How this balance works

Rhea-AI gives every point it takes from this document a weight. Minor counts 1, Moderate 3 and Major 9, so one Major point outweighs several Minor ones. The bar adds up the weights on each side, and when neither side holds more than 65% of the total the balance reads Mixed.

It reads the document as published, with the same rules for every company, and it does not look at what the market expected or at how the stock traded, so a point can be objectively good on a day the stock falls.

Rhea-AI Sentiment measures something else, the tone of the wording.

Core FFO financial
"Core FFO per fully diluted share"
Core FFO (Core Funds From Operations) is a real estate industry measure of a property owner's recurring cash earnings calculated by starting with net income and removing non-cash accounting items and one-time gains or losses so the number reflects ongoing operating performance. Investors use it like a trimmed-down paycheck: it helps compare cash-generating ability across periods and companies by focusing on the stable, repeatable income rather than temporary or accounting-driven swings.
Property Cash NOI financial
"Same-Store Property Cash NOI, excluding lease termination fees"
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA financial
"ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 6.7x"
Net debt to adjusted EBITDA is a leverage ratio that compares a company’s net debt (total interest-bearing debt minus cash) to its recurring operating earnings after removing one-off items. Think of it like how many years of steady take-home pay the business would need to pay off its outstanding debt; investors use it to gauge debt burden, financial risk and relative creditworthiness, with lower ratios generally indicating a safer balance sheet.
1031 replacement asset financial
"used as a partial 1031 replacement asset"
A 1031 replacement asset is the property acquired to take the place of real estate sold in a Section 1031 like-kind exchange under U.S. tax law. To qualify, the replacement must be like-kind real property held for investment or business use (personal-use and most personal property no longer qualify), and it must be identified and received within the strict timelines set by the tax code—typically identified within 45 days of the sale and acquired within 180 days—otherwise the transaction can lose its tax-deferred status.
delayed draw term loan financial
"a $245 million unsecured delayed draw term loan"
A delayed draw term loan is a financing agreement that lets a borrower take one or more lump-sum loans from a lender at agreed future dates within a set time window instead of receiving all funds up front. It matters to investors because it changes when and how much debt a company will carry, affecting cash flexibility, interest costs and risk exposure—think of it like an approved credit line you only tap when you need cash for a project.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures
Funds From Operations
We compute Funds From Operations ("FFO") in accordance with the “White Paper” on FFO published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding impairment write-off of investments in depreciable real estate and investments in in-substance real estate investments, gains or losses from debt restructurings and sales of depreciable operating properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), less distributions to non-controlling interests and gains/losses from discontinued operations and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is a widely recognized non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that we believe, when considered with financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. In addition, we believe FFO is useful to investors as it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate has generally appreciated over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets. Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net income, when trying to understand an equity REIT’s operating performance. We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental



measure of our operating performance and believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results of operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of performance is limited. There can be no assurance that FFO presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP or to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of REITs, as the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of FFO may vary from one company to another.
Modified Funds From Operations
Modified Funds From Operations ("Modified FFO") adds back an adjustment for any below-market ground lease amortization to traditionally defined FFO. We believe this is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating our operating performance due to the non-cash accounting treatment under GAAP, which stems from the third quarter 2014 acquisition of two option properties following our formation transactions as they carry significantly below market ground leases, the amortization of which is material to our overall results. We present Modified FFO because we believe it is an important supplemental measure of our operating performance in that it adds back the non-cash amortization of below-market ground leases. There can be no assurance that Modified FFO presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs. Modified FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP or to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Modified FFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions.
Core Funds From Operations
Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") adds back to Modified FFO the following items: loss on early extinguishment of debt, acquisition expenses, severance expenses, IPO litigation expense, goodwill impairment charge and interest expense associated with property in receivership. The Company believes Core FFO is an important supplemental measure of its operating performance because it excludes non-recurring items. There can be no assurance that Core FFO presented by the Company is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs. Core FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP or to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Core FFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. In



