JBG SMITH Properties

1. Organization and Basis of Presentation

Organization

JBG SMITH Properties ("JBG SMITH"), a Maryland real estate investment trust, owns, operates and develops mixed-use properties concentrated in amenity-rich, Metro-served submarkets in and around Washington, D.C., most notably National Landing, where through our focus on placemaking, we cultivate vibrant, highly amenitized, walkable neighborhoods. Almost 80.0% of our portfolio is in the National Landing submarket in Northern Virginia. In addition, our third-party real estate services business provides fee-based real estate services.

Substantially all our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, JBG SMITH Properties LP ("JBG SMITH LP"), our operating partnership. As of December 31, 2025, JBG SMITH, as its sole general partner, controlled JBG SMITH LP and owned 82.0% of its OP Units, after giving effect to the conversion of certain vested long-term incentive partnership units ("LTIP Units") that are convertible into OP Units. JBG SMITH is referred to herein as "we," "us," "our" or other similar terms. References to "our share" refer to our ownership percentage of consolidated and unconsolidated assets in real estate ventures, but exclude our 10.0% subordinated interest inone commercial building and our 33.5% subordinated interest infour commercial buildings (the "Fortress Assets"), as well as the associated non-recourse mortgage loans, held through unconsolidated real estate ventures; these interests and debt are excluded because our investment in each real estate venture is zero, we do not anticipate receiving any near-term cash flow distributions from the real estate ventures, and we have not guaranteed their obligations or otherwise committed to providing financial support.

We were organized for the purpose of receiving, via the spin-off on July 17, 2017 (the "Separation"), substantially all the assets and liabilities of Vornado Realty Trust's Washington, D.C. segment. On July 18, 2017, we acquired the management business and certain assets and liabilities of The JBG Companies ("JBG") (the "Combination"). The Separation and the Combination are collectively referred to as the "Formation Transaction."

As of December 31, 2025, our Operating Portfolio consisted of 39 operating assets comprising 15 multifamily assets totaling 6,519 units (6,333 units at our share),22 commercial assets totaling 7.3 million square feet (6.9 million square feet at our share) andtwo wholly owned land assets for which we are the ground lessor. Additionally, our development pipeline, which consists of owned and entitled land on which we have the potential to commence construction subject to completion of design and/or market conditions, totaled 4.9 million square feet (3.6 million square feet at our share) of estimated potential development density. Our development pipeline excludes unentitled land parcels and land parcels controlled through an option agreement.

We derive our revenue primarily from leases with multifamily and commercial tenants. Revenue under our multifamily leases is generally due on a monthly basis with terms of approximately one year or less, and may include income from utility recoveries, parking and other miscellaneous items. Our commercial leases include fixed and percentage rents, and reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses such as real estate taxes, property operating expenses, and repairs and maintenance. In addition, our third-party real estate services business provides fee-based real estate services.

Only commercial leases with the U.S. federal government accounted for 10% or more of our total revenue as follows:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries, consolidated real estate ventures and consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs"), including JBG SMITH LP. See Note 6 for additional information. The portions of the equity and net income (loss) of consolidated entities that are not attributable to us are presented separately as amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in our consolidated financial statements.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Asset Acquisitions

We account for asset acquisitions, which includes the consolidation of previously unconsolidated real estate ventures, at cost, including transaction costs, plus the fair value of any assumed debt. We estimate the fair values of acquired tangible assets (consisting of real estate, tenant and other receivables, and other assets, as applicable), identified intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of in-place leases and above- and below-market leases, as applicable), assumed debt and other liabilities, and noncontrolling interests, as applicable, based on our evaluation of information and estimates available at the date of acquisition. Based on these estimates, we allocate the purchase price, including all transaction costs related to the acquisition and any contingent consideration, to the identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair value. The results of operations of acquisitions are prospectively included in our consolidated financial statements beginning with the date of the acquisition.

The fair values of buildings are determined using the "as-if vacant" approach whereby we use discounted cash flow models with inputs and assumptions that we believe are consistent with current market conditions for similar assets. The most significant assumptions in determining the allocation of the purchase price to buildings are the exit capitalization rate, discount rate, estimated market rents and hypothetical expected lease-up periods, when applicable. We assess the fair value of land based on market comparisons and development projects using an income approach of cost plus a margin.

The fair values of identified intangible assets and liabilities are determined based on the following:

depreciation and amortization expense in our consolidated statements of operations over the remaining term of the existing lease.

Real Estate

Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation. Repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and are included in property operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

Construction in progress, including land, is carried at cost, and no depreciation is recorded. All direct and indirect costs related to development activities, including redevelopment activities, are capitalized to the extent that we believe such costs are recoverable through the value of the property into construction in progress, including land in our consolidated balance sheets, except for certain demolition costs, which are expensed as incurred. Direct development costs incurred include: pre-development expenditures directly related to a specific project, development and construction costs, interest, insurance and real estate taxes. Indirect development costs include: employee salaries and benefits, travel and other related costs that are directly associated with the development. Our method of calculating capitalized interest expense is based upon applying our weighted average borrowing rate to the actual accumulated expenditures if the property does not have property specific debt. If the property is encumbered by specific debt, we will capitalize both the interest incurred applicable to that debt and additional interest expense using our weighted average borrowing rate for any accumulated expenditures in excess of the principal balance of the debt encumbering the property. The capitalization of such expenses ceases when the real estate is ready for its intended use, but no later than one-year from substantial completion of major construction activities at which point the costs associated with a property are allocated to its various components.

Depreciation and amortization expense require an estimate of the useful life of each property and improvement. Depreciation and amortization expense are recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives, which range from three to 40 years. Tenant improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases, which approximate the useful lives of the tenant improvements. When assets are sold or retired, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts with the resulting gains (losses) reflected in net income (loss) for the period.

Our real estate and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever there are changes in circumstances or indicators that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. These indicators may include declining operating performance, below average occupancy, shortened anticipated holding periods, costs in excess of budgets for under-construction assets and other adverse changes. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. Estimates of future cash flows are based on our current plans, anticipated holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. Longer anticipated holding periods for real estate assets directly reduce the likelihood of recording an impairment loss. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of the asset is not recoverable and is measured based on the excess of the property's carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Estimated fair values are calculated based on the following information in order of priority, dependent upon availability: (i) pending or executed agreements, (ii) market prices for comparable properties or (iii) the sum of discounted cash flows.

If our estimates of future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, asset strategy or fair values change, based on market conditions, anticipated selling prices or other factors, our evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements. Estimates of future cash flows are subjective and are based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates, capitalization and discount rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a purchase date life to maturity of three months or less and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash consists primarily of security deposits held on behalf of our tenants and cash escrowed under loan agreements for debt service, real estate taxes, property insurance, capital improvements and proceeds from property dispositions held in escrow, as applicable.

