NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
Note 1. Organization and Description of Business
Postal Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on November 19, 2018. On May 17, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $ 0.01 per share (the “Class A common stock”). The Company contributed the net proceeds from the IPO to Postal Realty LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), in exchange for common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (the “OP Units”). Both the Company and the Operating Partnership commenced operations upon completion of the IPO and certain related formation transactions. Prior to the completion of the IPO and the formation transactions, the Company had no operations.
The Company’s interest in the Operating Partnership entitles the Company to share in distributions from, and allocations of profits and losses of, the Operating Partnership in proportion to the Company’s percentage ownership of OP Units. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company has the exclusive power under the partnership agreement to manage and conduct the Operating Partnership’s business, subject to limited approval and voting rights of the limited partners. As of March 31, 2025, the Company held an approximately 78.0 % interest in the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner and the majority interest holder, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity (“VIE”) in which the Company is the primary beneficiary.
As of March 31, 2025, the Company owned a portfolio of 1,738 properties located in 49 states and one territory. The Company’s properties are leased primarily to a single tenant, the United States Postal Service (the “USPS”). The Company also owns several, and may in the future further acquire, land parcels that may be added to existing or future leases with the USPS or used for other purposes that are consistent with the Company’s investment strategy.
In addition, through its taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”), Real Estate Asset Counseling, LLC (“REAC”), the Company provides fee-based third-party property management services for an additional 360 properties, which are owned by Andrew Spodek, the Company's chief executive officer ("CEO"), and his affiliates, and certain advisory services to third-party owners of postal properties.
Pursuant to the Company’s charter, the Company is currently authorized to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 27,206 shares of Class B common stock, $ 0.01 par value per share (the “Voting Equivalency stock”), and up to 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock.
The Company elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), commencing with the Company's short taxable year ended December 31, 2019, and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent that it distributes its REIT taxable income for each tax year to its stockholders. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. Additionally, any income earned by the TRS and any other TRS the Company may form in the future will be subject to federal, state and local corporate income tax.
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company, the Operating Partnership and its wholly owned subsidiaries.
The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, a VIE in which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Substantially all of the assets and liabilities of the Company relate to the Operating Partnership.
A non-controlling interest is defined as the portion of the equity in an entity not attributable, directly or indirectly, to the Company. Non-controlling interests are required to be presented as a separate component of equity in the Consolidated
6

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(CONTINUED)
Balance Sheets. Accordingly, the presentation of net income reflects the income attributed to controlling and non-controlling interests.
The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial state ments.
This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Management believes that all adjustments of a normal, recurring nature considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. This interim financial information does not necessarily represent or indicate what the operating results will be for the year ending December 31, 2025. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
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 and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. As discussed in the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, t he Company’s most significant assumptions and estimates are related to the valuation of investments in real estate properties and impairment of long-lived assets. Although management believes its estimates are reasonable, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Offering and Other Costs
Offering costs are recorded in “Total Stockholders’ Equity” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a reduction of additional paid-in capital.
Segment Reporting
The Company leases its properties primarily to the USPS and reports its business as a single reportable segment. The Company's Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") who allocates resources and assesses financial performance. The CODM reviews net income and assesses the performance of the Company's current portfolio of properties primarily leased to the USPS and makes operating decisions accordingly. Net income is used by the CODM in assessing the operating performance of the segment and to monitor budget versus actual results. The measure of segment assets is reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as total assets. As a result, the Company conducts its business as a single operating segment. All expense categories on the consolidated statement of operations are significant. Interest income is not a significant component of interest expense, net. As a part of his review as the CODM, the CEO also separately examines the equity-based compensation component of general and administrative expenses, which is also considered a significant segment expense.
Deferred Costs and Discounts
Financing costs related to the issuance of the Company’s long-term debt, including the term loan facility component of the Company's existing credit facilities (the "Credit Facilities"), are deferred and amortized as an increase to interest expense over the term of the related debt instrument using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective-interest rate method, and are reported as a reduction of the related debt balance on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred financing costs related to the revolving credit facility component (the "Revolving Credit Facility") of the Credit Facilities are deferred and amortized as an increase to interest expense over the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility and are included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Debt discounts represent fair value adjustments to account for the difference between the stated rates and market rates of debt assumed or entered in connection with the Company’s property acquisitions. The debt discounts are amortized to interest expense over the term of the related loans using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective-interest rate method, and are reported as a reduction of the related debt balance on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the net unamortized debt discounts was $ 0.2 million.

