Organization

JBG SMITH Properties ("JBG SMITH"), a Maryland real estate investment trust ("REIT"), owns, operates, invests in and develops mixed-use properties in high growth and high barrier-to-entry submarkets in and around Washington, D.C., most notably National Landing. Through an intense focus on placemaking, JBG SMITH cultivates vibrant, amenity-rich, walkable neighborhoods throughout the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area. Approximately 75.0% of our holdings are in the National Landing submarket in Northern Virginia, which is anchored by four key demand drivers: Amazon.com, Inc.'s ("Amazon") new headquarters; Virginia Tech's under-construction $1 billion Innovation Campus; the submarket’s proximity to the Pentagon; and our deployment of 5G digital infrastructure. In addition, our third-party asset management and real estate services business provides fee-based real estate services to the legacy funds formerly organized by The JBG Companies ("JBG") (the "JBG Legacy Funds") and other third parties.

Substantially all our assets are held by, and our operations are conducted through, JBG SMITH Properties LP ("JBG SMITH LP"), our operating partnership. As of March 31, 2024, JBG SMITH, as its sole general partner, controlled JBG SMITH LP and owned 87.6% of its OP Units, after giving effect to the conversion of certain vested long-term incentive partnership units ("LTIP Units") that are convertible into OP Units. JBG SMITH is referred to herein as "we," "us," "our" or other similar terms. References to "our share" refer to our ownership percentage of consolidated and unconsolidated assets in real estate ventures, but exclude our: (i) 10.0% subordinated interest in one commercial building, (ii) 33.5% subordinated interest in four commercial buildings (the "Fortress Assets"), (iii) 49.0% interest in three commercial buildings (the "L'Enfant Plaza Assets") and (iv) 9.9% interest in The Foundry, as well as the associated non-recourse mortgage loans, held through unconsolidated real estate ventures; these interests and debt are excluded because our investment in each real estate venture is zero, we do not anticipate receiving any near-term cash flow distributions from the real estate ventures, and we have not guaranteed their obligations or otherwise committed to providing financial support.

We were organized for the purpose of receiving, via the spin-off on July 17, 2017 (the "Separation"), substantially all of the assets and liabilities of Vornado Realty Trust's ("Vornado") Washington, D.C. segment. On July 18, 2017, we acquired the management business, and certain assets and liabilities of JBG (the "Combination"). The Separation and the Combination are collectively referred to as the "Formation Transaction."

As of March 31, 2024, our Operating Portfolio consisted of 41 operating assets comprising 15 multifamily assets totaling 6,318 units (6,318 units at our share), 24 commercial assets totaling 7.5 million square feet (7.2 million square feet at our share) and two wholly owned land assets for which we are the ground lessor. Additionally, we have two under-construction multifamily assets totaling 1,583 units (1,583 units at our share) and 18 assets in the development pipeline totaling 11.3 million square feet (9.3 million square feet at our share) of estimated potential development density.

We derive our revenue primarily from leases with multifamily and commercial tenants, which include fixed and percentage rents, and reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses such as real estate taxes, property operating expenses, and repairs and maintenance. In addition, our third-party asset management and real estate services business provides fee-based real estate services.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions of Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not contain certain information required in annual financial statements and notes as required under GAAP. In our opinion, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included, and all such adjustments

are of a normal recurring nature. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on February 20, 2024 ("Annual Report").

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities ("VIEs"), including JBG SMITH LP. See Note 5 for additional information. The portions of the equity and net income (loss) of consolidated entities that are not attributable to us are presented separately as amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

References to our financial statements refer to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. References to our balance sheets refer to our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. References to our statements of operations refer to our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. References to our statements of comprehensive income (loss) refer to our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). Under those sections, a REIT which distributes at least 90% of its REIT taxable income as dividends to its shareholders each year and which meets certain other conditions will not be taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. We currently adhere and intend to continue to adhere to these requirements and to maintain our REIT status in future periods. We also participate in the activities conducted by our subsidiary entities that have elected to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries under the Code. As such, we are subject to federal, state and local taxes on the income from those activities.
