REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS AND THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC.:
Opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of EastGroup Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III (collectively, the consolidated financial statements). In our opinion, the consolidated 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 years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have 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 12, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of a critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated 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.
Estimated relative fair value assigned to land in an asset acquisition
As discussed in Note 1(j) to the consolidated financial statements, the Company acquired $390,011,000 of assets, net of liabilities assumed, related to real estate property acquisitions during 2024 that were accounted for as asset acquisitions, of which $41,815,000 of the acquisition cost was allocated to land. The acquisition cost in an asset acquisition is allocated among the individual components of both tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based on their relative fair values.
We identified the estimated fair value of land as a critical audit matter. Specifically, evaluating the relevance of comparable land sales used in the Company’s determination of the estimated fair value involved subjective auditor judgment. Professionals with specialized skills and knowledge were utilized to evaluate the relevance of a selection of the comparable land sales.
The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness over the Company’s control to review identified publicly available comparable land sales used to estimate fair value of land in an asset acquisition. We evaluated the Company’s estimate of fair value of land by comparing to
41
our independently established ranges of comparable land sales developed using publicly available market data and involved valuation professionals with specialized skills and knowledge who assisted in this evaluation for a selection of acquisitions.

MANAGEMENT REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
EastGroup’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, EastGroup conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. The design of any system of internal control over financial reporting is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on EastGroup’s evaluation under the framework in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) , management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2024.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
TO THE STOCKHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS
EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC.:
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited EastGroup Properties, Inc. and subsidiaries’ (the Company) 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. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective 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.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes and financial statement schedule III (collectively, the consolidated financial statements), and our report dated February 12, 2025 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. 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 audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022
(1) SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of EastGroup Properties, Inc. (“EastGroup” or “the Company”), its wholly owned subsidiaries and the investee of any joint ventures in which the Company has a controlling interest. The Company records 100% of the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the properties held in joint ventures with the noncontrolling interests provided for in accordance with the joint venture agreements.
As of December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022, EastGroup had a 95 % controlling interest in a joint venture arrangement owning 6.5 acres of land in San Diego, known by the Company as Miramar Land. During the year ended December 31, 2023, a joint venture, in which EastGroup owns a 99.5 % interest, acquired 29.3 acres of land in Denver, known by the Company as Arista 36 Business Park 1-3. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, EastGroup continued to hold a controlling interest in these two joint venture arrangements.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, EastGroup acquired the 1 % noncontrolling interest in Speed Distribution Center, a 519,000 square foot building in San Diego, in which the Company held a 99 % controlling interest. As of December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022, the Company continued to control and own 100 % of the property.
The equity method of accounting is used for the Company’s 50 % undivided tenant-in-common interest in Industry Distribution Center 2. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.
(b) Income Taxes
EastGroup, a Maryland corporation, has qualified as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code and intends to continue to qualify as such. To maintain its status as a REIT, the Company is required to, among other things, distribute at least 90% of its ordinary taxable income to its stockholders. If the Company has a capital gain, it has the option of (i) deferring recognition of the capital gain through a tax-deferred exchange, (ii) declaring and paying a capital gain dividend on any recognized net capital gain resulting in no corporate level tax, or (iii) retaining and paying corporate income tax on its net long-term capital gain, with the shareholders reporting their proportional share of the undistributed long-term capital gain and receiving a credit or refund of their share of the tax paid by the Company. The Company distributed all of its 2024, 2023 and 2022 taxable income to its stockholders. Accordingly, no significant provisions for income taxes were necessary. The Company’s income tax treatment of share distributions is based on its taxable income, calculated in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, which differs from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The following table summarizes the federal income tax treatment for all distributions by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023 and 2022.

(1) Pursuant to Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, Section 857(b)(9), cash distributions made on January 15, 2025 with a record date of December 31, 2024 were treated as received by shareholders on December 31, 2024 to the extent of 2024 undistributed earnings and profits. Cash distributions made on January 12, 2024 with a record date of December 29, 2023 were treated as received by shareholders on December 31, 2023 to the extent of 2023 undistributed earnings and profits. Cash distributions made on January 13, 2023 with a record date of December 30, 2022 were treated as received by shareholders on December 31, 2022 to the extent of 2022 undistributed earnings and profits.
