EXPLANATORY NOTE

We refer to Highwoods Properties, Inc. as the “Company,” Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership as the “Operating Partnership,” the Company’s common stock as “Common Stock” or “Common Shares,” the Company’s preferred stock as “Preferred Stock” or “Preferred Shares,” the Operating Partnership’s common partnership interests as “Common Units” and the Operating Partnership’s preferred partnership interests as “Preferred Units.” References to “we” and “our” mean the Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively, unless the context indicates otherwise.

The Company conducts its activities through the Operating Partnership and is its sole general partner. The partnership agreement provides that the Operating Partnership will assume and pay when due, or reimburse the Company for payment of, all costs and expenses relating to the ownership and operations of, or for the benefit of, the Operating Partnership.

This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 of the Company and the Operating Partnership. We believe combining the quarterly reports into this single report results in the following benefits:

combined reports better reflect how management and investors view the business as a single operating unit;

combined reports enhance investors’ understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management;

combined reports are more efficient for the Company and the Operating Partnership and result in savings in time, effort and expense; and

combined reports are more efficient for investors by reducing duplicative disclosure and providing a single document for their review.

To help investors understand the significant differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report presents the following separate sections for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:

Consolidated Financial Statements;

Note 13 to Consolidated Financial Statements - Earnings Per Share and Per Unit;

Item 4 - Controls and Procedures; and

Basis of Presentation

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

The Company’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’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 June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we have involvement with, and are the primary beneficiary in, an entity that we concluded to be a variable interest entity. As such, this entity (seeis consolidated. Additionally, at March 31, 2022, we have involvement with, but are not the primary beneficiary in, an entity that we concluded to be a variable interest entity. As such, this entity is not consolidated. (See Note 3).

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 20202021 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 June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, a reserve of $0.4$0.6 million was recorded to cover estimated reported and unreported claims.

Planned Investment Activities

During the second quarter of 2021, we agreed to acquire a portfolio of office assets from Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (NYSE:APTS) (“PAC”). The core portfolio to be acquired consists of the following 4 Class A office assets in Charlotte and Raleigh, which encompass 1,630,000 square feet in total, and 1 mixed-use redevelopment site in Atlanta: 150 Fayetteville, Raleigh (CBD); CAPTRUST Tower, Raleigh (North Hills); Capitol Towers, Charlotte (SouthPark); Morrocroft Centre, Charlotte (SouthPark); and Galleria 75, Atlanta (Cumberland/Galleria). We have also agreed to acquire 2 non-core assets: a mezzanine loan related to a recently constructed office building in Atlanta; and Armour Yards, a multi-building creative office project in Atlanta. Our total investment, including the estimated value of the non-core assets, is expected to be $769 million, which includes $28 million of near-term building improvements and $5 million of transaction costs. The transaction is expected to include, among other things, the assumption of 4 secured loans collateralized by the core office buildings estimated to be recorded at fair value of $403 million in the aggregate, with a weighted average effective interest rate of 3.7% and a weighted average maturity of 10.8 years. The value of the non-core assets represents less than 12% of the anticipated total investment. The acquisition, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is scheduled to close within 30 days of the filing of this Quarterly Report. As of July 20, 2021, we have posted $60.0 million of earnest money deposits (of which $55.0 million were recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets at June 30, 2021) that are non-refundable except in limited circumstances. As part of the transaction, PAC will separately market Armour Yards for sale to a third party. If PAC chooses not to sell Armour Yards to a third party, we will close on the acquisition of the creative office project no later than the first quarter of 2022.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“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”). 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 guidance in this ASU is optional and may be elected now through December 31, 2022 as reference rate reform activities occur. We will continue to evaluate the impact of 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 Modification Q&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 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 have elected the practical expedient and will not apply lease modification accounting on a lease by lease basis where applicable. As a result, $1.6 million of deferred rent is included in accounts receivable on our Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2021.

2.    Leases

Operating 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 $182.4$203.6 million and $181.1$179.9 million during the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively, and $362.4 million and $370.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Included in these amounts are variable lease payments of $14.5$17.4 million and $13.4$14.5 million during the three months ended June 30,March 31, 2022 and 2021, and 2020, respectively, and $29.0 million and $29.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

3.    Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated Variable Interest Entity

In 2019, we and The Bromley Companies formed a joint venture (the “Midtown One joint venture”) to construct Midtown West, a 150,000 square foot, multi-customer office building located in the mixed-use Midtown Tampa project in Tampa’s Westshore submarket. Midtown West has an anticipated total investment of $71.3 million. Construction of Midtown West began in the third quarter of 2019 with a completion dateand the building was placed in service in the second quarter of 2021. At closing, we agreed to contribute cash of $20.0 million, which has been fully funded, in exchange for an 80.0% interest in the Midtown OneWest joint venture and The Bromley Companies contributed land valued at $5.0 million in exchange for the remaining 20.0% interest. We also committed to provide a $46.3 million interest-only secured construction loan to the Midtown OneWest joint venture that is scheduled to mature on the second anniversary of completion.completion of the building as defined in the loan agreement. The maturity date is currently estimated at mid-2023. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 250 basis points. As of June 30, 2021, $23.7March 31, 2022, $30.1 million under the loan has been funded.

