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 September 30, 2025, we owned or had an interest in 27.2 million rentable square feet of in-service properties, 1.4 million rentable square feet of office properties under development and development land with approximately 4.2 million rentable square feet of potential office build out.

Capital Structure

The Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2025, the Company owned all of the Preferred Units and 109.1 million, or 98.2%, of the Common Units in the Operating Partnership. Limited partners owned the remaining 2.0 million Common Units. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company redeemed 107,044 Common Units for a like number of shares of Common Stock and 326 Common Units for cash.

Under our existing equity distribution agreements, the Company may offer and sell up to $300.0 million in aggregate gross sales price of shares of Common Stock. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company issued 1,550,588 and 1,595,407 shares of Common Stock, respectively, under its equity distribution agreements and received net proceeds, after sales commissions, of $48.6 million and $50.0 million, respectively. The shares were issued at an average gross sales price of $31.82 during each period. As a result of this activity and the redemptions discussed above, the percentage of Common Units owned by the Company increased from 98.0% as of December 31, 2024 to 98.2% as of September 30, 2025.

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 September 30, 2025, we are involved with six entities we determined to be variable interest entities, one of which we are the primary beneficiary and is consolidated and five of which we are not the primary beneficiary and are not consolidated.

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 2024 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 September 30, 2025, 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 enhanced segment disclosures, primarily regarding significant segment expenses. We have adopted this ASU and applied the new requirements retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Accordingly, our segment disclosures now include rental property and other expenses for each of our reportable segments. See Note 12.

The FASB issued an 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 $228.6 million and $200.7 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $590.5 million and $609.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Included in these amounts were variable lease payments of $16.6 million and $17.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $50.2 million and $56.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

- Granite Park Six JV, LLC/ GPI 23 Springs JV, LLC (“Granite Park Six and 23Springs joint ventures”)

We own the Granite Park Six and 23Springs buildings in Dallas as part of two joint ventures with Granite Properties (“Granite”). We own a 50.0% interest in each of these two joint ventures. We determined that we have a variable interest in both the Granite Park Six and 23Springs joint ventures primarily because the entities were designed to pass along interest rate risk, equity price risk and operation risk to us and Granite as equity holders. The joint ventures were further determined to be variable interest entities as they require additional subordinated financial support in the form of loans because the initial equity investments provided by us and Granite were not sufficient to finance the planned investments and operations. We concluded that we do not have the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of either entity and therefore do not qualify as the primary beneficiary. Accordingly, the entities are not consolidated.

As of September 30, 2025, our risk of loss with respect to these arrangements was limited to the carrying value of each investment balance. Our investment balances were $75.5 million and $103.8 million as of September 30, 2025 for the Granite Park Six and 23Springs joint ventures, respectively. The assets of the Granite Park Six and 23Springs joint ventures can be used only to settle obligations of the respective joint venture, and their creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets.

- M+O JV, LLC (“McKinney & Olive joint venture”)

We own the McKinney & Olive building in Dallas as part of a joint venture with Granite in which we own a 50.0% interest. As part of the original acquisition of McKinney & Olive, the McKinney & Olive joint venture assumed a secured loan recorded at fair value of $137.0 million, with a stated interest rate of 4.5% and an effective interest rate of 5.3%. We determined that we have a variable interest in the McKinney & Olive joint venture primarily because the entity was designed to pass along interest rate risk, equity price risk and operation risk to us and Granite as equity holders. The McKinney & Olive joint venture was further determined to be a variable interest entity as it required additional subordinated financial support in the form of the secured mortgage loan because the initial equity investments by us and Granite were not sufficient to finance its planned investments and operations. The secured mortgage loan was subsequently paid in full at maturity during 2024. We concluded that 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.

As of September 30, 2025, our risk of loss with respect to this arrangement was limited to the carrying value of our investment balance of $178.2 million. The assets of the McKinney & Olive joint venture can be used only to settle obligations of the joint venture, and its creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets.

- Midtown East Tampa, LLC (“Midtown East joint venture”)

We own the Midtown East building in Tampa as part of a joint venture with The Bromley Companies (“Bromley”) in which we own a 50.0% interest. We determined that we have a variable interest in the Midtown East 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 to Bromley as an equity holder. The Midtown East 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 investments provided by us and Bromley were not sufficient to finance its planned investments and operations. We concluded that 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.

