Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Alexander’s, Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company") as of December 31, 2024, and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and the schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (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 three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 10, 2025, expressed an unqualified opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting. 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 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. 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. Real Estate Impairment – Refer to Note 2 to the financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company’s real estate assets are individually evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The Company’s evaluation of the recoverability of real estate assets consists of the comparison of undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by each real estate asset over the Company’s estimated holding period to the respective carrying amount. The Company’s undiscounted future cash flow analyses require management to make significant estimates, including estimated terminal values determined using appropriate capitalization rates. Given the Company’s estimated capitalization rates used in the evaluation of impairment of real estate assets is a significant assumption made by management, performing audit procedures to evaluate the reasonableness of management’s undiscounted future cash flow analyses required a high degree of auditor judgment and an increased extent of effort, including the need to involve our fair value specialists. 36 How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to the Company’s estimated capitalization rates used in the evaluation of impairment of real estate assets included the following, among others: • We tested the effectiveness of controls over management’s evaluation of the recoverability of real estate, including controls over management’s determination of the reasonableness of the applicable capitalization rates. • Inquired with management regarding their determination of the capitalization rates, and evaluated the consistency of the capitalization rates used with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. • With the assistance of our fair value specialists, we evaluated the reasonableness of the Company’s estimated capitalization rates by: • Testing the source information underlying the determination of the capitalization rates by evaluating the reasonableness of the capitalization rates used by management with independent market data, focusing on key factors, including geographical location, tenant composition, and property type. • Developing a range of independent estimates of capitalization rates and comparing those to the capitalization rates utilized by management. /s/ DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP New York, New York Februa ry 10, 2025 We have served as the Company’s auditor since 1969. 37 ALEXANDER’S, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our consolidated subsidiaries. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), which requires us to make 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. 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. These consolidated financial statements incorporate the adoption of ASU 2023-07 as required. Refer to Note 13 - Segment Information . 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. 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”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of these standards on our consolidated financial statements. Real Estate – Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying amount of our real estate, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, was $ 641,570,000 a nd $ 650,717,000 , respectively. Maintenance and repairs are generally expensed as incurred. Depreciation requires an estimate by management of the useful life of each property and improvement as well as an allocation of the costs associated with a property to its various components. We capitalize all property operating expenses directly associated with and attributable to, the development and construction of a project, including interest expense. The capitalization period begins when development activities are underway and ends when it is determined that the asset is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, which is typically evidenced by the receipt of a temporary certificate of occupancy. General and administrative costs are expensed as incurred. 45 ALEXANDER’S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Our properties are individually reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. 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, including an estimated terminal value calculated using an appropriate capitalization rate. Estimates of future cash flows are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. For our development properties, estimates of future cash flows also include all future expenditures necessary to develop the asset, including interest payments that will be capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. An impairment loss is recognized only 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. If our estimates of future cash flows, anticipated holding periods, or fair values change, based on market conditions or otherwise, our evaluation of impairment charges 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 and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results. Plans to hold properties over longer periods decrease the likelihood of recording impairment losses. Revenue Recognition – Rental revenues include revenues from the leasing of space at our properties to tenants, tenant services and parking garage revenues. We have the following revenue recognition policies: • Revenues from the leasing of space at our properties to tenants include (i) lease components, including fixed and variable lease payments, and nonlease components which include reimbursement of common area maintenance expenses, and (ii) reimbursement of real estate taxes and insurance expenses. As lessor, we have elected to combine the lease and nonlease components of our operating lease agreements and account for the components as a single lease component in accordance with ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”). ◦ Revenues from fixed lease payments for operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable term of the lease, together with renewal options that are reasonably certain of being exercised. We commence revenue recognition when the tenant takes possession of the leased space and the leased space is substantially ready for its intended use. ◦ Revenues derived from the reimbursement of real estate taxes, insurance expenses and common area maintenance expenses are generally recognized in the same period as the related expenses are incurred. • Revenues derived from sub-metered electric, elevator, trash removal and other services provided to our tenants at their request are recognized as the services are transferred in accordance with ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASC 606"). • Revenues derived from the operations of our parking facilities, which charge hourly or monthly fees to provide parking services to customers, are recognized as the services are transferred in accordance with ASC 606. We evaluate on an individual lease basis whether it is probable that we will collect substantially all amounts due from our tenants and recognize changes in the collectability assessment of our operating leases as adjustments to rental revenue. Management exercises judgment in assessing collectability of tenant receivables and considers payment history, current credit status and publicly available information about the financial condition of the tenant, and other factors. Tenant receivables, including receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents, are written off when management deems that the collectability of substantially all future lease payments from a specific lease is not probable of collection, at which point, the Company will limit future rental revenues to cash received. Cash and Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value, due to their short-term maturities. The majority of our cash and cash equivalents consist of (i) deposits at major commercial banks, which may at times exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit, (ii) money market funds, which invest in U.S. Treasury bills and (iii) certificates of deposit placed through an account registry service (“CDARS”). To date we have not experienced any losses on our invested cash. Restricted Cash – Restricted cash primarily consists of cash escrowed under loan and interest rate derivative agreements, including for debt service, real estate taxes, property insurance, leasing costs and capital improvements, and security deposits. 46 ALEXANDER’S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES - continued Deferred Charges – Direct financing costs are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective interest rate method, over the terms of the related agreements as a component of interest and debt expense. Direct and incremental costs related to successful leasing activities are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lives of the related leases. Income Taxes – We operate in a manner intended to enable us to continue to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 – 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT under the Code, we must distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to stockholders each year. We distribute to our stockholders 100 % of our taxable income and therefore, no provision for Federal income taxes is required. Dividends distributed for the year ended December 31, 2024 were characterized, for federal income tax purposes, as 100 % ordinary income. Dividends distributed for the year ended December 31, 2023 were characterized, for federal income tax purposes, as 41.5 % ordinary income and 58.5 % of long-term capital gain income. Dividends distributed for the year ended December 31, 2022 were characterized, for federal income tax purposes, as 100.0 % ordinary income. The estimated taxable income attributable to our common stockholders (unaudited) for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 was approximately $ 65,493,000 , $ 98,555,000 , and $ 64,960,000 , respectively. The book to tax differences between net income and estimated taxable income primarily result from differences in the income recognition or deductibility of depreciation and amortization, gains or losses from the sale of real estate and other capital transactions, straight-line rent adjustments, the change in fair value of marketable securities and income from discontinued operations. As of Dec ember 31, 2024, the net basis of our assets and liabilities for tax reporting purposes was approximately $ 133,704,000 low er than the amount reported for financial statement purposes. 3.

