non-core assets.

We have no debt scheduled to mature during the remainder of 2020 or 2021 except for $300 million principal amount of 3.20% (3.363% effective rate) notes due June 2021. During the remainder of 2020, we forecast funding approximately $133$89 million of our $500$503 million development pipeline, which was approximately 50%60% funded as of March 31, 2020.June 30, 2020. We generally believe we will be able to satisfy these obligations with existing cash, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, new bank term loans, issuance of other unsecured debt, mortgage debt and/or proceeds from the sale of additional non-core assets.

We believe we are not eligible for a forgivable loan under the SBA paycheck protection program but do expect we may be eligible for a modest amount of tax credits for certain situations where employees are unable to work due to COVID-19 under either The Families First Coronavirus Response Act or the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act.

Investment Activity

As noted above, a key tenet of our strategic plan is to continuously upgrade the quality of our office portfolio through acquisitions, dispositions and development. We generally seek to acquire and develop office buildings that improve the average quality of our overall portfolio and deliver consistent and sustainable value for our stockholders over the long-term. Whether or

not an asset acquisition or new development results in higher per share net income or funds from operations (“FFO”(“FFO”) in any given period depends upon a number of factors, including whether the NOI for any such period exceeds the actual cost of capital used to finance the acquisition or development. Additionally, given the length of construction cycles, development projects are not placed in service until, in some cases, several years after commencement. Sales of non-core assets could result in lower per share net income or FFO in any given period in the event the resulting use of proceeds does not exceed the capitalization rate on the sold properties.



Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019
 
Rental and Other Revenues
 
Rental and other revenues were $0.9 million, or 0.5%, lower in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019 primarily due to property dispositions and lower same property revenues, which decreased rental and other revenues by $10.7 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Same property rental and other revenues were lower primarily due to lower cost recovery income and lower parking income as a result of reduced usage of our assets because of the COVID-19 pandemic, partly offset by higher average GAAP rents per rentable square foot. These decreases were partly offset by acquisitions and development properties placed in service, which increased rental and other revenues by $9.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively. We expect rental and other revenues to be lower for the remainder of 2020 as compared to 2019 due to lost revenue from property dispositions and lower parking income as a result of reduced usage of our assets because of the COVID-19 pandemic, partly offset by acquisitions, development properties placed in service and higher same property revenues. Rental and other revenues, particularly same property revenues, could be adversely affected, perhaps significantly, in the event customers default on their leases, file bankruptcy and/or otherwise experience significant financial difficulty or slower than originally anticipated speculative new leasing as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Operating Expenses
 
Rental property and other expenses were $5.4 million, or 9.0%, lower in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019 primarily due to lower same property operating expenses and property dispositions, which decreased operating expenses by $3.8 million and $3.5 million, respectively. Same property operating expenses were lower primarily due to lower utilities, repairs and maintenance and contract services as a result of reduced usage of our assets because of the COVID-19 pandemic, partly offset by higher property taxes. These decreases were partly offset by acquisitions and development properties placed in service, which increased operating expenses by $1.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively. We expect rental property and other expenses to be lower for the remainder of 2020 as compared to 2019 due to lower operating expenses from property dispositions, partly offset by acquisitions, higher same property operating expenses (net of lower operating expenses as a result of reduced usage of our assets because of the COVID-19 pandemic) and development properties placed in service.

Depreciation and amortization was unchanged in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019 due to acquisitions and development properties placed in service offset by property dispositions. We expect depreciation and amortization to be higher for the remainder of 2020 as compared to 2019 for similar reasons.

We recorded impairments of real estate assets of $1.8 million and $0.5 million in the second quarter of 2020 and 2019, respectively. These impairments resulted from changes in market-based inputs and our assumptions about the use of the assets.

General and administrative expenses were $0.5 million, or 5.5%, higher in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019 primarily due to higher incentive compensation and gains on deferred compensation plan investments in 2020 (which is fully offset by a corresponding increase in deferred compensation that is recorded in other income/(loss)), partly offset by lower salaries and benefits associated with the closure of our Greensboro and Memphis offices. We expect general and administrative expenses to be lower for the remainder of 2020 as compared to 2019 due to lower severance costs, salaries and benefits associated with the closure of our Greensboro and Memphis offices and lower executive retirement and consulting costs, partly offset by higher long-term equity incentive compensation.