We determined that we have a variable interest in the Midtown OneWest 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 OneWest 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’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 OneWest joint venture is consolidated and all intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated. The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities of the Midtown OneWest joint venture included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Unconsolidated Variable Interest Entity

During the fourth quarter of 2021, we and Brand Properties, LLC (“Brand”) formed a joint venture to construct 2827 Peachtree, a 135,000 square foot, multi-customer office building located in Atlanta’s Buckhead submarket. 2827 Peachtree has an anticipated total investment of $79.0 million. Construction of 2827 Peachtree began in the first quarter of 2022 with a scheduled completion date in the third quarter of 2023. At closing, we agreed to contribute cash of $13.3 million, which has been fully funded, in exchange for a 50.0% interest in the 2827 Peachtree joint venture and Brand contributed land valued at $7.7 million and cash of $5.6 million in exchange for the remaining 50.0% interest. We also committed to provide a $49.6 million interest-only secured construction loan to the 2827 Peachtree joint venture that is scheduled to mature in December 2024 with an option to extend for one year. The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 300 basis points. As of March 31, 2022, no amounts under the loan have been funded.

We determined that we have a variable interest in the 2827 Peachtree 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 equity holder and Brand as an equity holder. The 2827 Peachtree 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 Brand is not sufficient to finance its planned investments and operations. However, since we are the not the managing member or lead developer, we concluded we do not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the entity and therefore, do not qualify as the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the entity is not consolidated. At March 31, 2022, our risk of loss with respect to this arrangement was limited to the carrying value of the investment balance of $13.5 million as no amounts were outstanding under the loan. The assets of the 2827 Peachtree 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 2021, we acquired development land in Nashville for a purchase price, including capitalized acquisition costs, of $16.1 million, which is expected to be paid within two years.

During the first quarter of 2021, we acquired our joint venture partner’s 75.0% interest in our Highwoods DLF Forum, LLC joint venture (the “Forum”), which owned 5 buildings in Raleigh encompassing 636,000 rentable square feet, for a purchase price of $131.3 million. We previously accounted for our 25.0% interest in this joint venture using the equity method of accounting. The assets and liabilities of the joint venture are now wholly owned and we have determined the acquisition constitutes an asset purchase. As such, because the Forum is not a variable interest entity, we allocated our previously held equity interest at historical cost along with the consideration paid and acquisition costs to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at relative fair value as determined by management, with the assistance of third party specialists, based on information available at the acquisition date and on current assumptions as to future operations.

Dispositions

During the second quarter of 2021, we sold a building in Tampa for a sale price of $43.0 million (before closing credits to buyer of $0.9 million) and recorded a gain on disposition of property of $22.9 million.

During the first quarter of 2021,2022, we sold a buildingland in AtlantaTampa for a salesales price of $30.7$9.6 million and recorded a gain on disposition of property of $18.9$4.1 million.

At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, our secured mortgage loan wasloans were collateralized by real estate assets with an undepreciated book value of $147.9$728.1 million.

During the first quarter of 2021, we entered into a newOur $750.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility which replaced our previously existing $600.0 million revolving credit facilityis scheduled to mature in March 2025 and includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional $550.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments. Our new revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in March 2025. Assuming no defaults have occurred, we have an option to extend the maturity for 2 additional six-month periods. The current interest rate on the new facility at our existingcurrent credit ratings is LIBOR plus 90 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’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services. The financial and other covenants under the new facility are substantially similar to our previous credit facility. We incurred $4.8 million of debt issuance costs, which will be amortized along with certain existing unamortized debt issuance costs over the remaining term of our new revolving credit facility. We recorded $0.1 million of loss on debt extinguishment. There was $155.0$110.0 million outstanding under our new revolving credit facility at both June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and July 20, 2021.April 19, 2022. At both June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and July 20, 2021,April 19, 2022, we had $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 both June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and July 20, 2021April 19, 2022 was $594.9$639.9 million.

During the second quarter of 2021, we prepaid without penalty the remaining $150.0 million principal amount of 3.20% unsecured notes that was scheduled to mature in June 2021. We recorded $0.1 million of loss on debt extinguishment related to this prepayment.

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 April 26, 2022 (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 $200 million unsecured bank term loan that is scheduled to mature in November 2022 and the $250 million principal amount of unsecured notes that are scheduled to mature in January 2023. We intend tohave concluded it is probable we will meet these short-term liquidity requirements through a combination of the following:

available cash and cash equivalents;

cash flows from operating activities;

issuance of debt securities by the Operating Partnership;

issuance of secured debt;

bank term loans;

borrowings under our revolving credit facility;

issuance of equity securities by the Company or the Operating Partnership; and

the disposition of non-core assets.

7.    Derivative Financial Instruments

The counterparties under ourWe previously entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps are major financial institutions. The swap agreements containthrough January 2022 with respect to an aggregate of $50 million LIBOR-based borrowings. These swaps effectively fixed the underlying one month LIBOR rate at a provision whereby if we default on certainweighted average rate of our indebtedness and which default results in repayment1.693%. During the first quarter of such indebtedness being, or becoming capable of being, accelerated by the lender, then we could also be declared in default on our swaps.2022, these interest rate swaps expired.

