Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited)
1. Organization and Basis of Presentation
The information contained in the following notes to the consolidated financial statements is condensed from that which would appear in the annual consolidated financial statements; accordingly, the consolidated financial statements included herein should be reviewed in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, and related notes thereto, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K of Easterly Government Properties, Inc. (the “Company”) for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 25, 2025.
The Company is a Maryland corporation that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2015. The operations of the Company are carried out primarily through Easterly Government Properties LP (the “Operating Partnership”) and the wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. As used herein, the “Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our” refer to Easterly Government Properties, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships, including the Operating Partnership, except where context otherwise requires.
We are an internally managed REIT, focused primarily on the acquisition, development and management of Class A commercial properties that are leased to U.S. Government agencies that serve essential functions. We generate over 90% of our revenue by leasing our properties to such agencies, either directly or through the U.S. General Services Administration (“GSA”). Our objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders over the long-term through dividends and capital appreciation.
We focus primarily on acquiring, developing and managing U.S. Government leased properties that are essential to supporting the mission of the tenant agency and strive to be a partner of choice for the U.S. Government, working closely with the tenant agency to meet its needs and objectives. We may also consider other potential opportunities to add properties to our portfolio, including acquiring properties leased to state and local governments with strong creditworthiness and other opportunities that directly or indirectly support the mission of select government agencies. As of March 31, 2025, we wholly owned 90 operating properties and ten operating properties through an unconsolidated joint venture (the “JV”) in the United States, encompassing approximately 9.7 million leased square feet, including 92 operating properties that were leased primarily to U.S. Government tenant agencies, four operating properties leased to tenant agencies of a U.S. state or local government and three operating properties that were entirely leased to private tenants. As of March 31, 2025, our operating properties were 97% leased. For purposes of calculating percentage leased, we exclude from the denominator total square feet that was unleased and to which we attributed no value at the time of acquisition. In addition, we wholly owned two properties under development that we expect will encompass approximately 0.2 million leased square feet upon completion.
The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of our assets and conducts substantially all of our business. We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owned approximately 95.4% of the aggregate limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“common units”) as of March 31, 2025. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT and believe that we have operated and have been organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015.
Reverse Stock Split
On April 28, 2025, we effected a 1-for-2.5 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock, which reverse stock split was previously approved by our Board of Directors (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result, every 2.5 shares of issued and outstanding common stock were consolidated into 1 share. The par value of the common stock remained unchanged at $0.01 per share. Concurrently with the Reverse Stock Split, the Operating Partnership completed a corresponding 1-for-2.5 reverse unit split of outstanding common units and LTIP units (the “Reverse Unit Split”). All share and per share amounts, including earnings per share, in these financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025 from 111,756,225 to 44,702,490. For additional information, see Note 9 Equity Incentive Plan, Note 10 Equity and Note 11 Earnings Per Share.
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company,
Easterly Government Properties TRS, LLC, Easterly Government Services, LLC, the Operating Partnership and its other subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein are unaudited; however, they include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to state fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The results of operations for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the balance sheet, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, including the impact of extraordinary events, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative (“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 adds interim and annual disclosure requirements to GAAP at the request of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The guidance in ASU 2023-06 is required to be applied prospectively and the GAAP requirements will be effective when the removal of the related SEC disclosure requirements is effective. If the SEC does not act to remove its related requirement by June 30, 2027, any related FASB amendments will be removed from the ASC and will not be effective. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2023-06 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The standard is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. We do not anticipate that the adoption of ASU 2023-09 will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. ASU 2024-03 requires expanded interim and annual disclosures of certain expense information in the notes to the consolidated financial statements. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance can be applied on a prospective or retrospective basis. We are currently evaluating the potential impact of adopting this new guidance on our consolidated financial statement disclosures.

