These forward-looking statements are based on information currently available to the Company and are subject to a number of known and unknown assumptions, risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance, plans or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. These factors include, among other things, those discussed below. The Company intends for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, as applicable by law. The Company does not undertake to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of changes in underlying assumptions or new information, future events or otherwise, except as may be required by law.

The following are some, but not all, of the risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those presented in the Company’s forward-looking statements (the Company refers to itself as “we,” “us” or “our” in the following):

•international, national, regional and local economic conditions;

•the competitive environment in which the Company operates;

•fluctuations of occupancy or rental rates;

•potential defaults (including bankruptcies or insolvency) on or non-renewal of leases by tenants, or our ability to lease space at current or anticipated rents, particularly in light of ongoing interest rate uncertainty;

•disruption in supply and delivery chains;

•our ability to maintain our qualification as a REIT;

•natural disasters such as fires, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes or other extreme weather events, which may or may not be directly caused by longer-term shifts in climate patterns, could destroy buildings and damage regional economies;

•the availability of financing and capital, increases in or long-term elevated interest rates, and our ability to raise equity capital on attractive terms;

•financing risks, including the risks that our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest, and we may be unable to refinance our existing debt upon maturity or obtain new financing on attractive terms or at all;

•our ability to retain our credit agency ratings;

•our ability to comply with applicable financial covenants;

•credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to our interest rate swaps;

•how and when pending forward equity sales may settle;

•lack of or insufficient amounts of insurance;

•litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes;

•our ability to attract and retain key personnel or lack of adequate succession planning;

•risks related to the failure, inadequacy or interruption of our data security systems and processes, including security breaches through cyber attacks;

•pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies, such as the coronavirus pandemic;

•potentially catastrophic events such as acts of war, civil unrest and terrorism; and

•environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by us.

All forward-looking statements should be read in light of the risks identified in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors within this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.

ITEM 1. BUSINESS.

The Company

EastGroup Properties, Inc., which we refer to in this Annual Report as the “Company,” “EastGroup,” “we,” “us” or “our,” is an internally-managed equity REIT first organized in 1969. EastGroup is focused on the development, acquisition and operation of industrial properties in major Sunbelt markets throughout the United States, primarily in the states of Texas, Florida, California, Arizona and North Carolina. EastGroup’s strategy for growth is based on ownership of premier distribution facilities generally clustered near major transportation features in supply-constrained submarkets. EastGroup is a Maryland corporation, and its common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “EGP.” The Company has elected to be taxed and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”).

Available Information

The Company maintains a website at www.eastgroup.net. The Company posts to its website all of the reports it files or furnishes with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Exchange Act, including its annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and the exhibits and amendments to those reports, as soon as reasonably practicable after it electronically files or furnishes such materials to the SEC. In addition, the Company’s website includes items related to corporate governance matters, including, among other things, the Company’s corporate governance guidelines, charters of various committees of the Board of Directors, the Company's whistleblower program and the Company’s code of ethics and business conduct applicable to all employees, officers and directors. The Company intends to disclose on its website any amendment to, or waiver of, any provision of this code of business conduct and ethics applicable to the Company’s directors and executive officers that would otherwise be required to be disclosed under the rules of the SEC or the New York Stock Exchange. Copies of these reports and corporate governance documents may be obtained, free of charge, from the Company’s website. We are providing our website address solely for the information of investors, and the information on our website is not a part of or incorporated by reference into this annual report on Form 10-K or our other filings with the SEC.

You may also access any materials we file with the SEC through the EDGAR database on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

Administration

EastGroup maintains its principal executive office and headquarters in Ridgeland, Mississippi. The Company also has regional offices in Dallas, Los Angeles and Atlanta and asset management offices in Houston, Orlando, Tampa and Phoenix. EastGroup's property management teams are located in San Antonio, Austin, Miami, Jacksonville, San Francisco, Charlotte, Las Vegas and Greenville. These locations allow the Company to provide property management services to 87% of the Company’s operating portfolio on a square foot basis. In addition, the Company currently provides property administration (accounting of operations) for its entire portfolio. The regional offices in Texas, California and Georgia provide oversight of the Company’s development and value-add program (as described in Note 1(e) in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements). As of December 31, 2024, EastGroup had 101 full-time employees.

Business Overview

EastGroup’s goal is to maximize shareholder value by being a leading provider in its markets of functional, flexible and quality business distribution space for location-sensitive customers (primarily in the 20,000 to 100,000 square foot range). The Company develops, acquires and operates distribution facilities, the majority of which are clustered around major transportation features in supply-constrained submarkets in major Sunbelt regions. The Company’s core markets are in the states of Texas, Florida, California, Arizona and North Carolina.

As of December 31, 2024, EastGroup owned 536 industrial properties in 12 states. As of that same date, the Company’s portfolio, including development projects and value-add properties in lease-up and under construction, included approximately 63.1 million square feet consisting of 497 business distribution properties containing 57.8 million square feet, 17 bulk distribution properties containing 4.4 million square feet, and 22 business service properties containing 900,000 square feet. As of December 31, 2024, EastGroup’s operating portfolio was 97.1% leased to tenants in approximately 1,600 leases, with no single tenant accounting for more than approximately 1.6% of the Company’s annualized based rent (as defined in Item 2.

Properties) for the year ended December 31, 2024. The properties in the Company's development and value-add program were 21.8% leased as of December 31, 2024.

During 2024, EastGroup increased its holdings in real estate properties through its acquisition and development programs. The Company acquired 2,474,000 square feet of operating properties and 61.1 acres of land for a total of $403,773,000. Also during 2024, the Company began construction of 10 development projects containing 1,585,000 square feet and transferred seven projects, which contain 1,519,000 square feet and had costs of $199,971,000 at the date of transfer, from its development and value-add program to real estate properties.

During 2024, EastGroup sold a group of operating properties in the Jackson, Mississippi market, containing 159,000 square feet and disposed of 5.4 acres of land in two markets, generating gross sales proceeds of $18,311,000.

In the near term, the Company funds its development and acquisition programs through its $675,000,000 unsecured bank credit facilities, as discussed under the heading Liquidity and Capital Resources in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As market conditions permit, EastGroup issues equity or employs fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, to replace short-term bank borrowings. Moody’s Investors Service has assigned EastGroup an issuer rating of Baa2 with a stable outlook. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. For future debt issuances, the Company intends to issue primarily unsecured fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps. The Company may also access the public debt market in the future as a means to raise capital.

EastGroup plans to hold its properties as long-term investments but may determine to sell certain properties that no longer meet its investment criteria. The Company may provide financing to a prospective purchaser in connection with such sales of property if market conditions require. In addition, the Company may provide financing to a partner or co-owner in connection with an acquisition of real estate in certain situations.

Subject to the requirements necessary to maintain EastGroup’s qualifications as a REIT, the Company may acquire securities of entities engaged in real estate activities or securities of other issuers, including for the purpose of exercising control over those entities.

The strategies and policies set forth above were determined and are subject to review by EastGroup’s Board of Directors, which may change such strategies or policies based upon its evaluation of the state of the real estate market, the performance of EastGroup’s assets, capital and credit market conditions, and other relevant factors.

Competition

The market for the leasing of industrial real estate is competitive. We experience competition for tenants from existing properties in proximity to our buildings as well as from new development. Institutional investors, other REITs and local real estate operators generally own such properties; however, no single competitor or small group of competitors is dominant in our current markets. Even so, as a result of competition, we may have to provide concessions, incur charges for tenant improvements or offer other inducements, all of which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations. The market for the acquisition of industrial real estate is also competitive. We compete for real property investments with other REITs and institutional investors such as pension funds and their advisors, private real estate investment funds, insurance company investment accounts, private investment companies, individuals and other entities engaged in real estate investment activities.

Regulations

Compliance with various governmental regulations has an impact on EastGroup’s business, including EastGroup’s capital expenditures, earnings and competitive position, which can be material. EastGroup incurs costs to monitor and take actions to comply with governmental regulations that are applicable to its business, which include, among others, federal securities laws and regulations, applicable stock exchange requirements, REIT and other tax laws and regulations, environmental and health and safety laws and regulations, local zoning, usage and other regulations relating to real property, and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (“ADA”).

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances on or in such property. Many such laws impose liability without regard to whether the owner knows of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. The presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell or rent such property or to use such property as collateral in its borrowings. EastGroup’s properties have generally been subject to Phase I Environmental Site Assessments (“ESAs”) by independent environmental consultants and, as necessary, have

been subjected to Phase II ESAs. These reports have not revealed any potential significant environmental liability. Our management is not aware of any environmental liability that would have a material adverse effect on EastGroup’s business, assets, financial position or results of operations.

See “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this Annual Report for a discussion of material risks to EastGroup, including related to governmental regulations and environmental matters.

Corporate Responsibility Matters

EastGroup’s commitment to corporate responsibility initiatives is evidenced by its building standards, corporate policies and procedures and company culture. At EastGroup, protecting the environment is important to the Company’s employees, customers and communities. The Company strives to support sustainability through its commitment to build high performance and environmentally responsible properties. Through EastGroup’s continued efforts, numerous properties have been certified through the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (“LEED®”) green building program, ENERGY STAR® and the BOMA 360 Performance Program® of the Building Owners and Managers Association (“BOMA”) International®. While formal certification is not always pursued, the Company prioritizes the use of energy and water efficient fixtures during development and consistently invests in efficiency improvements for existing properties, such as LED lighting, white reflective roofing, electric vehicle charging stations and smart sensor irrigation systems. The Company believes that its continued commitment to these practices creates positive impacts on the environment and long-term value for the Company and its stakeholders.

The Company has an unsecured revolving credit facility subject to a sustainability-linked pricing component, pursuant to which the applicable interest margin and facility fee may be adjusted annually based on a sustainability performance metric as calculated for the preceding year. This metric is based on the number of newly-constructed buildings with qualifying electric vehicle charging stations as a percentage of total qualifying buildings for each fiscal year. The impact to interest rates on the credit facility is further described in Note 5 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

During 2024, EastGroup continued to work with a sustainability consulting firm to track and benchmark the Company's environmental data and further expand its corporate responsibility policies, practices and voluntary disclosures. Using the data obtained from these efforts, EastGroup completed its second annual GRESB® Real Estate Assessment, which provided the Company with additional insight into its environmental, social and governance management and performance as compared to its industry peers.

