On May 20, 2021, the Company acquired a 94,378 leased square foot National Weather Service (NWS) facility in Kansas City, Missouri (“NWS - Kansas City”). NWS - Kansas City is a build-to-suit facility that was originally constructed in 1998 then substantially renovated in 2020. The facility is 100% leased to the GSA on behalf of the NWS pursuant to a 15-year firm term lease with a five-year fixed rate renewal option, which, if exercised, does not expire until December 2038. NWS - Kansas City serves as the Central Region Headquarters for the NWS, one of six regional offices strategically located throughout the country. From this facility, NWS manages all operational and scientific meteorological, hydrological, and oceanographic programs for the region, including observing networks, weather services, forecasting, and climatology and hydrology.

On June 4, 2021, the Company completed the strategic disposition of one of its smaller facilities, the 11,590 leased square foot Social Security Administration (SSA) facility in Mission Viejo, California.

On July 22, 2021, the Company acquired a 61,384 leased square foot multi-tenanted facility in Cleveland, Ohio (“Various GSA - Cleveland”). Various GSA - Cleveland, a three-story renovated-to-suit facility for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, was substantially renovated in 2016 and 2021 and is leased to several key agencies within the U.S. Government. ICE occupies 66% of the building under a first generation 15-year lease that does not expire until August 2031.

On September 28, 2021, the Company completed the strategic disposition of a 105,641 leased square foot privately leased warehouse facility located in Midland, Georgia.

On October 13, 2021, the Company announced the formation of the JV, which serves as the investment vehicle for the acquisition of the VA Portfolio, an anticipated 1,214,165 leased square foot portfolio of 10 properties for an aggregate contractual purchase price of approximately $635.6 million. The VA Portfolio is 100% leased to the VA with a weighted average lease term of 19.6 years. The Company’s JV partner will retain a 47.0% stake in the JV. The Company will retain a 53.0% stake in the JV and will also receive asset management fees from the JV partner and be responsible for the day-to-day management of the properties.

The 100% build-to-suit VA Portfolio is entirely comprised of state-of-the-art, Class A Green Globe® Certified facilities, either recently delivered or under construction. On October 13, 2021, the JV closed on the acquisition of two of the 10 properties in the VA Portfolio, VA - Lubbock and VA - Lenexa, which are currently operating. On November 17, 2021, and December 22, 2021, the JV acquired two additional VA properties in the VA Portfolio, VA - Chattanooga and VA - San Antonio, which are also currently operating. Further, and subject to the completion of customary closing conditions, the JV expects to close on the acquisition of the remaining six properties on a rolling basis by the end of 2023, in connection with construction completion and lease commencement dates. Once fully delivered, these facilities will be the newest VA medical care centers in six of the 18 Veterans Integrated Services Networks (VISNs), which six VISNs offer critical healthcare services for approximately 7.2 million veterans, or approximately one third of the entire U.S. veteran population.

On October 14, 2021, the Company acquired a 489,316 leased square foot facility primarily leased to USCIS located in the metropolitan region of Kansas City, Missouri (“USCIS - Kansas City”). USCIS - Kansas City, a single-story facility that was substantially renovated-to-suit in 1999, is leased primarily to USCIS along with smaller private sector tenants. With the majority of the building leased to USCIS through 2042 and serving as the agency’s National Benefits Center, the total weighted average lease expiration date for the facility is February 2036. Should all in-place tenant renewal options be exercised, the weighted average lease expiration date for the facility could be as late as January 2045.

On November 1, 2021, the Company acquired an 80,000 leased square foot VA Outpatient Clinic located in the Midwest United States. This state-of-the-art, build-to-suit outpatient clinic was completed in 2021 and recently achieved a Two Green Globes® certification.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures

This section contains definitions of certain non-GAAP financial measures and other terms that the Company uses in this press release and, where applicable, the reasons why management believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors about the Company’s financial condition and results of operations and the other purposes for which management uses the measures. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance in accordance with GAAP. Additional detail can be found in the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K and quarterly report on Form 10-Q, as well as other documents filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time. We present certain financial information and metrics “at Easterly’s Share,” which is calculated on an entity-by-entity basis. “At Easterly’s Share” information, which we also refer to as being “at share,” “pro rata,” or “our share” is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with GAAP.

