Highwoods Properties Reports First Quarter 2005 Financial Results

Full-Year and Quarterly 2004 and 2003 Restated Financial Results

Also Reported

Raleigh, NC – July 6, 2005 – Highwoods Properties, Inc. (NYSE: HIW), the largest owner and operator of suburban office properties in the Southeast, today reported financial results for the first quarter of 2005, the fourth quarter of 2004 and the full year of 2004. The Company also reported restated financial results for 2003 and the first, second and third quarters of 2004. All financial information presented in this news release is on a restated and consistent basis for all periods.

The Company will file its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 and its Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 as soon as possible. This Form 10-K will include restated financial results for fiscal years 2002 and 2003 and restated quarterly results for 2003 and 2004. The Company expects that Ernst & Young LLP, its independent auditor, will issue an unqualified opinion on the Company’s 2004 and restated 2003 and 2002 consolidated financial statements that will be included in the 2004 Form 10-K.

Ed Fritsch, President and Chief Executive Officer of Highwoods Properties, stated, “We are pleased to have completed our 2004 year-end and first quarter 2005 financial results. It was a detailed and lengthy process but an important one and we remain committed to excellence and reliability in our financial reporting. In line with our previously disclosed expectations, the cumulative impact of the restatement on historical net income and Funds from Operations for this three-year period was $0.06 and $0.08 per diluted share, respectively. These restatement adjustments did not impact cash and relate to transactions or practices that go back a number of years. Going forward, the impact of these non-cash accounting adjustments is expected to reduce annual FFO by $0.02 to $0.03 per share, again in line with our previously disclosed expectations.”

First Quarter 2005 Financial Results

For the three months ended March 31, 2005, the Company reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $12.6 million, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $2.8 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, for the same quarter last year. Net income in the first quarter of 2005 was impacted by $16.0 million of gains on sales of properties, which included $5.4 million recorded in discontinued operations, offset by $2.6 million of impairment charges on land.

Funds from operations (“FFO”) was $36.2 million, or $0.60 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2005 compared with first quarter 2004 FFO of $30.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share. First quarter 2005 net income and FFO benefited from $2.6 million, or $0.04 per share, in lease termination fee income; this was offset by an impairment charge related to land totaling $2.6 million, or $0.04 per share. Financial results for the first quarter 2005 also include revenue from U.S. Airways for the entire three month period, which contributed $0.01 per diluted share to FFO.

2004 Financial Results

For the full year ended December 31, 2004, the Company reported net income attributable to common stockholders of $9.1 million, or $0.17 per diluted share. This compares to net income of $15.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2003. FFO was $126.8 million, or $2.11 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2004, compared with $147.1 million, or $2.46 per diluted share, for 2003. FFO was impacted by a number of charges and credits in 2003 and 2004, as noted in the financial tables that follow.

Restatement Results

As previously disclosed by the Company on May 26, 2005, as a result of the preparation of its 2004 financial statements, the related audit by its independent auditors and the previously disclosed review of its lease accounting practices, the Company identified several adjustments impacting 2004 and prior periods that needed to be recorded by restating prior period results. The restatement adjustments related primarily to 1) lease incentives, 2) depreciation and amortization, 3) straight-line rent expense on a ground lease and 4) capitalization of internal costs.

The effects of these adjustments on previously reported periods are shown in the attached financial tables. The cumulative impact of these adjustments for 2002, 2003 and 2004 reduced aggregate net income by $3.1 million, or $0.06 per diluted share. This represented approximately 1.9% of total net income during this three-year period. The total effect on net income for periods prior to 2002 was approximately $4.9 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.

The cumulative impact of these adjustments for 2002, 2003 and 2004 reduced aggregate FFO by $4.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. This represented approximately 1.1% of total FFO during this three-year period. The total effect on FFO for periods prior to 2002 was approximately $3.7 million, or $0.06 per diluted share.

These accounting adjustments on a net basis are not expected to have any material continuing effects on net income in future periods. FFO in future periods is expected to be reduced by approximately $0.02 to $0.03 per diluted share per year, primarily from the reclassification of lease incentive amortization.

Strategic Management Plan Update

Mr. Fritsch stated, “We continue to make strong progress towards achieving the goals outlined in our Strategic Management Plan. A key focus this year was the disposition of $100 million to $300 million of non-core assets. As of today, the Company has sold or contracted to sell approximately $329.1 million of assets, including all of our wholly-owned properties in Charlotte. We expect to close our division office in Charlotte after the sale is closed, which should save approximately $500,000 annually in net general and administrative expenses. Occupancy will also be positively impacted by 160 basis points directly as a result of asset sales that recently closed and those expected to close later this year as well as new development that will be put into service by year end.”