Investments in Real Estate Ventures

We analyze each real estate venture at acquisition, formation, after a change in the ownership agreement, after a change in the entity's economics or after any other reconsideration event to determine whether the entity is a VIE. An entity is a VIE because it is in the development stage and/or does not hold sufficient equity at risk, or conducts substantially all its operations on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights. If it is determined that an entity is a VIE in which we have a variable interest, we assess whether we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE to determine whether it should be consolidated. We will consolidate a VIE if we are the primary beneficiary of the VIE, which entails having the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance. We are not the primary beneficiary of a VIE when we do not have voting control, lack the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, or the limited partners (or non-managing members) have substantive participatory rights. If it is determined that the real estate venture is not a VIE, then the determination as to whether we consolidate is based on whether we have a controlling financial interest in the real estate venture, which is based on our voting interests and the degree of influence we have over the real estate venture. Management uses judgment when determining if we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE or have a controlling financial interest in a real estate venture determined not to be a VIE. Factors considered in determining whether we have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance include voting rights, involvement in day-to-day capital and operating decisions, and the extent of our involvement in the entity.

We use the equity method of accounting for investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures when we have significant influence but are not the primary beneficiary of a VIE or do not have a controlling financial interest in a real estate venture determined not to be a VIE. Significant influence is typically indicated through ownership of 20% or more of the voting interests. Under the equity method, we record our investments in these entities in investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures in our consolidated balance sheets, and our proportionate share of earnings (losses) is recognized in loss from unconsolidated real estate ventures in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

We earn revenue from the management services we provide to unconsolidated real estate ventures. These fees are determined in accordance with the terms specific to each arrangement and may include property and asset management fees, or transactional fees for leasing, acquisition, development and construction, financing and legal services provided. We account for this revenue gross of our ownership interest in each respective real estate venture and recognize such revenue in third-party real estate services, including reimbursements in our consolidated statements of operations when earned. Our proportionate share of related expenses is recognized in loss from unconsolidated real estate ventures in our consolidated statements of operations.

We may also earn incremental promote distributions if certain financial return benchmarks are achieved upon ultimate disposition of the underlying properties. Promote revenue is recognized when certain earnings events have occurred, and the amount of revenue is determinable and collectible. Any promote revenue is reflected in loss from unconsolidated real estate ventures in our consolidated statements of operations. In the event our investment in a real estate venture is reduced to zero, and we are not obligated to provide for additional losses, have not guaranteed its obligations or otherwise committed to providing financial support, we will discontinue the equity method of accounting until such point that our share of net income equals the share of net losses not recognized during the period the equity method was suspended.

With regard to distributions from unconsolidated real estate ventures, we use the information that is available to us to determine the nature of the underlying activity that generated the distributions. Using the nature of distribution approach, cash flows generated from the operations of an unconsolidated real estate venture are classified as a return on investment (cash inflow from operating activities) and cash flows from property sales, debt refinancing or sales of our investments are classified as a return of investment (cash inflow from investing activities).

On a periodic basis, we evaluate our investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures for impairment. An investment in a real estate venture is considered impaired if we determine that its fair value is less than the net carrying value of the investment in that real estate venture on an other-than-temporary basis. Cash flow projections for the investments consider property level factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, anticipated holding periods, as well as the effects of demand, competition and other factors. We consider various qualitative factors to determine if a decrease in the value of our investment is other-than-temporary. These factors include the age of the venture, our intent and ability to retain our investment in the real estate venture, financial condition and long-term prospects of the real estate venture and relationships with our partners and banks. If we believe that the decline in the fair value of the investment is temporary, no impairment loss is recorded. If our analysis indicates that there is an other-than temporary impairment related to the investment in a particular real estate venture, the carrying value of the venture will be adjusted to an amount that reflects the estimated fair value of the investment.

We evaluate reconsideration events as we become aware of them. Reconsideration events include, among other criteria, amendments to real estate venture agreements or changes in the capital requirements of the real estate venture. A reconsideration event could cause us to consolidate an unconsolidated real estate venture or deconsolidate a consolidated entity.

Intangibles

Intangible assets primarily consist of: (i) in-place leases, below-market ground rent obligations, and above-market real estate leases that were recorded in connection with the acquisition of properties and (ii) options to enter into ground leases and management and leasing contracts that were acquired in the Combination. Intangible liabilities consist of above-market ground rent obligations and below-market real estate leases that are also recorded in connection with the acquisition of properties. Both intangible assets and liabilities are amortized and accreted using the straight-line method over their applicable remaining useful life. When a lease or contract is terminated early, any remaining unamortized or unaccreted balances are charged to earnings. The useful lives of intangible assets are evaluated each reporting period with any changes in estimated useful lives being accounted for over the revised remaining useful life.

Intangible assets also include the wireless spectrum licenses we acquired. While the licenses are issued forten years, as long as we act within the requirements and constraints of the regulatory authorities, the renewal and extension of these licenses is reasonably certain. Accordingly, we have concluded that the licenses are indefinite-lived intangible assets.

Investments

Investments in equity securities without readily determinable fair values are carried at cost. Investments in investment funds without readily determinable fair values that qualify for the net asset value ("NAV") practical expedient are carried at fair value based on their reported NAV. Investments in equity securities and investment funds are included in other assets in our consolidated balance sheets. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) are included in interest and other income in our consolidated statements of operations.

Assets Held for Sale

Assets, primarily consisting of real estate, are classified as held for sale when all the necessary criteria are met. The criteria include: (i) management, having the authority to approve action, commits to a plan to sell the property in its present condition, (ii) the sale of the property is at a price reasonable in relation to its current fair value and (iii) the sale is probable and expected to be completed within one year. Real estate held for sale is carried at the lower of carrying amounts or estimated fair value less disposal costs. Depreciation and amortization expense is not recognized on real estate classified as held for sale.

Deferred Costs

Deferred leasing costs include direct and incremental costs incurred in the successful negotiation of leases, including leasing commissions and other costs, which are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the corresponding lease term. Unamortized leasing costs are charged to expense upon the early termination of the lease.

Deferred financing costs consist of loan issuance costs directly related to financing transactions that are deferred and amortized over the term of the related loan as a component of interest expense. Unamortized deferred financing costs related to our mortgage loans and term loans are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amounts of the related debt instruments, while such costs related to our revolving credit facility are included in other assets.

Noncontrolling Interests

We identify our noncontrolling interests separately in our consolidated balance sheets. Amounts of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests and to the noncontrolling interests in consolidated subsidiaries are presented separately in our consolidated statements of operations.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Redeemable noncontrolling interests primarily consist of OP Units issued in conjunction with the Formation Transaction and LTIP Units issued to employees, and our venture partner's interest in West Half. Redeemable noncontrolling interests related to our OP Units and LTIP Units that are convertible into OP Units are generally redeemable at the option of the holder for our common shares, or cash at our election, subject to certain limitations. Redeemable noncontrolling interests are presented in the mezzanine section between total liabilities and shareholders' equity in our consolidated balance sheets. The carrying amounts of redeemable noncontrolling interests are adjusted to their redemption value at the end of each reporting period, but no less than their initial carrying value, with such adjustments recognized in additional paid-in capital. See Note 13 for additional information.

Noncontrolling Interests - Noncontrolling interests represents the portion of equity that we do not own in entities we consolidate, including interests in consolidated real estate ventures.

Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedge Accounting

Derivative financial instruments are used at times to manage exposure to variable interest rate risk. Derivative financial instruments are recognized as either assets or liabilities and are measured at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. Cash flows and related gains (losses) associated with derivative financial instruments are classified as operating cash flows in our consolidated statements of cash flows, unless the derivative financial instrument contains an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception, in which case the related cash flows are reported as either cash flows from investing or financing activities depending on the derivative's off-market nature at inception.

