JACKSON, MISSISSIPPI, October 27, 2020 - EastGroup Properties, Inc. (NYSE: EGP) (the “Company”, “we”, “us” or “EastGroup”) announced today the results of its operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Commenting on EastGroup’s performance, Marshall Loeb, CEO, stated, “Our team and portfolio performance continues to surpass our expectations. Third quarter was one of the strongest quarters in our Company’s history in spite of global turbulence. It is difficult to know when the markets will return to a sense of normalcy, but our sense is we are easing in that direction. And, on the other side of the pandemic, there are a number of reasons that leave us more optimistic about our opportunities than we even were pre-crisis. One result of the pandemic we foresee is the acceleration of a number of positive trends within our industry and markets.”

IMPACT OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. Global, national and local economies continue to be impacted by the pandemic and the mitigation efforts to combat the spread of COVID-19.
During the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States has experienced, and may continue to experience, significant health, social and economic impacts from COVID-19. EastGroup’s operations, occupancy and rent collections have remained stable during this period. As of October 26, 2020, the Company has received rent relief requests, primarily in the form of payment deferral requests, from approximately 28% of its customers. For comparison, this is only a slight increase from 26% at the end of April 2020 during the beginning of the pandemic. To date, approximately 17% of these requests have been granted some form of relief, which represents approximately 5% of the Company’s customers on a square foot basis. The Company has executed rent deferral agreements totaling $1.7 million, which represents approximately 0.5% of the Company’s estimated 2020 revenue. The deferrals include approximately $1.5 million that was applicable to periods through September 30, 2020 and approximately $150,000 for future periods. The terms differ for each deferral agreement, and all deferred rent payments that were due through September 30, 2020 have been collected. Under modified COVID-19-related guidance provided by the FASB, rental income for the majority of these deferral agreements ($1.4 million of the $1.7 million) qualify to be recognized as rental income in the periods in which they were charged under the original terms of the leases. These requests are being handled on a case-by-case basis, and the Company’s responses are largely dependent on its understanding of the financial strength of the customer, the operational and earnings impacts being experienced by the customer, and the customer’s ability or inability to obtain capital through debt or equity issuances, government assistance programs or by other means. As of October 26, 2020, rent payment deferrals and other forms of rent relief have not been material; the Company is continuing to actively monitor the evolving situation and its impact on the Company’s cash flows and operations.
400 W. Parkway Place, Suite 100, Ridgeland, MS 39157 | TEL: 601-354-3555 | FAX: 601-352-1441 | EastGroup.net
As of October 26, 2020, the Company’s rent collection and rent payment deferral status was as follows:
| Month in Year 2020 | % of Rent<br><br>Collected ^(1)^ | % of Uncollected Rent Deferred to Future Period | % of Uncollected Rent With No Deferral Agreement |
|---|---|---|---|
| March | 99.8% | —% | 0.2% |
| April | 99.7% | 0.1% | 0.2% |
| May | 98.9% | 0.7% | 0.4% |
| June | 98.6% | 0.9% | 0.5% |
| July | 98.9% | 0.7% | 0.4% |
| August | 99.0% | 0.5% | 0.5% |
| September | 99.2% | 0.2% | 0.6% |
| October ^(2)^ | 97.6% | 0.1% | 2.3% |
^(1)^^^Customer payments are received daily. The collection information presented is current through October 26, 2020, and the Company anticipates continuing to receive rental payments which will increase the % of Rent Collected.
^(2)^^^Assumes collections from government-related tenants. For comparison, as of October 26, 2020, October rental receipts are slightly higher than the September rental receipts were as of September 26, 2020.
As of September 30, 2020, Houston, EastGroup’s largest market, represented approximately 13.5% of the Company’s total portfolio on an annualized base rent basis, and the Company’s Houston portfolio was 96.2% leased and occupied. As of October 26, 2020, EastGroup had collected the following percentages of its monthly rent for its Houston properties: 100% for March through June, 99.3% for July, 98.8% for August, 99.0% for September, and 98.4% for October (assumes collections from government-related tenants).
We believe EastGroup’s financial condition and balance sheet remain strong. As of September 30, 2020, the outstanding balance on the Company’s $395 million unsecured revolving credit facilities was $77.5 million, providing $317.5 million of available capacity. The availability on the revolving credit facilities has increased to the full capacity of $395 million as of October 26, 2020. EastGroup has not drawn amounts on its unsecured revolving credit facilities, except for general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business. The Company is in compliance with its debt covenants at September 30, 2020 and anticipates remaining in compliance during the foreseeable future. The Company’s recent debt and equity activity is described below under Financial Strength and Flexibility.