Interest Expense
 
Interest expense was $0.5 million, or 2.5%, lower in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019 primarily due to higher capitalized interest and lower average interest rates, partly offset by higher average debt balances. We expect interest expense to be lower for the remainder of 2020 as compared to 2019 for similar reasons.

Other Income/(Loss)
 
Other income was $0.3 millionhigher in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019 primarily due to gains on deferred compensation plan investments in 2020, which is fully offset by a corresponding increase in the deferred compensation expense that is recorded in general and administrative expenses.

Gains on Disposition of Property

Gains on disposition of property were $6.4 millionlower in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019 due to the net effect of the disposition activity in such periods.
 
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates was $0.4 million, or 54.1%, higher in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019 primarily due to higher average occupancy. We generally expect equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates to be higher for the remainder of 2020 as compared to 2019 for the same reason. However, equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates could be adversely affected, perhaps significantly, in the event customers of our unconsolidated affiliates default on their leases, file bankruptcy and/or otherwise experience significant financial difficulty as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
 
Earnings Per Common Share - Diluted
 
Diluted earnings per common share was $0.02lower in the second quarter of 2020 as compared to 2019 due to a decrease in net income for the reasons discussed above.

Laser Spine Institute

In the first quarter of 2019, we provided information on Laser Spine Institute, which occupied a 176,000 square-foot, six-story building with structured parking in Tampa’sTampa’s Westshore submarket, a BBD. The building, developed by us, had been used by Laser Spine Institute for both its company headquarters and an ambulatory surgery center. After the market closed on March 1, 2019, Laser Spine Institute announced it would immediately discontinue its operations. This unexpected announcement affected all of its locations nationwide. As a result of this sudden closure, in the first quarter of 2019, we incurred $5.6 million of credit losses on operating lease receivables and write-offs of $2.3 million of lease incentives, $4.1 million of notes receivable and $11.6 million of tenant improvements and deferred leasing costs.

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities in the first quartersix months of2020 as compared to 2019 was primarily due to higher net cash from the operations of acquisitions, development properties placed in service and same properties and the settlement of cash flow hedges in 2019, partly offset by property dispositionsdispositions. Without the fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its uncertain impact on economic activity, we would expect net cash related to operating activities to be higher for the remainder of 2020 as compared to 2019 due to acquisitions and development properties placed in service and the timingsettlement of cash paid forflow hedges in 2019, partly offset by property dispositions. However, net cash related to operating expenses. We expectactivities will be negatively impacted if the COVID-19 pandemic causes losses related to customer difficulties or slower than originally anticipated speculative new leasing. As a result, we cannot estimate whether net cash related to operating activities for the remainder of 2020 to will be higher or lower as compared to 2019 due to property dispositions and the potential adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, partly offset by acquisitions, development properties placed in service and same properties..

The change in cash provided by/(used in) investing activities in the first quartersix months of2020 as compared to 2019 was primarily due to net proceeds from disposition activity in 2020 and higher acquisition activity in 2019, partly offset by higher investments in tenant improvements and development in-process in 2020. We expect uses of cash for investing activities for the remainder of 2020 to be primarily driven by whether or not we acquire and commence development of additional office buildings in the BBDs of our markets. Additionally, as of March 31,June 30, 2020, we have approximately $239$201 million left to fund of our previously-announced development activity in 2020 and future years. We expect these uses of cash for investing activities will be partly offset by proceeds from property dispositions for the remainder of 2020.2020.


The changeincrease in net cash provided by/(used in)in financing activities in the first quartersix months of2020 as compared to 2019 was primarily due to higher net debt borrowings in 2019. Assuming the net effect of our acquisition, disposition and development activity in 2020 results in an increase to our assets, we would expect outstanding debt and/or Common Stock balances to increase.

Investment Activity
 
In the normal course of business, we regularly evaluate potential acquisitions. As a result, from time to time, we may have one or more potential acquisitions under consideration that are in varying stages of evaluation, negotiation or due diligence, including potential acquisitions that are subject to non-binding letters of intent or enforceable contracts. Consummation of any transaction is subject to a number of contingencies, including the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. No assurances can be provided that we will acquire any properties in the future. See “Item“Item 1A. Risk Factors - Recent and future acquisitions and development properties may fail to perform in accordance with our expectations and may require renovation and development costs exceeding our estimates”estimates” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On July 1, 2020, we sold two buildings in Memphis for an aggregate sale price of $23.3 million and expect to record aggregate gains on disposition of property of $9.3 million.