Revenue Recognition
The Company has operating lease agreements with tenants, some of which contain provisions for future rental increases. Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. In addition, certain lease agreements provide for reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes and other recoverable costs, which are recorded on an accrual basis as part of “Rental income” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The Company’s determination of the probability to collect lease payments is impacted by numerous factors, including the Company's assessment of the tenant’s creditworthiness, economic conditions, historical experience with the tenant, future prospects for the tenant and the length of the lease term. If leases currently classified as probable of collection are subsequently reclassified as not probable, any outstanding lease receivables (including straight-line rent receivables) would be written-off with a corresponding decrease in rental income. For certain leases with lease incentive costs, such costs are included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms as a reduction of rental revenues.
Fee and other primarily consists of (i) property management fees, (ii) income recognized from properties accounted for as financing leases and (iii) fees earned from providing advisory services to third-party owners of postal properties.
The management fees arise from contractual agreements with entities that are affiliated with the Company’s CEO. Management fee income is recognized as earned under the respective agreements.
Revenue from direct financing leases is recognized over the lease term using the effective interest rate method. At lease inception, the Company records an asset within "Investment in financing leases, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, which represents the Company’s net investment in the direct financing lease. This initial net investment is determined by aggregating the total future minimum lease payments attributable to the direct financing lease and the estimated residual value of the property, if any, less unearned income. Over the lease term, the investment in the direct financing lease is reduced and interest is recognized as revenue in “Fee and other” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income and produces a constant periodic rate of return on the "Investment in financing leases, net."
Revenue from advisory services is generated from service contracts generally based on (i) time and expense arrangements (where the Company recognizes revenues based on hours incurred and contracted rates), (ii) fixed-fee arrangements (where the Company recognizes revenues earned to date by applying the proportional performance method) or (iii) performance-based or contingent arrangements (where the Company recognizes revenues at a point in time when the client receives the benefit of the promised service). Reimbursable expenses for the advisory services, including those relating to

(CONTINUED)
travel, out-of-pocket expenses, outside consultants and other outside service costs, are generally included in revenues and in general and administrative expenses in the period in which the expense is incurred.
Fair Value Measurements
The following disclosure of estimated fair value was determined by management using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. However, considerable judgment is necessary to interpret market data and develop estimated fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could have realized on disposition of the assets and liabilities as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. The use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Cash, escrows and reserves, receivables, prepaid expenses and other assets (excluding derivatives), accounts payable and accrued expenses are carried at amounts which reasonably approximate their fair values as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 due to their short maturities.
The fair value of the Company’s borrowings under its Credit Facilities approximates carrying value because such borrowings are subject to a variable market rate, which reprices frequently. The fair value was determined using the Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined below) as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, plus an applicable spread under the Credit Facilities, a Level 2 classification in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of the Company’s secured borrowings aggregated approximately $ 29.3 million and $ 28.7 million as compared to the principal balance of $ 34.2 million and $ 34.3 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s secured borrowings was categorized as a Level 3 fair value estimate (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures) and was determined by discounting the future contractual interest and principal payments by a market rate.
The Company's derivative assets and liabilities, comprised of interest rate swap derivative instruments entered into in connection with the Credit Facilities, are recorded at fair value based on a variety of observable inputs, including contractual terms, interest rate curves, yield curves, measure of volatility and correlations of such inputs. The Company measures its derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis based on the expected amount of future cash flows on a discounted basis and incorporating a measure of non-performance risk. The fair value of the Company's derivative assets and liabilities was categorized as a Level 2 fair value estimate (as provided by ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures). The Company considers its own credit risk, as well as the credit risk of its counterparties, when evaluating the fair value of its derivative assets and liabilities. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap derivative assets was approximately $ 4.3 million and $ 6.7 million, respectively, included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of the Company's interest rate swap derivative liabilities was approximately $ 0.7 million and $ 0.3 million, respectively, included in "Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other, net" on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Disclosures about fair value of assets and liabilities are based on pertinent information available to management as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the fair value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since March 31, 2025 and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the amounts presented herein.
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
In accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, the Company records all derivative instruments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. See Note 6. Derivatives and Hedging Activities for further details.
Assets Held for Sale

