NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
June 30, 2026
(Unaudited)
1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Description of Business: Cousins Properties Incorporated (“Cousins”), a Georgia corporation, is a fully integrated, self-administered, and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Cousins conducts substantially all of its business through Cousins Properties LP ("CPLP"). Cousins owns in excess of 99 % of CPLP and consolidates CPLP. CPLP wholly owns Cousins TRS Services LLC ("CTRS"), a taxable entity which owns and manages its own real estate portfolio and performs certain real estate-related services.
Cousins, CPLP, CTRS, and their subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) develop, acquire, lease, manage, and own primarily Class A office properties and opportunistic mixed-use developments in the Sun Belt markets of the United States with a focus on Austin, Atlanta, Charlotte, Tampa, Phoenix, Dallas, and Nashville. Cousins has elected to be taxed as a REIT and intends, among other things, to distribute at least 100 % of its net taxable income to stockholders, thereby eliminating any liability for federal income taxes under current law. Therefore, the results included herein do not include a federal income tax provision for Cousins. As of June 30, 2026, the Company's operating portfolio of real estate assets consisted of interests in 21.3 million square feet of office space and 974,000 square feet of other space.
Basis of Presentation: The condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and were prepared by the Company in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary (all of which are of a normal and recurring nature) for the fair presentation of the interim financial statements and accompanying notes. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of results expected for the full year. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. The accounting policies employed are substantially the same as those shown in note 2 of the notes to consolidated financial statements included therein.
The Company evaluates all partnerships, joint ventures, and other arrangements with variable interests to determine if the entity or arrangement qualifies as a variable interest entity ("VIE"), as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board's ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). If the entity or arrangement qualifies as a VIE and the Company is the primary beneficiary, the Company is required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the VIE. The Company had no investments or interests in any VIEs as of June 30, 2026 or December 31, 2025.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements: In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-03 "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses." The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company does not anticipate the guidance will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements or notes to our consolidated financial statements.

2. REAL ESTATE
Acquisitions
In February 2026, the Company acquired 300 South Tryon in Uptown Charlotte.

The following table summarizes the acquisition ($ in thousands):

Dispositions
On February 25, 2026, the Company sold Harborview Plaza in Tampa for a gross sales price of $39.5 million. The sale of the property did not result in a significant gain or loss. The Company recorded an impairment of $13.3 million on this property in 2025.
On June 26, 2026, the Company sold Research Park V in Austin for a gross sales price of $42.0 million resulting in a gain of $9.2 million.
Subsequent to quarter end, on July 29, 2026, the Company sold One Eleven Congress in Austin for a gross sales price of $208.0 million. The sale of the property did not result in a significant gain or loss. The Company recorded an impairment on this property of $36.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026 as discussed below.

Held for Sale
The major classes of assets and liabilities of properties held for sale as of June 30, 2026 (One Eleven Congress and 303 Tremont land parcel) and December 31, 2025 (Harborview Plaza and 303 Tremont land parcel) were as follows ($ in thousands):

Impairment
In accordance with the Company's policy on impairment described in Note 2 of the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company reviews its real estate assets on an asset group basis for impairment and records an impairment when circumstances indicate an asset group's carrying value may not be recoverable. This review includes the Company's operating properties, properties under development, and land holdings and considers whether each asset group is held for investment or held for sale.
In March 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to sell One Eleven Congress and determined that it was more likely than not that the expected hold period for the related asset group had significantly decreased. Because the carrying value of the asset group exceeded the undiscounted cash flows over the revised hold period, the property was written down to its estimated fair value, resulting in an impairment of $36.6 million recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2026. The estimated fair value was based on the third-party offer to purchase (a level 2 input under authoritative guidance for fair value measurements). As of June 30, 2026, the asset group is classified as held for sale on the Company's accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

3. INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE DEBT
The details of the real estate debt investments are as follows ($ in thousands):