future periods, we may also exclude other items from Core FFO that we believe may help investors compare our results.
Core Funds Available for Distribution
In addition to Core FFO, we present Core Funds Available for Distribution ("Core FAD") by (i) adding to Core FFO non-real estate depreciation and amortization, the amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of debt discounts and non-cash compensation expenses, amortization of loss on interest rate derivative and (ii) deducting straight-line rent, amortization of debt premiums and above/below market rent revenue, and recurring capital improvements such as second generation leasing commissions, tenant improvements, prebuilts, capital expenditures and furniture, fixtures & equipment. Core FAD is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure that we believe provides useful information regarding our ability to fund our dividends. Core FAD does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP or to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Core FAD is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. There can be no assurance that Core FAD presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs.
Net Operating Income and Property Cash NOI
Net Operating Income ("NOI") is a non-GAAP financial measure of performance. NOI is used by our management to evaluate and compare the performance of our properties and to determine trends in earnings and to compute the fair value of our properties as it is not affected by: (i) the cost of funds of the property owner, (ii) the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses as well as gains or losses from the sale of operating real estate assets that are included in net income computed in accordance with GAAP, (iii) acquisition expenses, loss on early extinguishment of debt, impairment charges and loss from derivative financial instruments, or (iv) general and administrative expenses and other gains and losses that are specific to the property owner. The cost of funds is eliminated from NOI because it is specific to the particular financing capabilities and constraints of the owner and is dependent on historical interest rates and other costs of capital as well as past decisions made by us regarding the appropriate mix of capital which may have changed or may change in the future. Depreciation and amortization expenses as well as gains or losses from the sale of operating real estate assets are eliminated because they may not accurately represent the actual change in value in our office, retail or multifamily properties that result from use of the properties or changes in market conditions. While certain aspects of real property do decline in value over time in a manner that is reasonably captured by depreciation and amortization, the value of the properties as a whole have historically increased or decreased as a result of changes in overall economic conditions instead of from actual use of the property or the passage of time. Gains and losses from the sale of real property vary from property to property and are affected by market conditions at the time of sale which will usually change from period to period. These gains and losses can create distortions when comparing one period to another or when comparing our operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies that have not made similarly-timed purchases or sales. We believe that eliminating



these costs from net income is useful to investors because the resulting measure captures the actual revenue generated and actual expenses incurred in operating our properties as well as trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. In some cases, the Company also presents (1) Property Cash NOI, which excludes Observatory NOI and the effects of straight-line rent, fair value lease revenue, and straight-line ground rent expense adjustment, and (2) Property Cash NOI excluding lease termination fees. Property Cash NOI is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure that management believes allows investors to compare NOI performance across periods without taking into account the effect of certain non-cash rental revenues and straight-line ground rent expense adjustment. Similar to depreciation and amortization expense, fair value lease revenues, because of historical cost accounting, may distort operating performance measures at the property level. Additionally, presenting NOI excluding the impact of straight-line rent and straight-line ground rent expense adjustment provides investors with an alternative view of operating performance at the property level that more closely reflects net cash generated in the portfolio. Presenting Property Cash NOI excluding lease termination fees provides investors with additional information that allows them to compare operating performance between periods without taking into account termination fees, which can distort the results for any given period because they generally represent multiple months or years of a tenant’s rental obligations that are paid in a lump sum in connection with a negotiated early termination of the tenant’s lease and are not reflective of the core ongoing operating performance of the Company’s portfolio. However, the usefulness of NOI, Property Cash NOI, and Property Cash NOI excluding lease termination fees is limited because it excludes general and administrative costs, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense and gains or losses from the sale of properties, and other gains and losses as stipulated by GAAP, the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which are significant economic costs. NOI and Property Cash NOI may fail to capture significant trends in these components of net income which further limits its usefulness. NOI and Property Cash NOI are measurements of the operating performance of our properties but do not measure our performance as a whole. These metrics therefore are not substitutes for net income as computed in accordance with GAAP. These measures should be analyzed in conjunction with net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may use different methods for calculating NOI, Property Cash NOI or similarly titled measures and, accordingly, our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies that do not define the measure exactly as we do.
Same Store
In the Company’s analysis of NOI, particularly to make comparisons of NOI between periods meaningful, it is important to provide information for properties that were owned by the Company throughout each period presented. The Company refers to properties acquired and/or stabilized prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented and owned by the Company through the end of the latest period presented as “Same Store”. Same Store therefore excludes properties that have not yet achieved stabilization, properties acquired and/or stabilized after the beginning of the earliest period presented and properties disposed of prior to the end of the latest period presented. Accordingly, it takes at least one year and one quarter after a property is acquired and/or achieves stabilization for that property to be included in Same Store. The