Table of Contents
POSTAL REALTY TRUST, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(CONTINUED)
The Company may sell properties from time to time for various reasons, including the exercise of purchase options by our tenants. The Company classifies long-lived assets as held for sale once certain criteria have been met. The Company classifies a real estate property, or portfolio, as held for sale when: (i) management has approved the disposal, (ii) the property is available for sale in its present condition, (iii) an active program to locate a buyer has been initiated, (iv) it is probable that the property will be disposed of within one year, (v) the property is being marketed at a reasonable price relative to its fair value, and (vi) it is unlikely that the disposal plan will significantly change or be withdrawn. Following the classification of a property as “held for sale,” no further depreciation or amortization is recorded on the assets and the assets are recorded at the lower of carrying value or fair market value, less cost to sell. No properties were classified as held for sale as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
The carrying value of real estate investments and related intangible assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the asset’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Impairment analyses will be based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods or market conditions change, the evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences may be material. The evaluation of anticipated cash flows is subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company assessed the recoverability of the carrying amount of its real estate and related intangibles. The assessment resulted in the remeasurement of one property, based upon an
accumulation of costs in excess of what was originally expected, and such property was written down to its estimated fair value and was classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company's estimate of the fair value was based on a discounted cash flow analysis. The Company used two significant unobservable inputs which was the cash flow discount rate ( 11.0 %) and the terminal capitalization rate ( 10.0 %). The remeasurement resulted in an impairment loss of $ 0.1 million, which is included in "Casualty and impairment loss, net" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. No impairments were recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Concentration of Credit Risks
As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s properties were leased primarily to a single tenant, the USPS. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, approximately 11.0 % of the Company’s total rental income, or $ 2.4 million, was concentrated in Pennsylvania. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, approximately 12.4 % of the Company's total rental income, or $ 2.1 million, was concentrated in Pennsylvania. The ability of the USPS to honor the terms of its leases is dependent upon regulatory, economic, environmental or competitive conditions in Pennsylvania or other regions where the Company operates in and could have a material effect on the Company’s overall business results.
The Company has deposited cash and maintains its bank deposits with large financial institutions in amounts that, from time to time, exceed federally insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Equity-Based Compensation
The Company accounts for equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718 Compensation – Stock Compensation, which requires the Company to recognize an expense for the grant date fair value of equity-based awards. Equity-classified stock awards granted to employees and non-employees that have a service condition and/or a market condition are measured at fair value at date of grant and remeasured at fair value only upon a modification of the award. The Company records forfeitures as a reduction of equity-based compensation expense as such forfeitures occur.
The Company recognizes compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each award, with the amount of compensation expense recognized at the end of a reporting period at least equal to the portion of fair value of the respective award at grant date or modification date, as applicable, that has vested through that date. For awards with a market condition, compensation cost is not reversed if a market condition is not met so long as the requisite service has been rendered, as a market condition does not represent a vesting condition.

Insurance Accounting
The Company carries liability insurance to mitigate its exposure to certain losses, including those relating to property damage and business interruption. The Company records the estimated amount of expected insurance proceeds for property damage and other losses incurred as an asset (typically a receivable from the insurer) and income up to the amount of the losses incurred when the amount is determinable and approved by the insurance company. Any amount of insurance recovery in excess of the amount of the losses incurred is considered a gain contingency and is not recorded in other income until the amount is determinable and approved by the insurance company. Insurance recoveries for business interruption for lost revenue or profit are accounted for as gain contingencies in their entirety, and therefore are not recorded in income until the amount is determinable and approved by the insurance company.
Earnings Per Share
The Company calculates earnings per share ("EPS") based upon the weighted average shares outstanding less issued and outstanding non-vested shares of Class A common stock. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had unvested restricted shares of Class A common stock, long term incentive units of the Operating Partnership ("LTIP Units") and certain restricted stock units (“RSUs”), which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend and dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested restricted shares of Class A common stock, LTIP Units and RSUs are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic and diluted EPS pursuant to the two-class method. Diluted EPS is calculated after giving effect to all potential dilutive shares outstanding during the period. See Note 10. Earnings Per Share for further details .
Recent Accounting Standards
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”). The amendments in ASU 2024-03 apply to all public business entities and require disclosure of specified information about certain costs and expenses. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods 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 potential impact of adopting ASU 2024-03.

Casualty Loss, Net
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $ 0.5 million in gross charges primarily related to the net book value of two properties damaged and related repairs, partially offset by an estimated $ 0.4 million of related insurance claims, that are included in “Rent and other receivables” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, that the Company believes is probable it will recover, resulting in a net charge of $ 0.1 million included within "Casualty and impairment losses, net" in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. The Company expects insurance proceeds to cover substantially all of such loss subject to applicable deductibles.
The Company has comprehensive all risk property insurance coverage on its two properties subject to the casualty losses, including for business interruption, with an aggregate $ 15.2 million limit of liability, subject to conditions, exclusions, deductibles and sub-limits.
To the extent insurance proceeds ultimately exceed the difference between replacement cost and net book value of the damaged assets and any related expenses incurred, the excess will be reflected as income in the period those amounts are determinable and approved by the insurance company.
No determination has been made as to the total amount of timing of insurance payments that may be received as a result of the events.

