### Overview

References to “we,” “our,” “us” and “the Company” refer to Easterly Government Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, including Easterly Government Properties LP, a Delaware limited partnership, which we refer to herein as the “operating partnership.” We present certain financial information and metrics “at Easterly Share,” which is calculated on an entity-by-entity basis. “At Easterly Share” information, which we also refer to as being “at share,” “pro rata,” “our pro rata share” or “our share” is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”).

We are an internally managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), focused primarily on the acquisition, development and management of Class A commercial properties that are leased to U.S. Government agencies that serve essential functions. We generate substantially all of our revenue by leasing our properties to such agencies, either directly or through the U.S. General Services Administration (“GSA”). Our objective is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders over the long term through dividends and capital appreciation.

We focus on acquiring, developing and managing U.S. Government-leased properties that are essential to supporting the mission of the tenant agency and strive to be a partner of choice for the U.S. Government, working closely with the tenant agency to meet its needs and objectives. We may also consider other potential opportunities to add properties to our portfolio, including acquiring properties leased to states and local governments with strong creditworthiness. As of September 30, 2023, we wholly owned 78 operating properties and nine operating properties through an unconsolidated joint venture (the “JV”) in the United States encompassing approximately 8.6 million leased square feet (8.2 million pro rata), including 86 operating properties that were leased primarily to U.S. Government tenant agencies and one operating property that was entirely leased to a private tenant. As of September 30, 2023, our operating properties were 97% leased. For purposes of calculating percentage leased, we exclude from the denominator total square feet that was unleased and to which we attributed no value at the time of acquisition. In addition, we wholly owned one property under development that we expect will encompass approximately 0.2 million leased square feet upon completion.

The operating partnership holds substantially all of our assets and conducts substantially all of our business. We are the sole general partner of the operating partnership and owned approximately 88.5% of the aggregate limited partnership interests in the operating partnership, which we refer to herein as common units, as of September 30, 2023. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT and we believe that we have operated and have been organized in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015.

### 2023 Activity

### Acquisitions

On October 3, 2023, we acquired a 95,273 leased square foot Class A facility located in Anaheim, California. The building was renovated in 2020. The facility is 100% leased by tenant agencies of the state of California for beneficial use of the Employment Development Department and Department of Industrial Relations and has lease expirations ranging from 2033 to 2034.

On October 3, 2023, we acquired a 91,185 leased square foot Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) facility in Atlanta, Georgia. The building was renovated to suit in 2023. The facility is primarily leased to the GSA for beneficial use of the Custom and Border Protection and Transportation Security Administration and has lease expirations ranging from 2031 to 2038.

On October 19, 2023, we acquired a 35,005 leased square foot Judiciary of the U.S. Government (“JUD”) courthouse in Newport News, Virginia. The building is a build-to-suit courthouse completed in 2008. The facility is leased to the GSA for beneficial use of the JUD with a lease expiration of July 2033.

### Investment in unconsolidated real estate venture

On September 22, 2023, the JV acquired a 69,276 square foot Veteran Affairs (“VA”) outpatient facility located in Corpus Christi, Texas. The building is a build-to-suit property that was completed during 2022. The outpatient facility is leased to the VA and has a lease expiration of November 2042. The facility is the ninth of ten properties to be acquired in the previously announced portfolio of ten properties 100% leased to the VA (the “VA Portfolio”). We anticipate the JV will acquire the tenth property in the VA portfolio in 2024.

### Operating Properties

As of September 30, 2023, our operating properties were 97% leased with a weighted average annualized lease income per leased square foot of $35.79 ($35.44 pro rata) and a weighted average age of approximately 14.5 years based on the date the property was built or renovated-to-suit, where applicable. We calculate annualized lease income as annualized contractual base rent for the last month in a specified period, plus the annualized straight line rent adjustments for the last month in such period and the annualized net expense reimbursements earned by us for the last month in such period.

The table set forth below shows information relating to the properties we owned, or in which we had an ownership interest, at September 30, 2023, and it includes properties held by the JV:

(7) We own 53.0% of the property through an unconsolidated joint venture.

