Highwoods Properties Reports Fourth Quarter
and Year End 2008 Results
$0.68 FFO per Diluted Share for Fourth Quarter 2008
(Excluding Impairment on Non-Core Depreciable Assets)
$2.78 FFO per Diluted Share for Full Year 2008
(Excluding Impairment on Non-Core Depreciable Assets)
11% Increase Year-Over-Year Core FFO
Provides 2009 FFO Guidance of $2.53 to $2.72 per Diluted Share
Raleigh, NC – February 11, 2009 – Highwoods Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HIW), the largest owner and operator of suburban office properties in the Southeast, today reported unaudited financial and operational results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2008.
Ed Fritsch, President and CEO stated,“2008 was a year of solid growth for our Company on many fronts. We delivered $201 million of infill development, acquired $43 million of strategically located office properties in Raleigh and Memphis and strengthened our balance sheet with a $195 million common equity raise in September. The 11% year-over-year increase in core FFO reflects the continuing, disciplined execution of our Strategic Plan and is a testament to the hard work and creativity of my co-workers.”
Funds from Operations (FFO) from core operations is reported FFO excluding (1) recurring, non-core operating items such as gains from land and residential condo sales and lease termination fees, and (2) unusual items such as building impairments, preferred stock repurchase charges and insurance settlement gains.
As required by Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), the Company regularly evaluates its assets for potential impairment. In connection with an extensive year-end review, the Company recorded a $32.8 million, non-cash impairment charge in the fourth quarter relating to non-core assets in Winston-Salem. These assets include the 472,000 square foot Madison Park office park and the 176,000 square foot Consolidated Center office park. The average age of the buildings is 23 years and the current occupancy is 55%. Both office parks were acquired in the late 1990’s as part of a 2.5 million square foot portfolio acquisition from a single seller. As previously stated, the Company continues to believe that exiting Winston-Salem is the appropriate long-term strategy.

The Company also provided 2009 FFO guidance of $2.53 to $2.72 per share.“Our 2009 FFO guidance reflects the challenging economic environment and expected dilution from planned dispositions and debt financings. It also reflects the benefits of a stronger, better located portfolio, $93 million of development deliveries, and a cycle-tested management team focused on maintaining our strong balance sheet, leasing space, providing excellent customer service and controlling expenses,” added Fritsch.

Funds from Operations Outlook
For 2009, the Company expects FFO per diluted share to be in the range of $2.53 to $2.72. This estimate reflects management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels, operating and general and administrative expenses, interest rates, gains from land and condominium sales and the timing and impact of development deliveries and acquisitions. This estimate also includes expected dilution from projected property dispositions and expected higher costs from projected debt financings in 2009, which collectively are expected to reduce FFO per diluted share by $0.12 to $0.18. FFO guidance excludes any gains or impairments associated with depreciable properties or joint venture interests, as well as unusual charges or credits that may occur during the year. FFO guidance is based on 67.6 million diluted shares outstanding. Factors that could cause actual 2009 FFO results to differ materially from Highwoods’ current expectations are discussed below and are also detailed in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Management’s outlook for 2009 is based on the following operating assumptions:
| | | | | | | | |
| | | Low | | | High | |
Year End Occupancy | | | 87.0 | % | | | 90.0 | % |
Cash NOI Growth | | | -1.5 | % | | | +1.0 | % |
G&A Expenses | | $ | 34.0 | M | | $ | 36.0 | M |
Lease Termination Income | | $ | 1.0 | M | | $ | 3.0 | M |
Gains from Land and Residential Condominium Sales | | $ | 2.0 | M | | $ | 4.0 | M |

Non-GAAP Information
Funds from Operations (“FFO”): We believe that FFO and FFO per share are beneficial to management and investors and are important indicators of the performance of any equity REIT. Because FFO and FFO per share calculations exclude such factors as depreciation and amortization 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. Our 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, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, management believes that the use of FFO and FFO per share, together with the required GAAP presentations, provide a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing and investing activities.
FFO and FFO per share as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to our calculation of FFO and FFO per share as described below. FFO and FFO 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 our operating performance because FFO and FFO per share include adjustments that investors may deem subjective, such as adding back expenses such as depreciation and amortization. Furthermore, FFO per share does not depict the amount that accrues directly to the stockholders’ benefit. Accordingly, FFO and FFO per share should never be considered as alternatives to net income or net income per share as indicators of our operating performance.
The calculation of FFO as defined by NAREIT as follows:
| | • | | Net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP; |
| | • | | Less dividends to holders of preferred stock and less excess of preferred stock redemption cost over carrying value; |
| | • | | Plus depreciation and amortization of assets uniquely significant to the real estate industry; |
| | • | | Less gains, or plus losses, from sales of depreciable operating properties (but excluding impairment losses) and excluding items that are classified as extraordinary items under GAAP; |
| | • | | Plus or minus adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures (to reflect Funds from Operations on the same basis); and |
| | • | | Plus or minus adjustments for depreciation and amortization and gains/(losses) on sales and minority interest related to discontinued operations. |
In calculating FFO, the Company also adds back minority interest in the income from its operating partnership, which we believe 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 operating partnership units not owned by the Company are redeemable on a one-for-one basis for shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company’s FFO calculations are reconciled to net income in a table included with this release.
Net operating income from continuing operations (“NOI”): The Company defines NOI as “Rental and other revenues” from continuing operations less “Rental property and other expenses” from continuing operations. Management believes that NOI is a useful supplemental measure of the Company’s property operating performance because it provides a performance measure of the revenues and expenses directly involved in owning real estate assets, and provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income or FFO. Other REITs may use different methodologies to calculate NOI and accordingly the Company’s NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. The Company’s NOI

calculations are reconciled to “Income before disposition of property, insurance gain, minority interest and equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates” and to “Rental and other revenues” and “Rental property and other expenses” in a table included with this release.
Same property NOI from continuing operations: The Company defines same property NOI as NOI for the Company’s in-service properties included in continuing operations that were wholly-owned during the entirety of the periods presented (from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2008). The Company’s same property NOI calculations are reconciled to NOI in a table included with this release.

Certain matters discussed in this press release, such as expected 2009 financial and operational results and the related assumptions underlying our expected results, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are distinguished by use of the words “will”, “expect”, “intend” and words of similar meaning. Although Highwoods believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Highwoods’ current expectations include, among others, the following: the financial condition of our customers could deteriorate; speculative development by others could result in excessive supply of properties relative to customer demand; development, acquisition, reinvestment, disposition or joint venture projects may not be completed as quickly or on as favorable terms as anticipated; we may not be able to lease or re-lease space as quickly as anticipated or on as favorable terms as old leases; difficulties in obtaining additional capital to satisfy our future cash needs or increases in interest rates could adversely impact our ability to fund important business initiatives and increase our debt service costs; our Southeastern and Midwestern markets may suffer declines in economic growth; our banking and joint venture partners may suffer financial difficulties that adversely impact their ability to satisfy their contractual obligations to us; and others detailed in the Company’s 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent SEC reports.