The Company has been continuing construction on already-active development and value-add projects. During the second and third quarters, EastGroup did not begin construction on any new development projects. During the fourth quarter, the Company anticipates starting construction on new development projects as forecast in the Outlook for 2020 section of this release. Management will continue to monitor the economic conditions of the Company’s markets to determine whether to begin construction on additional future development projects.
The future impacts of COVID-19 on the Company are largely dependent on the severity and duration of the economic uncertainty and its effect on EastGroup’s customers and cannot be predicted with certainty at this time.
ACQUISITIONS
In September, the Company acquired 29 acres of development land in Ft. Myers for $3.3 million. The land, which is adjacent to the Company’s SunCoast Commerce Center, is expected to accommodate the future development of approximately 370,000 square feet across four buildings.
Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company closed the acquisition of Rancho Distribution Center in the Inland Empire West submarket of Los Angeles. The 162,000 square foot multi-tenant distribution building was acquired for $27.8 million. The addition of this property brings EastGroup’s ownership in Los Angeles, which is currently 100% leased, to 2.5 million square feet.

The projects, which were collectively 26% leased as of October 26, 2020, have a projected total cost of $226.7 million, of which $24.9 million remained to be spent as of September 30, 2020.
During the third quarter of 2020, EastGroup transferred (at the earlier of 90% occupied or one year after shell completion/value-add acquisition date) seven development and value-add projects to the real estate portfolio. The projects, which are located in Miami, Tampa, Fort Myers, Charlotte, Dallas and San Diego, contain a total of 899,000 square feet and are 86% leased as of October 26, 2020.

DIVIDENDS
EastGroup declared a cash dividend of $0.79 per share in the third quarter of 2020, which represented a 5.3% increase over the previous quarter’s dividend. The third quarter dividend, which was paid on October 15, 2020, was the Company’s 163^rd^ consecutive quarterly cash distribution to shareholders. The Company has increased or maintained its dividend for 28 consecutive years and has increased it 25 years over that period, including increases in each of the last nine years. The annualized dividend rate of $3.16 per share yielded 2.3% on the closing stock price of $135.71 on October 26, 2020.
FINANCIAL STRENGTH AND FLEXIBILITY
EastGroup continues to maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet. Debt-to-total market capitalization was 19.2% at September 30, 2020. For the third quarter of 2020, the Company’s interest and fixed charge coverage ratio was 7.43x and its ratio of debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate (“EBITDAre”) was 4.88x. EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure defined under Definitions later in this release. A reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDAre is presented in the attached schedule “Reconciliations of GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures.”
During the third quarter, EastGroup issued and sold 238,086 shares of common stock under its continuous common equity offering program at an average price of $133.27 per share, providing aggregate net proceeds to the Company of $31.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, EastGroup issued and sold 587,544 shares of common stock under its continuous common equity program at an average price of $130.59 per share, providing aggregate net proceeds to the Company of $75.7 million.
As previously announced, in July 2020, the Company and a group of lenders agreed to terms on the private placement of $175 million of senior unsecured notes with a weighted average fixed interest rate of 2.65%. The $100 million note has a 10-year term and a fixed interest rate of 2.61%, and the $75 million note has a 12-year term and a fixed interest rate of 2.71%. These maturity dates complement the Company's existing debt maturity schedule. The notes dated August 17, 2020, were issued and sold on October 14, 2020 and require interest-only payments. The notes will not be and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements.
In August, the Company made a scheduled $30 million principal payment on its senior unsecured notes with an interest rate of 3.8%.
Subsequent to quarter-end, EastGroup repaid (with no penalty) a mortgage loan with a balance of $45.9 million, an interest rate of 4.39% and an original maturity date of January 5, 2021.
OUTLOOK FOR 2020
EPS for 2020 is now estimated to be in the range of $2.40 to $2.44. Estimated FFO per share attributable to common stockholders for 2020 is now estimated to be in the range of $5.33 to $5.37. The table below reconciles projected net income attributable to common stockholders to projected FFO. The estimated net income attributable to common stockholders is not a projection and is provided solely to satisfy the disclosure requirements of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
EastGroup’s projections are based on management’s current beliefs and assumptions about our business, the industry and the markets in which we operate; there are known and unknown risks and uncertainties associated with these projections.

