- Acquired at a Weighted Average Capitalization Rate of 7.8% -
- Raised $14 Million from ATM Program & OP Units to Fund Acquisitions -
- Collected 100% of Contractual Rents -
Cedarhurst, New York, May 7, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Postal Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: PSTL) (the “Company”), an internally managed real estate investment trust that owns and manages over 1,900 properties leased primarily to the United States Postal Service (the “USPS”), ranging from last-mile post offices to industrial facilities, today announced results for the quarter ended March 31, 2024.

Highlights for the Quarter Ended March 31, 2024

•Acquired 29 USPS properties for approximately $18.5 million, excluding closing costs, at a weighted average capitalization rate of 7.8%
•14% growth in revenues from first quarter 2023 to first quarter 2024
•Net income attributable to common shareholders of $0.2 million, or $(0.01) per diluted share
•Funds from Operations ("FFO") of $5.5 million, or $0.20 per diluted share
•Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO") of $6.9 million, or $0.25 per diluted share
•Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.24 per share

"I am pleased with our Company's performance in the first quarter of 2024 as our success in 2023 continued into the current year," stated Andrew Spodek, Chief Executive Officer. "While transaction volumes continue to be lighter in 2024, we added 29 new properties to our portfolio during the quarter for $18.5 million at a weighted average capitalization rate of 7.8%. This puts us on track to achieve our full year acquisition guidance of $80 million at or above a 7.5% weighted average capitalization rate. With no near-term debt maturities and plenty of available liquidity, we are in a strong financial position to continue expanding our portfolio. Our focus remains on organic growth, accretive acquisitions and developing and maintaining relationships with postal owners and our tenant, the USPS.”

Property Portfolio & Acquisitions

The Company’s owned portfolio was 99.6% occupied, comprised of 1,537 properties across 49 states and one territory with approximately 6.0 million net leasable interior square feet and a weighted average rental rate of $9.47 per leasable square foot based on rents in place as of March 31, 2024. The weighted average rental rate consisted of $11.60 per leasable square foot on last-mile and flex properties, and $3.57 on industrial properties.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Information
2



An explanation of certain non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release, including, FFO, AFFO and net debt, as well as reconciliations of those non-GAAP financial measures, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, is included below.

The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the current National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) definition. NAREIT currently defines FFO as follows: net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by an entity. Other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company does and therefore the Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs.

The Company calculates AFFO by starting with FFO and adjusting for recurring capital expenditures (defined as all capital expenditures and leasing costs that are recurring in nature, excluding expenditures that (i) are for items identified or existing at the time a property was acquired or contributed (including through the Company’s formation transactions), (ii) are part of a strategic plan intended to increase the value or revenue-generating ability of a property, (iii) are for replacements of roof or parking lots, (iv) are considered infrequent or extraordinary in nature, or (v) for casualty damage), acquisition-related expenses (defined as expenses that are incurred for investment purposes and business acquisitions and do not correlate with the ongoing operations of the Company’s existing portfolio, including due diligence costs for acquisitions not consummated and certain professional fees incurred that were directly related to completed acquisitions or dispositions and integration of acquired business) that are not capitalized, and certain other non-recurring expenses and then adding back non-cash items including: write-off and amortization of deferred financing fees, straight-line rent and other adjustments (including lump sum catch up amounts for increased rents, net of any lease incentives), fair value lease adjustments, income on insurance recoveries from casualties, non-real estate depreciation and amortization and non-cash components of compensation expense. AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative to net income calculated in accordance with GAAP as a measurement of the Company’s operating performance. The Company believes that AFFO is widely used by other REITs and is helpful to investors as a meaningful additional measure of the Company’s ability to make capital investments. Other REITs may not define AFFO in the same manner as the Company does and therefore the Company’s calculation of AFFO may not be comparable to such other REITs.

The Company calculates its net debt as total debt less cash and property-related reserves. Net debt as of March 31, 2024 is calculated as total debt of approximately $249 million less cash and property-related reserves of approximately $3 million.

These metrics are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of the Company’s operating performance to net income. Management believes that accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values have

historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. As a result, the Company believes that the additive use of FFO and AFFO, together with the required GAAP presentation, is widely-used by the Company’s competitors and other REITs and provides a more complete understanding of the Company’s performance and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make investment decisions.