| $ | $ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
(1) The first priority lender of the 110 East mortgage loan had a balance of $95.3 million as of December 31, 2025.
(2) Reflects a loan to the Company's equity partner in the Neuhoff joint venture and is secured by such partner's 50 % equity interest in the joint venture.
| Interest Income for the Three Months Ended June 30, | Interest Income for the Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In the second quarter of 2024, the Company acquired the Radius and 110 East mezzanine real estate loans for $27.2 million, which were subordinated to the first priority mortgage loans. These loans had a weighted average spread in excess of Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") of 8.68 %.
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company acquired one mortgage loan at par for $138.0 million. This mortgage was secured by Saint Ann Court, a 320,000 square foot office property in Dallas, had a maturity of December 7, 2024, and had a spread in excess of SOFR of 3.66 %, with an additional 5 % spread during any default period. One month after the loan went into default, on January 7, 2025, the Saint Ann borrower repaid the $138.0 million mortgage loan at par and paid the interest in full.
On January 10, 2025, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Mezzanine Loan Agreement on the Radius loan, which among other things, reduced the requirements for the borrower to qualify for an extension on the loan in exchange for a minimum payment of interest. On March 27, 2025, the Radius borrower repaid the $12.8 million mezzanine loan, and paid the interest in full, including a minimum interest guaranty of $858,000 .
In the third quarter of 2025, the Company loaned its joint venture partner $19.6 million, which the partner used to fund a contribution to the Neuhoff joint venture. The loan to the Company's partner is secured by such partner’s interest in the joint venture, bears interest at SOFR plus 6.25 %, and has an initial maturity of September 30, 2026, which may be extended to September 30, 2027 if the related joint venture construction loan is extended (see note 4).
In February 2026, at maturity, the borrower repaid the 110 East loan at par and paid the interest in full.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company believes the fair value of the investment in real estate debt approximates the invested carrying values and, therefore, did not record any unrealized gain or loss on this investment. The acquisition and origination of the Neuhoff partnership loan was a recently executed market transaction (Level 2) and market instruments for similar debt have not changed significantly since acquisition. In subsequent periods, the Company may adjust the carrying value of this loan investment if
11
required under GAAP fair value hierarchy. Interest income earned, including from any minimum interest guarantees, and any unrealized gain or loss associated with investments in real estate debt are recorded as a component of other revenue on the Company's consolidated statement of operations.
Subsequent to quarter end, on July 17, 2026, the Company acquired a preferred equity interest in a joint venture which owns 5th & Walsh, a 199,000 square foot office development in Austin. While the Company is committed to fund up to $31.5 million earning a 10 % annual preferred return, no funding has occurred through the date of this report. The mandatory redemption date of the preferred equity interest is July 17, 2030 with the option to extend the redemption date for up to 24 months subject to conditions. As this preferred equity interest has the characteristics of debt, the investment will be classified as an investment in real estate debt.