Our interest rate swaps have beenwere 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 havehad no collateral requirements related to our interest rate swaps.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) related to derivatives will beare reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our debt. During the period from JulyApril 1, 20212022 through June 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we estimate that $0.2$0.3 million will be reclassified as a net increasedecrease to interest expense.

9.    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’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 any 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 any 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’ 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.

15.    Contingencies

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 2020 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 and during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic may result in recording impairments, lease modifications and credit losses in future periods.

16.    Subsequent Events

On July 27, 2021,April 20, 2022, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per share of Common Stock, which is payable on September 8, 2021June 14, 2022 to stockholders of record as of August 16, 2021.

The Company conducts its activities through the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is managed by the Company, its sole general partner. Additional information about us can be found on our website at www.highwoods.com. Information on our website is not part of this Quarterly Report.

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report.

Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Some of the information in this Quarterly Report may contain forward-looking statements. Such statements include, in particular, statements about our plans, strategies and prospects under this section. You can identify forward-looking statements by our use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “continue” or other similar words. Although we believe that our plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that our plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. When considering such forward-looking statements, you should keep in mind important factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement, including the following:

the closing of the planned acquisition of a portfolio of office assets from Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc. (“PAC”) may not occur on the terms described in this report or at all;

buyers may not be available and pricing may not be adequate with respect to planned dispositions of non-core assets;

comparable sales data on which we based our expectations with respect to the sales price of non-core assets may not reflect current market trends;

the extent to which the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic impacts our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows depends on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic and its impact on the U.S. economy and potential changes in customer behavior that could adversely affect the use of and demand for office space;

the financial condition of our customers could deteriorate or further worsen, which could be further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic;

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;

development activity in our existing markets could result in an excessive supply relative to customer demand;

our markets may suffer declines in economic and/or office employment growth;

unanticipated increases in interest rates could increase our debt service costs;

unanticipated increases in operating expenses could negatively impact our operating results;
32

Table of Contents

natural disasters and climate change could have an adverse impact on our cash flow and operating results;

28

Table of Contents
we may not be able to meet our liquidity requirements or obtain capital on favorable terms to fund our working capital needs and growth initiatives or repay or refinance outstanding debt upon maturity; and

the Company could lose key executive officers.

This list of risks and uncertainties, however, is not intended to be exhaustive. You should also review the other cautionary statements we make in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” set forth in our 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements to reflect any future events or circumstances or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

Executive Summary

Highwoods isWe are in the work-placemaking business. We believe that in creating environments and experiences where the best and brightest can achieve together what they cannot apart, Highwoods deliverswe deliver greater value to our customers, their teammates and, in turn, our stockholders. Our simple and straight-forward strategy is to own and manage high-quality workplaces in the BBDs within our footprint, maintain a strong balance sheet to be opportunistic throughout economic cycles, employ a talented and dedicated team and communicate transparently with all stakeholders. We focus on owning and managing buildings in the most dynamic and vibrant BBDs. BBDs are highly-energized and amenitized workplace locations that enhance our customers’ ability to attract and retain talent. They are both urban and suburban. Providing the most talent-supportive workplace options in these environments is core to the Highwoodsour work-placemaking strategy.

COVID-19Our investment strategy is to generate attractive and sustainable returns over the long term for our stockholders by developing, acquiring and owning a portfolio of high-quality, differentiated office buildings in the BBDs of our core markets. A core component of this strategy is to continuously strengthen the financial and operational performance, resiliency and long-term growth prospects of our existing in-service portfolio and recycle those properties that no longer meet our criteria.

TheOur 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. Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has obviouslyalso had a significant impact on the U.S. economy since March 2020.economy. It is very difficult to predict when, if and to what extent economic activity will return to pre-COVID-19 levels. The COVID-19 pandemic did have somewhat of an impact on our secondfirst quarter of 20212022 financial results. Our financial results for the remainder of 2021 and future leasing activity could be adversely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations are set forth under “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

While all buildings and parking facilities have remained open for business, the usage of our assets has continued to remain significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels. As a result, compared to pre-pandemic levels, parking and parking-related revenues have continued to be low, largely offsetting reduced operating expenses, net of expense recoveries. Until usage increases, which will depend on the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, which isAlthough difficult to estimate, we expect that reduced usage will continue to result in reduced parking revenues, which will be partially offset by reduced operating expenses. Wecurrently expect usage will gradually increase throughout the remainder of 2021 as an increasing number of employers believe the risk of virus spread in the workplace is manageable.2022. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our current expectations are set forth under “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

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. Average occupancy could also be negatively impacted by potential changes in customer behavior, such as the continued social acceptance, desirability and perceived economic benefits of work-from-home arrangements, resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, which could materially and negatively impact the future demand for office space, resulting in slower overall leasing. Asset acquisitions, dispositions and new developments placed in service also 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 - Lease Expirations” in our 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Occupancy in our office portfolio decreased from 90.3%91.2% at December 31, 20202021 to 89.5%91.1% at June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. We expect average occupancy for our office portfolio to be approximately 89%90.5% to 90%91.5% for the remainder of 2021. However, average occupancy in the remainder of 2021 will be lower, perhaps significantly lower, if the COVID-19 pandemic causes vacancies and move-outs due to customers that default2022.

on their leases, file bankruptcy or otherwise experience significant financial difficulty. 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, resulting in slower overall leasing and negatively impacting our revenues.

