Notes to the Condensed Cons olidated Financial Statements

1. Organization and Description of Business

City Office REIT, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on November 26, 2013 . On April 21, 2014 , the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Company contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to City Office REIT Operating Partnership, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“common units”).

The Company’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles the Company to share in distributions from, and allocations of profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to the Company’s percentage ownership of common units. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement to manage and conduct the Operating Partnership’s business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners.

The Company has elected to be taxed and will continue to operate in a manner that will allow it to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Subject to qualification as a REIT, the Company will be permitted to deduct dividend distributions paid to its stockholders, eliminating the U.S. federal taxation of income represented by such distributions at the Company level. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and, for years prior to 2018, any applicable alternative minimum tax.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Preparation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations and generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“US GAAP”) and in the opinion of management contain all adjustments (including normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Disposition of Real Estate Property

Superior Pointe

On January 14, 2025, the Company sold the Superior Pointe property in Denver, Colorado for a gross sales price of $ 12.0 million. No gain or loss was recognized on the sale as the property was carried at fair value less cost to sell on the date of disposition.

As of March 31, 2025 , the daily-simple Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") was 4.41 % .

(2)

Borrowings under our unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility") bear interest at a rate equal to the daily-simple SOFR rate plus a margin of between 135 to 235 basis points depending upon the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. On February 9, 2023, the Company entered into a three-year interest rate swap for a notional amount of $ 140 million, effective March 8, 2023, effectively fixing the SOFR component of the borrowing rate for $ 140 million of the Unsecured Credit Facility at 4.19 %. As of March 31, 2025 , the Unsecured Credit Facility had $ 255.0 million drawn and a $ 2.5 million letter of credit to satisfy escrow requirements for a mortgage lender. The Unsecured Credit Facility matures in November 2025 and may be extended by 12 months at the Company’s option 90 days prior to maturity, provided there is no event of default, the Company affirms the representations and warranties set forth in the amended and restated credit agreemen t, dated November 16, 2021 for the Unsecured Credit Facility (the "Amended and Restated Credit Agreement"), and the Company pays the extension fee. The Unsecured Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.50 x.

(3)

On January 5, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement and entered into a three-year $ 25 million term loan, increasing its total authorized borrowings from $ 350 million to $ 375 million. Borrowings under the $ 25 million term loan bear interest at a rate equal to the daily-simple SOFR rate plus a margin of 210 basis points. In conjunction with the term loan, the Company also entered into a three-year interest rate swap for a notional amount of $ 25 million, effectively fixing the SOFR component of the borrowing rate of the term loan at 3.90 %.

(4)

The mortgage loan anticipated repayment date (“ARD”) is March 1, 2027. The final scheduled maturity date can be extended up to 5 years beyond the ARD. If the loan is not paid off at ARD, the loan’s interest rate shall be adjusted to the greater of (i) the initial interest rate plus 200 basis points or (ii) the yield on the five year “on the run” treasury reported by Bloomberg market data service plus 450 basis points.

(5)

In the second quarter of 2023, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (“DSCR”) and debt yield covenants for SanTan were not met, which triggered a ‘cash-sweep period’ that began in the second quarter of 2023. As of March 31, 2025, the DSCR and debt yield covenants were still not met. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, total restricted cash for the property was $ 0.9 million and $ 1.6 million, respectively.

(6)

In April 2025, a 'cash-sweep period' began at the Intellicenter property following the DSCR covenant not being met. As of March 31, 2025 , total restricted cash for the property was $ 1.3 million.

(7)

The FRP Collection and Carillon Point loans bear interest at a rate equal to the daily-simple SOFR rate plus a margin of 275 basis points. The SOFR component of the borrowing rate is effectively fixed for the remainder of the five-year term via interest rate swaps at 4.30 %.

(8)

The Central Fairwinds loan bears interest at a rate equal to the daily-simple SOFR rate plus a margin of 325 basis points. The SOFR component of the borrowing rate is effectively fixed for the remainder of the five-year term via an interest rate swap at 4.43 %.

(9)

Under the terms of the FRP Ingenuity Drive loan modification and extension agreement signed in the second quarter of 2024, the property will be in a ‘cash-sweep period’ which will continue through the maturity of the loan. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , total restricted cash for the property was $ 3.7 million and $ 3.6 million, respectively.

The scheduled principal repayments of indebtedness as of March 31, 2025, without consideration of extension options, are as follows (in thousands):

6. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:

Level 1 Inputs – quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2 Inputs – observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities

Level 3 Inputs – unobservable inputs

In January 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $ 25.0 million. The interest rate swap effectively fixes the SOFR component of the corresponding loan at approximately 3.90 % for the three-year term.

