Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

The information contained in the following notes to the consolidated financial statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual consolidated financial statements; accordingly, the consolidated financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, and related notes thereto, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Easterly Government Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 27, 2024.

The Company is a Maryland corporation that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2015. The operations of the Company are carried out primarily through Easterly Government Properties LP (the “Operating Partnership”) and the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. As used herein, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Easterly Government Properties, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships, including the Operating Partnership, except where context otherwise requires.

We are an internally managed REIT, focused primarily on the acquisition, development and management of Class A commercial properties that are leased to U.S. Government agencies that serve essential functions. We generate substantially all of our revenue by leasing our properties to such agencies, either directly or through the U.S. General Services Administration (“GSA”). Our objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders over the long-term through dividends and capital appreciation.

We focus primarily on acquiring, developing and managing U.S. Government leased properties that are essential to supporting the mission of the tenant agency and strive to be a partner of choice for the U.S. Government, working closely with the tenant agency to meet its needs and objectives. We may also consider other potential opportunities to add properties to our portfolio, including acquiring properties leased to state and local governments with strong creditworthiness and other opportunities that directly or indirectly support the mission of select government agencies. As of June 30, 2024, we wholly owned 84 operating properties and nine operating properties through an unconsolidated joint venture (the “JV”) in the United States, encompassing approximately 9.1 million leased square feet, including 91 operating properties that were leased primarily to U.S. Government tenant agencies, one operating property entirely leased to tenant agencies of a U.S. state government and one operating property that was entirely leased to a private tenant. As of June 30, 2024, our operating properties were 97% leased. For purposes of calculating percentage leased, we exclude from the denominator total square feet that was unleased and to which we attributed no value at the time of acquisition. In addition, we wholly owned two properties under development that we expect will encompass approximately 0.2 million leased square feet upon completion.

The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of our assets and conducts substantially all of our business. We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owned approximately 95.1% of the aggregate limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“common units”) as of June 30, 2024. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT and believe that we have operated and have been organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, Easterly Government Properties TRS, LLC, Easterly Government Services, LLC, the Operating Partnership and its other subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to state fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

6

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the impact of extraordinary events, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 adds interim and annual disclosure requirements to GAAP at the request of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The guidance in ASU 2023-06 is required to be applied prospectively and the GAAP requirements will be effective when the removal of the related SEC disclosure requirements is effective. If the SEC does not act to remove its related requirement by June 30, 2027, any related FASB amendments will be removed from the ASC and will not be effective. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2023-06 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

3. Real Estate and Intangibles

Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we acquired three operating properties in asset acquisitions, ICE – Dallas, ICE – Orlando, and HSI – Orlando for an aggregate purchase price of $52.1 million. We allocated the aggregate purchase price of these acquisitions based on the estimated fair values of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities as follows (amounts in thousands):

	Total
Real estate
Land	$	13,108
Building		22,528
Acquired tenant improvements		6,568
Total real estate		42,204
Intangible assets
In-place leases		6,984
Acquired leasing commissions		2,876
Total intangible assets		9,860
Purchase price	$	52,064

The intangible assets and liabilities of operating properties acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2024 have a weighted average amortization period of 13.9 years as of June 30, 2024. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we included $1.3 million of revenues and $0.5 million of net income in our Consolidated Statements of Operations related to the operating properties acquired.

In addition to the above operating property activity, we acquired one land parcel for development, JUD – Flagstaff, during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we incurred $0.4 million and $0.8 million of acquisition-related expenses, respectively, mainly consisting of internal costs associated with the property acquisitions.

The following is a summary of our investment in the JV (dollars in thousands):

		As of June 30,
Joint Venture	Ownership Interest	2024
MedBase Venture	53.0%	$	280,085

On October 13, 2021, we formed an unconsolidated real estate venture, which we refer to as the JV, with a global investor to fund the acquisition of a portfolio of ten properties anticipated to encompass 1,214,165 leased square feet (the “VA Portfolio”). We own a 53.0% interest in the JV, subject to preferred allocations as provided in the JV agreement. We have joint approval rights with our JV partner on major decisions, including those regarding property operations. As such, we hold a non-controlling interest in the joint venture and account for the JV under the equity method of accounting.

No operating properties were acquired by the JV during the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2024, nine of the ten properties in the VA Portfolio had been acquired by the JV.

We, together with various subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, have guaranteed the Series A Senior Notes (and will guarantee the Series B Senior Notes, once issued).

2024 Revolving Credit Facility

On June 3, 2024, we entered into a credit agreement (the “2024 Credit Agreement”) that provides for a $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility which includes an accordion feature that provides us with additional capacity of up to $300.0 million, subject to syndication of the increase and the satisfaction of customary terms and conditions. The 2024 revolving credit facility has an initial four-year term and will mature in June 2028, with two six-month as-of-right extension options, subject to certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee.

