Acquisitions and Development Activity

Acquisitions

On April 3, 2025, the Company acquired a 289,873 square foot facility 98% leased primarily to the DC Government (S&P: AA+). The LEED Silver and Energy Star rated facility, developed in 2006, has housed the DC Government since 2009 and they have since expanded and renewed numerous times within the building. The DC Government’s most recent extension secured its tenancy through 2038 with an option to renew for an additional five years at fair market rent. The facility is located within a heavily invested, transit-oriented neighborhood in Northeast Washington, DC. Key services housed in this facility include the headquarters for DC’s Public Schools and the Department of Energy & Environment.

On May 7, 2025, the Company acquired a 74,549 square foot facility primarily leased to the DHS and located near Burlington, Vermont. DHS - Burlington is a 100% leased build-to-suit facility, designed to the exact specifications of the U.S. Government. This Level IV secure facility includes support from U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and ICE’s Law Enforcement Support Center (LESC). This 10-year non-cancelable GSA lease does not expire until May 2031. As the primary occupant in the facility, LESC plays an integral role in the DHS’s efforts to protect and defend the United States and serves as a single, national point of contact 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year across three separate shifts. Agents within this facility provide a diverse support system to federal, state, tribal and local law enforcement agencies through LESC’s Enforcement Unit, which delivers immediate telephonic information to identify criminal threats, near real-time investigative referrals, and arrest warrant validation. Similarly, its Operations Unit processes biometric and biographic Immigration Alien Queries (IAQs) originating from law enforcement agencies across the country.

Development

On June 11, 2025, the Company acquired the land to develop a 40,035 rentable square foot Federal District and Federal Magistrate Courthouse in Medford, Oregon (“JUD - Medford”) with a 20-year non-cancelable lease. JUD - Medford is expected to be a state-of-the-art, two-story courthouse that is designed to meet LEED Silver for New Construction. The facility is expected to be designed according to the Government’s specific requirements for a district courthouse. In addition to the District and Federal Magistrate courtrooms, the courthouse is expected to also house the offices for both U.S. Senators, U.S. Marshal Service, a Probation Office, and U.S. Attorneys Office, all under the same 20-year non-cancelable lease. Sitework is slated to commence in the first half of 2026 with an anticipated delivery date in the second half of 2027. Once delivered, a brand-new 20-year firm term lease will commence with the GSA for the benefit of the United States Judiciary.

Balance Sheet and Capital Markets Activity

As of June 30, 2025, the Company had total indebtedness of approximately $1.7 billion comprised of $277.6 million outstanding on its senior unsecured revolving credit facility, $100.0 million outstanding on its 2016 term loan facility, $174.5 million outstanding on its 2018 term loan facility, $1.0 billion of senior unsecured notes, and $154.0 million of mortgage debt (excluding unamortized premiums and discounts and deferred financing fees). The Company's outstanding debt had a weighted average maturity of 4.4 years and a weighted average interest rate of 4.7%. Further, the Company's Net Debt to total enterprise value was 62.2% and its Adjusted Net Debt to annualized quarterly pro forma EBITDA ratio was 7.2x.

Dividend

On July 30, 2025, the Board of Directors of Easterly approved a cash dividend for the second quarter of 2025 in the amount of $0.45 per common share. The dividend will be payable August 25, 2025 to shareholders of record on August 13, 2025.

Subsequent Events

On July 2, 2025, the Company acquired the land to develop an approximately 64,000 square foot laboratory in Fort Myers, Florida. The laboratory will be primarily leased to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement over a 25-year non-cancelable term with two five-year renewal options.

Guidance

This guidance is forward-looking and reflects management’s view of current and future market conditions. The Company’s actual results may differ materially from this guidance.

Outlook for the 12 Months Ending December 31, 2025

The Company is maintaining its guidance for full-year 2025 Core FFO per share on a fully diluted basis at a range of $2.98 - $3.03.

