Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements

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, 2024, 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, 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 25, 2025.

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 over 90% 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 March 31, 2025, we wholly owned 90 operating properties andten operating properties through an unconsolidated joint venture (the “JV”) in the United States, encompassing approximately 9.7 million leased square feet, including 92 operating properties that were leased primarily to U.S. Government tenant agencies, four operating properties leased to tenant agencies of a U.S. state or local government andthree operating properties that were entirely leased to private tenants. As of March 31, 2025, 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 ownedtwo 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 95.4% of the aggregate limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“common units”) as of March 31, 2025. 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.

Reverse Stock Split

On April 28, 2025, we effected a 1-for-2.5 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock, which reverse stock split was previously approved by our Board of Directors (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result, every 2.5 shares of issued and outstanding common stock were consolidated into 1 share. The par value of the common stock remained unchanged at $0.01 per share. Concurrently with the Reverse Stock Split, the Operating Partnership completed a corresponding 1-for-2.5 reverse unit split of outstanding common units and LTIP units (the “Reverse Unit Split”). All share and per share amounts, including earnings per share, in these financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025 from 111,756,225 to 44,702,490. For additional information, see Note 9 Equity Incentive Plan, Note 10 Equity and Note 11 Earnings Per Share.

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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. 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.

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.

  1. 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, 2024.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued 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.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires expanded interim and annual disclosures of certain expense information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

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

As of March 31,
Joint VentureOwnership Interest2025
MedBase Venture53.0%$314,546

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 often properties that encompasses 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.

  1. Real Estate Loan Receivable

On August 6, 2024, we entered into a construction loan agreement to lend up to $52.1 million to a developer (the “Borrower”). The construction loan will accrue interest monthly at a fixed market rate of 9.00% per annum. The construction loan shall be re-paid in full on or before August 31, 2027, the maturity date. Upon completion of the development, we have the option to purchase at fair value all of the issued and outstanding membership interest from the Borrower in a special purpose entity (“SPE”) which solely holds the developed property. We hold a variable interest in the SPE, but we do not consolidate the SPE as we are not the primary beneficiary due to the lack of power to direct significant activities performed by the SPE.

On April 1, 2025, the Borrower repaid $15.0 million of the construction loan outstanding upon substantial completion of the development and receipt of the lump sum reimbursement from the government. On April 15, 2025, we declined the option to purchase, at the stated price, all of the issued and outstanding membership interest from the Borrower.

A summary of our real estate loan receivable consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

No interest income was recognized from real estate loan receivables during thethree months ended March 31, 2024. Interest income from our real estate loan receivable is included within Other income on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2025, we recognized an allowance for credit loss liability of less than $0.1 million for the undrawn capacity on the construction loan. Allowance for credit loss liability is included within Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The fair value of this real estate loan receivable was approximately $45.4 million as of March 31, 2025.

Financial Covenant Considerations

As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants related to our debt.

  1. 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 March 31, 2025. 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):

Balance Sheet Line ItemAs of March 31, 2025
Interest rate swaps - Asset$145
Interest rate swaps - Liability(1,323)

Treasury Locks

On January 29, 2025, we entered into a treasury lock agreement designated as a cash flow hedge to fix the seven-year Treasury rate at 4.43% for $50.0 million of notional value related to the 2025 series B senior notes issued on March 20, 2025. The treasury lock agreement was terminated and settled on March 5, 2025 and we recognized a $1.1 million loss in other comprehensive income. The loss in other comprehensive income is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2025 series B senior note.

On February 6, 2025, we entered into a treasury lock agreement designated as a cash flow hedge to fix theseven-year Treasury rate at 4.36% for $50.0 million of notional value related to the 2025 series B senior notes issued on March 20, 2025. The treasury lock agreement was terminated and settled on March 5, 2025 and we recognized a $0.9 million loss in other comprehensive income. The loss in other comprehensive income is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2025 series B senior note.

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 $0.4 million will be reclassified from AOCI as a net 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 March 31,
20252024
Unrealized gain (loss) recognized in AOCI$(3,447)$1,932
Gain reclassified from AOCI into interest expense3851,030

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 March 31, 2025, the net fair value of derivatives in a liability position, which includes accrued interest, related to agreements with our derivative counterparties was $1.2 million. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not breached any provisions of these agreements and had not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company were to breach any such provisions of these agreements, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $1.2 million.

  1. 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 March 31, 2025 were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other assets (excluding our real estate loan receivable) and accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments. The fair value of our real estate loan receivable, as disclosed in Note 5, is based on the discounted estimated future cash flows of the loan (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); the discount rates used approximate current market rates for loans with similar maturities and credit quality, and the estimated cash payments include scheduled principal and interest payments. The table below presents our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (amounts in thousands):

Balance Sheet Line ItemLevel 1Level 2Level 3
Interest rate swaps - Asset$—$145$—
Interest rate swaps - Liability$—$(1,323)$—

For our disclosure of debt fair values, we estimated the fair value of our 2016 term loan facility, our 2018 term loan facility and our 2024 revolving credit 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

The following table summarizes the aggregate principal outstanding under the Company's indebtedness and the corresponding estimate of fair value as of March 31, 2025:

Financial liabilitiesCarrying Amount (1)Fair Value (2)
2024 revolving credit facility$155,050$155,050
2016 term loan facility$100,000$100,000
2018 term loan facility$174,500$174,500
Notes payable$1,025,000$955,884
Mortgages payable$155,172$147,157

(1)

The carrying amount consists of principal only.

(2)

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

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

Upon the Reverse Stock Split becoming effective on April 28, 2025, the total number of common shares available for issuance under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”)was adjusted from 3,600,000 to 1,440,000.