Borrowings under the 2024 revolving credit facility will, at the Operating Partnership's option, bear interest at floating rates equal to either (i) a fluctuating rate equal to the sum of (a) the highest of (x) Citibank, N.A.'s base rate, (y) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (z) the one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, (b) a margin ranging from 0.20% to 0.80% based on our leverage ratio, (ii) the daily simple SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% (the “Adjusted DSS”), or (iii) the term SOFR, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% (the “Term SOFR”), plus, in the case of borrowings bearing interest at Adjusted DSS or Term SOFR, a margin ranging from 1.20% to 1.80% based on our leverage ratio.

2021 Revolving Credit Facility

We are also party to the second amended and restated credit agreement, dated July 23, 2021, as amended by the first amendment, dated as of July 22, 2022, the second amendment, dated as of November 23, 2022, and the third amendment, dated as of May 30, 2023 (as amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2021 Credit Facility”), which provides for (i) a $450.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2021 revolving credit facility”) and (ii) our 2018 term loan facility.

Effective on June 3, 2024 upon the entry into the 2024 Credit Agreement and the prepayment of all amounts outstanding under the 2021 revolving credit facility, the component of the 2021 Credit Facility providing for the 2021 revolving credit facility, including all unused commitments, was terminated. Other than the foregoing, the terms of the 2021 Credit Facility remain unchanged and our 2018 term loan facility remains outstanding. We recognized an aggregate $0.3 million loss on debt extinguishment during the three months ended June 30, 2024 which is included in interest expense, net on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Term Loan Facilities

On January 23, 2024, we entered into the seventh amendment to the senior unsecured term loan agreement, dated as of September 29, 2016, that governs our 2016 term loan facility to extend the maturity date of our 2016 term loan facility from March 29, 2024 to January 30, 2025.

10

On June 3, 2024, we repaid $25.0 million of amounts outstanding under our 2018 term loan facility using available cash derived from the issuance of Series A Senior Notes.

On July 8, 2024, we used $0.5 million of available cash to pay down a portion of our 2018 term loan facility.

On July 15, 2024, we amended the credit agreements governing our 2016 and 2018 term loan facilities to conform certain definitions related to leverage covenants to the provisions of the 2024 Credit Agreement.

Financial Covenant Considerations

As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants related to our debt.

6. Derivatives and Hedging Activities

The following table sets forth the key terms and fair values of our interest rate swap derivatives, each of which was designated as a cash flow hedge as of June 30, 2024. We entered into these interest rate swap derivatives to reduce our exposure to the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in our floating rate debt (amounts in thousands):

Notional Amount		Fixed Rate			Floating Rate Index	Effective Date	Expiration Date	Fair Value
$	100,000		4.01	%	USD-SOFR with -5 Day Lookback	June 23, 2023	March 23, 2025	$	770
$	100,000		4.18	%	USD-SOFR with -5 Day Lookback	June 23, 2023	December 23, 2024	$	488
$	100,000		3.70	%	USD-SOFR with -5 Day Lookback	September 29, 2023	June 29, 2025	$	1,207

The table below sets forth the fair value of our interest rate derivatives as well as their classification on our Consolidated Balance Sheet (amounts in thousands):

Balance Sheet Line Item	As of June 30, 2024
Interest rate swaps	$	2,465

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The gains or losses on derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and will be reclassified to interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings on our variable rate debt.

We estimate that $4.4 million will be reclassified from AOCI as a decrease to interest expense over the next 12 months.

The table below presents the effects of our interest rate derivatives on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) (amounts in thousands):

	For the three months ended June 30,				For the six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Unrealized gain recognized in AOCI	$	597	$	4,842	$	2,529	$	4,336
Gain reclassified from AOCI into interest expense		1,028		1,735		2,058		3,242

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features

We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision where we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on such indebtedness. As of June 30, 2024, we were not in a net liability position with any derivative counterparty. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with these agreements and had not posted any collateral related to these agreements.

7. Fair Value Measurements

Accounting standards define fair value as the exit price, or the amount that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standards also establish a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy of these inputs is broken down into three levels: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is most significant to the fair value measurement.

Recurring fair value measurements

The fair values of our interest rate swaps are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis, on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities in such interest rates. While we determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. We have determined that the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments made to our derivative contracts, which determination was based on the fair value of each individual contract, was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, all of our derivatives held as of June 30, 2024 were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments. The table below presents our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (amounts in thousands):

	As of June 30, 2024
Balance Sheet Line Item	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3
Interest rate swaps	$	—	$	2,465	$	—

For our disclosure of debt fair values, we estimated the fair value of our 2016 term loan facility and our 2018 term loan facility based on the variable interest rate and credit spreads (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) and estimated the fair value of our other debt based on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); the discount rates used approximate current market rates for loans, or groups of loans, with similar maturities and credit quality, and the estimated future payments included scheduled principal and interest payments. Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time, are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Settlement at such fair value amounts may not be possible and may not be a prudent management decision.

Financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value

As of June 30, 2024, all financial instruments and liabilities were reflected in our balance sheets at amounts which, in our estimation, reasonably approximated their fair values, except for the following:

	As of June 30, 2024
Financial liabilities	Carrying Amount (1)		Fair Value (2)
2024 revolving credit facility	$	72,500	$	72,500
2016 term loan facility	$	100,000	$	100,000
2018 term loan facility	$	175,000	$	175,000
Notes payable	$	850,000	$	764,001
Mortgages payable	$	210,007	$	196,983

(1)

The carrying amount consists of principal only.

(2)

We deem the fair value measurement of the financial liability instrument a Level 3 measurement.

8. Equity Incentive Plan

The following is a summary of our stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively:

	For the three months ended June 30,				For the six months ended June 30,
	2024		2023		2024		2023
Stock-based compensation expense	$	1,160	$	1,299	$	2,389	$	2,967

Stock-based compensation expense is included within corporate general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

On January 2, 2024, we granted an aggregate of 201,150 service-based LTIP units and 193,993 performance-based LTIP units to members of management pursuant to the 2015 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2015 Plan”). The service-based LTIP units vest on December 31, 2026 subject to the grantee's continued employment and the other terms of the awards. The performance-based LTIP units consisted of (i) 77,256 LTIP units that are subject to us achieving certain total shareholder return performance thresholds (on both an absolute and relative basis) and (ii) 116,737 LTIP units that are subject to us achieving certain operational performance hurdles, in each case through a performance period ending on December 31, 2026. The performance-based LTIP units will vest to the extent earned following the end of the performance period on December 31, 2026, conditioned on the board of directors approval.

On January 19, 2024, we granted 69,419 performance-based LTIP units to members of management pursuant to the 2015 Plan that are subject to us achieving certain total shareholder return performance thresholds (on a relative basis) through a performance period ending on December 31, 2026. The performance-based LTIP units will vest to the extent earned following the end of the performance period on December 31, 2026, conditioned on the board of directors approval.

Pursuant to the 2015 Plan, the significant assumptions used to value the performance-based LTIP units using a Monte Carlo Simulation (risk -neutral approach) include expected volatility (24.0%), dividend yield (6.6% - 6.7%), risk-free interest rate (4.1%) and expected life (3 years).

On May 17, 2024, at our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, the stockholders approved the Easterly Government Properties, Inc. 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”). The 2024 Plan replaced the 2015 Plan and no further awards will be granted under the 2015 Plan. The maximum number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance under the 2024 Plan is 3,600,000.

On June 14, 2024, in connection with our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, we issued an aggregate of 35,623 shares of restricted stock and 13,601 LTIP units to our non-employee directors pursuant to the 2024 Plan. The LTIP units grants will vest upon the earlier of the anniversary of the date of the grant or the next annual stockholder meeting, so long as the grantee remains a director on such date.

Pursuant to the 2024 Plan, the significant assumptions used to value the service-based LTIP units using a Monte Carlo Simulation (risk -neutral approach) include expected volatility (27.0%), dividend yield (7.8%), risk-free interest rate (5.2%) and expected life (0.9 years).

A summary of dividends declared by our board of directors per share of common stock and per common unit at the date of record is as follows:

Quarter	Declaration Date	Record Date	Payment Date	Dividend (1)
Q1 2024	April 25, 2024	May 9, 2024	May 21, 2024	0.265
Q2 2024	July 17, 2024	August 1, 2024	August 13, 2024	0.265

(1) Prior to the end of the performance period as set forth in the applicable LTIP unit award, holders of performance-based LTIP units are entitled to receive dividends per LTIP unit equal to 10% of the dividend paid per common unit. After the end of the performance period, the number of LTIP units, both vested and unvested, that LTIP award recipients have earned, if any, are entitled to receive dividends in an amount per LTIP unit equal to dividends, both regular and special, payable per common unit. Holders of LTIP units that are not subject to the attainment of performance goals are entitled to receive dividends per LTIP unit equal to 100% of the dividend paid per common unit beginning on the grant date.

ATM Programs

We entered into separate equity distribution agreements on each of December 20, 2019 (the “2019 ATM Program”) and June 22, 2021 (the “2021 ATM Program” and, together with the 2019 ATM Program, the “ATM Programs”) with various financial institutions pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million under each ATM Program from time to time in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Under each of the ATM Programs, we may enter into one or more forward transactions (each, a “forward sale transaction”) under separate master forward sale confirmations and related supplemental confirmations with each of the various financial institutions party to the respective ATM Program for the sale of shares of our common stock on a forward basis.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to issuances under the 2019 ATM Program during the six months ended June 30, 2024 (amounts in thousands except share amounts):

	2019 ATM Program
For the three months ended	Number of Shares Issued (1)		Net Proceeds (1)
March 31, 2024		—	$	—
June 30, 2024		589,647		7,903
Total		589,647	$	7,903

(1) Shares issued by us, which were all issued in settlement of forward sale transactions. As of June 30, 2024, we had settled all of our outstanding forward sale transactions under the 2019 ATM Program. We accounted for the forward sale transactions as equity.