During the firstsecond quarter of 2020, we acquired development land in Nashville for a purchase price of $6.2 million, which consisted of the issuance of 118,592 Common Units and capitalized acquisition costs.

Financing Activity

During the first quarter of 2020, we entered into separate equity distribution agreements with each of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., BTIG, LLC, Capital One Securities, Inc., Fifth Third Securities, Inc., Jefferies LLC, J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Regions Securities LLC and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. Under the terms of the equity distribution agreements, the Company may offer and sell up to $300.0 million in aggregate gross sales price of shares of Common Stock from time to time through such firms, acting as agents of the Company or as principals. Sales of the shares, if any, may be made by means of ordinary brokers’brokers’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”(“NYSE”) or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices or as otherwise agreed with any of such firms. The Company did not issue any shares of Common Stock under these agreements during the firstsecond quarter of 2020.2020.

Our $600.0$600.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in January 2022 and includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional $400.0$400.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments. Assuming no defaults have occurred, we have an option to extend the maturity for two additional six-monthsix-month periods. The interest rate at our current credit ratings is LIBOR plus 100 basis points and the annual facility fee is 20 basis points. The interest rate and facility fee are based on the higher of the publicly announced ratings from Moody’sMoody’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s& Poor’s Ratings Services. There was $87.0$14.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility at March 31, 2020.June 30, 2020. There were no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility at AprilJuly 21, 2020.2020. At both March 31,June 30, 2020 and AprilJuly 21, 2020, we had $0.1$0.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduces the availability on our revolving credit facility. As a result, the unused capacity of our revolving credit facility at March 31,June 30, 2020 and AprilJuly 21, 2020 was $512.9$585.9 million and $599.9$599.9 million, respectively.

We are currently in compliance with financial covenants and other requirements with respect to our consolidated debt. Although we expect to remain in compliance with these covenants and ratios for at least the next year, depending upon our future operating performance, property and financing transactions and general economic conditions, we cannot assure you that we will continue to be in compliance.
 
Our revolving credit facility and bank term loans require us to comply with customary operating covenants and various financial requirements. Upon an event of default on the revolving credit facility, the lenders having at least 51.0% of the total commitments under the revolving credit facility can accelerate all borrowings then outstanding, and we could be prohibited from borrowing any further amounts under our revolving credit facility, which would adversely affect our ability to fund our operations. In addition, certain of our unsecured debt agreements contain cross-default provisions giving the unsecured lenders the right to declare a default if we are in default under more than $30.0 million with respect to other loans in some circumstances.

The indenture that governs the Operating Partnership’sPartnership’s outstanding notes requires us to comply with customary operating covenants and various financial ratios. The trustee or the holders of at least 25.0% in principal amount of any series of notes can accelerate the principal amount of such series upon written notice of a default that remains uncured after 60 days.
 
We may not be able to repay, refinance or extend any or all of our debt at maturity or upon any acceleration. If any refinancing is done at higher interest rates, the increased interest expense could adversely affect our cash flow and ability to pay distributions. Any such refinancing could also impose tighter financial ratios and other covenants that restrict our ability to take actions that could otherwise be in our best interest, such as funding new development activity, making opportunistic acquisitions, repurchasing our securities or paying distributions.


Dividends and Distributions

To maintain its qualification as a REIT, the Company must pay dividends to stockholders that are at least 90.0% of its annual REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains. The partnership agreement requires the Operating Partnership to distribute at least enough cash for the Company to be able to pay such dividends. The Company’sCompany’s REIT taxable income, as determined by the federal tax laws, does not equal its net income under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”(“GAAP”). In addition, although capital gains are not required to be distributed to maintain REIT status, capital gains, if any, are subject to federal and state income tax unless such gains are distributed to stockholders.

Cash dividends and distributions reduce the amount of cash that would otherwise be available for other business purposes, including funding debt maturities, reducing debt or future growth initiatives. The amount of future distributions that will be made is at the discretion of the Company’sCompany’s Board of Directors. For a discussion of the factors that will affect such cash flows and, accordingly, influence the decisions of the Company’sCompany’s Board of Directors regarding dividends and distributions, see “Item“Item 7. Management’sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Dividends and Distributions”Distributions” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During the firstsecond quarter of 2020, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.48$0.48 per share of Common Stock.

