FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain matters contained in this report are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws and are subject to uncertainties and risks, as itemized in Item 1A included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of the business and our financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans, and objectives. They also include, among other things, statements regarding subjects that are forward-looking by their nature, such as the following: guidance and underlying assumptions; business and financial strategy; future debt financings; future acquisitions and dispositions of operating assets or joint venture interests; future acquisitions and dispositions of land, including ground leases; future development and redevelopment opportunities, including fee development opportunities; future issuances and repurchases of common stock; future distributions; projected capital expenditures; market and industry trends; entry into new markets; future changes in interest rates; and all statements that address operating performance, events, or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to creating value for stockholders.

Any forward-looking statements are based upon management's beliefs, assumptions, and expectations of our future performance, taking into account information that is currently available. These beliefs, assumptions, and expectations may change as a result of possible events or factors, not all of which are known. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity, and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements. Actual results may vary from forward-looking statements due to, but not limited to, the following: the availability and terms of capital; the ability to refinance or repay indebtedness as it matures; the failure of purchase, sale, or other contracts to ultimately close; the failure to achieve anticipated benefits from acquisitions, investments, or dispositions; the potential dilutive effect of common stock or operating partnership unit issuances; the availability of buyers and pricing with respect to the disposition of assets; changes in national and local economic conditions, the real estate industry, and the commercial real estate markets in which we operate, particularly in Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Phoenix, Tampa, and Dallas where we have high concentrations of our lease revenues, including the impact of high unemployment, volatility in the public equity and debt markets, and international economic and other conditions; the impact of a public health crisis, including the COVID-19 pandemic, and the governmental and third-party response to such a crisis, which may affect our key personnel, our tenants, and the costs of operating our assets; the impact of social distancing, shelter-in-place, border closings, travel restrictions, remote work requirements, and similar governmental and private measures taken to combat the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic on our operations and our tenants; changes to our strategy with regard to land and other non-core holdings that may require impairment losses to be recognized; leasing risks, including the ability to obtain new tenants or renew expiring tenants, the ability to lease newly developed and/or recently acquired space, the failure of a tenant to commence or complete tenant improvements on schedule or to occupy leased space, and the risk of declining leasing rates; changes in the needs of our tenants brought about by the desire for co-working arrangements, trends toward utilizing less office space per employee, and the effect of telecommuting; any adverse change in the financial condition of one or more of our tenants; volatility in interest rates and insurance rates; competition from other developers or investors; the risks associated with real estate developments (such as zoning approval, receipt of required permits, construction delays, cost overruns, and leasing risk); cyber security breaches; changes in senior management, changes in the Board of Directors, and the loss of key personnel; the potential liability for uninsured losses, condemnation, or environmental issues; the potential liability for a failure to meet regulatory requirements; the financial condition and liquidity of, or disputes with, joint venture partners; any failure to comply with debt covenants under credit agreements; any failure to continue to qualify for taxation as a real estate investment trust and meet regulatory requirements; potential changes to state, local, or federal regulations applicable to our business; material changes in the rates, or the ability to pay, dividends on common shares or other securities; potential changes to the tax laws impacting REITs and real estate in general; potential changes to the tax laws impacting REITs and real estate in general; and those additional risks and factors discussed in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") by the Company.

The words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may,” “intend,” “will,” or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, and expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such plans, intentions, or expectations will be achieved. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of future events, new information, or otherwise, except as required under U.S. federal securities laws.

ATLANTA (October 28, 2020) - Cousins Properties (NYSE:CUZ) today reported its results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

“Despite a challenging operating environment, our financial results are holding up well and we are beginning to see encouraging signs in our leasing activity.” said Colin Connolly, president and chief executive officer of Cousins Properties. “In the short term, health and safety understandably remain top of mind for our customers. However, over a longer horizon we remain convinced that new and highly-amenitized office properties in the Sun Belt will recover first and perform best as companies look toward the future of attractive work environments.”

Financial Results

Net income available to common stockholders was $28.1 million, or $0.19 per share, for the third quarter of 2020, compared with net income available to common stockholders of $20.4 million, or $0.14 per share ($0.15 per share, excluding transaction costs), for the third quarter of 2019. Net income available to common stockholders was $226.2 million, or $1.52 per share diluted, for the nine months ended September 30, 2020, compared with $33.3 million, or $0.27 per share ($0.69 per share, excluding transaction costs), for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase in net income available to common stockholders between the nine month periods is primarily due to the sales of Hearst Tower and of the company's investment in the Gateway Village joint venture in the first quarter of 2020 and due to the acquisition costs related to the TIER merger in the second quarter of 2019.

2020 Guidance

Due to uncertainty driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company withdrew its earnings guidance in April 2020. However, the Company has continued to provide certain financial information to assist investors as they assess the Company’s outlook for the balance of 2020. Based on actual results to date as well as the Company’s current outlook, all prior assumptions – including assumptions concerning speculative leasing, rent deferrals and parking income – remain within the previously provided ranges, with one exception. General and administrative expenses are anticipated to decline by an additional $1.5 million on top of the $6 million decline announced over the previous two quarters. The Company now anticipates full year general and administrative expenses of $25.5 million to $27.5 million, net of capitalized salaries, down 22% from its original range.