The following is a summary of our investment in the JV (dollars in thousands):
As of March 31,
Joint Venture
Ownership Interest
MedBase Venture
53.0%
On October 13, 2021, we formed an unconsolidated real estate venture, which we refer to as the JV, with a global investor to fund the acquisition of a portfolio of ten properties that encompasses 1,214,165 leased square feet (the “VA Portfolio”). We own a 53.0% interest in the JV, subject to preferred allocations as provided in the JV agreement. We have joint approval rights with our JV partner on major decisions, including those regarding property operations. As such, we hold a non-controlling interest in the joint venture and account for the JV under the equity method of accounting.
5. Real Estate Loan Receivable
On August 6, 2024, we entered into a construction loan agreement to lend up to $52.1 million to a developer (the “Borrower”). The construction loan will accrue interest monthly at a fixed market rate of 9.00% per annum. The construction loan shall be re-paid in full on or before August 31, 2027, the maturity date. Upon completion of the development, we have the option to purchase at fair value all of the issued and outstanding membership interest from the Borrower in a special purpose entity (“SPE”) which solely holds the developed property. We hold a variable interest in the SPE, but we do not consolidate the SPE as we are not the primary beneficiary due to the lack of power to direct significant activities performed by the SPE.
On April 1, 2025, the Borrower repaid $15.0 million of the construction loan outstanding upon substantial completion of the development and receipt of the lump sum reimbursement from the government. On April 15, 2025, we declined the option to purchase, at the stated price, all of the issued and outstanding membership interest from the Borrower.
A summary of our real estate loan receivable consisted of the following (dollars in thousands):

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized interest income from our real estate loan receivable of $0.9 million. No interest income was recognized from real estate loan receivables during the three months ended March 31, 2024. Interest income from our real estate loan receivable is included within Other income on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of March 31, 2025, we recognized an allowance for credit loss liability of less than $0.1 million for the undrawn capacity on the construction loan. Allowance for credit loss liability is included within Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The fair value of this real estate loan receivable was approximately $45.4 million as of March 31, 2025.

2025 Senior Note Agreement
On March 20, 2025, we entered into a master note purchase agreement pursuant to which the Operating Partnership agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of up to $125 million of fixed rate, senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes”) consisting of (i) 6.13% 2025 Series A Senior Notes due March 20, 2030 (“2025 series A senior notes”), in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million, and (ii) 6.33% 2025 Series B Senior Notes due March 20, 2032 (“2025 series B senior notes”), in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million.

As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants related to our debt.
7. Derivatives and Hedging Activities
The following table sets forth the key terms and fair values of our interest rate swap derivatives, each of which was designated as a cash flow hedge as of March 31, 2025. We entered into these interest rate swap derivatives to reduce our exposure to the variability in future cash flows attributable to changes in our floating rate debt (amounts in thousands):

Treasury Locks
On January 29, 2025, we entered into a treasury lock agreement designated as a cash flow hedge to fix the seven-year Treasury rate at 4.43% for $50.0 million of notional value related to the 2025 series B senior notes issued on March 20, 2025. The treasury lock agreement was terminated and settled on March 5, 2025 and we recognized a $1.1 million loss in other comprehensive income. The loss in other comprehensive income is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2025 series B senior note.
On February 6, 2025, we entered into a treasury lock agreement designated as a cash flow hedge to fix the seven-year Treasury rate at 4.36% for $50.0 million of notional value related to the 2025 series B senior notes issued on March 20, 2025. The treasury lock agreement was terminated and settled on March 5, 2025 and we recognized a $0.9 million loss in other comprehensive income. The loss in other comprehensive income is being amortized to interest expense over the life of the 2025 series B senior note.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The gains or losses on derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and will be reclassified to interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transactions affect earnings on our variable rate debt.
We estimate that $0.4 million will be reclassified from AOCI as a net decrease to interest expense over the next 12 months.
The table below presents the effects of our interest rate derivatives on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) (amounts in thousands):

