1. Organization
Alexander’s, Inc. (NYSE: ALX) is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), incorporated in Delaware, engaged in leasing, managing, developing and redeveloping its properties. All references to “we,” “us,” “our,” “Company” and “Alexander’s” refer to Alexander’s, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. We are managed by, and our properties are leased and developed by, Vornado Realty Trust (“Vornado”) (NYSE: VNO). We have five properties in New York City.
2. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are unaudited and include the accounts of Alexander’s and its consolidated subsidiaries. All adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and changes in cash flows have been made. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC.
We have made estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
We operate in one reportable segment.
3. Recently Issued Accounting Literature
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 aims to improve reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss. The update also requires disclosure regarding the chief operating decision maker and expands the interim segment disclosure requirements. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-07 on our consolidated financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires entities to disclose additional information with respect to the effective tax rate reconciliation and to disclose the disaggregation by jurisdiction of income tax expense and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2023-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

The following is a summary of revenue sources for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30,
(Amounts in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023

Tenant services 919 1,047 1,840 1,856
Rental revenues $ 53,392 $ 53,673 $ 114,789 $ 106,614
The components of lease revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30,
(Amounts in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023
Fixed lease revenues $ 34,400 $ 34,839 $ 76,934 $ 69,563
Variable lease revenues 16,888 16,673 33,700 32,985
Lease revenues $ 51,288 $ 51,512 $ 110,634 $ 102,548
Bloomberg L.P. (“Bloomberg”) accounted for revenue of $ 60,946,000 and $ 59,177,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing approximately 53 % and 56 % of our rental revenues in each period, respectively. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of our rental revenues. If we were to lose Bloomberg as a tenant, or if Bloomberg were to be unable to fulfill its obligations under its lease, it would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition. In order to assist us in our continuing assessment of Bloomberg’s creditworthiness, we receive certain confidential financial information and metrics from Bloomberg. In addition, we access and evaluate financial information regarding Bloomberg from other private sources, as well as publicly available data.
On May 3, 2024, Alexander’s and Bloomberg entered into an agreement to extend the leases covering approximately 947,000 square feet at our 731 Lexington Avenue property that were scheduled to expire in February 2029 for a term of eleven years to February 2040. Upon execution of this lease extension, we paid a $ 32,000,000 leasing commission, of which $ 26,500,000 was to a third-party broker and $ 5,500,000 was to Vornado.
In connection with the lease extension, Bloomberg is entitled to a $ 113,618,000 tenant fund which is accounted for as a lease incentive under GAAP. Accordingly, we recorded a deferred lease incentive asset of $ 113,618,000 , which is amortized as a reduction to rental revenues over the remaining term of the lease, and a corresponding liability. These amounts are included in “Deferred leasing costs, net” and “Lease incentive liability,” respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024.
On December 3, 2022, IKEA closed its 112,000 square foot store at our Rego Park I property under a lease that was set to expire in December 2030. The lease included a right to terminate effective no earlier than March 16, 2026, subject to payment of rent through the termination date and an additional termination payment equal to the lesser of $ 10,000,000 or the amount of rent due under the remaining term. On September 27, 2023, we entered into a lease modification agreement with IKEA which accelerated its lease termination date to April 1, 2024. During the fourth quarter of 2023 and the first quarter of 2024, IKEA paid its remaining rent obligation through March 16, 2026 and the $ 10,000,000 termination payment.
5. Real Estate Sale
On May 19, 2023, we sold the Rego Park III land parcel in Queens, New York, for $ 71,060,000 inclusive of consideration for Brownfield tax benefits and reimbursement of costs for plans, specifications and improvements to date. Net proceeds from the sale were $ 67,821,000 after closing costs and the financial statement gain was $ 53,952,000 .

Under the agreements in effect prior to May 1, 2024, in the event third-party real estate brokers were used, the fees to Vornado increased by 1 % and Vornado was responsible for the fees to the third-party real estate brokers (“Third-Party Lease Commissions”). On May 1, 2024, our Board of Directors approved amendments to the leasing agreements, subject to applicable lender consents, pursuant to which the Company is responsible for any Third-Party Lease Commissions and, in such circumstances, Vornado’s fee is 33 % of the applicable Third-Party Lease Commission.

7. Mortgages Payable
On June 9, 2023, we exercised our remaining one-year extension option on the $ 500,000,000 interest-only mortgage loan on the office condominium of our 731 Lexington Avenue property. The interest rate on the loan remained at LIBOR plus 0.90 % through July 15, 2023 and then at the Prime Rate through loan maturity on June 11, 2024. In addition, in June 2023, we purchased an interest rate cap for $ 11,258,000 , which capped LIBOR at 6.00 % through July 15, 2023 and then the Prime Rate at 6.00 % through loan maturity. On June 11, 2024, we entered into a four-month extension of the loan and simultaneously paid down the principal balance by $ 10,000,000 to $ 490,000,000 . The interest-only mortgage loan remains at the Prime rate ( 8.50 % as of June 30, 2024) through the extended loan maturity of October 11, 2024. We also escrowed $ 66,808,000 with the lender in connection with the tenant fund in the Bloomberg lease extension which is included in “Restricted cash” on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024.
The following is a summary of our outstanding mortgages payable as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. We may refinance our maturing debt as it comes due or choose to pay it down.

