About EastGroup Properties, Inc.
About EastGroup Properties, Inc.
EastGroup Properties owned 550 industrial properties across 12 states, comprising approximately 65 million square feet, with the operating portfolio 97.0% leased at December 31, 2025. The Sun Belt-focused strategy concentrates holdings near major transportation corridors in Texas, Florida, California, Arizona, and North Carolina — EastGroup's five core markets. No single tenant accounted for more than approximately 1.5% of annualized base rent, and Moody's affirmed its Baa2 issuer rating in May 2025, revising the outlook to positive.
EastGroup earns revenue through multi-year operating leases on industrial properties, most of which require tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses including real estate taxes, insurance, and common area maintenance — a structure the company characterizes as mitigating exposure to inflationary cost increases. The development and acquisition program is funded through $675 million in unsecured bank credit facilities, with long-term financing intended to be primarily fixed-rate unsecured debt. During 2025 the company acquired 739,000 square feet of operating properties and 300.4 acres of development land for $261,683,000, and transferred 11 completed projects containing 2,109,000 square feet into its operating portfolio. Development projects in lease-up were 18.8% leased at year-end, representing the primary lease-up exposure on the active pipeline.

Geographic concentration in Houston (9.5% of annualized base rent) and Dallas (10.9%) represents the most specific sub-market risk the 10-K quantifies, and the filing notes a downturn in those markets could have a particularly strong adverse effect. Separately, the company is exclusively concentrated in the industrial distribution sector, which could expose it to economic downturns in that sector to a greater extent than if its activities included other real estate segments. Tariff-driven materials inflation and potential building moratoriums could further compress development yields on active projects.
