Administration
EastGroup maintains its principal executive office and headquarters in Ridgeland, Mississippi.  The Company also has regional offices in Atlanta, Dallas and Los Angeles and asset management offices in Orlando, Miami, Houston and Phoenix.  EastGroup has property management offices in Jacksonville, Tampa, Charlotte and San Antonio.  Offices at these locations allow the Company to provide property management services to all of its Florida, Texas (except Austin and El Paso), Arizona, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia properties, which together account for 78%79% of the Company’s totaloperating portfolio on a square foot basis.  In addition, the Company currently provides property administration (accounting of operations) for its entire portfolio.  The regional offices in Georgia, Texas and California provide oversight of the Company'sCompany’s development and value-add program.  As of February 16, 2021,15, 2022, EastGroup had 7982 full-time employees and 1 part-time employee.employees.

Business Overview
EastGroup'sEastGroup’s goal is to maximize shareholder value by being a leading provider in its markets of functional, flexible and quality business distribution space for location-sensitive customers (primarily in the 15,000 to 70,000 square foot range).  The Company develops, acquires and operates distribution facilities, the majority of which are clustered around major transportation features in supply-constrained submarkets in major Sunbelt regions. The Company'sCompany’s core markets are in the states of Florida, Texas, Arizona, California and North Carolina.  

As of December 31, 2020,2021, EastGroup owned 406448 industrial properties and one office building in 11 states. As of that same date, the Company'sCompany’s portfolio, including development projects and value-add properties in lease-up and under construction, included approximately 46.650.9 million square feet consisting of 369411 business distribution buildingsproperties containing 41.946.2 million square feet, 13 bulk distribution buildingsproperties containing 3.5 million square feet, and 24 business service buildingsproperties containing 1.2 million square feet. As of December 31, 2020, EastGroup's2021, EastGroup’s operating portfolio was 98%98.7% leased to approximately 1,5501,565 tenants, with no single tenant accounting for more than approximately 1% of the Company'sCompany’s income from real estate operations.operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. As of February 16, 2021,15, 2022, the properties which were in the development and value-add program at year-end were approximately 35%49% leased.

5


During 2020,2021, EastGroup increased its holdings in real estate properties through its acquisition and development programs.  The Company purchased 509,0001,806,000 square feet of operating and value-add properties and 232.6365.8 acres of land for a total of $122.2$320.3 million.  Also during 2020,2021, the Company began construction of 517 development projects containing 851,0002,806,000 square feet and
5


transferred 1817 projects, which contain 2.42.7 million square feet and had costs of $249.4$272.3 million at the date of transfer, from its development and value-add program to real estate properties.    

During 2020,2021, EastGroup completed dispositions including 126,000sold an operating property containing 284,000 square feet, of operating properties, which generated gross proceeds of $21$45.1 million.

The Company typically initially funds its development and acquisition programs through its $395 million unsecured bank credit facilities, the total capacity of which was increased in June 2021 to $475 million (as discussed under the heading Liquidity and Capital Resources in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K). As market conditions permit, EastGroup issues equity or employs fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, to replace short-term bank borrowings. In June 2019, Moody'sMoody’s Investors Service affirmedhas assigned the Company'sCompany’s issuer rating of Baa2 with a stable outlook. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. For future debt issuances, the Company intends to issue primarily unsecured fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps. The Company may also access the public debt market in the future as a means to raise capital.

EastGroup holds its properties as long-term investments but may determine to sell certain properties that no longer meet its investment criteria.  The Company may provide financing to a prospective purchaser in connection with such sales of property if market conditions require.  In addition, the Company may provide financing to a partner or co-owner in connection with an acquisition of real estate in certain situations.

Subject to the requirements necessary to maintain EastGroup’s qualifications as a REIT, the Company may acquire securities of entities engaged in real estate activities or securities of other issuers, including for the purpose of exercising control over those entities.

EastGroup has no present intention of acting as an underwriter of offerings of securities of other issuers.  The strategies and policies set forth above were determined and are subject to review by EastGroup'sEastGroup’s Board of Directors, which may change such strategies or policies based upon its evaluation of the state of the real estate market, the performance of EastGroup'sEastGroup’s assets, capital and credit market conditions, and other relevant factors.  

Competition
The market for the leasing of industrial real estate is competitive. We experience competition for tenants from existing properties in proximity to our buildings as well as from new development. Institutional investors, other REITs and local real estate operators generally own such properties; however, no single competitor or small group of competitors is dominant in our current markets. Even so, as a result of competition, we may have to provide concessions, incur charges for tenant improvements or offer other inducements, all of which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations. The market for the acquisition of industrial real estate is also competitive. We compete for real property investments with other REITs and institutional investors such as pension funds and their advisors, private real estate investment funds, insurance company investment accounts, private investment companies, individuals and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities.

Regulations
Compliance with various governmental regulations has an impact on EastGroup'sEastGroup’s business, including EastGroup'sEastGroup’s capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position, which can be material. EastGroup incurs costs to monitor and take actions to comply with governmental regulations that are applicable to its business, which include, among others, federal securities laws and regulations, applicable stock exchange requirements, REIT and other tax laws and regulations, environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, local zoning, usage and other regulations relating to real property, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”).

The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all states where EastGroup'sEastGroup’s customers operate their businesses or where EastGroup'sEastGroup’s properties are located. EastGroup'sEastGroup’s business and some of its customers'customers’ businesses have been impacted and may continue to be impacted by measures taken to control the COVID-19 outbreak (including “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders, density limitations and social distancing orders, and other mandates issued by local, state or federal authorities). The extent of the pandemic’s impact varies by business; to date, there has not been a material adverse impact on the Company.

6


Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on or in such property.  Many such laws impose liability without regard to whether the owner knows of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances.  The presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell or rent such property or to use such property as collateral in its borrowings.  EastGroup’s properties have generally been subject to Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (“ESAs”) by independent environmental consultants and, as necessary, have
6


been subjected to Phase II ESAs.  These reports have not revealed any potential significant environmental liability.  Our management is not aware of any environmental liability that would have a material adverse effect on EastGroup’s business, assets, financial position or results of operations.

See “Item 1A. Risk Factors in this Annual Report for a discussion of material risks to EastGroup, including related to governmental regulations and environmental matters.

Environmental, Social and Governance (“ESG”) Matters
EastGroup'sEastGroup’s commitment to ESG initiatives is evidenced by its building standards, corporate policies and procedures and positive company culture. At EastGroup, protecting the environment is important to the Company'sCompany’s employees, families, customers and communities.  The Company strives to support sustainability through its commitment to build high performance and environmentally responsible properties.  Through EastGroup’s continued efforts, numerous properties have been Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (“LEED”) and ENERGY STAR certified, and while formal certification is not always pursued, the Company builds all of the Company'sits development properties are built towith the intention of meeting LEED certifiable standards. The Company is continually investingconsistently invests in energy-efficient improvements throughout its portfolio, such as LED lighting, skylights, white reflective roofing, carelectric vehicle charging stations and smart sensor irrigation systems. The Company strives for efficiency in operating properties with innovative solutions that lower operational costs and reduce the environmental footprint. In June 2021, the Company amended and restated its unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured working cash credit facility. The new credit facilities provide for an incremental reduction in borrowing costs if a certain sustainability-linked metric is achieved. This metric is based on a target number of newly-constructed buildings with qualifying electric vehicle charging stations as a percentage of total qualifying buildings for each fiscal year and allows for the reduction of the applicable interest margin by one basis point upon satisfaction of these targets. The baseline was set based on the year ended December 31, 2021, and will be measured annually beginning with the year ending December 31, 2022. The Company believes that its continued commitment to pursue environmentally conscious performance and standards through sustainability best practices creates long-term value for the environment, the Company and its shareholders.stakeholders.

During 2021, the Company acted on its commitment to ESG initiatives by hiring a full-time Director of Corporate Sustainability to lead its ESG efforts. The Company also expanded its ESG Committee to include employee representation from various operational groups and geographic locations.

In addition, EastGroup and its employees are committed to social responsibility and are active participants in the communities where they live and work.  EastGroup'sEastGroup’s employees volunteer for numerous charities, and the Company coordinates volunteer opportunities for its employees and provides paid time off for volunteering in order to encourage participation and increase social engagement in all of the communities in which we operate.it operates.

EastGroup operates on the premise that good corporate governance is fundamental to the Company'sCompany’s business and core values, and the Company believes its corporate governance policies and practices are well aligned with the interests of shareholders.stakeholders. The honesty and integrity of the Company'sCompany’s management and Board of Directors are critical assets in maintaining the trust of the Company'sCompany’s investors, employees, customers, vendors and the communities in which the Company operates.

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this document, readers should carefully consider the following risk factors.  Any of these risks or the occurrence of any one or more of the uncertainties described below could have a material adverse effect on the Company'sCompany’s financial condition and the performance of its business. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial also may impair its business operations. The Company refers to itself as “we”, “us” or “our” in the following risk factors.

Real Estate Industry Risks
We face risks associated with local real estate conditions in areas where we own properties.  We may be adversely affected by general economic conditions and local real estate conditions.  For example, an oversupply of industrial properties in a local area or a decline in the attractiveness of our properties to tenants would have a negative effect on us.  Other factors that may affect general economic conditions or local real estate conditions include:

population and demographic trends;
employment and personal income trends;
income and other tax laws;
changes in interest rates and availability and costs of financing;
8


increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, utilities and real estate taxes, due to inflation and other factors which may not necessarily be offset by increased rents;
changes in the price of oil;
construction costs;
weather-related events; and
continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the impact of emerging variants and any related mitigation actions by governments or businesses, on our business and our tenants.

We may be unable to compete for properties and tenants.  The real estate business is highly competitive.  We compete for interests in properties with other real estate investors and purchasers, some of whom have greater financial resources, revenues and geographical diversity than we have.  Furthermore, we compete for tenants with other property owners.  All of our industrial properties are subject to significant local competition.  We also compete with a wide variety of institutions and other investors for capital funds necessary to support our investment activities and asset growth.

We are subject to significant regulation that constrains our activities.  Local zoning and land use laws, environmental statutes and other governmental requirements restrict our expansion, rehabilitation and reconstruction activities.  These regulations may prevent us from taking advantage of economic opportunities.  Legislation such as the Americans with Disabilities Act may require us to modify our properties, and noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants.  Future legislation may impose additional requirements.  We cannot predict what requirements may be enacted or what changes may be implemented to existing legislation.

Risks Associated with Our Properties
We may be unable to lease space on favorable terms or at all.  When a lease expires, a tenant may elect not to renew it.  We may not be able to re-lease the property on favorable terms, if we are able to re-lease the property at all.  The terms of renewal or re-lease (including the cost of required renovations and/or concessions to tenants) may be less favorable to us than the prior lease.  We also routinely develop properties with no pre-leasing.  If we are unable to lease all or a substantial portion of our properties, or if the rental rates upon such leasing are significantly lower than expected rates, our cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures and our ability to make expected distributions to stockholders may be adversely affected.

8


We have been and may continue to be affected negatively by tenant bankruptcies and leasing delays.  At any time, a tenant may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its financial condition.  Similarly, a general decline in the economy may result in a decline in the demand for space at our industrial properties.  As a result, our tenants may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, or declare bankruptcy.  Any such event could result in the termination of that tenant’s lease and losses to us, and funds available for distribution to investors may decrease.  We receive a substantial portion of our income as rents under mid-term and long-term leases.  If tenants are unable to comply with the terms of their leases for any reason, including because of rising costs or falling sales, we may deem it advisable to modify lease terms to allow tenants to pay a lower rent or a smaller share of taxes, insurance and other operating costs.  If a tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt, we cannot be sure that we could recover the premises from the tenant promptly or from a trustee or debtor-in-possession in any bankruptcy proceeding relating to the tenant.  We also cannot be sure that we would receive rent in the proceeding sufficient to cover our expenses with respect to the premises.  If a tenant becomes bankrupt, the federal bankruptcy code will apply and, in some instances, may restrict the amount and recoverability of our claims against the tenant.  A tenant’s default on its obligations to us could adversely affect our financial condition and the cash we have available for distribution.

We face risks associated with our property development.  We intend to continue to develop properties where we believe market conditions warrant such investment.  Once made, our investments may not produce results in accordance with our expectations.  Risks associated with our current and future development and construction activities include:

the availability of favorable financing alternatives;
the risk that we may not be able to obtain land on which to develop or that due to the increased cost of land, our activities may not be as profitable;
construction costs exceeding original estimates due to rising interest rates and increases in the costs of materials and labor;
disruption in supply and delivery chains;
construction and lease-up delays resulting in increased debt service, fixed expenses and construction costs;
expenditure of funds and devotion of management'smanagement’s time to projects that we do not complete;
fluctuations of occupancy and rental rates at newly completed properties, which depend on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, resulting in lower than projected rental rates and a corresponding lower return on our investment; and
9


complications (including building moratoriums and anti-growth legislation) in obtaining necessary zoning, occupancy and other governmental permits.