(8) Property is subject to a ground lease where we are the lessee.

Certain of our leases are currently in the “soft-term” period of the lease, meaning that the U.S. Government tenant agency has the right to terminate the lease prior to its stated lease end date. We believe that, from the U.S. Government’s perspective, leases with such provisions are helpful for budgetary purposes. While some of our leases are contractually subject to early termination, we do not believe that our tenant agencies are likely to terminate these leases early given the build-to-suit features at the properties subject to the leases, the weighted average age of these properties based on the date the property was built or renovated-to-suit, where applicable (approximately 19.3 years as of September 30, 2023), the mission-critical focus of the properties subject to the leases and the current level of operations at such properties.

The following table sets forth a schedule of lease expirations for leases in place (including for wholly owned properties and properties held by the JV) as of September 30, 2023:

(1) The year of lease expiration is pursuant to current contract terms. Some tenants have the right to vacate their space during a specified period, or “soft term,” before the stated terms of their leases expire. As of September 30, 2023, 19 tenants occupying approximately 8.1% of our leased square feet and contributing approximately 7.7% of our annualized lease income have exercisable rights to terminate their lease before the stated term of their respective lease expires.

### Revenues

Total revenues decreased $3.0 million to $72.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $75.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

The $4.4 million decrease in Rental income is primarily attributable to a decrease in revenues from the ten properties disposed of since September 30, 2022, offset by a full period of operations from the one operating property acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

The $1.1 million increase in Tenant reimbursements is primarily attributable to an increase in tenant project reimbursements.

The $0.1 million increase in Asset management income is attributable to the fee we earned for asset management on two operating properties acquired by the JV since September 30, 2022, as well as from one operating property acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

The $0.2 million increase in Other income is primarily attributable to an increase in project overhead income from our tenant reimbursable projects.

### Expenses

Total expenses decreased $1.9 million to $55.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to $57.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

The $0.9 million increase in Property operating expenses is primarily attributable to an increase in reimbursable projects.

The $0.4 million decrease in Real estate taxes is primarily attributable to the ten properties disposed of since September 30, 2022, offset by a full period of operations from the one operating property acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

The $2.8 million decrease in Depreciation and amortization is primarily attributable to the ten properties disposed of since September 30, 2022, offset by a full period of operations from the one operating property acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

The $0.2 million increase in Corporate general and administrative is primarily due to an increase in legal and professional fees.

### Income from unconsolidated real estate venture

The $0.5 million increase in Income from unconsolidated real estate venture is primarily attributable to our pro rata share of operations from two operating properties acquired by the JV since September 30, 2022, as well as a full period of operations from one operating property acquired during the three months ended September 30, 2022.

### Interest expense, net

The $0.4 million decrease in Interest expense, net is primarily attributable to lower weighted average borrowings on our credit facility, partially offset by increased weighted average borrowings and interest rates on our swapped term loans.

### Impairment loss

During the quarter ended September 30, 2022, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $5.5 million for our ICE – Otay property in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated fair value, which declined due to changes in expected cash flows related to the existing tenant’s lease expiration in 2022.

### Comparison of Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

The financial information presented below summarizes our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (amounts in thousands).

### Impairment loss

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized an impairment loss totaling approximately $5.5 million for our ICE – Otay property in order to reduce its carrying value to its estimated fair value, which declined due to changes in expected cash flows related to the existing tenant’s lease expiration in 2022.

### Liquidity and Capital Resources

We anticipate that our cash flows from the sources listed below will provide adequate capital for the next 12 months for all anticipated uses, including all scheduled principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, current and anticipated tenant improvements, planned and possible acquisitions of properties, including the one remaining property in the portfolio of ten properties anticipated to be acquired through the JV (the “VA Portfolio”), stockholder distributions to maintain our qualification as a REIT, potential repurchases of common stock under our share repurchase program and other capital obligations associated with conducting our business. At September 30, 2023, we had $33.4 million available in cash and cash equivalents and there was $449.9 million available under our revolving credit facility.