In February 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap for a notional amount of $ 140.0 million. The interest rate swap effectively fixes the SOFR component of the corresponding loan at approximately 4.19 % for the three-year term.

In August 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap at FRP Collection for an initial notional amount of $ 26.3 million. The interest rate swap effectively fixes the SOFR component of the corresponding loan at approximately 4.30 % for the five-year term. The notional amount of the interest rate swap amortizes over the term consistent with the balance of the corresponding loan.

In August 2023, the Company entered into an interest rate swap at Carillon Point for an initial notional amount of $ 14.5 million. The interest rate swap effectively fixes the SOFR component of the corresponding loan at approximately 4.30 % for the five-year term. The notional amount of the interest rate swap amortizes over the term consistent with the balance of the corresponding loan.

In May 2024, the Company entered into an interest rate swap at Central Fairwinds for an initial notional amount of $ 15.6 million. The interest rate swap effectively fixes the SOFR component of the corresponding loan at approximately 4.43 % for the five-year term. The notional amount of the interest rate swap amortizes over the term consistent with the balance of the corresponding loan.

The fair value of the interest rate swaps have been classified as Level 2 fair value measurements.

The interest rate swaps have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges and have been recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value, presented within other assets and other liabilities. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives that have been designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are reported as a component of other comprehensive income/(loss) and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes the Company’s derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 (in thousands):


					Fair Value Assets/(Liabilities)
	Notional Value March 31, 2025		Effective Date	Maturity Date	March 31, 2025			December 31, 2024
Interest Rate Swap	$	25,000	January 2023	January 2026	$	24		$	50

	$	220,205			$	( 1,401	)	$	( 736	)

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 , approximately $ 0.1 million of net realized gains were reclassified to interest expense due to payments made to or received from the swap counterparty. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately $ 1.1 million of net realized gains were reclassified to interest expense due to payments made to or received from the swap counterparty.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Rents Receivable, Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities

The Company estimates that the fair value approximates carrying value due to the relatively short-term nature of these instruments.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value

With the exception of fixed rate mortgage loans payable, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair value. The Company determines the fair value of its fixed rate mortgage loans payable based on a discounted cash flow analysis using a discount rate that approximates the current borrowing rates for instruments of similar maturities. Based on this, the Company has determined that the fair value of these instruments was $ 304.3 million and $ 301.8 million (compared to a carrying value of $ 312.9 million and $ 314.1 million) as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 , respectively. Accordingly, the fair value of mortgage loans payable have been classified as Level 3 fair value measurements.

7. Related Party Transactions

Administrative Services Agreements

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company earned $ 0.1 million in administrative services performed for Second City Real Estate II Corporation, Clarity Real Estate Ventures GP, Limited Partnership and their affiliates. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the amounts earned by the Company for the administrative services performed for Second City Real Estate II Corporation, Clarity Real Estate Ventures GP, Limited Partnership and their affiliates were nominal.

8. Leases

Lessor Accounting

The Company is focused on acquiring, owning and operating office properties for lease to a stable and diverse tenant base. The Company’s properties have both full-service gross and net leases which are generally classified as operating leases. Rental income related to such leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. The Company’s total revenue includes fixed base rental payments provided under the lease and variable payments, which principally consist of tenant expense reimbursements for certain property operating expenses as provided under the lease.

Table of Contents

The Company recognized fixed and variable lease payments for operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
Fixed payments	$	36,447	$	37,592
Variable payments		5,594		6,778
	$	42,041	$	44,370

Future minimum lease payments to be received by the Company as of March 31, 2025 under non-cancellable operating leases for the next five years and thereafter are as follows (in thousands):


2025	$	95,305
2026		122,152
2027		104,967
2028		90,015
2029		69,126
Thereafter		138,192
	$	619,757

The Company’s leases may include various provisions such as scheduled rent increases, renewal options and termination options. The majority of the Company’s leases include defined rent increases rather than variable payments based on an index or unknown rate.