Credit Facility
On April 1, 2026, the Company entered into the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which recast its existing unsecured revolving line of credit (the "Credit Facility"), under which the Company may borrow up to $1.2 billion. This amendment and restatement of the Credit Facility extended the maturity date from April 30, 2027 to April 1, 2031, increased the borrowing capacity from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion, and reduced the applicable spread over SOFR. The Credit Facility contains financial covenants, generally unchanged by the April 1, 2026 amendment and restatement, that require, among other things, the maintenance of unencumbered interest coverage ratio of at least 1.75 x; a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.50 x; a secured leverage ratio of no more than 50 %; and overall and unsecured leverage ratios of no more than 60 %.
The interest rate applicable to the Credit Facility is based on Daily SOFR plus a spread of 0.675 % to 1.350 %, depending on the Company's leverage ratio and credit rating. During the first quarter of 2026, this spread was reduced by 15 basis points (including 10 basis points eliminated by an amendment, dated February 6, 2026, and five basis points eliminated by the recast). In addition to the interest rate, the Credit Facility is also subject to an annual facility fee of 0.125 % to 0.300 %, depending on the Company's credit rating and leverage ratio, on the entire $1.2 billion capacity.
15
As of June 30, 2026, the Credit Facility's interest rate spread over SOFR was 0.725 %, and the facility fee was 0.15 %. The amount that the Company may draw under the Credit Facility is a defined calculation based on the Company's unencumbered assets and other factors. The total available borrowing capacity under the Credit Facility was $1.0 billion at June 30, 2026. Any amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility may be accelerated upon the occurrence of any events of default.
Term Loans
On October 3, 2022, the Company entered into a Delayed Draw Term Loan Agreement ("the 2022 Term Loan") and borrowed the full $400 million available under the loan. The loan had an initial maturity of March 3, 2025, which has been extended to March 3, 2027, through the exercise of available extension options.
On June 28, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement ("the 2021 Term Loan"). Under the 2021 Term Loan, the Company borrowed $350 million with an initial maturity of August 30, 2024, which has been extended to February 12, 2027, through the exercise of available extension options. On August 16, 2024, the Company paid down $100 million of the $350 million outstanding and, on February 20, 2026, the Company repaid $150 million of the outstanding principal amount of the 2021 Term Loan.
On April 1, 2026, the Company amended each of the 2021 Term Loan and the 2022 Term Loan. Pursuant to both term loans, as amended, the Company pays interest on each term loan based on Term or Daily SOFR plus a spread of 0.750 % to 1.550 %, depending on our leverage ratio and credit rating. During the first quarter of 2026, this spread has been reduced by 15 basis points on the 2022 Term Loan (including 10 basis points eliminated by an amendment dated February 6, 2026, and five basis points eliminated by the amendment dated April 1, 2026) and by 30 basis points on the 2021 Term Loan (including 10 basis points eliminated by an amendment dated February 6, 2026, and 20 basis points eliminated by the amendment dated April 1, 2026). Interest rates in effect as of June 30, 2026, were 4.420 % for $100 million of the 2021 Term Loan (based on Daily SOFR); 4.420 % for $200 million of the 2022 Term Loan (based on Daily SOFR); and 4.418 % for $200 million of the 2022 Term Loan (based on six-month Term SOFR).
The Company has exercised the fourth of six six-month extension options on the 2022 Term Loan, which becomes effective September 3, 2026, extending the maturity date to March 3, 2027. The Company has also exercised the fifth of six six-month extension options on the 2021 Term Loan, which becomes effective August 19, 2026, extending the maturity date to February 12, 2027. The Company has two remaining six-month extension options under the 2022 Term Loan (each of which were added as part of the April 1, 2026, amendment) which has a final extended maturity date of March 3, 2028. The Company has one remaining 180-day extension option under the 2021 Term Loan (added as part of in the April 1, 2026 amendment) which has a final extended maturity date of August 11, 2027.
Both term loans have debt covenants consistent with the Credit Facility.
Unsecured Senior Notes
At June 30, 2026, the Company had $2.7 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes outstanding, $1.9 billion through public offerings and $750.0 million through privately placed senior notes.
Public Senior Unsecured Notes
In February 2026, CPLP issued $500 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.875 % public senior notes. Upon issuance of these notes, CPLP received proceeds of $496.3 million, net of the original issue discount of $3.7 million, resulting in an effective interest rate of 5.001 %. These public senior notes had issuance costs of $4.2 million and mature on March 1, 2033.
In June 2025, CPLP issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25 % public senior notes. Upon issuance of these notes, CPLP received proceeds of $499.9 million dollars, net of the original issue discount of $65,000 , resulting in an effective interest rate of 5.251 %. These public senior notes had issuance costs of $4.2 million and mature on July 15, 2030.
In December 2024, CPLP issued $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.375 % public senior notes. Upon issuance of these notes, CPLP received proceeds of $397.9 million dollars, net of the original issue discount of $2.1 million, resulting in an effective interest rate of 5.464 %. These public senior notes had issuance costs of $3.6 million and mature on February 15, 2032.
In August 2024, CPLP issued $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.875 % public senior notes. Upon issuance of these notes, CPLP received proceeds of $498.5 million dollars, net of the original issue discount of $1.5 million, resulting in an effective interest rate of 5.912 %. These public senior notes had issuance costs of $5.3 million and mature on October 1, 2034.
The Company's public senior notes are each fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and subject to certain customary covenants that, subject to certain exceptions, include (a) a limitation on the ability of the Company and CPLP to, among other things, incur additional secured and unsecured indebtedness; (b) a limitation on the ability of the Company and CPLP to merge,
16
consolidate, sell, lease, or otherwise dispose of their properties and assets substantially as an entirety; and (c) a requirement that the Company maintain a pool of unencumbered assets. To avoid any such limitations, these covenants require, among other things, maintaining the following financial metrics as defined in the agreement: unencumbered debt ratio of at least 150 %; an EBITDA to debt service ratio of at least 1.50 x; a secured leverage ratio of no more than 40 %; and an overall leverage ratio of no more than 60 %.
Privately Placed Senior Unsecured Notes
The Company also has $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of privately placed unsecured senior notes outstanding. A privately placed senior unsecured note of $250 million with a fixed interest rate of 3.91 % was repaid at maturity on July 7, 2025.
The privately placed unsecured senior notes contain financial covenants that are consistent with those of our Credit Facility, with the exception of a secured leverage ratio of no more than 40 %. The senior notes also contain customary representations and warranties, both affirmative and negative covenants, and customary events of default.
Secured Mortgage Notes
As of June 30, 2026, the Company had $437.7 million outstanding on four non-recourse mortgage notes with a weighted average interest rate of 4.89 %. All interest rates on the secured mortgage notes are fixed. Assets with depreciated carrying values of $713.0 million were pledged as security on these mortgage notes payable. In addition, the Company provides a customary “non-recourse carve-out guaranty” on each non-recourse loan, along with a guarantee of certain re-leasing expenses for vacancy at 201 North Tryon.
Other Debt Information
The Company is in compliance with all of the covenants related to its unsecured and secured debt.
At June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of the Company’s notes payable was $3.8 billion and $3.4 billion, respectively, calculated by discounting the debt's remaining contractual cash flows at estimated current market rates at which similar loans could have been obtained at June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively. The estimate of the current market rates, which is the most significant input in the discounted cash flow calculation, is intended to replicate debt of similar maturity and loan-to-value relationship. These fair value calculations are considered to be Level 2 under the guidelines as set forth in ASC 820, as the Company utilizes market rates for similar type loans from third party brokers.