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 secondfirst quarter of 20212022 (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):

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 annualized revenues are periodically reviewed with the Company’s Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, the Federal Government (4.1%(4.0%), Bank of America (3.9%(3.6%) and Metropolitan Life Insurance (3.0%Asurion (3.2%) accounted for more than 3% of our annualized cash revenues.

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 and usage 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”) 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 $0.2$3.5 million, or 0.2%2.9%, lowerhigher in the secondfirst quarter of 20212022 as compared to 20202021 due to an increase of $1.4$5.8 million in same property expensesrevenues offset by an increase of $1.2$2.3 million in same property revenues.expenses.

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 $1.2$17.3 million, or 1.0%13.6%, higher in the secondfirst quarter of 20212022 as compared to 20202021 primarily due to the acquisition of our joint venture partner’s 75.0% interestreal estate assets from Preferred Apartment Communities, Inc.

We expect NOI to be higher for the remainder of 2021 as compared to 2020 for similar reasons. Similar to same property NOI, NOI could be negatively impacted if the COVID-19 pandemic causes losses related to customer difficulties.

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 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 and Capital Resources - Dividends and Distributions.”

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We continue to maintain a conservative and flexible balance sheet and believe we have ample liquidity to fund our operations and growth prospects. As of July 20, 2021,April 19, 2022, we had $155.0approximately $26.0 million of available cash and $110.0 million drawn on our $750.0 million revolving credit facility, which is scheduled to mature in March 2025. Assuming we are in compliance with our covenants, we have an option to extend the maturity for two additional six-month periods. At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, 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 37.3%39.7% and there were 107.1107.7 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.facility, which had $639.9 million of availability at April 19, 2022. 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 ourthe revolving credit facility allows us to quickly capitalize on strategic opportunities at short-term interest rates.

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.

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

Investment ActivityLiquidity and Capital Resources

A key tenetWe continue to maintain a conservative and flexible balance sheet and believe we have ample liquidity to fund our operations and growth prospects. As of April 19, 2022, we had approximately $26.0 million of available cash and $110.0 million drawn on 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”) 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.

Planned Investment Activities

During the second quarter of 2021, we agreed to acquire a portfolio of office assets from PAC. The acquisition,$750.0 million revolving credit facility, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is scheduled to close within 30 days of the filing of this Quarterly Report. We plan to fund the initial $250 million cash portion of the purchase pricemature in March 2025. Assuming we are in compliance with a combination of restricted cash currently held in escrow as the result of recent non-core asset sales, borrowings under our current $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility and an expected $200 million, six-month unsecured bridge facility from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Our plan is to ultimately fund the acquisition primarily by accelerating the sale of $500 to $600 million of existing non-core assets by mid-2022, approximately half of which is planned to close by year-end 2021. Since our announcement on April 19, 2021 to acquire the portfolio of office assets from PAC,covenants, we have sold $43.0an option to extend the maturity for two additional six-month periods. At March 31, 2022, 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 39.7% and there were 107.7 million diluted shares of non-core assets. For more information, see “Liquidity and Capital Resources – Investment Activity.”

Because the acquisition and subsequent dispositions are not expected to close until after the filing of this Quarterly Report, if at all, forward-looking statements about our anticipated revenues, expenses and other items for the remainder of the year included below under “Results of Operations” do not include the impacts of any of these planned investment activities.

We generally believe existing cash and higher same property revenues, which increased rental and other revenues by $4.3 million, $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Same property rental and other revenues were higher primarily due to higher average GAAP rents per rentable square foot, higher cost recovery and parking income and lower credit losses, partly offset by a decrease in average occupancy. These increases were partly offset by lost revenue of $4.9 million from property dispositions.

Operating Expenses

Rental property and other expenses were $1.1 million, or 2.0%, higher in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 2020 primarily due to higher same property operating expenses, the acquisition of our joint venture partner’s 75.0% interest in the Forum and development properties placed in service, which increased operating expenses by $1.4 million, $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Same property operating expenses were higher primarily due to higher property taxes and higher contract services, repairs and maintenance and utilities as a result of increased usage of our assets. These increases were partly offset by a $1.8 million decrease in operating expenses from property dispositions. We expect rental property and other expenses to be higher for the remainder of 2021 as compared to 2020 due to higher same property operating expenses as a result of increased usage of our assets, the acquisition of our joint venture partner’s 75.0% interest in the Forum and development properties placed in service, partly offset by lower operating expenses from property dispositions.

Depreciation and amortization was $2.5 million, or 4.2%, higher in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 2020 primarily due to the acquisition of our joint venture partner’s 75.0% interest in the Forum, development properties placed in service and higher same property lease related depreciation and amortization, partly offset by fully amortized acquisition-related intangible assets and property dispositions. We expect depreciation and amortization to be higher for the remainder of 2021 as compared to 2020 for similar reasons.

We recorded an impairment of real estate assets of $1.8 million in the second quarter of 2020, which resulted from a change in market-based inputs and our assumptions about the use of the assets. We recorded no such impairment in 2021.

