Description of Business

Highwoods Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) is a fully integrated office real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns, develops, acquires, leases and manages properties primarily in the best business districts of Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Nashville, Orlando, Raleigh, Richmond and Tampa. The Company conducts its activities through Highwoods Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). As of June 30, 2026, we owned or had an interest in 27.7 million rentable square feet of in-service properties, 0.6 million rentable square feet of office properties under development and development land with approximately 3.5 million rentable square feet of potential office build out.

Capital Structure

The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2026, the Company owned all of the Preferred Units and 109.9 million, or 98.2%, of the Common Units in the Operating Partnership. Limited partners owned the remaining 2.0 million Common Units. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company redeemed 25,855 Common Units for a like number of shares of Common Stock and 950 Common Units for cash.

During the first quarter of 2026, we entered into separate equity distribution agreements pursuant to which the Company may offer and sell up to $300.0 million in aggregate gross sales price of shares of Common Stock, including on a forward basis under forward sale agreements. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company issued no shares of Common Stock under its equity distribution agreements.

During the second quarter of 2026, we announced that the Company’s Board of Directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $250.0 million of outstanding shares of Common Stock under a new stock repurchase program. We anticipate funding any stock repurchases with proceeds from non-core asset sales, available cash and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. The Company may purchase shares of Common Stock from time to time in amounts and at prices determined by the Company in its discretion. Shares of Common Stock may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions (which may include block trades). If and when the Company repurchases Common Stock under this program, the Operating Partnership will repurchase an equal number of Common Units from the Company. The timing, manner, price and actual number of shares repurchased will be subject to a variety of factors, including price, market conditions, corporate and regulatory requirements, applicable SEC rules and other liquidity requirements and priorities. The Common Stock repurchase program does not have an expiration date, does not obligate the Company to repurchase any dollar amount or number of shares and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company repurchased no shares of Common Stock under its stock repurchase program.

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. In addition, we consolidate those entities deemed to be variable interest entities in which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary.

As of June 30, 2026, we are involved with six entities we determined to be variable interest entities, three of which we are the primary beneficiary and are consolidated and three of which we are not the primary beneficiary and are not consolidated. In
addition, during 2025, we acquired a building using a special purpose entity owned by a qualified intermediary to facilitate a potential Section 1031 reverse exchange under the Internal Revenue Code. To realize the tax deferral available under the Section 1031 exchange, we were required to complete the Section 1031 exchange, and take title to the to-be-exchanged building within 180 days of the acquisition date. We completed the exchange by acquiring 100% of the special purpose entity in May 2026.

All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information 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 2025 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. To limit our exposure to significant claims, we have stop-loss coverage on a per claim and annual aggregate basis. We use all relevant information to determine our liabilities for claims, including actuarial estimates of claim liabilities. When determining our liabilities, we include claims for incurred losses, even if they are unreported. As of June 30, 2026, a reserve of $0.4 million was recorded to cover estimated reported and unreported claims.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) that requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses. Certain expense captions will be disaggregated into specified categories in disclosures within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The ASU is required to be adopted starting with our 2027 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not expect this adoption will have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

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. Our office properties that are under lease are primarily located in Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Nashville, Orlando, 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 $211.5 million and $222.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $421.3 million and $392.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Included in these amounts were variable lease payments of $18.8 million and $16.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively, and $36.9 million and $33.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]  
Investments in and Advances to Affiliates Investments in and Advances to Affiliates
We have interests in various real estate joint ventures that are evaluated for consolidation under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model or the voting interest model, depending on the facts and circumstances of each joint venture. For our unconsolidated affiliates that are evaluated under the VIE model, we determined that we hold variable interests, but we are not the primary beneficiary because we do not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entities’ economic performance. Accordingly, these entities are not consolidated. For our unconsolidated affiliates that are evaluated under the voting interest model, we determined through evaluation of our voting rights that control does not rest with us. Accordingly, these entities are not consolidated. For our consolidated affiliates that are evaluated under the VIE model, we determined that we hold variable interests, and we are the primary beneficiary because we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly affect the entities’ economic performance. Accordingly, these entities are consolidated.

Unconsolidated Affiliates

Our unconsolidated joint ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting because we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the entities. Our maximum exposure to loss from our unconsolidated VIEs is generally limited to the carrying value of our investments and any loans or other advances we have provided to the joint ventures. The assets of these unconsolidated VIEs may be used only to settle their own obligations, and their creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets.