Credit-Risk-Related Contingent Features
We have agreements with each of our derivative counterparties that contain a provision where we could be declared in default on our derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to our default on such indebtedness. As of March 31, 2025, the net fair value of derivatives in a liability position, which includes accrued interest, related to
12
agreements with our derivative counterparties was $1.2 million. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had not breached any provisions of these agreements and had not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company were to breach any such provisions of these agreements, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $1.2 million.
8. Fair Value Measurements
Accounting standards define fair value as the exit price, or the amount that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standards also establish a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are inputs market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from sources independent of us. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The hierarchy of these inputs is broken down into three levels: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Categorization within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is most significant to the fair value measurement.
Recurring fair value measurements
The fair values of our interest rate swaps are determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis, on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities in such interest rates. While we determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. We have determined that the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments made to our derivative contracts, which determination was based on the fair value of each individual contract, was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, all of our derivatives held as of March 31, 2025 were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, other assets (excluding our real estate loan receivable) and accounts payable and accrued expenses are reasonable estimates of fair values because of the short maturities of these instruments. The fair value of our real estate loan receivable, as disclosed in Note 5, is based on the discounted estimated future cash flows of the loan (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); the discount rates used approximate current market rates for loans with similar maturities and credit quality, and the estimated cash payments include scheduled principal and interest payments. The table below presents our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2025, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (amounts in thousands):
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
For our disclosure of debt fair values, we estimated the fair value of our 2016 term loan facility, our 2018 term loan facility and our 2024 revolving credit facility based on the variable interest rate and credit spreads (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy) and estimated the fair value of our other debt based on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt (categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy); the discount rates used approximate current market rates for loans, or groups of loans, with similar maturities and credit quality, and the estimated future payments included scheduled principal and interest payments. Fair value estimates are made as of a specific point in time, are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Settlement at such fair value amounts may not be possible and may not be a prudent management decision.

9. Equity Incentive Plan
The following is a summary of our stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively:
Stock-based compensation expense, net
Stock-based compensation expense is included within corporate general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Upon the Reverse Stock Split becoming effective on April 28, 2025, the total number of common shares available for issuance under the 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2024 Plan”) was adjusted from 3,600,000 to 1,440,000.
On January 2, 2025, we granted an aggregate of 160,368 performance-based LTIP units (adjusted for the Reverse Unit Split) to members of management pursuant to the 2024 Plan, consisting of (i) 85,372 LTIP units that are subject to us achieving certain total shareholder return performance thresholds (on both an absolute and relative basis) and (ii) 74,996 LTIP units that are subject to us achieving certain operational performance hurdles, in each case through a performance period ending on December 31, 2027. The performance-based LTIP will vest to the extent earned following the end of the performance period on December 31, 2027. On January 2, 2025, we also granted an aggregate of 129,561 service-based LTIP units (adjusted for the Reverse Unit Split) to members of management pursuant to the 2024 Plan, which will vest on December 31, 2027. The LTIP units are subject to the grantee's continued employment and the other terms of the awards.
Pursuant to the 2024 Plan, the significant assumptions used to value the performance-based LTIP units using a Monte Carlo Simulation (risk-neutral approach) include expected volatility (25.0%), dividend yield (7.8%), risk-free interest rate (4.3%) and expected life (3 years).

(1) Prior to the end of the performance period as set forth in the applicable LTIP unit award, holders of performance-based LTIP units are entitled to receive dividends per LTIP unit equal to 10% of the dividend paid per common unit. After the end of the performance period, the number of LTIP units, both vested and unvested, that LTIP award recipients have earned, if any, are entitled to receive dividends in an amount per LTIP unit equal to dividends, both regular and special, payable per common unit. Holders of LTIP units that are not subject to the attainment of performance goals are entitled to receive dividends per LTIP unit equal to 100% of the dividend paid per common unit beginning on the grant date.
ATM Programs
We entered into separate equity distribution agreements on each of December 20, 2019 (the “2019 ATM Program”) and June 22, 2021 (the “2021 ATM Program” and, together with the 2019 ATM Program, the “ATM Programs”) with various financial institutions pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million under each ATM Program from time to time in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Under each of the ATM Programs, we may enter into one or more forward transactions (each, a “forward sale transaction”) under separate master forward sale confirmations and related supplemental confirmations with each of the various financial institutions party to the respective ATM Program for the sale of shares of our common stock on a forward basis.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to issuances under the 2021 ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (amounts in thousands except share amounts):

