NEW YORK, NY, July 31, 2024 - Urban Edge Properties (NYSE: UE) (the "Company") today announced its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2024 and raised the low end of its FFO as Adjusted guidance for the full-year.

In addition, we continue to pursue exciting external growth opportunities, with a focus on acquiring attractive shopping centers that further expand our presence in our core markets between Washington, D.C. and Boston. We remain focused on executing our strategic plan to grow earnings and cash flow while continuing to simplify our business."

Acquisition and Disposition Activity
On April 5, 2024, the Company closed on the $83 million acquisition of Ledgewood Commons, a 448,000 sf grocery anchored shopping center located in Roxbury Township, NJ. The initial capitalization rate on the transaction was 7.9% with an expected first-year cash yield in excess of 10%.
On April 26, 2024, the Company closed on the sale of its 127,000 sf industrial property located in Lodi, NJ for a price of $29.2 million, representing a 5.4% capitalization rate. This transaction was structured as part of a Section 1031 exchange, allowing for the deferral of capital gains resulting from the sale for income tax purposes. As a result of this transaction, the Company recognized a $13.1 million gain on sale of real estate.
The Company is in advanced negotiations to acquire several shopping centers in our core markets between Washington, D.C. and Boston.

Financing Activity
On April 3, 2024, the Company borrowed $60 million on its unsecured $800 million line of credit to partially finance the acquisition of Ledgewood Commons discussed above. During the quarter, the Company repaid $63 million of the outstanding balance on its line of credit using proceeds from the sale of its property in Lodi, NJ and proceeds from a $50 million, 5-year mortgage on Ledgewood Commons bearing interest at a fixed rate of 6.03%, reducing the balance outstanding as of June 30, 2024 to $150 million. Subsequent to the quarter, the Company repaid an additional $45 million on the outstanding balance primarily from proceeds generated from equity issuances under its ATM program.
On June 27, 2024, the property foreclosure process was completed for Kingswood Center, located in Brooklyn, NY. In connection with the foreclosure settlement, the lender took possession of the property and the Company recognized a $21.7 million gain on debt extinguishment, eliminating a $68.6 million mortgage liability that was due to mature in February 2028.
During the quarter ended June 30, 2024, the Company issued 1,607,353 common shares at a weighted average price of $18.21 per share under its ATM Program, generating net cash proceeds of $28.9 million. Subsequent to the quarter, the Company issued an additional 891,643 common shares at a weighted average price of $18.23 per share, generating net cash proceeds of $16.0 million.
The Company has limited debt maturities coming due through December 31, 2026 of $188.3 million in the aggregate, which represents approximately 11% of outstanding debt.

Leasing, Development and Redevelopment
During the quarter, the Company executed 166,000 sf of new leases, including leases with BJ's Wholesale Club, Chipotle, Bank of America, and First Watch.
In June, the Company executed a new 112,000 sf lease with BJ's Wholesale Club at Bruckner Commons to take over a portion of the former Kmart space and entered into a lease termination agreement with Target at the same property. The Target termination agreement releases Target from its obligations under the previously-executed 10-year, 139,000 sf lease, providing the Company the opportunity to enter into the new 20-year lease with BJ's at a comparable project yield.
The Company commenced two redevelopment projects with estimated aggregate costs of $5.1 million during the quarter and now has $170.1 million of active redevelopment projects underway, with estimated remaining costs to complete of $109.2 million. The active redevelopment projects are expected to generate an approximate 15% yield. The Company also stabilized one project aggregating $13.3 million with the rent commencement of Prime Urgent Care in June 2024, completing the second phase of its Huntington Commons center redevelopment.
As of June 30, 2024, the Company had signed leases that have not yet rent commenced that are expected to generate an additional $28.6 million of future annual gross rent, representing approximately 11% of current annualized NOI. Approximately $2.8 million of this amount is expected to be recognized in the remainder of 2024.

The Company is providing a projection of anticipated net income solely to satisfy the disclosure requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). The Company's projections are based on management's current beliefs and assumptions about the Company's business, and the industry and the markets in which it operates; there are known and unknown risks and uncertainties associated with these projections. There can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ from the guidance set forth above. The Company assumes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, including its 2024 earnings guidance, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Please refer to the "Forward-Looking Statements" disclosures on page 8 of this document and "Risk Factors" disclosed in the Company's annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC for more information.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company uses certain non-GAAP performance measures, in addition to the primary GAAP presentations, as we believe these measures improve the understanding of the Company's operational results. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the investing public, and thus such reported measures are subject to change. The Company's non-GAAP performance measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations, and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental financial results. Additionally, the Company's computation of non-GAAP metrics may not be comparable to similarly titled non-GAAP metrics reported by other real estate investment trusts ("REITs") or real estate companies that define these metrics differently and, as a result, it is important to understand the manner in which the Company defines and calculates each of its non-GAAP metrics. The following non-GAAP measures are commonly used by the Company and investing public to understand and evaluate our operating results and performance:
•FFO: The Company believes FFO is a useful, supplemental measure of its operating performance that is a recognized metric used extensively by the real estate industry and, in particular REITs. FFO, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") and the Company, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable real estate and land when connected to the main business of a REIT, impairments on depreciable real estate or land related to a REIT's main business, earnings from consolidated partially owned entities and rental property depreciation and amortization expense. The Company believes that financial analysts, investors and shareholders are better served by the presentation of comparable period operating results generated from FFO primarily because it excludes the assumption that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, and is not indicative of cash flow as a measure of liquidity or our ability to make cash distributions.
•FFO as Adjusted: The Company provides disclosure of FFO as Adjusted because it believes it is a useful supplemental measure of its core operating performance that facilitates comparability of historical financial periods. FFO as Adjusted is calculated by making certain adjustments to FFO to account for items the Company does not believe are representative of ongoing core operating results, including non-comparable revenues and expenses. The Company's method of calculating FFO as Adjusted may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
5