The Company also adopted its Corporate Responsibility Policy during 2024, formalizing EastGroup's commitments, goals and targets related to topics such as environmental sustainability, climate resilience, social responsibility, stakeholder engagement and corporate governance. EastGroup assesses climate-related risks using information obtained through third-party risk and resilience assessments and seeks to engage with tenants on climate risk and other environmental matters, including through newsletters, recycling initiatives, Earth Day celebrations, and other tenant appreciation events at many of its properties.

In addition, EastGroup and its employees are committed to social responsibility and are active participants in the communities where they live and work. EastGroup’s employees volunteer with numerous charitable organizations, and the Company coordinates volunteer opportunities for its employees and provides paid time off for volunteering in order to encourage participation and increase social engagement in all of the communities in which it operates.

EastGroup operates on the premise that good corporate governance is fundamental to the Company’s business and core values, and the Company believes its corporate governance policies and practices are well aligned with the interests of stakeholders. The honesty and integrity of the Company’s management and Board of Directors are critical assets in maintaining the trust of the Company’s investors, employees, customers, vendors and the communities in which the Company operates.

Readers are encouraged to visit the “Priorities” page of the Company’s website and review its latest corporate responsibility reports and policies for more detail regarding EastGroup’s corporate responsibility programs and initiatives. Nothing on the Company’s website or in the referenced reports or policies shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Human Capital Matters

We believe our employees are a critical component of the success and sustainability of our Company, and we are committed to providing a diverse and inclusive work environment that encourages collaboration and teamwork.

•Workforce Diversity: As of December 31, 2024, we employed 101 team members, across 15 locations in Texas, Florida, California, Arizona, North Carolina, Nevada, Georgia, Mississippi and South Carolina. As of such date,

100% of these employees were full-time and none were members of a union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement. Our team is comprised of the following types of personnel:

•asset, construction and property managers;

•accounting, administrative, human resources, investor relations and information technology professionals; and

•our corporate leadership team.

As of December 31, 2024, our employee base is gender diverse, comprised of 72% women and 28% men. Also, of the employees hired during the year ended December 31, 2024, 67% are women. The officer group is comprised of 49% women and 51% men. As of December 31, 2024, 14% of our employees self-identified as members of a racial or ethnic minority group. Our Board of Directors is 29% comprised of women, and one of the seven Board members is a member of a racial or ethnic minority group. With 101 employees and seven directors, each team member plays a vital role in the success of the Company.

•Employee Tenure: We believe our culture supports our employees and creates a positive, professional environment that encourages longevity for our team members. We seek to develop leaders and promote from within the organization when opportunities arise. As of December 31, 2024, the average tenure of our workforce was 10 years, and 12 years for our officers; 76% of our employees at the manager level and above were promoted from within the Company. Our voluntary turnover rate was 4%, and our involuntary turnover rate was 1% during the year ended December 31, 2024.

•Compensation, Benefits, Health and Safety: We offer a competitive pay structure along with a comprehensive employee benefits program and what we believe are socially-responsible policies and practices in order to support the overall well-being of our employees and create a safe, professional and inclusive work environment. Some of the benefits we offer include a robust 401(k) matching program with additional discretionary profit-sharing contributions, a company-wide equity compensation award program, generous personal leave, paid parental leave, flexible work schedules, paid time off for volunteering and annual health and wellness checkups, employer-paid health insurance for all full-time employees, access to mental healthcare, tobacco cessation program and athletic club and tuition reimbursement programs. All of our employees are eligible for performance based annual bonuses based on a percentage of salary.

•Training and Development: We have a formal, certificate-based learning program for all employees; learning objectives include topics such as ethics and anti-corruption, cybersecurity, anti-discrimination, diversity, equity and inclusion, unconscious bias, anti-harassment, and workplace violence and bullying. Additional trainings covering numerous environmental sustainability topics and trends are available to employees through our third-party sustainability consultant. All of our employees participate in annual performance reviews and feedback sessions. Our employees are provided with training and peer mentoring programs to further develop their professional skill set, along with reimbursements for professional designations and continuing education, enhancing the level of service provided to our customers and the quality of information disclosed to our stakeholders. We also offer a Director Education Program, providing educational resources to our Board of Directors.

•Policies: We have various policies and practices in place, including a Code of Ethics and Business Conduct, Ethics Line, Standards of Conduct, Equal Opportunity & Commitment to Diversity, ADA & Reasonable Accommodation, Family Medical Leave, Parental Leave, Community Service, Workplace Violence Prevention, Cybersecurity, Corporate Responsibility Policy, Human Rights Statement, Vendor Code of Conduct, Commitment to Safety & Health and Safety Policy, Healthy, Wealthy, Wise Benefits Summary and an Environmental Management System.

•Company and Board Engagement: We value our employees, and our focus on human capital management and other corporate responsibility initiatives is at the forefront of discussions and decisions with both management and the Board of Directors. On a regular basis, Company management holds corporate responsibility discussions with the Board of Directors; in 2024, our management and the Board of Directors formally met to discuss these topics four times. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors has direct oversight of our corporate responsibility program and initiatives, and in 2024, met for two formal discussions on these topics and also received periodic updates from Company management.

Supplemental U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations

The following discussion supplements and updates the disclosures under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations” in the prospectus dated December 16, 2022, contained in our Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed with the

SEC on December 16, 2022. Capitalized terms herein that are not otherwise defined shall have the same meaning as when used in such disclosures (as supplemented).

On December 29, 2022, the IRS promulgated final Treasury Regulations under Sections 897, 1441, 1445, and 1446 of the Code that were, in part, intended to coordinate various withholding regimes for non-U.S. stockholders. The new Treasury Regulations provide that:

(i)The withholding rules applicable to ordinary REIT dividends paid to a non-U.S. stockholder (generally, a 30% rate of withholding on gross amounts unless otherwise reduced by treaty or effectively connected with such non-U.S. stockholder’s trade or business within the U.S. and proper certifications are provided) will apply to (a) that portion of any distribution paid by us that is not designated as a capital gain dividend, a return of basis or a distribution in excess of the non-U.S. stockholder’s adjusted basis in its stock that is treated as gain from the disposition of such stock and (b) any portion of a capital gain dividend paid by us that is not treated as gain attributable to the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest by reason of the recipient not owning more than 10% of a class of our stock that is regularly traded on an established securities market during the one-year period ending on the date of the capital gain dividend.

(ii)The withholding rules under FIRPTA will apply to a distribution paid by us in excess of a non-U.S. stockholder’s adjusted basis in our stock, unless the interest in our stock is not a U.S. real property interest (for example, because we are a domestically controlled qualified investment entity) or the distribution is paid to a “withholding qualified holder.” A “withholding qualified holder” means a qualified holder (as defined below) and a foreign partnership all of the interests of which are held by qualified holders, including through one or more partnerships.

(iii)The withholding rules under FIRPTA will apply to any portion of a capital gain dividend paid to a non-U.S. stockholder that is attributable to the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest, unless it is paid to a withholding qualified holder.

In the case of FIRPTA withholding under clause (ii) above, the applicable withholding rate is currently 15%, and in the case of

FIRPTA withholding under clause (iii) above the withholding rate is currently 21%. For purposes of FIRPTA withholding under clause (iii), whether a capital gain dividend is attributable to the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest is determined taking into account the general exception from FIRPTA distribution treatment for distributions paid to certain non-U.S. stockholders under which any distribution by us to a non-U.S. stockholder with respect to any class of stock which is regularly traded on an established securities market located in the United States is not treated as gain recognized from the sale or exchange of a U.S. real property interest if such non-U.S. stockholder did not own more than 10% of such class of stock at any time during the one-year period ending on the date of such distribution. To the extent inconsistent, these Treasury Regulations supersede the discussion on withholding contained in the above-referenced disclosures (as supplemented) under the heading “Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders.” However, if, notwithstanding these Treasury Regulations, we encounter difficulties in properly characterizing a distribution for purposes of the withholding rules, we may decide to withhold on such distribution at the highest possible U.S. federal withholding rate that we determine could apply.

Treasury Regulations also provide new guidance regarding qualified foreign pension funds. Accordingly, the discussion contained in the paragraph under “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations – Taxation of Non-U.S. Shareholders – Qualified Foreign Pension Funds” is hereby deleted and replaced with the following:

Qualified Foreign Pension Funds. In general, for FIRPTA purposes, and subject to the discussion below regarding “qualified holders,” neither a “qualified foreign pension fund” (as defined below) nor any entity all of the interests of which are held by a qualified foreign pension fund is treated as a foreign person, thereby exempting such entities from tax under FIRPTA. A “qualified foreign pension fund” is an organization or arrangement (i) created or organized in a foreign country, (ii) established by a foreign country (or one or more political subdivisions thereof) or one or more employers to provide retirement or pension benefits to current or former employees (including self-employed individuals) or their designees as a result of, or in consideration for, services rendered, (iii) which does not have a single participant or beneficiary that has a right to more than 5% of its assets or income, (iv) which is subject to government regulation and with respect to which annual information about its beneficiaries is provided, or is otherwise available, to relevant local tax authorities and (v) with respect to which, under its local laws, (A) contributions that would otherwise be subject to tax are deductible or excluded from its gross income or taxed at a reduced rate, or (B) taxation of its investment income is deferred, or such income is excluded from its gross income or taxed at a reduced rate. Under Treasury Regulations, subject to the discussion below regarding “qualified holders,” a “qualified controlled entity” also is not generally treated as a foreign person for purposes of FIRPTA. A qualified controlled entity generally includes a trust or corporation organized under the laws of a foreign country all of the interests of which are held by one or more qualified foreign pension funds either directly or indirectly through one or more qualified controlled entities.

Treasury Regulations further require that a qualified foreign pension fund or qualified controlled entity will not be exempt from FIRPTA with respect to dispositions of U.S. real property interests or REIT distributions attributable to the same unless the qualified foreign pension fund or qualified controlled entity is a “qualified holder.” To be a qualified holder, a qualified foreign pension fund or qualified controlled entity must satisfy one of two alternative tests at the time of the disposition of the U.S. real property interest or the REIT distribution. Under the first test, a qualified foreign pension fund or qualified controlled entity is a qualified holder if it owned no U.S. real property interests as of the earliest date during an uninterrupted period ending on the date of the disposition or distribution during which it qualified as a qualified foreign pension fund or qualified controlled entity. Alternatively, if a qualified foreign pension fund or qualified controlled entity held U.S. real property interests as of the earliest date during the period described in the preceding sentence, it can be a qualified holder only if it satisfies certain testing period requirements.

