A description of funds from operations, or FFO, and Core FFO, both non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles in the United States) financial measures, are located at the end of this press release. All per share references are to fully-diluted weighted average shares of common stock and Non-controlling OP Units, unless otherwise noted. For further detail, please also refer to both the quarterly financial supplement and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, which can be retrieved from the Investors section of our website at www.gladstonecommercial.com.

Summary Information (dollars in thousands, except share and per share data):

(1) Includes one property classified as held for sale of $12.0 million and 161,458 square feet.
(2) Includes one property and a portion of a land parcel classified as held for sale of $12.2 million and 161,458 square feet, in the aggregate.

First Quarter Activity:

• Collected 100% of cash rents: Collected 100% of cash rents due during January, February, and March;

• Sold properties: Sold a portion of a land parcel for $2.0 million;

• Completed leasing activity: Leased or renewed 805,622 square feet with remaining lease terms ranging from 0.7 years to 6.0 years at five of our properties;

• Repaid debt: Repaid $1.5 million in fixed rate mortgage debt at a weighted average interest rate of 6.58%;

• Extended mortgage debt maturity date: Extended the maturity date of $7.8 million swapped to fixed rate mortgage debt with an interest rate of 3.78% for an additional year; and

• Paid distributions: Paid monthly cash distributions for the quarter totaling $0.30 per share on our common stock and Non-controlling OP Units, $0.414063 per share on our Series E Preferred Stock, $0.375 per share on our Series F Preferred Stock, $0.375 per share on our Series G Preferred Stock, and $0.2625 per share on our senior common stock.

First Quarter 2026 Results: Core FFO available to common shareholders and Non-controlling OP Unitholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $17.0 million, a 4.7% decrease when compared to the three months ended December 31, 2025, equaling $0.35 per share. Core FFO decreased primarily due to a lease termination fee and proceeds from an easement settlement recognized in the prior period, partially offset by a lower net incentive fee in the current period and a decrease in interest expense from deferred financing fees written off in the prior period as part of the credit facility recast.

Net income available to common stockholders and Non-controlling OP Unitholders for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was $3.8 million, or $0.08 per share, compared to net income available to common stockholders and Non-controlling OP Unitholders for the three months ended December 31, 2025 of $2.2 million, or $0.05 per share. In the Summary Information table above, we provide a reconciliation of Core FFO to net income (which we believe is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Core FFO) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, a computation of basic and diluted Core FFO per weighted average share of common stock and Non-controlling OP Unit, and basic and diluted net income per weighted average share of common stock and Non-controlling OP Unit.

Subsequent to the end of the quarter:

• Collected 100% of April cash rents: Collected 100% of cash rents due in April;

• Declared distributions: Declared monthly cash distributions for April, May, and June 2026, totaling $0.30 per share on our common stock and Non-controlling OP Units, $0.414063 per share on our Series E Preferred Stock, $0.375 per share on our Series F Preferred Stock, $0.375 per share on our Series G Preferred Stock, and $0.2625 per share on our senior common stock.

Comments from Gladstone Commercial's Chief Executive Officer and President, Buzz Cooper: "Our financial results reflect consistent performance and stabilized revenues from our tremendous same store property occupancy, rent collection and growth, accretive real estate investments, and our ability to renew tenants. We plan to continue our capital recycling program, whereby we sell non-core assets and use the proceeds to de-lever our portfolio, as well as to acquire properties in our target growth markets. We will continue to opportunistically sell non-core assets and redeploy the proceeds into stronger target growth markets with a focus on industrial investment opportunities. While we expect to face challenges due to inflation, with a corresponding increase in interest rates, and various geo-political and economic issues, we feel strongly about the depth of our tenant credit underwriting. We have collected 100% of the first quarter's cash rents and 100% of April cash rents. We anticipate our tenants will successfully navigate the current economic climate and will be able to continue operating successfully when economic normalcy returns fully. Despite economic uncertainty, so far during 2026, we leased or renewed 805,622 square feet with five tenants. We are actively marketing our remaining vacant space and currently anticipate positive outcomes. We expect to continue to have access to the debt and equity markets, as necessary, for added liquidity. We believe our same store rents, which have increased by 2% or greater annually in recent years, should continue to rise as we grow, and we will continue to primarily focus on investing in our target markets, with an emphasis on industrial properties and actively managing our portfolio."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures:

FFO: The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP supplemental measure of operating performance of an equity REIT to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and impairment losses on property, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. FFO does not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of its performance or to cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions. The Company believes that FFO per share provides investors with an additional context for evaluating its financial performance and as a supplemental measure to compare it to other REITs; however, comparisons of its FFO to the FFO of other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to potential differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such other REITs.

Core FFO: Core FFO is FFO adjusted for certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by the Company's operating portfolio and affect the comparability of the Company's period-over-period performance. These items include the adjustment for acquisition related expenses, gains or losses from early extinguishment of debt and any other non-recurring expense adjustments. Although the Company's calculation of Core FFO differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs, the Company believes it is a meaningful supplemental measure of its operating performance. Accordingly, Core FFO should be considered a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.

The Company's presentation of FFO, as defined by NAREIT, or presentation of Core FFO, does not represent cash flows from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of its performance or to cash flow from operations as a measure of liquidity or ability to make distributions.