(1) Share amounts have been retrospectively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Shares issued by us, which were all issued in settlement of forward sale transactions. As of March 31, 2025, we had 117,507 unsettled shares of our outstanding forward sale transactions under the 2021 ATM Program. We accounted for the forward sale transactions as equity.
As of March 31, 2025, we had approximately $258.5 million of gross sales of our common stock available under the 2021 ATM Program and $15.4 million of gross sales of common stock available under the 2019 ATM Program.
On April 24, 2025, we settled 202,721 shares inclusive of the 117,507 unsettled shares (adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split) as of March 31, 2025 under our 2021 ATM Program and received $5.3 million of net proceeds. We accounted for the forward sale transactions as equity.
Share Repurchase Program
On April 28, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program whereby we may repurchase up to 1,815,597 shares of our common stock (adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split), or approximately 5% of our outstanding shares as of the original authorization date. We are not required to purchase shares under the share repurchase program, but may choose to do so in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at times and amounts based on our evaluation of market conditions and other factors.
No repurchases of shares of our common stock were made under the share repurchase program during the three months ended March 31, 2025.
11. Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings or loss per share of common stock (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average shares of common stock outstanding for the periods presented. Diluted EPS is computed after adjusting the basic EPS computation for the effect of dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the periods presented. Unvested restricted shares of common stock and unvested LTIP units are considered participating securities, which require the use of the two-class method for the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share.
The following table sets forth the computation of our basic and diluted earnings per share of common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 and has been retroactively adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split, see Note 1 Organization and Basis of Presentation (amounts in thousands, except per share amounts):

12. Leases
Lessor
We lease commercial space to the U.S. Government through the GSA or other federal agencies or nongovernmental tenants. These leases may contain extension options that are predominately at the sole discretion of the tenant. Certain of our leases contain a “soft-term” period of the lease, meaning that the U.S. Government tenant agency has the right to terminate the lease prior to its stated lease end date. While certain of our leases are contractually subject to early termination, we do not believe that our tenant agencies are likely to terminate these leases early given the build-to-suit features at the properties subject to the leases, the weighted average age of these properties based on the date the property was built or renovated-to-suit, where applicable (approximately 19.8 years as of March 31, 2025), the mission-critical focus of the properties subject to the leases and the current level of operations at such properties. Certain lease agreements include variable lease payments that, in the future, will vary based on changes in inflationary measures, real estate tax rates, usage, or share of expenditures of the leased premises.
The table below sets forth our composition of lease revenue recognized between fixed and variable components (amounts in thousands):

