Empire State Realty Trust delivered Q1 2026 Core FFO of $0.20 per diluted share and kept its full-year Core FFO outlook at $0.85–$0.89. Same-store property cash NOI excluding lease termination fees increased 5.5%, or 1.3% after non-recurring items, showing steady property-level performance.

The commercial portfolio was 93.2% leased and 88.2% occupied, with office leasing spreads positive for a 19th consecutive quarter. Observatory NOI of $10.6M declined year-over-year, while Q1 visitors fell 18.2%, highlighting sensitivity to tourism and seasonality. Management still guides Observatory NOI to $87M–$92M for 2026.

Funds From Operations financial
"We compute Funds From Operations ("FFO") in accordance with the “White Paper” on FFO published by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts"
Funds from operations (FFO) measures the cash a real estate-focused company generates from its core property operations by adjusting net income to add back non-cash expenses like building depreciation and removing one-time gains or losses from property sales. Investors use FFO like a household’s monthly take-home pay—it's a clearer view of ongoing cash available to pay dividends, maintain properties and fund growth than raw accounting profit.
Core Funds From Operations financial
"Core Funds From Operations ("Core FFO") adds back to Modified FFO the following items: loss on early extinguishment of debt, acquisition expenses, severance expenses"
Core funds from operations is a measure of the recurring cash a real estate company generates from its normal rental and property-management activities, calculated by starting with net income, adding back non-cash items like property depreciation, and removing one-off gains or losses such as property sales or unusual expenses. Investors use it like a household’s steady paycheck estimate—it shows the business’s sustainable cash flow for paying dividends, servicing debt, and funding operations, without noise from one-time events.
Net Operating Income financial
"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"
Net operating income is the profit a business makes from its core operations after subtracting the costs directly related to running those operations, but before accounting for taxes, interest, or other expenses. It shows how efficiently a company is generating income from its main activities. Investors use this figure to assess the company's operational performance and profitability.
Same Store financial
"The Company refers to properties acquired 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 describes sales or revenue measured only at locations or outlets that have been open for a specified prior period, excluding new openings and closed units so performance is compared on an “apples-to-apples” basis. Investors use same-store figures to see whether existing operations are growing or shrinking on their own, like checking whether a long-standing shop is selling more or fewer items this year without the distortion of added or removed stores.
Adjusted EBITDA financial
"For Adjusted EBITDA, we add back impairment charges and (gain) loss on disposition of property"
Adjusted EBITDA is a way companies measure how much money they make from their core operations, like running a business, by removing certain costs or income that aren’t part of regular business activities. It helps investors see how well a company is doing without distractions from unusual expenses or gains, making it easier to compare companies or track performance over time.
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA financial
"We compute Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA as gross debt less cash and cash equivalents divided by the trailing twelve months Adjusted EBITDA"
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.
Total revenues $190.3M
Net income $2.995M
Net income per diluted share $0.01
Core FFO per diluted share $0.20
Same-store cash NOI growth 5.5% +5.5% YoY excluding lease termination fees
Observatory NOI $10.642M ~$3.5M lower year-over-year
Commercial leased/occupied 93.2% leased / 88.2% occupied
Guidance

2026 Core FFO per fully diluted share guidance remains $0.85–$0.89; net income per share guidance is $0.19–$0.23; commercial occupancy targeted at 90–92% year-end; Observatory NOI expected at $87M–$92M.

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 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 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 acquired after the beginning of the earliest period presented or 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 for that property to be included in Same Store. The Company’s definition of Same Store also excludes properties held-for-sale or those which we otherwise expect to dispose of in the subsequent quarter 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 March 31, 2026, Same Store excludes 86-90 North Sixth Street,



which was acquired in June 2025, 41-55 North Sixth Street, which was acquired in March 2026, 130 Mercer, SoHo, NY, which was acquired in December 2025 and Metro Center, Stamford, CT, which was disposed in December 2025. 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 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").

EMPIRE STATE REALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES FIRST QUARTER 2026 RESULTS

– Net Income Per Fully Diluted Share of $0.01 –
– Core FFO Per Fully Diluted Share of $0.20
– Acquired Prime Retail Asset in Williamsburg for $46M with Recycled Investment Capacity –
– Completed $184M of Financings that Extend Debt Maturities –
– 2026 Outlook Unchanged –

New York, New York, April 29, 2026 – Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ESRT) is a NYC-focused REIT that owns and operates a portfolio of well-leased, top of tier, modernized, amenitized, and well-located office, retail, and multifamily assets. ESRT’s flagship Empire State Building, the “World's Most Famous Building,” features its iconic Observatory. The Company is a recognized leader in energy efficiency and indoor environmental quality. Today the Company reported its operational and financial results for the first quarter of 2026. All per share amounts are on a fully diluted basis, where applicable.