On AprilJuly 28, 2020, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.48$0.48 per share of Common Stock, which is payable on June 8,September 9, 2020 to stockholders of record as of May 18,August 17, 2020.

Current and Future Cash Needs
 
We anticipate that our available cash and cash equivalents, cash flows from operating activities and other available financing sources, including the issuance of debt securities by the Operating Partnership, the issuance of secured debt, bank term loans, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, the issuance of equity securities by the Company or the Operating Partnership and the disposition of non-core assets, will be adequate to meet our short-term liquidity requirements.requirements, including the $300.0 million principal amount of unsecured notes due June 15, 2021.

Table of Contents

We had $12.7$4.8 million of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2020.June 30, 2020. The unused capacity of our revolving credit facility at March 31,June 30, 2020 and AprilJuly 21, 2020 was $512.9$585.9 million and $599.9$599.9 million, respectively, excluding an accordion feature that allows for an additional $400.0$400.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments.

We have a currently effective automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC pursuant to which, at any time and from time to time, in one or more offerings on an as-needed basis, the Company may sell an indefinite amount of common stock, preferred stock and depositary shares and the Operating Partnership may sell an indefinite amount of debt securities, subject to our ability to effect offerings on satisfactory terms based on prevailing market conditions.

The Company from time to time enters into equity distribution agreements with a variety of firms pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell shares of common stock from time to time through such firms, acting as agents of the Company or as principals. Sales of the shares, if any, may be made by means of ordinary brokers’brokers’ transactions on the NYSE or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices or as otherwise agreed with any of such firms (which may include block trades).

During the remainder of 2020, we also expect to sell an additional $0$72 million to $150$127 million of properties no longer considered to be core assets due to location, age, quality and/or overall strategic fit. We can make no assurance, however, that we will sell any non-core assets or, if we do, what the timing or terms of any such sale will be.

Critical Accounting Estimates
 
There were no changes made by management to the critical accounting policies in the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020. For a description of our critical accounting estimates, see “Management’s“Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates”Estimates” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Non-GAAP Information
 
The Company believes that FFO, FFO available for common stockholders and FFO available for common stockholders per share are beneficial to management and investors and are important indicators of the performance of any equity REIT. Because these FFO calculations exclude such factors as depreciation, amortization and impairments of real estate assets and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets, which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates, they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. Management believes that historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management believes the use of FFO, FFO available for common stockholders and FFO available for common stockholders per share, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of the Company’sCompany’s performance relative to its competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities.
 
FFO, FFO available for common stockholders and FFO available for common stockholders per share are non-GAAP financial measures and therefore do not represent net income or net income per share as defined by GAAP. Net income and net income per share as defined by GAAP are the most relevant measures in determining the Company’sCompany’s operating performance because these FFO measures include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation, amortization and impairments. Furthermore, FFO available for common stockholders per share does not depict the amount that accrues directly to the stockholders’stockholders’ benefit. Accordingly, FFO, FFO available for common stockholders and FFO available for common stockholders per share should never be considered as alternatives to net income, net income available for common stockholders, or net income available for common stockholders per share as indicators of the Company’sCompany’s operating performance.
 
The Company’sCompany’s presentation of FFO is consistent with FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which is calculated as follows:
 
•
Net income/(loss) computed in accordance with GAAP;
 
•
Less net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates;
 
•
Plus depreciation and amortization of depreciable operating properties;
 
•
Less gains, or plus losses, from sales of depreciable operating properties, plus impairments on depreciable operating properties and excluding items that are classified as extraordinary items under GAAP;
 
•
Plus or minus our share of adjustments, including depreciation and amortization of depreciable operating properties, for unconsolidated joint venture investments (to reflect funds from operations on the same basis); and

Less net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates; 
•
Plus or minus adjustments for depreciation and amortization and gains/(losses) on sales of depreciable operating properties, plus impairments on depreciable operating properties, and noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates related to discontinued operations.
 
Plus depreciation and amortization of depreciable operating properties;
Less gains, or plus losses, from sales of depreciable operating properties, plus impairments on depreciable operating properties and excluding items that are classified as extraordinary items under GAAP;
Plus or minus our share of adjustments, including depreciation and amortization of depreciable operating properties, for unconsolidated joint venture investments (to reflect funds from operations on the same basis); and
Plus or minus adjustments for depreciation and amortization and gains/(losses) on sales of depreciable operating properties, plus impairments on depreciable operating properties, and noncontrolling interests in consolidated affiliates related to discontinued operations.
In calculating FFO, the Company includes net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership, which the Company believes is consistent with standard industry practice for REITs that operate through an UPREIT structure. The Company believes that it is important to present FFO on an as-converted basis since all of the Common Units not owned by the Company are redeemable on a one-for-one basis for shares of its Common Stock.