“Our progress at Highwoods Preserve in Tampa, Florida has also been extremely gratifying. Over the past 12 months, we have leased or sold 700,000 square feet, or 89% of this campus. This includes our recently announced sale of Buildings II and IV to MetLife for $24.5 million which closed on June 30, 2005. Our initial investment in Highwoods Preserve was approximately $103.7 million and we estimate that, based on sales, current leases and anticipated lease transactions for the remaining 91,000 square feet in Building V, and including the $14.5 million settlement from WorldCom in 2004, the proceeds received plus the implied fair value of the remaining owned assets would approximate $106 million.”

“Strengthening our balance sheet is another key focus and, as disclosed on June 6, 2005, we anticipate using a substantial amount of the $255 million net sales proceeds from the sale of our Charlotte portfolio and Tampa Sabal Park assets to repurchase and/or redeem some of our outstanding high-coupon preferred stock. A portion of these sales proceeds will also be used to pay off a $26.2 million, 8.2% secured loan that is callable on August 15, 2005 and to pay down our revolving credit facility.”

“Our development pipeline is robust, with 721,000 square feet of wholly-owned properties that are 99% leased under construction and are expected to be delivered in late 2005. We anticipate undertaking $45 million to $50 million of additional new, multi-tenant office development in the second half of this year, as we move towards our long-term goal of $200 million to $300 million of new development starts by the end of 2007.”

“I am extremely pleased with our progress to date and applaud all of our employees for their hard work over the past six months. We remain focused and driven and I am confident we will meet or exceed the three-year goals established in our plan.”

Outlook

The Company also refined its guidance for 2005, which was originally published on January 5, 2005. At that time the Company announced that it expected FFO per share to be in the range of $2.25 to $2.35. Today, the Company believes FFO per share for 2005 will be in the range of $2.30 to $2.35. This estimate continues to reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels, operating expenses and asset dispositions and acquisitions and excludes any revenue from US Airways from August 2005 through the remainder of the year. This estimate also excludes any asset gains or impairments associated with actual or potential property dispositions, as well as any one-time, non-recurring charges or credits that may occur during the year.

Non-GAAP Information

We believe that FFO and FFO per share are beneficial to management and investors as important indicators of the performance of an equity REIT. FFO and FFO per share can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs because they exclude factors, such as depreciation, amortization and gains and losses from sales of real estate assets, which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates. FFO and FFO per share as disclosed by other REITs may not be comparable to our calculations of FFO and FFO per share. CAD is another useful financial performance measure of an equity REIT. CAD provides an additional basis to evaluate the ability of a REIT to incur and service debt, fund acquisitions and other capital expenditures and pay distributions. CAD does not measure whether cash flow is sufficient to fund all cash needs. FFO, FFO per share and CAD are non-GAAP financial measures and do not represent net income or cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as defined by GAAP. They should not be considered as alternatives to net income as indicators of our operating performance or to cash flows as measures of liquidity. Furthermore, FFO per share does not depict the amount that accrues directly to the stockholders’ benefit.

FFO is defined by NAREIT as net income or loss, excluding gains or losses from sales of depreciated property, plus operating property depreciation and amortization and adjustments for minority interest and unconsolidated companies on the same basis. As clarified by NAREIT in October 2003, impairment losses on depreciable real estate assets are included in FFO. Our calculation of actual FFO results is consistent with FFO as defined by NAREIT.

Certain matters discussed in this press release, such as the effect of tenant bankruptcies on our operations, anticipated continuing compliance with debt agreements, expected leasing and financing activities and financial and operating performance and the cost and timing of expected development projects and asset dispositions, are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements are distinguished by use of the words “will”, “expect”, “intends” and words of similar meaning. Although Highwoods believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved.

Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Highwoods’ current expectations include, among others, the following: the financial condition of our customers could deteriorate; unwaived defaults, if any, under our debt instruments could result in an acceleration of some of our outstanding debt; speculative development by others could result in excessive supply of office properties relative to customer demand; we may not be able to lease or re-lease space quickly or on as favorable terms as old leases; unexpected difficulties in obtaining additional capital to satisfy our future cash needs or unexpected increases in interest rates would increase our debt service costs; and others detailed in the Company’s amended 2003 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent SEC reports.