Treasury Regulations also provide that a foreign partnership all of the interests of which are held by qualified holders, including through one or more partnerships, may certify its status as such and will not be treated as a foreign person for purposes of withholding under Section 1445 of the Code (and Section 1446 of the Code, as applicable).

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

In addition to the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this document, readers should carefully consider the following risk factors. Any of these risks or the occurrence of any one or more of the uncertainties described below could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and the performance of its business. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to the Company or that the Company currently deems immaterial also may impair its business operations.

Real Estate Industry Risks

We face risks associated with local real estate conditions in areas where we own properties. We may be adversely affected by general economic conditions and local real estate conditions. For example, an oversupply of industrial properties in a local area or a decline in the attractiveness of our properties to tenants would have a negative effect on us. Other factors that may affect general economic conditions or local real estate conditions include:

•population and demographic trends;

•employment and personal income trends;

•income and other tax laws;

•changes in interest rates and availability and costs of financing;

•increased operating costs, including insurance premiums, utilities and real estate taxes, due to inflation and other factors which may not necessarily be offset by increased rents;

•changes in the price of oil;

•construction costs; and

•weather-related and climate-related events.

We may be unable to compete for properties and tenants. The real estate business is highly competitive. We compete for interests in properties with other real estate investors and purchasers, some of whom have greater financial resources, revenues and geographical diversity than we have. Furthermore, we compete for tenants with other property owners. All of our industrial properties are subject to significant local competition. We also compete with a wide variety of institutions and other investors for capital funds necessary to support our investment activities and asset growth.

We are subject to significant regulation that constrains our activities. Local zoning and land use laws, environmental statutes and other governmental requirements restrict our expansion, rehabilitation and reconstruction activities. These regulations may prevent us from taking advantage of economic opportunities. Legislation such as the ADA may require us to modify our properties, and noncompliance could result in the imposition of fines or an award of damages to private litigants. Future legislation may impose additional requirements. We cannot predict what requirements may be enacted or what changes may be implemented to existing legislation.

Risks Associated with Our Properties

We may be unable to lease space on favorable terms or at all. When a lease expires, a tenant may elect not to renew it. We may not be able to re-lease the property on favorable terms, if we are able to re-lease the property at all. The terms of renewal or re-lease (including the cost of required renovations and/or concessions to tenants) may be less favorable to us than the prior lease. We also routinely develop properties with no pre-leasing. If we are unable to lease all or a substantial portion of our

properties, or if the rental rates upon such leasing are significantly lower than expected rates, our cash generated before debt repayments and capital expenditures and our ability to make expected distributions to stockholders may be adversely affected.

We may be affected negatively by tenant bankruptcies and leasing delays. At any time, a tenant may experience a downturn in its business that may weaken its financial condition. Similarly, a general decline in the economy may result in a decline in the demand for space at our industrial properties. As a result, our tenants may delay lease commencement, fail to make rental payments when due, or declare bankruptcy. Any such event could result in the termination of that tenant’s lease and losses to us, and funds available for distribution to investors may decrease. We receive a substantial portion of our income as rents under mid-term and long-term leases. If tenants are unable to comply with the terms of their leases for any reason, including because of rising costs or falling sales, we may deem it advisable to modify lease terms to allow tenants to pay a lower rent or a smaller share of taxes, insurance and other operating costs. If a tenant becomes insolvent or bankrupt, we cannot be sure that we could recover the premises from the tenant promptly or from a trustee or debtor-in-possession in any bankruptcy proceeding relating to the tenant. We also cannot be sure that we would receive rent in the proceeding sufficient to cover our expenses with respect to the premises. If a tenant becomes bankrupt, the federal bankruptcy code will apply and, in some instances, may restrict the amount and recoverability of our claims against the tenant. A tenant’s default on its obligations to us could adversely affect our financial condition and the cash we have available for distribution.

We face risks associated with our property development. We intend to continue to develop properties where we believe market conditions warrant such investment. Once made, our investments may not produce results in accordance with our expectations. Risks associated with our current and future development and construction activities include:

•the availability of favorable financing alternatives;

•the risk that we may not be able to obtain land on which to develop or that due to the increased cost of land, our activities may not be as profitable;

•construction costs exceeding original estimates due to tariffs or elevated interest rates and increases in the costs of materials and labor;

•disruption in supply and delivery chains;

•construction and lease-up delays resulting in increased debt service, fixed expenses and construction costs;

•expenditure of funds and devotion of management’s time to projects that we do not complete;

•fluctuations of occupancy and rental rates at newly completed properties, which depend on a number of factors, including market and economic conditions, resulting in lower than projected rental rates and a corresponding lower return on our investment; and

•complications (including building moratoriums and anti-growth legislation) in obtaining necessary zoning, occupancy and other governmental permits.

We face risks associated with property acquisitions. We acquire individual properties and portfolios of properties and intend to continue to do so. Our acquisition activities and their success are subject to the following risks:

•when we are able to locate a desired property, competition from other real estate investors may significantly increase the purchase price;

•acquired properties may fail to perform as we project;

•the actual costs of repositioning or redeveloping acquired properties may be higher than our estimates;

•acquired properties may be located in new markets where we face risks associated with an incomplete knowledge or understanding of the local market, a limited number of established business relationships in the area and a relative unfamiliarity with local governmental and permitting procedures;

•we may be unable to quickly and efficiently integrate new acquisitions, particularly acquisitions of portfolios of properties, into our existing operations, and as a result, our results of operations and financial condition could be adversely affected; and

•we may acquire properties subject to liabilities and without any recourse, or with only limited recourse, to the transferor with respect to unknown liabilities. As a result, if a claim were asserted against us based upon ownership of those properties, we might have to pay substantial sums to settle it, which could adversely affect our cash flow.

Coverage under our existing insurance policies may be inadequate to cover losses, or we may not be able to obtain adequate insurance at certain properties in the future. We generally maintain insurance policies related to our business, including casualty, general liability and other policies, covering our business operations, employees and assets as appropriate for the markets where our properties and business operations are located. However, we would be required to bear all losses that are not adequately covered by insurance. In addition, there may be certain losses that are not generally insured against or that are not generally fully insured against because it is not deemed economically feasible or prudent to do so, or insurance coverage may not be available, including losses due to fire, floods, wind, earthquakes, acts of war, acts of terrorism or riots. If an uninsured

loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs with respect to one or more of our properties, then we could lose the capital we invested in the properties, as well as the anticipated future revenue from the properties. In addition, if the damaged properties are subject to recourse indebtedness, we would continue to be liable for the indebtedness, even if these properties were irreparably damaged.

We face risks due to lack of geographic and real estate sector diversity. Substantially all of our properties are located in the Sunbelt region of the United States with an emphasis in the states of Texas, Florida, California, Arizona and North Carolina. As of December 31, 2024, our largest markets were Houston and Dallas. We owned operating properties totaling 7,108,000 square feet in Houston and 6,108,000 square feet in Dallas, which represent 10.0% and 10.8%, respectively, of the Company’s total Real estate properties based on percentage of total annualized base rent (as defined in Item 2. Properties). A downturn in general economic conditions and local real estate conditions in these geographic regions, as a result of oversupply of or reduced demand for industrial properties, local business climate, business layoffs and changing demographics, would have a particularly strong adverse effect on us. In addition, our investments in real estate assets are concentrated in the industrial distribution sector. This concentration may expose us to the risk of economic downturns in this sector to a greater extent than if our business activities included other sectors of the real estate industry.

We face risks due to the illiquidity of real estate which may limit our ability to vary our portfolio. Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. Our ability to vary our portfolio in response to changes in economic and other conditions will therefore be limited. In addition, because of our status as a REIT, the Internal Revenue Code limits our ability to sell our properties. If we must sell an investment, we cannot ensure that we will be able to dispose of the investment on terms favorable to the Company.

We are subject to environmental laws and regulations. Current and previous real estate owners and operators may be required under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations to investigate and clean up hazardous substances released at the properties they own or operate. They may also be liable to the government or to third parties for substantial property or natural resource damage, investigation costs and cleanup costs. Such laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the release or presence of such hazardous substances. In addition, some environmental laws create a lien on the contaminated site in favor of the government for damages and costs the government incurs in connection with the contamination. Contamination may adversely affect the owner’s ability to use, sell or lease real estate or to borrow using the real estate as collateral. We have no way of determining at this time the magnitude of any potential liability to which we may be subject arising out of environmental conditions or violations with respect to the properties we currently or formerly owned. Environmental laws today can impose liability on a previous owner or operator of a property that owned or operated the property at a time when hazardous or toxic substances were disposed of, released from, or present at the property. A conveyance of the property, therefore, may not relieve the owner or operator from liability. Although ESAs have been conducted at our properties to identify potential sources of contamination at the properties, such ESAs do not reveal all environmental liabilities or compliance concerns that could arise from the properties. Moreover, material environmental liabilities or compliance concerns may exist, of which we are currently unaware, that in the future may have a material adverse effect on our business, assets or results of operations.

Climate change and its effects, including compliance with new laws or regulations such as “green” building codes, may require us to make improvements to our existing properties or result in unanticipated losses that could affect our business and financial condition. To the extent that climate change causes an increase in catastrophic weather events, such as severe storms, fires or floods, our properties may be susceptible to an increase in weather-related damage. Even in the absence of direct physical damage to our properties, the occurrence of any natural disasters or a changing climate in the area of any of our properties could have a material adverse effect on business, supply chains and the economy generally. Climate change could cause an increase in property and casualty insurance premiums or negatively impact our ability to obtain insurance. The potential impacts of future climate change on our properties could adversely affect our ability to lease, develop or sell our properties or to borrow using our properties as collateral. In addition, any proposed legislation enacted to address climate change could increase the costs of energy, utilities and overall development. The resulting costs of any proposed legislation may adversely affect our or our tenants' financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Financing Risks

We face risks associated with the use of debt to fund acquisitions and developments, including refinancing risk. We are subject to the risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flow will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest. In addition, certain of our debt will have significant outstanding principal balances on their maturity dates, commonly known as “balloon payments.” Therefore, we will likely need to refinance at least a portion of our outstanding debt as it matures. There is a risk that we may not be able to refinance existing debt or that the terms of any refinancing will not be as favorable as the terms of the existing debt.