Company’s definition of Same Store also excludes properties classified as held for sale and disposed of subsequent to quarter-end and properties placed in receivership. For mixed-use properties, all same store property NOI is represented in the property category that comprises the majority of that mixed-use property's NOI. As of September 30, 2026, Same Store excludes 86-90 North 6th Street, which was acquired in June 2025, 41-55 North 6th Street, which was acquired in March 2026, 130 Mercer, which was acquired in December 2025, Metro Center, Stamford, CT, which was disposed in December 2025, 250 West 57th Street, which was disposed in June 2026, and 1359 Broadway, which was classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2026. Prior period Same Store NOI has been adjusted to reflect properties added to or removed from Same Store in the current period as a result of the Company’s acquisition and disposition activity, as applicable.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We compute EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, interest expense associated with property in receivership, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We present EBITDA because we believe that EBITDA, along with cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, provides investors with an additional indicator of its ability to incur and service debt. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of its financial performance, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), or as a measure of its liquidity. For Adjusted EBITDA, we add back impairment charges, goodwill impairment charge and (gain) loss on disposition of property.
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
We compute Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA as gross debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA attributable to properties disposed of in the trailing twelve months, and including an implied annualized Adjusted EBITDA for properties acquired in the trailing twelve months that were financed, in whole or in part, with indebtedness, derived from its purchase price and asset value calculated in accordance with our credit facility agreement. The Company believes that the presentation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because the Company reviews Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA as part of the management of its overall financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage based on its percentage ownership interest in all of its assets.
Other Definitions
"fully diluted basis" means all outstanding shares of our Class A common stock at the time indicated plus shares of Class A common stock that may be issuable upon the exchange of operating partnership units on a one-for-one basis and shares of Class A common stock issuable upon the conversion of Class B common stock on a one-for-one basis, which is not the same meaning of "full diluted" under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("GAAP").

– Core FFO Per Fully Diluted Share of $0.20 –
– Leased Over 189,000 Square Feet –
– Completed Disposition of 1359 Broadway for $217.5M –
– Repurchased $85.8 million of Common Stock –
– Increases 2026 Core FFO Range –

New York, New York, November 2, 2026 – Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ESRT) owns and operates a New York City portfolio of well-leased, top of tier, office, retail, and multifamily assets. ESRT’s Empire State Building features an Observation Deck. The Company is a recognized leader in sustainability. Today the Company reported its operational and financial results for the third quarter of 2026. All per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis, where applicable.

Third Quarter and Recent Highlights
•Net Income of $0.02 per share.
•Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”) of $0.20 per share.
•Same-Store Property Cash Net Operating Income (“NOI”), excluding lease termination fees, increased 0.5% year-over-year. The increase was primarily attributed to increases in tenant reimbursement income and insurance recoveries. This was partially offset by operating expense growth and the approximate $2 million year-over-year revenue decline from the previously disclosed FDIC expiration, which was pre-leased. Adjusted for FDIC and $1.2 million of third quarter 2026 non-recurring items, year-over-year Same-Store Property Cash NOI increased by 1.9%.
•The total commercial portfolio1,2 was 95.6% leased and 92.3% occupied as of September 30, 2026.
•Signed 189,477 rentable square feet of commercial leases, inclusive of 170,608 rentable square feet of office leases.
•In the office portfolio, blended leasing spreads were +9.9%, the 21st consecutive quarter of positive leasing spreads.
•Empire State Building Observation Deck generated NOI of $15.6 million. There is no change to the framework introduced in the second quarter of $55 million of NOI for 2026. Visitation continued to be weak.
•Subsequent to quarter-end, completed the disposition of 1359 Broadway for $217.5 million. Starting in late July, the Company began to redeploy the proceeds towards share repurchases and will also use proceeds to paydown debt. Further, the previously executed acquisition of the
1

land underlying 111 West 33rd Street and 1400 Broadway in the second quarter was used as a partial 1031 replacement asset for the disposition of 1359 Broadway.
•Since its second quarter earnings call through November 2, 2026, the Company acquired $85.8 million of its shares.
•Achieved the highest GRESB Management Score for All Companies in the Americas for the second consecutive year.