EastGroup applies the principles of Financial Accounting Standards Board “FASB” Accounting Standards Codification “ASC” 740, Income Taxes, when evaluating and accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. With few exceptions, the Company’s
49
EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
2020 and earlier tax years are closed for examination by U.S. federal, state and local tax authorities. In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, the Company had no significant uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.
(c) Income Recognition
The Company’s primary source of revenue is rental income from business distribution space. Minimum rental income from real estate operations is recognized on a straight-line basis, when collectability is probable. The straight-line rent calculation on leases includes the effects of rent concessions and scheduled rent increases, and the calculated straight-line rent income is recognized over the terms of the individual leases. The Company assesses the collectability of rent receivables, with a focus on identifying tenant defaults and bankruptcies that could affect collection of outstanding and future receivables. Management specifically analyzes the age of receivables, the payment history and financial condition of the tenant, on a tenant-by-tenant basis. If deemed uncollectible, revenue is recognized only when lease payments are received, or until such time that collection of future rent is deemed to be probable in accordance with ASC 842, Leases .
The Company’s primary source of revenue is rental income from business distribution space; as such, the Company is a lessor on a significant number of leases. The Company applies the principles of ASC 842, Leases. Initial indirect costs (primarily legal costs related to lease negotiations) are expensed rather than capitalized. EastGroup recorded Indirect leasing costs of $ 785,000 , $ 582,000 and $ 546,000 on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
As permitted by ASC 842, Leases , EastGroup made an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not separate non-lease components (such as common area maintenance) of a contract from the lease component to which they relate when specific criteria are met. The Company believes its leases meet the criteria.
The table below presents the components of Income from real estate operations for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:
Years Ended December 31,
2024 2023
2022

Income from real estate operations $ 638,035 566,179 486,817
(1) Primarily includes tenant reimbursements for real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance.
Future Minimum Rental Receipts Under Non-Cancelable Leases
The Company’s leases with its customers may include various provisions such as scheduled rent increases, renewal options and termination options. The majority of the Company’s leases include defined rent increases rather than variable payments based on an index or unknown rate. In calculating the disclosures presented below, the Company included the fixed, non-cancelable terms of the leases. The following schedule indicates approximate future minimum rental receipts under non-cancelable leases for real estate properties by year as of December 31, 2024:
Years Ending December 31, (In thousands)
2025 $ 497,772
2026 459,499
2027 372,124
2028 295,519
2029 221,056
Thereafter 446,149
Total minimum receipts $ 2,292,119
The Company recognizes gains on sales of real estate in accordance with the principles set forth in the Codification. For each transaction, the Company evaluates whether the guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or ASC 610, Other Income — Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, is applicable. Upon closing of real estate transactions, the provisions of the Codification require consideration of whether the seller has a controlling financial interest in the entity that holds the nonfinancial asset after the transaction. In addition, the seller evaluates whether a contract exists under ASC 606 and whether the counterparty obtained control of each nonfinancial asset that is sold. If a contract exists and the
50
EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
counterparty obtained control of each nonfinancial asset, the seller derecognizes the assets at the close of the transaction with resulting gains or losses reflected on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
(d) Real Estate Properties
EastGroup has one reportable segment – industrial properties, consistent with the Company’s manner of internal reporting, measurement of operating results and allocation of the Company’s resources. The Company's properties are primarily in the 20,000 to 100,000 square foot range. The majority of the Company’s leases are triple net leases, in which the tenant is responsible for their pro rata share of operating expenses during the lease term, including real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer, who uses Net income as the primary measure of operating results in making decisions. Net income is computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Net income is used to evaluate the performance of the Company’s investments in real estate assets and its operating results and to allocate resources in acquiring or developing industrial properties. The following income and significant expense categories are regularly provided to the Company’s CODM as components of Net income , which are presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income: Income from real estate operations , Expenses from real estate operations , General and administrative and Interest expense .
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows (including estimated future expenditures necessary to substantially complete the asset) expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not identify any impairment charges which should be recorded.