8. Stock-Based Compensation
We account for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”). Our 2016 Omnibus Stock Plan (the “Plan”) provides for grants of incentive and non-qualified stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock units (“DSUs”) and performance shares, as defined, to the directors, officers and employees of the Company and Vornado.
In May 2024, we granted each of the members of our Board of Directors 357 DSUs with a market value of $ 75,000 per grant. The grant date fair value of these awards was $ 56,250 per grant, or $ 450,000 in the aggregate, in accordance with ASC 718. The DSUs entitle the holders to receive shares of the Company’s common stock without the payment of any consideration. The DSUs vested immediately and accordingly, were expensed on the date of grant, but the shares of common stock underlying the DSUs are not deliverable to the grantee until the grantee is no longer serving on the Company’s Board of Directors. As of June 30, 2024, there were 26,244 DSUs outstanding and 479,543 shares were available for future grant under the Plan.

ASC 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 that are highly liquid and are actively traded in secondary markets; 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.
Financial Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
Financial assets measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 consist of interest rate derivatives, which are presented in the table below based on their level in the fair value hierarchy. There were no financial liabilities measured at fair value as of June 30, 2024.

Interest Rate Derivatives
We recognize the fair value of all interest rate derivatives in “other assets” or “other liabilities” on our consolidated balance sheets and since all of our interest rate derivatives have been designated as cash flow hedges, changes in the fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income. The table below summarizes our interest rate derivatives, all of which hedge the interest rate risk attributable to the variable rate debt noted as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Financial Assets and Liabilities not Measured at Fair Value
Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheets include cash equivalents and mortgages payable. Cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities and are classified as Level 1. The fair value of our mortgages payable is calculated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit ratings, which are provided by a third-party specialist, and is classified as Level 2. The table below summarizes the carrying amount and fair value of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

10. Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance
We maintain general liability insurance with limits of $ 300,000,000 per occurrence and per property, of which the first $ 30,000,000 includes communicable disease coverage, and all-risk property and rental value insurance coverage with limits of $ 1.7 billion per occurrence, including coverage for acts of terrorism, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of our properties and excluding communicable disease coverage.
Fifty Ninth Street Insurance Company, LLC (“FNSIC”), our wholly owned consolidated subsidiary, acts as a direct insurer for coverage for acts of terrorism, including nuclear, biological, chemical and radiological (“NBCR”) acts, as defined by the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act of 2002, as amended to date and which has been extended through December 2027. Coverage for acts of terrorism (including NBCR acts) is up to $ 1.7 billion per occurrence and in the aggregate. Coverage for acts of terrorism (excluding NBCR acts) is fully reinsured by third party insurance companies and the Federal government with no exposure to FNSIC. For NBCR acts, FNSIC is responsible for a $ 316,000 deductible and 20 % of the balance of a covered loss, and the Federal government is responsible for the remaining 80 % of a covered loss. We are ultimately responsible for any loss incurred by FNSIC.
We continue to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism or other events. However, we cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future. We are responsible for uninsured losses and for deductibles and losses in excess of our insurance coverage, which could be material.
Our loans contain customary covenants requiring us to maintain insurance. Although we believe that we have adequate insurance coverage for purposes of these agreements, we may not be able to obtain an equivalent amount of coverage at reasonable costs in the future. If lenders insist on greater coverage than we are able to obtain, it could adversely affect our ability to finance or refinance our properties.
Letters of Credit
Approximately $ 900,000 of standby letters of credit were issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2024.
Other
There are various legal actions brought against us from time-to-time in the ordinary course of business. In our opinion, the outcome of such pending matters in the aggregate will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

11. Earnings Per Share
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted income per share, including a reconciliation of net income and the number of shares used in computing basic and diluted income per share. Basic income per share is determined using the weighted average shares of common stock (including deferred stock units) outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is determined using the weighted average shares of common stock (including deferred stock units) outstanding during the period, and assumes all potentially dilutive securities were converted into common shares at the earliest date possible. There were no potentially dilutive securities outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Alexander’s, Inc.
Results of Review of Interim Financial Information
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Alexander’s, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of June 30, 2024, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and changes in equity, for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and of cash flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “interim financial information”). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying interim financial information for it to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 12, 2024, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.
Basis for Review Results
This interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company's management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the 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 reviews in accordance with standards of the PCAOB. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