Lessee Accounting

As a lessee, the Company has ground and office leases which are classified as operating and financing leases. As of March 31, 2025 , these leases had remaining terms of two to 63 years and a weighted average remaining lease term of 50 years . Right-of-use assets and lease liabilities have been included within other assets and other liabilities on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows (in thousands):


	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Right -of-use asset – operating leases	$	10,024	$	10,101
Lease liability – operating leases	$	8,319	$	8,286
Right -of-use asset – financing leases	$	9,536	$	9,593
Lease liability – financing leases	$	1,659	$	1,637

Lease liabilities are measured at the commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments. One of the Company’s operating ground leases includes rental payment increases over the lease term based on increases in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Changes in the CPI were not estimated as part of the measurement of the operating lease liability. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company used a weighted average discount rate of 6.2 % in determining its lease liabilities. The discount rates were derived from the Company’s assessment of the credit quality of the Company and adjusted to reflect secured borrowing, estimated yield curves and long-term spread adjustments.

Right-of-use assets include any prepaid lease payments and exclude any lease incentives and initial direct costs incurred. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is obligated under certain tenant leases to fund tenant improvements and the expansion of the underlying leased properties.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances disposed, stored, generated, released, manufactured or discharged from, on, at, under, or in a property. As such, the Company may be potentially liable for costs associated with any potential environmental remediation at any of its formerly or currently owned properties.

The Company believes that it is in compliance in all material respects with all federal, state and local ordinances and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances. Management is not aware of any environmental liability that it believes would have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Management is unaware of any instances in which the Company would incur significant environmental costs if any or all properties were sold, disposed of or abandoned. However, there can be no assurance that any such non-compliance, liability, claim or expenditure will not arise in the future.

The Company is involved from time to time in lawsuits and other disputes which arise in the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2025 , management believes that these matters will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

10. Stockholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase Plan

On May 4, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors (the "Board of Directors") approved a share repurchase plan (“Repurchase Program”) authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $ 50 million of its outstanding shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock. Under the share repurchase program, the shares may be repurchased from time to time using a variety of methods, which may include open market transactions, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, all in accordance with the rules of the SEC and other applicable legal requirements.

Repurchased shares of common stock will be classified as authorized and unissued shares. The Company recognizes the cost of shares of common stock it repurchases, including direct costs incurred, as a reduction in stockholders’ equity. Such reductions of stockholders equity due to the repurchases of shares of common stock will be applied first, to reduce common stock in the amount of the par value associated with the shares of common stock repurchased and second, to reduce additional paid-in capital by the amount that the purchase price for the shares of common stock repurchased exceed the par value.

There were no shares repurchased during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Common Stock and Common Unit Distributions

On March 14, 2025 , the Board of Directors approved and the Company declared a cash dividend distribution of $ 0.10 per common share for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025 . The dividend was paid subsequent to quarter end on April 24, 2025 to common stockholders and common unitholders of record as of the close of business on April 10, 2025 , resulting in an aggregate payment of $ 4.0 million.

Preferred Stock Distributions

On March 14, 2025 , the Board of Directors approved and the Company declared a cash dividend distribution of $ 0.4140625 per share of the Company’s 6.625 % Series A Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) for an aggregate amount of $ 1.9 million for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2025 . The dividend was paid subsequent to quarter end on April 24, 2025 to the holders of record of Series A Preferred Stock as of the close of business on April 10, 2025 .

Equity Incentive Plan

The Company has an equity incentive plan (“Equity Incentive Plan”) for executive officers, directors and certain non-executive employees, and with approval of the Board of Directors, for subsidiaries and their respective affiliates. The Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of restricted common stock, restricted stock units, phantom shares, stock options, dividend equivalent rights and other equity-based awards (including the grant of Operating Partnership long-term incentive plan units), subject to the total number of shares available for issuance under the plan. The Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the compensation committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). On May 1, 2025, the Company's stockholders approved an amendment to the Equity Incentive Plan increasing the maximum number of shares of common stock that may be issued under the Equity Incentive Plan from 3,763,580 shares to 5,763,580 shares. To the extent an award granted under the Equity Incentive Plan expires or terminates, the shares subject to any portion of the award that expires or terminates without having been exercised or paid, as the case may be, will again become available for the issuance of additional awards.