We face risks associated with property acquisitions.  We acquire individual properties and portfolios of properties and intend to continue to do so.  Our acquisition activities and their success are subject to the following risks:

when we are able to locate a desired property, competition from other real estate investors may significantly increase the purchase price;
acquired properties may fail to perform as we project;
the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than our estimates;
acquired properties may be located in new markets where we face risks associated with an incomplete knowledge or understanding of the local market, a limited number of established business relationships in the area and a relative unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures;
we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations, and as a result, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected; and
we may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, to the transferor with respect to unknown liabilities. As a result, if a claim were asserted against us based upon ownership of those properties, we might have to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our cash flow.

Coverage under our existing insurance policies may be inadequate to cover losses.  We generally maintain insurance policies related to our business, including casualty, general liability and other policies, covering our business operations, employees and assets as appropriate for the markets where our properties and business operations are located.  However, we would be required to bear all losses that are not adequately covered by insurance.  In addition, there may be certain losses that are not generally insured against or that are not generally fully insured against because it is not deemed economically feasible or prudent to do so, including losses due to floods, wind, earthquakes, acts of war, acts of terrorism or riots.  If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs with respect to one or more of our properties, then we could lose the capital we invested in the properties, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the properties.  In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged.

We face risks due to lack of geographic and real estate sector diversity.  Substantially all of our properties are located in the Sunbelt region of the United States with an emphasis in the states of Florida, Texas, Arizona, California and North Carolina. As of December 31, 2020,2021, our largest markets were Houston Dallas and Tampa.Dallas. We owned operating properties totaling 5.86.2 million square feet in Houston 4.6and 4.7 million square feet in Dallas, and 4.5 million square feet in Tampa, which represent 13.2%, 10.4% and 10.3%10.0%, respectively, of the Company'sCompany’s total Real estate properties on a square foot basis.  A downturn in general economic conditions and local real estate conditions in these geographic regions, as a result of oversupply of or reduced demand for industrial properties, local business climate, business layoffs and changing demographics, would have a particularly strong adverse effect on us.  In addition, our investments in real estate assets are concentrated in the industrial distribution sector.  This concentration may expose us to the risk of economic downturns in this sector to a greater extent than if our business activities included other sectors of the real estate industry.

We face risks due to the illiquidity of real estate which may limit our ability to vary our portfolio.  Real estate investments are relatively illiquid.  Our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions will therefore be limited.  In addition, because of our status as a REIT, the Internal Revenue Code limits our ability to sell our properties.  If we must sell an investment, we cannot ensure that we will be able to dispose of the investment on terms favorable to the Company.

We are subject to environmental laws and regulations.  Current and previous real estate owners and operators may be required under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations to investigate and clean up hazardous substances released at the properties they own or operate.  They may also be liable to the government or to third parties for substantial property or natural resource damage, investigation costs and cleanup costs.  Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of such hazardous substances.  In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs the government incurs in connection with the contamination.  Contamination may adversely affect the owner’s ability to use, sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral.  We have no way of determining at this time the magnitude of any potential liability to which we may be subject arising out of environmental conditions or violations with respect to the properties we currently or formerly owned.  Environmental laws today can impose liability on a previous owner or operator of a property that owned or operated the property at a time when hazardous or toxic substances were disposed of, released from, or present at the property.  A conveyance of the property, therefore, may not relieve the owner or operator from liability.  Although ESAs have been conducted at our properties to identify potential sources of contamination at the properties,
10


such ESAs do not reveal all environmental liabilities or compliance concerns that could arise from the properties.  Moreover, material environmental liabilities or compliance concerns may exist, of which we are currently unaware, that in the future may have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations.

Climate change and its effects, including compliance with new laws or regulations such as “green” building codes, may require us to make improvements to our existing properties or result in unanticipated losses that could affect our business and financial condition. To the extent that climate change causes an increase in catastrophic weather events, such as severe storms, fires or floods, our properties may be susceptible to an increase in weather-related damage.  Even in the absence of direct physical damage to our properties, the occurrence of any natural disasters or a changing climate in the area of any of our properties could have a material adverse effect on business, supply chains and the economy generally. Climate change could cause an increase in property and casualty insurance premiums. The potential impacts of future climate change on our properties could adversely affect our ability to lease, develop or sell our properties or to borrow using our properties as collateral.  In addition, any proposed legislation enacted to address climate change could increase the costs of energy, utilities and overall development. The resulting costs of any proposed legislation may adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Financing Risks
We face risks associated with the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments, including refinancing risk.  We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest.  In addition, certain of our debt will have significant outstanding principal balances on their maturity dates, commonly known as “balloon payments.”  Therefore, we will likely need to refinance at least a portion of our outstanding debt as it matures.  There is a risk that we may not be able to refinance existing debt or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of the existing debt.

We face risks associated with our dependence on external sources of capital.  In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required each year to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income, and we are subject to tax on our income to the extent it is not distributed.  Because of this distribution requirement, we may not be able to fund all future capital needs from cash retained from operations.  As a result, to fund capital needs, we rely on third-party sources of capital, which we may not be able to obtain on favorable terms, if at all.  Our access to third-party sources of capital depends upon a number of factors, including (i) general market conditions; (ii) the market’s perception of our growth potential; (iii) our current and potential future
10


earnings and cash distributions; and (iv) the market price of our capital stock.  Additional debt financing may substantially increasenegatively impact our financial ratios, such as our debt-to-total market capitalization ratio, our debt-to-EBITDAre ratio and our fixed charge coverage ratio.  Additional equity financing may dilute the holdings of our current stockholders.

Covenants in our credit agreements could limit our flexibility and adversely affect our financial condition.  The terms of our various credit agreements and other indebtedness require us to comply with a number of customary financial and other covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios and maintaining insurance coverage.  These covenants may limit our flexibility in our operations, and breaches of these covenants could result in defaults under the instruments governing the applicable indebtedness even if we had satisfied our payment obligations.  If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or meet our payment obligations, the amount of our distributable cash flow and our financial condition would be adversely affected.

Adverse changes in our credit ratings could impair our ability to obtain additional debt and equity financing on favorable terms, if at all. Our credit ratings are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analysis of us. Our credit ratings can affect the amount and type of capital we can access, as well as the terms of any financings we may obtain. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. In the event our current credit ratings deteriorate, it may be more difficult or expensive to obtain additional financing or refinance existing obligations and commitments. Also, a downgrade in our credit ratings would trigger additional costs or other potentially negative consequences under our current and future credit facilities and debt instruments.

Increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense. At December 31, 2020,2021, we had $125 million$209,210,000 of variable rate debt outstanding not protected by interest rate hedge contracts. We may incur additional variable rate debt in the future. If interest rates increase, then so would the interest expense on our unhedged variable rate debt, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. From time to time, we manage our exposure to interest rate risk with interest rate hedge contracts that effectively fix or cap a portion of our variable rate debt. In addition, we refinance fixed rate debt at times when we believe rates and terms are appropriate. Our efforts to manage these exposures may not be successful. Our use of interest rate hedge contracts to manage risk associated with interest rate volatility may expose us to additional risks, including a risk that a counterparty to a hedge contract may fail to honor its obligations. Developing an effective interest rate risk strategy
11


is complex and no strategy can completely insulate us from risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. There can be no assurance that our hedging activities will have the desired beneficial impact on our results of operations or financial condition. Termination of interest rate hedge contracts typically involves costs, such as transaction fees or breakage costs.

The discontinuation of LIBOR and the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate may adversely affect our borrowing costs and could impact our business and results of operations. The LIBOR benchmark has been the subject of national, international, and other regulatory guidance and proposals for reform and replacement, with most LIBOR tenors not expected to be published after June 30, 2023. In the U.S., the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“AARC”), which was convened by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, has recommended the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a recommended spread adjustment as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR. There are significant differences between LIBOR and SOFR, such as LIBOR being an unsecured lending rate while SOFR is a secured rate, and SOFR is an overnight rate while LIBOR reflects term rates at different maturities. We expect that all LIBOR settings relevant to us will cease to be published or will no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. As a result, any of our LIBOR-based borrowings that extend beyond such date will need to be converted to a replacement rate. Certain risks may arise in connection with transitioning contracts to SOFR or any other alternative variable rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted. The Company’s unsecured bank credit facilities, senior unsecured term loans and interest rate swap contracts are indexed to LIBOR andinclude provisions for a replacement rate which we believe will be substantially equivalent to the all-in LIBOR-based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement. It is not yet possible to predict the magnitude of LIBOR’s end on our borrowing costs given the remaining uncertainty about which rates will replace LIBOR. The Company is continuously monitoring and evaluating the related risks, which include interest on loans and amounts received and paid on derivative instruments. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued as interest rates may be adversely affected. While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until June 30, 2023, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator. In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

The lack of certain limitations on our debt could result in our becoming more highly leveraged.  Our governing documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur.  Accordingly, we may incur additional debt and would do so, for example, if it were necessary to maintain our status as a REIT.  We might become more highly leveraged as a result, and our financial condition and cash available for distribution to stockholders might be negatively affected and the risk of default on our indebtedness could increase.

Other Risks
The market value of our common stock could decrease based on our performance and market perception and conditions.  The market value of our common stock may be affected by the market’s perception of our operating results, growth potential, and current and future cash dividends and may also be affected by the real estate market value of our underlying assets.  The market price of our common stock may also be influenced by the dividend on our common stock relative to market interest rates.  Rising interest rates may lead potential buyers of our common stock to expect a higher dividend rate, which would adversely affect the market price of our common stock.  In addition, rising interest rates would result in increased expense, thereby adversely affecting cash flow and our ability to service our indebtedness and pay dividends.

The state of the economy or other adverse changes in general or local economic conditions may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Turmoil in the global financial markets may have an adverse impact on the availability of credit to businesses generally and could lead to a further weakening of the U.S. and global economies.  Currently these conditions have not impaired our ability to access credit markets and finance our operations.  However, our ability to access the capital markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to raise financing, which could have an impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions.  Furthermore, deteriorating economic conditions including business layoffs, downsizing, industry slowdowns and other similar factors that affect our customers could continue to negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values in our real estate portfolio and in the collateral securing any loan investments we may make.  Additionally, an adverse economic situation could have an impact on our lenders or customers, causing them to fail to meet their obligations to us.  No assurances
11


can be given that the effects of an adverse economic situation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may fail to qualify as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will not be allowed to deduct dividends to stockholders in computing our taxable income and will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates. In addition, we may be
12


barred from qualification as a REIT for the four years following disqualification. The additional tax incurred at regular corporate rates would significantly reduce the cash flow available for distribution to stockholders and for debt service. Furthermore, we would no longer be required by the Internal Revenue Code to make any dividends to our stockholders as a condition of REIT qualification. If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, subject to certain limitations in the Internal Revenue Code, corporate stockholders may be eligible for the dividends received deduction, and individual, trust and estate stockholders may be eligible to treat the dividends received from us as qualified dividend income taxable as net capital gains under the provisions of Section 1(h)(11) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, non-corporate stockholders (including individuals) will not be able to deduct 20% of certain dividends they receive from us. The REIT qualification requirements are extremely complex, and interpretation of the U.S. federal income tax laws governing REIT qualification is limited. Although we believe we have operated and intend to operate in a manner that will continue to qualify us as a REIT, we cannot be certain that we have been or will be successful in continuing to be taxed as a REIT. In addition, facts and circumstances that may be beyond our control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. We cannot assure you that new legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not change the tax laws significantly with respect to our qualification as a REIT or with respect to the federal income tax consequences of qualification.  