We face risks associated with our dependence on external sources of capital. In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required each year to distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our ordinary taxable income, and we are subject to tax on our income to the extent it is not distributed. Because of this distribution requirement, we may not be able to fund all future capital needs from cash retained from operations. As a result, to fund capital needs, we rely on third-party sources of capital, which we may not be able to obtain on favorable terms, if at all. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends upon a number of factors, including (i) general market conditions; (ii) the market’s perception of our growth potential; (iii) our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions; and (iv) the market price of our capital stock. Additional debt financing may negatively impact our financial ratios, such as our debt-to-total market capitalization ratio, our debt-to-EBITDAre ratio and our fixed charge coverage ratio.

Covenants in our credit agreements could limit our flexibility and adversely affect our financial condition. The terms of our various credit agreements and other indebtedness require us to comply with a number of customary financial and other covenants, such as maintaining minimum debt service coverage and leverage ratios and maintaining insurance coverage. These covenants may limit our flexibility in our operations, and breaches of these covenants could result in defaults under the instruments governing the applicable indebtedness even if we had satisfied our payment obligations. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or meet our payment obligations, the amount of our distributable cash flow and our financial condition would be adversely affected.

Adverse changes in our credit ratings could impair our ability to obtain additional debt and equity financing on favorable terms, if at all. Our credit ratings are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analysis of us. Our credit ratings can affect the amount and type of capital we can access, as well as the terms of any financings we may obtain. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. In the event our current credit ratings deteriorate, it may be more difficult or expensive to obtain additional financing or refinance existing obligations and commitments. Also, a downgrade in our credit ratings would trigger additional costs or other potentially negative consequences under our current and future credit facilities and debt instruments.

Increases in interest rates would increase our interest expense. At December 31, 2024, we had no variable rate debt outstanding not protected by interest rate hedge contracts. We may incur variable rate debt in the future. If interest rates increase, then so would the interest expense on our unhedged variable rate debt, which would adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. From time to time, we manage our exposure to interest rate risk with interest rate hedge contracts that effectively fix or cap a portion of our variable rate debt. In addition, we refinance fixed rate debt at times when we believe rates and terms are appropriate. Our efforts to manage these exposures may not be successful. Our use of interest rate hedge contracts to manage risk associated with interest rate volatility may expose us to additional risks, including a risk that a counterparty to a hedge contract may fail to honor its obligations. Developing an effective interest rate risk strategy is complex and no strategy can completely insulate us from risks associated with interest rate fluctuations. There can be no assurance that our hedging activities will have the desired beneficial impact on our results of operations or financial condition. Termination of interest rate hedge contracts typically involves costs, such as transaction fees or breakage costs.

The number of shares of our common stock available for future sale and future offerings of debt or equity securities may be dilutive to existing stockholders and adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Our ability to execute our business strategy depends on our access to an appropriate blend of equity and debt financing, including common and preferred stock, lines of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt. We have filed a registration statement with the SEC allowing us to offer, from time to time, an indefinite amount of equity securities on an as-needed basis, including shares under our Current ATM Program (as defined in Liquidity and Capital Resources in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K). Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock (or the perception that such sales might occur), the issuance of common stock in connection with acquisitions and other equity issuances may dilute the holdings of our existing stockholders or reduce the market prices of our securities, or both. Holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights or other protections against dilution. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Thus, our stockholders bear the risk of future offerings reducing the market prices of our securities and diluting their proportionate ownership.

The lack of certain limitations on our debt could result in our becoming more highly leveraged. Our governing documents do not limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, we may incur additional debt and would do so, for example, if it were necessary to maintain our status as a REIT. We might become more highly leveraged as a result, and our financial condition and cash available for distribution to stockholders might be negatively affected and the risk of default on our indebtedness could increase.

General Risk Factors

Inflation and related volatility in the economy could negatively impact our tenants, our results of operations and the value of our publicly-traded equity securities. Inflation and its related impacts, including increased prices for services and goods and higher interest rates and wages, and any fiscal or other policy interventions by the U.S. government in reaction to such events, could negatively impact our tenants’ businesses or our results of operations. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses, including real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, although a limited number of tenants have capped the amount of these operating expenses they are responsible for under their lease. As a result, we believe that most of our leases mitigate our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. However, there can be no assurance that our tenants would be able to absorb these expense increases and be able to continue to pay us their portion of operating expenses, capital expenditures and rent. In addition, while most of our leases provide for scheduled rent increases, high levels of inflation could outpace these increases. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to satisfy our minimum debt service obligations and to pay dividends and distributions to shareholders could be adversely affected over time. There is no guarantee that we will be able to mitigate the effects of inflation and related impacts, and the duration and extent of any prolonged periods of inflation, and any related adverse effects on our results of operations and financial condition, remain unknown at this time.

Additionally, inflationary pricing may have a negative effect on the construction costs necessary to complete our development projects, including, but not limited to, costs of construction materials, labor and services from third-party contractors and suppliers. Higher construction costs could adversely impact our investments in real estate assets and our expected yields on development and value-add projects. Although the Company has an obligation to complete development projects currently under construction, the Company does not have any obligation to start new development projects in the future. EastGroup evaluates new development projects on a case-by-case basis including many factors such as construction costs, potential yields, and tenant demand, and no assurance can be given that inflationary pricing will not have a material adverse impact on our development pipeline and future results.

The market value of our common stock could decrease based on our performance and market perception and conditions. The market value of our common stock may be affected by the market’s perception of our operating results, growth potential, and current and future cash dividends and may also be affected by the real estate market value of our underlying assets and by equity markets in general. The market price of our common stock may also be influenced by the dividend on our common stock relative to market interest rates. Rising interest rates may lead potential buyers of our common stock to expect a higher dividend rate, which would adversely affect the market price of our common stock. In addition, rising interest rates would result in increased expense, thereby adversely affecting cash flow and our ability to service our indebtedness and pay dividends.

The state of the economy, geopolitical conflict or adverse changes in general or local economic conditions may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition. Turmoil in the global financial markets may have an adverse impact on the availability of credit to businesses generally and could lead to a further weakening of the U.S. and global economies. Currently these conditions have not impaired our ability to access capital markets and finance our operations. However, our ability to access the capital markets may be restricted at a time when we would like, or need, to raise financing, which could have an impact on our flexibility to react to changing economic and business conditions. Furthermore, deteriorating economic conditions including business layoffs, downsizing, industry slowdowns and other similar factors that affect our customers could negatively impact commercial real estate fundamentals and result in lower occupancy, lower rental rates and declining values in our real estate portfolio and in the collateral securing any loan investments we may make. Additionally, an adverse economic situation could have an impact on our lenders or customers, causing them to fail to meet their obligations to us. No assurances can be given that the effects of an adverse economic situation will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting could adversely affect our business. The design and effectiveness of our procedures for internal control over financial reporting may not prevent all misstatements, errors or misrepresentations. While our management will continue to review the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, there can be no assurance that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in achieving all control objectives without fail. Deficiencies could result in restatements of our financial statements or otherwise materially adversely affect our business.

We may fail to qualify as a REIT. If we fail to qualify as a REIT, we will not be allowed to deduct dividends to stockholders in computing our taxable income and will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates. In addition, we may be barred from qualification as a REIT for the four years following disqualification. The additional tax incurred at regular corporate rates would significantly reduce the cash flow available for distribution to stockholders and for debt service. Furthermore, we would no longer be required by the Internal Revenue Code to make any dividends to our stockholders as a condition of REIT qualification. If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT, subject to certain limitations in the Internal Revenue

Code, corporate stockholders may be eligible for the dividends received deduction, and individual, trust and estate stockholders may be eligible to treat the dividends received from us as qualified dividend income taxable as net capital gains under the provisions of Section 1(h)(11) of the Internal Revenue Code. However, non-corporate stockholders (including individuals) will not be able to deduct 20% of certain dividends they receive from us in accordance with Section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code. The REIT qualification requirements are extremely complex, and interpretation of the U.S. federal income tax laws governing REIT qualification is limited. Although we believe we have operated and intend to operate in a manner that will continue to qualify us as a REIT, we cannot be certain that we have been or will be successful in continuing to be taxed as a REIT. In addition, facts and circumstances that may be beyond our control may affect our ability to qualify as a REIT. We cannot assure you that new legislation, regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions will not change the tax laws significantly with respect to our qualification as a REIT or with respect to the federal income tax consequences of qualification.

Legislative or regulatory action with respect to tax laws and regulations could adversely affect the Company and our stockholders. We are subject to state and local tax laws and regulations. Changes in state and local tax laws or regulations may result in an increase in our tax liability. A shortfall in tax revenues for states and municipalities in which we operate may lead to an increase in the frequency and size of such changes. If such changes occur, we may be required to pay additional taxes on our assets or income. These increased tax costs could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and the amount of cash available for the payment of dividends. In addition, in recent years, numerous legislative, judicial and administrative changes have been made to the federal income tax laws applicable to investments in REITs and similar entities. Additional changes to tax laws are likely to continue to occur in the future, and we cannot assure our stockholders that any such changes will not adversely affect the taxation of a stockholder. We cannot assure you that future changes to tax laws and regulations will not have an adverse effect on an investment in our stock.

To maintain our status as a REIT, we limit the amount of shares any one stockholder can own. The Internal Revenue Code imposes certain limitations on the ownership of the stock of a REIT. For example, not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares of capital stock may be owned, directly or indirectly, by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Internal Revenue Code) during the last half of any taxable year. To protect our REIT status, our charter prohibits any holder from acquiring more than 9.8% (in value or in number, whichever is more restrictive) of our outstanding equity stock (defined as all of our classes of capital stock, except our excess stock (of which there is none outstanding)) unless our Board of Directors grants a waiver. The ownership limit may limit the opportunity for stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of common stock that might otherwise exist if an investor were attempting to assemble a block of shares in excess of 9.8% of the outstanding shares of equity stock or otherwise effect a change in control.

Certain tax and anti-takeover provisions of our charter and bylaws may inhibit a change of our control. Certain provisions contained in our charter and bylaws and the Maryland General Corporation Law may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or acquisition proposal to us. If this were to happen, it could delay, deter or prevent a change in control or the removal of existing management. These provisions also may delay or prevent our stockholders from receiving a premium for their common shares over then-prevailing market prices. These provisions include:

•the REIT ownership limit described above;

•special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by the chairman of the board, the chief executive officer, the president, a majority of the board or by stockholders possessing a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at the meeting;

•our Board of Directors may authorize and issue securities without stockholder approval; and

•advance-notice requirements for proposals to be presented at stockholder meetings.