Cash Available for Distribution (CAD) is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not intended to represent cash flow for the period and is not indicative of cash flow provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP. CAD is calculated in accordance with the current Nareit definition as FFO minus normalized recurring real estate-related expenditures and other non-cash items, nonrecurring expenditures and the unconsolidated real estate venture’s allocated share of these adjustments. CAD is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure because the Company believes it provides useful information regarding the Company’s ability to fund its dividends. Because all companies do not calculate CAD the same way, the presentation of CAD may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

EBITDA is calculated as the sum of net income (loss) before interest expense, taxes, depreciation and amortization, (gain) loss on the sale of operating properties, and the unconsolidated real estate venture’s allocated share of these adjustments. EBITDA is not intended to represent cash flow for the period, is not presented as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of operating performance, should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, is not indicative of operating income or cash provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP and may be presented on a pro forma basis. EBITDA is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure with respect to liquidity because the Company believes it provides useful information regarding the Company’s ability to service or incur debt. Because all companies do not calculate EBITDA the same way, the presentation of EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.

Funds From Operations (FFO) is defined, in accordance with the Nareit FFO White Paper – 2018 Restatement, as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity. FFO includes the REIT’s share of FFO generated by unconsolidated affiliates. FFO is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. Although FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, the Company believes that information regarding FFO is helpful to shareholders and potential investors.

Funds From Operations, as Adjusted (FFO, as Adjusted) adjusts FFO to present an alternative measure of our operating performance, which, when applicable, excludes the impact of acquisition costs, straight-line rent, amortization of above-/below-market leases, amortization of deferred revenue (which results from landlord assets funded by tenants), non-cash interest expense, non-cash compensation, depreciation of non-real estate assets, other non-cash items, and the unconsolidated real estate venture’s allocated share of these adjustments. By excluding these income and expense items from FFO, as Adjusted, the Company believes it provides useful information as these items have no cash impact. In addition, by excluding acquisition related costs the Company believes FFO, as Adjusted provides useful information that is comparable across periods and more accurately reflects the operating performance of the Company’s properties. Certain prior year amounts have been updated to conform to the current year FFO, as Adjusted definition.

Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt. Net Debt represents our consolidated and our share of unconsolidated debt adjusted to exclude our share of unamortized premiums and discounts and deferred financing fees, less our share of cash and cash equivalents. By excluding these items, the result provides an estimate of the contractual amount of borrowed capital to be repaid, net of cash available to repay it. The Company believes this calculation constitutes a beneficial supplemental non-GAAP financial disclosure to investors in understanding its financial condition. Adjusted Net Debt is Net Debt reduced by 1) for each project under construction or in design, the lesser of i) outstanding lump-sum reimbursement amounts and ii) the cost to date, 2) 40% times the amount by which the cost to date exceeds total lump-sum reimbursement amounts for each project under construction or in design and 3) outstanding lump-sum reimbursement amounts for projects previously completed. These adjustments are made to 1) remove the estimated portion of each project under construction, in design or previously completed that has been financed with debt which may be repaid with outstanding cost reimbursement payments from the US Government and 2) remove the estimated portion of each project under construction or in design, in excess of total lump-sum reimbursements, that has been financed with debt but has not yet produced earnings. See page 21 of the Company’s Q4 2021 Supplemental Information Package for further information. The Company’s method of calculating Net Debt and Adjusted Net Debt may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Other Definitions

Fully diluted basis assumes the exchange of all outstanding common units representing limited partnership interests in the Company’s operating partnership, or common units, the full vesting of all shares of restricted stock, and the exchange of all earned and vested LTIP units in the Company’s operating partnership for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis, which is not the same as the meaning of “fully diluted” under GAAP.