Legislative or regulatory action with respect to tax laws and regulations could adversely affect the Company and our stockholders. We are subject to state and local tax laws and regulations. Changes in state and local tax laws or regulations may result in an increase in our tax liability. A shortfall in tax revenues for states and municipalities in which we operate may lead to an increase in the frequency and size of such changes. If such changes occur, we may be required to pay additional taxes on our assets or income. These increased tax costs could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and the amount of cash available for the payment of dividends.
In addition, in recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made to the federal income tax laws applicable to investments in REITs and similar entities. Additional changes to tax laws are likely to continue to occur in the future, and we cannot assure our stockholders that any such changes will not adversely affect the taxation of a stockholder. We cannot assure you that future changes to tax laws and regulations will not have an adverse effect on an investment in our stock.
To maintain our status as a REIT, we limit the amount of shares any one stockholder can own. The Internal Revenue Code imposes certain limitations on the ownership of the stock of a REIT. For example, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares of capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) during the last half of any taxable year. To protect our REIT status, our charter prohibits any holder from acquiring more than 9.8% (in value or in number, whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding equity stock (defined as all of our classes of capital stock, except our excess stock (of which there is none outstanding)) unless our Board of Directors grants a waiver. The ownership limit may limit the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of common stock that might otherwise exist if an investor were attempting to assemble a block of shares in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding shares of equity stock or otherwise effect a change in control.
Certain tax and anti-takeover provisions of our charter and bylaws may inhibit a change of our control. Certain provisions contained in our charter and bylaws and the Maryland General Corporation Law may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or acquisition proposal to us. If this were to happen, it could delay, deter or prevent a change in control or the removal of existing management. These provisions also may delay or prevent our stockholders from receiving a premium for their common shares over then-prevailing market prices. These provisions include:
the REIT ownership limit described above;
special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president, a majority of the board or by stockholders possessing a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting;
our Board of Directors may authorize and issue securities without stockholder approval; and
advance-notice requirements for proposals to be presented at stockholder meetings.

In addition, Maryland law provides protection for Maryland corporations against unsolicited takeovers by limiting, among other things, the duties of the directors in unsolicited takeover situations and certain “business combinations” and “control share acquisitions.”  Our bylaws contain provisions exempting us from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act and the
12


Maryland Business Combination Act. Our bylaws prohibit the repeal, amendment or alteration of our Maryland Control Share Acquisition opt out without the approval by the Company’s stockholders; however, there can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at some time in the future.

The Company faces risks in attracting and retaining key personnel.  Many of our senior executives have strong industry reputations, which aid us in identifying acquisition and development opportunities and negotiating with tenants and sellers of properties.  The loss of the services of these key personnel could affect our operations because of diminished relationships with
13


existing and prospective tenants, property sellers and industry personnel.  In addition, attracting new or replacement personnel may be difficult in a competitive market.
 
We have severance and change in control agreements with certain of our officers that may deter changes in control of the Company.  If, within a certain time period (as set in the officer’s agreement) following a change in control, we terminate the officer'sofficer’s employment other than for cause, or if the officer elects to terminate his or her employment with us for reasons specified in the agreement, we will make a severance payment equal to the officer'sofficer’s average annual compensation times an amount specified in the officer'sofficer’s agreement, together with the officer'sofficer’s base salary and vacation pay that have accrued but are unpaid through the date of termination.  These agreements may deter a change in control because of the increased cost for a third party to acquire control of us.

We rely on information technology in our operations, and any material failure, inadequacy, interruption or security failurecyber-attack of that technology could harm our business. We rely on information technology networks and systems, including the internet, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes, including financial transactions and records, and maintainingto maintain personal identifying information and customer and lease data. We purchase some of our information technology from vendors, on whom our systems depend. We rely on commercially available systems, software, tools and monitoring to provide security for the processing, transmission and storage of data relating to our business operations (including our financial transactions and records) and confidential customer data including(including individually identifiable information relating to financial accounts.accounts). Although we have taken steps to protect the security of our information systems and the data maintained in those systems, it is possible that our safety and security measures will not prevent the systems'systems’ improper functioning or damage, or the improper access or disclosure of our business operations or personally identifiable information such as in the event of cyber-attacks. Security breaches, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, phishing or spoofing attacks by hackers and similar breaches, can create system disruptions, shutdowns, misappropriation of assets or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In some cases, it may be difficult to anticipate or immediately detect such incidents and the damage they cause. Any failure to maintain proper function, security and availability of our information systems could interrupt our operations, damage our reputation, subject us to liability claims or regulatory penalties and could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

We may be impacted by changes in U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or laws and policies. Any changes to U.S. tax laws, foreign trade, manufacturing, and development and investment in the territories and countries where our customers operate could adversely affect our operating results and our business.

Pandemics, such as COVID-19, and mitigation efforts to control theits spread of such disease have impacted and are expected tomay continue to impact our business. Our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows could be adversely affected by factors relating to such pandemics. In March 2020,The COVID-19 pandemic, including the World Health Organization characterizedongoing emergence of viral variants, has caused and could continue to cause widespread disruptions to the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. The United States, where EastGroup’s properties are located,U.S. and global economy and has experiencedcontributed to significant volatility and is continuing to experience widespread infection, and there is uncertainty regarding how long the pandemic will impact the United States and the rest of the world. Unprecedented, extraordinarynegative pressure in financial markets. Extraordinary actions have been taken by businesses and by federal, state and local governmental authorities to combat the spread of COVID-19, including issuance of “stay-at-home” directives and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations. These measures, while intended to protect human life, have led to, and may continue to lead to, reduced economic activity in certain sectors and an increase in unemployment throughout the United States, including in some markets where our properties are located. As a result, there has been, and may continue to be, a period of economic slowdown, the severity and duration of which remains uncertain. Such economic slowdown, among other disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact our

Our financial condition, and results of operations and the financial condition and results of operations ofcash flows are affected by our tenants.

Our ability to lease our properties and collect rental revenues, and expense reimbursements is dependent upon national, regional and local economic conditions. The potential inability to renew our leases or lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire on favorable terms, or at all, could cause a decline in our receipt of rental payments. We have been in communication with a portion of our customer base regardingand the COVID-19 pandemic and have previously received rent relief requests from a number of our customers. Although we may in the future receive additional rent relief requests, they have largely ended. We have granted rent relief requests from certain of our customers and denied other requests, and we may or may not grant such
13


future requests from our customers. Granting rent relief could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Some of our customers are experiencing a deterioration in their financial position, results of operations and cash flows; as a result, some have been unable to pay their rent and expense reimbursements. To date, this has had an immaterial impact on our rent collections. However, if our customers continue to experience such deterioration, this could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Federal, state and local government restrictions associated with the mitigation efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 could prevent our customers from accessing their leased space and operating their businesses; such restrictions could also impact our ability to operate our business, which may cause the business and operating results to decline or impact our ability to comply with regulatory obligations leading to reputational harm and regulatory issues or fines. Such restrictions could also inhibit our ability to lease vacant space in our operating portfolio and our development and value-add program. In addition, government restrictions could prevent construction of tenant improvements and development projects, which could delay construction completion and lease commencement dates. In each case, we may experience an adverse impact on our financial condition and results of operations.
The economic uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic has caused and may continue to cause disruption and instability in the financial markets and may impact our ability to raise capital from debt and equity markets on favorable terms or at all.
The health and well-being of our customers, employees directors and other stakeholders, isall of great importancewhich could be adversely affected by COVID-19 or other pandemics.In addition, to us. We are striving to accommodate flexible working arrangements to ensure the health and safety of our team, while continuing to perform our job duties and provide services to our customers and other stakeholders. There are risks associated with remote working arrangements, including, but not limited to, risks related to cyber-security. We are continuing to monitor and adhere to federal, state and local government guidelines regarding our work arrangements with the goal of preventing the spread of COVID-19 to our workforce, our customers and our communities. There are risks and uncertainties related to the health of our employees and directors; any potential deterioration of the health of key personnel could impact our business operations.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the current economic, financial and capital markets environment present material risks and uncertainties for us. However, the rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, which will depend largely on future developments directly or indirectly relating to the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely affects our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'SMANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW
EastGroup’s goal is to maximize shareholder value by being a leading provider in its markets of functional, flexible and quality business distribution space for location-sensitive customers (primarily in the 15,000 to 70,000 square foot range).  The Company develops, acquires and operates distribution facilities, the majority of which are clustered around major transportation features in supply-constrained submarkets in major Sunbelt regions.  The Company’s core markets are in the states of Florida, Texas, Arizona, California and North Carolina.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the COVID-19 outbreak as a pandemic. Global, national and local economies continue to be impacted by the pandemic and the mitigation efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19.

During the course of theThe COVID-19 pandemic the United States has experienced, and may continue to experience, significant health, social and economic impacts from COVID-19.not had a materially disruptive effect on EastGroup’s operations, occupancy andor rent collections have remained substantially stable during this period. As of February 16, 2021, the Company has received rent relief requests, primarily in the form of payment deferral requests, from approximately 28% of its customers based on rental revenue. These requests have largely ended; for comparison, this is only a slight increase from 26% at the end of April 2020 during the beginning of the pandemic. To date, approximately 18% of these requests have been granted some form of relief, which represents approximately 5% of the Company’s customers on a square foot basis. The Company has executed rent deferral agreements totaling $1.7 million, which represents approximately 0.4% of the Company’s 2020 revenue. The deferrals all relate to 2020 rental income with no future period deferred rents. The terms differ for each deferral agreement, and all deferred rent payments that were due through December 31, 2020 have been collected with the exception of $27,000. As of February 16, 2021, 59% of total deferred rent has been collected. Under modified COVID-19-related guidance provided by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), rental income for the majority of these deferral agreements ($1.4 million of the $1.7 million) qualifies to be recognized as rental income in the periods in which it was charged under the original terms of the leases. When requests were made, they were handled on a case-by-case basis, and the Company’s responses were dependent on its understanding of the financial strength of the customer, the operational and earnings impacts being experienced by the customer, and the customer’s ability or inability to obtain capital through debt or equity issuances, government assistance programs or by other means. As of February 16, 2021, rent payment deferrals representing approximately 0.4% of the Company's 2020 revenue have not been significant; the Company is continuing to actively monitor the evolving COVID-19 situation and its impact on the Company’s cash flows and operations.

We believe EastGroup’s financial condition and balance sheet remain strong. As of December 31, 2020, the outstanding balance on the Company’s $395 million unsecured revolving credit facilities was $125 million, providing $270 million of available capacity. During 2020,date. However, EastGroup has only drawn amounts on its unsecured revolving credit facilities for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business. The Company is in compliance with its debt covenants at December 31, 2020 and anticipates remaining in compliance for the foreseeable future. The Company’s recent debt and equity activity is further described under Liquidity and Capital Resources.
The Company has been continuing construction on already-active development and value-add projects. During the second and third quarters of 2020, EastGroup did not begin construction on any new development projects. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company started construction on three new development projects. Management will continue to monitor the economic conditions of the Company’s markets to determine whether to begin construction on additional future development projects.

The future impacts of COVID-19 on the Company are largely dependent oncannot predict the severity and duration of the economic uncertainty related to the pandemic, and itsthe pandemic’s effect on EastGroup’s customers and on the Company’s business, future financial condition and operating results cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.time. We have received a limited number of, and may in the future receive additional, rent relief requests from our tenants. As of December 31, 2021, we do not believe that these rent relief requests will have a material impact on our rental revenues. The discussions below, including without limitation with respect to liquidity, are subject to the future effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related actions to curb its spread, which continue to evolve.

During 2020,2021, EastGroup issued 709,9241,551,181 shares of common stock through its continuous common equity offering program, providing net proceeds to the Company of $92.7$271.2 million. Also during 2020,2021, the Company closed on a private placement of $175 million of senior unsecured notes with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.65% and a $100$50 million senior unsecured term loan with an effective fixed interest rate of 2.39%1.55% and the private placement of $125 million of senior unsecured notes with a fixed interest rate of 2.74%. EastGroup'sThe Company amended and restated its two unsecured bank credit facilities on June 29, 2021, expanding the capacity from $350 million and $45 million to $425 million and $50 million, respectively, and extending the maturity dates from July 30, 2022 to July 30, 2025. EastGroup’s financing and equity issuances are further described in Liquidity and Capital Resources.below.

The Company’s primary revenue is rental income.  During 2020,2021, EastGroup executed leases on 8,118,0009,789,000 square feet (18.5%of operating properties (20.8% of EastGroup’s total square footage of 43,854,00047,019,000 as of December 31, 2020)2021). For new and renewal leases signed during 2020,2021, average rental rates increased by 21.7%31.2% as compared to the former leases on the same spaces.  

Property Net Operating Income (“PNOI”) Excluding Income from Lease Terminations from same properties (defined as operating properties owned during the entire current and prior year reporting periods – January 1, 20192020 through December 31, 2020)2021), increased 2.1%6.8% for 20202021 compared to 2019.2020.

EastGroup’s operating portfolio was 98.0%98.7% leased at December 31, 20202021 compared to 97.6%98.0% at December 31, 2019.2020.  As of February 16, 2021,15, 2022, the operating portfolio was 97.9%98.1% leased and 96.7%97.1% occupied. Leases scheduled to expire in 20212022 were 14.9%13.1% of the operating portfolio on a square foot basis at December 31, 2020,2021, and this percentage was reduced to 12.2%10.7% as of February 16, 2021.15, 2022.

The Company generates new sources of leasing revenue through its development and acquisition programs.  The Company mitigates risks associated with development through a Board-approved maximum level of land held for development and by adjusting development start dates according to leasing activity.  

