Annual Presentation to Shareholders 2026

Annual Presentation to Shareholders – May 8, 2026 2 Forward Looking Statements Safe Harbor Statement Certain matters discussed within this presentation may be deemed to be forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained. These factors include, but are not limited to, the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and other periodic or current reports filed with the SEC and include the following: (i) macroeconomic conditions, including due to geopolitical instability and global trade disruptions, which may lead to reduced or disrupted access to capital, rising inflation and could negatively impact the business operations of some of our tenants (ii) the ability of our tenants to pay rent, (iii) our reliance on shopping center "anchor" tenants and other significant tenants, (iv) our substantial relationships with members of the B. F. Saul Company and certain other affiliated entities, each of which is controlled by B. Francis Saul II and his family members, (v) risks such as increases in interest rates, restrictions imposed by our debt, our ability to meet existing financial covenants and our ability to consummate planned and additional financings on acceptable terms or at all, (vi) our access to capital, (vii) our ability to successfully complete acquisitions, developments or redevelopments, or if they are consummated, whether such acquisitions, developments or redevelopments perform as expected, (viii) adverse trends in the retail, office and residential real estate sectors, (ix) risks relating to cybersecurity and potential future uses of artificial intelligence (“AI”), including disruption to our business and operations, reputational risk, regulatory risk, and exposure to liabilities from tenants, employees, capital providers, and other third parties, (x) risks generally incident to the ownership of real property, including adverse changes in economic conditions, changes in the investment climate for real estate, changes in real estate taxes and other operating expenses, adverse changes in governmental rules and fiscal policies, the relative illiquidity of real estate and environmental risks, and (xi) risks related to our status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, such as the existence of complex regulations relating to our status as a REIT, the effect of future changes to REIT requirements as a result of new legislation and the adverse consequences of the failure to qualify as a REIT. Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that we make, including those in this presentation. Except as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to update any of the forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. You should carefully review the risks and risk factors included in (i) our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and (ii) our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026. 2

Annual Presentation to Shareholders – May 8, 2026 3 Non-GAAP Measures Funds from Operations (“FFO”) The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an equity Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). FFO is defined by Nareit as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and excluding impairment charges on depreciable real estate assets and gains or losses from property dispositions. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, which is disclosed in our consolidated statements of cash flows included in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, as an indicator of the operating performance of Saul Centers, Inc. (the “Company”) or as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Management considers FFO a meaningful supplemental measure of operating performance because it primarily excludes the assumption that the value of the real estate assets diminishes predictably over time (i.e., depreciation), which is contrary to what we believe occurs with our assets, and because industry analysts have accepted it as a performance measure. FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other REITs. Reconciliations of FFO to net income are included in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC. Property Net Operating Income Property net operating income is a non-GAAP financial measure of performance. Property net operating income is defined as net income plus (a) interest expense, net and amortization of deferred debt costs, (b) depreciation and amortization of deferred leasing costs, (c) general and administrative expenses, (d) change in fair value of derivatives, and (e) loss on the early extinguishment of debt minus (f) gains on property dispositions, (g) straight-line base rent, and (h) amortization of above/below market premiums and discounts related to leases acquired in connection with purchased real estate investment properties. Property net operating income is a measure of the operating performance of the Company's properties but does not measure the Company's performance as a whole. Property net operating income should not be considered as an alternative to net income, its most directly comparable GAAP measure, as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. Management deems property net operating income a meaningful supplemental measure of operating performance because it is not affected by the cost of the Company's funding, the impact of depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses from the acquisition and sale of operating real estate assets, general and administrative expenses or other gains and losses that relate to ownership of the Company's properties. Management believes the exclusion of these items from property net operating income is useful because the resulting measure captures the actual revenue generated and actual expenses incurred by operating the Company's properties. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating property net operating income. Accordingly, property net operating income may not be comparable to those of other REITs. A reconciliation of property net operating income to net income is included in our annual and quarterly reports filed with the SEC. In the ensuing presentation, certain disclosures of property net operating income (a) include straight-line base rent and/or (b) exclude the net operating income of properties that were not in operation for the entirety of the comparable periods. Such variations from the definition of property net operating income are identified as such. 3

Included in the 95.6% of space leased as of December 31, 2025, is approximately 185,000 square feet of shopping center space that is leased but that has not yet been occupied by the tenant. Collectively, these leases are expected to produce approximately $4.7 million of additional annualized future base rent upon tenant occupancy and following any contractual rent concessions. Our shopping center leasing percentage as of March 31, 2026 was 95.9%. 8

Avg. = 78.5% Av er ag e R en ew al P er ce nt ag e A significant contributor to income growth is the number of existing tenants renewing their leases. A higher renewal percentage minimizes lost income from vacancy and reduces landlord capital costs often necessary in re-tenanting space. The percentage of shopping center tenants renewing leases, as measured by expiring base rents, averaged approximately 78.5% over the past ten years. In 2025, 74.7% of shopping center tenants renewed. The lower renewal percentage in 2025 was primarily due to bankruptcies and store closings of a few large tenants. Base rents from tenants renewing in 2025 increased 10.7% over their expiring base rents. 10