#### Our primary expected sources of capital are as follows:

- cash and cash equivalents;
- operating cash flow;
- distribution of cash flows from the JV;
- available borrowings under our revolving credit facility;
- issuance of long-term debt;
- issuance of equity, including under our ATM Programs (as described below); and
- asset sales.

#### Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for the following:

- development and redevelopment activities, including major redevelopment, renovation or expansion programs at individual properties;
- property acquisitions under contract, including our pro rata share of the one remaining VA Portfolio property;
- tenant improvements, allowances and leasing costs;
- recurring maintenance and capital expenditures;
- debt repayment requirements;
- corporate and administrative costs;
- interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness;
- interest swap payments;
- distribution payments; and
- potential repurchases of common stock under our share repurchase program.

Our long-term liquidity needs, in addition to recurring short-term liquidity needs as discussed above, consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, non-recurring capital expenditures, and scheduled debt maturities. Although we may be able to anticipate and plan for certain of our liquidity needs, unexpected increases in uses of cash that are beyond our control and which affect our financial condition and results of operations may arise, or our sources of liquidity may be fewer than, and the funds available from such sources may be less than, anticipated or required. As of the date of this filing, there were no known commitments or events that would have a material impact on our liquidity.

### Equity

#### Offering of Common Stock on a Forward Basis

On August 11, 2021, we completed an underwritten public offering of 6,300,000 shares of common stock offered on a forward basis. In connection with the offering, we also entered into separate forward sale agreements with each of the forward purchasers (the “Forward Sales Agreements”), pursuant to which the forward purchasers borrowed and sold to the underwriters an aggregate of 6,300,000 shares of our common stock. On December 28, 2021, we issued 3,991,000 shares of our common stock for net proceeds of $85.0 million, which shares were issued in partial settlement of the Forward Sales Agreements entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we issued 2,309,000 shares of common stock under the Forward Sale Agreements and received net cash proceeds of approximately $46.8 million. As of September 30, 2023, all shares of common stock under the Forward Sales Agreements had been issued and settled.

#### ATM Programs

We entered into separate equity distribution agreements on each of December 20, 2019 (the “2019 ATM Program”) and June 22, 2021 (the “2021 ATM Program” and, together with the 2019 ATM Program, the “ATM Programs”) with various financial institutions pursuant to which we may issue and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million under each ATM Program from time to time in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 under the Securities Act. Under each of the ATM Programs, we may enter into one or more forward transactions (each, a “forward sale transaction”) under separate master forward sale confirmations and related supplemental confirmations with each of the various financial institutions party to the respective ATM Program for the sale of shares of our common stock on a forward basis.

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to issuances under the 2019 ATM Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 (amounts in thousands, except share amounts):

| For the three months ended | 2019 ATM Program Number of Shares Issued(1) | Net Proceeds(1) |
| --- | ---: | ---: |

| September 30, 2023 | 1,700,000 | 33,717 |
| Total | 1,950,000 | $39,279 |

(1) Shares were all issued in settlement of forward sales transactions. As of September 30, 2023, we had settled all of our outstanding forward sales transactions under the 2019 ATM Program. We accounted for the forward sale transactions as equity.

No sales of shares of our common stock were made under the 2021 ATM Program during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

We used the net proceeds received from sales under our 2019 ATM Program for general corporate purposes. As of September 30, 2023, we had approximately $300.0 million of gross sales of our common stock available under the 2021 ATM Program and $87.4 million of gross sales of common stock available under the 2019 ATM Program.

#### Share Repurchase Program

On April 28, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program whereby we may repurchase up to 4,538,994 shares of our common stock, or approximately 5% of our outstanding shares as of the authorization date. We are not required to purchase shares under the share repurchase program but may choose to do so in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions at times and amounts based on our evaluation of market conditions and other factors.

No repurchases of shares of our common stock were made under the share repurchase program during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

(1) At September 30, 2023, the USD SOFR with a five day lookback (“S”) was 5.31%. The current interest rate is not adjusted to include the amortization of deferred financing fees or debt issuance costs incurred in obtaining debt or any unamortized fair market value premiums. The spread over the applicable rate for each of our $450.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (our “revolving credit facility”), our $200.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (as amended, our “2018 term loan facility”) and our $100.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (our “2016 term loan facility”) is based on our consolidated leverage ratio, as set forth in the respective loan agreements.