Derivative Financial Instruments Designated as Effective Hedges - Certain derivative financial instruments, consisting of interest rate swap and cap agreements, are cash flow hedges that are designated as effective hedges, and are carried at their estimated fair value on a recurring basis. We assess the effectiveness of our hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. If the hedges are deemed to be effective, the fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in our consolidated balance sheets and is subsequently reclassified into interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations in the period that the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings. Our hedges become less than perfectly effective if the critical terms of the hedging instrument and the forecasted transactions do not perfectly match such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, calculation period and interest rates. In addition, we evaluate the default risk of the counterparty by monitoring the creditworthiness of the counterparty.

Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities require management to make judgments on the nature of its derivatives and their effectiveness as hedges. These judgments determine if the changes in fair value of the derivative instruments are reported in our consolidated statements of operations, or in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.

*Non-Designated Derivatives -*Certain derivative financial instruments, consisting of interest rate cap agreements, are used to manage our exposure to interest rate movements, but do not meet the accounting requirements to be classified as hedging instruments. These derivatives are carried at their estimated fair value on a recurring basis with realized and unrealized gains (losses) recorded in interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820 ("Topic 820"), Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures, defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the exit price). Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels:

Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data; and

Level 3 — unobservable inputs that are used when little or no market data is available.

The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, we utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible as well as consider counterparty credit risk in our assessment of fair value. Investments that are valued using NAV as a practical expedient are excluded from the fair value hierarchy disclosures.

Revenue Recognition

We have leases with various tenants across our portfolio of properties, which generate rental income and operating cash flows for our benefit. Through these leases, we provide tenants with the right to control the use of our real estate, which tenants agree to use and control. The right to control our real estate conveys to our tenants substantially all of the economic benefits and the right to direct how and for what purpose the real estate is used throughout the period of use, thereby meeting the definition of a lease. Leases will be classified as either operating, sales-type or direct financing leases based on whether the lease is structured in effect as a financed purchase.

Property rental revenue includes base rent each tenant pays in accordance with the terms of its respective lease and is reported on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the lease, which includes the effects of periodic step-ups in rent and rent abatements under the lease. When a renewal option is included within the lease, we assess whether the option is reasonably certain of being exercised against relevant economic factors to determine whether the option period should be included as part of the lease term. Further, property rental revenue includes tenant reimbursement revenue from the recovery of all or a portion of the real estate taxes, property operating expenses, and repairs and maintenance of the respective assets. Tenant reimbursements, which vary each period, are non-lease components that are not the predominant activity within the contract. We have elected the practical expedient that allows us to combine certain lease and non-lease components of our operating leases. Non-lease components are recognized together with fixed base rent in property rental revenue, as variable lease income in the same periods as the related expenses are incurred. Certain commercial leases may also provide for the payment by the lessee of additional rents based on a percentage of sales, which are recorded as variable lease income in the period the additional rents are earned.

We commence rental revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space or controls the physical use of the leased space and when the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use. In circumstances where we provide a tenant improvement allowance for improvements that are owned by the tenant, we recognize the allowance as a reduction of property rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease commencing when the tenant takes possession of the space. Differences between rental revenue recognized and amounts due under the respective lease agreements are recorded as an increase or decrease to deferred rent receivable in our consolidated balance sheets. Property rental revenue also includes the amortization or accretion of acquired above- and below-market leases. We periodically evaluate the collectability of amounts due from tenants and recognize an adjustment to property rental revenue for accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable if we conclude it is not probable that we will collect substantially all of the remaining lease payments under the lease agreements. Any changes to the provision for lease revenue determined to be not probable of collection are included in property rental revenue in our consolidated statements of operations. We exercise judgment in assessing the probability of collection and consider payment history, current credit status and economic outlook in making this determination.

Third-party real estate services revenue, including reimbursements, includes property and asset management fees, and transactional fees for leasing, acquisition, development and construction, financing, and legal services which are earned from providing services to third-party property owners and our unconsolidated real estate ventures. These fees are determined in accordance with the terms specific to each arrangement and are recognized as the related services are performed.

Third-Party Real Estate Services Expenses

Third-party real estate services expenses include the costs associated with the management services provided to our unconsolidated real estate ventures and other third parties, including amounts paid to third-party contractors for construction projects that we manage. We allocate personnel and other overhead costs using estimates of the time spent performing services for our third-party real estate services and other allocation methodologies.

Lessee Accounting

We have, or have entered in the past, operating and financing leases, including ground leases on certain of our properties. When a renewal option is included within a lease, we assess whether the option is reasonably certain of being exercised against relevant economic factors to determine whether the option period should be included as part of the lease term. Lease payments associated with renewal periods that we are reasonably certain will be exercised are included in the measurement of the corresponding lease liability and right-of-use asset. Lease expense for our operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term and is included in our consolidated statements of operations in property operating expenses or general and administrative expenses, as applicable. Amortization of the right-of-use asset associated with a financing lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term and is included in our consolidated statements of operations in depreciation and amortization expense with the related interest on our outstanding lease liability included in interest expense.

Certain lease agreements include variable lease payments that, in the future, will vary based on changes in inflationary measures, market rates or our share of expenditures of the leased premises. Such variable payments are recognized in lease expense in the period in which the variability is determined. Certain lease agreements may also include various non-lease components that primarily relate to property operating expenses associated with our office leases, which also vary each period. We have elected the practical expedient which allows us to combine lease and non-lease components for our ground and office leases and recognize variable non-lease components in lease expense when incurred.

We discount our future lease payments for each lease to calculate the related lease liability using an estimated incremental borrowing rate computed based on observable corporate borrowing rates reflective of the general economic environment, taking into consideration our creditworthiness and various financing and asset specific considerations, adjusted to approximate a secured borrowing for the lease term. We made a policy election to forgo recording right-of-use assets and the related lease liabilities for leases with initial terms of 12 months or less.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Under those sections, a REIT which distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as dividends to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. We currently adhere and intend to continue to adhere to these requirements and to maintain our REIT status in future periods.

As a REIT, we can reduce our taxable income by distributing all or a portion of such taxable income to shareholders. Future distributions will be declared and paid at the discretion of the Board of Trustees and will depend upon cash generated by operating activities, our financial condition, capital requirements, annual dividend requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant.

We also participate in the activities conducted by our subsidiary entities that have elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS") under the Code. As such, we are subject to federal, state, and local taxes on the income from these

activities. Income taxes attributable to our TRSs are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes arise from temporary differences between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts in our consolidated financial statements, which will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. We provide for a valuation allowance for deferred income tax assets if we believe all or some portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. Any increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances that causes a change in the estimated ability to realize the related deferred tax asset is included in deferred tax benefit (expense).

ASC 740 ("Topic 740"), Income Taxes, provides guidance for how uncertain tax positions should be recognized, measured, presented and disclosed in our consolidated financial statements. Topic 740 requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing our tax returns to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" of being sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax benefits of positions not deemed to meet the more-likely-than-not threshold are recorded as a tax expense in the current year.