No sales of shares of our common stock were made under the 2021 ATM Program during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $300.0 million of gross sales of our common stock available under the 2021 ATM Program and $79.3 million of gross sales of common stock available under the 2019 ATM Program.

Share Repurchase Program

On April 28, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program whereby we may repurchase up to 4,538,994 shares of our common stock, or approximately 5% of our outstanding shares as of the authorization date. We are not required to purchase shares under the share repurchase program, but may choose to do so in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at times and amounts based on our evaluation of market conditions and other factors.

No repurchases of shares of our common stock were made under the share repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

adjusting the basic EPS computation for the effect of dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods presented. Unvested restricted shares of common stock and unvested LTIP units are considered participating securities, which require the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.

The following table sets forth the computation of our basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were 421,612 and 456,479 unvested performance-based LTIP units, respectively, that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been antidilutive for the period. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there were 314,844 unvested performance-based LTIP units that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been antidilutive for the period.

During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no underlying unsettled forward sale transactions that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been antidilutive for the period. During both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, there 1,700,000 shares of underlying unsettled forward sale transactions that were not included in the computation of diluted EPS because to do so would have been antidilutive for the period.

11. Leases

Lessor

We lease commercial space to the U.S. Government through the GSA or other federal agencies or nongovernmental tenants. These leases may contain extension options that are predominately at the sole discretion of the tenant. Certain of our leases contain a “soft-term” period of the lease, meaning that the U.S. Government tenant agency has the right to terminate the lease prior to its stated lease end date. While certain of our leases are contractually subject to early termination, we do not believe that our tenant agencies are likely to terminate these leases early given the build-to-suit features at the properties subject to the leases, the weighted average age of these properties based on the date the property was built or renovated-to-suit, where applicable (approximately 19.1 years as of June 30, 2024), the mission-critical focus of the properties subject to the leases and the current level of operations at such properties. Certain lease agreements include variable lease payments that, in the future, will vary based on changes in inflationary measures, real estate tax rates, usage, or share of expenditures of the leased premises.

The table below sets forth our composition of lease revenue recognized between fixed and variable components (amounts in thousands):

	For the three months ended June 30,				For the six months ended June 30,

Lessee

We lease corporate office space under operating lease arrangements in Washington, D.C. and San Diego, CA. The leases include variable lease payments that, in the future, will vary based on changes in real estate tax rates, usage, or share of expenditures of the leased premises. We have elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for our corporate office leases.

As of June 30, 2024, the unamortized balances associated with our right-of-use operating lease asset and operating lease liability were both $2.6 million. We used our incremental borrowing rate, which was arrived at utilizing prevailing market rates and the spread on our 2021 revolving credit facility, in order to determine the net present value of the minimum lease payments.

The following table provides quantitative information for our commenced operating leases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in thousands):

	$	3,016	$	2,765	$	4,138	$	5,075

As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance in Accounts receivable related to tenant construction projects and the associated project management income was $10.8 million and $9.6 million, respectively.

The duration of the majority of tenant construction project reimbursement arrangements is less than a year and payment is typically due once a project is complete and work has been accepted by the tenant. There were no projects on-going as of June 30, 2024 with a duration of greater than one year.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, in parking garage income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in parking garage income. The monthly and transient daily parking revenue falls within the scope of Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and is accounted for at the point in time when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer and our performance obligation is satisfied. As of both June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance in Accounts receivable related to parking garage income was less than $0.1 million.

There were no contract assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.

13. Concentrations Risk

Concentrations of credit risk arise for us when multiple of our tenants are engaged in similar business activities, are located in the same geographic region or have similar economic features that impact in a similar manner their ability to meet contractual obligations, including obligations owed to us. We regularly monitor our tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk.

As stated in Note 1 above, we lease commercial space to the U.S. Government or non-governmental tenants. At June 30, 2024, the U.S. Government accounted for approximately 96.9% of our total annualized lease income, state and local government tenants accounted for approximately 1.1% of our annualized lease income and non-governmental tenants accounted for the remaining approximately 2.0%.

Eighteen of our 93 wholly-owned and unconsolidated operating properties are located in California, accounting for approximately 15.2% of our total leased square feet and approximately 19.7% of our total annualized lease income as of June 30,

18

2024. To the extent that weak economic or real estate conditions or natural disasters affect California more severely than other areas of the country, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be significantly impacted.

14. Related Parties

We have reimbursement arrangements with entities controlled by our former Chairman, who was appointed Chief Executive Officer effective January 1, 2024, and Vice Chairman, which provide for reimbursement of costs paid on our behalf, or those we pay on their behalf. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we were responsible for reimbursing costs of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively, and received reimbursement for costs of less than $0.1 million for both periods.