SAME PROPERTY PERFORMANCE (1)

(1)	Same Properties include those office properties that were fully operational and owned by the Company for the entirety of the comparable reporting periods. See Portfolio Statistics beginning on page 15 for footnotes indicating which properties are not included in Same Property. See Non-GAAP Financial Measures - Calculations and Reconciliations beginning on page 32.
(2)	Rental Property Revenues and Expenses include results for the Company and its share of unconsolidated joint ventures and exclude termination fee income. Net operating income for unconsolidated joint ventures is calculated as rental property revenues less termination fee income and rental property expenses at the joint ventures multiplied by the Company's ownership interest. The Company does not control the operations of the unconsolidated joint ventures, but believes that including these amounts with consolidated net operating income is meaningful to investors and analysts.
(3)	Cash-Basis Rental Property Revenues include that of the Company and its share of unconsolidated joint ventures. It represents Rental Property Revenues, excluding termination fee income, straight-line rents, amortization of lease inducements, and amortization of acquired above and below market rents.
(4)	Cash-Basis Rental Property Operating Expenses include that of the Company and its share of unconsolidated joint ventures. It represents Rental Property Operating Expenses, excluding straight-line ground rent expense and amortization of above and below market ground rent expense.
(5)	As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has entered into lease amendments with certain tenants to provide payment deferrals without lease extensions. Management believes that Cash-Basis Same Property Net Operating Income Adjusted for Payment Deferrals (net of any repayments made) provides analysts and investors with useful information related to the Company's core operations before the impact of certain lease amendments with tenants who have experienced disruptions in their business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and allows for comparability of the results of its operations with other real estate companies.
(6)	Cash-Basis Same Property Net Operating Income Adjusted for Payment Deferrals and Parking represents Cash-Basis Net Operating Income Adjusted for Payment Deferrals before parking net operating income and is intended to provide analysts and investors with useful information related to the Company's core operations before the impact of significant changes in physical occupancy at the Company's properties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is materially impacting parking net operating income.

TENANT INDUSTRY DIVERSIFICATION

Note: Management uses SIC codes when available, along with judgment, to determine tenant industry classification.

(1) Annualized Rent represents the annualized rent including tenant's share of estimated operating expenses, if applicable, paid by the tenant as of the date of this report. If the tenant is in a free rent period as of the date of this report, Annualized Rent represents the annualized contractual rent the tenant will pay in the first month it is required to pay full rent.

(2) Several of our Energy & Utilities tenants have entered into subleases with unaffiliated parties for large portions of their space or have executed amendments to surrender portions of their currently leased space. In the event of lease terminations, generally such subleases would become direct leases with the Company, although the lease term and rent due under such subleases may differ from the primary lease. After considering the industry classification of these subleases and considering contractual space surrender obligations, the portion of our rent from Energy & Utilities tenants is reduced to 3.7%. Note that the industry percentages in the chart above have not been adjusted to reflect the various industry sectors of such subtenants, with the exception of Energy & Utilities.

(1) Includes Company share of unconsolidated joint ventures. These amounts are derived from the amounts in the categories indicated that are recorded at the joint venture multiplied by the Company's ownership interest. The Company does not control the operations of the unconsolidated joint ventures, but believes that including these amounts in the categories indicated is meaningful to investors and analysts.
(2) In 2018, transaction costs related primarily to the transactions with Parkway Properties, Inc. In 2019 and 2020, transaction costs relate primarily to the merger with TIER REIT, Inc.
(3) Annualized equals quarter amount annualized. Given the timing of the closing of the transactions with TIER, the actual calculation of this ratio was unusually high for the second quarter of 2019 and decreased once a full quarter of TIER operations was included in EBITDAre. Second quarter EBITADAre, annualized for the calculation, included 17 days of Legacy TIER operations while the total impact of the TIER transactions was included in net debt as of June 30, 2019.
(4) Quarter amount represents quarter annualized; year-to-date represents year-to-date actual annualized.
Note: Amounts may differ slightly from other schedules contained herein due to rounding.

The tables above show Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and the related reconciliation to Net Income Available to Common Stockholders for Cousins Properties Incorporated and Subsidiaries. The Company calculated FFO in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' ("NAREIT") definition, which is net income (loss) available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP")), excluding extraordinary items, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and gains or losses from sales of depreciable property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, impairment losses on depreciable investment property and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis.

FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental measure of an equity REIT’s operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from GAAP net income. Management believes that the use of FFO, combined with the required primary GAAP presentations, has been fundamentally beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Company management evaluates operating performance in part based on FFO. Additionally, the Company uses FFO and FFO per share, along with other measures, as a performance measure for incentive compensation to its officers and other key employees.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES - DISCUSSION

The Company uses non-GAAP financial measures in its filings and other public disclosures. The following is a list of non-GAAP financial measures that the Company commonly uses and a description for each measure of (1) the reasons that management believes the measure is useful to investors and (2) if material, any additional uses of the measure by management of the Company.