10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
As a lessor, the Company had $205.3 million in future obligations under leases to fund tenant improvements and other future construction obligations at June 30, 2026.
Litigation
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which are expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. The Company records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, the Company accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, the Company discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. The Company does not disclose information with respect to litigation where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be remote or where the estimated loss would not be material. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business, or financial condition of the Company.
11. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Share Repurchase Program
On February 17, 2026, the Board of Directors of the Company authorized the repurchase of up to $250 million of the Company's outstanding common shares under a share repurchase program. On April 28, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved an increase to the total amount authorized under the repurchase program to $500 million, of which $410 million remains available for repurchase as of June 30, 2026. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company repurchased 3.9 million shares under the repurchase program at an average price of $23.36 per share for a total of $90.0 million. These shares were removed from issued and outstanding but remain authorized. The Company made no further share repurchases in the three months ended June 30, 2026.
ATM Program
In 2021, the Company entered into an Equity Distribution Agreement ("EDA") with six financial institutions, known as an at-the-market stock offering program ("ATM Program"), under which the Company may offer and sell shares of its common stock from time to time in "at-the-market" offerings with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $500 million. In connection with the ATM Program, the Company may, at its discretion, enter into forward equity sale agreements. The use of a forward equity sale agreement ("Forward Sales") would allow the Company to lock in a share price on the sale of shares of its common stock at the time the agreement is executed but defer receiving the proceeds from the sale of shares until a later date, allowing the Company to better align funding with its capital needs. Sales of shares of the Company's stock, if any, through its banking relationships, are made in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company, but the Company has no obligation to sell any of the shares in the offering and may suspend sales in connection with the offering at any time. Sales of the Company's common stock under Forward Sales, if undertaken, meet the derivatives and hedging guidance scope exception as the contracts are related to the Company's own stock. In 2024, the Company filed a Form S-3 to renew the registration of its authorized shares. In conjunction with that Form S-3 filing, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to allow for the continued issuance of shares under this ATM Program.
18
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company did no 803,000 and 2.9 million shares under Forward Sales contracts at an average price of $30.47 and $30.44 per share, respectively. The Company did not sell any more shares under Forward Sales contracts during the remainder of 2025. These Forward Sales contracts had an initial maturity date of December 31, 2025, which was extended to December 31, 2026 by mutual agreement of each party. The future settlement proceeds, as of June 30, 2026, and December 31, 2025, were $88.5 million, net of $894,000 of commissions. Prior to the Forward Sales executed during the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company had settled 2.6 million shares under the ATM Program and generated cash proceeds of $101.4 million, net of $1.1 million of commissions, $1.7 million of dividends declared during the period the Forward Sales were outstanding, and $900,000 of other transaction related costs. Of the aggregate gross sales price of up to $500 million available to be sold under the EDA for the current ATM program, the Company had $305.6 million remaining as of June 30, 2026.
To the extent, prior to settlement, shares sold under Forward Sales were potentially dilutive during the period under the treasury stock method, the impact of such dilution is disclosed in the calculation included in note 14. The Company did not settle any shares under the ATM Program during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, or the year ended December 31, 2025.
Other Equity Transactions
On April 30, 2026, the Company purchased the 10 % non-controlling interest in one of its consolidated partnerships, which owns the 100 Mill office property, for $18.5 million. As a result of this transaction, $14.4 million non-controlling interest book value was removed from the Company's balance sheet, and $4.1 million was recorded as a reduction in additional paid-in-capital.
12. REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company categorizes its primary sources of revenue into revenue from contracts with customers and other revenue accounted for as leases under ASC 842 as follows:
•Rental property revenues consist of (1) contractual lease revenues recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms; (2) percentage rents recognized once a specified sales target is achieved; (3) parking revenue; (4) termination fees; and (5) the reimbursement of the tenants' share of real estate taxes, insurance, and other operating expenses. The Company's leases typically include renewal options and are classified and accounted for as operating leases. Rental property revenues are accounted for using practical expedients under ASC 842.
•Fee income consists of development fees, management fees, and leasing fees earned from unconsolidated joint ventures and from third parties. Fee income is accounted for in accordance with the guidance set forth in ASC 606.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized rental property revenues of $265.7 million and $526.8 million, respectively, of which $75.5 million and $149.3 million represented variable rental revenue, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized rental property revenues of $237.7 million and $480.7 million, respectively, of which $63.2 million and $132.1 million represented variable rental revenue.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company recognized fee and other revenue of $2.8 million and $4.8 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized fee and other revenue of $2.4 million and $9.7 million, respectively. Included in other revenue is interest income from investments in real estate debt (see note 3) and in 2025, other revenue includes the $4.6 million proceeds from the sale of the Company's bankruptcy claim related to the 2023 bankruptcy of Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB"). SVB's subsidiary, SVB Financial Group, was a tenant in the Company's Phoenix market at the time of the bankruptcy filing.
13. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION
On April 28, 2026, the Company's shareholders voted to approve the Amended and Restated Cousins Properties Incorporated 2019 Omnibus Incentive Stock Plan (the "Amended Incentive Plan"), which replaced the Cousins Properties Incorporated 2019 Omnibus Incentive Stock Plan (the "Prior Incentive Plan" and, together with the Amended Incentive Plan, the "Incentive Plan"), increased the aggregate share limit under the Incentive Plan by five million shares, and extended the term of the Incentive Plan to April 28, 2036.
The Company currently has several types of employee stock-based compensation, including restricted stock and restricted stock units ("RSUs"), issued under the Incentive Plan and the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"). While the Company's Incentive Plan also allows for the issuance of stock options, none have been issued or exercised or were outstanding as of or during any of the periods presented. A portion of the Company's independent directors' compensation is also provided in the form of Company stock issued under the Incentive Plan.
19
The Company's compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, relates to restricted stock, stock-settled RSUs, and the ESPP. Restricted stock, the stock-settled RSUs, and the ESPP options are equity-classified compensation for which compensation expense per share is fixed. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively, stock-based compensation expense, net of forfeitures, was recorded as follows ($ in thousands):