On May 2, 2024, each of the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee approved a new form of performance-based restricted unit award agreement (the “Performance RSU Award Agreement”) that will be used to grant performance-based restricted stock unit awards (“Performance RSU Awards”) pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. The Performance RSU Awards are based upon the total stockholder return (“TSR”) of the Company’s common stock over a three-year measurement period beginning January 1 of the year of grant (the “Measurement Period”) relative to the TSR of a defined peer group list of other US Office REIT companies (the “Peer Group”) as of the first trading date in the year of grant. The payouts under the Performance RSU Awards are evaluated on a sliding scale as follows: TSR below the 30th percentile of the Peer Group would result in a 50% payout; TSR at the 50th percentile of the Peer Group would result in a 100% payout; and TSR at or above the 75th percentile of the Peer Group would result in a 150% payout. Payouts are mathematically interpolated between these stated percentile targets, subject to a 150% maximum . To the extent earned, the payouts of the Performance RSU Awards are intended to be settled in the form of shares of the Company’s common stock, pursuant to the Equity Incentive Plan. Upon satisfaction of the vesting conditions, dividend equivalents in an amount equal to all regular and special dividends declared with respect to the Company’s common stock during each annual measurement period during the Measurement Period are determined and paid on a cumulative, reinvested basis over the term of the applicable Performance RSU Award, at the time such award vests and based on the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that are earned. Shares of the Company’s common stock issuable pursuant to the Performance RSU Awards and dividend equivalents granted pursuant to the Performance RSU Award Agreement, taken together with the shares issuable pursuant to any other grants under the Equity Incentive Plan, shall not exceed the annual limitation set forth in Section 6 of the Equity Incentive Plan.

During the first quarter of 2025, the Performance RSU Awards granted in January 2022, with a January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024 Measurement Period, were earned at 50% of the target number of shares granted based on achievement of a TSR that was at or above the 26th percentile of the 2022 Peer Group.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Performance RSU Awards granted in January 2021, with a January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023 Measurement Period, were earned at 120% of the target number of shares granted based on achievement of a TSR that was at or above the 60th percentile of the 2021 Peer Group.

11. Segment Information

The Company is a REIT focused on real estate investments and currently operates in one operating segment: Office Properties. As a group, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer have collectively been identified as the chief operating decision makers (“CODM”), as defined by GAAP. The CODM review financial information presented on a consolidated basis when making decisions. Additionally, the Company does not group its operations on a geographical basis for the purpose of measuring performance.

The CODM use both consolidated net income and net operating income (“NOI”) as the profit or loss measures to evaluate the performance of our operating segment and allocate resources. Refer to the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the presentation of consolidated net income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. NOI is a measure which includes the revenues and certain expenses directly attributable to our office properties. NOI is defined as rental and other

revenues less property operating expenses. NOI is used by the CODM to make operating decisions as we believe it provides information useful in understanding the core operations and operating performance of our portfolio. Total assets are not utilized by the CODM to assess performance.

The following table presents segment NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024

Overview

Company

We were formed as a Maryland corporation on November 26, 2013. On April 21, 2014, we completed our IPO of shares of common stock. We contributed the net proceeds of the IPO to our Operating Partnership in exchange for common units in our Operating Partnership. Both we and our Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions.

Revenue Base

As of March 31, 2025, we owned 22 properties comprised of 54 office buildings with a total of approximately 5.4 million square feet of net rentable area (“NRA”). As of March 31, 2025, our properties were approximately 84.9% leased.

Office Leases

Historically, most leases for our properties have been on a full-service gross or net lease basis, and we expect to continue to use such leases in the future. A full-service gross lease generally has a base year expense “stop,” whereby we pay a stated amount of expenses as part of the rent payment while future increases (above the base year stop) in property operating expenses are billed to the tenant based on such tenant’s proportionate square footage in the property. The property operating expenses are reflected in operating expenses; however, only the increased property operating expenses above the base year stop recovered from tenants are reflected as tenant recoveries within rental and other revenues on our condensed consolidated statements of operations. In a triple net lease, the tenant is typically responsible for all property taxes and operating expenses. As such, the base rent payment does not include any operating expenses, but rather all such expenses are billed to or paid by the tenant. The full amount of the expenses for this lease type is reflected in operating expenses, and the reimbursement is reflected as tenant recoveries. We are also a lessor for a fee simple ground lease at the AmberGlen property.

Factors That May Influence Our Operating Results and Financial Condition

Economic Environment and Inflation

The broader economy in the U.S. has experienced increased levels of inflation, higher interest rates and tightened monetary and fiscal policies. The banking and lending sector in particular has been impacted by the interest rate environment. Recently, interest rates, monetary policy and inflation have begun to shift towards an improved economic environment. Office capital markets activity continues to be suppressed, largely driven by limited debt availability for the sector. However, it remains difficult to predict the full

Table of Contents

impact of recent events and any future changes in interest rates or inflation, and this evolving economic environment impacts our operating activities as:

•

business leaders may generally become more reticent to make large capital allocation decisions, such as entry into a new lease, given the uncertain economic environment;

•

our cost of capital has increased due to higher interest rates and credit spreads, and private market debt financing and re-financing is significantly more challenging to arrange; and

•

retaining and attracting new tenants has become increasingly challenging due to potential business layoffs, downsizing and industry slowdowns.

