Previous wording
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, economic uncertainty and stock market volatility continued due to a number of factors, including persistent inflation, interest rate uncertainty, concerns about tariffs, supply chain or trade disruptions and geopolitical conflict. While these factors did not have a significant adverse impact on EastGroup during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, they may adversely impact the Company in the future. 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. Additionally, most of the Company's leases include scheduled rent increases. In the event inflation causes increases in the Company’s general and administrative expenses, or higher interest rates increase the Company’s cost of doing business, such increased costs would not be passed through to tenants and could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. The Company continues to monitor inflation and interest rates, as well as the uncertainty resulting from the overall regulatory and economic environment.
