Piedmont Realty Trust Earnings Call Transcripts
Fiscal Year 2026
-
Q2 2026 saw strong operational and financial performance, with record leasing activity, rising rents, and improved occupancy. Guidance for 2026 was raised, debt was refinanced, and capital allocation remains focused on deleveraging and Sun Belt acquisitions.
-
Leasing momentum and portfolio quality drove strong Q1 2026 results, with Core FFO per share flat year-over-year and Same-Store NOI up 11%. Guidance for 2026 was raised, and the portfolio is nearly 90% leased, supported by robust demand and limited new supply.
Fiscal Year 2025
-
Record leasing in 2025 drove occupancy to 89.6% and set up strong Same Store NOI growth for 2026. Core FFO guidance for 2026 is up, with robust leasing momentum and rental rate increases, especially in Sunbelt markets.
-
Record leasing activity and strong rental rate growth drove Q3 results, with over 724,000 square feet leased and FFO per share of $0.35. Guidance for 2025 core FFO was narrowed, and future earnings growth is expected as $75 million in new leases commence.
-
Record leasing activity and strong demand for high-quality office assets drove a rise in occupancy and rental rates, with robust pipelines and portfolio repositioning toward the Sunbelt. Most new leasing will benefit earnings in 2026 and beyond, with FFO guidance affirmed.
-
Leasing momentum remains strong with 363,000 sq ft signed in Q1 and a robust pipeline, but macro uncertainty led to a dividend suspension to fund growth and preserve liquidity. Core FFO guidance is affirmed, with major lease commencements expected to boost earnings in late 2025 and 2026.
Fiscal Year 2024

Leasing and rental rate growth exceeded expectations in 2024, with 2.4 million sq ft leased and strong performance in key markets. 2025 guidance anticipates stable occupancy, continued NOI growth, and no major debt maturities until 2028.
-
Record leasing activity and a robust pipeline drove occupancy to 88.8%, with strong Sunbelt and core market performance. Financials reflect higher interest expense and property sales, but guidance remains steady and 2025 is expected to see growth as new leases commence.
-
Record leasing activity and strong operational results drove occupancy gains and future rent backlog, while a $400 million bond issuance improved liquidity and addressed debt maturities. 2024 guidance was narrowed, with FFO expected to trough in Q3 before improving as new leases commence.