Earnings (Loss) Per Common Share

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average common shares outstanding during the period. Unvested share-based compensation awards that entitle holders to receive non-forfeitable distributions are considered participating securities. Consequently, we are required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings (loss) that would otherwise have been available to common shareholders. Under the two-class method, earnings for the period are allocated between common shareholders and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends. During periods of net loss, losses are allocated only to the extent the participating securities are required to absorb their share of such losses. Distributions to participating securities in excess of their allocated income (loss) are shown as a reduction to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share reflects the potential dilution of the assumed exchange of various unit and share-based compensation awards into common shares to the extent they are dilutive. The Class B common shares ("Class B Shares") are excluded from the calculation of earnings (loss) per common share as they do not participate in profits or losses.

Share-Based Compensation

The fair value of share-based compensation awards granted to our trustees, management or employees is determined, depending on the type of award, using the Monte Carlo or Black-Scholes methods, which is intended to estimate the fair value of the awards at the grant date using dividend yields, expected volatilities that are primarily based on available implied data and peer group companies' historical data and post-vesting restriction periods. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The shortcut method is used for determining the expected life used in the valuation method.

Compensation expense is based on the fair value of our common shares at the date of the grant and is recognized ratably over the vesting period using a graded vesting attribution model. Compensation expense for share-based compensation awards made to retirement eligible employees is recognized over a six-month period after the grant date or over the remaining period until they become retirement eligible. We account for forfeitures as they occur. Distributions paid on unvested OP Units and LTIP Units are recorded to redeemable noncontrolling interests in our consolidated balance sheets. Distributions paid on unvested Restricted Share Units ("RSUs") are recorded to additional paid-in capital in our consolidated balance sheets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Standard Adopted

Income Taxes

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures." ASU 2023-09 modifies the rules on

income tax disclosures to require entities to disclose (i) specific categories in the rate reconciliation, (ii) the income (loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense or benefit (separated between domestic and foreign) and (iii) income tax expense or benefit from continuing operations (separated by federal, state and foreign). ASU 2023-09 also requires entities to disclose their income tax payments to international, federal, state and local jurisdictions, among other changes. In 2025, we adopted ASU 2023-09, which did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

Standards Not Yet Adopted

Interim Reporting

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, "Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements." ASU 2025-11 improves the navigability of the required interim disclosures and clarifies when that guidance is applicable. The amendments also provide additional guidance on what disclosures should be provided in interim reporting periods. The guidance is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

Hedge Accounting

In November 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-09, "Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements." ASU 2025-09 amends certain aspects of the hedge accounting guidance in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, to provide targeted improvements intended to enhance the application of hedge accounting, including expanded eligibility of forecasted transactions, additional flexibility in measuring hedge effectiveness and clarifications related to hedging non-financial items. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods, with early adoption permitted. The guidance should be applied on a prospective basis. While we are evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance, we currently do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Expense Disaggregation Disclosures

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 statements.

3. Acquisitions, Dispositions and Assets Held for Sale

Acquisitions

In September 2025, we acquired the remaining 45.0% interest in the unconsolidated real estate venture that owned 1101 17th Street, a 210,451 square-foot commercial asset in Washington D.C., forno consideration. We had discontinued applying the equity method of accounting on this investment in 2018 as we had received cumulative distributions in excess of our cumulative contributions and share of earnings, which reduced our investment tozero. 1101 17th Street was consolidated as of the date of acquisition, and we recorded our investment in the asset at the net carryover basis of our previously held equity investment. We recorded assets of $32.3 million primarily consisting of land, and we recorded liabilities of $32.3 million primarily consisting of $30.4 million related to the estimated fair value of a $60.0 million non-recourse interest-only mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 3.40% and a maturity date of July 14, 2026.

In May 2025, we acquired Tysons Dulles Plaza, a 491,494 square-foot commercial asset in Tysons, Virginia, for $42.3 million, exclusive of $413,000 of transaction costs that were capitalized as part of the acquisition.

During 2023, we paid the deferred purchase price of $19.6 million related to the 2020 acquisition of a development parcel, formerly the Americana hotel.

6. Variable Interest Entities

Unconsolidated VIEs

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had interests in entities deemed to be VIEs. Although we may be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of these investees, we are not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, as we do not hold unilateral power over activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the respective VIE's economic performance. We account for our investment in these entities under the equity method. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the net carrying amounts of our investment in these entities were $79.0 million and $82.0 million, which were included in "Investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures" in our consolidated balance sheets. Our equity in the income of unconsolidated VIEs was included in "Loss from unconsolidated real estate ventures, net" in our consolidated

statements of operations. Our maximum loss exposure in these entities is limited to our investments, construction commitments and debt guarantees. See Note 21 for additional information.

Consolidated VIEs

JBG SMITH LP is our most significant consolidated VIE. We hold 82.0% of the limited partnership interest in JBG SMITH LP, act as the general partner and exercise full responsibility, discretion and control over its day-to-day management. The noncontrolling interests of JBG SMITH LP do not have substantive liquidation rights, substantive kick-out rights without cause or substantive participating rights that could be exercised by a simple majority of noncontrolling interest limited partners (including by such a limited partner unilaterally). Because the noncontrolling interest holders do not have these rights, JBG SMITH LP is a VIE. As general partner, we have the power to direct the activities of JBG SMITH LP that most significantly affect its economic performance, and through our majority interest, we have both the right to receive benefits from and the obligation to absorb losses of JBG SMITH LP. Accordingly, we are the primary beneficiary of JBG SMITH LP and consolidate it in our financial statements. Because we conduct our business through JBG SMITH LP, its total assets and liabilities comprise substantially all of our consolidated assets and liabilities.

Mortgage Loans

The following table summarizes mortgage loans:

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the net carrying value of real estate collateralizing our mortgage loans totaled $1.7 billion and $2.1 billion. Our mortgage loans contain covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness on these properties and, in certain circumstances, require lender approval of tenant leases and/or yield maintenance upon repayment prior to maturity.

In September 2025, in connection with the acquisition of the remaining 45.0% interest in the unconsolidated real estate venture that owned 1101 17th Street, we assumed the related $60.0 million non-recourse interest-only mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 3.40% and a maturity date of July 14, 2026, which was recorded at its estimated fair value of $30.4 million. See Note 3 for additional information. In March 2025, we entered into afive-year interest-only $258.9 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 5.03% collateralized by the Ashley and Potomac buildings at RiverHouse Apartments and repaid the outstanding $307.7 million mortgage loan that was collateralized by the Ashley, Potomac and James buildings. In November 2024, the mortgage loan collateralized by The Grace and Reva was refinanced with afive-year interest-only $273.6 million mortgage loan with a fixed interest rate of 5.19%.