The following table summarizes our unconsolidated affiliates as of June 30, 2026:

(1)During the second quarter of 2026, Granite Park Six JV, LLC (“Granite Park Six joint venture”) obtained a secured loan for up to $100.0 million with a maturity date of April 2028 (but can be extended for one additional year at the joint venture’s option assuming no defaults have occurred). In connection with this loan, the Granite Park Six joint venture obtained an interest rate hedge contract that effectively fixed the overall interest rate at 5.9%. As of June 30, 2026, $86.6 million was drawn on this loan. The joint venture used the net proceeds from the secured loan to redeem the preferred equity that we contributed during the first quarter of 2026 and distributed the remainder equally to us and our partner, Granite Properties (“Granite”). As a result of these reconsideration events, the Granite Park Six joint venture is no longer a VIE since it now has sufficient equity at risk. This joint venture is now evaluated under the voting interest model, and the entity remains unconsolidated.
(2)As of June 30, 2026, GPI 23Springs JV, LLC (“23Springs joint venture”) had $192.0 million outstanding under its construction loan, which matures in March 2027.
(3)As of June 30, 2026, Midtown East Tampa, LLC (“Midtown East joint venture”) had $43.7 million outstanding under the loan we previously provided to the joint venture. See Note 13.
(4)As of June 30, 2026, Brand/HRLP 2827 Peachtree LLC (“2827 Peachtree joint venture”) had $51.5 million outstanding under the loan we have provided to the joint venture.

Consolidated Affiliates

As of June 30, 2026, our consolidated VIEs consisted of the following: HRLP Bloc 83, L.P. (“Bloc 83 joint venture”) in Raleigh in which we own a 10.0% interest (but retain an option to increase our ownership interest to 50.0% in the future), Terraces JV, LLC (“Terraces joint venture”) in Dallas in which we own an 80.0% interest and HRLP MTW, LLC (“Midtown West joint venture”) in Tampa in which we own an 80.0% interest. The assets of these consolidated VIEs may be used only to settle their own obligations, and their creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets.
During the first quarter of 2026, we acquired Bloc83, a two-building, 492,000 square foot mixed-use asset in CBD Raleigh, through the formation of the Bloc 83 joint venture with the North Carolina Investment Authority (“NCIA”). The joint venture’s planned total investment of $210.5 million, which includes planned near-term building improvements and transaction costs, has been or will be funded with $21.0 million of common equity contributed by us and $189.5 million of common equity contributed by the NCIA. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at relative fair value as determined by management based on information available at the acquisition date and on current assumptions as to future operations.

During the first quarter of 2026, we expanded our Dallas market presence by acquiring The Terraces, a 173,000 square foot office building in the Preston Center BBD of Dallas, through the formation of the Terraces joint venture with Granite. The joint venture’s planned total investment of $109.3 million, which includes planned near-term building improvements and transaction costs, has been or will be funded with $64.3 million of preferred equity contributed by us, $36.0 million of common equity contributed by us and $9.0 million of common equity contributed by Granite. The preferred equity contributed by us is entitled to receive monthly distributions from available cash at a rate of 5.75%. The assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded at relative fair value as determined by management based on information available at the acquisition date and on current assumptions as to future operations.

Total mortgages and notes payable, net$3,515,608 $3,554,178 

As of June 30, 2026, our secured mortgage loans were collateralized by real estate assets with an undepreciated book value of $1,288.1 million.

Our $750.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility is scheduled to mature in January 2028 (but can be extended for two additional six-month periods at our option assuming no defaults have occurred). The interest rate on our revolving credit facility is SOFR plus 85 basis points, based on current credit ratings. 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 interest rate may be adjusted upward or downward by 2.5 basis points depending upon whether or not we achieve certain pre-determined sustainability goals with respect to the ongoing reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. There were no amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2026 and July 21, 2026, respectively. As of both June 30, 2026 and July 21, 2026, we had $0.1 million of outstanding letters of credit, which reduce the availability on our revolving credit facility. As a result, the unused capacity of our revolving credit facility was $749.9 million as of June 30, 2026 and July 21, 2026, respectively.

During the second quarter of 2026, we modified our $150.0 million unsecured bank term loan to extend the maturity date from May 2027 to June 2029. The term can be extended for two additional years at our option, assuming no defaults have occurred. The interest rate is SOFR plus 90 basis points, based on current credit ratings. The interest rate is based on the higher of the publicly announced ratings from Moody’s Investors Service or Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services. The interest rate may be adjusted upward or downward by 2.5 basis points depending upon whether or not we achieve certain pre-determined sustainability goals with respect to the ongoing reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. We incurred $1.4 million of debt issuance costs, which are being amortized along with certain existing unamortized debt issuance costs over the remaining term of our modified term loan, and recorded $0.1 million of loss on debt extinguishment.

During the second quarter of 2026, we repurchased an aggregate of $11.0 million principal amount of unsecured notes due March 2027.

