Item 8. Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of Postal Realty Trust, Inc.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Postal Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows, for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 8 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Critical Audit Matter

The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.

Allocation of Purchase Price for Investments in Real Estate – Refer to Note 2 and Note 3 to the financial statements

Critical Audit Matter Description

Upon the acquisition of real estate, the Company allocates the purchase price of the real estate acquired based on the relative fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition. Based on their nature, these acquisitions generally qualify as asset acquisitions. Accordingly, the purchase price paid for assets acquired and liabilities assumed are allocated, based on their relative fair values, to land, building, in-place leases, and other intangible assets and assumed liabilities. Valuation assumptions utilized in determining the relative fair values include comparable sales transactions, costs to replace certain assets, market-based rental revenues, discount rates, and terminal capitalization rates. We identified the allocation of purchase price for investments in real estate as a critical audit matter because of the significant estimates management makes to determine the fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. This required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists, when performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management's assumptions.

How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit

Our audit procedures related to the assessment of the Company’s allocation of purchase price for investments in real estate included the following, among others:

We gained an understanding of the Company’s controls over the review of the purchase price allocation, including controls over the valuation methodology and assumptions for estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed.

We developed a range of independent estimates for the assumptions used in the fair value estimate, including the discount rate, capitalization rate, and market-based rental revenues using external market sources and compared those to the assumptions used by management.

We tested the allocation of the relative fair values to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed by comparing them to the average historical allocations determined by the Company to identify outliers for further investigation.

With the assistance of our fair value specialists, for certain of the acquisitions we tested, we:

–Evaluated the reasonableness of the valuation and allocation methodology and related assumptions used by management, including discount rates, capitalization rates, market-based rental revenues, costs to replace certain assets and comparable sales transactions.

–Tested the mathematical accuracy of the calculations and compared the key inputs used in the projections to external market sources.
