Easterly Government Properties, Inc. reported its financial results for the second quarter and first half of 2026, showing a total revenue of $92.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2026, an increase of 9.7% from $84.2 million in the same period last year. For the first half of 2026, total revenues reached $184.0 million, up 12.9% from $162.9 million in the first half of 2025. The growth in rental income, which rose by $9.3 million to $89.7 million in the second quarter and by $22.3 million to $178.3 million in the first half, was primarily driven by the acquisition of four operating properties and one development property since June 2025.
Despite the revenue growth, the company reported a net income of $3.2 million for the second quarter, down from $4.3 million a year earlier, and $4.6 million for the first half, compared to $7.5 million in the same period of 2025. The decline in net income was attributed to increased expenses, which rose by $7.6 million to $70.4 million in the second quarter and by $20.4 million to $142.1 million in the first half. Key contributors to the expense increase included higher property operating costs, real estate taxes, and depreciation and amortization related to the newly acquired properties.
In terms of strategic developments, Easterly Government Properties completed the acquisition of a three-building portfolio in Glen Allen, Virginia, for $44.6 million during the first half of 2026. This acquisition is expected to enhance the company's portfolio, which as of June 30, 2026, consisted of 96 wholly owned operating properties and ten properties through an unconsolidated joint venture, totaling approximately 10.7 million leased square feet. The company reported that its properties were 98% leased, reflecting strong demand for its government-leased assets.
Operationally, the company has seen a significant increase in tenant accounts receivable, which rose to $70.6 million from $51.5 million at the end of 2025. This increase is indicative of the company's ongoing projects and tenant activity. Additionally, Easterly Government Properties has maintained a strong liquidity position, with $3.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and $10.4 million in restricted cash as of June 30, 2026. The company also has approximately $356.8 million available under its revolving credit facility, providing flexibility for future investments and operational needs.
Looking ahead, Easterly Government Properties remains focused on expanding its portfolio of properties leased to U.S. government agencies, which account for over 85% of its revenue. The company anticipates continued growth in rental income driven by its strategic acquisitions and development projects. However, management has acknowledged potential risks, including reliance on government spending and market conditions, which could impact future performance. The company plans to maintain its dividend policy, distributing at least 90% of its taxable income to qualify as a REIT, with dividends declared at $0.45 per share for the second quarter of 2026.