Information on the Company's stock compensation plan, including information on the Company's equity-classified awards is discussed in note 15 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Grants of Equity-Classified Awards
Under the Incentive Plan, in the second quarters of 2026 and 2025, the Company granted 61,794 and 60,121 shares of stock, respectively, with a grant date value of $1.6 million and $1.7 million, respectively, to independent members of the Company's board of directors (the "Board") for their service as members of the Board. These shares vested on the issuance date, and the Company records the related expense over the director's one year service period.
Under the Incentive Plan, in 2026 and 2025, the Company granted three types of equity-classified awards to key employees: (1) RSUs based on the Total Stockholder Return ("TSR") of the Company, as defined in the award documents, relative to that of office peers included in the Nareit Office Index (the "Market-based RSUs"); (2) RSUs based on the ratio of cumulative funds from operations per share to targeted cumulative funds from operations per share (the “Performance-based RSUs”); and (3) restricted stock.
The RSU awards are equity-classified awards to be settled in common stock with issuance dependent upon the attainment of required service, market, and performance criteria. For the Market-based RSUs, the Company expenses an estimate of the fair value of the awards on the grant date, calculated using a Monte Carlo valuation at grant date, ratably over the vesting period, adjusting only for forfeitures when they occur. The expense of these Market-based RSUs is not adjusted for the number of awards that are expected to vest or that actually vest. For the Performance-based RSUs, the Company expenses the awards over the vesting period using the fair market value of the Company's stock on the grant date. The expense for these Performance-based RSUs is recognized ratably over the vesting period and adjusted each quarter based on the number of shares expected to vest and for forfeitures when they occur. The performance period for each of the Performance-based RSUs and TSR measurement period for the Market-based RSUs awarded is three years , starting on January 1 of the year of issuance and ending on December 31. The ultimate settlement of these awards can range from zero percent to 200 % of the targeted number of units, depending on the achievement of the market and performance metrics described above.
The restricted stock vests ratably over three years from the grant date. The Company records restricted stock in common stock and additional paid-in capital at fair value on the grant date, with the offsetting deferred compensation also recorded in additional paid-in capital. The Company records compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period.
The following table summarizes the grants of equity-classified awards made to employees by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively (in thousands):

16. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
The Company's segments are based on the method of internal reporting with operating segments being each of the operating office properties. These operating segments are aggregated for reporting by geographical area , with these geographical regions being: Austin, Atlanta, Charlotte, Dallas, Houston, Nashville, Phoenix, and Tampa.
Company management evaluates the performance of its operating segments in part based on Net Operating Income ("NOI"). Office Property NOI is regularly reported to the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") by operating segment. The CODM is the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer. Each segment includes both consolidated operations and the Company's share of unconsolidated joint venture operations.
Segment net income, individually significant components of rental property operating expenses, amount of capital expenditures, and total assets are not presented in this note because the CODM does not utilize these measures when analyzing segments or when making resource allocation decisions. Information on the Company's segments along with a reconciliation of NOI to net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025 are as follows ($ in thousands):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Overview of 2026 Performance and Company and Industry Trends
Cousins Properties Incorporated ("Cousins") (and collectively, with its subsidiaries, the "Company," "we," "our," or "us") is a publicly traded (NYSE: CUZ), self-administered, and self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. Cousins conducts substantially all of its business through Cousins Properties LP ("CPLP"). Cousins owns in excess of 99% of CPLP and consolidates CPLP. CPLP owns Cousins TRS Services LLC, a taxable entity that owns and manages its own real estate portfolio and performs certain real estate related services for other parties. Our strategy is to create stockholder value by owning a lifestyle office portfolio (described in further detail below) in the Sun Belt markets, with a particular focus on the core markets of Austin, Atlanta, Charlotte, Tampa, Phoenix, Dallas, and Nashville. We execute this strategy through disciplined capital allocation, including opportunistic acquisitions, selective developments, and timely dispositions of non-core assets while maintaining a portfolio of newer, more efficient properties with lower capital expenditure requirements. This strategy is also based on a simple, flexible, and low-leverage balance sheet that allows us to pursue compelling growth opportunities at the most advantageous points in the cycle. To implement this strategy, we strive to have strong local operating platforms in each major market.
During the quarter, we leased 924,000 square feet of office space, including 395,000 of new and expansion leases representing 43% of total leasing activity. Straight-line basis net rent per square foot increased 26.8% for those office spaces that were under lease within the past year. Same property Net Operating Income ("NOI", defined below) for consolidated properties and our share of unconsolidated properties increased 2.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2025.
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we leased 1,856,000 square feet of office space, including 878,000 of new and expansion leases representing 47% of total leasing activity. Straight-line basis net rent per square foot increased 27.8% for those office spaces that were under lease within the past year. Same property net operating income for consolidated properties and our share of unconsolidated properties increased 1.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2025.
On April 1, 2026, we entered into a new five-year $1.2 billion unsecured credit facility which replaced the prior $1.0 billion facility that was scheduled to mature in April 2027, added two six-month extensions to each of our existing $400 million and $100 million unsecured term loans, and improved the borrowing spread by fifteen basis points on both the credit facility and the $400 million term loan and by thirty basis points on the $100 million term loan.
On April 30, 2026, we purchased our partner's 10% interest in 100 Mill, in Phoenix, for $18.5 million. The purchase price included a promote to our partner in excess of its partnership interest and represented a negotiated fair value for the property of $158.7 million.
On June 26, 2026, we sold our Research Park V, a 173,000 square foot office property in Austin, for a gross sales price of $42.0 million, resulting in a gain of $9.2 million on June 26, 2026.
Subsequent to quarter end, on July 17, 2026, we acquired a preferred equity interest in 5th & Walsh, a 199,000 square foot office development in Austin. Our funding commitment of $31.5 million is expected to be invested in 2027.
Subsequent to quarter end, on July 29, 2026, we sold One Eleven Congress, a 519,000 square foot office property in Austin, for a gross sales price of $208.0 million.
We believe the Sun Belt, and in particular the seven core Sun Belt markets in which we own properties, will continue to outperform the broader office sector as evidenced by clear bifurcation between Sun Belt and Gateway market fundamentals. In addition, as the flight to quality trend accelerates among office users, we believe our lifestyle office portfolio is well positioned to benefit from, and ultimately outperform in, the current real estate environment.
We consider “lifestyle offices” to be well-located buildings that are modern structures or have been modernized to compete with newer buildings, are professionally managed and maintained, and offer a number and type of amenities that are in high demand by customers that are focused on the importance of the physical work environment in recruiting and retaining employees. We believe our “lifestyle office” portfolio improves our ability to renew leases and obtain new customers which results in consistently higher occupancy than the remainder of the office buildings in our markets. We do not consider the expression “lifestyle office” a classification of our properties in accordance with any standard listing criteria in the real estate industry. We, therefore, caution investors that our use and definition of “lifestyle office” may be different than the use and definition of similar expressions and traditional classifications that may be used by other companies.