This guidance assumes approximately $140 million of wholly owned acquisitions and $25 - $75 million of gross development-related investment during 2025.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures

This section contains definitions of certain non-GAAP financial measures and other terms that the Company uses in this press release and, where applicable, the reasons why management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors about the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and the other purposes for which management uses the measures. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with GAAP. A reconciliation of the differences between each non-GAAP financial measure and the comparable GAAP financial measure are included in this press release following the consolidated financial statements. Additional detail can be found in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as other documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. We present certain financial information and metrics “at Easterly’s Share,” which is calculated on an entity-by-entity basis. “At Easterly’s Share” information, which we also refer to as being “at share,” “pro rata,” or “our share” is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with GAAP.

Cash Available for Distribution (CAD) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not intended to represent cash flow for the period and is not indicative of cash flow provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP. CAD is calculated in accordance with the current Nareit definition as FFO minus normalized recurring real estate-related expenditures and other non-cash items, nonrecurring expenditures and the unconsolidated real estate venture’s allocated share of these adjustments. CAD is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because the Company believes it provides useful information regarding the Company’s ability to fund its dividends. Because all companies do not calculate CAD the same way, the presentation of CAD may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO) adjusts FFO to present an alternative measure of the Company's operating performance, which, when applicable, excludes items which it believes are not representative of ongoing operating results, such as liability management related costs (including losses on extinguishment of debt and modification costs), catastrophic event charges, depreciation of non-real estate assets, provision for (recovery of) credit losses, and the unconsolidated real estate venture's allocated share of these adjustments. In future periods, the Company may also exclude other items from Core FFO that it believes may help investors compare its results. The Company believes Core FFO more accurately reflects the ongoing operational and financial performance of the Company's core business.

EBITDA is calculated as the sum of net income (loss) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, (gain) loss on the sale of operating properties, impairment loss, and the unconsolidated real estate venture’s allocated share of these adjustments. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow for the period, is not presented as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of operating performance, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not indicative of operating income or cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP and may be presented on a pro forma basis. EBITDA is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure with respect to liquidity because the Company believes it provides useful information regarding the Company's ability to service or incur debt. Because all companies do not calculate EBITDA the same way, the presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Funds From Operations (FFO) is defined, in accordance with the Nareit FFO White Paper - 2018 Restatement, as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. FFO includes the Company’s share of FFO generated by unconsolidated affiliates. FFO is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. Although FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, the Company believes that information regarding FFO is helpful to shareholders and potential investors.

Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt Net Debt represents the Company's consolidated debt and its share of unconsolidated debt adjusted to exclude its share of unamortized premiums and discounts and deferred financing fees, less its share of cash and cash equivalents and property acquisition closing escrow, net of deposit. By excluding these items, the result provides an estimate of the contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid, net of cash available to repay it. The Company believes this calculation constitutes a beneficial supplemental non-GAAP financial disclosure to investors in understanding its financial condition. Adjusted Net Debt is Net Debt reduced by 1) for each project under construction or in design, the lesser of i) outstanding lump-sum reimbursement amounts and ii) the cost to date, 2) 40% times the amount by which the cost to date exceeds total lump-sum reimbursement amounts for each project under construction or in design and 3) outstanding lump-sum reimbursement amounts for projects previously completed. These adjustments are made to 1) remove the estimated portion of each project under construction, in design or previously completed that has been financed with debt which may be repaid with outstanding cost reimbursement payments from the US Government and 2) remove the estimated portion of each project under construction or in design, in excess of total lump-sum reimbursements, that has been financed with debt but has not yet produced earnings. See page 25 of the Company’s Q2 2025 Supplemental Information Package for further information. The Company’s method of calculating Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt may be different from methods used by other REITs and may be presented on a pro forma basis. Accordingly, the Company's method may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Other Definitions

Fully diluted basis assumes the exchange of all outstanding common units representing limited partnership interests in the Company’s operating partnership, or common units, the full vesting of all shares of restricted stock, and the exchange of all earned and vested LTIP units in the Company’s operating partnership for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis, which is not the same as the meaning of “fully diluted” under GAAP.

Conference Call Information

The Company will host a webcast and conference call at 11:00 am Eastern time on August 5, 2025 to review the second quarter 2025 performance, discuss recent events and conduct a question-and-answer session. A live webcast will be available in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website. Shortly after the webcast, a replay of the webcast will be available on the Investor Relations section of the Company's website for up to twelve months. Please note that the full text of the press release and supplemental information package are also available through the Company’s website at ir.easterlyreit.com.