Depreciation of buildings and other improvements is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of generally 40 years for buildings and 3 to 15 years for improvements. Building improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred. Significant renovations and improvements that improve or extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. Depreciation expense was $ 155,240,000 , $ 141,003,000 and $ 125,199,000 for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
(e) Development and Value-Add Properties
Development and value-add properties consists of properties in lease-up and under construction and prospective development (primarily land). Value-add properties are defined as properties that are either acquired but not stabilized or can be converted to a higher and better use. Properties meeting either of the following two conditions are considered value-add properties: (1) Less than 75% leased as of the acquisition date (or will be less than 75% occupied within one year of acquisition date based on near term lease roll), or (2) 20% or greater of the gross carrying amount of the property will be spent to redevelop the property.
Costs associated with development (i.e., land, construction costs, interest expense, property taxes and other costs associated with development) are aggregated into the total capitalized costs of the property. Included in these costs are management’s estimates for the portions of internal costs (primarily personnel costs) deemed related to such development activities. The internal costs are allocated to specific development projects based on development activity. As the property becomes occupied, depreciation commences on the occupied portion of the building, and costs are capitalized only for the portion of the building that remains vacant. The Company transfers properties from Development and value-add properties to Real estate properties as follows: (i) for development properties, at the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year after completion of the shell construction, and (ii) for value-add properties, at the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year after acquisition. Upon the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year after completion/value-add acquisition date of the shell construction, capitalization of development costs, including interest expense, property taxes and internal personnel costs, ceases and depreciation commences on the entire property (excluding the land).
(f) Real Estate Sold and Held for Sale
The Company considers a real estate property to be held for sale when it meets the criteria established under ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, including when it is probable that the property will be sold within a year. Real estate properties held for sale are reported at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less estimated costs to sell and are not depreciated while they are held for sale. The Company did not classify any properties as held for sale as of December 31, 2024 or 2023.
In accordance with ASC 360 and ASC 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, the Company would report a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results when the component or group of components meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale or when the component or group of components is disposed of by
51
EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
sale or other than by sale. In addition, the Company would provide additional disclosures about both discontinued operations and the disposal of an individually significant component of an entity that does not qualify for discontinued operations presentation in the financial statements. EastGroup performs an analysis of properties sold to determine whether the sales qualify for discontinued operations presentation.
Results of operations and gains and losses on sales for properties sold are reported in continuing operations on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income. The gains and losses on sales of operating properties are included in Gain on sales of real estate investments .
The Company did not consider its sales in 2024, 2023, or 2022 to be disposals of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity representing a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the entity’s operations and financial results.
(g) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
EastGroup applies ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging , which requires all entities with derivative instruments to disclose information regarding how and why the entity uses derivative instruments and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect the entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. See Note 12 for a discussion of the Company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.
(h) Cash Equivalents
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
(i) Amortization
Debt origination costs are deferred and amortized over the term of each loan using the effective interest method, and the amortization is included in Interest Expense . Amortization of debt issuance costs was $ 1,914,000 , $ 1,943,000 and $ 1,357,000 for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization of facility fees was $ 1,012,000 , $ 1,005,000 and $ 713,000 for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Leasing costs are deferred and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the lease. The related amortization expense is included in Depreciation and amortization . Leasing costs amortization expense was $ 25,522,000 , $ 22,133,000 and $ 18,950,000 for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Amortization expense for in-place lease intangibles is disclosed below in Real Estate Property Acquisitions and Acquired Intangibles .
(j) Real Estate Property Acquisitions and Acquired Intangibles
Upon acquisition of real estate properties, EastGroup applies the principles of ASC 805, Business Combinations. The FASB Codification provides a framework for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses. Under the guidance, companies are required to utilize an initial screening test to determine whether substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets; if so, the set is not a business. Criteria considered in grouping similar assets include geographic location, market and operational risks and the physical characteristics of the assets. EastGroup determined that its real estate property acquisitions in 2024, 2023 and 2022 are considered to be acquisitions of groups of similar identifiable assets; therefore, the acquisitions are not considered to be acquisitions of a business. As a result, the Company has capitalized acquisition costs related to its 2024, 2023 and 2022 acquisitions.