Explanatory Notes :
(1) On August 9, 2021, the Company had entered into the Credit Facilities, which initially included the $ 150.0 million Revolving Credit Facility and the $ 50.0 million 2021 Term Loan. On May 11, 2022, the Company amended the Credit Facilities (the "First Amendment") to, among other things, add a new $ 75.0 million senior unsecured delayed draw term loan facility (the "2022 Term Loan" and, together with the 2021 Term Loan, the "Term Loans"), replace the LIBOR with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") as the benchmark interest rate and allow for a decrease in the applicable margin by 0.02 % if the Company achieves certain sustainability targets. On December 6, 2022, the Company exercised $ 40.0 million of term loan accordion under the 2022 Term Loan. On July 24, 2023, the Company amended the Credit Facilities (the "Second Amendment") to, among other things, add a daily simple SOFR-based option to the term SOFR-based floating interest rate option as a benchmark rate for borrowings under the Credit Facilities and further exercised $ 35.0 million of accordion under the Term Loans. On October 25, 2024, the Company amended the Credit Facilities (the "Third Amendment") to, among other things, increase the 2022 Term Loan commitments in an aggregate principal amount of up to $ 50.0 million in which the Company further exercised $ 40.0 million under the 2022 Term Loan, and on a delayed-draw basis, $ 10.0 million.

The Credit Facilities include an accordion feature which permits the Company to borrow up to an additional (i) $ 150.0 million under the Revolving Credit Facility and (ii) $ 50.0 million under the Term Loans, subject to customary terms and conditions. The Revolving Credit Facility matures in January 2026, which may be extended for two six-month periods subject to customary conditions, the 2021 Term Loan matures in January 2027 and the 2022 Term Loan matures in February 2028. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities carry an interest rate of, (i) in the case of the Revolving Credit Facility, either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.5 % to 1.0 % per annum or Adjusted Term SOFR (as defined below) plus a margin ranging from 1.5 % to 2.0 % per annum, or (ii) in the case of the Term Loans, either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.45 % to 0.95 % per annum or Adjusted Term SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.45 % to 1.95 % per annum, in each case depending on the Company's consolidated leverage ratio. With respect to the Revolving Credit Facility, the Company will pay, if the usage is equal to or less than 50 %, an unused facility fee of 0.20 % per annum, or if the usage is greater than 50 %, an unused facility fee of 0.15 % per annum, in each case on the average daily unused commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Facilities contain a number of customary financial and non-financial covenants.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company incurred $ 0.06 million and during the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company incurred $ 0.07 million of unused facility fees related to the Revolving Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all of the Credit Facilities’ debt covenants.
(2) Based upon the applicable SOFR rate plus a SOFR adjustment of 0.10 %, subject to a 0 % floor (the “Adjusted Term SOFR”) .
(3) Five properties are collateralized under this loan and Mr. Spodek also provided a personal guarantee of payment for 50 % of the outstanding amount thereunder. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.69 % for the first five years with interest payments only (ending in October 2026), then adjusting every subsequent five-year period thereafter with principal and interest payments to the rate based on the five-year weekly average yield on United States Treasury securities adjusted to a constant maturity of five years , as made available to the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the "Five-Year Treasury Rate"), plus a margin of 2.75 %, with a minimum annual rate of 2.75 %.
(4) The loan is collateralized by first mortgage liens on four properties and a personal guarantee of payment by Mr. Spodek. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.625 % for the first five years (ending in August 2026), then adjusting annually thereafter to a variable annual rate of Wall Street Journal Prime Rate with a minimum annual rate of 3.625 %.
(5) The loan is collateralized by first mortgage liens on one property and a personal guarantee of payment by Mr. Spodek. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 3.69 % for the first five years with interest payments only (ending in October 2026), then adjusting every subsequent five-year period thereafter with principal and interest payments to the rate based on the Five-Year Treasury Rate, plus a margin of 2.75 %, with a minimum annual rate of 2.75 %.
(6) In connection with the acquisition of a property, the Company obtained seller financing secured by the property in the amount of $ 0.4 million requiring five annual payments of principal and interest of $ 0.1 million with the first installment due on January 2, 2021 based on a 6.0 % interest rate per annum through January 2, 2025. As of January 2, 2025, the seller financing has been fully repaid.
(7) The loan is secured by a first mortgage lien on an industrial property located in Warrendale, Pennsylvania. The loan has a fixed interest rate of 2.80 % with interest-only payments for the first five years (ending in January 2026) and fixed payments of principal and interest thereafter based on a 30-year amortization schedule.
(8) In connection with the acquisition of two properties, the Company obtained seller financing secured by the properties in the amount of $ 1.4 million based on a fixed interest rate of 5.00 % with interest-only payments through September 1, 2039.
The weighted average maturity date for the Company's indebtedness as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was approximately 2.9 years and 3.2 years, respectively.