Capital Allocation
Subsequent to quarter-end, completed the disposition of 1359 Broadway for $217.5 million. Starting in late July, the Company began to redeploy the proceeds towards share repurchases and will also use proceeds to paydown debt. Further, the previously executed acquisition of the land underlying 111 West 33rd Street and 1400 Broadway in the second quarter was used as a partial 1031 replacement asset for the disposition of 1359 Broadway.

Since its second quarter earnings call through November 2, 2026, the Company acquired $85.8 million of its shares at a weighted average price of $4.56 per share. This brings aggregate share repurchases to approximately $387.7 million since March 2020.

Balance Sheet
The Company had $0.6 billion of total liquidity as of September 30, 2026, which was comprised of $85 million of cash, plus $520 million available under its revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2026, the Company had total debt outstanding of approximately $2.2 billion at a weighted average interest rate of 4.78%. At September 30, 2026, the Company’s ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 6.7x.

As previously announced, in the third quarter, the Company closed on a $245 million unsecured delayed draw term loan that matures in 2032. Term loan proceeds are expected to be drawn in January 2027 and used to repay existing debt. The Company has no unaddressed debt maturity until March 2029.


Dividend

On September 30, 2026, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.035 per share or unit, as applicable, for the third quarter of 2026 to holders of the Company’s Class A common stock (NYSE: ESRT) and Class B common stock and to holders of the Series ES, Series 250 and Series 60 partnership units (NYSE Arca: ESBA, FISK and OGCP, respectively) and Series PR partnership units of Empire State Realty OP, L.P., the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”).

2026 Core FFO

The table below presents a range of potential Core FFO per share outcomes based on key building blocks for the property business and the Observation Deck. These outcomes exclude the impact of any significant future lease termination fee income or unannounced acquisition, disposition or other capital markets activity. There is no change to the framework introduced in the second quarter of $55 Million of NOI for the Empire State Building’s Observation Deck.

The estimates set forth above may be subject to fluctuations as a result of several factors, including continued impacts of changes in the use of office space and remote work on our business and our market, performance of the Observation Deck (including tourism levels, currency and geopolitical impacts, weather and competition), our ability to complete planned capital improvements in line with budget, costs of integration of completed acquisitions, costs associated with future acquisitions or other transactions, straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above and below-market leases. There can be no assurance that the Company’s actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth above.