General and administrative expenses were unchanged in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 2020 due to lower salaries, severance and early retirement costs offset by higher incentive compensation. We experienced lower salaries in 2021 as a result of the reduction in the number of employees throughout 2020 primarily due to our exiting of the Greensboro and Memphis markets and the subsequent closing of those division offices and the resulting synergies garnered from the ongoing simplification of our business. We expect general and administrative expenses, to be relatively consistent for the remainder of 2021 as compared to 2020 for similar reasons.paying interest expense, maintaining our existing quarterly dividend and funding existing portfolio capital expenditures, including building improvement costs, tenant improvement costs and lease commissions.

Additionally, we may, from time to time, retire outstanding equity and/or 4.2%, lower in the second quarter of 2021 as compared to 2020 primarily due to lower average interest rates and higher capitalized interest, partly offset by higher average debt balances.

We recorded no such impairment in 2021.

General and administrative expenses were $1.0 million, or 4.5%, lower in the first six months of 2021 as compared to 2020 primarily due to lower severance and early retirement costs. We also experienced lower salaries and benefits in 2021 as a result of the reduction in the number of employees throughout 2020 primarily due to our exiting of the Greensboro and Memphis markets and the subsequent closing of those division offices and the resulting synergies garnered from the ongoing simplification of our business.

Statements of Cash Flows

We reportcontinue to maintain a conservative and analyze our cash flows based on operating activities, investing activitiesflexible balance sheet and financing activities. The following table sets forth the changes in the Company’s cash flows (in thousands):

Six Months Ended
June 30,
20212020Change
Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities$197,415 $180,215 $17,200 
Net Cash Provided By/(Used In) Investing Activities(228,417)129,729 (358,146)
Net Cash Used In Financing Activities(99,809)(310,979)211,170 
Total Cash Flows$(130,811)$(1,035)$(129,776)

The change in net cash provided by operating activities in the first six months of 2021 as compared to 2020 was primarily due to higher net cash from the operations of the acquisition of our joint venture partner’s 75.0% interest in the Forum, same properties and development properties placed in service and changes in operating assets, partly offset by property dispositions and changes in operating liabilities. We expect net cash related to operating activities to be higher for the remainder of 2021 as compared to 2020 due to the acquisition of our joint venture partner’s 75.0% interest in the Forum, development properties placed in service and same properties, partly offset by property dispositions.

The change in net cash provided by/(used in) investing activities in the first six months of 2021 as compared to 2020 was primarily due to net proceeds from disposition activity in 2020, the acquisition of our joint venture partner’s 75.0% interest in the Forum in 2021 and payments of earnest money deposits for the expected acquisition of a portfolio of office assets from PAC in 2021, 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 2021 to be primarily driven by whether or not we acquire and/or commence development of additional office buildings. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021,believe we have approximately $51 million leftample liquidity to fund our operations and growth prospects. As of April 19, 2022, we had approximately $26.0 million of available cash and $110.0 million drawn on our previously-announced development activity$750.0 million revolving credit facility, which is scheduled to mature in 2021 and future years. We expect these usesMarch 2025. 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, 2022, our leverage ratio, as measured by the ratio of cash for investing activities will be partly offset by proceeds from property dispositions for the remainder of 2021.

The change in net cash used in financing activities in the first six months of 2021 as compared to 2020 was primarily due to higher net debt repayments in 2020. Assuming the net effect of our acquisition, disposition and development activity in 2021 results in an increase to our assets, we would expect outstanding debt and/or Common Stock balances to increase.

At June 30, 2021, our mortgages and notes payable and outstanding preferred stock represented 34.1% of our total capitalization and 37.3% ofto the undepreciated book value of our assets. See also “Executive Summary - Liquidityassets, was 39.7% and Capital Resources.”there were 107.7 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 $639.9 million of availability at April 19, 2022. 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.

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.

Our mortgageslong-term liquidity uses generally consist of the retirement or refinancing of debt upon maturity, funding of building improvements, new building developments and notes payable asland infrastructure projects and funding acquisitions of June 30, 2021 consisted of $92.3buildings and development land. The expected future capital expenditures, which includes our joint venture partners' share, for started and/or committed new consolidated and unconsolidated development projects were approximately $150 million of secured indebtedness with an interest rate of 4.0% and $2,396.5 million of unsecured indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 3.26%. The securedat March 31, 2022. Additionally, we may, from time to time, retire outstanding equity and/or debt securities through redemptions, open market repurchases, privately negotiated acquisitions or otherwise.

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”) 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 return on the resulting use of proceeds does not exceed the capitalization rate on the sold properties.

Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

Rental and Other Revenues

Rental and other revenues were $22.6 million, or 12.3%, higher in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to the acquisition of real estate assets from PAC, development properties placed in service and higher same property revenues, which increased rental and other revenues by $16.6 million, $8.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively. Same property rental and other revenues were higher primarily due to higher average GAAP rents per rentable square foot, higher average occupancy and higher cost recovery and parking income. These increases were partially offset by lost revenue of $8.5 million from property dispositions. We expect rental and other revenues to be higher for the remainder of 2022 as compared to 2021 for similar reasons.