In June 2025, in connection with the sale of WestEnd25, we repaid the related $97.5 million mortgage loan. In February 2025, in connection with the sale of 8001 Woodmont, we repaid the related $99.7 million mortgage loan. In December 2024, in connection with the sale of 2101 L Street, the lender of the related $120.9 million mortgage loan accepted the proceeds from the sale and $6.7 million of cash as repayment of the mortgage loan, resulting in a $9.2 million gain on the extinguishment of debt, which was included in "Gain (loss) on the extinguishment of debt, net" in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. In September 2024, we repaid the $83.3 million mortgage loan collateralized by 201 12th Street S., 200 12th Street S., and 251 18th Street S. In June 2023, we repaid $142.4 million in mortgage loans collateralized by Falkland Chase-South & West and 800 North Glebe Road.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had various interest rate swap and cap agreements on certain of our mortgage loans with an aggregate notional value of $756.0 million and $1.4 billion. See Note 19 for additional information.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loans

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, our unsecured revolving credit facility and term loans totaling $1.5 billion consisted of a $750.0 million revolving credit facility maturing in June 2027, a $200.0 million term loan ("Tranche A-1 Term Loan") maturing in January 2027, as extended in January 2026, a $400.0 million term loan ("Tranche A-2 Term Loan") maturing in January 2028 and a $120.0 million term loan ("2023 Term Loan") maturing in June 2028. We have the option to increase the$750.0 million revolving credit facility or add term loans up to$500.0 million. The revolving credit facility hastwo six-month extension options.

Based on the terms as of December 31, 2025, the interest rate for the credit facility varies based on a ratio of our total outstanding indebtedness to a valuation of certain real property and assets, and ranges (i) in the case of the revolving credit facility, from daily SOFR plus 1.40% to daily SOFR plus 1.85%, (ii) in the case of the Tranche A-1 Term Loan, from one-month term SOFR plus 1.15% to one-month term SOFR plus 1.75%, (iii) in the case of the Tranche A-2 Term Loan, from one-month term SOFR plus 1.25% to one-month term SOFR plus 1.80% and (iv) in the case of the 2023 Term Loan, from one-month term SOFR plus 1.25% to one-month term SOFR plus 1.80%.

The agreements for our unsecured revolving credit facility and term loans include customary restrictive covenants, that, among other things, restrict our ability to incur additional indebtedness, to engage in material asset sales, mergers, consolidations and acquisitions, and in certain circumstances, to pay dividends, make distributions and repurchase common shares, and also include requirements to maintain financial ratios. Our ability to borrow is subject to compliance with these covenants, and failure to comply with our covenants could cause a default, and we may then be required to repay such debt.

The following table summarizes amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility and term loans:

Amortization revenue included in "Property rental revenue" in our consolidated statements of operations related to lease intangible liabilities for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 was $369,000, $408,000 and $1.7 million.

The following table summarizes the estimated amortization of lease intangible liabilities for the next five years and thereafter as of December 31, 2025:

12. Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent such income is distributed to our shareholders annually. The REIT may be subject to federal excise taxes if we engage in certain types of transactions. Continued qualification as a REIT depends on our ability to satisfy the REIT distribution tests, stock ownership requirements and various other qualification tests. We also participate in the activities conducted by our subsidiary entities that have elected to be treated as TRSs under the Code. For each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, we qualified as a REIT and accordingly, we have incurred no federal income tax expense related to our REIT subsidiaries except for our TRSs, which are subject to federal, state and local income taxes on their taxable income.

The net basis of our assets and liabilities for tax reporting purposes is approximately $878.8 million higher than the amounts reported in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2025. We are subject to federal, state and local income tax examinations by taxing authorities for the tax years ending in 2022 through 2025.

The following table summarizes our income tax (expense) benefit:

The following table summarizes our deferred tax assets and liabilities:

The deferred tax assets and liabilities are primarily related to basis differences in intangible assets and other investments, charitable contributions, general and administrative expenses and net operating losses.

13. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

JBG SMITH LP

OP Units held by persons other than JBG SMITH are redeemable for cash or, at our election, our common shares, subject to certain limitations. Vested LTIP Units are redeemable into OP Units. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, unitholders redeemed 1.8 million and 1.0 million OP Units, which we elected to redeem for an equivalent number of our common shares. As of December 31, 2025, outstanding OP Units and redeemable LTIP Units totaled 13.1 million, representing an 18.0% ownership interest in JBG SMITH LP. Our OP Units and certain vested LTIP Units are presented at the higher of their redemption value or their carrying value, with adjustments to the redemption value recognized in "Additional paid-in capital" in our consolidated balance sheets. Redemption value per OP Unit is equivalent to the market value of one of our common shares at the end of the period.

Consolidated Real Estate Venture

In May 2025, we sold a 40.0% noncontrolling interest in a real estate venture that owns West Half, a multifamily asset in Washington, D.C., for $100.0 million. Following this transaction, we retained a 60.0% ownership interest and control of the venture. We accounted for this transaction as an equity transaction and will continue to account for the asset on a consolidated basis. Pursuant to the terms of the venture agreement: (i) operating distributions are made in accordance with ownership percentages and liquidity event distributions are made pursuant to a waterfall structure whereby our venture partner is entitled to a priority return; (ii) we are required to fund all cash flow deficits; (iii) we have the right to cause a sale of the property as long as the proceeds from the sale are sufficient to cover our venture partner’s interest and required return; and (iv) our venture partner has the right, but not the obligation, to cause a sale of the property after the second-year anniversary of closing upon which we can either acquire our venture partner’s interest or market the asset for sale.

Given these rights held by our venture partner, we account for its interest in the venture as a redeemable noncontrolling interest. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect the greater of (i) the initial carrying amount, increased or decreased for the noncontrolling interest’s share of net income (loss) and distributions, or (ii) the redemption value at the balance sheet date. Any adjustments to the carrying amount are recognized in "Additional paid-in capital" in our consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the activity of redeemable noncontrolling interests:

14. Property Rental Revenue

The following table summarizes property rental revenue from our non-cancellable leases:

As of December 31, 2025, the amounts that are contractually due from lease payments under our operating leases on an annual basis for the next five years and thereafter are as follows:

15. Share-Based Payments and Employee Benefits

JBG SMITH 2017 Omnibus Share Plan

On June 23, 2017, our Board of Trustees adopted the JBG SMITH 2017 Omnibus Share Plan (the "Plan"), effective as of July 17, 2017, and authorized the reservation of 10.3 million common shares pursuant to the Plan. In April 2021, our shareholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the common shares reserved for issuance under the Plan by 8.0 million common shares, and in April 2024, our shareholders approved an amendment to the Plan to increase the common shares reserved for issuance under the Plan by 7.5 million common shares to 25.8 million total common shares. As of December 31, 2025, there were 8.0 million common shares available for issuance under the Plan.

Time-Based LTIP Units and LTIP Units

During each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, we granted to certain employees 739,391,974,140 and 979,138 LTIP Units with time-based vesting requirements ("Time-Based LTIP Units") and a weighted average grant-date fair value of $13.59, $15.93 and $17.56 per unit that primarily vest ratably over four years subject to continued employment. The Time-Based LTIP Units granted in 2025 require a three-year post vesting hold for named executive officers. Compensation expense for these units is primarily being recognized over afour-year period.

During each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, we granted 162,301,209,047 and 280,342 fully vested LTIP Units to certain employees, who elected to receive all or a portion of their cash bonuses related to prior service as LTIP Units. The LTIP Units had a grant-date fair value of $12.77, $14.27 and $15.90 per unit. Compensation expense totaling $2.1 million, $3.0 million and $4.5 million for these LTIP Units was recognized during each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024.

During each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, as part of their annual compensation, we granted to non-employee trustees a total of 160,713,141,422 and 155,523 fully vested LTIP Units with a grant-date fair value of $11.66, $12.40 and $11.30 per unit. The LTIP Units may not be sold while a trustee is serving on the Board of Trustees.