The FASB Codification also provides guidance on how to properly determine the allocation of the purchase price among the individual components of both the tangible and intangible assets based on their relative fair values. The allocation to tangible assets (land, building and improvements) is based upon management’s determination of the value of the property as if it were vacant using discounted cash flow models. Land is valued using comparable land sales specific to the applicable market, provided by a third-party. The Company determines whether any financing assumed is above or below market based upon comparison to similar financing terms for similar properties. The cost of the properties acquired may be adjusted based on indebtedness assumed from the seller that is determined to be above or below market rates.
The purchase price is also allocated among the following categories of intangible assets: the above or below market component of in-place leases and the value of in-place leases at the time of the acquisition. The value allocable to the above or below market component of an acquired in-place lease is determined based upon the present value (using a discount rate reflecting the risks associated with the acquired leases) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the lease
52
EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
over its remaining term, and (ii) management’s estimate of the amounts that would be paid using current market rents over the remaining term of the lease. The amounts allocated to above and below market lease intangibles are included in Other assets and Other liabilities , respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. In-place lease intangibles are valued based upon management’s assessment of factors such as an estimate of foregone rents and avoided leasing costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. These intangible assets are included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are amortized over the remaining term of the existing lease.
Amortization of above and below market lease intangibles, which increased rental income by $ 2,916,000 , $ 2,483,000 and $ 2,565,000 in 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, is included in Income from real estate operations . Amortization expense for in-place lease intangibles, which was $ 8,649,000 , $ 7,942,000 and $ 9,489,000 for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, is included in Depreciation and amortization .
Projected amortization of in-place lease intangibles for the next five years as of December 31, 2024 is as follows:
Years Ending December 31, (In thousands)
2025 $ 12,066

(1) In-place lease intangibles and above market lease intangibles are each included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are amortized over the remaining terms of the associated leases in place at the time of acquisition.
(2) Below market lease intangibles are included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are amortized over the remaining terms of the associated leases in place at the time of acquisition.
(3) Operating lease liabilities - Ground leases are included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs are amortized over the remaining terms of the associated leases in place at the time of acquisition .
The leases in the properties acquired during 2024, 2023 and 2022 had a weighted average remaining lease term at acquisition of approximately 4.1 years, 8.0 years and 3.9 years, respectively.
The Company periodically reviews the recoverability of goodwill (at least annually) and the recoverability of other intangibles (on a quarterly basis) for possible impairment. No impairment of goodwill and other intangibles existed during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.
53
EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(k) Stock-Based Compensation
EastGroup applies the provisions of ASC 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation , to account for its stock-based compensation plans. ASC 718 requires that the compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in the financial statements and that the cost be measured on the fair value of the equity or liability instruments issued. The cost for market based awards and awards that only require service are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods. The cost for performance based awards is determined using the graded vesting attribution method which recognizes each separate vesting portion of the award as a separate award on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. This method accelerates the expensing of the award compared to the straight-line method. For awards with a performance condition, compensation expense is recognized when the performance condition is considered probable of achievement.
The total compensation expense for service and performance based awards is based upon the fair market value of the shares on the grant date. The grant date fair value for awards that have been granted and are subject to a future market condition (total shareholder return) are determined using a Monte Carlo simulation pricing model developed to specifically accommodate the unique features of the awards.
The Company accrues dividends on shares granted and unvested and holds the certificates for the shares, and the employee can vote the shares once performance based or market based conditions are met. Share certificates and dividends are delivered to the employee as they vest. Forfeitures of awards are recognized as they occur.
(l) Equity Offerings
Underwriting commissions and offering costs incurred in connection with common stock offerings and at-the-market equity offering programs have been reflected as a reduction of Additional paid-in capital .
Under relevant accounting guidance, sales of common stock under forward equity sale agreements (as discussed in Note 9 Common Stock Activity ) are not deemed to be liabilities, and furthermore, meet the derivatives and hedging guidance scope exception to be accounted for as equity instruments based on the following assessment: (i) none of the agreements’ exercise contingencies were based on observable markets or indices besides those related to the market for our own stock price and operations; and (ii) none of the settlement provisions precluded the agreements from being indexed to our own stock.