Despite the current economic environment, there is increasing evidence that many businesses have or will strengthen their in-person work policies particularly if economic conditions worsen. Many of these companies have increased their workforce and requirements for their workforce to work from the office, without increasing their available space. We expect these factors will help offset, at least partially, the headwinds to office space demand.

Work-From-Home Trends

Our business has been impacted by tenant uncertainty regarding office space needs given the evolving remote and hybrid working trends. Usage of our assets in the near future depends on corporate and individual decisions regarding return to usage of office space, which is impossible to estimate. As of March 31, 2025, 12.4% of NRA under our portfolio was vacant, when excluding committed leases, as compared to 14.0% as of March 31, 2024.

Leasing activity has been impacted by work-from-home trends. We have experienced uncertainty over existing tenants’ long-term space requirements. Overall, this could reduce our anticipated rental revenues. In addition, certain tenants in our markets have and may explore opportunities to sublease all or a portion of their leased square footage to other tenants or third parties. While subleasing generally does not impact the ability to collect payment from the original lessee and will not result in any decrease in the rental revenues expected to be received from the primary tenant, this trend could reduce our ability to lease incremental square footage to new tenants, increase the square footage of our properties that “go dark,” reduce anticipated rental revenue should tenants determine their long-term needs for square footage are lower than originally anticipated, and impact the pricing and competitiveness for leasing office space in our markets.

We will continue to actively evaluate business operations and strategies to optimally position ourselves given current economic and industry conditions.

Business and Strategy

We focus on owning office properties in our footprint of growth markets predominantly in the Sun Belt. Our markets generally possess growing populations with above-average employment growth forecasts, a large number of government offices, large international, national and regional employers across diversified industries, generally lower-cost centers for business operations and a high quality of life. We believe these characteristics have made our markets desirable, as evidenced by domestic net migration generally towards our geographic footprint. A majority of our properties are well located, have good access and functionality to our markets, are new or in new condition, attract high-quality tenants and are professionally managed. We utilize our management’s market-specific knowledge and relationships as well as the expertise of local real estate property and leasing managers to identify acquisition opportunities that we believe will offer cash flow stability and long-term value appreciation.

On April 14, 2024, we announced our intention, subject to a variety of conditions, to enter into a joint venture that would result in us having an ownership interest in a condominium development in St. Petersburg, Florida. Although we intend to continue to focus on owning office properties in growth markets predominantly in the Sun Belt, we will continue to evaluate a broad array of potential opportunities that we believe could maximize shareholder value.

Rental Revenue and Tenant Recoveries

The amount of net rental revenue generated by our properties will depend principally on our ability to maintain the occupancy rates of currently leased space and to lease currently available space and space that becomes available from lease terminations. As of March 31, 2025, the operating properties in our portfolio were 84.9% leased, with 7.6% of our leases scheduled to expire over the remainder of the calendar year, without regard to renewal options. The amount of rental revenue generated also depends on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. Our leases typically include rent escalation provisions designed to provide annual growth in our rental income as well as an ability to pass through cost escalations to our tenants, and in the

Table of Contents

normal course of business we do not typically waive these rent escalation provisions. Certain leases contain termination provisions which permit the tenant to terminate the arrangement generally upon payment of a termination fee, which we believe acts as a deterrent to cancelling the lease. These early termination provisions applied to approximately 16.1% of the NRA in our portfolio as of March 31, 2025. In 2025, no tenant has exercised an early termination provision. Negative trends in one or more of these factors could adversely affect our rental revenue in future periods. We continually monitor our tenants’ ability to meet their lease obligations to pay us rent to determine if any adjustments should be reflected currently. General Services Administration (“GSA”) tenants represent approximately 3.9% of the base rental revenue from our properties as of March 31, 2025, with all federal or state governmental agencies representing 5.9%. Future economic downturns or regional downturns affecting our markets or submarkets or downturns in our tenants’ industries, including as a result of high interest rates and the fluctuating likelihood of a U.S. recession, that impair our ability to renew or re-let space and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments, as in the case of tenant bankruptcies, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our properties. In addition, growth in rental revenue will also partially depend on our ability to acquire additional properties that meet our investment criteria.

