Vesta FFO reached US$ 45.0 million for the first quarter 2025; an 11.4% increase compared to US$ 40.4 million in the first quarter 2024.
• Based on first quarter performance and the Company's current outlook, Vesta reaffirms its full year 2025 guidance as was provided within its fourth quarter 2024 earnings results press release: Vesta expects 2025 revenues to increase between 10.0-11.0% with a 94.5% Adjusted NOI margin and an 83.5% Adjusted EBITDA margin, while maintaining the Company´s solid performance across key operational metrics.
• First quarter 2025 leasing activity reached 1.4 million sf: 139 thousand sf in new contracts, with three new Vesta tenants, and 1.3 million sf in lease renewals. Vesta’s first quarter 2025 total portfolio occupancy therefore reached 92.8%, while stabilized and same-store occupancy reached 95.3% and 97.4%, respectively.

• During the first quarter, the Company acquired 18.7 acres of land in Mexico City representing 367 thousand sf in GLA. In April 2025, subsequent to the quarter´s end, Vesta acquired 20.2 acres of land in Monterrey representing 449 thousand sf in buildable area for future construction. Both land acquisitions represent highly desirable urban infill locations which address critical last-mile logistics and e-commerce demand. These acquisitions represent another important milestone for the Company, further expanding its strategic land bank, aligned with Vesta's Route 2030 plan.
• Vesta ended the first quarter 2025 with 1.9 million sf in current construction in progress; an estimated investment of approximately US$ 142.6 million with a projected yield on cost of 10.6%, in markets including Mexico City, Querétaro and Monterrey.

• Also at its March 19, 2025 General Shareholders' Meeting, Vesta shareholders approved a US$ 69.5 million dividend for 2025, representing a 7.5% year over year dividend increase.

This increase is due to higher income for the first quarter 2025.

• First quarter 2025 total comprehensive income was US$ 12.3 million, versus a US$ 124.0 million gain in the first quarter 2024, primarily due to lower other expenses during the first quarter 2024.