During 2020,2021, EastGroup acquired 509,0001,806,000 square feet of operating and value-add properties in Atlanta, Dallas, Austin, Phoenix, San Diego, Greenville and Los AngelesAtlanta and 232.6365.8 acres of land in Orlando, Fort Myers,Austin, Houston, Charlotte, Greenville and Atlanta Dallas and El Paso for a total of $122.2$320.3 million. The Company began construction of 517 development projects containing 851,0002,806,000 square feet in Miami, Fort Myers, Charlotte, Dallas and Phoenix.12 cities. Also in 2020,2021, the Company transferred 1817 development and value-add properties (2,360,000(2,688,000 square feet) in Tampa, Miami, Orlando, Fort Myers, Charlotte, Dallas, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, Las Vegas and San Diego10 cities from its development and value-add program to real estate properties with costs of $249.4$272.3 million at the date of transfer. As of December 31, 2020, EastGroup's2021, EastGroup’s development and value-add program consisted of 1621 projects (2,741,000(3,905,000 square feet) located in 1014 cities.  The projected total cost for the development and value-add projects, which were collectively 35%49% leased as of February 16, 2021,15, 2022, is $291.5$524.7 million, of which $65.5$148.1 million remained to be invested as of December 31, 2020.2021.

During 2020,2021, EastGroup sold 126,000an operating property containing 284,000 square feet, of operating properties, generating gross sales proceeds of $21.0$45.1 million. The Company recognized $13.1$38.9 million in Gain on sales of real estate investments during 2020.2021.

The Company typically initially funds its development and acquisition programs through its $395 million unsecured bank credit facilities, the total capacity of which was increased in June 2021 to $475 million (as discussed below underin Liquidity and Capital Resources).  As market conditions permit, EastGroup issues equity and/or employs fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, to replace short-term bank borrowings. In June 2019, Moody's Investors Service affirmedhas assigned the Company'sCompany’s issuer rating of Baa2 with a stable outlook. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. For future debt issuances, the Company intends to issue primarily unsecured fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps. The Company may also access the public debt market in the future as a means to raise capital.

EastGroup has one reportable segment – industrial properties.  The Company's properties, primarily located in major Sunbelt regionsconsistent with the Company’s manner of internal reporting, measurement of operating results and allocation of the United States, have similar economic characteristics and as a result, have been aggregated into one reportable segment.

Company’s resources. The Company’s chief decision makers use two primary measures of operating results in making decisions: (1) funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO”), and (2) property net operating income (“PNOI”).

FFO is computed in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“Nareit”). In December 2018, Nareit issued the “Nareit Funds from Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement” (the “2018 White Paper”), which reaffirmed, and in some cases refined, Nareit's prior determinations concerning FFO. TheNareit’s guidance in the 2018 White Paper allows preparers an option as it pertains to whether gains or losses on sale, or impairment charges, on real estate assets incidental to a REIT'sREIT’s business are excluded from the calculation of FFO. EastGroup has made the election to exclude activity related to such assets that are incidental to our business. In 2019, the Company revised prior periods to reflect this guidance.

FFO is calculated as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate property (including other assets incidental to the Company’s business) and impairment losses, adjusted for real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is not considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company’s financial performance, nor is it a measure of the Company’s liquidity or indicative of funds available to provide for the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions.  The Company’s key drivers affecting FFO are changes in PNOI (as discussed below), interest rates, the amount of leverage the Company employs and general and administrative expenses.  

PNOI is defined as Income from real estate operations less Expenses from real estate operations (including market-based internal management fee expense) plus the Company’s share of income and property operating expenses from its less-than-wholly-owned real estate investments.

20


EastGroup sometimes refers to PNOI from Same Properties as “Same PNOI”; the Company also presents Same PNOI Excluding Income from Lease Terminations. Same Properties is defined as operating properties owned during the entire current period and prior year reporting period. Properties developed or acquired are excluded until held in the operating portfolio for both the current and prior year reporting periods. Properties sold during the current or prior year reporting periods are also excluded. For the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, Same Properties includes properties which were included in the operating portfolio for the entire period from January 1, 20192020 through December 31, 2020.2021. The Company presents Same PNOI and Same PNOI Excluding Income from Lease Terminations as a property-level supplemental measure of performance used to evaluate the performance of the Company’s investments in real estate assets and its operating results on a same property basis. It is calculated on a lease-by-lease basis by averaging the customers’ rent payments over the life of each individual lease.

FFO and PNOI are supplemental industry reporting measurements used to evaluate the performance of the Company’s investments in real estate assets and its operating results. The Company believes that the exclusion of depreciation and amortization in the industry’s calculations of PNOI and FFO provides supplemental indicators of the properties’ performance since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions.  PNOI and FFO as calculated by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled but differently calculated measures for other real estate investment trusts (“REITs”).  Investors should be aware that items excluded from or added back to FFO are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance. These non-GAAP figures should not be considered a substitute for, and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to, the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

Income from real estate operations is comprised of rental income, net of reserves for uncollectible rent, expense reimbursement pass-through income and other real estate income including lease termination fees.  Expenses from real estate operations is comprised of property taxes, insurance, utilities, repair and maintenance expenses, management fees and other operating costs.  Generally, the Company’s most significant operating expenses are property taxes and insurance.  Tenant leases may be net leases in which the total operating expenses are recoverable, modified gross leases in which some of the operating expenses are recoverable, or gross leases in which no expenses are recoverable (gross leases represent only a small portion of the Company’s total leases).  Increases in property operating expenses are fully recoverable under net leases and recoverable to a high degree under modified gross leases.  Modified gross leases often include base year amounts, and expense increases over these amounts are recoverable.  The Company’s exposure to property operating expenses is primarily due to vacancies and leases for occupied space that limit the amount of expenses that can be recovered.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s management considers the following accounting policies and estimates to be critical to the reported operations of the Company.

Acquisition and Development of Real Estate Properties

The FASBFinancial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Codification provides guidance on how to properly determine the allocation of the purchase price among the individual components of both the tangible and intangible assets based on their relativerespective fair values.  Goodwill for business combinations is recorded when the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired.  Factors considered by management in allocating the cost of the properties acquired include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.  The allocation to tangible assets (land, building and improvements) is based upon management’s determination of the value of the property as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow models. Land is valued using comparable land sales specific to the applicable market, provided by a third-party.third party. The Company determines whether any financing assumed is above or below market based upon comparison to similar financing terms for similar properties.  The cost of the properties acquired may be adjusted based on indebtedness assumed from the seller that is determined to be above or below market rates.  

The purchase price is also allocated among the following categories of intangible assets:  the above or below market component of in-place leases, the value of in-place leases and the value of customer relationships.  The value allocable to the above or below market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (ii) management’s estimate of the amounts that would be paid using current market rents over the remaining term of the lease.  The amounts allocated to above and below market leaseslease intangibles are included in Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The total amount of intangible assets is further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship values based upon management’s assessment of their respective values.  These intangible assets are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized over the remaining term of the existing lease, or the anticipated life of the customer relationship, as applicable.

The relevancesignificance of this accounting policy will fluctuate given the transaction activity during the period.

For properties under development and value-add properties acquired in the development stage, costs associated with development (i.e., land, construction costs, interest expense, property taxes and other costs associated with development) are aggregated into the total capitalized costs of the property.  Included in these costs are management’s estimates for the portions of internal costs (primarily personnel costs) deemed related to such development activities. The internal costs are allocated to specific development projects based on development activity.

Real Estate Sold and Held for Sale/Discontinued OperationsSale
The Company considers a real estate property to be held for sale when it meets the criteria established under ASCAccounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, including when it is probable that the property will be sold within a year.  Real estate properties held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell and are not depreciated while they are held for sale.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company owned one operating property, Metro Business Park, that was classified as held for sale on the December 31, 2021 Consolidated Balance Sheet. The property was sold in the first quarter of 2022, and the Company expects to record a gain on the sale in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company did not classify any properties as held for sale as of December 31, 2020 and 2019.2020.  

In accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, the Company would report a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity'sentity’s operations and financial results when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or when the component or group of components is disposed of by sale or other than by sale. In addition, the Company would provide additional disclosures about both discontinued operations and the disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements. EastGroup performs an analysis of properties sold to determine whether the sales qualify for discontinued operations presentation.

The Company does not consider its sales in 20192020 and 20202021, or the property classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2021, to be disposals of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity'sentity’s operations and financial results.

In 2021, EastGroup sold Jetport Commerce Park, an operating property in Tampa with 284,000 square feet. The property was sold for $45.1 million and the Company recognized a gain on the sale of $38.9 million.

In 2020, EastGroup sold the following operating properties during 2020:properties: University Business Center 120 in Santa Barbara and Central Green in Houston. The properties (126,000 square feet combined) were sold for $21.0 million and the Company recognized gains on the sales of $13.1 million.

In 2019, EastGroup sold the following operating properties: World Houston 5 in Houston, Altamonte Commerce Center in Orlando, Southpointe Distribution Center in Tucson and three of its four University Business Center buildings in Santa Barbara, California. The properties (617,000 square feet combined) were sold for $68.5 million and the Company recognized gains on the sales of $41.1 million. The Company also sold (through eminent domain procedures) a small parcel ofdid not sell any land (0.2 acres) adjacent to its Siempre Viva Distribution Center 1 in San Diego for $185,000during the years ended December 31, 2021 and the Company recognized a gain on the sale of $83,000.2020.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

EastGroup has evaluated all ASUs recently released by the FASB through the date the financial statements were issued and determined that the following ASUs applyASU applies to the Company.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and subsequently issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses in November 2018. The ASUs amend guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost, Topic 326 eliminates the probable initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. For available for sale debt securities (EastGroup does not currently hold any and does not intend to hold any in the future), credit losses should be measured in a similar manner to current GAAP; however, Topic 326 requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than a write-down. The ASUs affect entities holding financial assets and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU
34


2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 on January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or disclosures.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU is intended to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or disclosures.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash provided by operating activities was $196,285,000$256,492,000 for the year ended December 31, 2020.2021.  The primary other sources of cash were from borrowings on unsecured bank credit facilities; proceeds from unsecured debt; proceeds from common stock offerings; and net proceeds from sales of real estate investments.  The Company distributed $119,765,000$131,759,000 in common stock dividends during 2020.2021.  Other primary uses of cash were for repayments on unsecured bank credit facilities, unsecured debt and secured debt; the construction and development of properties; purchases of real estate; and capital improvements at various properties.

Total debt at December 31, 2020properties; and 2019 is detailed below.  The Company’s unsecured bank credit facilities and unsecured debt instruments have certain restrictive covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios and maintaining insurance coverage, and the Company was in compliance with all of its debt covenants at December 31, 2020 and 2019.

(1)These loans have a fixed interest rate or an effectively fixed interest rate due to interest rate swaps.

The Company has a $350 million unsecured bank credit facility with a group of nine banks; the facility has a maturity date of July 30, 2022. The credit facility contains options for two six-month extensions (at the Company's election) and a $150 million accordion (with agreement by all parties). The interest rate on each tranche is usually reset on a monthly basis and as of
35


December 31, 2020, was LIBOR plus 100 basis points with an annual facility fee of 20 basis points. The margin and facility fee are subject to changes in the Company's credit ratings. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had $125,000,000 of variable rate borrowings outstanding on this unsecured  bank credit facility with a weighted average interest rate of 1.152%. The Company has a standby letter of credit of $674,000 pledged on this facility.

The Company also has a $45 million unsecured bank credit facility with a maturity date of July 30, 2022, or such later date as designated by the bank; the Company also has two six-month extensions available if the extension options in the $350 million facility are exercised. The interest rate is reset on a daily basis and as of December 31, 2020, was LIBOR plus 100 basis points with an annual facility fee of 20 basis points. The margin and facility fee are subject to changes in the Company's credit ratings. As of December 31, 2020, the interest rate was 1.144% with no outstanding balance.

As market conditions permit, EastGroup issues equity and/or employs fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, to replace the short-term bank borrowings.  The Company believes its current operating cash flow and unsecured bank credit facilities provide the capacity to fund the operations of the Company.  The Company also believes it can obtain debt financing and issue common and/or preferred equity. For future debt issuances, the Company intends to issue primarily unsecured fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps. The Company may also access the public debt market in the future as a means to raise capital.

In March 2020, the Company closed a $100 million senior unsecured term loan with a seven-year term and interest only payments. It bears interest at the annual rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin (1.45% as of December 31, 2020) based on the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt rating. The Company also entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert the loan’s LIBOR rate component to a fixed interest rate for the entire term of the loan providing a total effective fixed interest rate of 2.39%.