In addition, Maryland law provides protection for Maryland corporations against unsolicited takeovers by limiting, among other things, the duties of the directors in unsolicited takeover situations and certain “business combinations” and “control share acquisitions.” Our bylaws contain provisions exempting us from the Maryland Control Share Acquisition Act and the Maryland Business Combination Act. Our bylaws prohibit the repeal, amendment or alteration of our Maryland Control Share Acquisition opt out without the approval by the Company’s stockholders; however, there can be no assurance that this provision will not be amended or eliminated at some time in the future.

The Company faces risks in attracting and retaining key personnel. Many of our senior executives have strong industry reputations, which aid us in identifying acquisition and development opportunities and negotiating with tenants and sellers of properties. The loss of the services of these key personnel could affect our operations because of diminished relationships with existing and prospective tenants, property sellers and industry personnel. Unanticipated turnover or inadequate succession planning could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business plans and opportunities. In addition, attracting new or replacement personnel may be difficult in a competitive market.

We have severance and change in control agreements with certain of our officers that may deter changes in control of the Company. If, within a certain time period (as set in the officer’s agreement) following a change in control, we terminate any such officer’s employment other than for cause, or if any such officer elects to terminate his or her employment with us for reasons specified in the agreement, we will make a severance payment equal to the officer’s average annual compensation times an amount specified in the officer’s agreement, together with the officer’s base salary and vacation pay that have accrued but are unpaid through the date of termination. These agreements may deter a change in control because of the increased cost for a third party to acquire control of the Company.

We rely on information technology in our operations, and any material failure, inadequacy, interruption or cyber-attack of that technology could harm our business. We rely on information technology networks and systems, including the internet and third-party cloud-based service providers, to process, transmit and store electronic information, and to manage or support a variety of business processes, including financial transactions and records, and to maintain personal identifying information and customer and lease data. We purchase some of our information technology from vendors, on whom our systems depend. We rely on commercially available systems, software, tools and monitoring to provide security for processing, transmission and storage of data relating to our business operations (including our financial transactions and records) and confidential customer data (including individually identifiable information relating to financial accounts). Although we have taken steps to protect the security of our information systems and the data maintained in those systems, it is possible that our safety and security measures will not prevent the systems’ improper functioning or damage, or the improper access or disclosure of our business operations or personally identifiable information such as in the event of cybersecurity incidents. Security breaches, including physical or electronic break-ins, computer viruses, phishing or spoofing attacks by hackers and similar breaches, can create system disruptions, shutdowns, misappropriation of assets or unauthorized disclosure of confidential information. In some cases, it may be difficult to anticipate or immediately detect such incidents and the damage they cause. Techniques used to obtain unauthorized access to, disable or sabotage information technology systems are increasingly diverse and sophisticated, including as a result of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning. Any failure to maintain proper function, security and availability of our information systems could interrupt our operations, damage our reputation, subject us to liability claims or regulatory penalties and could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Additionally, any cybersecurity incident may be costly, notwithstanding any cyber liability insurance we may carry. See “Item 1C. Cybersecurity” for further discussion.

We may be impacted by changes in U.S. social, political, regulatory and economic conditions or laws and policies. Any changes to U.S. tax laws, duties, tariffs, changes to bilateral or regional trade agreements, manufacturing, and development and investment in the territories and countries where we and our customers operate could adversely affect our operating results and our business.

ITEM 1B. UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS.

None.

ITEM 1C. CYBERSECURITY.

Cyber Risk Management and Strategy

Cybersecurity risk management policies and processes are integrated into EastGroup’s enterprise risk management program. These policies and processes include incident response, identity and access management, employee training on cybersecurity matters, device management, patch management and vulnerability assessment. The Company also maintains processes regarding third-party vendor risk management, including, as appropriate, conducting a review of security ratings of and System and Organization Controls (“SOC”) reports provided by potential vendors. Additionally, EastGroup works with cybersecurity consulting firms to help manage the Company’s cybersecurity risks. The cyber consulting firms currently conduct testing of EastGroup’s controls and environment, including network penetration testing, to identify and remediate cybersecurity risks. They also currently provide EastGroup with advice on technology, infrastructure, management, and productivity in relation to its information technology capabilities, including training for all employees. This training supports information security awareness and adherence to Company policies and guidance through regular, mandatory training and random simulated phishing tests.

Additionally, EastGroup has information technology general controls in place in support of internal control over financial reporting. These controls are tested by the Company’s internal audit function and control deficiencies, if any, would be reported to senior management and the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

As of the date of this report, the Company has not identified breaches from any cybersecurity threats, including as a result of any prior cybersecurity incidents, that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to affect operations, business strategy or financial condition. For additional information regarding our cybersecurity risks, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors - We rely on information technology in our operations, and any material failure, inadequacy, interruption or cyber-attack of that technology could harm our business.”

Governance Related to Cybersecurity Risks

EastGroup’s cybersecurity risk management process is assessed and managed by a cyber risk committee (“Cyber Risk Committee”), which includes the Company’s Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), Chief Information Officer (“CIO”) and members of management within the information technology, finance and accounting, legal and internal audit functions. The CIO is a Certified Public Accountant (“CPA”), a Certified Information Technology Professional with the American Institute of CPAs and has over 20 years of experience in the areas of cybersecurity and information technology. Collectively, other members of the Cyber Risk Committee have technical expertise and experience in accounting, financial reporting and auditing, and law and compliance.

The Company’s Board of Directors oversees EastGroup’s risk management process. Specifically, the Board of Directors has delegated to the Audit Committee, as reflected in the charter of the Audit Committee, responsibility for periodic review and oversight of the Company’s cybersecurity and other information technology risks, controls and procedures, including the Company’s plans to mitigate cybersecurity risks and to respond to data breaches. The Audit Committee receives periodic updates from the Cyber Risk Committee regarding these topics. Both senior management, including members of the Cyber Risk Committee, and the Audit Committee Chairperson report periodically on cybersecurity risk management to the full Board of Directors. Additionally, management conducts comprehensive risk surveys annually and presents the results of these surveys to the Board of Directors for discussion.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.

EastGroup owned 536 industrial properties as of December 31, 2024. These properties are located primarily in the Sunbelt states of Texas, Florida, California, Arizona and North Carolina, and the majority are clustered around major transportation features in supply constrained submarkets. As of February 11, 2025, EastGroup’s operating portfolio was 96.5% leased and 95.7% occupied by tenants in approximately 1,600 leases, with no single tenant accounting for more than approximately 1.6% of the Company’s annualized based rent, as defined in the table below. The Company has developed approximately 49% of its total portfolio (on a square foot basis), which includes real estate properties and development and value-add properties in lease-up and under construction. The Company’s focus is the ownership of business distribution space (92% of the total portfolio) with the remainder in bulk distribution space (7%) and business service space (1%). Business distribution space properties are typically multi-tenant buildings with a building depth of 200 feet or less, clear height of 24-32 feet, office finish of 10-25% and truck courts with a depth of 100-120 feet. See Consolidated Financial Statement Schedule III – Real Estate Properties and Accumulated Depreciation for a detailed listing of the Company’s properties.

At December 31, 2024, EastGroup did not own any single property with a book value that was 10% or more of total book value or with gross revenues that were 10% or more of total gross revenues.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

The following discussion and analysis of results of operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

OVERVIEW

During 2024, economic uncertainty and stock market volatility continued due to a number of factors, including persistent inflation, interest rate uncertainty, concerns about supply chain or trade disruptions, particularly between the United States, Mexico and Canada and geopolitical conflict. While these factors did not have a significant adverse impact on EastGroup’s operations during 2024, they may adversely impact the Company in the future. Most of the Company’s leases require the tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses, including real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation or other factors. Additionally, most of the Company’s leases include scheduled rent increases. In the event inflation causes increases in the Company’s general and administrative expenses, or higher interest rates increase the Company’s cost of doing business, such increased costs would not be passed through to tenants and could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations. The Company continues to monitor inflation and interest rates, as well as the uncertainty resulting from the overall regulatory and economic environment.

EastGroup believes its current operating cash flow and unsecured bank credit facilities provide the capacity to fund the operations of the Company, and the Company also believes it can issue common and/or preferred equity and obtain debt financing on currently acceptable terms.

During 2024, EastGroup sold, and subsequently settled the issuance of, 1,373,459 shares of common stock directly through sales agents under its at-the-market (“ATM”) common stock offering programs at a weighted average price of $174.30 per share, providing aggregate net proceeds to the Company of $236,996,000.

During 2024, EastGroup entered into forward equity sale agreements with certain financial institutions acting as forward counterparties under its ATM programs with respect to 2,677,289 shares of common stock with an initial weighted average forward price of $178.32 per share. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of common shares by the forward counterparties at the time it entered into forward equity sale agreements. Also during 2024, the Company settled outstanding forward equity sale agreements that were previously entered into under its ATM programs by issuing 2,698,077 shares of common stock in exchange for net proceeds of approximately $480,663,000.

Additionally, on June 13, 2024, the Company amended its unsecured bank credit facilities to extend the maturity date by three years to July 31, 2028. EastGroup’s financing and equity issuances are further described in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

The Company’s primary source of revenue is rental income. During 2024, EastGroup executed leases on 9,384,000 square feet of operating properties (15.9% of EastGroup’s total square footage of 58,987,000 as of December 31, 2024). For new and renewal leases signed during 2024, average rental rates increased by 53.0% as compared to the former leases on the same spaces.

On a diluted per share basis, Net Income Attributable to EastGroup Properties, Inc. Common Stockholders was $4.66 for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $4.42 for 2023, a 5.4% increase. See the Company’s analysis of performance trends below for further details.

Property Net Operating Income (“PNOI”) Excluding Income from Lease Terminations from same properties (defined as operating properties owned during the entire current and prior year reporting periods – January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024), increased 4.8% for 2024 compared to 2023.

EastGroup’s operating portfolio was 97.1% leased at December 31, 2024 compared to 98.7% at December 31, 2023. Occupancy at the end of 2024 for the operating portfolio was 96.1% compared to 98.2% at December 31, 2023. As of February 11, 2025, the operating portfolio was 96.5% leased and 95.7% occupied. As of December 31, 2024, leases approximating 10.1% of the operating portfolio, based on a percentage of annualized based rent, were scheduled to expire in 2025. This percentage was reduced to 8.2% as of February 11, 2025.