•NOI: The Company uses NOI internally to make investment and capital allocation decisions and to compare the unlevered performance of our properties to our peers. The Company believes NOI is useful to investors as a performance measure because, when compared across periods, NOI reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs and acquisition and disposition activity on an unleveraged basis, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company calculates NOI using net income as defined by GAAP reflecting only those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level, adjusted for non-cash rental income and expense, impairments on depreciable real estate or land, and income or expenses that we do not believe are representative of ongoing operating results, if any. In addition, the Company uses NOI margin, calculated as NOI divided by total property revenue, which the Company believes is useful to investors for similar reasons.
•Same-property NOI: The Company provides disclosure of NOI on a same-property basis, which includes the results of properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared, which total 66 properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Information provided on a same-property basis excludes properties under development, redevelopment or that involve anchor repositioning where a substantial portion of the gross leasable area ("GLA") is taken out of service and also excludes properties acquired, sold, or that are in the foreclosure process during the periods being compared. As such, same-property NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the development, redevelopment, acquisition, disposition, or foreclosure of properties during the periods presented, and thus provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of the operating performance of the Company's properties. While there is judgment surrounding changes in designations, a property is removed from the same-property pool when it is designated as a redevelopment property because it is undergoing significant renovation or retenanting pursuant to a formal plan that is expected to have a significant impact on its operating income. A development or redevelopment property is moved back to the same-property pool once a substantial portion of the NOI growth expected from the development or redevelopment is reflected in both the current and comparable prior year period, generally one year after at least 80% of the expected NOI from the project is realized on a cash basis. Acquisitions are moved into the same-property pool once we have owned the property for the entirety of the comparable periods and the property is not under significant development or redevelopment. The Company has also provided disclosure of NOI on a same-property basis adjusted to include redevelopment properties. Same-property NOI may include other adjustments as detailed in the Reconciliation of Net Income to NOI and same-property NOI included in the tables accompanying this press release. We also present this metric excluding the collection of amounts previously deemed uncollectible.
•EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre: EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are supplemental, non-GAAP measures utilized by us in various financial ratios. The White Paper on EBITDAre, approved by Nareit's Board of Governors in September 2017, defines EBITDAre as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), adjusted for interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization, losses and gains on the disposition of depreciated property, impairment write-downs of depreciated property and investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, and adjustments to reflect the entity's share of EBITDAre of unconsolidated joint ventures. EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre are presented to assist investors in the evaluation of REITs, as a measure of the Company's operational performance as they exclude various items that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance and because they approximate key performance measures in our debt covenants. Accordingly, the Company believes that the use of EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, as opposed to income before income taxes, in various ratios provides meaningful performance measures related to the Company's ability to meet various coverage tests for the stated periods. Adjusted EBITDAre may include other adjustments not indicative of operating results as detailed in the Reconciliation of Net Income to EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre included in the tables accompanying this press release.The Company also presents the ratio of net debt (net of cash) to annualized Adjusted EBITDAre as of June 30, 2024, and net debt (net of cash) to total market capitalization, which it believes is useful to investors as a supplemental measure in evaluating the Company's balance sheet leverage. The presentation of EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre is consistent with EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as presented in prior periods.
The Company believes net income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to the non-GAAP performance measures outlined above. Reconciliations of these measures to net income have been provided in the tables accompanying this press release.

Operating Metrics
The Company presents certain operating metrics related to our properties, including occupancy, leasing activity and rental rates. Operating metrics are used by the Company and are useful to investors in facilitating an understanding of the operational performance for our properties.
Occupancy metrics represent the percentage of occupied gross leasable area based on executed leases (including properties in development and redevelopment) and include leases signed, but for which rent has not yet commenced. Same-property portfolio leased occupancy includes properties that have been owned and operated for the entirety of the reporting periods being compared, which total 66 properties for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.Occupancy metrics presented for the Company's same-property portfolio exclude properties under development, redevelopment or that involve anchor repositioning where a substantial portion of the gross leasable area is taken out of service and also excludes properties acquired within the past 12 months or properties sold, and properties that are in the foreclosure process during the periods being compared.
Executed new leases, renewals and exercised options are presented on a same-space basis. Same-space leases represent those leases signed on spaces for which there was a previous lease.
The Company occasionally provides disclosures by tenant categories which include anchors, shops and industrial/self-storage. Anchors and shops are further broken down by local, regional and national tenants. We define anchor tenants as those who have a leased area of >10,000 sf. Local tenants are defined as those with less than five locations. Regional tenants are those with five or more locations in a single region. National tenants are defined as those with five or more locations and operate in two or more regions.

(2) During the six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized an impairment charge reducing the carrying value of Kingswood Center, an office and retail property located in Brooklyn, NY.
(3) In April 2023, the Company notified the lender of its mortgage secured by Kingswood Center that the cash flows generated by the property are insufficient to cover the debt service and that the Company is unwilling to fund future shortfalls. As such, the Company defaulted on the loan and adjusted for the default interest incurred for the second quarter of 2023. The Company determined it is appropriate to exclude the operating results of Kingswood Center from FFO as Adjusted as the property was in the foreclosure process. In June of 2024, the foreclosure process was completed and the lender took possession of the property.
(4) Includes the acceleration and write-off of lease intangibles related to tenant terminations, bankruptcies, and write-offs and reinstatements of receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents for tenants moved to and from the cash basis of accounting.
(5) The gain on extinguishment of debt for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 relates to the mortgage debt forgiven in the foreclosure settlement of Kingswood Center.