(m) Earnings per Share
The Company applies ASC 260, Earnings Per Share , which requires companies to present basic and diluted earnings per share (“EPS”). Basic EPS represents the amount of earnings for the period attributable to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period. The Company’s basic EPS is calculated by dividing Net Income Attributable to EastGroup Properties, Inc. Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. The weighted average number of common shares outstanding does not include any potentially dilutive securities or any unvested restricted shares of common stock. Outstanding forward equity sale agreements are potentially dilutive securities excluded from the basic EPS calculation until the agreements are settled, shares issued and proceeds received. Although unvested restricted shares are classified as issued and outstanding, they are considered forfeitable until the restrictions lapse and will not be included in the basic EPS calculation until the shares are vested.
Diluted EPS represents the amount of earnings for the period attributable to each share of common stock outstanding during the reporting period and to each share that would have been outstanding assuming the issuance of common shares for all dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the reporting period. The Company calculates diluted EPS by dividing Net Income Attributable to EastGroup Properties, Inc. Common Stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the effect of any dilutive securities including shares issuable under forward equity sale agreements and unvested restricted stock using the treasury stock method. Any anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation. See Note 13 for details.
(n) Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses during the reporting period and to disclose material contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
(o) Risks and Uncertainties
The state of the overall economy can significantly impact the Company’s operational performance and thus impact its financial
position. Should EastGroup experience a significant decline in operational performance, it may affect the Company’s ability to
make distributions to its shareholders, service debt or meet other financial obligations.

Ground Leases
EastGroup applies ASC 842, Leases , for its ground leases, which are classified as operating leases. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had operating properties subject to ground leases in Florida, Texas and Arizona. In November and December 2024, EastGroup assumed ground leases in connection with the acquisitions of DFW Global Logistics Centre 5-8 in Dallas and Akimel Gateway in Phoenix; we recorded right of use assets and liabilities of $ 10,795,000 and $ 11,041,000 , respectively. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the unamortized balances of the Company’s right of use assets for its ground leases were $ 38,393,000 and $ 17,996,000 , respectively. The right of use assets for ground leases are included in Real estate properties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The ground leases have terms of 40 to 65 years and renewal options of 15 to 35 years, except for one lease in Arizona which is automatically and perpetually renewed annually. With the renewal options included, expiration dates range from August 2051 to December 2085 . The Company has included renewal options in the lease terms for calculating the ground lease assets and liabilities as the Company is reasonably certain it will exercise these options. Total ground lease expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were $ 1,936,000 , $ 1,758,000 and $ 1,755,000 , respectively. Payments are subject to increases at 3 to 10 year intervals based upon the agreed or appraised fair market value of the leased premises on the adjustment date or the Consumer Price Index percentage increase since the base rent date. These future changes in payments will be considered variable payments and will not impact the assessment of the asset or liability unless there is a significant event that triggers reassessment, such as amendment with a change in the terms of the lease. The weighted-average remaining lease terms for the Company's ground leases were 47 years and 35 years as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The following schedule indicates approximate future minimum ground lease payments, including renewal periods, for these properties by year as of December 31, 2024:
Years Ending December 31, (In thousands)

The weighted-average discount rates for the Company's ground leases were 6.82 % and 5.99 % as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
On June 13, 2024, EastGroup entered into amended and restated credit agreements related to its $ 625,000,000 and $ 50,000,000
unsecured bank credit facilities, to extend the maturity dates from July 30, 2025 to July 31, 2028. There were no other material
changes to the credit facilities, which are outlined below.
The Company has a $ 625,000,000 unsecured bank credit facility with a group of 10 banks, which has a maturity date of July 31, 2028 . The credit facility contains options for two six-month extensions (at the Company’s election) and an additional $ 625,000,000 accordion (with agreement by all parties). The interest rate on each tranche is reset on a monthly basis and as of December 31, 2024 , was Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus 76.5 basis points with an annual facility fee of 15 basis points. As of December 31, 2024 , the Company had no variable rate borrowings on this unsecured bank credit facility and an interest rate of 5.222 %. The Company has two standby letters of credit totaling $ 2,655,000 pledged on this facility, which reduces borrowing capacity under the credit facility.