Results of Operations For The Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2026
General
Net income available to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, was $26.2 million and $1.3 million, respectively. Net income available to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, was $14.5 million and $35.4 million, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded a gain of $9.2 million upon sale of Research Park V in June 2026. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded a $36.6 million of impairment related to One Eleven Congress, which [was sold subsequent to quarter end on July 29, 2026]. We detail below other material changes in the components of net income and loss available to common stockholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same periods in 2025.
Rental Property Revenue, Rental Property Operating Expenses, and Net Operating Income
The following results include the performance of our Same Property portfolio. Our Same Property portfolio includes office properties that were stabilized and owned by us for the entirety of each comparable reporting period presented and excludes any office properties held for sale. Same Property amounts for the 2026 versus 2025 comparison period are for office properties that were stabilized and owned as of January 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. We consider many factors in determining whether a property has stabilized, including the property’s occupancy (independently and relative to its submarket) and current leasing pipeline, as well as time since the cessation of major construction activity.
Company management evaluates the performance of its property portfolio, in part, based on NOI. NOI represents rental property revenues, excluding termination fee income, less rental property operating expenses. NOI is not a measure of cash flows or operating results as measured by GAAP, is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. All companies may not calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income as it helps both management and investors understand the core operations of our operating assets. NOI excludes corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairments, gains/losses on sales of real estate, and other non-operating items. As a result, we use only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level to evaluate a property's performance.
The following table reconciles net income to consolidated NOI for each of the periods presented ($ in thousands):

Same Property NOI represents Net Operating Income for those office properties that were stabilized and owned by us for the entirety of the 2026 and 2025 reporting periods presented, excluding any office properties held for sale. Same Property NOI allows analysts, investors, and management to analyze continuing operations and evaluate the growth trend of the Company's portfolio.
Same Property Rental Property Revenues, Operating Expenses, and NOI increased for the three months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in occupancy at Promenade Tower, Avalon, 3350 Peachtree, and Corporate Center.
Non-Same Property Rental Property Revenues, Operating Expenses, and NOI increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same periods in the prior year primarily due to the acquisitions of 300 South Tryon in February 2026 as well as the acquisition of The Link in July 2025. These increases were partially offset by the sales of Harborview in February 2026 and Research Park V in June 2026.

NOI from the Dallas market increased $4.9 million and $9.7 million, or 135.5% and 134.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of The Link in July 2025. NOI from the Charlotte market increased $5.0 million and $7.1 million, or 29.2% and 21.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively, primarily due to the acquisition of 300 South Tryon in February 2026. NOI from the Phoenix market increased $1.3 million and $3.0 million, or 11.0% and 12.3%, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively, primarily due to increased occupancy related to the completion of Hayden Ferry I's redevelopment in the fourth quarter of 2025. NOI from the Atlanta market increased $3.9 million and $6.8 million, or 7.6% and 6.8%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively, primarily due to increased occupancy at the Avalon and 3350 Peachtree and the end of several variable rent abatement periods at Promenade Tower.
Fee Income
Fee income increased $1.8 million and $2.5 million, or 358.9% and 254.7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily by providing leasing services to our Proscenium joint venture.
Other Income
Other income decreased $1.4 million and $7.4 million, or 71% and 85.1%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to the sale of our Silicon Valley Bank bankruptcy claim in the first quarter of 2025, for $4.6 million, and a reduction in interest income from the two mezzanine loans and the Saint Ann Court Mortgage Loan earned in the first quarter of 2025. These reductions were partially offset by interest income from the joint venture partner loan, which was issued in September 2025. These transactions are described in further detail in note 3 and note 12 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased $2.4 million and $3.5 million, or 24.4% and 17.2%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively, primarily due to increases in compensation related expenses including leasing commissions incurred providing leasing services to our Proscenium joint venture for which we receive leasing fee income noted above.
Interest Expense
Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized, increased $8.6 million and $16.9 million, or 22.2% and 22.4%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same periods in the prior year, respectively, primarily due to the issuance of the $500 million unsecured senior notes in February 2026, and a higher average balance outstanding on the credit facility. Increased interest expense was partially offset by the repayment of $150 million of the 2021 Term Loan in February 2026.