The aggregate grant-date fair value of the Time-Based LTIP Units and LTIP Units granted (collectively "Granted LTIPs")

for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 was $14.0 million, $20.3 million and $23.4 million. Holders of the Granted LTIPs have the right to convert vested units into OP Units, which are then subsequently exchangeable for our common shares. Granted LTIPs do not have redemption rights, but any OP Units into which units are converted are entitled to redemption rights. The Granted LTIPs were valued based on the closing common share price on the grant date, less a discount for post-grant restrictions. The discount was determined using Monte Carlo simulations based on the following significant assumptions:

The following table summarizes the Granted LTIPs activity:

The total-grant date fair value of the Granted LTIPs that vested for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 was $19.2 million, $16.1 million and $28.0 million.

Appreciation-Only LTIP Units ("AO LTIP Units")

During each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, we granted to certain employees 549,292,1.9 million and 1.7 million performance-based AO LTIP Units with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $2.69, $3.79 and $3.73 per unit. The AO LTIP Units provide for a share of appreciation determined by the increase in the value of a common share at the time of conversion over the participation threshold of $16.98, $18.93 and $20.83 for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025. The AO LTIP Units are subject to a total shareholder return ("TSR") modifier whereby the number of AO LTIP Units that will ultimately be earned will be increased or reduced by as much as 25%. The AO LTIP Units have athree-year performance period with 50% of the AO LTIP Units earned vesting at the end of thethree-year performance period and the remaining 50% vesting on the fourth anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued employment. The AO LTIP Units granted in 2025 expire on the fifth anniversary of their grant date, and the AO LTIP Units granted in 2024 and 2023 expire on thetenth anniversary of their grant date.

The aggregate grant-date fair value of the AO LTIP Units granted for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 was $1.5 million, $7.1 million and $6.4 million, valued using Monte Carlo simulations based on the following significant assumptions:

The following table summarizes the AO LTIP Units activity:

The total-grant date fair value of the AO LTIP Units that vested for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $3.1 million.

Performance-Based LTIP Units

In January 2025, we issued 957,000 LTIP Units with performance-based vesting requirements ("Performance-Based LTIP Units") to certain employees. The Performance-Based LTIP Units vest at the end of athree-year performance period contingent on our achievement of net operating income ("NOI") targets. Achievement of NOI targets, set and measured annually by the Compensation Committee, may earn based on threshold (25%), target (50%), and maximum (100%) performance levels, based on the average of the performance achieved during thethree-year performance period. While the targets are set and measured annually, the related compensation expense is expected to be recognized beginning in 2027, and the awards vest at the end of the performance period in February 2028 subject to Compensation Committee approval and continued employment. As the performance goals for subsequent years were not set at the time of issuance, the awards are not considered granted for accounting purposes and, therefore, do not have a grant-date fair value. Accordingly, the total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based payment arrangements disclosed below excludes the Performance-Based LTIP Units issued in 2025.

Performance-Based LTIP Units granted in 2021 and 2020 are performance-based equity compensation pursuant to which participants have the opportunity to earn LTIP Units based on the relative performance of the TSR of our common shares compared to the companies in the FTSE Nareit Equity Office Index, over the defined performance period beginning on the grant date, inclusive of dividends and stock price appreciation.

Our Performance-Based LTIP Units granted in July 2021 have asix-year performance andseven-year service period. Compensation expense for these units is being recognized over aseven-year period. Our Performance-Based LTIP Units granted in January 2020 had athree-year performance and afour-year service period. The Performance-Based LTIP Units did not achieve a positive absolute TSR at the end of the performance period, but achieved at least the threshold level of the relative performance criteria. Therefore,50% of the units were forfeited, and the remaining units will vest if and when we achieve a positive TSR during the succeeding seven years, measured at the end of each quarter. Compensation expense for these units was recognized over afour-year period through January 2024.

The following table summarizes the Performance-Based LTIP Units activity, excluding the Performance-Based LTIP Units issued in 2025:

RSUs

During each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, we granted to certain non-executive employees 98,029,74,842 and 78,681 time-based RSUs with a weighted average grant-date fair value of $15.44, $17.21 and $18.94

per unit. Vesting requirements and compensation expense recognition for the RSUs are primarily consistent to those of the Time-Based LTIP Units granted during each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025.

The aggregate grant-date fair value of the RSUs granted during each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 was $1.5 million, $1.3 million and $1.5 million. The RSUs were valued based on the closing common share price on the grant date.

The following table summarizes the RSUs activity:

The aggregate total-grant date fair value of the RSUs that vested for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 was $956,000, $796,000, and $1.1 million.

ESPP

The ESPP authorized the issuance of up to 2.1 million common shares. The ESPP provides eligible employees an option to contribute up to $25,000 in any calendar year, through payroll deductions, toward the purchase of our common shares at a discount of 15.0% of the closing price of a common share on relevant determination dates. As of December 31, 2025, there were 1.6 million common shares available for issuance under the ESPP.

Pursuant to the ESPP, employees purchased 57,951,71,221 and 84,673 common shares for $801,000, $945,000 and $1.1 million during each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, valued using the Black Scholes model based on the following significant assumptions:

Share-Based Compensation Expense

The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense:

As of December 31, 2025, we had $13.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested share-based payment arrangements, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.7 years.

Employee Benefits

We have a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering substantially all of our officers and employees which permits participants to defer compensation up to the maximum amount permitted by law. We provide a discretionary matching contribution. Employer contributions vest afterone year of service. Our contributions for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 were $1.8 million, $1.9 million and $2.3 million.

2026 Grants

In 2026, through the date of this filing, we granted (i)603,614 AO LTIP Units, (ii)1.2 million Time-Based LTIP Units, (iii)95,302 RSUs and (iv)1.5 million Performance-Based LTIP Units to certain employees. Additionally, we granted 237,995 fully vested LTIP Units to certain employees who elected to receive all or a portion of their cash bonus earned related to 2025 service as LTIP Units.

18. Shareholders' Equity and Loss Per Common Share

Common Shares Repurchased

Our Board of Trustees previously authorized the repurchase of up to $1.5 billion of our outstanding common shares. In February 2025, our Board of Trustees increased our common share repurchase authorization to$2.0 billion. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we repurchased and retired 26.8 million common shares for $443.1 million, a weighted average purchase price per share of $16.52. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we repurchased and retired 10.9 million common shares for $170.5 million, a weighted average purchase price per share of $15.60. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased and retired 22.6 million common shares for $334.9 million, a weighted average purchase price per share of $14.83. Since we began the share repurchase program through December 31, 2025, we have repurchased and retired 83.6 million common shares for $1.6 billion, a weighted average purchase price per share of $18.79.

In 2026, through February 13, 2026, we repurchased and retired 647,843 common shares for $10.6 million, a weighted average purchase price per share of $16.41, pursuant to a repurchase plan under Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

Issuance of Class B Shares

Effective October 27, 2025,30.0 million authorized but unissued common shares were reclassified as Class B Shares, and on October 27, 2025, we issued 13.9 million Class B Shares, with a par value of $0.01 per share, to certain LTIP Unit and OP Unit holders. Holders of Class B Shares are entitled to vote on all matters submitted to our shareholders, with common shares and Class B Shares voting as a single class. Class B Shares are automatically cancelled and redeemed upon the redemption of each corresponding OP Unit. Class B Shares are not listed on any national securities exchange, and do not have any economic rights or rights to any dividends, distributions or proceeds upon our liquidation. Similarly, the Class B Shares are excluded from the calculation of earnings (loss) per common share as they do not participate in profits or losses.