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 . On September 30, 2024, we entered into a new $ 400,000,000 mortgage loan on the office condominium portion of 731 Lexington Avenue. The interest-only loan has a fixed rate of 5.04 % and matures in October 2028. The loan is prepayable, at the Company’s option, with no penalty, beginning in October 2026. The new loan replaces the previous $ 490,000,000 loan that bore interest at the Prime Rate and was scheduled to mature in October 2024. The following is a summary of our outstanding mortgages payable. We may refinance our maturing debt as it comes due or choose to repay it.

The net carrying value of real estate collateralizing the debt amou nted to $ 587,548,000 as of December 31, 2024. Our existing financing documents contain covenants that limit our ability to incur additional indebtedness on these properties, and in certain circumstances, provide for lender approval of tenants’ leases and yield maintenance to prepay them.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement (“ASC 820”) defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. 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 December 31, 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 December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024 (Amounts in thousands) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Interest rate derivatives (included in other assets) $ 4,487 $ — $ 4,487 $ — Financial assets measured at fair value on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 consist of interest rate derivatives, which are presented in the table below based on their level in the fair value hierarchy.

As of December 31, 2023 (Amounts in thousands) Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Interest rate derivatives (included in other assets) $ 22,608 $ — $ 22,608 $ — 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 December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS - continued 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 December 31, 2024 and 2023.