Table of Contents

(1)

Annualized Average Effective Rent accounts for the impact of straight-line rent adjustments, including the amortization of rent escalations and base rent concessions (e.g., free rent abatements) contained in the lease. The square foot result per property is calculated by multiplying (i) Average Effective Rent for the month ended March 31, 2025 by (ii) 12, divided by the occupied square footage in that period.

(2)

Annualized gross rent per square foot includes adjustment for estimated expense reimbursements of triple net leases.

(3)

Annualized base rent is calculated by multiplying (i) rental payments (defined as cash rents before abatements) for the month ended March 31, 2025 by (ii) 12.

(4)

Annualized base rent per square foot for Block 23 excludes percentage rent leases.

(5)

Averages weighted based on the property’s NRA, adjusted for occupancy.

Operating Expenses

Our operating expenses generally consist of utilities, property and ad valorem taxes, insurance and site maintenance costs. Increases in these expenses over tenants’ base years (until the base year is reset at expiration) are generally passed along to tenants in our full-service gross leased properties and are generally paid in full by tenants in our net leased properties.

Conditions in Our Markets

Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions in the markets we operate in, including state budgetary shortfalls, employment rates, natural hazards and other factors, may impact our overall performance. While we generally expect the trend of positive population and economic growth in our Sun Belt cities to continue, there is no way for us to predict whether these trends will continue, especially in light of inflation and elevated interest rates as well as potential changes in tax policy, trade policy, immigration policy, fiscal policy and monetary policy. In addition, it is uncertain and impossible to estimate the potential impact that the work-from-home trend will have on the short- and long-term demand for office space in our markets.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements follow the same policies and procedures as outlined in the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

Results of Operations

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Rental and Other Revenues. Rental and other revenues include net rental income, including parking, signage and other income, as well as the recovery of operating costs and property taxes from tenants. Rental and other revenues decreased $2.2 million, or 5%, to $42.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $44.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Revenue decreased year over year due to the dispositions and tenant departures at Superior Pointe in January 2025 and Cascade Station in June 2024 which reduced revenue by $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively. Revenue also decreased at 2525 McKinnon and Intellicenter by $0.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, due to lower occupancy at the properties compared to the prior year. Revenue also decreased at Block 23 and The Terraces by $1.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, largely due to the downsize of WeWork resulting in a termination fee received in the prior period and lower income in the current period at those properties. Offsetting these decreases, revenue increased year over year at Bloc 83 and Mission City by $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively, due to higher occupancy. The remaining properties’ rental and other revenues were marginally higher in comparison to the prior year period.

Operating Expenses

Property Operating Expenses. Property operating expenses are comprised mainly of building common area and maintenance expenses, insurance, property taxes, property management fees, as well as certain expenses that are not recoverable from tenants, the majority of which are related to costs necessary to maintain the appearance and marketability of vacant space. In the normal course of business, property expenses fluctuate and are impacted by various factors including, but not limited to, occupancy levels, weather, utility costs, repairs, maintenance and re-leasing costs. Property operating expenses decreased $1.4 million, or 8%, to $16.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $17.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The disposition of Superior Pointe in January 2025 and Cascade Station in June 2024 decreased property operating expenses by $0.5 million and $0.3 million, respectively. Property taxes decreased across the portfolio by $0.7 million, excluding the dispositions noted above, in comparison to the prior year as property tax accruals were lower in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the first quarter of 2024. In 2024, the final property tax assessments received at year end were lower than accrued in the first quarter of 2024. The remaining property operating expenses were relatively unchanged in comparison to the prior period.

Table of Contents

General and Administrative. General and administrative expenses are comprised of public company reporting costs and the compensation of our employees and Board of Directors, as well as non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. General and administrative expenses remained relatively flat at $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the same as reported in the prior year.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization remained relatively flat at $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, the same as reported in the prior year. The dispositions of Superior Pointe in January 2025 and Cascade Station in June 2024 decreased depreciation and amortization expense by $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. The remaining properties’ depreciation expenses were $0.6 million higher in comparison to the prior year period.

Other Expense (Income)

Interest Expense. Interest expense increased $0.2 million, or 3%, to $8.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $8.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The disposition of Cascade Station in June 2024 decreased interest expense by $0.2 million. The remaining properties’ interest expenses were $0.4 million higher in comparison to the prior year period.

Cash Flows

Comparison of Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 to Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $36.6 million and $43.4 million as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

Cash flow from operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $4.3 million to $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $16.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to changes in working capital.