The Company also has a $ 50,000,000 unsecured bank credit facility with a maturity date of July 31, 2028 , or such later date as designated by the bank; the Company also has two six-month extensions available if the extension options in the $ 625,000,000 facility are exercised. The interest rate is reset on a daily basis and as of December 31, 2024 , was SOFR plus 77.5 basis points with an annual facility fee of 15 basis points. As of December 31, 2024 , the interest rate was 5.335 % with no outstanding balance.
For both facilities, the margin and facility fee are subject to changes in the Company’s credit ratings. Although the Company’s current credit rating is Baa2, given the strength of the Company’s key credit metrics, initial pricing for the credit facilities is based on the BBB+/Baa1 credit ratings level. This favorable pricing level will be retained provided that the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in the applicable agreements, remains less than 32.5% .
The $ 625,000,000 facility also includes a sustainability-linked pricing component, pursuant to which the applicable interest rate margin is adjusted if the Company meets a certain sustainability performance target. This sustainability metric is evaluated annually and was achieved for the years ended December 31, 2024 , 2023, and 2022, which allowed for the interest rate reduction in each of the years subsequent to achieving the metric. The margin was effectively reduced on this unsecured bank credit facility for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, by one basis point, from 77.5 to 76.5 basis points.
Average unsecured bank credit facilities borrowings were $ 1,776,000 in 2024, $ 49,384,000 in 2023 and $ 182,478,000 in 2022, with weighted average interest rates (excluding amortization of facility fees and debt issuance costs) of 6.25 % in 2024, 5.68 % in 2023 and 2.32 % in 2022. Amortization of facility fees was $ 1,012,000 , $ 1,005,000 and $ 713,000 for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Amortization of debt issuance costs for the Company’s unsecured bank credit facilities was $ 1,036,000 , $ 1,003,000 and $ 650,000 for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The Company’s unsecured bank credit facilities have certain restrictive covenants, such as maintaining minimum debt service coverage and leverage ratios and maintaining insurance coverage, and the Company was in compliance with all of its financial debt covenants at December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Forward Equity Offering Activity
In connection with the Current ATM program, we may sell shares of our common stock through sales agents or through certain financial institutions acting as forward purchasers whereby, at our discretion, the forward counterparties, or their agents or affiliates, may borrow from third parties and subsequently sell shares of our common stock. The use of a forward equity sale agreement allows us to lock in a share price on the sale of shares of our common stock but defer settling and receiving the proceeds from the sale of shares until a later date. Additionally, the forward price that we expect to receive upon settlement of an agreement will be subject to adjustment for (i) a floating interest rate factor equal to a specified daily rate less a spread, (ii) the forward purchaser’s stock borrowing costs and (iii) scheduled dividends during the term of the agreement.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
There were 1,396,713 and 1,484,116 shares available for grant under the 2023 Equity Plan as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 1,422,437 shares available for grant under the 2013 Equity Plan as of December 31, 2022. Typically, the Company issues new shares to fulfill stock grants.
Employee Equity Awards
The Company’s restricted stock program is designed to provide incentives for management to achieve goals established by the Committee. The awards act as a retention device, as they vest over time, allowing participants to benefit from dividends on shares as well as potential stock appreciation. Equity awards align management’s interests with the long-term interests of shareholders.
The Committee approves long-term and annual equity compensation awards for the Company’s executive officers. The vesting periods of the Company’s restricted stock plans vary, as determined by the Committee. Restricted stock is granted to executive officers subject to both continued service and the satisfaction of certain annual performance goals and multi-year market conditions as determined by the Committee.
Long-term equity compensation awards
The long-term compensation awards include components based on the Company’s total shareholder return over the upcoming three-year period and the employee’s continued service as of the vesting dates. The total shareholder return component is subject to bright-line tests that compare the Company’s total shareholder return to the Nareit Equity Index and to the member companies of the Nareit industrial index.