In 2026, through the date of this filing, we issued 3.0 million Class B Shares, with a par value of $0.01 per share, to certain LTIP Unit holders in connection with the 2026 equity grants.

Loss Per Common Share

The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted loss per common share and reconciles net loss to the amounts of net loss available to common shareholders used in calculating basic and diluted loss per common share:

The effect of the redemption of OP Units, Time-Based LTIP Units, fully vested LTIP Units and special equity awards that were outstanding as of the end of each period is excluded in the computation of diluted loss per common share as the assumed exchange of such units for common shares on a one-for-one basis was antidilutive (the assumed redemption of these units would have no impact on the determination of diluted loss per share). OP Units, Time-Based LTIP Units, LTIP Units and special equity awards, which are held by noncontrolling interests, are attributed income at an identical proportion to the common shareholders. AO LTIP Units, Performance-Based LTIP Units, Formation Awards and RSUs, which totaled 8.0 million,7.9 million and 6.8 million for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per common share as they were antidilutive, but could be dilutive in the future.

19. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

To manage or hedge our exposure to interest rate risk, we follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of a variety of derivative financial instruments.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had various derivative financial instruments consisting of interest rate swap and cap agreements that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The net unrealized gain (loss) on our derivative financial instruments designated as effective hedges was ($3.6) million and $17.2 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and was recorded in "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" in our consolidated balance sheets, of which a portion was reclassified to "Redeemable noncontrolling interests." Within the next 12 months, we expect to reclassify $1.8 million of the net unrealized loss as an increase to interest expense.

The fair values of the derivative financial instruments are based on the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and observable inputs. The derivative financial instruments are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The following table summarizes assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The fair values of our derivative financial instruments were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the derivative financial instrument. This analysis reflected the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and used observable market-based inputs, including interest rate market data and implied volatilities in such interest rates. While it was determined that the majority of the inputs used to value the derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the derivatives also utilized Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default. However, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of the derivative financial instruments was assessed, and it was determined that these adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of the derivative financial instruments. As a result, it was determined that the derivative financial instruments in their entirety should be classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The net unrealized gains (losses) included in "Other comprehensive loss" in our consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025 were attributable to the net change in unrealized gains (losses) related to effective derivative financial instruments that were outstanding during those periods, none of which were reported in our consolidated statements of operations as the derivative financial instruments were documented and qualified as hedging instruments. Realized and unrealized gains (losses) related to non-designated derivatives are included in "Interest expense" in our consolidated statements of operations.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

Our real estate assets are reviewed for impairment whenever there are changes in circumstances or indicators that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Real estate held for sale is carried at the lower of carrying amounts or estimated fair value less disposal costs.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, this assessment resulted in the impairment of The Batley, 2200 Crystal Drive and a development parcel, which had an estimated fair value totaling $172.5 million based on a market approach and were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The Batley was sold in July 2025. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2025, we recognized an impairment loss of $20.8 million related to our wireless spectrum licenses, which had an estimated fair value of $5.0 million based on a market approach and were classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Impairment losses totaled $65.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2025, which were included in "Impairment loss" in our consolidated statement of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, this assessment resulted in the impairment of 1901 South Bell Street, 2101 L Street, 8001 Woodmont andtwo development parcels, which had an estimated fair value totaling $332.5 million based on a market approach and were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Impairment losses totaled $55.4 million,

which were included in "Impairment loss" in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2024. 2101 L Street was sold in December 2024, and 8001 Woodmont was sold in February 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, this assessment resulted in the impairment ofthree commercial assets andone development parcel. Our estimate of the fair value of 2101 L Street of $121.3 million was determined using a discounted cash flow model and was classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, which considers, among other things, the anticipated holding period, current market conditions and utilizes unobservable quantitative inputs, including capitalization and discount rates. Our estimate of the fair value of 2100 Crystal Drive, 2200 Crystal Drive and a development parcel totaling $56.4 million was based on a market approach and were classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Impairment losses totaled $90.2 million, which were included in "Impairment loss" in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023. The development parcel was sold in December 2023, and 2100 Crystal Drive was sold in December 2025.

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, all financial instruments and liabilities were reflected in our consolidated balance sheets at amounts which, in our estimation, reasonably approximated their fair values, except for the following:

The fair values of the mortgage loans, revolving credit facility and term loans were determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of our mortgage loans is estimated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit profiles based on market sources. The fair value of our revolving credit facility and term loans is calculated based on the net present value of payments over the term of the facilities using estimated market rates for similar notes and remaining terms.

20. Segment Information

We own, operate and develop mixed-use properties concentrated in and around Washington, D.C. We derive our revenue primarily from leases with multifamily and commercial tenants. In addition, our third-party real estate services business provides fee-based real estate services. Our operating segments are aligned with our method of internal reporting and the way our Chief Executive Officer, who is also our Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), makes key operating decisions, evaluates financial results, allocates resources and manages our business. Accordingly, ourthree operating and reportable segments are multifamily, commercial, and third-party real estate services.

The CODM measures and evaluates the performance of our operating segments based on only the following measures at our share pertaining to each of our segments:

The CODM uses these measures predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process as well as in his review of our quarterly financial results when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources to each segment. We have included disclosure of NOI and the results of our third-party real estate services business at our share to align with our internal reporting and the information used by our CODM.

The following tables summarize NOI at our share for our multifamily and commercial segments, including a reconciliation to our total NOI at share:

21. Commitments and Contingencies

Insurance

We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $102.0 million per occurrence and in the aggregate, and property and rental value insurance coverage with limits of $1.0 billion per occurrence, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of our properties. We also maintain coverage, through our wholly owned captive insurance subsidiary, for a portion of the first loss on the above limits and for both conventional terrorist acts and for nuclear, biological, chemical or radiological terrorism events with limits of $2.0 billion per occurrence. These policies are partially reinsured by third-party insurance providers.

We will continue to monitor the state of the insurance market, and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. We cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for deductibles and losses in excess of the insurance coverage, which could be material.

Our debt, consisting of mortgage loans secured by our properties, a revolving credit facility and term loans, contains customary covenants requiring adequate insurance coverage. Although we believe that we currently have adequate insurance coverage, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at a reasonable cost in the future. If

lenders insist on greater coverage than we can obtain, it could adversely affect our ability to finance or refinance our properties.

Construction Commitments

As of December 31, 2025, we have remaining commitments related to Valen, a recently completed multifamily asset, and we are building a new amenity hub at 2011 Crystal Drive that together, based on our current plans and estimates, require an additional $14.8 million to complete, which we anticipate will be primarily expended during the first half of 2026.

