The accelerating shift towards online grocery shopping and various last-mile fulfillment models (e.g., click-and-collect, home delivery, micro-fulfillment centers) poses a clear emerging threat. As a REIT heavily invested in grocery-anchored community shopping centers, Saul Centers relies on the foot traffic generated by these anchor tenants. Increased online grocery adoption directly reduces physical store visits, thereby diminishing foot traffic for other co-tenants and potentially altering the space requirements or desirability of traditional grocery store formats.

Saul Centers, Inc. (BFS) operates primarily in the ownership, management, and development of community and neighborhood shopping centers, office properties, and mixed-use properties. The company's main operational footprint is within the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States, with a significant concentration in the metropolitan Washington, D.C./Baltimore area, where over 85% of its property operating income is generated.

The addressable markets for Saul Centers' main products and services are sized as follows:

• Shopping Centers (U.S. Region): The global shopping centers market was valued at approximately USD 6 trillion in 2024, with the U.S. market estimated at US$1.6 trillion in the same year. North America accounted for over 46% of the global market revenue share in 2021.
• Office Properties (Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area): The Washington, D.C. Metropolitan commercial real estate market comprises approximately 436.6 million square feet of rentable office space as of Q3 2025. Another estimate indicates the entire D.C. market includes over 500 million square feet of office space, and the Baltimore market about 190 million square feet. Average asking rental rates in the D.C. Metropolitan area increased to $41.52 per square foot, full service, in Q3 2025.
• Mixed-Use Properties (U.S. Region): Mixed-use real estate, which integrates residential, commercial, retail, and sometimes entertainment spaces, has seen a surge in popularity across the United States. The commercial general and mixed-use category in the U.S. recorded an transaction volume of $8.2 billion in Q2 2025, reflecting an 11.3% year-over-year growth.

Saul Centers (BFS) is expected to experience future revenue growth over the next 2-3 years driven by the following factors:

1. Increased Occupancy and Stabilization of Twinbrook Quarter Phase I: The Twinbrook Quarter Phase I mixed-use property is a significant driver. While its initial operations negatively impacted net income due to increased expenses, revenue is projected to grow as occupancy continues to rise. As of November 3, 2025, a substantial 95.4% of the 452 residential units were leased and occupied, indicating a strong foundation for future revenue generation as this property matures and stabilizes.
2. Continued Base Rent Increases: Saul Centers has demonstrated the ability to implement higher commercial and residential base rents, which contributed to offsetting other financial declines in the third quarter of 2025. Sustained increases in base rents across its portfolio will be a key factor in future revenue expansion.
3. Portfolio Occupancy Management: Maintaining and improving occupancy rates across its portfolio, particularly in its shopping centers and existing residential units, will contribute to revenue growth. While shopping center occupancy saw a slight dip in the first half of 2025, the high occupancy achieved at Twinbrook Quarter Phase I highlights the potential for strong performance in well-leased properties.