We provide asset management services to properties owned by the JV. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, we recognized Asset management income of $0.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively, and reimbursement for certain costs that we paid on their behalf of $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recognized Asset management income of $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively, and reimbursement for certain costs that we paid on their behalf of $0.1 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

As of June 30, 2024, Accounts receivable from related parties was $0.2 million. As of June 30, 2024, there were no Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities owed to related parties.

15. Subsequent Events

For our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2024, we evaluated subsequent events and noted the following significant events.

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, we entered into forward sale transactions under the 2019 ATM Program for the sale of an additional 400,000 shares of our common stock that have not yet been settled. Subject to our right to elect net share settlement, we expect to physically settle the forward sale transactions no later than July 11, 2025. Assuming the forward sale transactions are physically settled in full utilizing a net weighted average initial forward sales price of $13.14 per share, we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $5.3 million, after deducting offering costs, subject to adjustments in accordance with the applicable forward sale transaction.

Overview

References to “we,” “our,” “us” and “the Company” refer to Easterly Government Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, including Easterly Government Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to herein as the “Operating Partnership.” We present certain financial information and metrics “at Easterly Share,” which is calculated on an entity-by-entity basis. “At Easterly Share” information, which we also refer to as being “at share,” “pro rata,” “our pro rata share” or “our share” is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

We are an internally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), focused primarily on the acquisition, development and management of Class A commercial properties that are leased to U.S. Government agencies that serve essential functions. We generate substantially all of our revenue by leasing our properties to such agencies, either directly or through the U.S. General Services Administration (“GSA”). Our objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders over the long term through dividends and capital appreciation.

We focus primarily on acquiring, developing and managing U.S. Government-leased properties that are essential to supporting the mission of the tenant agency and strive to be a partner of choice for the U.S. Government, working closely with the tenant agency to meet its needs and objectives. We may also consider other potential opportunities to add properties to our portfolio, including acquiring properties leased to state and local governments with strong creditworthiness and other opportunities that directly or indirectly support the mission of select government agencies. As of June 30, 2024, we wholly owned 84 operating properties and nine operating properties through an unconsolidated joint venture (the “JV”) in the United States, encompassing approximately 9.1 million leased square feet (8.6 million pro rata), including 91 operating properties that were leased primarily to U.S. Government tenant agencies, one operating property entirely leased to tenant agencies of a U.S. state government and one operating property that was entirely leased to a private tenant. As of June 30, 2024, our operating properties were 97% leased. For purposes of calculating percentage leased, we exclude from the denominator total square feet that was unleased and to which we attributed no value at the time of acquisition. In addition, we wholly owned two properties under development that we expect will encompass approximately 0.2 million leased square feet upon completion.

The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of our assets and conducts substantially all of our business. We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owned approximately 95.1% of the aggregate limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, which we refer to herein as common units, as of June 30, 2024. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT and believe that we have operated and have been organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015.

2024 Activity

Acquisitions

On April 12, 2024, we acquired a 129,046 leased square foot U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (“ICE”) facility near Dallas, Texas. The building was renovated to suit in 2020. The facility is primarily leased to the GSA for beneficial use of ICE and has lease expirations ranging from 2032 to 2040.

On May 7, 2024, we acquired a 27,840 leased square foot Homeland Security Investigations (“HSI”) facility in Orlando, Florida with a 15-year lease that does not expire until March 2036. HSI is the principal investigation arm within the Department of Homeland Security.

On May 9, 2024, we acquired a 49,420 leased square foot ICE facility in Orlando, Florida with a 20-year lease that does not expire until August 2040.

21

Development

On April 4, 2024, we acquired land to develop a 50,777 square foot Federal courthouse in Flagstaff, Arizona. The courthouse will be primarily leased to the GSA for beneficial use of the Judiciary of the U.S. Government (“JUD”) over a 20 year non-cancelable term.

22

Operating Properties

As of June 30, 2024, our operating properties were 97% leased with a weighted average annualized lease income per leased square foot of $36.00 ($35.67 pro rata) and a weighted average age of approximately 14.8 years based on the date the property was built or renovated-to-suit, where applicable. We calculate annualized lease income as annualized contractual base rent for the last month in a specified period, plus the annualized straight line rent adjustments for the last month in such period and the annualized net expense reimbursements earned by us for the last month in such period.

The table set forth below shows information relating to the properties we owned, or in which we had an ownership interest, at June 30, 2024, and it includes properties held by the JV:

Asset is subject to a ground lease where we are the lessee.

Certain of our leases are currently in the “soft-term” period of the lease, meaning that the U.S. Government tenant agency has the right to terminate the lease prior to its stated lease end date. We believe that, from the U.S. Government’s perspective, leases with such provisions are helpful for budgetary purposes. While some of our leases are contractually subject to early termination, we do not believe that our tenant agencies are likely to terminate these leases early given the build-to-suit features at the properties subject to the leases, the weighted average age of these properties based on the date the property was built or renovated-to-suit, where applicable (approximately 19.1 years as of June 30, 2024), the mission-critical focus of the properties subject to the leases and the current level of operations at such properties.