In July 2020, the Company and a group of lenders agreed to terms on the private placement of $175 million of senior unsecured notes with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.65%. The $100 million note has a 10-year term and a fixed interest rate of 2.61%, and the $75 million note has a 12-year term and a fixed interest rate of 2.71%. These maturity dates complement the Company's existing debt maturity schedule. The notes dated August 17, 2020, were issued and sold on October 14, 2020 and require interest-only payments. The notes will not be and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

In August 2020, the Company made a required $30 million principal repayment on $100 million of senior unsecured notes with a fixed interest rate of 3.80%.

In October 2020, EastGroup repaid (with no penalty) a mortgage loan with a balance of $45.9 million, an interest rate of 4.39% and an original maturity date of January 5, 2021.

In December 2020, the Company repaid a $75 million unsecured term loan at maturity with an effectively fixed interest rate of 3.45%.
In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulates LIBOR announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from USD-LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry wide and company specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to USD-LIBOR. In November 2020, the Intercontinental Exchange (“ICE”) Benchmark Administration Limited (“IBA”), the administrator of LIBOR, announced that it would consult on its intention to cease the publication of the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR settings immediately following December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings immediately following the LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023.

The Company is not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or when there will be sufficient liquidity in the SOFR markets. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, our interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form.

36


The Company’s unsecured bank credit facilities, senior unsecured term loans and interest rate swap contracts are indexed to LIBOR.  The Company is continuously monitoring and evaluating the related risks, which include interest on loans and amounts received and paid on derivative instruments. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued as interest rates may be adversely affected.  While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until the end of 2021, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator.  In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

Each of the Company’s contracts, which are indexed to LIBOR, include provisions for a replacement rate which will be substantially equivalent to the all-in LIBOR-based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement.  Therefore, the Company believes the transition will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.   

On December 20, 2019, EastGroup entered into sales agreements with each of BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC; BofA Securities, Inc.; BTIG, LLC; Jefferies LLC; Raymond James & Associates, Inc.; Regions Securities LLC; and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC in connection with the establishment of a continuous common equity offering program pursuant to which the Company may sell shares of its common stock with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $750,000,000 from time to time in transactions that are deemed to be "at the market" offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or certain other transactions (the “ATM Program”). As of February 17, 2021, the Company sold an aggregate of 709,924 shares of common stock with gross proceeds of $93,938,000 under the ATM Program; therefore, under the ATM Program, EastGroup may offer and sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $656,062,000 through the sales agents.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, EastGroup issued and sold 709,924 shares of common stock under its ATM Program at an average price of $132.32 per share with gross proceeds to the Company of $93,938,000. The Company incurred offering-related costs of $1,275,000 during the year, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $92,663,000.

(1)These amounts are included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets net of unamortized debt issuance costs.
(2)The Company’s balances under its unsecured bank credit facilities change depending on the Company’s cash needs and, as such, both the principal amounts and the interest rates are subject to variability.  At December 31, 2020, the weighted average interest rate was 1.152% on the $125,000,000 of variable rate debt that matures in July 2022. The $350 million unsecured credit facility has options for two six-month extensions (at the Company's election) and a $150 million accordion (with agreement by all parties). The $45 million unsecured credit facility automatically extends for two six-month terms if the extension options in the $350 million revolving facility are exercised. As of December 31, 2020, the interest rate on the $350 million facility was LIBOR plus 100 basis points (weighted average interest rate of 1.152%) with an annual facility fee of 20 basis points, and the interest rate on the $45 million facility, which resets on a daily basis, was LIBOR plus 100 basis points (1.144%) with an annual facility fee of 20 basis points.

The Company expects liquidity sources and needs in future years to be consistent in nature with those for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Off-Balance Sheet ArrangementsAs of December 31, 2021, the Company was contractually obligated to pay the dividend declared in December 2021, which was paid in January 2022. An amount for dividends payable of $46,864,000 was included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2021, which includes dividends payable on unvested restricted stock of $1,585,000, which are subject to continued service and will be paid upon vesting in future periods.

(2) These loans have a fixed interest rate or an effectively fixed interest rate due to interest rate swaps.
(3) As of December 31, 2021, obligations due in less than one year include maturing principal balances of $75,000,000 and interest of $36,776,000; remaining principal balances maturing in greater than one year include $1,170,000,000 and interest of $179,019,000.

Until June 29, 2021, EastGroup had $350 million and $45 million unsecured bank credit facilities with margins over LIBOR of 100 basis points, facility fees of 20 basis points and maturity dates of July 30, 2022. The Company amended and restated these credit facilities on June 29, 2021, expanding their capacities to $425 million and $50 million, respectively, as detailed below.

The Company’s $425 million unsecured bank credit facility is with a group of nine banks and has a maturity date of July 30, 2025. The credit facility contains options for two six-month extensions (at the Company’s election) and a $325 million accordion (with agreement by all parties). The interest rate on each tranche is usually reset on a monthly basis and as of December 31, 2021, was LIBOR plus 77.5 basis points with an annual facility fee of 15 basis points. As of December 31, 2021, the Company had $183,000,000 of variable rate borrowings on this unsecured bank credit facility with a weighted average interest rate of 0.875%. The Company has a standby letter of credit of $674,000 pledged on this facility.

The Company’s $50 million unsecured bank credit facility has a maturity date of July 30, 2025, or such later date as designated by the bank; the Company also has two six-month extensions available if the extension options in the $425 million facility are exercised. The interest rate is reset on a daily basis and as of December 31, 2021, was LIBOR plus 77.5 basis points with an annual facility fee of 15 basis points. As of December 31, 2021, the interest rate was 0.876% on a balance of $26,210,000.

For both facilities, the margin and facility fee are subject to changes in the Company’s credit ratings. Although the Company’s current credit rating is Baa2, given the strength of the Company’s key credit metrics, initial pricing for the credit facilities is based on the BBB+/Baa1 credit ratings level. This favorable pricing level will be retained provided that the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the applicable agreements, remains less than 32.5%. The facilities also include a sustainability-linked pricing component pursuant to which the applicable interest margin will be reduced by one basis point if the Company meets certain sustainability performance targets.

As market conditions permit, EastGroup issues equity and/or employs fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, to replace the short-term bank borrowings.  The Company believes its current operating cash flow and unsecured bank credit facilities provide the capacity to fund the operations of the Company.  The Company also believes it can obtain debt financing and issue common and/or preferred equity.
34


For future debt issuances, the Company intends to issue primarily unsecured fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps. The Company may also access the public debt market in the future as a means to raise capital.

In March 2021, the Company closed a $50 million senior unsecured term loan with a four-year term and interest only payments, which bears interest at the annual rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin (1.00% as of each of December 31, 2021 and February 15, 2022) based on the Company’s senior unsecured long-term debt rating. The Company also entered into an interest rate swap agreement to convert the loan’s LIBOR rate component to a fixed interest rate for the entire term of the loan providing a total effective fixed interest rate of 1.55%.

Also in March 2021, EastGroup repaid (with no penalty) a mortgage loan with a balance of $40.8 million, an interest rate of 4.75% and an original maturity date of June 5, 2021.

In June 2021, the Company closed on the private placement of $125 million of senior unsecured notes with a fixed interest rate of 2.74% and a 10-year term. The notes, dated April 8, 2021, were issued and sold on June 10, 2021 and require interest-only payments. The notes will not be and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.

In July 2021, the Company repaid a maturing $40 million senior unsecured term loan with an effective interest rate of 2.34%.

In September 2021, the Company closed on the refinance of a $100 million senior unsecured term loan with five years remaining. The amended term loan provides for interest only payments currently at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 85 basis points, based on the Company’s current credit ratings and consolidated leverage ratio, which is a 65 basis point reduction in the credit spread compared to the original term loan. The Company has an interest rate swap agreement which converts the loan’s LIBOR rate component to a fixed interest rate for the entire term of the loan, providing a total effective fixed interest rate of 2.10%. The term loan also includes a sustainability-linked pricing component pursuant to which, if the Company meets certain sustainability performance targets, the applicable interest margin will be reduced by one basis point.

In October 2021, the Company repaid (with no penalty) a mortgage loan with a balance of $33.1 million, an interest rate of 4.09% and an original maturity date of January 5, 2022.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced it intended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. In March 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, announced its intention to cease publication of certain LIBOR settings after 2021, while continuing to publish overnight and one-, three-, six-, and twelve-month U.S. dollar LIBOR rates through June 30, 2023. While this announcement extended the transition period to June 2023, the United States Federal Reserve Board and other regulatory bodies concurrently issued guidance encouraging banks and other financial market participants to cease entering into new contracts that use U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practicable and in any event no later than December 31, 2021. In the U.S., the AARC, which was convened by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, has recommended that SOFR plus a recommended spread adjustment as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR. There are significant differences between LIBOR and SOFR, such as LIBOR being an unsecured lending rate while SOFR is a secured rate, and SOFR is an overnight rate while LIBOR reflects term rates at different maturities.

We expect that all LIBOR settings relevant to us will cease to be published or will no longer be representative after June 30, 2023. As a result, any of our LIBOR-based borrowings that extend beyond such date will need to be converted to a replacement rate. Certain risks may arise in connection with transitioning contracts to SOFR or any other alternative variable rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted. The Company’s unsecured bank credit facilities, senior unsecured term loans and interest rate swap contracts are indexed to LIBOR and include provisions for a replacement rate which we believe will be substantially equivalent to the all-in LIBOR-based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement.  Therefore, the Company believes the transition will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The Company is continuously monitoring and evaluating the related risks, which include interest on loans and amounts received and paid on derivative instruments. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued as interest rates may be adversely affected.  While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until June 30, 2023, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator.  In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

On December 20, 2019, EastGroup entered into sales agreements (the “December 2019 Sales Agreements”) with each of BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC; BofA Securities, Inc.; BTIG, LLC; Jefferies LLC; Raymond James & Associates, Inc.; Regions Securities LLC; and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC in connection with the establishment of a new continuous common equity offering program pursuant to which the Company may sell shares of its common stock with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $750,000,000 from time to time. On July 28, 2021, the Company entered into a sales agreement (together with the December 2019 Sales Agreements, the “Sales Agreements”) with TD Securities (USA) LLC, which is substantially similar to the December 2019 Sales Agreements, and entered into corresponding amendments to the December 2019 Sales Agreements to include TD Securities (USA) LLC as a participating sales agent. Pursuant to the Sales Agreements, the shares may be offered and sold in transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As of February 16, 2022, the Company has sold an aggregate of 2,261,105 shares of common stock with gross proceeds of $368,147,000 under the Sales Agreements, and EastGroup may offer and sell additional shares of its common stock with an aggregate gross sales price of up to $381,853,000 through the sales agents.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, EastGroup issued and sold 1,551,181 shares of common stock under its continuous common equity offering program at an average price of $176.77 per share with gross proceeds to the Company of $274,209,000. The Company incurred offering-related costs of $3,054,000 during the year, resulting in net proceeds to the Company of $271,155,000.

(2)Represents commitments on real estate properties, except for tenant improvement allowance obligations.
(3)Represents commitments on properties in the Company’s development and value-add program, except for tenant improvement allowance obligations.
(4)Represents tenant improvement allowance obligations.

The Company has no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.


INFLATION AND OTHER ECONOMIC CONSIDERATIONS

Most of the Company's leases include scheduled rent increases.  Additionally, most of the Company's leases require the tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses, including real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, thereby reducing the Company's exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation or other factors.  In the event
3836


inflation causes increases in the Company’s general and administrative expenses or the level of interest rates, such increased costs would not be passed through to tenants and could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

EastGroup's financial results are affected by general economic conditions in the markets in which the Company's properties are located.  The state of the economy, or other adverse changes in general or local economic conditions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or general economic conditions, could result in the inability of some of the Company's existing tenants to make lease payments and may therefore increase the reserves for uncollectible rent.  It may also impact the Company’s ability to (i) renew leases or re-lease space as leases expire, or (ii) lease development space.  In addition, an economic downturn or recession, including but not limited to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, could also lead to an increase in overall vacancy rates or a decline in rents the Company can charge to re-lease properties upon expiration of current leases.  In all of these cases, EastGroup’s cash flows would be adversely affected.


ITEM 7A.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its unsecured bank credit facilities and long-term debt maturities.  This debt is used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of the Company’s real estate investment portfolio and operations.  The Company’s objective for interest rate risk management is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. The Company has two variable rate unsecured bank credit facilities as discussed under the heading Liquidity and Capital Resources in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As market conditions permit, EastGroup issues equity and/or employs fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, to replace the short-term bank borrowings. The Company'sCompany’s interest rate swaps are discussed in Note 1312 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The table below presents the principal payments due and weighted average interest rates, which include the impact of interest rate swaps, for both the fixed rate and variable rate debt as of December 31, 2020.2021.