On March 12, 2025, the Company was awarded a 20-year non-cancelable lease for a 40,035 square foot Federal District and Federal Magistrate Courthouse in Medford, Oregon (“JUD - Medford”). Closing of the acquisition of the underlying property to be redeveloped is subject to customary closing conditions.
Lessee
We lease corporate office space under operating lease arrangements in Washington, D.C. and San Diego, CA. The leases include variable lease payments that, in the future, will vary based on changes in real estate tax rates, usage, or share of expenditures of the leased premises. We have elected not to separate lease and non-lease components for our corporate office leases.
As of March 31, 2025, the unamortized balances associated with our right-of-use operating lease asset and operating lease liability were both $2.1 million. We used our incremental borrowing rate, which was arrived at utilizing prevailing market rates and the spread on our revolving credit facility, in order to determine the net present value of the minimum lease payments.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance in Accounts receivable related to tenant construction projects and the associated project management income was $7.1 million and $8.1 million, respectively.
The duration of the majority of tenant construction project reimbursement arrangements is less than a year and payment is typically due once a project is complete and work has been accepted by the tenant. There were no projects on-going as of March 31, 2025 with a duration of greater than one year.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized $0.2 million in parking garage income. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized $0.1 million in parking garage income. The monthly and transient daily parking revenue falls within the scope of Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”) and is accounted for at the point in time when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer and our performance obligation is satisfied. As of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance in Accounts receivable related to parking garage income was less than $0.1 million.
There were no contract assets or liabilities as of March 31, 2025 or December 31, 2024.
14. Concentrations Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise for us when multiple of our tenants are engaged in similar business activities, are located in the same geographic region or have similar economic features that impact in a similar manner their ability to meet contractual obligations, including obligations owed to us. We regularly monitor our tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk.
18
As stated in Note 1 above, we lease commercial space to the U.S. Government or non-governmental tenants. At March 31, 2025, the U.S. Government accounted for approximately 93.4% of our total annualized lease income, state and local government tenants accounted for approximately 3.2% of our annualized lease income and non-governmental tenants accounted for the remaining approximately 3.4%.
Eighteen of our 100 wholly-owned and unconsolidated operating properties are located in California, accounting for approximately 14.1% of our total leased square feet and approximately 18.7% of our total annualized lease income as of March 31, 2025. To the extent that weak economic or real estate conditions or natural disasters affect California more severely than other areas of the country, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be significantly impacted.
15. Segment Information
During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our operations are reported within one reportable and operating segment in the consolidated financial statements and all of our properties are included within this single reportable and operating segment (the “segment”).
Our chief operating decision makers (“CODMs”) include our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer as they are responsible for allocating resources, assessing performance and determining appropriate operating segments.
The CODMs assess performance for the segment and decide how to allocate resources based on net income, which is reported on our Consolidated Statements of Operations as Net Income. The Consolidated Statements of Operations, inclusive of significant expenses, are provided to the CODMs for performance assessment. The CODMs use net income to evaluate income generated from our properties when deciding whether to reinvest profits into our assets or into other parts of the entity, such as for acquisitions or dividend payments. Net income is also used to monitor budgeted versus actual results. The CODMs also use net income in competitive analysis by benchmarking to our competitors. The competitive analysis, along with the monitoring of budgeted versus actual results, is used to assess the segment performance and to establish employee and management compensation.
The measure of segment assets is reported on our Consolidated Balance Sheets as Total Assets. The accounting policies of the segment are the same as those described in our Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.
16. Related Parties
We have reimbursement arrangements with entities controlled by our Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chairman, which provide for reimbursement of costs paid on our behalf, or those we pay on their behalf. During both the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we were responsible for reimbursing costs of $0.1 million and received reimbursement for costs of less than $0.1 million.
We provide asset management services to properties owned by the JV. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized Asset management income of $0.6 million and reimbursement for certain costs that we paid on their behalf of $0.6 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recognized Asset management income of $0.6 million and reimbursement for certain costs that we paid on their behalf of $0.4 million.