LEASES As Lessor We lease space to tenants under operating leases in an office building and in retail centers. The rental terms range from approximately 5 to 25 years. The leases provide for the payment of fixed base rents payable monthly in advance as well as reimbursements of real estate taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Retail leases may also provide for the payment by the lessee of additional rents based on a percentage of their sales. We also lease residential space at The Alexander apartment tower which generally have a 1 or 2 year lease terms. Future undiscounted cash flows under our contractual non-cancelable operating leases are as follows: (Amounts in thousands) As of December 31, 2024 For the year ending December 31, 2025 $ 138,497 2026 128,752 2027 125,733 2028 133,449 2029 49,223 Thereafter 1,172,878 These amounts do not include reimbursements or additional rents based on a percentage of retail tenants’ sales. Bloomberg accounted for reve nue of $ 125,349,000 , $ 120,351,000 , and $ 115,129,000 in the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, representing approximately 55 %, 54 % and 56 % of our rental revenues in each year, respectively. No other tenant accounted for more than 10% of o ur 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, during the second quarter of 2024, 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 liabilities,” on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024. 51 ALEXANDER’S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 8. LEASES - continued As Lessor - continued 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. In 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. As Lessee We are the lessee under a ground lease at our Flushing property, classified as an operating lease, which expires in 2027 and has one ten-year extension option. In January 2022, New World Mall LLC, the subtenant at the property, exercised its one remaining ten-year extension option through January 2037. As a result of the subtenant exercising its extension option, we were required by GAAP to remeasure our ground lease liability based upon an estimate of lease payments to be made during the ten-year extension period of our ground lease resulting in an incremental right-of-use asset and lease liability of approximately $ 16,000,000 . The discount rate applied in the remeasurement of the lease liability was based on the incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) of 5.86 % at the time of the remeasurement. We considered the general economic environment and factored in various Company specific adjustments to arrive at the IBR. As of December 31, 2024, the remaining right-of-use asset of $ 16,571,000 and lease liability of $ 20,861,000 , are included in “ other assets ” and “ other liabilities ,” respectively, on our consolidated balance sheet. Future lease payments under this operating lease, including our estimated payments during the extension period, are as follows: (Amounts in thousands) As of December 31, 2024 For the year ending December 31, 2025 $ 800 2026 800 2027 2,707 2028 2,880 2029 2,880 Thereafter 20,400 Total undiscounted cash flows 30,467 Present value discount ( 9,606 ) Lease liability as of December 31, 2024 $ 20,861 We recognize rent exp ense as a component of “operating” expenses on our consolidated statements of income on a straight-line basis. Rent expense was $ 2,161,000 in each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Cash paid for rent expense was $ 800,000 in each of the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 9. 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 December 31, 2024, there were 26,244 DSUs outstanding and 479,543 shares were available for future grant under the Plan. 52 ALEXANDER’S, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) 10. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Insurance W e 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 deductible of $ 338,000 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. 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. MULTIEMPLOYER BENEFIT PLANS Our subsidiaries make contributions to certain multiemployer defined benefit plans (“Multiemployer Pension Plans”) and health plans (“Multiemployer Health Plans”) for our union represented employees, pursuant to the respective collective bargaining agreements. Multiemployer Pension Plans Multiemployer Pension Plans differ from single-employer pension plans in that (i) contributions to multiemployer plans may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers and (ii) if other participating employers fail to make their contributions, each of our subsidiaries may be required to bear their pro rata share of unfunded obligations. If a participating subsidiary withdraws from a plan in which it participates, it may be subject to a withdrawal liability. As of December 31, 2024, our subsidiaries’ participation in these plans were not significant to our consolidated financial statements. In the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 our subsidiaries contributed $ 267,000 , $ 215,000 and $ 178,000 , respectively, towards Multiemployer Pension Plans. Our subsidiaries’ contributions did not represent more than 5% of total employer contributions in any of these plans for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Multiemployer Health Plans Multiemployer Health Plans in which our subsidiaries participate provide health benefits to eligible active and retired employees. In the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 our subsidiaries contributed $ 1,085,000 , $ 1,005,000 and $ 839,000 , respectively, towards these plans. 53 ALEXANDER’S, INC.

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 DSUs) outstanding during the period. Diluted income per share is determined using the weighted average shares of common stock (including DSUs) 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 years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022. Year Ended December 31, (Amounts in thousands, except share and per share amounts) 2024 2023 2022 Net income $ 43,444 $ 102,413 $ 57,632 Weighted average shares outstanding – basic and diluted 5,132,418 5,129,330 5,126,100 Net income per common share – basic and diluted $ 8.46 $ 19.97 $ 11.24 13. SEGMENT INFORMATION We have determined that our properties, which are considered our operating segments, have similar economic characteristics and meet the criteria that permit these operating segments to be aggregated into one reportable segment (the leasing, management, development and redevelopment of properties in New York City). Net operating income (“NOI”) represents total revenues less operating expenses. The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its Chief Executive Officer, who considers NOI to be the financial measure of segment profit and loss for making decisions on how to allocate resources and assessing the performance of the segment. Asset information by segment is not reported as the CODM does not use this measure to assess segment performance or to make resource allocation decisions.