(1)The variable rate unsecured bank credit facilities mature in July 20222025 and as of December 31, 2020,2021, have balances of $125,000,000$183,000,000 on the $350$425 million unsecured bank credit facility and $0$26,210,000 on the $45$50 million unsecured bank credit facility.
(2)The fair value of the Company’s variable rate debt is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at current market rates, excluding the effects of debt issuance costs.
(3)Represents the weighted average interest rate for the Company'sCompany’s variable rate unsecured bank credit facilities as of December 31, 2020.2021.
(4)The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at the rates currently offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities, as advised by the Company’s bankers, excluding the effects of debt issuance costs.

As the table above incorporates only those exposures that existed as of December 31, 2020,2021, it does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date.  IfBased on the weighted average balance for the twelve months ended December 31, 2021, if the weighted average interest rate on the variable rate unsecured bank credit facilities as shown above, changes by 10%, or approximately 129 basis points, interest expense and cash flows would increase or decrease by approximately $144,000$184,000 annually. This does not include variable rate debt that has been effectively fixed through the use of interest rate swaps.

The Company’s unsecured bank credit facilities unsecured term loans, and related interest rate swaps are indexed to LIBOR. For a discussion of the risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR, see “Risk Factors—Financing Risks—The discontinuation of LIBOR and the replacement of LIBOR with an alternative reference rate may adversely affect our borrowing costs and could impact our business and results of operations” in Part I, Item 1A of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Most of the Company’s leases include scheduled rent increases.  Additionally, most of the Company’s leases require the tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses, including real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation or other factors.  In the event inflation causes increases in the Company’s general and administrative expenses or the level of interest rates, such increased costs would not be passed through to tenants and could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

EastGroup’s financial results are affected by general economic conditions in the markets in which the Company’s properties are located.  The state of the economy, or other adverse changes in general or local economic conditions resulting from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic or general economic conditions, could result in the inability of some of the Company’s existing tenants to
37


make lease payments and may therefore increase the reserves for uncollectible rent.  It may also impact the Company’s ability to (i) renew leases or re-lease space as leases expire, or (ii) lease development space.  In addition, an economic downturn or recession, including but not limited to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, could also lead to an increase in overall vacancy rates or a decline in rents the Company can charge to re-lease properties upon expiration of current leases.  In all of these cases, EastGroup’s cash flows would be adversely affected.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC.:

Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EastGroup Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020,2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020,2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 17, 202116, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Evaluation of the estimated fair value assigned to land in an asset acquisition

As discussed in Note 1(j) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired $76,518,000$279,225,000 of real estate properties and development and value-add properties during 20202021 that were accounted for as asset acquisitions, of which $23,565,000$42,554,000 of the total purchase price was allocated to land. The purchase price in an asset acquisition is allocated among the individual components of both the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their relative fair values.
We identified the evaluation of the estimated fair value of land as a critical audit matter. Specifically, evaluating the relevance of comparable land sales used in the Company’s determination of the estimated fair value involved subjective auditor judgment. Professionals with specialized skills and knowledge were required to evaluate the relevance of the comparable land sales.

4543


The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness over the Company'sCompany’s control to identify and selectreview identified publicly available comparable land sales within the Company’s processused to estimate fair value of land in an asset acquisition. We involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in evaluating the Company’s estimate of fair value of land by comparing to our independently established ranges of comparable land sales developed using publicly available market data.

MANAGEMENT REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

EastGroup’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f).  Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, EastGroup conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The design of any system of internal control over financial reporting is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.  Based on EastGroup’s evaluation under the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013), management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.2021.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

TO THE STOCKHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC.:


Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We have audited EastGroup Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries’ (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020,2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2020,2021, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 17, 202116, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

DECEMBER 31, 2021, 2020 2019 and 20182019

(1)SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(a)Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EastGroup Properties, Inc. (“EastGroup” or “the Company”), its wholly owned subsidiaries and its investment in any joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling interest.

As of December 31, 2018,2021 and 2020, EastGroup had an 80%held a controlling interest in University Business Center 120 and 130 through a joint venture partnership. During the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company, along with the noncontrolling interest partner, sold University Business Center 130 and as of December 31, 2019, EastGroup had an 80% controlling interest in University Business Center 120. During the fourth quarter of 2020, the Company sold its 80% controlling interest in University Business Center 120 and the joint venture partnership was dissolved.

Also during 2019, EastGroup entered into 2 joint venture arrangements. On May 31,In 2019, the Company acquired 6.5 acres of land in San Diego, known by the Company as the Miramar Land. In the second quarter of 2019, a joint venture was formed through which EastGroup owns a 95% controlling interestland. Also in this property.  Also, on December 31, 2019, the Company acquired 41.6 acres of land in San Diego, known by the Company as the Otay Mesa Land, withland. During the same noncontrolling interest partner withyear ended December 31, 2021, EastGroup owningbegan construction of a 99% controlling interest in519,000 square foot building on the property.

Otay Mesa land, known by the Company as Speed Distribution Center. As of both December 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, EastGroup had a 95% controlling interest in the Miramar Landland and a 99% controlling interest in the Otay Mesa Land.Speed Distribution Center.

The Company records 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the properties held in joint ventures with the noncontrolling interests provided for in accordance with the joint venture agreements. 

The equity method of accounting is used for the Company’s 50% undivided tenant-in-common interest in Industry Distribution Center II.  All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.

(b)Income Taxes
EastGroup, a Maryland corporation, has qualified as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code and intends to continue to qualify as such.  To maintain its status as a REIT, the Company is required to, among other things, distribute at least 90% of its ordinary taxable income to its stockholders.  If the Company has a capital gain, it has the option of (i) deferring recognition of the capital gain through a tax-deferred exchange, (ii) declaring and paying a capital gain dividend on any recognized net capital gain resulting in no corporate level tax, or (iii) retaining and paying corporate income tax on its net long-term capital gain, with the shareholders reporting their proportional share of the undistributed long-term capital gain and receiving a credit or refund of their share of the tax paid by the Company.  The Company distributed all of its 2021, 2020 2019 and 20182019 taxable income to its stockholders.  Accordingly, no significant provisions for income taxes were necessary.  The Company’s income tax treatment of share distributions is based on its taxable income, calculated in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, which differs from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The following table summarizes the federal income tax treatment for all distributions by the Company for the years ended 2021, 2020 2019 and 2018.2019.

EastGroup applies the principles of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)“FASB” Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”)“ASC” 740, Income Taxes, when evaluating and accounting for uncertainty in income taxes.  With few exceptions, the Company’s 20162017 and earlier tax years are closed for examination by U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities.  In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, the Company had no significant uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 20202021 and 2019.2020.

EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The Company’s income may differ for tax and financial reporting purposes principally because of (i) the timing of the deduction for the provision for possible losses and losses on investments, (ii) the timing of the recognition of gains or losses from the sale of investments, (iii) different income recognition methods for rental income, (iv) different depreciation methods and lives, (v) real estate properties having a different basis for tax and financial reporting purposes, (vi) mortgage loans having a different basis for tax and financial reporting purposes, thereby producing different gains upon collection of these loans, and (vii) differences in book and tax allowances and timing for stock-based compensation expense.

(c)Income Recognition
The Company’s primary revenue is rental income from business distribution space. Minimum rental income from real estate operations is recognized on a straight-line basis.  The straight-line rent calculation on leases includes the effects of rent concessions and scheduled rent increases, and the calculated straight-line rent income is recognized over the lives of the individual leases.  The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts receivable, including straight-line rents receivable, based upon estimates determined by management.  Management specifically analyzes aged receivables, customer credit-worthinesscredit-

worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. Reserves for uncollectible accounts are recorded as a reduction to revenue. Revenue is recognized on payments received from tenants for early terminations after all criteria have been met in accordance with ASC 840, Leases, prior to January 1, 2019, and in accordance with ASC 842, Leases, subsequently.Leases.

In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and in subsequent periods, issued ASU 2018-10, 2018-11, and 2018-20, all of which relate to the new lease accounting guidance. The Company adopted the new lease accounting guidance effective January 1, 2019, and has applied its provisions on a prospective basis. Lessor accounting is largely unchanged under ASU 2016-02. The Company’s primary revenue is rental income; as such, the Company is a lessor on a significant number of leases. Effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASC 842, Leases, and applied its provisions on a prospective basis. The Company is continuingcontinued to account for its leases in substantially the same manner. The most significant changes for the Company related to lessor accounting include: (i) the new standard’s narrow definition of initial direct costs for leases, and (ii) the guidance applicable to recording uncollectible rents, as discussed in the following paragraphs.

The new standard’s narrow definition of initialInitial direct costs for leases — The new definition of initial direct costs results in certain costs (primarily legal costs related to lease negotiations) beingare expensed rather than capitalized upon adoption of the new standard.capitalized. EastGroup recorded Indirect leasing costs of $700,000, $661,000 and $411,000 on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

The guidance applicable to recording uncollectible rentsAs permitted by ASC 842, — Upon adoption of the lease accounting guidance, reserves for uncollectible accounts are recorded as a reduction to revenue. Prior to adoption, reserves for uncollectible accounts were recorded as bad debt expenses. The standard also provides guidance related to calculating the reserves; however, those changes did not impact the Company.Leases

, EastGroup elected the practical expedient permitting lessors to makemade an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not separate non-lease components (such as common area maintenance) of a contract from the lease component to which they relate when specific criteria are met. The Company believes its leases meet the criteria.

The Company has applied the provisions of the new lease accounting standard and provided the required disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

The table below presents the components of Income from real estate operations for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019:

In April 2020, the FASB issued FASB Staff Question-and-Answer (“Q&A”)-Topic 842 and Topic 840: Accounting for Lease Concessions Related to the Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic to clarify whether lease concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic require the application of lease modification guidance under FASB ASC 842, Leases. Under ASC 842,

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

an entity must determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant, which would be accounted for under the lease modification framework, or if the lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations that existed in the original lease, which would be accounted for outside the lease modification framework. The Q&A provides a practical expedient for entities to make an election to account for certain lease concessions consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for outside of the lease modification framework. This election is available for concessions related to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. The FASB staff provided two possible methods to account for deferral of payments with no substantive changes to the consideration in the original contract: (a) account for the concessions as if no changes to the lease contract were made and, (b) account for the deferred payments as variable lease payments. The Company has elected the practical expedient provided by the FASB staff and is accounting for lease concessions meeting the criterion as if no changes to the lease contract were made. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company recognized approximately $1,483,000 in Income from real estate operations from lease concessions under this election.

Future Minimum Rental Receipts Under Non-Cancelable Leases
The Company’s leases with its customers may include various provisions such as scheduled rent increases, renewal options and termination options. The majority of the Company’s leases include defined rent increases rather than variable payments based on an index or unknown rate. In calculating the disclosures presented below, the Company included the fixed, non-cancelable terms of the leases. The following schedule indicates approximate future minimum rental receipts under non-cancelable leases for real estate properties by year as of December 31, 2020:2021:

The Company recognizes gains on sales of real estate in accordance with the principles set forth in the Codification. For each transaction, the Company evaluates whether the guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 610, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, is applicable. Upon closing of real estate transactions, the provisions of the Codification require consideration of whether the seller has a controlling financial interest in the entity that holds the nonfinancial asset after the transaction. In addition, the seller evaluates whether a contract exists under ASC 606 and whether the counterparty obtained control of each nonfinancial asset that is sold. If a contract exists and the counterparty obtained control of each nonfinancial asset, the seller derecognizes the assets at the close of the transaction with resulting gains or losses reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

The Company recognizes interest income on mortgage loans on the accrual method unless a significant uncertainty of collection exists.  If a significant uncertainty exists, interest income is recognized as collected.  If applicable, discounts on mortgage loans receivable are amortized over the lives of the loans using a method that does not differ materially from the interest method.  The Company evaluates the collectibility of both interest and principal on each of its loans to determine whether the loans are impaired.  A loan is considered to be impaired when, based on current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms.  When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value determined by discounting the expected future cash flows at the loan’s effective interest rate or to the fair value of the underlying collateral (if the loan is collateralized) less costs to sell.  During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, there was no significant uncertainty of collection; therefore, interest income was recognized.  As of December 31, 2019, the Company determined that no allowance for collectibility of the mortgage loans receivable was necessary. The Company's mortgage loans receivable was fully collected during the year ended December 31, 2020.
(d)Real Estate Properties
EastGroup has 1 reportable segment–industrial properties.  These properties are primarily located in major Sunbelt regions of the United States. The Company's properties have similar economic characteristics and as a result, have been aggregated into one reportable segment.

