Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks Cousins Properties names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 5, 2026: 27 risks under these headings, as written.18

  • General Risks of Owning and Operating Real Estate
  • Our ownership of commercial real estate involves a number of risks, the effects of which could adversely affect our business.
  • Financing Risks
  • At certain times, interest rates and other market conditions for obtaining capital could be unfavorable, and, as a result, we may be unable to raise the capital needed to invest in acquisition or development opportunities, maintain our properties, or otherwise satisfy our commitments on a timely basis, or we may be forced to raise capital at a higher cost or under restrictive terms, which could adversely affect our cash flows and results of operations.
  • Any additional indebtedness incurred may have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.
  • Covenants contained in our Credit Facility, senior unsecured notes, term loans, and mortgages could restrict our operational flexibility, which could adversely affect our results of operations.
  • Our degree of leverage could limit our ability to obtain additional financing or affect the market price of our securities.
  • Adverse changes to our credit ratings could limit our access to funding and increase our borrowing costs.
  • Real Estate Acquisition and Development Risks
  • We face risks associated with operating property acquisitions.
  • We face risks associated with the development of real estate.
  • Investment in Real Estate Debt Risks
The other 18 risks
  • Our investments in real estate debt face prepayment risk and interest rate fluctuations that may adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
  • We will face risks related to our investments in mezzanine loans.
  • The mortgage loans in which we may invest are subject to delinquency, foreclosure, and loss, which could result in losses to us.
  • We are exposed to the risk of judicial proceedings with our borrowers, including bankruptcy or other litigation, as a strategy to avoid foreclosure or enforcement of other rights by us as a lender or investor. In the event that any of the properties or entities underlying or collateralizing our loans or investments experiences or continues to experience any of the other foregoing events or occurrences, the value of, and return on, such investments could be reduced, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
  • Federal Income Tax Risks
  • Any failure to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes could have a material adverse impact on us and our stockholders.
  • Certain property transfers may be characterized as prohibited transactions.
  • Recent changes to the U.S. tax laws could have an adverse impact on our business operations, financial condition, and earnings.
  • We may face risks in connection with Section 1031 Exchanges.
  • Disclosure Controls and Internal Control over Financial Reporting Risks
  • Our business could be adversely impacted if we have deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting.
  • General Risks
  • Adverse U.S. and global economic conditions could have a negative effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition and liquidity.
  • The market price of our common stock may fluctuate.
  • We face risks associated with cyberattacks with respect to our data and systems.
  • Use of artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that could impact our business.
  • We are dependent upon the services of certain key personnel, including members of the Board of Directors, the loss of any of whom could adversely impact our ability to execute our business.
  • Employee misconduct or misconduct by members of the Board of Directors could adversely impact our ability to execute our business.
  • Our restated and amended articles of incorporation contain limitations on ownership of our stock, which may prevent a change in control that might otherwise be in the best interest of our stockholders.
  • If our future operating performance does not meet the projections of our analysts or investors, our stock price could decline.
  • Corporate responsibility matters may expose us to negative public perception, impose additional costs on our business, or impact our stock price.

Legal proceedings

We are 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. We record 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, we accrue the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, we disclose the nature of the litigation and indicate 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, we disclose the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. We do 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 our liquidity, results of operations, business, or financial condition.