The Company generates new sources of leasing revenue through its acquisitions and also its development and value-add program. The Company mitigates risks associated with development through a Board-approved maximum level of land held for development and by adjusting development start dates according to leasing activity.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, EastGroup purchased 61.1 acres of land in two markets for a total of $13,762,000. The Company began construction of 10 development projects containing 1,585,000 square feet in seven markets. Also in 2024, the Company transferred seven development and value-add projects (1,519,000 square feet) in six markets from its development and value-add program to real estate properties, with costs of $199,971,000 at the date of transfer. As of December 31, 2024, EastGroup’s development and value-add program consisted of 21 projects (4,143,000 square feet) located in 14 markets. The projected total cost for the development and value-add projects, which were collectively 22.5% leased as of February 11, 2025, is $608,700,000, of which $184,632,000 remained to be invested as of December 31, 2024.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, EastGroup acquired 2,474,000 square feet of operating properties in six markets for a total of $390,011,000. There were no value-add property acquisitions during the period.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, EastGroup sold a group of operating properties in the Jackson, Mississippi market, containing 159,000 square feet and disposed of 5.4 acres of land in two markets, generating gross sales proceeds of $18,311,000. The Company recognized $8,751,000 in Gain on sales of real estate investments and $362,000 in gains on sales of non-operating real estate (included in Other on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income) during the year ended December 31, 2024.

In the near term, the Company funds its development and acquisition programs through its $675,000,000 unsecured bank credit facilities (as discussed below in Liquidity and Capital Resources). As market conditions permit, EastGroup issues equity and/or employs fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, to replace short-term bank borrowings. Moody’s Investors Service has assigned the Company’s issuer rating of Baa2 with a stable outlook. A security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating agency. Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. For future debt issuances, the Company intends to issue primarily unsecured fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps. The Company may also access the public debt market in the future as a means to raise capital.

Investors and industry analysts following the real estate industry primarily utilize two supplemental operating performance measures in analyzing the Company's operating results: (1) funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO”), and (2) property net operating income (“PNOI”).

FFO is computed in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“Nareit”). Nareit’s guidance allows preparers an option as it pertains to whether gains or losses on sale, or impairment charges, on real estate assets incidental to a REIT’s business are excluded from the calculation of FFO. EastGroup has made the election to exclude activity related to such assets that are incidental to our business.

FFO is calculated as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains and losses from sales of real estate property (including other assets incidental to the Company’s business) and impairment losses, adjusted for real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is not considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company’s financial performance, nor is it a measure of the Company’s liquidity or indicative of funds available to provide for the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions. The Company’s key drivers affecting FFO are changes in PNOI (as discussed below), interest rates, the amount of leverage the Company employs and general and administrative expenses.

PNOI is defined as Income from real estate operations less Expenses from real estate operations (including market based internal management fee expense) plus the Company’s share of income and property operating expenses from its less-than-wholly-owned real estate investments.

EastGroup sometimes refers to PNOI from Same Properties as “Same PNOI”; the Company also presents Same PNOI Excluding Income from Lease Terminations. Same Properties is defined as operating properties owned during the entire current period and prior year reporting period. Properties developed or acquired are excluded until held in the operating portfolio for both the current and prior year reporting periods. Properties sold during the current or prior year reporting periods are also excluded. For the year ended December 31, 2024, Same Properties includes properties which were included in the operating portfolio for the entire period from January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024. The Company presents Same PNOI and Same PNOI Excluding Income from Lease Terminations as a property-level supplemental measure of performance used to evaluate the performance of the Company’s investments in real estate assets and its operating results on a same property basis.

FFO and PNOI are supplemental industry reporting measurements used to evaluate the performance of the Company’s investments in real estate assets and its operating results. The Company believes that the exclusion of depreciation and amortization in the calculations of PNOI and FFO provides supplemental indicators of the properties’ performance since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions. PNOI and FFO as calculated by the Company may not be comparable to similarly titled but differently calculated measures for other REITs. Investors should be aware that items excluded from or added back to FFO are significant components in understanding and assessing the Company’s financial performance. These non-GAAP figures should not be considered a substitute for, and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to, the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP.

The following table presents reconciliations of Net Income to PNOI, Same PNOI and Same PNOI Excluding Income from Lease Terminations for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

Income from real estate operations is comprised of rental income, expense reimbursement pass-through income and other real estate income. Expenses from real estate operations is comprised of property taxes, insurance, utilities, repair and maintenance expenses, management fees and other operating costs. Generally, the Company’s most significant operating expenses are property taxes and insurance. Tenant leases may be net leases in which the total operating expenses are recoverable, modified gross leases in which some of the operating expenses are recoverable, or gross leases in which no expenses are recoverable (gross leases represent only a small portion of the Company’s total leases). Increases in property operating expenses are fully recoverable under net leases and recoverable to a high degree under modified gross leases. Modified gross leases often include base year amounts, and expense increases over these amounts are recoverable. The Company’s exposure to property operating expenses is primarily due to vacancies and leases for occupied space that limit the amount of expenses that can be recovered.

The following table presents reconciliations of Net Income Attributable to EastGroup Properties, Inc. Common Stockholders to FFO Attributable to Common Stockholders for the three fiscal years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

The Company analyzes the following performance trends in evaluating the revenues and expenses of the Company:

•Net Income Attributable to EastGroup Properties, Inc. Common Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $227,751,000 ($4.67 per basic and $4.66 per diluted share) compared to $200,491,000 ($4.43 per basic and $4.42 per diluted share) for 2023. See Results of Operations for further analysis.

•The change in FFO per diluted share represents the increase or decrease in FFO per diluted share from the current year compared to the prior year. For 2024, FFO was $8.35 per diluted share compared with $7.79 per diluted share for 2023, an increase of 7.2%. FFO Excluding Gain on Involuntary Conversion and Business Interruption Claims was $8.31 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to $7.70 per diluted share for 2023, an increase of 7.9%. FFO increased during the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to 2023, primarily due to the

increase in PNOI and the decrease in interest expense, partially offset by an increase in general and administrative expense.

•For the year ended December 31, 2024, PNOI increased by $51,674,000, or 12.5%, compared to 2023. PNOI increased $20,089,000 from same property operations, $18,354,000 from newly developed and value-add properties and $15,915,000 from 2023 and 2024 acquisitions; PNOI decreased $2,642,000 from operating properties sold in 2023 and 2024.

•The change in Same PNOI represents the PNOI increase or decrease for the same operating properties owned during the entire current and prior year reporting periods (January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024). Same PNOI, excluding income from lease terminations, increased 4.8% for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to 2023.

•Same property average occupancy represents the average month-end percentage of leased square footage for which the lease term has commenced as compared to the total leasable square footage for the same operating properties owned during the entire current and prior year reporting periods (January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024). Same property average occupancy for the year ended December 31, 2024 was 96.7% compared to 98.2% for 2023.

•The same property average rental rate calculated in accordance with GAAP represents the average annual rental rates of leases in place for the same operating properties owned during the entire current and prior year reporting periods (January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024). The same property average rental rate was $8.22 per square foot for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $7.76 per square foot for the year ended December 31, 2023.

•Occupancy is the percentage of leased square footage for which the lease term has commenced as compared to the total leasable square footage as of the close of the reporting period. Occupancy at December 31, 2024 was 96.1%. Quarter-end occupancy ranged from 96.5% to 98.2% over the previous four quarters ended December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024.

•Rental rate change represents the rental rate increase or decrease on new and renewal leases compared to the prior leases on the same space. Rental rate increases on new and renewal leases (15.9% of total square footage) averaged 53.0% for the year ended December 31, 2024.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

EastGroup’s Total Assets were $5,077,476,000 at December 31, 2024, an increase of $558,263,000 from December 31, 2023. Total Liabilities decreased $125,647,000 to $1,784,932,000, and Total Equity increased $683,910,000 to $3,292,544,000 during the same period. The following paragraphs explain these changes in greater detail.

Assets

Real Estate Properties

Real estate properties increased $649,896,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase was primarily due to: (i) the acquisition of operating properties; (ii) the transfer of properties from Development and value-add properties to Real estate properties; (iii) capital improvements at the Company’s properties; (iv) right of use assets for the Company’s ground leases; and (v) costs incurred on development and value-add projects subsequent to transfer to Real estate properties discussed below. These increases were partially offset by the sale of operating properties.

During 2024, EastGroup acquired the following operating properties:

(1)Cost is calculated in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, Business Combinations, and represents the sum of the purchase price, closing costs and capitalized acquisition costs. Refer to Notes 1(j) and 2 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

(2)Operating properties are defined as stabilized real estate properties (land including buildings and improvements) in the Company’s operating portfolio; included in Real estate properties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

(3)Excludes acquired development land as discussed below.

(4)This operating property is located on land subject to a ground lease. See Note 2 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company made capital improvements of $58,128,000 on existing and acquired properties (included in the Real Estate Improvements table under Results of Operations). Also, the Company incurred costs of $3,784,000 on development and value-add projects subsequent to transfer to Real estate properties; the Company records these expenditures as development and value-add costs on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Also, during the year ended December 31, 2024, EastGroup sold a group of operating properties in the Jackson, Mississippi market containing 159,000 square feet, generating gross sales proceeds of $14,050,000. The Company recognized $8,751,000 in Gain on sales of real estate investments during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Development and Value-Add Properties

EastGroup’s investment in Development and value-add properties at December 31, 2024 consisted of properties in lease-up and under construction of $424,068,000 and prospective development (primarily land) of $250,404,000. The Company’s total investment in Development and value-add properties at December 31, 2024 was $674,472,000 compared to $639,647,000 at December 31, 2023. Total capital invested for development and value-add properties during 2024 was $245,033,000, which primarily consisted of improvement costs of $227,487,000 on development and value-add properties, $13,762,000 for new land investments, and costs of $3,784,000 on properties subsequent to transfer to Real estate properties. The capitalized costs incurred on development and value-add projects subsequent to transfer to Real estate properties include capital improvements at the properties and do not include other capitalized costs associated with development (i.e., interest expense, property taxes and internal personnel costs).

EastGroup capitalized internal development costs of $8,181,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $10,472,000 during 2023. The decrease was due to variations in timing and volume of development projects starting during the year ended December 31, 2024, as compared to the same period of 2023.

There were no value-add acquisitions during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Also during 2024, EastGroup purchased 61.1 acres of development land in two markets for $13,762,000. Costs associated with these acquisitions are included below in the Development and Value-Add Properties table. These increases were offset by the transfer of seven development and value-add projects to Real estate properties with a total investment of $199,971,000 as of the date of transfer.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, EastGroup sold 5.4 acres of land in two markets, generating gross sales proceeds of $4,261,000. The Company recognized $362,000 in gains on sales of non-operating real estate (included in Other on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income) during the year ended December 31, 2024.