(d)Real Estate Properties
EastGroup has 1 reportable segment – industrial properties, consistent with the Company’s manner of internal reporting, measurement of operating results and allocation of the Company’s resources.

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows (including estimated future expenditures necessary to substantially complete the asset) expected to be generated by the asset.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.  During the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, the Company did not identify any impairment charges which should be recorded.

Depreciation of buildings and other improvements is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of generally 40 years for buildings and 3 to 15 years for improvements.  Building improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred.  Significant renovations and improvements that improve or extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized.  Depreciation expense was $104,910,000, $96,290,000 and $86,590,000 for 2021, 2020 and $76,007,000 for 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.

(e)Development and Value-Add Properties
For properties under development and value-add properties (defined in Note 2)1(j)) acquired in the development stage, costs associated with development (i.e., land, construction costs, interest expense, property taxes and other direct and indirect costs associated with development) are aggregated into the total capitalized costs of the property. Included in these costs are management’s estimates for the portions of internal costs (primarily personnel costs) deemed related to such development activities. The internal costs are allocated to specific development projects based on development activity.  As the property becomes occupied, depreciation commences on the occupied portion of the building, and costs are capitalized only for the portion of the building that remains vacant.  The Company transfers properties from the development and value-add program to Real estate properties as follows: (i) for development properties, at the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year after completion of the shell construction, and (ii) for value-add properties, at the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year after acquisition. Upon the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year after completion of the shell construction, capitalization of development costs, including interest expense, property taxes and internal personnel costs, ceases and depreciation commences on the entire property (excluding the land).

(f)Real Estate Held for Sale
The Company considers a real estate property to be held for sale when it meets the criteria established under ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, including when it is probable that the property will be sold within a year.  Real estate properties held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell and are not depreciated while they are held for sale. As of December 31, 2021, the Company owned one operating property, Metro Business Park, that was classified as held for sale on the December 31, 2021 Consolidated Balance Sheet. As discussed in Note 17, the property was sold in the first quarter of 2022, and the Company expects to record a gain on the sale in the three months ended March 31, 2022. The Company did not classify any properties as held for sale as of December 31, 2020.

In accordance with ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, the Company would report a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity'sentity’s operations and financial results when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or when the component or group of components is disposed of by sale or other than by sale. In addition, the Company would provide additional disclosures about both discontinued operations and the disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements. EastGroup performs an analysis of properties sold to determine whether the sales qualify for discontinued operations presentation.

(g)Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
EastGroup applies ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, which requires all entities with derivative instruments to disclose information regarding how and why the entity uses derivative instruments and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. See Note 1312 for a discussion of the Company'sCompany’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

(h)Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.
 
(i)Amortization
Debt origination costs are deferred and amortized over the term of each loan using the effective interest method. Amortization of debt issuance costs was $1,296,000, $1,418,000 and $1,344,000 for 2021, 2020 and $1,352,000 for 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. Amortization of facility fees was $790,000,$751,000, $790,000 and $736,000$790,000 for 2021, 2020 2019 and 2018,2019, respectively.

Leasing costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the lease.  Leasing costs paid during the period are included in Changes in other assets and other liabilities in the Investing Activities section on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.  Leasing costs amortization expense was $16,209,000, $14,449,000 and $13,167,000 for 2021, 2020 and $11,493,000 for 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.  

Amortization expense for in-place lease intangibles is disclosed below in Real Estate Property Acquisitions and Acquired Intangibles.

(j)Real Estate Property Acquisitions and Acquired Intangibles
Upon acquisition of real estate properties, EastGroup applies the principles of ASC 805, Business Combinations. The FASB Codification provides a framework for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. Under the guidance, companies are required to utilize an initial screening test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set is not a business. EastGroup determined that its real estate property acquisitions in 2021, 2020 2019 and 20182019 are considered to be acquisitions of groups of similar identifiable assets; therefore, the acquisitions are not considered to be acquisitions of a business. As a result, the Company has capitalized acquisition costs related to its 2021, 2020 2019 and 20182019 acquisitions.
The FASB Codification also provides guidance on how to properly determine the allocation of the purchase price among the individual components of both the tangible and intangible assets based on their relative fair values.  If applicable, goodwill for business combinations is recorded when the purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired.  Factors considered by management in allocating the cost of the properties acquired include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.  The allocation to tangible assets (land, building and improvements) is based upon management’s determination of the value of the property as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow models. Land is valued using comparable land sales specific to the applicable market, provided by a third-party. The Company determines whether any financing assumed is above or below market based upon comparison to similar financing terms for similar properties.  The cost of the properties acquired may be adjusted based on indebtedness assumed from the seller that is determined to be above or below market rates.  

The purchase price is also allocated among the following categories of intangible assets:  the above or below market component of in-place leases, the value of in-place leases, and the value of customer relationships.  The value allocable to the above or below market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease over its remaining term, and (ii) management’s estimate of the amounts that would be paid using current market rents over the remaining term of the lease.  

The amounts allocated to above and below market leaseslease intangibles are included in Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. The total amount of intangible assets is further allocated to in-place lease values and customer relationship values based upon management’s assessment of their respective values.  Factors considered by management in the allocation include an estimate of foregone rents and avoided leasing costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases.  These intangible assets are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized over the remaining term of the existing lease, or the anticipated life of the customer relationship, as applicable.

Amortization of above and below market leaseslease intangibles increased rental income by $1,048,000, $1,451,000 and $1,229,000 in 2021, 2020 and $667,000 in 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.  Amortization expense for in-place lease intangibles was $5,980,000, $5,620,000 and $4,967,000 for 2021, 2020 and $4,204,000 for 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.  

Projected amortization of in-place lease intangibles for the next five years as of December 31, 2020 is as follows:

(k)Stock-Based Compensation
In May 2004, the stockholders of the Company approved the EastGroup Properties, Inc. 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (“the 2004 Plan”), which was further amended by the Board of Directors in September 2005 and December 2006.  This plan authorized the
58

EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

issuance of common stock to employees in the form of options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock units, performance shares, bonus stock or stock in lieu of cash compensation.

In April 2013, the Board of Directors adopted the EastGroup Properties, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2013 Equity Plan”) upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee; the 2013 Equity Plan was approved by the Company's stockholders and became effective May 29, 2013. The 2013 Equity Plan was further amended by the Board of Directors in March 2017. The 2013 Equity Plan replaced the 2004 Plan. Typically, the Company issues new shares to fulfill stock grants or upon the exercise of stock options.

EastGroup applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation, to account for its stock-based compensation plans. ASC 718 requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements and that the cost be measured on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The cost for market-based awards and awards that only require service are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. The cost for performance-based awards is determined using the graded vesting attribution method which recognizes each separate vesting portion of the award as a separate award on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.  This method accelerates the expensing of the award compared to the straight-line method.  For awards with a performance condition, compensation expense is recognized when the performance condition is considered probable of achievement.

The total compensation expense for service and performance based awards is based upon the fair market value of the shares on the grant date.  The grant date fair value for awards that have been granted and are subject to a future market condition (total shareholder return) are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model developed to specifically accommodate the unique features of the awards.

55

EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

During the restricted period for awards no longer subject to contingencies, the Company accrues dividends and holds the certificates for the shares; however, the employee can vote the shares.  Share certificates and dividends are delivered to the employee as they vest. Forfeitures of awards are recognized as they occur.

(l)Earnings Per Share
The Company applies ASC 260, Earnings Per Share, which requires companies to present basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”).  Basic EPS represents the amount of earnings for the period attributable to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period.  The Company’s basic EPS is calculated by dividing Net Income Attributable to EastGroup Properties, Inc. Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding does not include any potentially dilutive securities or any unvested restricted shares of common stock. These unvested restricted shares, although classified as issued and outstanding, are considered forfeitable until the restrictions lapse and will not be included in the basic EPS calculation until the shares are vested.

Diluted EPS represents the amount of earnings for the period attributable to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period and to each share that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period.  The Company calculates diluted EPS by dividing Net Income Attributable to EastGroup Properties, Inc. Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock.  The dilutive effect of unvested restricted stock is determined using the treasury stock method.

(m)Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period and to disclose material contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(n)Risks and Uncertainties
The state of the overall economy can significantly impact the Company’s operational performance and thus impact its financial position.  Should EastGroup experience a significant decline in operational performance due to the current coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic as discussed below, or other general economic conditions, it may affect the Company’s ability to make distributions to its shareholders, service debt, or meet other financial obligations.

On March 11, Although COVID-19 has had an overall minimal impact on the Company in 2020 the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The United States, which is where EastGroup’s properties are located, has experienced widespread infection, and there is uncertainty regarding how long the pandemic will2021, EastGroup remains unable to predict any future impact the United States and the rest of the world. Unprecedented, extraordinary actionsthat it may have been taken by federal, state and local governmental authorities to combat the spread of COVID-19, including issuance of “stay-at-home” directives and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily activities and for many businesses to curtail

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

or cease normal operations. These measures, while intended to protect human life, have led to, and may continue to lead to, reduced economic activity in certain sectors and an increase in unemployment throughout the United States, including some markets where the Company’s properties are located. As a result, there has been, and may continue to be, a period of economic slowdown, the severity of which is uncertain. Such economic slowdown, among other disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact EastGroup’s financial condition and results of operations and the financial condition and results of operations of the Company’s tenants.

EastGroup’s ability to lease its properties and collect rental revenues and expense reimbursements is dependent upon national, regional and local economic conditions. The potential inability to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space as leases expire on favorable terms, or at all, could cause a decline in the Company’s receipt of rental payments. The Company has been in communication with a portion of its customer base regarding rent relief requests and has executed rent deferral agreements totaling $1.7 million, all of which were applicable to periods through December 31, 2020. The majority of these deferral agreements ($1.4 million of the $1.7 million) qualify under modified COVID-19-related guidance provided by the FASB for rental income to be recognized in the periods in which they were charged under the original terms of the leases. When requests were made, they were handled on a case-by-case basis, and the Company’s responses were largely dependent on its understanding of the financial strength of the customer, the operational and earnings impacts being experienced by the customer, and the customer’s ability or inability to obtain capital through debt or equity issuances, government assistance programs or by other means.
Some of the Company’s customers are experiencing a deterioration in their financial position, results of operations and cash flows; as a result, they may not be able to pay their rent and expense reimbursements, which could adversely affect EastGroup’sbusiness, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Federal, state and local government restrictions associated with the mitigation efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19 could prevent EastGroup’s customers from accessing their leased space and operating their businesses; such restrictions could also impact the Company’s ability to operate its business, which may cause the business and operating results to decline or impact the Company’s ability to comply with regulatory obligations leading to reputational harm and regulatory issues or fines. Such restrictions could also inhibit the Company’s ability to lease vacant space in its operating portfolio and its development and value-add program. In addition, government restrictions could prevent construction of tenant improvements and development projects, which could delay construction completion and lease commencement dates. In each case, EastGroup may experience an adverse impact on its financial condition and results of operations.
The economic uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic has caused and may continue to cause disruption and instability in the financial markets and may impact EastGroup’s ability to raise capital from debt and equity markets on favorable terms or at all.
The health and well-being of EastGroup’s customers, employees, directors and other stakeholders is of great importance to the Company. The Company is striving to accommodate flexible working arrangements for its employees to ensure the health and safety of its team, while employees are continuing to perform job duties and provide services to the Company’s customers and other stakeholders. There are risks associated with remote working arrangements, including, but not limited to, risks related to cyber-security. EastGroup is continuing to monitor and adhere to federal, state and local government guidelines regarding its work arrangements with the goal of preventing the spread of COVID-19 to the Company’s workforce, customers and communities. There are risks and uncertainties related to the health of the Company’s employees and directors; any potential deterioration of the health of key personnel could impact EastGroup’s business operations.

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the current economic, financial and capital markets environment present material risks and uncertainties for the Company. However, the rapid development and fluidity of the situation precludes any prediction as to the ultimate impact COVID-19 will have on EastGroup’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, which will depend largely on future developments directly or indirectly relating to the duration and scope of the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States.