Non-Same Property depreciation and amortization increased for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to the acquisition of 300 South Tryon in February 2026, the acquisition of The Link in July 2025, and the completion of development at Domain 9 in March 2025. These increases were partially offset by the sale of Harborview Plaza in February 2026 and the classification of One Eleven Congress as held for sale in May 2026.
Income and Net Operating Income from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Income from unconsolidated joint ventures consisted of the Company's share of the following ($ in thousands):

The change in loss from unconsolidated joint ventures was driven by increases in unconsolidated depreciation and amortization expense as well as unconsolidated interest expense. Unconsolidated depreciation and amortization expense and interest expense increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to assets being placed in service as the development of Phase I of the Neuhoff joint venture was completed and initial operations commenced.
Non-Same Property NOI from unconsolidated joint ventures increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared to the same period in the prior year, primarily due to operations at the Neuhoff joint venture, as the property continues to increase occupancy.
Funds From Operations
The following tables show Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and the related reconciliation from net income available to common stockholders. We calculate FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"), which is net income available to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from sales of depreciable property, gains and losses from changes in control, impairment of depreciable real estate 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 a 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
29
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. 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, we use FFO, along with other measures, to assess performance in connection with evaluating and granting incentive compensation to our officers and other key employees.
The reconciliation of net income to FFO is as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary short-term and long-term liquidity needs include the following:
•property operating expenses;
•property, land, and other real estate related acquisitions;
•expenditures on development and redevelopment projects;
•building improvements, tenant improvements, and leasing costs;
•principal and interest payments on indebtedness;
•general and administrative costs; and
•common stock dividends and distributions to outside unitholders of CPLP.
We may satisfy these needs with one or more of the following:
•cash and cash equivalents on hand;
•net cash from operations;
•proceeds from the sale of assets;
•borrowings under our Credit Facility;
•proceeds from mortgage notes payable;
•proceeds from construction loans;
•proceeds from unsecured loans;
•proceeds from offerings of debt and equity securities; and
•joint venture formations.
Our material capital expenditure commitments as of June 30, 2026, included $205.3 million of unfunded tenant improvements and construction costs. As of June 30, 2026, we had $167.0 million drawn under our credit facility with the ability to borrow $1.0 billion, as well as $6.7 million of cash and cash equivalents. We expect to have sufficient liquidity to meet our obligations for the foreseeable future.
Other Debt Information
In addition to our $1.2 billion unsecured Credit Facility, under which $167.0 million is outstanding as of June 30, 2026, we also have unsecured debt from four outstanding public unsecured senior notes totaling $1.9 billion, two term loans totaling $500 million, and four tranches of privately placed unsecured senior notes totaling $750 million. Our existing consolidated mortgage debt is comprised of non-recourse, fixed-rate mortgage notes secured by various real estate assets. We expect to either refinance our non-recourse mortgage loans at maturity or repay the mortgage loans with other capital resources, including our credit facility, unsecured debt, non-recourse mortgages, construction loans, the sale of assets, joint venture equity, the issuance of common stock, the issuance of preferred stock, or the issuance of units of CPLP. Many of our non-recourse mortgages contain covenants that, if not satisfied, could result in acceleration of the maturity of the debt. 88% of our consolidated debt bears interest at a fixed rate. The 12% of consolidated debt that bears interest at a floating rate is based on SOFR.
On April 1, 2026, we recast our Credit Facility to provide borrowing capacity up to $1.2 billion subject to conditions. This new facility replaced the Company's existing facility, extended the scheduled maturity from April 2027 to April 2031, and increased the borrowing capacity from $1.0 billion to $1.2 billion. Additionally, we amended our 2021 Term Loan and 2022 Term Loan, adding two six-month extension options to each. Since December 31, 2025, our all-in borrowing spread improved by 15 basis points on both the revolving credit facility and the 2022 Term Loan, and 30 basis points on the 2021 Term Loan. As of June 30, 2026, the borrowing spread on our Credit Facility was 72.5 basis points over SOFR, and the borrowing spread on both term loans was 80 basis points over SOFR. Financial covenants within the new facilities remained generally unchanged.
We are in compliance with all covenants of our existing unsecured and secured debt.
Future Capital Requirements
To meet capital requirements for future investment activities, we intend to actively manage our portfolio of properties and strategically sell assets to exit our non-core holdings and reposition our portfolio of income-producing assets. We also expect to continue to utilize cash retained from operations, as well as third-party sources of capital such as indebtedness, to fund future commitments and to utilize construction financing facilities for some development assets, if available and under appropriate terms. We may also generate capital through the issuance of securities that include common or preferred stock, warrants, debt securities, or the issuance of CPLP limited partnership units. The Company and CPLP have filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC registering, among other securities, debt securities of CPLP, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. Separate consolidated financial statements of CPLP have not been presented in accordance with the amendments to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X. Furthermore, as permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi), the Company has excluded the summarized financial information for CPLP as the assets, liabilities, and results of operations of the Company and CPLP are not materially different than the corresponding
31
amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and management believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and not provide incremental value to investors.
Our business model also includes raising or recycling capital, which can assist in meeting obligations and funding development and acquisition activity. If one or more sources of capital are not available when required, we may be forced to reduce the number of projects we acquire or develop and/or raise capital on potentially unfavorable terms, or we may be unable to raise capital, which could have an adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Cash Flows
We report and analyze our cash flows based on operating activities, investing activities, and financing activities. The following table sets forth the changes in cash flows ($ in thousands):
| Six Months Ended June 30, | |||||||||||||||||
| 2026 | 2025 | Change | |||||||||||||||
| Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 196,985 | $ | 167,312 | $ | 29,673 | |||||||||||
| Net cash used in investing activities | (359,379) | (25,411) | (333,968) | ||||||||||||||
| Net cash provided by financing activities | 163,373 | 267,590 | (104,217) | ||||||||||||||
The reasons for significant increases and decreases in cash flows between the periods are as follows:
Cash Flows from Operating Activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities increased by $29.7 million during the 2026 six month period compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to the acquisitions of The Link and 300 South Tryon. In addition to these acquisitions there was an increase in cash inflows from a combination of increased occupancy and expiration of rent abatement periods, primarily at Promenade Tower, Domain 9, Hayden Ferry, and 300 Colorado. These inflows were partially offset by increased interest payments from increased average balances on the credit facility and the senior note issuances in June 2025 and February 2026.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities. Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $334.0 million for the 2026 six month period compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to the acquisition of 300 South Tryon in February 2026 partially offset by the receipt of proceeds from the sales of Harborview and Research Park V. In addition, the receipt of proceeds upon repayment by the borrower of the Saint Ann Court mortgage loan in January 2025 reduced cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities. Cash flows provided by financing activities for the 2026 six month period were $163.4 million, compared to cash flows provided by financing activities of $267.6 million for the same period in 2025. During the six month period in 2026, we received proceeds from the issuance of the 4.875% public senior notes in February 2026, and we had an increase in net borrowings on our credit facility. These proceeds were partially offset by a $150 million partial repayment of the 2021 Term Loan and a $90 million repurchase of outstanding common shares under the 2026 share repurchase program. During the six month period in 2025, we received proceeds from the issuance of the 5.250% public senior notes in June 2025, partially offset by an increase in net repayments on our credit facility.
Capital Expenditures. We incur capital expenditures for the development of new properties, the redevelopment of existing or newly purchased properties, building improvements, direct leasing costs for new or replacement tenants, and capitalized interest and salaries. Components of expenditures included in this line item for the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025 are as follows ($ in thousands):