The following table sets forth a schedule of lease expirations for leases in place (including for wholly owned properties and properties held by the JV) as of June 30, 2024:

The year of lease expiration is pursuant to current contract terms. Some tenants have the right to vacate their space during a specified period, or “soft term,” before the stated terms of their leases expire. As of June 30, 2024, 11 tenants occupying approximately 7.0% of our leased square feet and contributing approximately 6.8% of our annualized lease income have exercisable rights to terminate their lease before the stated term of their respective lease expires.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We anticipate that our cash flows from the sources listed below will provide adequate capital for the next 12 months for all anticipated uses, including all scheduled principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, current and anticipated tenant improvements, development activities at FDA – Atlanta and JUD – Flagstaff, planned and possible acquisitions of properties, including the one remaining property in the portfolio of ten properties anticipated to be acquired through the JV (the “VA Portfolio”), stockholder distributions to maintain our qualification as a REIT, potential repurchases of common stock under our share repurchase program and other capital obligations associated with conducting our business. At June 30, 2024, we had approximately $14.8 million available in cash and cash equivalents, $12.4 million of restricted cash and there was approximately $327.4 million available under our 2024 revolving credit facility.

Our primary expected sources of capital are as follows:

•

existing cash balances;

•

operating cash flow;

•

distribution of cash flows from the JV;

•

available borrowings under our 2024 revolving credit facility;

•

issuance of long-term debt;

•

issuance of equity, including under our ATM Programs (as described below); and

•

asset sales.

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for the following:

•

development and redevelopment activities, including major redevelopment, renovation or expansion programs at FDA - Atlanta and JUD - Flagstaff and other individual properties;

•

property acquisitions under contract, including our pro rata share of the one remaining VA Portfolio property;

•

tenant improvements, allowances and leasing costs;

•

recurring maintenance and capital expenditures;

29

•

debt repayment requirements;

•

commitments to fund advancements through loan receivables;

•

corporate and administrative costs;

•

interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness;

•

interest swap payments;

•

distribution payments; and

•

potential repurchases of common stock under our share repurchase program.

Our long-term liquidity needs, in addition to recurring short-term liquidity needs as discussed above, consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, non-recurring capital expenditures, and scheduled debt maturities. Although we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain of our liquidity needs, unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which affect our financial condition and results of operations may arise, or our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or required. As of the date of this filing, there were no known commitments or events that would have a material impact on our liquidity.

Equity

ATM Programs

We entered into separate equity distribution agreements on each of December 20, 2019 (the “2019 ATM Program”) and June 22, 2021 (the “2021 ATM Program” and, together with the 2019 ATM Program, the “ATM Programs”) with various financial institutions pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million under each ATM Program from time to time in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Under each of the ATM Programs, we may enter into one or more forward transactions (each, a “forward sale transaction”) under separate master forward sale confirmations and related supplemental confirmations with each of the various financial institutions party to the respective ATM Program for the sale of shares of our common stock on a forward basis.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to issuances under the 2019 ATM Program during the six months ended June 30, 2024 (amounts in thousands, except share amounts):

	2019 ATM Program
For the three months ended	Number of Shares Issued (1)		Net Proceeds (1)
March 31, 2024		—	$	—
June 30, 2024		589,647		7,903
Total		589,647	$	7,903

(1) Shares issued by us, which were all issued in settlement of forward sale transactions. As of June 30, 2024, we had settled all of our outstanding forward sale transactions under the 2019 ATM Program. We accounted for the forward sale transactions as equity.

No sales of shares of our common stock were made under the 2021 ATM Program during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, we had approximately $300.0 million of gross sales of our common stock available under the 2021 ATM Program and $79.3 million of gross sales of common stock available under the 2019 ATM Program.

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, we entered into forward sale transactions under the 2019 ATM Program for the sale of an additional 400,000 shares of our common stock that have not yet been settled. Subject to our right to elect net share settlement, we expect to physically settle the forward sale transactions no later than July 11, 2025. Assuming the forward sale transactions are physically settled in full utilizing a net weighted average initial forward sales price of $13.27 per share, we expect to receive net proceeds of approximately $5.3 million, after deducting offering costs, subject to adjustments in accordance with the applicable forward sale transaction.

30

Share Repurchase Program

On April 28, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program whereby we may repurchase up to 4,538,994 shares of our common stock, or approximately 5% of our outstanding shares as of the authorization date. We are not required to purchase shares under the share repurchase program but may choose to do so in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at times and amounts based on our evaluation of market conditions and other factors.