We are currently in compliance with financial covenants with respect to our consolidated debt.

We have considered our short-term liquidity needs within one year from July 28, 2026 (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 given consideration to our scheduled debt maturities during such one-year period, which consists of $289.1 million principal amount of unsecured notes that are scheduled to mature in March 2027. We have 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;
•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.

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, which uses 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.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segment Information Segment Information
Our principal business is the operation, acquisition and development of rental office properties. We evaluate our business by geographic location, which is why our primary geographic locations are included as reportable segments below. The operating results by geographic grouping are regularly reviewed by our chief operating decision maker for assessing performance and other purposes. Our chief executive officer is our chief operating decision maker. There are no material inter-segment transactions.
Our accounting policies of the segments are the same as those used in our Consolidated Financial Statements. All operations are within the United States.
The following tables summarize rental and other revenues, rental property and other expenses and net operating income for each of our reportable segments. Net operating income is the primary industry property-level performance metric used by our chief operating decision maker and is defined as rental and other revenues less rental property and other expenses. Our chief operating decision maker uses net operating income to help assess segment performance and decide how to allocate resources accordingly.

On July 22, 2026, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per share of Common Stock, which is payable on September 9, 2026 to stockholders of record as of August 17, 2026.
On July 7, 2026, the Midtown East joint venture obtained a two-tranche secured mortgage loan from a third party lender. The first tranche consists of a $44.8 million secured loan that was used to repay the $43.8 million balance on a secured construction loan that we previously provided the joint venture. The second tranche consists of a $10.9 million non-revolving line of credit. As of July 7, 2026, less than $0.1 million was drawn on the line of credit. Both tranches bear interest at SOFR plus 205 basis points and are scheduled to mature in July 2036. In connection with this loan, the Midtown East joint venture obtained interest rate hedge contracts that effectively fix the weighted average rate of both tranches at 6.3%.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation
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. In addition, we consolidate those entities deemed to be variable interest entities in which we are determined to be the primary beneficiary.

As of June 30, 2026, we are involved with six entities we determined to be variable interest entities, three of which we are the primary beneficiary and are consolidated and three of which we are not the primary beneficiary and are not consolidated. In
addition, during 2025, we acquired a building using a special purpose entity owned by a qualified intermediary to facilitate a potential Section 1031 reverse exchange under the Internal Revenue Code. To realize the tax deferral available under the Section 1031 exchange, we were required to complete the Section 1031 exchange, and take title to the to-be-exchanged building within 180 days of the acquisition date. We completed the exchange by acquiring 100% of the special purpose entity in May 2026.

All intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying unaudited consolidated financial information 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 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Use of Estimates
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
Insurance
We are primarily self-insured for health care claims for participating employees. To limit our exposure to significant claims, we have stop-loss coverage on a per claim and annual aggregate basis. We use all relevant information to determine our liabilities for claims, including actuarial estimates of claim liabilities. When determining our liabilities, we include claims for incurred losses, even if they are unreported.
Recently Issued Accounting Standards
Recently Issued Accounting Standards

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) that requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses. Certain expense captions will be disaggregated into specified categories in disclosures within the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The ASU is required to be adopted starting with our 2027 Annual Report on Form 10-K. We do not expect this adoption will have a material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

(1)During the second quarter of 2026, Granite Park Six JV, LLC (“Granite Park Six joint venture”) obtained a secured loan for up to $100.0 million with a maturity date of April 2028 (but can be extended for one additional year at the joint venture’s option assuming no defaults have occurred). In connection with this loan, the Granite Park Six joint venture obtained an interest rate hedge contract that effectively fixed the overall interest rate at 5.9%. As of June 30, 2026, $86.6 million was drawn on this loan. The joint venture used the net proceeds from the secured loan to redeem the preferred equity that we contributed during the first quarter of 2026 and distributed the remainder equally to us and our partner, Granite Properties (“Granite”). As a result of these reconsideration events, the Granite Park Six joint venture is no longer a VIE since it now has sufficient equity at risk. This joint venture is now evaluated under the voting interest model, and the entity remains unconsolidated.
(2)As of June 30, 2026, GPI 23Springs JV, LLC (“23Springs joint venture”) had $192.0 million outstanding under its construction loan, which matures in March 2027.
(3)As of June 30, 2026, Midtown East Tampa, LLC (“Midtown East joint venture”) had $43.7 million outstanding under the loan we previously provided to the joint venture. See Note 13.
(4)As of June 30, 2026, Brand/HRLP 2827 Peachtree LLC (“2827 Peachtree joint venture”) had $51.5 million outstanding under the loan we have provided to the joint venture.
