Real Estate Properties REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES
EastGroup has one reportable segment – industrial properties, consistent with the Company’s manner of internal reporting, measurement of operating results and allocation of the Company’s resources. The Company's properties are primarily in the 20,000 to 100,000 square foot range. The majority of the Company’s leases are triple net leases, in which the tenant is responsible for their pro rata share of operating expenses during the lease term, including real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is the Chief Executive Officer, who uses Net income as the primary measure of operating results in making decisions. Net income is computed in accordance with GAAP. Net income is used to evaluate the performance of the Company’s investments in real estate assets and its operating results and to allocate resources in acquiring or developing industrial properties. The following income and significant expense categories are regularly provided to the Company’s CODM as components of Net income, which are presented on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income: Income from real estate operations, Expenses from real estate operations, General and administrative and Interest expense.
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  Recoverability of assets to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows (including estimated future expenditures necessary to substantially complete the asset) expected to be generated by the asset.  If the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its estimated future cash flows, an impairment charge is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair value of the asset.  During the six month periods ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not identify any impairment charges which should be recorded.

Depreciation of buildings and other improvements is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of generally 40 years for buildings and 3 to 15 years for improvements.  Building improvements are capitalized, while maintenance and repair expenses are charged to expense as incurred.  Significant renovations and improvements that improve or extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized.  Depreciation expense was $43,093,000 and $85,401,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, and $37,646,000 and $74,851,000 for the same periods in 2024.