Cash flow to investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $6.2 million to $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $7.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to the sale of Superior Pointe in the current year for proceeds of $11.6 million. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in additions to real estate properties for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Cash flow to financing activities. Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $0.7 million to $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease in cash used in financing activities was primarily attributable to lower net proceeds from borrowings and lower withholding taxes on restricted stock units vesting for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measures: NOI

NOI is a non-GAAP measure which includes the revenue and expense directly attributable to our office properties. NOI is calculated as rental and other revenues less property operating expenses.

We use NOI as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, gains (or losses) on sale of real estate and other non-operating items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that NOI will be useful to investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because NOI excludes depreciation and amortization expense and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties (all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations), the utility of NOI as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate NOI in a similar manner and, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to such other REITs’ NOI. Accordingly, NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.

Refer to Note 11 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the revenue and expense items comprising NOI and a reconciliation of NOI to consolidated net income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources

We had approximately $22.0 million of cash and cash equivalents and $14.6 million of restricted cash as of March 31, 2025.

On March 15, 2018, the Company entered into a credit agreement for the Unsecured Credit Facility that provided for commitments of up to $250 million. On September 27, 2019, the Company entered into a five-year $50 million term loan, increasing its authorized borrowings under the Company’s Unsecured Credit Facility from $250 million to $300 million. On November 16, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement that increased the total authorized borrowings from $300 million to $350 million. On January 5, 2023, the Company entered into a second amendment to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement for the Unsecured Credit Facility and entered into a three-year $25 million term loan, increasing its total authorized borrowings from $350 million to $375 million. The Unsecured Credit Facility matures in November 2025 and may be extended by 12 months beginning in August 2025, at the Company’s option upon meeting certain conditions. The Company expects to pursue such an extension. On September 27, 2024, the $50 million term loan matured and was repaid with proceeds from the Unsecured Credit Facility, reducing total authorized borrowings from $375 million to $325 million. As of March 31, 2025, of the $325 million total authorized borrowings, we had approximately $255.0 million outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Facility, $25.0 million outstanding under a term loan and a $2.5 million letter of credit to satisfy escrow requirements for a mortgage lender.

On February 26, 2020, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into equity distribution agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) with certain investment banks acting as sales agents (the “Sales Agents”), pursuant to which the Company may issue and sell from time to time up to 15,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 1,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock through the Sales Agents, acting as agents or principals (the “ATM Program”). In the event that the Company elects to make sales under the ATM Program, the Company will file a prospectus supplement to the prospectus included in the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3. The Company did not issue any shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Following changes in property-level occupancy rates, it is possible that we could fail certain financial covenants within certain property-level mortgage borrowings. For mortgages with financial covenants, the lenders’ remedy of a covenant failure would be a requirement to escrow funds for the purpose of meeting our future debt payment obligations. As of March 31, 2025, the lender for our mortgage borrowings at the SanTan property has elected their right to direct property cash flows into lender-controlled restricted cash accounts to fund property operations until certain thresholds are met. Further, under the terms of the loan modification and extension agreement at the FRP Ingenuity Drive property, signed in the second quarter of 2024, property cash flows from this property will be directed into lender-controlled restricted cash accounts through the maturity of the loan. For these two properties, the total restricted cash as of March 31, 2025 was $4.6 million.

Our short-term liquidity requirements primarily consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, distributions to our limited partners and distributions to our stockholders required to qualify for REIT status, capital expenditures and, potentially, acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations and reserves established from existing cash. We have further sources such as proceeds from our public offerings, including under our ATM Program, and borrowings under our mortgage loans and our Unsecured Credit Facility.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at maturity, property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements using our Unsecured Credit Facility pending longer term financing.

We believe we have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of additional equity securities. However, we cannot assure you that this is or will continue to be the case. Our ability to incur additional debt is dependent on a number of factors, including our degree of leverage, interest rates, the value of our unencumbered assets and borrowing restrictions that may be imposed by lenders. Our ability to access the equity capital markets is dependent on a number of factors as well, including general market conditions for REITs and market perceptions about us.

In addition to the incurrence of debt and the offering of equity securities, dispositions of properties may serve as additional capital resources and sources of liquidity. We may recycle capital from stabilized assets or from sales of properties. Capital from these types of transactions is intended to be redeployed into property acquisitions, capital improvements, or to pay down existing debt.

Contracted interest on the floating rate borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility was calculated based on the balance and interest rate at March 31, 2025. Contracted interest on our loans which we have applied interest rate swaps was calculated based on the swap fixing the SOFR component of the borrowing rates.