(3) Our revolving credit facility has two six-month as-of-right extension options subject to certain conditions and the payment of an extension fee.

(4) Entered into one interest rate swap with an effective date of September 29, 2023 with a notional value of $100.0 million to effectively fix the interest rate at 5.05% annually, based on our consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in our 2016 term loan facility agreement.

(5) Entered into two interest rate swaps with an effective date of June 23, 2023 with an aggregate notional value of $200.0 million to effectively fix the interest rate at 5.39% annually, based on our consolidated leverage ratio, as defined in our 2018 term loan facility agreement.

On January 26, 2023, we used $15.7 million of available cash to extinguish the mortgage note obligation on DEA – Pleasanton.

On February 3, 2023, we entered into three SOFR-based interest rate swaps each with a notional value of $100.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. Two of the interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional value of $200.0 million, became effective in June 2023. The third swap, with a notional value of $100.0 million, became effective in September 2023. For more information on our interest rate swaps, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

These amendments added a daily simple SOFR-based option to the term SOFR-based floating interest rate option as a benchmark rate for borrowings denominated in U.S. dollars for all purposes under the credit and term loan agreements, including, in each case, a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%.

On July 20, 2023, we exercised in full the $50.0 million delayed draw option on our 2018 term loan facility, increasing our 2018 term loan facility commitments from $150.0 million to $200.0 million, and transferred $50.0 million of our interest rate swap with a notional value of $100.0 million, from our revolving credit facility to the $50.0 million delayed draw.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no material changes to the cash commitment information presented in Item 7 of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

### Unconsolidated Real Estate Venture

We consolidate entities in which we have a controlling interest or are the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity. From time to time, we may have off-balance sheet unconsolidated real estate ventures and other unconsolidated arrangements with varying structures.

As of September 30, 2023, we have invested $284.5 million in the JV. As of September 30, 2023, we committed capital, net of return of over committed capital, to the JV totaling $291.8 million and have a remaining capital commitment of $46.5 million. None of the properties owned by the JV are encumbered by mortgage indebtedness.

For a more complete description of the JV, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

### Dividend Policy

In order to qualify as a REIT, we are required to distribute to our stockholders, on an annual basis, at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. We anticipate distributing all of our taxable income. We expect to make quarterly distributions to our stockholders in a manner intended to satisfy this requirement. Prior to making any distributions for U.S. federal tax purposes or otherwise, we must first satisfy our operating and debt service obligations. It is possible that it would be necessary to utilize cash reserves, liquidate assets at unfavorable prices or incur additional indebtedness in order to make required distributions. It is also possible that our board of directors could decide to make required distributions in part by using shares of our common stock.

A summary of dividends declared by the board of directors per share of common stock and per common unit at the date of record is as follows:

| Quarter | Declaration Date | Record Date | Payment Date | Dividend (1) |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | ---: |
| Q1 2023 | April 26, 2023 | May 11, 2023 | May 23, 2023 | $0.265 |
| Q2 2023 | August 2, 2023 | August 17, 2023 | August 29, 2023 | $0.265 |
| Q3 2023 | October 26, 2023 | November 9, 2023 | November 21, 2023 | $0.265 |

(1) Prior to the end of the performance period as set forth in the applicable LTIP unit award, holders of performance-based LTIP units are entitled to receive dividends per LTIP unit equal to 10% of the dividend paid per common unit. After the end of the performance period, the number of LTIP units, both vested and unvested, that LTIP award recipients have earned, if any, are entitled to receive dividends in an amount per LTIP unit equal to dividends, both regular and special, payable per common unit. Holders of LTIP units that are not subject to the attainment of performance goals are entitled to receive dividends per LTIP unit equal to 100% of the dividend paid per common unit beginning on the grant date.

### Inflation

Substantially all of our leases provide for operating expense escalations. We believe inflationary increases in expenses may be at least partially offset by the operating expenses that are passed through to our tenants and by contractual rent increases. We do not believe inflation has had a material impact on our historical financial position or results of operations.

### Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use and present Funds From Operations (“FFO”), Core FFO and FFO, as Adjusted as supplemental measures of our performance. The summary below describes our use of FFO, Core FFO and FFO, as Adjusted, provides information regarding why we believe these measures are meaningful supplemental measures of our performance and reconciles these measures from net income, presented in accordance with GAAP.

### Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations, as Adjusted

FFO is a supplemental measure of our performance. We present FFO calculated in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) definition set forth in the Nareit FFO White Paper – Restatement 2018. FFO includes the REIT’s share of FFO generated by unconsolidated affiliates. In addition, we present Core FFO and FFO, as Adjusted for certain other adjustments that we believe enhance the comparability of our FFO across periods and to the FFO reported by other publicly traded REITs. FFO is a supplemental performance measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry to assist investors and analysts in comparing results of REITs.

FFO is defined by Nareit as net income (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.
- 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.

We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance, and we believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting results.

We adjust FFO to present Core FFO as an alternative measure of our operating performance, which, when applicable, excludes items which we believe are not representative of ongoing operating results, such as liability management related costs (including losses on extinguishment of debt and modification costs), catastrophic event charges, depreciation of non-real estate assets, and the unconsolidated real estate venture's allocated share of these adjustments. In future periods, we may also exclude other items from Core FFO that we believe may help investors compare our results. We believe Core FFO more accurately reflects the ongoing operational and financial performance of our core business.

We adjust FFO to present FFO, as Adjusted as an alternative measure of our operating performance, which, when applicable, excludes the impact of losses on extinguishment of debt, depreciation of non-real estate assets, acquisition costs, straight-line rent and other non-cash adjustments, amortization of deferred revenue (which results from landlord assets funded by tenants), non-cash interest expense, non-cash compensation, amortization of above-/below-market leases, and the unconsolidated real estate venture’s allocated share of these adjustments. By excluding these income and expense items from FFO, as Adjusted, we believe we provide useful information as these items have no cash impact. In addition, by excluding acquisition related costs, we believe FFO, as Adjusted provides useful information that is comparable across periods and more accurately reflects the operating performance of our properties.

FFO, Core FFO and FFO, as Adjusted are presented as supplemental financial measures and do not fully represent our operating performance. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating FFO, Core FFO and FFO, as Adjusted or use other definitions of FFO, Core FFO and FFO, as Adjusted and, accordingly, our presentation of these measures may not be comparable to other REITs. Neither FFO, Core FFO nor FFO, as Adjusted are intended to be a measure of cash flow or liquidity. Please refer to our financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our net income to FFO, Core FFO and FFO, as Adjusted for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (amounts in thousands):

### Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base these estimates, judgments, and assumptions on historical experience, current trends, and various other factors that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, or different assumptions were made, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied, resulting in different financial results or a different presentation of our financial statements.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 contains a discussion of our significant accounting policies, which utilize relevant critical accounting estimates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no material changes to the discussion of our significant accounting policies included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

## Market risk

As filed, 1,361 characters.

Market risk is the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future earnings, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Our primary market risk results from our indebtedness, which may bear interest at both fixed and variable rates. We manage and may continue to manage our market risk on variable rate debt by entering into swap arrangements to, in effect, fix the rate on all or a portion of the debt for varying periods up to maturity. This in turn, reduces the risks of variability of cash flows created by variable rate debt and mitigates the risk of increases in interest rates. Our objective when undertaking such arrangements is to reduce our floating rate exposure and we do not intend to enter into hedging arrangements for speculative purposes. For more information on our interest rate swaps, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

As of September 30, 2023, $1.2 billion, or 100.0% of our debt, excluding unamortized premiums and discounts, had fixed interest rates and none had variable interest rates. If market rates of interest on variable rate debt fluctuate by 25 basis points there would be no impact to us.

As of September 30, 2023, each of the agreements governing our variable rate debt have been transitioned to SOFR.

## Controls and procedures

As filed, 1,407 characters.

#### Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