The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation pricing model used to determine the grant date fair value of the multi-year market conditions component of the long-term compensation awards for 2024, 2023 and 2022:

Grant date fair value (in thousands) $ 4,442 4,885 2,912
The risk-free interest rate is based on zero coupon risk-free rates matching the three-year time period of the market performance period. The expected share price volatilities are based on a mix of the historical and implied volatilities of the Company and the peer group companies. The expected dividend yield is based on the expected annual cash dividend as of the valuation date divided by the Company’s stock price on the valuation date. These market based awards are expensed on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period ( 75 % vests at the end of the three-year performance period and 25 % vests the following year).

Specifically, the Company has entered into derivative instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative instruments, described below, are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash payments principally related to certain of the Company’s borrowings.
The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to change variable interest rates to fixed interest rates by using interest rate swaps. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments over the term of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
As of December 31, 2024 , EastGroup had six interest rate swaps outstanding, all of which are used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with unsecured loans. All of the Company’s interest rate swaps convert the related loans’ Term SOFR rate components to effectively fixed interest rates, and the Company has concluded that each of the hedging relationships is highly effective.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings through Interest expense as interest payments are made or received on the Company’s variable rate debt in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Company estimates that an additional $ 9,821,000 will be reclassified from O ther comprehensive income (loss) as a decrease to Interest expense over the next twelve months.
The Company’s valuation methodology for over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivatives is to discount cash flows based on SOFR market data. Uncollateralized or partially-collateralized trades include appropriate economic adjustments for funding costs and credit risk. The Company calculates its derivative valuations using mid-market prices.

Derivative financial agreements expose the Company to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties under the terms of the interest rate hedge agreements. The Company believes it minimizes the credit risk by transacting with financial institutions the Company regards as credit-worthy.
The Company has an agreement with its derivative counterparties containing a provision stating that the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender. As of December 31, 2024, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any of the provisions of these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value.

(16) FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. ASC 820 also provides guidance for using fair value to measure financial assets and liabilities. The Codification requires disclosure of the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, including measurements using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1), quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active (Level 2), and significant valuation assumptions that are not readily observable in the market (Level 3).

(1) Carrying amounts shown in the table are included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under the indicated captions, except as indicated in the notes below.
(2) Carrying amounts and fair values shown in the table exclude debt issuance costs (see Note 6 for additional information).
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments:
• Cash and cash equivalents: The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. The carrying amounts approximate fair value due to the short maturity of those instruments.
• Interest rate swap assets (included in Other assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets): The instruments are recorded at fair value based on models using inputs, such as interest rate yield curves, SOFR swap curves, observable for substantially the full term of the contract (Level 2 input). See Note 12 for additional information on the Company’s interest rate swaps.
• Unsecured debt: The fair value of the Company’s unsecured debt is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at the rates currently offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities, as advised by the Company’s bankers (Level 2 input), excluding the effects of debt issuance costs.
• Interest rate swap liabilities (included in Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets): The instruments are recorded at fair value based on models using inputs, such as interest rate yield curves, SOFR swap curves, observable for substantially the full term of the contract (Level 2 input). See Note 12 for additional information on the Company’s interest rate swaps.
(17) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to December 31, 2024, EastGroup settled outstanding forward equity sale agreements under the Current ATM Program by issuing 214,138 shares of common stock in exchange for net proceeds of approximately $ 37,005,000 .
Subsequent to year end, EastGroup refinanced a $ 100,000,000 senior unsecured term loan, reducing the credit spread by 30 basis points to a total effectively fixed interest rate of 4.97 %. The loan, which previously had five years remaining, now has a three-year maturity with two one-year extension options at the Company's election.

The federal income tax return for the year ended December 31, 2024, has not been filed and accordingly, this estimate is based on preliminary data.
(c) The Company computes depreciation using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the buildings (generally 40 years) and improvements (generally 3 to 15 years).
(d) The Company transfers properties from the development and value-add program to Real estate properties as follows: (i) for development properties, at the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year after completion of the shell construction, and (ii) for value-add properties, at the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year after acquisition. Upon the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year after completion of the shell construction, capitalization of development costs, including interest expense, property taxes and internal personnel costs, ceases and depreciation commences on the entire property (excluding the land).
(e) The right of use assets for ground leases, net of accumulated amortization, are included in Real Estate Properties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