In addition, the Company believes NOI and same property NOI are useful supplemental measures of the Company’sCompany’s property operating performance because such metrics provide a performance measure of the revenues and expenses directly involved in owning real estate assets and a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or FFO. The Company defines NOI as rental and other revenues less rental property and other expenses. The Company defines cash NOI as NOI less lease termination fees, straight-line rent, amortization of lease incentives and amortization of acquired above and below market leases. Other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate NOI, same property NOI and cash NOI.

As of March 31,June 30, 2020, our same property portfolio consisted of 171 in-service properties encompassing 25.3 million rentable square feet that were wholly owned during the entirety of the periods presented (from January 1, 2019 to March 31,June 30, 2020). As of December 31, 2019, our same property portfolio consisted of 207 in-service properties encompassing 28.3 million rentable square feet that were wholly owned during the entirety of the periods presented (from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2019). The change in our same property portfolio was due to the addition of four newly developed properties encompassing 0.4 million rentable square feet placed in service during 2018. These additions were offset by the removal of 40 properties encompassing 3.5 million rentable square feet that were sold during 2020.2020.

Rental and other revenues related to properties not in our same property portfolio were $23.0$17.5 million and $15.818.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $40.5 million and $33.8 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Rental property and other expenses related to properties not in our same property portfolio were $6.1$3.7 million and $5.55.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $9.7 million and $10.9 million for the threesix months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


The effects of potential changes in interest rates are discussed below. Our market risk discussion includes “forward-looking statements”“forward-looking statements” and represents an estimate of possible changes in fair value or future earnings that would occur assuming hypothetical future movements in interest rates. Actual future results may differ materially from those presented. See “Item“Item 2. Management’sManagement’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources”Resources” and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of our accounting policies and other information related to these financial instruments.
 
We borrow funds at a combination of fixed and variable rates. Borrowings under our revolving credit facility and bank term loans bear interest at variable rates. Our long-term debt, which consists of secured and unsecured long-term financings, typically bears interest at fixed rates. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit generally the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, from time to time we enter into interest rate hedge contracts such as collars, swaps, caps and treasury lock agreements in order to mitigate our interest rate risk with respect to existing and prospective debt instruments. We generally do not hold or issue these derivative contracts for trading or speculative purposes.
 
At March 31,June 30, 2020, we had $2,035.7$2,035.6 million principal amount of fixed rate debt outstanding, a $0.1$0.1 milliondecrease as compared to December 31, 2019, excluding debt with a variable rate that is effectively fixed by related interest rate hedge contracts. The estimated aggregate fair market value of this debt was $2,013.4 million.$2,122.1 million. If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher, the aggregate fair market value of our fixed rate debt would have been $113.3$119.4 million lower. If interest rates had been 100 basis points lower, the aggregate fair market value of our fixed rate debt would have been $122.9$129.5 million higher.
 
At March 31,June 30, 2020, we had $337.0$264.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding, a $134.0$207.0 milliondecrease as compared to December 31, 2019, not protected by interest rate hedge contracts. If the weighted average interest rate on this variable rate debt had been 100 basis points higher or lower, the annual interest expense at March 31,June 30, 2020 would increase or decrease by $3.4 million. $2.6 million.

At April 21,June 30, 2020, we had $250.0$50.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding not protected by interest rate hedge contracts. If the weighted average interest rate on this variable rate debt had been 100 basis points higher or lower, the annual interest expense at April 21, 2020 would increase or decrease by $2.5 million.

At March 31, 2020, we had $50.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding with $50.0$50.0 million of related floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. These swaps effectively fix the underlying one-monthone-month LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 1.693%. If the underlying LIBOR interest rates increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the aggregate fair market value of the swaps at March 31,June 30, 2020 would increase by $0.7 million or decrease by $0.9 million.$0.8 million, respectively.
 