“Cash-Basis Net Operating Income” represents Net Operating Income excluding straight-line rents, amortization of lease inducements, amortization of acquired above and below market rents, and non-cash ground lease expense.

“EBITDAre” is a supplemental operating performance measure used in the real estate industry. The Company calculates EBITDAre in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts' (“NAREIT”) definition, which is net income (loss) available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”)) plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, losses (gains) on the disposition of depreciated property, and impairment losses. All additions include the Company's share of unconsolidated joint ventures. Management believes that EBITDAre provides analysts and investors with uniform and appropriate information to use in various ratios that evaluate the Company's level of debt.

“Adjusted EBITDAre” represents EBITDAre plus loss on debt extinguishment and transaction costs. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDAre provides analysts and investors with appropriate information to use in various ratios that evaluate the Company's level of debt.

"Funds Available for Distribution” (“FAD”) represents FFO adjusted to exclude the effect of non-cash items, gains (losses) on undepreciated real estate sales, and transaction costs. Management believes that FAD provides analysts and investors with information that assists in the comparability of the Company's dividend policy with other real estate companies.

“Funds From Operations” (“FFO”) is a supplemental operating performance measure used in the real estate industry. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, which is net income (loss) available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding extraordinary items, cumulative effect of change in accounting principle and gains or losses from sales of depreciable real property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, impairment losses on depreciable investment property and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental measure of an equity REIT's operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Thus, NAREIT created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from GAAP net income. Management believes that the use of FFO, combined with the required primary GAAP presentations, has been fundamentally beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Company management evaluates operating performance in part based on FFO. Additionally,

the Company uses FFO and FFO per share, along with other measures, as a performance measure for incentive compensation to its officers and other key employees.

“Net Debt” represents the Company's consolidated debt plus the Company's share of unconsolidated debt less cash and cash equivalents. The Company believes excluding cash and cash equivalents from total debt, provides an estimate of the net contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid, which it believes is a beneficial disclosure to investors and analysts.

“Net Operating Income” ("NOI") is used by industry analysts, investors and Company management to measure operating performance of the Company's properties. Net Operating Income, which is rental property revenues less termination fees and rental property operating expenses, excludes certain components from net income in order to provide results that are more closely related to a property's results of operations. Certain items, such as interest expense, while included in FFO and net income, do not affect the operating performance of a real estate asset and are often incurred at the corporate level as opposed to the property level. As a result, management uses only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level to evaluate a property's performance. Depreciation and amortization are also excluded from Net Operating Income for the reasons described under FFO above.

“Same Property Net Operating Income” represents Net Operating Income or Cash-Basis Net Operating Income for those office properties that have been fully operational in each of the comparable reporting periods. A fully operational property is one that achieved 90% economic occupancy or has been substantially complete and owned by the Company for each of the two periods presented. Same Property Net Operating Income or Cash-Basis Same Property Net Operating Income allows analysts, investors and management to analyze continuing operations and evaluate the growth trend of the Company's portfolio.

“Second Generation Tenant Improvements and Leasing Costs and Building Capital Expenditures” is used in the valuation and analysis of real estate. Because the Company develops and acquires properties, in addition to operating existing properties, its property acquisition and development expenditures included in the Statements of Cash Flows includes both initial costs associated with developing and acquiring investment assets and those expenditures necessary for operating and maintaining existing properties at historic performance levels. The latter costs are referred to as second generation costs and are useful in evaluating the economic performance of the asset and in valuing the asset. Accordingly, the Company discloses the portion of its property acquisition and development expenditures that pertain to second generation space in its operating properties. The Company excludes from second generation costs amounts incurred to lease vacant space in newly acquired buildings as well as building improvements on newly acquired buildings that management identifies as necessary to bring the building to the Company's operational standards. In addition, the Company excludes leasing costs and building improvements associated with properties identified as under redevelopment or repositioning.

“Net Income and FFO Before Transaction Costs” represents net income and FFO before costs associated with the mergers with Parkway Properties and TIER.  Management believes that Net Income and FFO Before Transaction Costs provides analysts and investors with user information related to the Company’s core operations and for comparability of the results of its operations with other real estate companies.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES - DISCUSSION

“Cash-Basis Same Property NOI Adjusted for Payment Deferrals" represents Cash-Basis Same Property after excluding the impact of payment deferrals without extensions. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company has entered into lease amendments with certain tenants to provide payment deferrals without lease extensions. Management believes that Cash-Basis Same Property Net Operating Income Adjusted for Payment Deferrals provides analysts and investors with useful information related to the Company's core operations before the impact of certain lease amendments with tenants who have experienced disruptions in their business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and allows for comparability of the results of its operations with other real estate companies.

“Cash-Basis Same Property NOI Adjusted for Payment Deferrals and Parking" represents Cash-Basis Same Property NOI Adjusted for Payment Deferrals before parking net operating income and is intended to provide analysts and investors with useful information related to the Company's core operations before the impact of significant changes in physical occupancy at the Company's properties as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is materially impacting parking net operating income, and allows for comparability of the results of its operations with other real estate companies.