As of September 30, 2025, our risk of loss with respect to this arrangement was $45.1 million, which consists of the $13.3 million carrying value of our investment balance plus the $31.8 million outstanding balance of the loan we have provided to the joint venture. The outstanding balance on the loan is recorded in investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The assets of the Midtown East joint venture can be used only to settle obligations of the joint venture, and its creditors have no recourse to our wholly owned assets.
- Brand/HRLP 2827 Peachtree LLC (“2827 Peachtree joint venture”)

We own the 2827 Peachtree building in Atlanta as part of a joint venture with Brand Properties, LLC (“Brand”) in which we own a 50.0% interest. 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 to 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 investments provided by us and Brand were not sufficient to finance its planned investments and operations. We concluded that 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.

As of September 30, 2025, our risk of loss with respect to this arrangement was $61.6 million, which consists of the $12.2 million carrying value of our investment balance plus the $49.4 million outstanding balance of the loan we have provided to the joint venture. The outstanding balance on the loan is recorded in investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. 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.

Consolidated Affiliate

- HRLP MTW, LLC (“Midtown West joint venture”)

We own the Midtown West building in Tampa as part of a joint venture with Bromley in which we own an 80.0% interest. We determined that we have a variable interest in the Midtown West joint venture primarily because the entity was designed to pass along interest rate risk, equity price risk and operation risk to us and Bromley as equity holders. The Midtown West 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 investments provided by us and Bromley were not sufficient to finance its planned investments and operations. We, as the 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. As such, the Midtown West joint venture is consolidated and all intercompany transactions and accounts are eliminated.

As of September 30, 2025, our secured mortgage loans were collateralized by real estate assets with an undepreciated book value of $1,246.6 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 a related spread adjustment of 10 basis points and a borrowing spread of 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 was $220.0 million and $211.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of September 30, 2025 and October 21, 2025, respectively. As of both September 30, 2025 and October 21, 2025, 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 as of September 30, 2025 and October 21, 2025 was $529.9 million and $538.9 million, respectively.

During the third quarter of 2025, we modified our $200.0 million unsecured bank term loan to extend the maturity date from May 2026 to January 2029. The term can be extended for two additional years at our option, assuming no defaults have occurred. The interest rate, based on current credit ratings, is SOFR plus 95 basis points. 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 $2.0 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.

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 October 28, 2025 (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. Importantly, we have no scheduled debt maturities during such one-year period. 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;
•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.

Disclosure About Fair Value of Financial Instruments 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, 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.

The following table sets forth our assets and liabilities and the Company’s noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership that are measured or disclosed at fair value within the fair value hierarchy:

The Level 3 impaired real estate assets measured at a fair value of $19.6 million in the third quarter of 2025 consisted of two non-core, out-of-service assets at Century Center in Atlanta.
For one of the Century Center assets, the impairment resulted from a change in our assumptions about the use of the asset. During the third quarter of 2025, we determined that the highest and best use of this asset is residential and that the existing out-of-service office building will ultimately be demolished, either by us or an eventual buyer of the site. We estimated the fair value of this asset by using the sales comparison method, net of estimated demolition costs from construction bids received, as observable inputs were not available.

For the other Century Center asset, the impairment resulted from a decrease in our estimate of fair value based on the market approach, as observable inputs were not available.

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.

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 September 30, 2025, we are involved with six entities we determined to be variable interest entities, one of which we are the primary beneficiary and is consolidated and five of which we are not the primary beneficiary and are not consolidated.

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 2024 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 enhanced segment disclosures, primarily regarding significant segment expenses. We have adopted this ASU and applied the new requirements retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. Accordingly, our segment disclosures now include rental property and other expenses for each of our reportable segments. See Note 12.

The FASB issued an 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.

The Level 3 impaired real estate assets measured at a fair value of $19.6 million in the third quarter of 2025 consisted of two non-core, out-of-service assets at Century Center in Atlanta.
For one of the Century Center assets, the impairment resulted from a change in our assumptions about the use of the asset. During the third quarter of 2025, we determined that the highest and best use of this asset is residential and that the existing out-of-service office building will ultimately be demolished, either by us or an eventual buyer of the site. We estimated the fair value of this asset by using the sales comparison method, net of estimated demolition costs from construction bids received, as observable inputs were not available.

For the other Century Center asset, the impairment resulted from a decrease in our estimate of fair value based on the market approach, as observable inputs were not available.