As of March 31, 2025, receivables from related parties were $0.3 million which was included within prepaid expenses and other assets on our balance sheet. As of March 31, 2025, there were no Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities owed to related parties.
17. Subsequent Events
For our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2025, we evaluated subsequent events and noted the following significant events.
On April 3, 2025, we acquired a 289,873 square foot facility leased primarily to the District of Columbia Government with a lease through February 2038.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We caution investors that forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs and on assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words “anticipate”, “believe”, “estimate”, “expect”, “intend”, “may”, “might”, “plan”, “potential”, “project”, “result”, “seek”, “should”, “target”, “will”, and similar expressions which do not relate solely to historical matters are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update our forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, among others, the following:
For a further discussion of these and other factors that could affect us and the statements contained herein, see the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as may be supplemented or amended from time to time.
Overview
References to “we,” “our,” “us” and “the Company” refer to Easterly Government Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, including Easterly Government Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to herein as the “Operating Partnership.” We present certain financial information and metrics “at Easterly Share,” which is calculated on an entity-by-entity basis. “At Easterly Share” information, which we also refer to as being “at share,” “pro rata,” “our pro rata share” or “our share” is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).
We are an internally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), focused primarily on the acquisition, development and management of Class A commercial properties that are leased to U.S. Government agencies that serve essential functions. We generate over 90% of our revenue by leasing our properties to such agencies, either directly or through the U.S. General Services Administration (“GSA”). Our objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders over the long term through dividends and capital appreciation.
We focus primarily on acquiring, developing and managing U.S. Government-leased properties that are essential to supporting the mission of the tenant agency and strive to be a partner of choice for the U.S. Government, working closely with the tenant agency to meet its needs and objectives. We continue to pursue opportunities to add properties to our portfolio, including acquiring properties leased to state and local governments with strong creditworthiness and other opportunities that directly or indirectly support the mission of select government agencies. As of March 31, 2025, we wholly owned 90 operating properties and ten operating properties through an unconsolidated joint venture (the “JV”) in the United States, encompassing approximately 9.7 million leased square feet (9.2 million pro rata), including 92 operating properties that were leased primarily to U.S. Government tenant agencies, four operating properties leased to tenant agencies of a U.S. state or local government and three operating properties that were entirely leased to private tenants. As of March 31, 2025, our operating properties were 97% leased. For purposes of calculating percentage leased, we exclude from the denominator total square feet that was unleased and to which we attributed no value at the time of acquisition. In addition, we wholly owned two properties under development that we expect will encompass approximately 0.2 million leased square feet upon completion.
The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of our assets and conducts substantially all of our business. We are the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and owned approximately 95.4% of the aggregate limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, which we refer to herein as common units, as of March 31, 2025. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT and believe that we have operated and have been organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015.
On April 28, 2025, we effected a 1-for-2.5 reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock, which reverse stock split was previously approved by our Board of Directors (the “Reverse Stock Split”). As a result, every 2.5 shares of issued and outstanding common stock were consolidated into 1 share. The par value of the common stock remained unchanged at $0.01 per share. Concurrently with the Reverse Stock Split, the Operating Partnership completed a corresponding 1-for-2.5 reverse unit split of outstanding common units and LTIP units (the “Reverse Unit Split”). All share and per share amounts, including earnings per share, in these financial statements have been retrospectively adjusted for all periods presented to reflect the Reverse Stock Split. Accordingly, the Reverse Stock Split reduced the number of shares outstanding as of March 31, 2025 from 111,756,225 to 44,702,490. For additional information, see Note 9, Note 10 and Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating Properties
As of March 31, 2025, our operating properties were 97% leased with a weighted average annualized lease income per leased square foot of $35.59 ($35.22 pro rata) and a weighted average age of approximately 15.9 years based on the date the property was built or renovated-to-suit, where applicable. We calculate annualized lease income as annualized contractual base rent for the last month in a specified period, plus the annualized straight line rent adjustments for the last month in such period and the annualized net expense reimbursements earned by us for the last month in such period.
The table set forth below shows information relating to the properties we owned, or in which we had an ownership interest, at March 31, 2025, and it includes properties held by the JV:

Certain of our leases are currently in the “soft-term” period of the lease, meaning that the U.S. Government tenant agency has the right to terminate the lease prior to its stated lease end date. We believe that, from the U.S. Government’s perspective, leases with such provisions are helpful for budgetary purposes. While some of our leases are contractually subject to early termination, we do not believe that our tenant agencies are likely to terminate these leases early given the build-to-suit features at the properties subject to the leases, the weighted average age of these properties based on the date the property was built or renovated-to-suit, where applicable (approximately 19.8 years as of March 31, 2025), the mission-critical focus of the properties subject to the leases and the current level of operations at such properties.
The following table sets forth a schedule of lease expirations for leases in place (including for wholly owned properties and properties held by the JV) as of March 31, 2025:

Total revenues increased $5.9 million to $78.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $72.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The $4.8 million increase in Rental income is primarily attributable to the nine operating properties acquired since March 31, 2024.
The less than $0.1 million increase in tenant reimbursements is primarily attributable to an increase in tenant project reimbursement.
The $0.1 million increase in Asset management income is primarily attributable to the fee earned by us for asset management of the JV from the one property acquired since March 31, 2024.
The $1.0 million increase in Other income is primarily attributable to an increase in interest income.
27
Total expenses increased $3.3 million to $58.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $55.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
The $1.2 million increase in Property operating expenses is primarily attributable to the nine operating properties acquired since March 31, 2024.
The $0.3 million decrease in Real estate taxes is primarily attributable to a decrease in real estate taxes for various properties within our portfolio offset by the nine operating properties acquired since March 31, 2024.
The $3.0 million increase in Depreciation and amortization is primarily attributable to the nine operating properties acquired since March 31, 2024.
The $0.2 million decrease in Corporate general and administrative is primarily due to a decrease in employee costs and non-cash compensation.
The $0.2 million decrease in Recovery of credit losses is primarily due to a downward adjustment to our credit loss allowance for a change in market conditions.
The $0.4 million increase in Income from unconsolidated real estate venture is primarily attributable to the one operating property acquired by the JV since March 31, 2024.
The $4.5 million increase in Interest expense, net is primarily attributable to the fixed rate senior unsecured notes entered into since March 31, 2024.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We anticipate that our cash flows from the sources listed below will provide adequate capital for the next 12 months for all anticipated uses, including all scheduled principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, current and anticipated tenant improvements, development activities at FDA – Atlanta and JUD – Flagstaff, planned and possible acquisitions of properties, stockholder distributions to maintain our qualification as a REIT, potential repurchases of common stock under our share repurchase program and other capital obligations associated with conducting our business. At March 31, 2025, we had approximately $8.5 million available in cash and cash equivalents, $9.0 million of restricted cash and there was approximately $244.8 million available under our 2024 revolving credit facility.
Our primary expected sources of capital are as follows:
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for the following:
Our long-term liquidity needs, in addition to recurring short-term liquidity needs as discussed above, consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, non-recurring capital expenditures, and scheduled debt maturities. Although we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain of our liquidity needs, unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which affect our financial condition and results of operations may arise, or our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or required. As of the date of this filing, there were no known commitments or events that would have a material impact on our liquidity.
We entered into separate equity distribution agreements on each of December 20, 2019 (the “2019 ATM Program”) and June 22, 2021 (the “2021 ATM Program” and, together with the 2019 ATM Program, the “ATM Programs”) with various financial institutions pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million under each ATM Program from time to time in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Under each of the ATM Programs, we may enter into one or more forward transactions (each, a “forward sale transaction”) under separate master forward sale confirmations and related supplemental confirmations with each of the various financial institutions party to the respective ATM Program for the sale of shares of our common stock on a forward basis.
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to issuances under the 2021 ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (amounts in thousands, except share amounts):
29
On April 28, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program whereby we may repurchase up to 1,815,597 shares of our common stock (adjusted for the Reverse Stock Split), or approximately 5% of our outstanding shares as of the original authorization date. We are not required to purchase shares under the share repurchase program but may choose to do so in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at times and amounts based on our evaluation of market conditions and other factors.

Debt
Indebtedness Outstanding
The following table sets forth certain information with respect to our outstanding indebtedness as of March 31, 2025 (amounts in thousands):

On March 20, 2025, we entered into a master note purchase agreement pursuant to which the Operating Partnership agreed to issue and sell an aggregate of up to $125 million of fixed rate, senior unsecured notes (“Senior Notes”) consisting of (i) 6.13% 2025 Series A Senior Notes due March 20, 2030 (“2025 series A senior notes”), in an aggregate principal amount of $25.0 million, and (ii) 6.33% 2025 Series B Senior Notes due March 20, 2032 (“2025 series B senior notes”), in an aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million. The Senior Notes were issued on March 20, 2025. We, together with various subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership, have guaranteed the series A senior notes and the series B senior notes.
Our 2024 revolving credit facility, term loan facilities, notes payable, and mortgage notes payable are subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial and other covenants. As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants.
The chart below details our debt capital structure as of March 31, 2025 (dollar amounts in thousands):