We are exposed to certain losses in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties, which are major financial institutions, under the swaps. We regularly evaluate the financial condition of our counterparties using publicly available information. Based on this review, we currently expect the counterparties to perform fully under the swaps. However, if a counterparty defaults on its obligations under a swap, we could be required to pay the full rates on the applicable debt, even if such rates were in excess of the rate in the contract.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

SEC rules require us to maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our annual and periodic reports filed with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’sSEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company’sCompany’s CEO and CFO have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures of the Company and the Operating Partnership were each effective at the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report.

SEC rules also require us to establish and maintain internal control over financial reporting designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. There were no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’sCompany’s internal control over financial reporting. There were also no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31,June 30, 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Operating Partnership’sPartnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the information below and under the heading “Business“Business - Risk Factors”Factors” set forth in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The current COVID-19 pandemic and the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseasesresulting economic recession could materially and adversely impact or disrupt our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and another pandemic in the future could have, repercussions across regional and global economies and financial markets. The spread of COVID-19 in many countries, including the United States, has significantly adversely impacted global economic activity, including causing a worldwide economic recession, and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the pandemic has been rapidly evolving and many countries, including the United States, have reactedcontinue to react by instituting stay-at-home orders, mandatingrestricting many business and schooltravel activities, mandating the complete closures of certain business and restricting travel.

Certain U.S. statesschools and cities,taking other actions to mitigate the spread of the virus, most of which have a negative effect on economic activity. Furthermore, many private businesses, including where we own assets,some of our customers, have also reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “stay-at-home” rules, restrictions on typesrecommended certain of business that maytheir employees to continue to operate and/work from home or restrictions onare rotating employees in and out of the types of construction projects that may continue. office to encourage social distancing in the workplace.

We cannot predict when, if and to what extent these restrictions currently in placeand other actions will expire. As a result, theend and when, if and to what extent economic activity will return to pre-COVID-19 levels. The COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry directly or indirectly, including industries in which we and our customers operate. A number of our customers have requested rent relief during this pandemic. In addition, many of our employees are currently working remotely. An extended period of remote workwork-from-home arrangements involving our employees could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business.

The COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, could also have material and adverse effects on our ability to successfully operate and on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors:

•
a complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or customer action;

•
the reduced economic activity could severely impact our customers’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our customers to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations;

•
the reduced economic activity could result in a prolonged and severe recession, which could negatively impact our prospects for leasing additional space and/or renewing leases with existing customers;

•
difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, impacts to our credit ratings, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations, including funding our development pipeline, or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis, and may also affect our customers’ ability to fund their business operations and meet their obligations to us;

•
the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our future compliance with financial covenants of our revolving credit facility and other debt agreements and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness, which non-compliance could negatively impact our ability to make additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility and pay dividends, among other things;

•
weaker economic conditions due to the pandemic could require us to recognize future impairment losses;

•
a deterioration in our or our customers’ ability to operate in affected areas or delays in the supply of products or services to us or our customers from vendors that are needed for our or our customers’ operations could adversely affect our operations and those of our customers;

•
potential changes in customer behavior, such as the continued social acceptance, desirability and perceived economic benefits of work-from-home arrangements, could materially and negatively impact the future demand for office space over the long-term; and

the reduced economic activity could severely impact our customers’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our customers to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations;
•
the potential negative impact on the health of our employees, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during this disruption.


the reduced economic activity could result in a prolonged recession, which could negatively impact our prospects for leasing additional space and/or renewing leases with existing customers;

difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, impacts to our credit ratings, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations, including funding our development pipeline, or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis, and may also affect our customers’ ability to fund their business operations and meet their obligations to us;

the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our future compliance with financial covenants of our revolving credit facility and other debt agreements and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness, which non-compliance could negatively impact our ability to make additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility and pay dividends, among other things;

weaker economic conditions due to the pandemic could require us to recognize future impairment losses;

a deterioration in our or our customers’ ability to operate in affected areas or delays in the supply of products or services to us or our customers from vendors that are needed for our or our customers’ operations could adversely affect our operations and those of our customers; and

the potential negative impact on the health of our employees, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during this disruption.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our operations and those of our customers will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic and the resulting economic recession, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic, social and behavioral effects of the

pandemic and containment measures, among others. Financial difficulties experienced by our customers, including the potential for bankruptcies or other early terminations of their leases, could reduce our cash flows, which could impact our ability to continue paying dividends to our stockholders at expected levels or at all.

The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance. Moreover, many risk factors set forth in the 2019 Annual Report should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