Inflation

Substantially all of our office leases include expense reimbursement provisions that provide for property operating expense escalations. In addition, most of the leases provide for fixed rent increases. We believe that expense increases due to inflation may be at least partially offset by these contractual rent increases and expense escalations. However, a longer period of inflation could affect our cash flows or earnings, or impact our borrowings, as discussed elsewhere in this Report.

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We use derivative financial instruments to manage or hedge interest rate risks related to borrowings. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. We have entered, and we will only enter into, contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Report for more information regarding our derivatives.

We currently consider our interest rate exposure to be moderate because as of March 31, 2025, approximately $533.1 million, or 82.3%, of our debt had fixed interest rates, or effectively fixed rates when factoring in interest rate swaps, and $115.0 million, or 17.7%, had variable interest rates. The interest rate swaps effectively fix the SOFR component of the borrowing rates until maturity of the debt. A 1% increase in SOFR would result in a $1.2 million increase to our annual interest costs on debt outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and would decrease the fair value of our outstanding debt, as well as increase interest costs associated with future debt issuances or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. A 1% decrease in SOFR would result in a $1.2 million decrease to our annual interest costs on debt outstanding as of March 31, 2025 and would increase the fair value of our outstanding debt, as well as decrease interest costs associated with future debt issuances or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.

Interest rate risk amounts are our management’s estimates based on our Company’s capital structure and were determined by considering the effect of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. We may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to changes in interest rates. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our Company’s financial structure.

Item 4. Controls an d Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on the most recent evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer determined that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective as of March 31, 2025.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes to our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTH ER INFORMATION

Item 1. L egal Proceedings

We and our subsidiaries are, from time to time, parties to litigation arising from the ordinary course of business. As of March 31, 2025, management does not believe that any such litigation will have a material adverse effect, individually or in the aggregate, on our financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A. R isk Factors

As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, except for the one below. Any of those risk factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. We may disclose changes to such factors or disclose additional factors from time to time in our future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

We may engage in development or expansion projects or invest in new asset classes, which would subject us to additional risks that could negatively impact our operations.

We may engage in development or other expansion projects, which could subject us to additional or unforeseen costs and capital requirements or require us to obtain additional state and local permits. A decision by any governmental agency not to issue a required permit or substantial delays in the permitting process could cause us to incur penalties, delay us from receiving rental payments or result in us receiving reduced rental payments, or prevent us from pursuing the development or expansion project altogether. Additionally, any such new development or expansion project may not operate at designed capacity or may cost more to operate than we expect. The inability to successfully complete development expansion or other value-added projects or to complete them on a timely basis could adversely affect our business and results of operations.

We have and may continue to make investments and utilize transaction structures that are outside of our traditional business, including entering into new asset classes, such as our previously-announced plan to develop a condominium and mixed use tower in St. Petersburg, Florida, and entering into (or expanding our use of) new transaction structures, such as strategic co-investment ventures or joint ventures. We plan to invest and may continue to invest in new or different assets or enter into new transaction structures that may or may not be closely related to our current business and which could require new or additional processes, controls, systems and personnel. These new assets and transaction structures may have new, different or increased risks than what we are currently exposed to in our business and we may not be able to manage these risks successfully. Such risks include:

•

When investing in new assets or transaction structures, we will be exposed to the risk that those assets or structures, or the income generated thereby, will affect our ability to meet the requirements to maintain our REIT status, or will subject us to additional regulatory requirements or limitations;

•

Our partners or investors may share certain approval rights over major decisions or have the ability to appoint persons to governing bodies;

•

Our partners or investors may seek to exit or redeem their investment, and may do so simultaneously, causing the venture to seek capital to satisfy these requests on less than optimal terms;

•

If our partners or investors fail to fund their share of any required capital contributions, then we may choose to contribute such capital or the venture may have to raise additional capital or incur indebtedness on less than optimal terms;

•

Our partners or investors may have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals that would affect our ability to operate the venture and adversely impact our consolidated financial position or results of operations;

•

The governing agreements may restrict the transfer of an interest in the co-investment venture or may otherwise restrict our ability to sell the interest when we desire or on advantageous terms;

•

Our relationships with our partners or investors are likely to be contractual in nature and may be terminated or dissolved under the terms of the agreements, and in such event, the venture may terminate or we may not continue to invest in or manage the assets underlying such relationships resulting in a decrease in our assets under management and a reduction in fee revenues; and

•

Disputes between us and our partners or investors may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business and result in subjecting the properties owned by the applicable co-investment venture to additional risk.