Explanatory Note :
(1) Reflects the all-in effective interest rate for the specified portion of the Term Loans hedged by the interest rate swaps.
The Company’s objectives in using the interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company uses the interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. The interest rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges, with any gain or loss recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and subsequently reclassified into interest expense as interest payments are made on the Credit Facilities. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $ 2.4 million will be reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income” as a decrease to interest expense.
The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company also had derivatives in a net liability position and did not post any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions as of March 31, 2025, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreements of any interest rate swap in a net liability position for approximately $ 0.7 million, which is at their termination value.
Note 7. Leases
Lessor Accounting
As of March 31, 2025, the Company's properties were leased primarily to the USPS, with leases expiring at various dates through June 30, 2035. Certain leases had expired and were in holdover status as of March 31, 2025 as discussed below. Certain leases contain renewal, termination and/or purchase options exercisable at the lessee’s election. Therefore, such options are only recognized once they are deemed reasonably certain, typically at the time the option is exercised. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases with the exception of two that are direct financing leases. The Company's operating leases and direct financing leases are described below.
Rental income related to the Company’s leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. The Company’s total revenue includes fixed base rental payments provided under the lease and variable payments which principally consist of tenant expense reimbursements for certain property operating expenses, including real estate taxes. The Company elected the practical expedient to account for its lease and non-lease components as a single combined operating lease component under Topic 842. As a result, rental income and tenant reimbursements were aggregated into a single line within rental income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income.
The following table represents rental revenue that the Company recognized related to its operating leases (in thousands):

As such, the above minimum lease payments to be received do not include payments under these holdover leases. Holdover rent is typically paid as the greater of estimated market rent or the rent amount due under the expired lease.
Purchase Option Provisions
As of March 31, 2025, operating leases for 88 of the Company’s properties provided the USPS with the option to purchase the underlying property either at fair market value or at fixed prices (1) , in each case as of dates set forth in the lease. As of March 31, 2025, 85 of these properties had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $ 62.5 million with an aggregate purchase option price of approximately $ 80.4 million and the remaining three properties had an aggregate carrying value of approximately $ 3.0 million with purchase options exercisable at fair market value.

Lessee Accounting
As a lessee, the Company has ground and office leases which were classified as operating leases. As of March 31, 2025, these leases had remaining terms, including renewal options, of 0.3 years to 57.8 years and a weighted average remaining lease term of 21.3 years. Operating right-of-use ("ROU") assets and lease liabilities are included in “Prepaid expenses and other assets, net” and “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other, net” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as follows (in thousands):

As of

2024
ROU asset – operating leases
$ 2,131 $ 2,188
Lease liability – operating leases $ 2,116 $ 2,165
The difference between the recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities is mainly due to the reclassification of the below market ground lease intangible asset which was included within the ROU assets recognized upon transition.
Operating lease assets and liabilities are measured at the commencement date based on the present value of future lease payments. As most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date in determining the present value of future payments. The Company used a discount rate ranging from 4.25 % to 7.35 % based on the yield of its current borrowings in determining its lease liabilities.
Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease if it is reasonably certain that the Company will exercise that option.
Operating lease expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 was $ 0.09 million and $ 0.07 million, respectively. See Note 9. Related Party Transactions for more details.

Note 10. Earnings Per Share
EPS is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. The following table presents a reconciliation of income from operations used in the basic and diluted EPS calculations (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data).
For the Three Months Ended
March 31,
2025 2024
Numerator for earnings per share – basic and diluted:
Net income attributable to common stockholders $ 2,082 $ 206
Less: Income attributable to participating securities ( 590 ) ( 375 )
Numerator for earnings per share — basic and diluted $ 1,492 $ ( 169 )
Denominator for earnings per share – basic and diluted (1)
23,216,150 22,045,310
Basic and diluted net (loss) income per share $ 0.06 $ ( 0.01 )
Explanatory Note :
(1) Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of restricted shares and RSUs issued under the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) (See Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity). The effect of such shares and RSUs would not be dilutive and were not included in the computation of weighted average number of shares outstanding for the periods presented in the table above. OP Units and LTIP Units are redeemable for cash or, at the Company’s option, shares of Class A common stock on an one -for-one basis. The income allocable to such OP Units and LTIP Units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as non-controlling interests in these unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these OP Units and LTIP Units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted EPS.
Note 11. Stockholders’ Equity