Operating Expenses

Rental property and other expenses were $5.2 million, or 9.3%, higher in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to the acquisition of real estate assets from PAC, higher same property operating expenses and development properties placed in service, which increased operating expenses by $4.3 million, $2.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Same property operating expenses were higher primarily due to higher contract services, utilities and repairs and maintenance. These increases were partially offset by a $3.0 million decrease in operating expenses from property dispositions. We expect rental property and other expenses to be higher for the remainder of 2022 as compared to 2021 for similar reasons.

Depreciation and amortization was $8.7 million, or 14.3%, higher in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to the acquisition of real estate assets from PAC, development properties placed in service and higher same property lease related depreciation and amortization, partially offset by fully amortized acquisition-related intangible assets and property dispositions. We expect depreciation and amortization to be higher for the remainder of 2022 as compared to 2021 for similar reasons.

General and administrative expenses were $3.6 million, or 36.2%, higher in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to higher long-term equity incentive compensation, salaries, benefits and office rent. We expect general and administrative expenses to be lower for the remainder of 2022 as compared to 2021 due to lower incentive compensation, partially offset by higher salaries, benefits and office rent. First quarter general and administrative expenses are typically higher than in subsequent quarters due to higher long-term equity incentive compensation recognized for certain employees who meet the age and service eligibility requirements under our retirement plan. Long-term equity incentive compensation awards are typically issued during the first quarter of each year.

Interest Expense

Interest expense was $4.6 million, or 23.4%, higher in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to higher average debt balances and lower capitalized interest. We expect interest expense to be higher for the remainder of 2022 as compared to 2021 due to higher average interest rates and lower capitalized interest.

Other Income

Other income was $0.1 million higher in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to a loss on debt extinguishment in 2021.

Gains on Disposition of Property

Gains on disposition of property were $14.8 million lower in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021 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 $0.3 million, or 52.9%, lower in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021 primarily due to the acquisition of our joint venture partner’s 75.0% interest in our Highwoods DLF Forum, LLC joint venture (the “Forum”) in the first quarter of 2021.

Earnings Per Common Share - Diluted

Diluted earnings per common share was $0.14 lower in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021 due to a decrease in net income for the reasons discussed above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Statements of Cash Flows

We report and analyze our cash flows based on operating activities, investing activities and financing activities. The following table sets forth the changes in the Company’s cash flows (in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20222021Change
Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities$74,078 $82,980 $(8,902)
Net Cash Used In Investing Activities(59,417)(154,917)95,500 
Net Cash Used In Financing Activities(13,120)(58,929)45,809 
Total Cash Flows$1,541 $(130,866)$132,407 

The change in net cash provided by operating activities in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021 was primarily due to changes in operating assets and liabilities and property dispositions, partially offset by higher net cash from the operations of acquired real estate assets from PAC, same properties and development properties placed in service. We expect net cash related to operating activities to be higher for the remainder of 2022 as compared to 2021 due to higher net cash from the operations of acquired real estate assets from PAC and development properties placed in service, partially offset by property dispositions.

The change in net cash used in investing activities in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021 was primarily due to the acquisition of our joint venture partner’s 75.0% interest in the Forum in 2021, partially offset by greater net proceeds from disposition activity in 2021 and our investment in the 2827 Peachtree joint venture in 2022. We expect uses of cash for investing activities for the remainder of 2022 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, 2022, we have approximately $150 million left to fund of our previously-announced development activity in 2022 and future years. We expect these uses of cash for investing activities will be partially offset by proceeds from property dispositions for the remainder of 2022.

The change in net cash used in financing activities in the first quarter of 2022 as compared to 2021 was primarily due to net debt borrowings in 2022. Assuming the net effect of our acquisition, disposition and development activity in 2022 results in an increase to our assets, we would expect outstanding debt and/or Common Stock balances to increase.

Table of Contents

Our mortgages and notes payable as of March 31, 2022 consisted of $490.0 million of secured indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 3.63% and $2,352.5 million of unsecured indebtedness with a weighted average interest rate of 3.30%. The secured indebtedness was collateralized by real estate assets with an undepreciated book value of $728.1 million. As of March 31, 2022, $310.0 million of our debt does not bear interest at fixed rates or is not protected by interest rate hedge contracts.

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 1A. Risk Factors - Risks Related to our Capital Recycling Activity - 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” in our 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During the second quarter of 2021, we agreed to acquire a portfolio of office assets from PAC. The core portfolio to be acquired consists of the following four Class A office assets in Charlotte and Raleigh, which encompass 1,630,000 square feet in total, and one mixed-use redevelopment site in Atlanta: 150 Fayetteville, Raleigh (CBD); CAPTRUST Tower, Raleigh (North Hills); Capitol Towers, Charlotte (SouthPark); Morrocroft Centre, Charlotte (SouthPark); and Galleria 75, Atlanta (Cumberland/Galleria). We have also agreed to acquire two non-core assets: a mezzanine loan related to a recently constructed office building in Atlanta; and Armour Yards, a multi-building creative office project in Atlanta. Our total investment, including the estimated value of the non-core assets, is expected to be $769 million, which includes $28 million of near-term building improvements and $5 million of transaction costs. The transaction is expected to include, among other things, the assumption of four secured loans collateralized by the core office buildings estimated to be recorded at fair value of $403 million in the aggregate, with a weighted average effective interest rate of 3.7% and a weighted average maturity of 10.8 years. The value of the non-core assets represents less than 12% of the anticipated total investment. The acquisition, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is scheduled to close within 30 days of the filing of this Quarterly Report. As of July 20, 2021, we have posted $60.0 million of earnest money deposits (of which $55.0 million were recorded in prepaid expenses and other assets at June 30, 2021) that are non-refundable except in limited circumstances. As part of the transaction, PAC will separately market Armour Yards for sale to a third party. If PAC chooses not to sell Armour Yards to a third party, we will close on the acquisition of the creative office project no later than the first quarter of 2022.