32
Capital expenditures increased $7.4 million between the 2026 and 2025 six month periods, primarily due to partial redevelopment activity at 201 North Tryon, 550 South, and Hayden Ferry.
The above leasing costs include leasing commissions and tenant improvements, which are both capitalized as a component of our real estate assets as they are incurred. Commitments toward those costs are calculated on square foot basis and are included in our leasing activity as leases are executed.

Net cash rent is net of any recovery of operating expenses but prior to any deductions for leasing costs. | ||||
Dividends. We paid common dividends of $108.0 million and $108.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2026, and 2025, respectively. We expect to fund our future quarterly common dividends with cash provided by operating activities, also using proceeds from investment property sales, distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures, indebtedness, and proceeds from offerings of equity and other securities, if necessary.
On a quarterly basis, we review the amount of the common dividend in light of current and projected future cash flows from the sources noted above and also consider the requirements needed to maintain our REIT status. In addition, we have certain covenants under credit agreements that could limit the amount of common dividends paid. In general, common dividends of any amount can be paid as long as leverage, as defined in our credit agreements, is less than 60% and we are not in default. Certain conditions also apply
33
in which we can still pay common dividends if leverage is above that amount. We routinely monitor the status of our common dividend payments in light of the covenants of our credit agreements.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
General. We have a number of off balance sheet joint ventures with varying structures, as described in note 6 of the notes to consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in note 4 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in this filing. The joint ventures in which we have an interest are involved in the ownership, acquisition, and/or development of real estate. A venture will fund capital requirements or operational needs with cash from operations or financing proceeds, if possible. If additional capital is deemed necessary, a venture may request a contribution from the partners, and we will evaluate such request.
Debt. At June 30, 2026, our unconsolidated joint ventures had aggregate outstanding indebtedness to third parties of $337.0 million. These loans are generally mortgage or construction loans, which are non-recourse to us. In certain instances, we provide “non-recourse carve-out guarantees” on these non-recourse loans. In addition, along with our Neuhoff Holdings LLC joint venture partner, we guarantee our respective halves of the borrower's obligations to pay certain required equity contributions and project carrying costs, as well as timely completion of project construction. Certain of these loans have variable interest rates, which creates exposure to the ventures in the form of market risk from interest rate changes.
Critical Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes in the critical accounting policies from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no material changes in the market risk associated with our notes payable at June 30, 2026, compared to that as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management necessarily applies judgment in assessing the costs and benefits of such controls and procedures, which, by their nature, can provide only reasonable assurance regarding our control objectives.
As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness, design, and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)). Based upon the foregoing, the Chief Executive Officer along with the Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. In addition, based on such evaluation, we have identified no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
Information regarding legal proceedings is described under the subheading "Litigation" in note 10 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Risk factors that affect our business and financial results are discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously disclosed in our Annual Report. You should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results. If any of the risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, and/or results of operations could be negatively affected.
