JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, April 23, 2025 - EastGroup Properties, Inc. (NYSE: EGP) (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “EastGroup”) announced today the results of its operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025.
Commenting on EastGroup’s performance, Marshall Loeb, CEO, stated, “I’m proud of our first quarter progress. The past two quarters marked two of our three historic highs for square feet of operating portfolio leases signed during the quarter. That’s a strong testament to our team, our properties and our markets, in that order. For the near term, concerns about global trade have since put a cloud of uncertainty around the market, in terms of leasing and capital market activity. We are monitoring the environment closely and working to complete leases as quickly as we can in the meantime. Stepping back, our management team has been through several periods of economic uncertainty before, and we’ll navigate through this one too. The uncertainty creates a stark reminder of why we maintain a strong balance sheet and focus on diversity in terms of tenants and geography. Long term, I remain bullish on the continuing external secular trends which benefit our shallow bay, last mile, high-growth market portfolio.”
EARNINGS PER SHARE
Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
On a diluted per share basis, earnings per common share (“EPS”) were $1.14 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.22 for the same period of 2024. The decrease in EPS was primarily due to the following:
•EastGroup recognized gains on sales of real estate investments of $8,751,000 ($0.18 per share) during the three months ended March 31, 2024. There were no sales during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

•Weighted average shares increased by 4,067,000 on a diluted basis during the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the same period of 2024.

DIVIDENDS
EastGroup declared a cash dividend of $1.40 per share of common stock in the first quarter of 2025. The first quarter dividend, which was paid on April 15, 2025, was the Company’s 181 st consecutive quarterly cash distribution to shareholders. The Company has increased or maintained its dividend for 32 consecutive years and has increased it in 29 years over that period, including increases in each of the last 13 years. The annualized dividend rate of $5.60 per share represents a dividend yield of 3.5% based on the closing stock price of $158.87 on April 22, 2025.
FINANCIAL STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY
EastGroup continues to maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet. Debt-to-total market capitalization was 13.7% at March 31, 2025. The Company’s interest and fixed charge coverage ratio was 15.0x for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company’s ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate (“EBITDAre”) was 3.0x for the three months ended March 31, 2025. EBITDAre and the Company’s interest and fixed charge coverage ratio are non-GAAP financial measures defined under Definitions later in this release. Refer to the schedule “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures” attached for the calculation of the Company’s interest and fixed charge coverage ratio, the debt to EBITDAre ratio, and the reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDAre.
During January 2025, EastGroup refinanced a $100,000,000 senior unsecured term loan, reducing the credit spread by 30 basis points to a total effectively fixed interest rate of 4.97%. The loan, which previously had five years remaining, now has a three-year maturity with two one-year extension options at the Company’s election. In March 2025, EastGroup repaid a $50,000,000 senior unsecured term loan at maturity with an effectively fixed interest rate of 1.58%. The Company did not enter into any new secured or unsecured debt agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The Company also had minimal draws on its unsecured credit facilities, with a weighted average balance of $820,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2025, and no borrowings on the facilities as of March 31, 2025.
During the first quarter of 2025, EastGroup sold 33,120 shares of common stock directly through its sales agents under its continuous common equity offering program at a weighted average price of $183.15 per share, providing aggregate net proceeds to the Company of approximately $6,005,000.

The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of common shares by the forward purchasers at the time it entered into forward equity sale agreements. As of April 22, 2025, EastGroup had 793,355 shares of common stock available for settlement prior to the expiration of the applicable settlement periods ranging from February through March 2026, for approximate net proceeds of $143,597,000, based on a weighted average forward price of $181.00 per share.

DEFINITIONS
The Company’s chief decision maker uses Net income as the primary measure of operating results in making decisions. Investor and industry analysts primarily utilize two supplemental operating performance measures in analyzing operating results, which include: (1) funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO”), including FFO as adjusted as described below, and (2) property net operating income (“PNOI”), as defined below.
FFO is computed in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“Nareit”). Nareit’s guidance allows preparers an option as it pertains to whether gains or losses on sale, or impairment charges, on real estate assets incidental to a real estate investment trust’s (“REIT’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. 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 Excluding Gain on Involuntary Conversion and Business Interruption Claims is calculated as FFO (as defined above), adjusted to exclude gains on involuntary conversion and business interruption claims. The Company believes that this exclusion presents a more meaningful comparison of operating performance across periods.
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
400 W. Parkway Place, Suite 100, Ridgeland, MS 39157 | TEL: 601-354-3555 | www.eastgroup.net
Page 5

its less-than-wholly-owned real estate investments. EastGroup sometimes refers to PNOI from Same Properties as “Same PNOI” in this press release and the accompanying reconciliation; the Company also presents Same PNOI Excluding Income from Lease Terminations. 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. The Company believes it is useful to evaluate Same PNOI Excluding Income from Lease Terminations on both a straight-line and cash basis. The straight-line basis is calculated by averaging the customers’ rent payments over the lives of the leases; GAAP requires the recognition of rental income on a straight-line basis. The cash basis excludes adjustments for straight-line rent and amortization of market rent intangibles for acquired leases; cash basis is an indicator of the rents charged to customers by the Company during the periods presented and is useful in analyzing the embedded rent growth in the Company’s portfolio. “Same Properties” is defined as operating properties owned during the entire current period and prior year reporting period. Operating properties are stabilized real estate properties (land including building and improvements) that make up the Company’s operating portfolio. Properties developed or acquired are excluded from the same property pool 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. A key component of the change in PNOI is the rental rate change on new and renewal leases. The Company calculates rental rate changes on new and renewal leases as the difference, weighted by square feet, of the annualized base rent due the first month of the new lease’s term and the annualized base rent of the rent due the last month of the former lease’s term, for leases signed during the reporting period. If free rent is given, then the first positive full rent value is used. Rent amounts exclude base stop amounts, holdover rent, and premium or discounted rent amounts. This calculation excludes leases with terms of less than 12 months and leases for first generation space on properties acquired or developed by EastGroup.
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 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.
Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”) is also used by the Company’s management as a key performance measure. EBITDAre is computed in accordance with standards established by Nareit and defined as Net Income, adjusted for gains and losses from sales of real estate investments, non-operating real estate and other assets incidental to the Company’s business, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company’s management to measure the Company’s operating performance and its ability to meet interest payment obligations and pay quarterly stock dividends on an unleveraged basis.
Debt-to-EBITDAre ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the Company’s debt by its EBITDAre, and is used by the Company’s management in analyzing the financial condition and operating performance of the Company relative to its leverage.
The Company’s interest and fixed charge coverage ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the Company’s EBITDAre by its interest expense. The Company believes this ratio is useful to investors because it provides a basis for analysis of the Company’s leverage, operating performance and its ability to service the interest payments due on its debt.