We plan to fund the initial $250 million cash portion of the purchase price with a combination of restricted cash currently held in escrow as the result of recent non-core asset sales, borrowings under our current $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility and an expected $200 million, six-month unsecured bridge facility from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. Both facilities bear interest at LIBOR plus 90 basis points. The bridge facility, which is subject to definitive documentation and customary conditions, can be extended at our option for an additional six-month period and will contain financial and other covenants that are similar to the covenants under our revolving credit facility.

Our plan is to ultimately fund the acquisition primarily by accelerating the sale of $500 to $600 million of existing non-core assets by mid-2022, approximately half of which is planned to close by year-end 2021. Since our announcement on April 19, 2021 to acquire the portfolio of office assets from PAC, we have sold $43.0 million of non-core assets. We can provide no assurances, however, that we will dispose of any assets on favorable terms, or at all, because the dispositions are subject to the negotiation and execution of sale agreements and would then be subject to the buyers’ completion of satisfactory due diligence and other customary closing conditions. Approximately $250 million, or an amount equal to the cash portion of the purchase price, of the planned dispositions are expected to qualify for tax-deferred treatment under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code.

During the second quarter of 2021, we acquired development land in Nashville for a purchase price, including capitalized acquisition costs, of $16.1 million, which is expected to be paid within two years.- Dispositions

During the secondfirst quarter of 2021,2022, we sold a buildingland in Tampa for a salesales price of $43.0$9.6 million (before closing credits to buyer of $0.9 million) and recorded a gain on disposition of property of $22.9$4.1 million.

Financing Activity

During 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’ transactions on the New York Stock Exchange (“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 secondfirst quarter of 2021,2022, the Company issued 149,100130,011 shares of Common Stock at an average gross sales price of $46.11$46.50 per share and received net proceeds, after sales commissions, of $6.8$6.0 million. We paid an aggregate of $0.1 million in sales commissions to Wells FargoSunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. (which now operates under the trade name “Truist Securities, LLCInc.”) during the second quarter of 2021.

During the second quarter of 2021, we prepaid without penalty the remaining $150.0 million principal amount of 3.20% unsecured notes that was scheduled to mature in June 2021. We recorded $0.1 million of loss on debt extinguishment related to this prepayment.

During the first quarter of 2021, we entered into a new2022.

Our $750.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility which replaced our previously existing $600.0 million revolving credit facilityis scheduled to mature in March 2025 and includes an accordion feature that allows for an additional $550.0 million of borrowing capacity subject to additional lender commitments. Our new revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in March 2025. Assuming no defaults have occurred, we have an option to extend the maturity for two additional six-month periods. The current interest rate on the new facility at
35

Table of Contents
our existingcurrent credit ratings is LIBOR plus 90 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’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services. The financial and other covenants under the new facility are substantially similar to our previous credit facility. We incurred $4.8 million of debt issuance costs, which will be amortized along with certain existing unamortized debt issuance costs over the remaining term of our new revolving credit facility. We recorded $0.1 million of loss on debt extinguishment. There was $155.0$110.0 million outstanding under our new revolving credit facility at both June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and July 20, 2021.April 19, 2022. At both June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and July 20, 2021,April 19, 2022, we had $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 both June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and July 20, 2021April 19, 2022 was $594.9$639.9 million.

We previously entered into floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps through January 2022 with respect to an aggregate of $50 million LIBOR-based borrowings. These swaps effectively fixed the underlying one month LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 1.693%. During the first quarter of 2022, these interest rate swaps expired.

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 our revolving credit facility, the lenders having at least 51.0% of the total commitments under our 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 $35.0 million with respect to other loans in some circumstances.

The indenture that governs the Operating Partnership’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.

42

Table of Contents
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’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”). 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’s Board of Directors. For a discussion of the factors that will affect such cash flows and, accordingly, influence the decisions of the Company’s Board of Directors regarding dividends and distributions, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Dividends and Distributions” in our 20202021 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

During the secondfirst quarter of 2021,2022, the Company declared and paid a cash dividend of $0.48$0.50 per share of Common Stock.

On July 27, 2021,April 20, 2022, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per share of Common Stock, which is payable on September 8, 2021June 14, 2022 to stockholders of record as of August 16, 2021.May 23, 2022.

Current and Future Cash Needs

term loans, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, and an expected $200 million, six-month unsecured bridge facility from JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., 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, including funding the $250$200.0 million unsecured bank term loan that is scheduled to mature in November 2022 and the $250.0 million principal amount of unsecured notes that are scheduled to mature in January 2023. We generally believe existing cash portion of the purchase priceand rental and other revenues will continue to acquire abe sufficient to fund operating and general and administrative expenses, interest expense, our existing quarterly dividend and existing portfolio of assets from PAC. See “Investment Activity.”capital expenditures, including building improvement costs, tenant improvement costs and lease commissions.