No repurchases of shares of our common stock were made under the share repurchase program during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

2024 Senior Note Agreement

On May 29, 2024, we entered into a master note purchase agreement pursuant to which the Operating Partnership will issue and sell an aggregate of up to $200 million of fixed rate, senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes”) consisting of (i) 6.56% Series A Senior Notes due May 29, 2033 (“Series A Senior Notes”), in an aggregate principal amount of $150.0 million, and (ii) 6.56% Series B Senior Notes due August 14, 2033 (“Series B Senior Notes”), in an aggregate principal amount of $50.0 million. The Series A Senior Notes were issued on May 29, 2024 and the Series B Senior Notes are expected to be issued on or around August 14, 2024, subject to customary closing conditions. We, together with various subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, have guaranteed the Series A Senior Notes (and will guarantee the Series B Senior Notes, once issued).

2024 Revolving Credit Facility

On June 3, 2024, we entered into a credit agreement (the “2024 Credit Agreement”) that provides for a $400.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility which includes an accordion feature that provides us with additional capacity of up to $300.0 million, subject to syndication of the increase and the satisfaction of customary terms and conditions. The 2024 revolving credit facility has an initial four-year term and will mature in June 2028, with two six-month as-of-right extension options, subject to certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee.

Borrowings under the 2024 revolving credit facility will, at the Operating Partnership's option, bear interest at floating rates equal to either (i) a fluctuating rate equal to the sum of (a) the highest of (x) Citibank, N.A.'s base rate, (y) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50% and (z) the one-month adjusted term SOFR plus 1.00%, plus, in each case, (b) a margin ranging from 0.20% to 0.80% based on our leverage ratio, (ii) the daily simple SOFR plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% (the “Adjusted DSS”), or (iii) the term SOFR, plus a credit spread adjustment of 0.10% (the “Term SOFR”), plus, in the case of borrowings bearing interest at Adjusted DSS or Term SOFR, a margin ranging from 1.20% to 1.80% based on our leverage ratio.

2021 Revolving Credit Facility

We are also party to the second amended and restated credit agreement, dated July 23, 2021, as amended by the first amendment, dated as of July 22, 2022, the second amendment, dated as of November 23, 2022, and the third amendment, dated as of May 30, 2023 (as amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “2021 Credit Facility”), which provides for (i) a $450.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2021 revolving credit facility”) and (ii) our 2018 term loan facility.

32

Effective on June 3, 2024 upon the entry into the 2024 Credit Agreement and the prepayment of all amounts outstanding under the 2021 revolving credit facility, the component of the 2021 Credit Facility providing for the 2021 revolving credit facility, including all unused commitments, was terminated. Other than the foregoing, the terms of the 2021 Credit Facility remain unchanged and our 2018 term loan facility remains outstanding. We recognized an aggregate $0.3 million loss on debt extinguishment during the three months ended June 30, 2024 which is included in interest expense, net on our Consolidated Statement of Operations.

Term Loan Facilities

On January 23, 2024, we entered into the seventh amendment to the senior unsecured term loan agreement, dated as of September 29, 2016, that governs our 2016 term loan facility to extend the maturity date of our 2016 term loan facility from March 29, 2024 to January 30, 2025.

On June 3, 2024, we repaid $25.0 million of amounts outstanding under our 2018 term loan facility using available cash derived from the issuance of Series A Senior Notes.

On July 8, 2024, we used $0.5 million of available cash to pay down a portion of our 2018 term loan facility.

On July 15, 2024, we amended the credit agreements governing our 2016 and 2018 term loan facilities to conform certain definitions related to leverage covenants to the provisions of the 2024 Credit Agreement.

Our 2024 revolving credit facility, term loan facilities, notes payable, and mortgage notes payable are subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial and other covenants. As of June 30, 2024, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants.

The chart below details our debt capital structure as of June 30, 2024 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Debt Capital Structure	June 30, 2024
Total principal outstanding	$	1,407,507
Weighted average maturity	4.9 years
Weighted average interest rate		4.4	%
% Variable debt		3.4	%
% Fixed debt (1)		96.6	%
% Secured debt		14.9	%

(1)

Our 2016 term loan facility, 2018 term loan facility and $25.0 million of our 2024 revolving credit facility are swapped to be fixed and as such are included as fixed rate debt in the table above.

Material Cash Commitments

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we increased our commitment to fund advancements through a loan receivable to $13.9 million. As of June 30, 2024, $5.5 million has been funded. We expect to fund the remaining commitment over the next year dependent on the borrower's election to use the commitments.

Other than as described above, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no material changes to the cash commitment information presented in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Unconsolidated Real Estate Venture

We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling interest or are the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity. From time to time, we may have off-balance sheet unconsolidated real estate ventures and other unconsolidated arrangements with varying structures.

As of June 30, 2024, we had invested $280.1 million in the JV. As of June 30, 2024, we had committed capital, net of return of over committed capital, to the JV totaling $292.8 million and had a remaining capital commitment of $46.6 million. None of the properties owned by the JV are encumbered by mortgage indebtedness.