On January 2, 2025, we granted an aggregate of 160,368 performance-based LTIP units (adjusted for the Reverse Unit Split) to members of management pursuant to the 2024 Plan, consisting of (i)85,372 LTIP units that are subject to us achieving certain total shareholder return performance thresholds (on both an absolute and relative basis) and (ii)74,996 LTIP units that are subject to us achieving certain operational performance hurdles, in each case through a performance period ending on December 31, 2027. The performance-based LTIP will vest to the extent earned following the end of the performance period on December 31, 2027. On January 2, 2025, we also granted an aggregate of 129,561 service-based LTIP units (adjusted for the Reverse Unit Split) to members of management pursuant to the 2024 Plan, which will vest on December 31, 2027. The LTIP units are subject to the grantee's continued employment and the other terms of the awards.

Pursuant to the 2024 Plan, the significant assumptions used to value the performance-based LTIP units using a Monte Carlo Simulation (risk-neutral approach) include expected volatility (25.0%), dividend yield (7.8%), risk-free interest rate (4.3%) and expected life (3 years).

(1) As of both December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company reclassified $0.6 million from Common Stock to Additional Paid-in-Capital due to the reduction in shares outstanding in connection with the Reverse Stock Split effective April 28, 2025.

A summary of dividends declared by our Board of Directors per share of common stock and per common unit (as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split and Reverse Unit Split) at the date of record is as follows:

QuarterDeclaration DateRecord DatePayment DateDividend (1)

(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 2021 ATM Program during thethree months ended March 31, 2025 (amounts in thousands except share amounts):

Total1,514,266$40,858

(1) Share amounts have been retrospectively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Shares issued by us, which were all issued in settlement of forward sale transactions. As of March 31, 2025, we had 117,507 unsettled shares of our outstanding forward sale transactions under the 2021 ATM Program. We accounted for the forward sale transactions as equity.

As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $258.5 million of gross sales of our common stock available under the 2021 ATM Program and $15.4 million of gross sales of common stock available under the 2019 ATM Program.

On April 24, 2025, we settled 202,721 shares inclusive of the 117,507 unsettled shares (adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) as of March 31, 2025 under our 2021 ATM Program and received $5.3 million of net proceeds. We accounted for the forward sale transactions as equity.

Share Repurchase Program

On April 28, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program whereby we may repurchase up to 1,815,597 shares of our common stock (adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split), or approximately 5% of our outstanding shares as of the original 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 thethree months ended March 31, 2025.

  1. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings or loss per share of common stock (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted EPS is computed after 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 thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, see Note 1 Organization and Basis of Presentation (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, there were 163,805 and 196,599 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.

(2)

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, all shares of underlying unsettled forward sale transactions were dilutive and included in the computation of diluted EPS. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, there were 235,859 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.

  1. 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 19.8 years as of March 31, 2025), 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 March 31,
20252024
Fixed$70,773$65,436
Variable4,7735,310
Rental income75,54670,746

On March 12, 2025, the Company was awarded a 20-year non-cancelable lease for a 40,035 square foot Federal District and Federal Magistrate Courthouse in Medford, Oregon (“JUD - Medford”). Closing of the acquisition of the underlying property to be redeveloped is subject to customary closing conditions.

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 March 31, 2025, the unamortized balances associated with our right-of-use operating lease asset and operating lease liability were both $2.1 million. We used our incremental borrowing rate, which was arrived at utilizing prevailing market rates and the spread on our revolving credit facility, in order to determine the net present value of the minimum lease payments.

  1. Revenue

The table below sets forth revenue from tenant construction projects and the associated project management income disaggregated by tenant agency for thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (amounts in thousands):

For the three months ended March 31,

The Judiciary of the U.S. Government (“JUD”)3836
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”)28—
Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”)—139
$1,179$1,122

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance in Accounts receivable related to tenant construction projects and the associated project management income was $7.1 million and $8.1 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 March 31, 2025 with a duration of greater than one year.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized $0.2 million in parking garage income. During thethree months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized $0.1 million 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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance in Accounts receivable related to parking garage income was less than $0.1 million.

There wereno contract assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.

  1. 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 March 31, 2025, the U.S. Government accounted for approximately 93.4% of our total annualized lease income, state and local government tenants accounted for approximately 3.2% of our annualized lease income and non-governmental tenants accounted for the remaining approximately 3.4%.

Eighteen of our 100 wholly-owned and unconsolidated operating properties are located in California, accounting for approximately 14.1% of our total leased square feet and approximately 18.7% of our total annualized lease income as of March 31, 2025. 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.

  1. Segment Information

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our operations are reported withinone reportable and operating segment in the consolidated financial statements and all of our properties are included within this single reportable and operating segment (the “segment”).

Our chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”) include our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as they are responsible for allocating resources, assessing performance and determining appropriate operating segments.

The CODMs assess performance for the segment and decide how to allocate resources based on net income, which is reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations as Net Income. The Consolidated Statements of Operations, inclusive of significant expenses, are provided to the CODMs for performance assessment. The CODMs use net income to evaluate income generated from our properties when deciding whether to reinvest profits into our assets or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions or dividend payments. Net income is also used to monitor budgeted versus actual results. The CODMs also use net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to our competitors. The competitive analysis, along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results, is used to assess the segment performance and to establish employee and management compensation.

The measure of segment assets is reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as Total Assets. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.

  1. Related Parties

We have reimbursement arrangements with entities controlled by our Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman, which provide for reimbursement of costs paid on our behalf, or those we pay on their behalf. During both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we were responsible for reimbursing costs of $0.1 million and received reimbursement for costs of less than $0.1 million.

We provide asset management services to properties owned by the JV.