DEFINITIONS
The Company’s chief decision makers use two primary measures of operating results in making decisions: (1) funds from operations attributable to common stockholders (“FFO”) and (2) property net operating income (“PNOI”), 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.
FFO is computed in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“Nareit”). In December 2018, Nareit issued the “Nareit Funds from Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement” (the “2018 White Paper”), which reaffirmed, and in some cases refined, Nareit's prior determinations concerning FFO. The guidance in the 2018 White Paper 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. The Company has adjusted its 2018 and prior results, as necessary, to reflect this guidance. 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 Excluding Gain on Casualties and Involuntary Conversion is calculated as FFO (as defined above), adjusted to exclude gain on casualties and involuntary conversion. The Company believes that the exclusion of gain on casualties and involuntary conversion presents a more meaningful comparison of operating performance.
EastGroup sometimes refers to PNOI from Same Properties as “Same PNOI” in this press release and the accompanying reconciliation; the Company also presents Same PNOI Excluding Income from Lease Terminations. 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. The Company believes it is useful to evaluate Same PNOI Excluding Income from Lease Terminations on both a straight-line and cash basis. The straight-line basis is calculated by averaging the customers’ rent payments over the lives of the leases; GAAP requires the recognition of rental income on the straight-line basis. The cash basis excludes adjustments for straight-line rent and amortization of market rent intangibles for acquired leases; the cash basis is an indicator of the rents charged to customers by the Company during the periods presented and is useful in analyzing the embedded rent growth in the Company’s portfolio. 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.
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 industry’s 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 real estate investment trusts (“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.
The Company’s chief decision makers also use Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”) in making decisions. EBITDAre is defined as Net Income, adjusted for gains and losses from sales of real estate investments, non-operating real estate and other assets incidental to the Company’s business, interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization. EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial
400 W. Parkway Place, Suite 100, Ridgeland, MS 39157 | TEL: 601-354-3555 | FAX: 601-352-1441 | EastGroup.net
measure used to measure the Company’s operating performance and its ability to meet interest payment obligations and pay quarterly stock dividends on an unleveraged basis.
EastGroup’s chief decision makers also use its Debt-to-EBITDAre ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure calculated by dividing the Company’s debt by its EBITDAre, in analyzing the financial condition and operating performance of the Company relative to its leverage.
The Company’s interest and fixed charge coverage ratios are non-GAAP financial measures calculated by dividing the Company’s EBITDAre by its interest expense. These ratios provide a basis for analysis of the Company’s leverage, operating performance, and its ability to service the interest payments due on its debt.

Glossary of REIT Terms Listed below are definitions of commonly used real estate investment trust (“REIT”) industry terms. For additional information on REITs, please see the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) web site at www.reit.com. Adjusted Debt-to-Pro Forma EBITDAre Ratio: A ratio calculated by dividing a company’s adjusted debt by its pro forma EBITDAre. Debt is adjusted by subtracting the cost of development and value-add properties in lease-up or under construction. EBITDAre is further adjusted by adding an estimate of NOI for significant acquisitions as if the acquired properties were owned for the entire period, and by subtracting NOI from development and value-add properties in lease-up or under construction and from properties sold during the period. The Adjusted Debt-to-Pro Forma EBITDAre Ratio is a non-GAAP financial measure used to analyze the Company’s financial condition and operating performance relative to its leverage, on an adjusted basis, so as to normalize and annualize property changes during the period. Cash Basis: The Company adjusts its GAAP reporting to exclude straight-line rent adjustments and amortization of market rent intangibles for acquired leases. The cash basis is an indicator of the rents charged to customers by the Company during the periods presented and is useful in analyzing the embedded rent growth in the Company’s portfolio. Debt-to-EBITDAre Ratio: A ratio calculated by dividing a company’s debt by its EBITDAre; this non-GAAP measure is used to analyze the Company’s financial condition and operating performance relative to its leverage. Debt-to-Total Market Capitalization Ratio: A ratio calculated by dividing a company’s debt by the total amount of a company’s equity (at market value) and debt. Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization for Real Estate (“EBITDAre”): Earnings, defined as Net Income, excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate investments and non-operating real estate, plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure used to measure the Company’s operating performance and its ability to meet interest payment obligations and pay quarterly stock dividends on an unleveraged basis. Funds From Operations (“FFO”): FFO is the most commonly accepted reporting measure of a REIT’s operating performance, and the Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by Nareit in the Nareit Funds from Operations White Paper — 2018 Restatement. It is equal to a REIT’s net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with 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 a non-GAAP financial measure used to evaluate the performance of the Company’s investments in real estate assets and its operating results. FFO Excluding Gain on Casualties and Involuntary Conversion: A reporting measure calculated as FFO (as defined above), adjusted to exclude gain on casualties and involuntary conversion. The Company believes that the exclusion of gain on casualties and involuntary conversion presents a more meaningful comparison of operating performance. Industrial Properties: Generally consisting of four concrete walls tilted up on a slab of concrete. An internal office component is then added. Business uses include warehousing, distribution, light manufacturing and assembly, research and development, showroom, office, or a combination of some or all of the aforementioned. Leases Expiring and Renewal Leases Signed of Expiring Square Feet: Includes renewals during the period with terms commencing during the period and after the end of the period. Operating Land: Land with no buildings or improvements that generates income from leases with tenants; included in Real estate properties on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Operating Properties: 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. Percentage Leased: The percentage of total leasable square footage for which there is a signed lease, including month-to-month leases, as of the close of the reporting period. Space is considered leased upon execution of the lease. Page 23 of 24
Glossary of REIT Terms (Continued) Percentage Occupied: The percentage of total leasable square footage for which the lease term has commenced as of the close of the reporting period. Property Net Operating Income (“PNOI”): 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. PNOI is a non-GAAP, property-level supplemental measure of performance used to evaluate the performance of the Company’s investments in real estate assets and its operating results. Real Estate Investment Trust: A company that owns and, in most cases, operates income-producing real estate such as apartments, shopping centers, offices, hotels and warehouses. Some REITs also engage in financing real estate. The shares of most REITs are freely traded, usually on a major stock exchange. To qualify as a REIT, a company must distribute at least 90 percent of its taxable income to its stockholders annually. A company that qualifies as a REIT is permitted to deduct dividends paid to its stockholders from its corporate taxable income. As a result, most REITs remit at least 100 percent of their taxable income to their stockholders and therefore owe no corporate federal income tax. Taxes are paid by stockholders on the dividends received. Most states honor this federal treatment and also do not require REITs to pay state income tax. Rental changes on new and renewal leases: Rental changes are calculated as the difference, weighted by square feet, of the annualized base rent due the first month of the new lease’s term and the annualized base rent of the rent due the last month of the former lease’s term. If free rent is given, then the first positive full rent value is used. Rental amounts exclude base stop amounts, holdover rent, and premium or discounted rent amounts. This calculation excludes leases with terms less than 12 months and leases for first generation space on properties acquired or developed by EastGroup. Same Properties: Operating properties owned during the entire current and prior year reporting periods. 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 excluded. The Same Property Pool includes properties which were included in the operating portfolio for the entire period from January 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020. Same Property Net Operating Income (“Same PNOI”): 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, for the same properties owned by the Company during the entire current and prior year reporting periods. Same PNOI is a non-GAAP, 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. Same PNOI Excluding Income from Lease Terminations: Same PNOI (as defined above), adjusted to exclude income from lease terminations. The Company believes it is useful to evaluate Same PNOI Excluding Income from Lease Terminations on both a straight-line and cash basis. The straight-line basis is calculated by averaging the customers’ rent payments over the lives of the leases; GAAP requires the recognition of rental income on the straight-line basis. The cash basis excludes adjustments for straight-line rent and amortization of market rent intangibles for acquired leases; the cash basis is an indicator of the rents charged to customers by the Company during the periods presented and is useful in analyzing the embedded rent growth in the Company’s portfolio. Straight-Lining: The process of averaging the customer’s rent payments over the life of the lease. GAAP requires real estate companies to “straight-line” rents. Total Return: A stock’s dividend income plus capital appreciation/depreciation over a specified period as a percentage of the stock price at the beginning of the period. Value-Add Properties: Properties that are either acquired but not stabilized or can be converted to a higher and better use. Acquired properties meeting either of the following two conditions are considered value-add properties: (1) Less than 75% occupied 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 acquisition cost will be spent to redevelop the property.