Supplemental Definitions
Funds From Operations
We compute Funds From Operations ("FFO") in accordance with the “White Paper” on FFO published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding impairment write-off of investments in depreciable real estate and investments in in-substance real estate investments, gains or losses from debt restructurings and sales of depreciable operating properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), less distributions to non-controlling interests and gains/losses from discontinued operations and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO is a widely recognized non-GAAP financial measure for REITs that we believe, when considered with financial statements determined in accordance with GAAP, is useful to investors in understanding financial performance and providing a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. In addition, we believe FFO is useful to investors as it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate has generally appreciated over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than do other depreciable assets. Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net income, when trying to understand an equity REIT’s operating performance. We present FFO because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe that it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results of operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of performance is limited. There can be no assurance that FFO presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP or to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. Although FFO is a measure used for comparability in assessing the performance of REITs, as the NAREIT White Paper only provides guidelines for computing FFO, the computation of FFO may vary from one company to another.
Modified Funds From Operations
Modified Funds From Operations ("Modified FFO") adds back an adjustment for any below-market ground lease amortization to traditionally defined FFO. We believe this is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating our operating performance due to the non-cash accounting treatment under GAAP, which stems from the third quarter 2014 acquisition of two option properties following our formation transactions as they carry significantly below market ground leases, the amortization of which is material to our overall results. We present Modified FFO because we believe it is an important supplemental measure of our operating performance in that it adds back the non-cash amortization of below-market ground leases. There can be no assurance that Modified FFO presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs. Modified FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP or to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Modified FFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions.
Core Funds From Operations
Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") adds back to Modified FFO the following items: loss on early extinguishment of debt, acquisition expenses, severance expenses, IPO litigation expense, goodwill impairment charge and interest expense associated with property in receivership. The Company believes Core FFO is an important supplemental measure of its operating performance because it excludes non-recurring items. There can be no assurance that Core FFO presented by the Company is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs. Core FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP or to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Core FFO is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. In future periods, we may also exclude other items from Core FFO that we believe may help investors compare our results.
Core Funds Available for Distribution
In addition to Core FFO, we present Core Funds Available for Distribution ("Core FAD") by (i) adding to Core FFO non-real estate depreciation and amortization, the amortization of deferred financing costs, amortization of debt discounts and non-cash compensation expenses, amortization of loss on interest rate derivative and (ii) deducting straight-line rent, amortization of debt premiums and above/below market rent revenue, and recurring capital improvements such as second generation leasing commissions, tenant improvements, prebuilts, capital expenditures and furniture, fixtures & equipment. Core FAD is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure that we believe provides useful information regarding our ability to fund our dividends. Core FAD does not represent cash generated from operating activities and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP or to cash flow from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP. Core FAD is not indicative of cash available to fund ongoing cash needs, including the ability to make cash distributions. There can be no assurance that Core FAD presented by us is comparable to similarly titled measures of other REITs.
Net Operating Income and Property Cash NOI
Net Operating Income ("NOI") is a non-GAAP financial measure of performance. NOI is used by our management to evaluate and compare the performance of our properties and to determine trends in earnings and to compute the fair value of our properties as it is not affected by: (i) the cost of funds of the property owner, (ii) the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses as well as gains or losses from the sale of operating real estate assets that are included in net income computed in accordance with GAAP, (iii) acquisition expenses, loss on early extinguishment of debt, impairment charges and loss from derivative financial instruments, or (iv) general and administrative expenses and other gains and losses that are specific to the property owner. The cost of funds is eliminated from NOI because it is specific to the particular financing capabilities and constraints of the owner and is dependent on historical interest rates and other costs of capital as well as past decisions made by us regarding the appropriate mix of capital which may have changed or may change in the future. Depreciation and amortization expenses as well as gains or losses from the sale of operating real estate assets are eliminated because they may not accurately represent the actual change in value in our office, retail or multifamily properties that result from use of the properties or changes in market conditions. While certain aspects of real property do decline in value over time in a manner that is reasonably captured by depreciation and amortization, the value of the properties as a whole have historically increased or decreased as a result of changes in overall economic conditions instead of from actual use of the property or the passage of time. Gains and losses from the sale of real property vary from property to property and are affected by market conditions at the time of sale which will usually change from period to period. These gains and losses can create distortions when comparing one period to another or when comparing our operating results to the operating results of other real estate companies that have not made similarly-timed purchases or sales. We believe that eliminating these costs from net income is useful to investors because the resulting measure captures the actual revenue generated and actual expenses incurred in operating our properties as well as trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. In some cases, the Company also presents (1) Property Cash NOI, which excludes Observatory NOI and the effects of straight-line rent, fair value lease revenue, and straight-line ground rent expense adjustment, and (2) Property Cash NOI excluding lease termination fees. Property Cash NOI is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure that management believes allows investors to compare NOI performance across periods without taking into account the effect of certain non-cash rental revenues and straight-line ground rent expense adjustment. Similar to depreciation and amortization expense, fair value lease revenues, because of historical cost accounting, may distort operating performance measures at the property level. Additionally, presenting NOI excluding the impact of straight-line rent and straight-line ground rent expense adjustment provides investors with an alternative view of operating performance at the property level that more closely reflects net cash generated in the portfolio. Presenting Property Cash NOI excluding lease termination fees provides investors with additional information that allows them to compare operating performance between periods without taking into account termination fees, which can distort the results for any given period because they generally represent multiple months or years of a tenant’s rental obligations that are paid in a lump sum in connection with a negotiated early termination of the tenant’s lease and are not reflective of the core ongoing operating performance of the Company’s portfolio. However, the usefulness of NOI, Property Cash NOI, and Property Cash NOI excluding lease termination fees is limited because it excludes general and administrative costs, interest expense, depreciation and amortization expense and gains or losses from the sale of properties, and other gains and losses as stipulated by GAAP, the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which are significant economic costs. NOI and Property Cash NOI may fail to capture significant trends in these components of net income which further limits its usefulness. NOI and Property Cash NOI are measurements of the operating performance of our properties but do not measure our performance as a whole. These metrics therefore are not substitutes for net income as computed in accordance with GAAP. These measures should be analyzed in conjunction with net income computed in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may use different methods for calculating NOI, Property Cash NOI or similarly titled measures and, accordingly, our measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies that do not define the measure exactly as we do.