First Quarter and Recent Highlights
Net Income of $0.01 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 5.5% year-over-year. The first quarter change was primarily attributed to increases in base rent and tenant reimbursement income, as well as approximately $3.0 million of first quarter 2026 non-recurring items, which predominately consisted of lease modification revenue and net insurance recoveries. These increases to cash NOI were partially offset by operating expense increases. Adjusted for the previously noted non-recurring items, Same-Store Property Cash NOI increased by 1.3%.
The total commercial portfolio was 93.2% leased and 88.2% occupied as of March 31, 2026, with occupancy reduced by approximately 140 basis points due to temporary downtime related to the previously disclosed FDIC expiration, which is fully re-leased.
Signed 113,484 rentable square feet of commercial leases, inclusive of 90,687 rentable square feet of office leases, in the first quarter.
In the office portfolio, blended leasing spreads were +6.8% in the first quarter, the 19th consecutive quarter of positive leasing spreads.
Empire State Building Observatory generated NOI of $10.6 million in the seasonally light first quarter, which represents a year-over-year decline of approximately $3.5 million, excluding gift shop license revenue. As previously announced, gift shop license fees are expected to be more

Closed on a $53.5 million mortgage refinancing for 10 Union Square East, as previously announced.
In mid-April, announced the issuance of $130 million of 6-year senior unsecured notes in a private placement transaction. The Company now has no unaddressed debt maturity until January 2028.

Balance Sheet
The Company had $0.6 billion of total liquidity as of March 31, 2026, which was comprised of $69 million of cash, plus $530 million available under its revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2026, the Company had total debt outstanding of approximately $2.3 billion at a weighted average interest rate of 4.54%. At March 31, 2026, the Company’s ratio of net debt to adjusted EBITDA was 6.3x.

The Company closed on a $53.5 million mortgage refinancing for 10 Union Square East, as previously announced. The 10-year interest-only loan carries a fixed interest rate of 5.3% and replaces a $50.0 million loan that matured on April 1, 2026. In mid-April, the Company entered into a note purchase agreement to issue $130 million of senior unsecured notes in a private placement transaction at a fixed rate of 5.99% that matures in 2032. The private placement is scheduled to fund on July 15, 2026.

Portfolio Transaction Activity

The Company acquired a newly constructed, prime retail asset located at 41-55 North 6th Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn for $46.0 million at the end of the first quarter, as previously announced. The approximately 22,000 square foot property, currently vacant, is located between Kent and Wythe Avenues and in close proximity to the Company’s existing 102,000 square foot portfolio of prime retail assets along North 6th Street. The property adds eight new storefronts to the Company's already dominant position along the corridor. This acquisition, together with the Company’s purchase of 86-90 North 6th Street in mid-2025, completed the redeployment of investment capacity from the December 2025 disposition of Metro Center, its last suburban commercial asset, without a recognition of a taxable gain. These transactions were part of the Company’s strategy to recycle capital from non-core suburban assets into high-quality NYC assets with stronger long-term cash flow growth prospects.

Dividend

On March 31, 2026, the Company paid a quarterly dividend of $0.035 per share or unit, as applicable, for the first 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”).

On March 31, 2026, the Company paid a quarterly preferred dividend of $0.15 and $0.175 per unit for the first quarter of 2026 to holders of the Operating Partnership’s Series 2014 and 2019 private perpetual preferred units, respectively.

2026 Earnings Outlook

The Company provides 2026 guidance and key assumptions, as summarized in the table below. The Company’s guidance does not include the impact of any significant future lease termination fee income or any unannounced acquisition, disposition or other capital markets activity.

First Quarter 2026
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 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 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 acquired after the beginning of the earliest period presented or 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 for that property to be included in Same Store. The Company’s definition of Same Store also excludes properties held-for-sale or those which we otherwise expect to dispose of in the subsequent quarter 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 March 31, 2026, Same Store excludes 86-90 North Sixth Street, which was acquired in June 2025, 41-55 North Sixth Street, which was acquired in March 2026, 130 Mercer, SoHo, NY, which was acquired in December 2025 and Metro Center, Stamford, CT, which was disposed in December 2025. 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 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 will be redeveloped.
(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 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.