(o)Recent Accounting Pronouncements
EastGroup has evaluated all ASUs recently released by the FASB through the date the financial statements were issued and determined that the following ASUs applyASU applies to the Company.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, and subsequently issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses in November 2018. The ASUs amend guidance on reporting credit losses for assets held at amortized cost basis and available for sale debt securities. For assets held at amortized cost, Topic 326 eliminates the probable

initial recognition threshold in current GAAP and, instead, requires an entity to reflect its current estimate of all expected credit losses. For available for sale debt securities (EastGroup does not currently hold any and does not intend to hold any in the future), credit losses should be measured in a similar manner to current GAAP; however, Topic 326 requires that credit losses be presented as an allowance rather than a write-down. The ASUs affect entities holding financial assets and are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 and ASU 2018-19 on January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or disclosures.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. The ASU is intended to improve the effectiveness of fair value measurement disclosures. ASU 2018-13 is effective for all entities for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted ASU 2018-13 on January 1, 2020, and the adoption did not have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or disclosures.
In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows indexed by London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.
(p)Classification of Book Overdraft on Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows
The Company classifies changes in book overdraft in which the bank has not advanced cash to the Company to cover outstanding checks as an operating activity. Such amounts are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and prepaid rent in the Operating Activities section on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

(q)Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2020 and 2019 consolidated financial statements to conform to the 2021 presentation.

Ground Leases
On January 1, 2019, EastGroup adopted the principles of FASB ASC 842, Leases, and its related ASUs. In connection with the adoption, the Company recorded right of use assets for its ground leases, which are classified as operating leases, using the effective date transition option; under this option, prior years are not restated. As of January 1, 2019, the Company recorded right of use assets for its ground leases of $10,226,000. In April 2019, the Company acquired Logistics Center 6 & 7 in Dallas, which is located on land under a ground lease. The Company recorded a right of use asset of $2,679,000 in connection with this acquisition. There were no new ground leases in 2020. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the unamortized balances of the Company’s right of use assets for its ground leases were $11,073,000 and $11,997,000, respectively. The right of use assets for ground leases are included in Real estate properties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of December 31, 20202021 and 2019,2020, the Company operated 2 properties in Florida, 34 properties in Texas and 1 property in Arizona that are subject to ground leases.  These leases have terms of 40 to 50 years, expiration dates of August 2031 to October 2058, and renewal options of 15 to 35 years, except for the one lease in Arizona which is automatically and perpetually renewed annually.  The Company has included renewal options in the lease terms for calculating the ground lease assets and liabilities as the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise these options. Total ground lease expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $1,354,000, $1,051,000 and 2018 were $1,051,000, $966,000, and $783,000, respectively.  Payments are subject to increases at 3 to 10 year intervals based upon the agreed or appraised fair market value of the leased premises on the adjustment date or the Consumer Price Index percentage increase since the base rent date.  These future changes in payments will be considered variable payments and will not impact the assessment of the asset or liability unless there is a significant event that triggers reassessment, such as amendment with a change in the terms of the lease. The weighted-average remaining lease term as of December 31, 2020,2021, for the ground leases is 4238 years.

EastGroup applies ASC 842, Leases, for its ground leases, which are classified as operating leases. In August 2021, the Company acquired DFW Global Logistics Centre in Dallas, which is located on land under a ground lease. The Company recorded a right of use asset of $12,708,000 in connection with this acquisition. There were no new ground leases in 2020.

(1)As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, in order to calculate the present value of the remaining ground lease payments, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate, adjusted for a number of factors, including the long-term nature of the ground leases, the Company’s estimated borrowing costs, and the estimated fair value of the underlying land, to determine the imputed interest for its ground leases. The Company elected to use the portfolio approach as all of its ground leases in place as of January 1, 2019, have similar characteristics and determined 7.3% as the appropriate rate as of January 1, 2019, for all leases in place at that time. For the ground lease obtained during April 2019,August 2021, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate, adjusted for the factors discussed above, which was determined to be 8.0%5.0%.

The three long-term equity compensation plan components based on total shareholder return are subject to bright-line tests that compare the Company's total shareholder return to the Nareit Equity Index and to the member companies of the Nareit industrial index. The first plan measured the bright-line tests over the one-year period ended December 31, 2017. During the first quarter of 2018, the Committee measured the Company's performance for the 1-year period against bright-line tests established by the Committee on the grant date of May 10, 2017.  The number of shares determined on the measurement date was 4,257.  These shares vested 100% on March 1, 2018, the date the earned shares were determined. On the grant date of May 10, 2017, the Company began recognizing expense for this plan based on the grant date fair value of the awards which was determined using a simulation pricing model developed to specifically accommodate the unique features of the award.

The second plan measured the bright-line tests over the two-year period ended December 31, 2018. During the first quarter of 2019, the Committee measured the Company’s performance for the 2-year period against bright-line tests established by the Committee on the grant date of May 10, 2017.  The number of shares determined on the measurement date was 9,460.  These shares vested 100% on February 14, 2019, the date the earned shares were determined. On the grant date of May 10, 2017, the Company began recognizing expense for this plan based on the grant date fair value of the awards which was determined using a simulation pricing model developed to specifically accommodate the unique features of the award.

The third plan measured the bright-line tests over the 3-year period ended December 31, 2019. During the first quarter of 2020, the Committee measured the Company’s performance for the three-year period against bright-line tests established by the Committee on the grant date of May 10, 2017.  The number of shares determined on the measurement date was 18,917.  These shares vested 75% on February 13, 2020, the date the earned shares were determined, and 25% on January 1, 2021.

On that date, 5,406 shares were granted to certain executive officers subject only to continued service as of the vesting dates. These shares, which have a grant date fair value of $78.18 per share, vested 25% in the first quarter of 2018 and on each January 1 of 2019, 2020 and 2021. The shares were expensed on a straight-line basis over the service period.

(13)(12)DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risk, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, to a limited extent, the use of derivative instruments.

Specifically, the Company has entered into derivative instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company'sCompany’s derivative instruments, described below, are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company'sCompany’s known or expected cash payments principally related to certain of the Company'sCompany’s borrowings.

The Company'sCompany’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to change variable interest rates to fixed interest rates by using interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. 

As of December 31, 2020,2021, EastGroup had 5 interest rate swaps outstanding, all of which are used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with unsecured loans. All of the Company'sCompany’s interest rate swaps convert the related loans'loans’ LIBOR rate components to effectively fixed interest rates, and the Company has concluded that each of the hedging relationships is highly effective.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges isare recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) and isare subsequently reclassified into earnings through interest expense as interest payments are made in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

Amounts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives will be reclassified to Interest expense as interest payments are made or received on the Company'sCompany’s variable rate debt.debt in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Company estimates that an additional $4,026,000$1,993,000 will be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as an increase to Interest expense over the next twelve months.

The Company'sCompany’s valuation methodology for over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives is to discount cash flows based on Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) rates.  Uncollateralized or partially-collateralized trades are discounted at OIS rates, but include appropriate economic adjustments for funding costs (i.e., a LIBOR-OIS basis adjustment to approximate uncollateralized cost of funds) and credit risk. The Company calculates its derivative values using mid-market prices.

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced it intended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. In March 2021, the ICE Benchmark Administration, the administrator of LIBOR, announced its intention to cease publication of certain LIBOR settings after 2021, while continuing to publish overnight and one-, three-, six-, and twelve-month U.S. dollar LIBOR rates through June 30, 2023. While this announcement extended the transition period to June 2023, the United States Federal Reserve Board and other regulatory bodies concurrently issued guidance encouraging banks and other financial market participants to cease entering into new contracts that use U.S. dollar LIBOR as a reference rate as soon as practicable and in any event no later than December 31, 2021. In the U.S., the Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“AARC”), which was convened by the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, has recommended that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a recommended spread adjustment as its preferred alternative to USD-LIBOR. There are significant differences between LIBOR and SOFR, such as LIBOR being an unsecured

In July 2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) that regulateslending rate while SOFR is a secured rate, and SOFR is an overnight rate while LIBOR announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submitreflects term rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee (“ARRC”) has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) is the rate that represents best practice as the alternative to USD-LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently indexed to USD-LIBOR. ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from USD-LIBOR and organizations are currently working on industry wide and company specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash markets exposed to USD-LIBOR. In November 2020, the Intercontinental Exchange (“ICE”) Benchmark Administration Limited (“IBA”), the administrator of LIBOR, announced that it would consult on its intention to cease the publication of the one-week and two-month USD LIBOR settings immediately following December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings immediately following the LIBOR publication on June 30, 2023.at different maturities.

The Company is not ableWe expect that all LIBOR settings relevant to predict when LIBORus will cease to be availablepublished or when there will no longer be sufficient liquidityrepresentative after June 30, 2023. As a result, any of our LIBOR-based borrowings that extend beyond such date will need to be converted to a replacement rate. Certain risks may arise in theconnection with transitioning contracts to SOFR markets. Any changes adopted by the FCA or any other governing bodies in the method used for determiningalternative variable rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR may result in a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR. If that were to occur, ourcould also be impacted. The Company’s unsecured bank credit facilities, senior unsecured term loans and interest payments could change. In addition, uncertainty about the extent and manner of future changes may result in interest rates and/or payments that are higher or lower than if LIBOR were to remain available in its current form. The Company has materialrate swap contracts that are indexed to USD-LIBORLIBOR and include provisions for a replacement rate which we believe will be substantially equivalent to the all-in LIBOR-based interest rate in effect prior to its replacement.  Therefore, the Company believes the transition will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. The Company is continuously monitoring this activity and evaluating the related risks.risks, which include interest on loans and amounts received and paid on derivative instruments. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to a new alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur. The value of loans or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR could also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued as interest rates may be adversely affected.  While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until June 30, 2023, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that point. This could result, for example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator.  In that case, the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During 2020, theThe Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

Derivative financial agreements expose the Company to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties under the terms of the interest rate hedge agreements. The Company believes it minimizes the credit risk by transacting with financial institutions the Company regards as credit-worthy.

The Company has an agreement with its derivative counterparties containing a provision stating that the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender. If the Company breached any of these provisions it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $10,928,000$1,258,000 as of December 31, 2020.

(17)(15)LEGAL MATTERS

The Company is not presently involved in any material litigation nor, to its knowledge, is any material litigation threatened against the Company or its properties, other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.
As previously reported in the Company’s annual reports on Form 10-K for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company had been involved in pending litigation related to an action against the Company and certain of its officers in connection with the Company’s November 2016 purchase of a land parcel, alleging breach of contract and other claims in law and in equity. The Company asserted numerous affirmative defenses. In an effort to resolve the litigation, EastGroup made an initial settlement offer for $497,000, which was reserved in the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the parties came to a mediated resolution of the matter and it was resolved; losses related to the matter are included in Other on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. Even though the matter was settled, the case was dismissed, and releases exchanged among all parties, the Plaintiff filed an appeal of the

(18)(16)FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.  ASC 820 also provides guidance for using fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities.  The Codification requires disclosure of the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, including measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active (Level 2), and significant valuation assumptions that are not readily observable in the market (Level 3).

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments in accordance with ASC 820 at December 31, 20202021 and 2019.2020.

(2)Carrying amounts and fair values shown in the table exclude debt issuance costs (see Notes 65 and 76 for additional information).

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:

Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
Mortgage loans receivable (included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets):  The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining maturities (Level 2 input).
Interest rate swap assets (included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets): The instruments are recorded at fair value based on models using inputs, such as interest rate yield curves, LIBOR swap curves and OIS curves, observable for substantially the full term of the contract (Level 2 input). See Note 1312 for additional information on the Company'sCompany’s interest rate swaps.
Unsecured bank credit facilities: The fair value of the Company’s unsecured bank credit facilities is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at current market rates (Level 2 input), excluding the effects of debt issuance costs.
Unsecured debt: The fair value of the Company’s unsecured debt is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at the rates currently offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities, as advised by the Company’s bankers (Level 2 input), excluding the effects of debt issuance costs.
Secured debt: The fair value of the Company’s secured debt is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at the rates currently offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities, as advised by the Company’s bankers (Level 2 input), excluding the effects of debt issuance costs.
Interest rate swap liabilities (included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets): The instruments are recorded at fair value based on models using inputs, such as interest rate yield curves, LIBOR swap curves and OIS curves, observable for substantially the full term of the contract (Level 2 input).

(b)The estimated aggregate cost of real estate properties at December 31, 20202021 for federal income tax purposes was approximately $3,464,143,000$3,974,390,000 before estimated accumulated tax depreciation of $688,740,000.$749,711,000.  The federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2020,2021, has not been filed and accordingly, this estimate is based on preliminary data.

(c)The Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the buildings (generally 40 years) and improvements (generally 3 to 15 years).   

(d)The Company transfers properties from the development and value-add program to Real estate properties as follows: (i) for development properties, at the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year after completion of the shell construction, and (ii) for value-add properties, at the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year after acquisition. Upon the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year after completion of the shell construction, capitalization of development costs, including interest expense, property taxes and internal personnel costs, ceases and depreciation commences on the entire property (excluding the land).

(e)EastGroup has a $41,610,000 non-recourse first mortgage loan with an insurance company secured by Colorado Crossing, Interstate I-III, Rojas, Steele Creek 1 & 2, Venture and World Houston 3-4 and 6-9.