(1) Represents cumulative costs at the date of transfer.

Accumulated Depreciation

Accumulated depreciation on real estate, development and value-add properties increased $141,853,000 during 2024 due primarily to depreciation expense of $155,240,000, which increased due to operating properties acquired in 2023 and 2024 and properties transferred to Real estate properties. This increase was partially offset by the sale of operating properties.

Other Assets

Other assets increased $38,220,000 during 2024. See Note 4 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Liabilities

Unsecured bank credit facilities, net of debt issuance costs decreased $2,075,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024, mainly due to repayments of $64,968,000 and new debt issuance costs incurred during the year, offset by borrowings of $64,968,000 and the amortization of debt issuance costs during the year. The Company’s credit facilities are described in greater detail in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Unsecured debt, net of debt issuance costs decreased $169,190,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024, primarily due to the repayment of a $50,000,000 term loan in August and $120,000,000 in principal repayments on the Company's senior unsecured notes in December. The borrowings and repayments on Unsecured debt, net of debt issuance costs are described in greater detail under Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $1,005,000 during 2024. See Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Other liabilities increased $44,613,000 during 2024. See Note 8 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

Equity

Additional paid-in capital increased $723,486,000 during the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to the issuance of common stock under the Company’s ATM programs (as discussed in Note 9 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) and activity related to stock-based compensation (as discussed in Note 10 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

During the year ended December 31, 2024, Distributions in excess of earnings increased $36,699,000 as a result of dividends on common stock of $264,450,000 exceeding Net Income Attributable to EastGroup Properties, Inc. Common Stockholders of $227,751,000.

Accumulated other comprehensive income decreased $2,935,000 during 2024. The decrease resulted from the change in fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps (cash flow hedges) which are further discussed in Notes 11 and 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

2024 Compared to 2023

Net Income Attributable to EastGroup Properties, Inc. Common Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $227,751,000 ($4.67 per basic and $4.66 per diluted share) compared to $200,491,000 ($4.43 per basic and $4.42 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2023. The following paragraphs provide further details with respect to these changes:

•PNOI was $464,995,000 ($9.51 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $413,321,000 ($9.12 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2023. PNOI increased $20,089,000 from same property operations, $18,354,000 from newly developed and value-add properties and $15,915,000 from 2023 and 2024 acquisitions; PNOI decreased $2,642,000 from operating properties sold in 2023 and 2024. Straight-lining of rent increased Income from real estate operations by $11,450,000 and $11,289,000 in 2024 and 2023, respectively.

•EastGroup recognized Gains on sales of real estate investments of $8,751,000 ($0.18 per diluted share) during 2024, compared to $17,965,000 ($0.40 per diluted share) during 2023. The Company’s sales transactions are described in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

•Depreciation and amortization was $189,411,000 ($3.87 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2024, compared to $171,078,000 ($3.77 per diluted share) for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase is primarily due to the operating properties acquired by the Company in 2023 and 2024 and the properties transferred from Development and value-add properties in 2023 and 2024. These increases are partially offset by operating properties sold in 2023 and 2024.

•Interest expense recognized was $38,956,000 ($0.80 per diluted share) during 2024, compared to $47,996,000 ($1.06 per diluted share) during 2023. See the table below for details.

•EastGroup recognized gains on involuntary conversion and business interruption claims of $1,708,000 ($0.03 per diluted share) during 2024, compared to $4,187,000 ($0.09 per diluted share) during 2023. Gains on involuntary conversion and business interruption claims are included in Other revenue on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.

•Weighted average shares outstanding increased by 3,580,000, on a diluted basis, during 2024 compared to 2023. The increase is primarily due to issuance of shares through the Company's offering programs, as discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

EastGroup entered into 136 leases with certain rent concessions on 5,201,000 square feet during 2024 with total rent concessions of $13,135,000 over the terms of the leases, compared to 91 leases with rent concessions on 3,282,000 square feet with total rent concessions of $7,543,000 over the terms of the leases in 2023.

The Company’s percentage of leased square footage for the operating portfolio was 97.1% at December 31, 2024, compared to 98.7% at December 31, 2023. Occupancy at the end of 2024 for the operating portfolio was 96.1% compared to 98.2% at December 31, 2023.

Interest Expense decreased $9,040,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The following table presents the components of Interest Expense for 2024 and 2023:


	Years Ended December 31,

(1) Includes interest on the Company’s unsecured debt with fixed interest rates per the debt agreements or effectively fixed interest rates due to interest rate swaps, as discussed in Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

EastGroup’s variable rate interest expense decreased by $2,653,000 for 2024 as compared to 2023 primarily due to a decrease in average borrowings, partially offset by an increase in the Company’s weighted average variable interest rates on its unsecured bank credit facilities as shown in the following table:


	Years Ended December 31,
	2024		2023	Increase (Decrease)
	(In thousands, except rates of interest)
Average borrowings on unsecured bank credit facilities — variable rate	$	1,776	49,384	(47,608)
Weighted average variable interest rates (excluding amortization of facility fees and debt issuance costs)	6.25%		5.68%

The Company’s fixed rate interest expense decreased by $2,799,000 for 2024 as compared to 2023 primarily as a result of the unsecured debt activity described below.

The following table presents the details of unsecured debt repayments during 2023 and 2024:


UNSECURED DEBT REPAID IN 2023 AND 2024	Interest Rate	Date Repaid	Payoff Amount
			(In thousands)
$65 Million Senior Unsecured Term Loan	2.31%	03/31/2023	$	65,000
$50 Million Senior Unsecured Notes	3.80%	08/28/2023	50,000
$50 Million Senior Unsecured Term Loan	4.08%	08/30/2024	50,000
$60 Million Senior Unsecured Notes	3.46%	12/13/2024	60,000

Weighted Average Effectively Fixed Interest Rate and Total Payoff Amount for 2023 and 2024	3.37%		$	285,000

In September 2023, the Company refinanced a $100,000,000 senior unsecured term loan, reducing the effectively fixed interest rate by approximately 45 basis points.

The decrease in interest expense from unsecured debt was partially offset by new unsecured debt obtained during the year ended December 31, 2023:

(1) The interest rate on this unsecured term loan is comprised of Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin which is subject to a pricing grid for changes in the Company’s coverage ratings. The Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement (further described in Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements) to convert the loan’s Term SOFR rate to an effectively fixed interest rate. The interest rate in the table above is the effectively fixed interest rate for the loan, including the effect of the interest rate swap, as of December 31, 2024.

During 2024, EastGroup did not enter into or refinance any unsecured debt agreements.

EastGroup's financing and debt maturities are further described in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

Interest costs during the period of construction of real estate properties are capitalized and offset against interest expense. Capitalized interest increased by $3,588,000 for 2024 as compared to 2023, due to changes in development activity and spending.

2023 Compared to 2022

A discussion of changes in the Company’s results of operations between 2023 and 2022 has been omitted from this Form 10-K and can be found in “Part II. Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the heading “2023 Compared to 2022” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2024, and is incorporated herein by reference.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company anticipates that its current cash balance, operating cash flows, borrowings under its unsecured bank credit facilities, proceeds from new debt and/or proceeds from the issuance of equity instruments will be adequate for (i) operating and administrative expenses, (ii) normal repair and maintenance expenses at its properties, (iii) debt service obligations, (iv) maintaining compliance with its debt covenants, (v) distributions to stockholders, (vi) capital improvements, (vii) purchases of properties, (viii) development, and (ix) any other normal business activities of the Company, both in the short-term and long-term. The Company expects liquidity sources and needs in future years to be consistent in nature with those for the year ended December 31, 2024.

As market conditions permit, EastGroup issues equity and/or employs fixed-rate debt, including variable-rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, to replace the short-term bank borrowings. The Company believes its current operating cash flow and unsecured bank credit facilities provide the capacity to fund the operations of the Company. The Company also believes it can obtain debt financing and issue common and/or preferred equity.

For future debt issuances, the Company intends to issue primarily unsecured fixed-rate debt, including variable-rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps. The Company may also access the public debt or convertible bond markets in the future as a means to raise capital.

As of December 31, 2024, EastGroup had total immediate liquidity of approximately $757,320,000, comprised of $17,529,000 of cash and cash equivalents, $672,345,000 of availability on our unsecured bank credit facilities, and approximately $67,446,000 of gross proceeds available on its outstanding forward equity sale agreements. See further details discussed below.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $416,587,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The primary other sources of cash were from proceeds from common stock offerings; borrowings on unsecured bank credit facilities; and net proceeds from sales of real estate investments. The Company distributed $252,794,000 in common stock dividends during 2024. The Company also paid $390,011,000 related to the purchase of real estate property. Other primary uses of cash were for the

construction and development of properties; repayments on unsecured bank credit facilities and unsecured debt; capital improvements at various properties; and leasing commissions.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company was contractually obligated to pay the dividend declared in December 2024, which was paid in January 2025. An amount for dividends payable of $74,049,000 was included in Accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2024, which includes dividends payable on unvested restricted stock of $1,617,000, which are subject to continued service and will be paid upon vesting in future periods.

Scheduled principal payments on long-term debt, including Unsecured debt, net of debt issuance costs (not including Unsecured bank credit facilities, net of debt issuance costs), as of December 31, 2024, are as follows:


MATURITY DATES	Weighted Average Interest Rate (1)	Principal Payments Maturing
		(In thousands)
March 18, 2025	1.58%	$	50,000
August 28, 2025	3.80%	20,000
October 1, 2025	3.97%	25,000
October 7, 2025	3.99%	50,000
Year 2026	2.56%	140,000
Year 2027	2.74%	175,000
Year 2028	3.10%	160,000

Year 2030 and beyond	3.61%	735,000
Total Unsecured Debt	3.34%	$	1,510,000

(1) These loans have a fixed interest rate or an effectively fixed interest rate due to interest rate swaps.

In August 2024, EastGroup repaid a $50,000,000 senior unsecured term loan at maturity with an effectively fixed interest rate of 4.08%.

In December 2024, the Company made principal repayments of two senior unsecured notes totaling $120,000,000. Senior unsecured notes with a principal balance of $60,000,000 had a fixed interest rate of 3.46%. The other senior unsecured notes with a principal balance of $60,000,000 had a fixed interest rate of 3.48%. Both payments were made at maturity.

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.

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 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 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 is also subject to 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.

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.

On October 25, 2024, we established an ATM common stock offering program pursuant to which we are able to sell from time to time shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $1,000,000,000 (the “Current ATM Program”). The Current ATM Program replaced our previous $750,000,000 ATM program (the “Prior ATM Program”), which was established on October 25, 2023, under which we had sold shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross sales price of $746,153,000 through October 25, 2024.