Most of our assets have been subject, at some point, to environmental assessments that are intended to evaluate the environmental condition of the subject and surrounding assets. These environmental assessments generally have included a historical review, a public records review, a visual inspection of the site and surrounding assets, visual or historical evidence of underground storage tanks and other features, and the preparation and issuance of a written report. Soil, soil vapor and/or groundwater subsurface testing is conducted at our assets, when necessary, to further investigate any conditions identified by the initial assessment that could reasonably be expected to pose a material concern to the property or result in us incurring material environmental liabilities as a result of redevelopment. The tests may not, however, have included extensive sampling or subsurface investigations. In each case where the environmental assessments have identified conditions requiring remedial actions required by law, we have initiated appropriate actions. The environmental assessments have not revealed any material environmental contamination that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our overall business, financial condition or results of operations, or that have not been anticipated and remediated during site redevelopment as required by law. Nevertheless, there can be no assurance that the identification of new areas of contamination, changes in the extent or known scope of contamination, the discovery of additional sites or changes in cleanup requirements would not result in significant cost to us. Environmental liabilities totaled $17.5 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and are included in "Other liabilities, net" in our consolidated balance sheets.

Legal Proceedings

In November 2023, the District of Columbia filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia against RealPage, Inc., a provider of revenue management systems, numerous multifamily rental companies, and 14 owners and/or operators of multifamily housing in the District of Columbia, including JBG Associates, L.L.C., one of our subsidiaries, alleging that the defendants violated the District of Columbia Antitrust Act by unlawfully agreeing to use RealPage, Inc. revenue management systems and sharing sensitive data. The District of Columbia is seeking monetary damages, equitable relief, attorneys’ fees, interest, and costs. While we intend to vigorously defend against this lawsuit, given the current stage of the District of Columbia’s lawsuit, we are unable to predict the outcome or estimate the amount of loss, if any, that may result from the lawsuit. While we do not believe that these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, we cannot give assurance that the proceedings will not have a material effect on our results of operations or cash flows in the event of a negative outcome.

We, along with multiple other parties, are named defendants in a lawsuit arising out of a condominium development project known as Wardman Tower in Washington, D.C. The lawsuit was filed by the Wardman Tower Residential Condominium Unit Owners Association in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia on November 25, 2020. The lawsuit seeks damages resulting primarily from alleged construction and design deficiencies, alleged misrepresentations and claims alleged under the D.C. Consumer Protection Procedures Act ("CPPA"). The lawsuit seeks$185.0 million in compensatory damages, plus treble damages related to the CPPA claims, and attorney’s fees and costs. The trial began on November 10, 2025. The Wardman Tower project was designed and constructed by other parties and achieved substantial completion prior to our formation. We were not involved in any way with the project but one of our subsidiary entities, that was recently made a defendant in the litigation, had previously entered into a project management agreement with the project owner. We deny liability for the claims asserted and will vigorously defend ourselves against the claims alleged in the litigation. However, no assurance can be given that the matter will be resolved favorably.

There are various other legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the outcome of such matters is not expected to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Our accrual for loss contingencies relating to unresolved legal matters was included in "Other liabilities, net" in our consolidated balance sheet. Actual losses may differ materially from amounts recorded and the ultimate outcome of these legal proceedings is generally not yet determinable.

As of December 31, 2025, we are obligated under non-cancellable operating leases, including our corporate office lease and a ground lease on a property, with terms extending through the year 2037. As of December 31, 2025, our operating lease liabilities were calculated based on the weighted average discount rate of 6.9% and had a weighted average remaining lease term of 11.6 years.

As of December 31, 2025, future minimum lease payments under our non-cancellable operating leases are as follows:

Other

As of December 31, 2025, we had committed tenant-related obligations totaling $35.6 million ($33.1 million related to our consolidated entities and $2.5 million related to our unconsolidated real estate ventures at our share). The timing and amounts of payments for tenant-related obligations are uncertain and may only be due upon satisfactory performance of certain conditions.

From time to time, we (or ventures in which we have an ownership interest) have agreed, and may in the future agree with respect to unconsolidated real estate ventures, to (i) guarantee portions of the principal, interest and other amounts in connection with borrowings, (ii) provide customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) in connection with borrowings, or (iii) provide guarantees to lenders and other third parties for the completion and stabilization of development projects. We customarily have agreements with our outside venture partners whereby the partners agree to reimburse the real estate venture or us for their share of any payments made under certain of these guarantees. At times, we also have agreements with certain of our outside venture partners whereby we agree to either indemnify the partners and/or the associated ventures with respect to certain contingent liabilities associated with operating assets or to reimburse our partner for its share of any payments made by them under certain guarantees. Guarantees (excluding environmental) customarily terminate either upon the satisfaction of specified circumstances or repayment of the underlying debt. Amounts that we may be required to pay in future periods in relation to guarantees associated with budget overruns or operating losses are not estimable. As of December 31, 2025, we hadno principal payment guarantees related to our unconsolidated real estate ventures.

Additionally, with respect to borrowings of our consolidated entities, we may agree to (i) guarantee portions of the principal, interest and other amounts, (ii) provide customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) or (iii) provide guarantees to lenders, tenants and other third parties for the completion and stabilization of development projects. As of December 31, 2025, we hadno debt principal payment guarantees related to our consolidated real estate assets.

As of December 31, 2025, we had unfunded capital commitments totaling $6.4 million related to our investments in real estate-focused technology companies and $1.5 million related to our investments in the WHI Impact Pool and the LEO Impact Housing Fund. See Note 22 for additional information.

22. Transactions with Related Parties

Our third-party real estate services business provides fee-based real estate services to third parties, including the legacy funds formerly organized by JBG (the "JBG Legacy Funds"). In connection with the contribution to us of certain assets formerly owned by the JBG Legacy Funds, the general partner and managing member interests in the JBG Legacy Funds that were held by certain former JBG executives (and who became members of our management team and/or Board of Trustees) were not transferred to us and remain under the control of these individuals. In addition, certain members of our senior management team and Board of Trustees have ownership interests in the JBG Legacy Funds, and own carried interests in each fund and in certain of our real estate ventures that entitle them to receive cash payments if the fund or real estate venture achieves certain return thresholds.

LEO Impact Capital ("LEO"), our workforce housing platform dedicated to acquiring, financing and operating multifamily housing in high impact neighborhoods to preserve affordability for middle-income residents, manages the WHI Impact Pool and the LEO Impact Housing Fund. The WHI Impact Pool completed fundraising in 2020 with capital commitments totaling $114.4 million, which included a commitment from us of $11.2 million. Additionally, LEO had an initial closing of its multi-market fund, the LEO Impact Housing Fund, totaling $43.5 million ($64.5 million including accordions), which included a commitment from us of $1.3 million. As of December 31, 2025, our remaining unfunded commitments totaled $1.5 million.

The third-party real estate services revenue, including expense reimbursements, from the JBG Legacy Funds, the WHI Impact Pool, the LEO Impact Housing Fund and their affiliates was $9.8 million, $13.0 million and $21.3 million for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we had receivables from the JBG Legacy Funds, the WHI Impact Pool, the LEO Impact Housing Fund and their affiliates totaling $951,000 and $2.1 million for such services.

We lease our corporate offices from an unconsolidated real estate venture, in which we have a 20.0% interest, and incurred $5.3 million, $5.4 million and $5.0 million of rent expense for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2025, which was included in "General and administrative expense" in our consolidated statements of operations.

We have agreements with Building Maintenance Services ("BMS"), an entity in which we have a minor preferred interest, to supervise cleaning, engineering and security services at our properties.