We had $18.7 million of cash and cash equivalents as of March 31, 2022. The unused capacity of our revolving credit facility at both June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 and July 20, 2021April 19, 2022 was $594.9$639.9 million, excluding an accordion feature that allows for an additional $550.0 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’ 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).

As noted above under “Investment Activity,”In April 2021, we announced a plan to sell $250fund the acquisition of real estate assets from PAC by selling $500 million to $300$600 million of non-core assets duringby mid-2022. From the remainderdate of 2021. Since ourthat announcement through March 31, 2022, we have sold $43$363 million of non-core assets and expect to sell an additional $207 million to $257 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 additional 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 sixthree months ended June 30, 2021.March 31, 2022. For a description of our critical accounting estimates, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Critical Accounting Estimates” in our 20202021 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’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’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’ 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’s operating performance.

The Company’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

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’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 June 30,March 31, 2022, our same property portfolio consisted of 153 in-service properties encompassing 24.9 million rentable square feet that were wholly owned during the entirety of the periods presented (from January 1, 2021 to March 31, 2022). As of December 31, 2021, our same property portfolio consisted of 161148 in-service properties encompassing 25.724.2 million

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” 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 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital 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 June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had $2,133.8$2,532.5 million principal amount of fixed rate debt outstanding, a $150.2$1.6 million decrease as compared to December 31, 2020,2021, 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 $2,277.3$2,470.1 million. If interest rates had been 100 basis points higher, the aggregate fair market value of our fixed rate debt would have been $141.4$140.0 million lower. If interest rates had been 100 basis points lower, the aggregate fair market value of our fixed rate debt would have been $153.3$151.2 million higher.

At June 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, we had $305.0$310.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding, a $155.0$90.0 million increase as compared to December 31, 2020,2021, 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 June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 would increase or decrease by $3.1 million.

At June 30, 2021, we had $50.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding with $50.0 million of related floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps. These swaps effectively fix the underlying one-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 June 30, 2021 would increase or decrease by $0.3 million.

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’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’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 June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. There were also no changes in internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2021March 31, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Operating Partnership’s internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

We face risks associated with security breaches through cyberattacks, cyber intrusions or otherwise, as well as other significant disruptions of our information technology networks and related systems. The audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing management’s risk assessment and risk management processes designed to monitor and control information security risk. Anne Lloyd, chair of our audit committee, has significant experience overseeing the technology function and processes at other public companies. Ryan Hunt, the Company’s chief information officer, who holds a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems Management and has held multiple technology positions at the Company, has announced that Mark F. Mulhern, 61, will retire as Executive Vice Presidentregularly briefs the audit committee on information security matters. These briefings generally occur on a quarterly basis. The chief information officer also generally briefs a management committee composed of the Company’s CEO, CFO and Chief Financial Officer effective January 1, 2022. Brendan C. Maiorana, 45,multiple other executive officers on a quarterly basis. The chief information officer, who currently serves as Executive Vice President of Finance and Treasurer, will assumeleads our internal technology department, reports directly to the role of Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer upon Mr. Mulhern’s retirement. Mr. Maiorana became Executive Vice President of Finance in July 2019 and assumed the role of Treasurer in January 2021. Prior to that, he was our Senior Vice President of Finance and Investor Relations since May 2016. Prior to joining Highwoods, Mr. Maiorana spent 11 years in equity research at Wells Fargo Securities, starting as an associate equity research analyst. Prior to that, he worked four years at Ernst & Young LLP.Company’s CEO.

In recent years, we have allocated increased resources to further strengthen our approach to identify and mitigate information security risks which we believe is commercially reasonable for real estate companies, including some of the best practices of the National Institute of Standards and Technology cybersecurity framework. Since January 1, 2018, we have not experienced any information security breaches that resulted in any financial loss. We have both a disaster recovery plan, designed to restore critical systems following a cyberattack, and a business continuity plan, designed to assist management in appropriately responding and continuing to conduct business in the event of a cyberattack. Additionally, we have a cyber risk insurance policy designed to help us mitigate risk exposure by offsetting costs involved with recovery and remediation after an information security breach or similar event. We engage independent third parties to test our information security processes and systems as part of our overall enterprise risk management generally on an annual basis.

We also conduct real-world threat assessments to maintain up-to-date defenses against cyberattacks. The chief information officer solicits feedback from employees and outside advisors to identify potential gaps in information security defenses and identify areas in need of additional investment. We conduct information security training to ensure all employees are aware of information security risks and enable them to take steps to mitigate such risks and intend to continue doing so on a quarterly basis in the future. As part of this program, we also take reasonable steps to ensure any employee who may come into possession of confidential personal financial or health information has received appropriate information security awareness training.

Recognizing the risks to our own cybersecurity that can be posed by third-party service providers, the chief information officer has identified key vendors who provide services to the Company. Increased attention is devoted to identifying and mitigating cybersecurity risks associated with the use of these third-party service providers. Such providers may be asked to present the Company with internal audits or other simulation test results verifying information security procedures.