Supplemental Definitions
Same Store
In the Company’s analysis of NOI, particularly to make comparisons of NOI between periods meaningful, it is important to provide information for properties that were owned by the Company throughout each period presented. The Company refers to properties acquired and/or stabilized prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented and owned by the Company through the end of the latest period presented as “Same Store”. Same Store therefore excludes properties that have not yet achieved stabilization, properties acquired and/or stabilized after the beginning of the earliest period presented and properties disposed of prior to the end of the latest period presented. Accordingly, it takes at least one year and one quarter after a property is acquired and/or achieves stabilization for that property to be included in Same Store. The Company’s definition of Same Store also excludes properties classified as held for sale and disposed of subsequent to quarter-end and properties placed in receivership. For mixed-use properties, all same store property NOI is represented in the property category that comprises the majority of that mixed-use property's NOI. As of September 30, 2026, Same Store excludes 86-90 North 6th Street, which was acquired in June 2025, 41-55 North 6th Street, which was acquired in March 2026, 130 Mercer, which was acquired in December 2025, Metro Center, Stamford, CT, which was disposed in December 2025, 250 West 57th Street, which was disposed in June 2026, and 1359 Broadway, which was classified as held for sale as of September 30, 2026. Prior period Same Store NOI has been adjusted to reflect properties added to or removed from Same Store in the current period as a result of the Company’s acquisition and disposition activity, as applicable.
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA
We compute EBITDA as net income plus interest expense, interest expense associated with property in receivership, income taxes and depreciation and amortization. We present EBITDA because we believe that EBITDA, along with cash flow from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, provides investors with an additional indicator of its ability to incur and service debt. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indication of its financial performance, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), or as a measure of its liquidity. For Adjusted EBITDA, we add back impairment charges, goodwill impairment charge and (gain) loss on disposition of property.
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA
We compute Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA as gross debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA, excluding the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA attributable to properties disposed of in the trailing twelve months, and including an implied annualized Adjusted EBITDA for properties acquired in the trailing twelve months that were financed, in whole or in part, with indebtedness, derived from its purchase price and asset value calculated in accordance with our credit facility agreement. The Company believes that the presentation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors because the Company reviews Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA as part of the management of its overall financial flexibility, capital structure and leverage based on its percentage ownership interest in all of its assets.

Notes:
(1) These forecasts, which are subject to change, are based on management's current expectations, including, among other things, discussions with and other information provided by tenants as well as management's analyses of past historical trends.
(2) Any lease on month-to-month or short-term will re-appear in "Actual" in each period until tenant has vacated or renewed, and thus it would be double counted if periods were cumulated. "Forecast" avoids double counting.
(3) Includes in-place leases at 130 Mercer Street which was acquired in December 2025 and was not yet stabilized at the end of the quarter. Excludes in-place leases at 1359 Broadway for forecast periods, as the property was disposed of subsequent to quarter-end.
(4) For forecasted periods, “Renewals & relocations” includes the following: tenants renew their existing leases in all or a portion of their current spaces; tenants which signed renewal leases for a term of less than six months and reappear in forecast periods in 2026 and 2027; and tenants who move within a building or within the Company's portfolio.
(5) For forecasted periods, “New Leases” represents leases that have been signed with a new tenant, a subtenant who signed a direct lease or a tenant who expanded. There may be downtime between the lease expiration and the new lease commencement.
(6) For forecasted periods, “Vacates” assumes a tenant elects not to renew at the end of their existing lease or exercises an early termination option; leases that the Company decides not to renew at the end of tenants' existing lease due to anticipated future redevelopment or for other reasons. This also may include early lease terminations.
(7) For forecasted periods, "Unknown" represents tenants whose intentions are unknown.