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 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.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, EastGroup sold, and subsequently settled the issuance of, 1,373,459 shares of common stock directly through sales agents under its ATM programs at a weighted average price of $174.30 per share, providing aggregate net proceeds to the Company of $236,996,000.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, EastGroup entered into forward equity sale agreements with certain financial institutions acting as forward counterparties under its ATM programs with respect to 2,677,289 shares of common stock with an initial weighted average forward price of $178.32 per share. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of common shares by the forward counterparties at the time it entered into forward equity sale agreements. Also during the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company settled outstanding forward equity sale agreements that were previously entered into under its ATM programs by issuing 2,698,077 shares of common stock in exchange for net proceeds of approximately $480,663,000.

Subsequent to December 31, 2024, EastGroup settled outstanding forward equity sale agreements that were previously entered into under the Current ATM Program by issuing 214,138 shares of common stock in exchange for net proceeds of approximately $37,005,000. As of February 12, 2025, the date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K, the Company had 171,115 shares of common stock, or approximately $29,688,000 of net proceeds, based on a weighted average forward price of $173.50 per share, available for settlement before the applicable settlement period expires in November 2025.

As of February 12, 2025, approximately $719,665,000 of common stock remains available to be sold under the Current ATM Program. Future sales, if any, will depend on a variety of factors, including among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, determinations by us of the appropriate sources of funding for us and potential uses of funding available to us.

EastGroup’s other material cash requirements from known contractual and other obligations as of December 31, 2024 were as follows:


	Cash Requirements (1)
	(In thousands)
Real estate property obligations (2)	$	19,195
Development and value-add obligations (3)	111,196
Tenant improvements obligations (4)	28,229
Operating lease obligations - Ground leases (5)	2,821
Total	$	161,441

(1)Cash requirement due in less than one year; there were no related long-term cash requirements (other than ground lease payments, described below).

(2)Represents commitments on real estate properties, except for tenant improvement allowance obligations.

(3)Represents commitments on properties in the Company’s development and value-add program, except for tenant improvement allowance obligations.

(4)Represents tenant improvement allowance obligations.

(5)Represents ground lease payments due within one year. The Company also estimates future minimum ground lease payments of $148,849,000, due within the current lease terms of its ground leases. With the renewal options excluded, expiration dates range from August 2031 to December 2085.

The Company has no material off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The Company’s management considers the following accounting policies and estimates to be critical to the reported operations of the Company.

Acquisition and Development of Real Estate Properties

The FASB Codification 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. Factors considered by management in allocating the cost of the properties acquired include an estimate of carrying costs during the expected lease-up periods considering current market conditions and costs to execute similar leases. 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 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.

The significance of this accounting policy will fluctuate given the transaction activity during the period.

For properties included in Development and value-add properties, 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.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 1(p) in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

The Company is exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of its unsecured bank credit facilities and long-term debt maturities. This debt is used to maintain liquidity and fund capital expenditures and expansion of the Company’s real estate investment portfolio and operations. The Company’s objective for interest rate risk management is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower its overall borrowing costs. The Company has two variable rate unsecured bank credit facilities as discussed under the heading Liquidity and Capital Resources in Part II, Item 7 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As market conditions permit, EastGroup issues equity and/or employs fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, to replace the short-term bank borrowings. The Company’s interest rate swaps are discussed in Note 12 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The table below presents the principal payments due and weighted average interest rates, which include the impact of interest rate swaps, for both the fixed rate and variable rate debt as of December 31, 2024.


	2025		2026	2027	2028		2029	Thereafter	Total	Fair Value
Unsecured bank credit facilities — variable rate (in thousands)	$	—	—	—	—	(1)	—	—	—	—	(2)
Weighted average interest rate	—		—	—	5.28%	(3)	—	—	5.28%
Unsecured debt — fixed rate (in thousands)	$	145,000	140,000	175,000	160,000		155,000	735,000	1,510,000	1,403,754	(4)
Weighted average interest rate	3.13%		2.56%	2.74%	3.10%		3.88%	3.61%	3.34%

(1)The variable rate unsecured bank credit facilities mature in July 2028, and as of December 31, 2024, the Company had no borrowings on both the $625,000,000 unsecured bank credit facility and the $50,000,000 unsecured bank credit facility. These balances fluctuate based on Company operations and capital activity, as discussed in Liquidity and Capital Resources.

(2)The fair value of the Company’s variable rate debt is estimated by discounting expected cash flows at current market rates, excluding the effects of debt issuance costs.

(3)Represents the weighted average interest rate for the Company’s variable rate unsecured bank credit facilities as of December 31, 2024.

(4)The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate debt, including variable rate debt that has been swapped to an effectively fixed rate through the use of interest rate swaps, 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, excluding the effects of debt issuance costs.

As the table above incorporates only those exposures that existed as of December 31, 2024, it does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. Assuming there was a $100,000,000 balance on the unsecured bank credit facilities, and if interest rates changed by 10%, or approximately 53 basis points, interest expense and cash flows would increase or decrease by approximately $528,000 annually. This does not include variable rate debt that has been effectively fixed through the use of interest rate swaps.

Most of the Company’s leases include scheduled rent increases. Additionally, most of the Company’s leases require the tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses, including real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in operating expenses resulting from inflation or other factors. In the event inflation causes increases in the Company’s general and administrative expenses or the level of interest rates, such increased costs would not be passed through to tenants and could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

EastGroup’s financial results are affected by general economic conditions in the markets in which the Company’s properties are located. The state of the economy, or other adverse changes in general or local economic conditions could result in the inability of some of the Company’s existing tenants to make lease payments and may therefore result in uncollectible rent, reducing Income from real estate operations. It may also impact the Company’s ability to (i) renew leases or re-lease space as

leases expire, or (ii) lease development space. In addition, an economic downturn or recession, could also lead to an increase in overall vacancy rates or a decline in rents the Company can charge to re-lease properties upon expiration of current leases. In all of these cases, EastGroup’s cash flows would be adversely affected.

ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA.

The information required by this Item 8 is hereby incorporated by reference to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements beginning on page 38 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

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

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.

Federal Income Tax Treatment of Share Distributions


	Years Ended December 31,
	2024		2023	2022
Common Share Distributions:	(Per share)
Ordinary dividends	$	5.21028	5.02083	4.53746

Unrecaptured Section 1250 capital gain	—		—	—
Other capital gain	—		—	—
Total Common Share Distributions (1)	$	5.21028	5.02083	4.53746

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

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
	(In thousands)

Lease income — operating leases	$	477,647	424,063	364,957
Variable lease income (1)	160,388		142,116	121,860
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

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

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.

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:

(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.

(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.

(p)Recent Accounting Pronouncements

EastGroup has evaluated all FASB Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) recently released by the FASB through the date the financial statements were issued and determined that the following ASUs apply to the Company.

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, and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted. Amendments should be applied either (1) prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date, or (2) retrospectively to all prior periods presented in the financial statements. EastGroup does not expect the adoption to have a material impact on its financial condition, results of operations or disclosures.

(q) Classification of Book Overdraft on Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

The Company classifies changes in book overdraft in which the bank has not advanced cash to the Company to cover outstanding checks as an operating activity. Such amounts are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and prepaid rent in the Operating Activities section on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

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)

(1)As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, in order to calculate the present value of the remaining ground lease payments, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate, adjusted for a number of factors, including the long-term nature of the ground leases and the Company’s estimated borrowing costs, to determine the imputed interest for its ground leases. 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.

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.

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.

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.

EASTGROUP PROPERTIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

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).

Annual equity compensation awards

The annual equity compensation awards include components based on certain annual Company performance measures and individual annual performance goals over the upcoming year. The certain Company performance measures for 2024 are: (i) funds from operations “FFO” per share, (ii) cash same property net operating income change, (iii) debt-to-EBITDAre ratio, and (iv) fixed charge coverage. The Company begins recognizing expense for its estimate of the shares that could be earned pursuant to these awards on the grant date; the expense is adjusted to estimated performance levels during the performance period and to actual upon the determination of the awards. The shares are expensed 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 (34% vests at the end of the one year performance period and 33% vests in each of the following two years).

The Committee has adopted an Equity Award Retirement Policy (the “retirement policy”) which allows for accelerated vesting of unvested shares for retirement-eligible employees (defined as employees who meet certain age and years of service requirements). In order to qualify for accelerated vesting upon retirement, the eligible employees must provide required notification under the retirement policy and must retire from the Company. The Company has adjusted its stock-based compensation expense to accelerate the recognition of expense for retirement-eligible employees.

Stock-based compensation cost for employees was $11,729,000, $11,013,000 and $10,236,000 for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of which $2,017,000, $2,812,000 and $2,510,000 were capitalized as part of the Company’s development costs for the respective years. As of December 31, 2024, there was $4,425,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock compensation for employees and directors that is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.8 years.

During the restricted period for granted and unvested awards, dividends are accrued based upon the number of shares expected to be awarded.

Directors Equity Awards

The Board of Directors has adopted a policy under the 2023 Equity Plan pursuant to which awards will be made to non-employee Directors. The current policy provides that the Company shall automatically award an annual restricted share award to each non-employee Director who has been elected or re-elected as a member of the Board of Directors at the Annual Meeting. The number of shares shall be equal to $135,000 divided by the fair market value of a share on the date of such election. If a non-employee Director is elected or appointed to the Board of Directors other than at an Annual Meeting of the Company, the annual restricted share award shall be pro rated. The restricted shares vest in full on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the date of grant or the next annual meeting of shareholders following the date of grant, subject to the non-employee director’s continued service on the Board through such vesting date, subject to certain exceptions. The shares are expensed on a straight-line basis over the service period. The policy also provides that each new non-employee Director appointed or elected will receive an automatic award of restricted shares of Common Stock on the effective date of election or appointment equal to $25,000 divided by the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on such date. These restricted shares will vest 25% per year over a four-year period upon the performance of future service as a Director, subject to certain exceptions. The shares are expensed on a straight-line basis over the service period.

Directors were granted 5,040, 4,134 and 5,568 shares of common stock as annual restricted share awards during 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Stock-based compensation expense for directors was $764,000, $764,000 and $566,000 for 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(12) DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risk, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, to a limited extent, the use of derivative instruments.

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 Other 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.

See Note 11 for additional information on the Company’s Accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from its interest rate swaps.

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.