Material Cash Commitments
As of March 31, 2025, we have a commitment through a loan receivable of $52.1 million of which the outstanding balance of the loan receivable was $43.2 million .
On April 1, 2025, the Borrower of the Real estate loan receivable paid off approximately $15.0 million of the outstanding balance of the loan reducing our total commitment. As of the date of this filing the net funded amount of the outstanding loan receivable was $29.8 million and our remaining obligation to fund was $7.3 million. We expect to fund the remaining commitment through the anticipated maturity of the loan on August 31, 2027, dependent on the borrower's election to use the commitments. For a more complete description of the real estate loan receivable, see Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Other than as described above, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no material changes to the cash commitment information presented in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling interest or are the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity. From time to time, we may have off-balance sheet unconsolidated real estate ventures and other unconsolidated arrangements with varying structures.
As of March 31, 2025, we had invested $314.5 million in the JV. As of March 31, 2025, we had committed capital, net of return of over committed capital, to the JV totaling $332.9 million and had a remaining commitment of $8.5 million available. None of the properties owned by the JV are encumbered by mortgage indebtedness.
For a more complete description of the JV, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Dividend Policy
In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute to our stockholders, on an annual basis, at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. We anticipate distributing all of our taxable income. We expect to make quarterly distributions to our stockholders in a manner intended to satisfy this requirement. Prior to making any distributions for U.S. federal tax purposes or otherwise, we must first satisfy our operating and debt service obligations. It is possible that it would be necessary to utilize cash reserves, liquidate assets at unfavorable prices or incur additional indebtedness in order to make required distributions. It is also possible that our Board of Directors could decide to make required distributions in part by using shares of our common stock.
A summary of dividends declared by the Board of Directors per share of common stock and per common unit (as adjusted to reflect the Reverse Stock Split and Reverse Unit Split) at the date of record is as follows:
Inflation
Substantially all of our leases provide for operating expense escalations. We believe inflationary increases in expenses may be at least partially offset by the operating expenses that are passed through to our tenants and by contractual rent increases. We do not believe inflation has had a material impact on our historical financial position or results of operations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use and present Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Core FFO as supplemental measures of our performance. The summary below describes our use of FFO and Core FFO and provides information regarding why we believe these measures are meaningful supplemental measures of our performance and reconciles these measures from net income, presented in accordance with GAAP.
34
Funds From Operations and Core Funds From Operations
FFO is a supplemental measure of our performance. We present FFO calculated in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) definition set forth in the Nareit FFO White Paper – Restatement 2018. FFO includes the REIT’s share of FFO generated by unconsolidated affiliates. In addition, we present Core FFO for certain other adjustments that we believe enhance the comparability of our FFO across periods and to the FFO reported by other publicly traded REITs. FFO is a supplemental performance measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry to assist investors and analysts in comparing results of REITs.
FFO is defined by Nareit as net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding:
We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance, and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting results.
We adjust FFO to present Core FFO as an alternative measure of our operating performance, which, when applicable, excludes items which we believe are not representative of ongoing operating results, such as liability management related costs (including losses on extinguishment of debt and modification costs), catastrophic event charges, depreciation of non-real estate assets, recovery of credit losses and the unconsolidated real estate venture's allocated share of these adjustments. In future periods, we may also exclude other items from Core FFO that we believe may help investors compare our results. We believe Core FFO more accurately reflects the ongoing operational and financial performance of our core business.
FFO and Core FFO are presented as supplemental financial measures and do not fully represent our operating performance. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO and Core FFO or use other definitions of FFO and Core FFO and, accordingly, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to other REITs. Neither FFO nor Core FFO is intended to be a measure of cash flow or liquidity. Please refer to our financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net income to FFO and Core FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (amounts in thousands):

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base these estimates, judgments, and assumptions on historical
35
experience, current trends, and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, or different assumptions were made, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, resulting in different financial results or a different presentation of our financial statements.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 contains a discussion of our significant accounting policies, which utilize relevant critical accounting estimates. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, there were no material changes to the discussion of our significant accounting policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Our primary market risk results from our indebtedness, which bears interest at both fixed and variable rates. We manage and may continue to manage our market risk on variable rate debt by entering into swap arrangements to, in effect, fix the rate on all or a portion of the debt for varying periods up to maturity. This in turn, reduces the risks of variability of cash flows created by variable rate debt and mitigates the risk of increases in interest rates. Our objective when undertaking such arrangements is to reduce our floating rate exposure and we do not intend to enter into hedging arrangements for speculative purposes. For more information on our interest rate swaps, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of March 31, 2025, $1.5 billion, or 92.0% of our debt, excluding unamortized premiums and discounts, had fixed interest rates and $129.6 million, or 8.0%, had variable interest rates based on SOFR. If market interest rates on our variable rate debt fluctuate by 25 basis points, our interest expense would increase or decrease, depending on rate movement, by $0.3 million annually.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We carried out an evaluation required by the Exchange Act, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a -15(e) and Rule 15d-15 of the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2025. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of March 31, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and to provide reasonable assurance that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