For a more complete description of the JV, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Dividend Policy

In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute to our stockholders, on an annual basis, at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. We anticipate distributing all of our taxable income. We expect to make quarterly distributions to our stockholders in a manner intended to satisfy this requirement. Prior to making any distributions for U.S. federal tax purposes or otherwise, we must first satisfy our operating and debt service obligations. It is possible that it would be necessary to utilize cash reserves, liquidate assets at unfavorable prices or incur additional indebtedness in order to make required distributions. It is also possible that our board of directors could decide to make required distributions in part by using shares of our common stock.

A summary of dividends declared by the board of directors per share of common stock and per common unit at the date of record is as follows:

Quarter	Declaration Date	Record Date	Payment Date	Dividend (1)
Q1 2024	April 25, 2024	May 9, 2024	May 21, 2024	0.265
Q2 2024	July 17, 2024	August 1, 2024	August 13, 2024	0.265

(1)

Prior to the end of the performance period as set forth in the applicable LTIP unit award, holders of performance-based LTIP units are entitled to receive dividends per LTIP unit equal to 10% of the dividend paid per common unit. After the end of the performance period, the number of LTIP units, both vested and unvested, that LTIP award recipients have earned, if any, are entitled to receive dividends in an amount per LTIP unit equal to dividends, both regular and special, payable per common unit. Holders of LTIP units that are not subject to the attainment of performance goals are entitled to receive dividends per LTIP unit equal to 100% of the dividend paid per common unit beginning on the grant date.

Inflation

Substantially all of our leases provide for operating expense escalations. We believe inflationary increases in expenses may be at least partially offset by the operating expenses that are passed through to our tenants and by contractual rent increases. We do not believe inflation has had a material impact on our historical financial position or results of operations.

Cash Flows

The following table sets forth a summary of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in thousands):

Net cash used by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023 includes $55.6 million in dividend payments, $17.8 million in mortgage notes payable repayment, $12.5 million in net pay downs under our revolving credit facility and $0.1 million in the payment of offering costs, offset by $52.4 million in gross proceeds from issuance of shares of our common stock.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use and present Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Core FFO as supplemental measures of our performance. The summary below describes our use of FFO and Core FFO and provides information regarding why we believe these measures are meaningful supplemental measures of our performance and reconciles these measures from net income, presented in accordance with GAAP.

Funds From Operations and Core Funds From Operations

FFO is a supplemental measure of our performance. We present FFO calculated in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) definition set forth in the Nareit FFO White Paper – Restatement 2018. FFO includes the REIT’s share of FFO generated by unconsolidated affiliates. In addition, we present Core FFO for certain other adjustments that we believe enhance the comparability of our FFO across periods and to the FFO reported by other publicly traded REITs. FFO is a supplemental performance measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry to assist investors and analysts in comparing results of REITs.

FFO is defined by Nareit as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding:

•

Depreciation and amortization related to real estate.

•

Gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets.

•

Gains and losses from change in control.

•

Impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.

We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance, and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting results.

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

FFO and Core FFO are presented as supplemental financial measures and do not fully represent our operating performance. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and Core FFO or use other definitions of FFO and Core FFO and, accordingly, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to other REITs. Neither FFO nor Core FFO is intended to be a

35

measure of cash flow or liquidity. Please refer to our financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net income to FFO and Core FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (amounts in thousands):

	For the three months ended June 30,						For the six months ended June 30,
	2024			2023			2024			2023
Net income	$	4,850		$	5,778		$	9,734		$	10,192
Depreciation of real estate assets		23,834			22,368			47,383			45,199
Unconsolidated real estate venture allocated share of above adjustments		2,006			1,875			4,008			3,750

Core FFO		31,373			30,267			62,129			59,767

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base these estimates, judgments, and assumptions on historical experience, current trends, and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, or different assumptions were made, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, resulting in different financial results or a different presentation of our financial statements.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 contains a discussion of our significant accounting policies, which utilize relevant critical accounting estimates. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, there were no material changes to the discussion of our significant accounting policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Our primary market risk results from our indebtedness, which bears interest at both fixed and variable rates. We manage and may continue to manage our market risk on variable rate debt by entering into swap arrangements to, in effect, fix the rate on all or a portion of the debt for varying periods up to maturity. This in turn, reduces the risks of variability of cash flows created by variable rate debt and mitigates the risk of increases in interest rates. Our objective when undertaking such arrangements is to reduce our floating rate exposure and we do not intend to enter into hedging arrangements for speculative purposes. For more information on our interest rate swaps, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of June 30, 2024, $1.4 billion, or 96.6% of our debt, excluding unamortized premiums and discounts, had fixed interest rates and $47.5 million, or 3.4%, had variable interest rates based on SOFR. If market interest rates on our variable rate debt fluctuate by 25 basis points, our interest expense would increase or decrease, depending on rate movement, by $0.1 million annually.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We carried out an evaluation required by the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a -15(e) and Rule 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, as of June 30, 2024. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
