Public Storage Reports Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

Public Storage (NYSE:PSA) announced today operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023.

“Public Storage’s industry-leading platform drove higher move-in volumes, improved occupancy, and better-than-expected NOI growth in our stabilized and lease-up portfolios during the third quarter. Collectively, this propelled a third consecutive increase to our outlook for 2023 within a competitive customer move-in environment across the self-storage industry,” said Joe Russell, President and Chief Executive Officer. “The team successfully integrated the $2.2 billion Simply Self Storage portfolio, welcoming approximately 90,000 customers to our platform. We are uniquely positioned to deliver growth and value to our stakeholders in an industry with strong secular fundamentals.”

Highlights for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023

  • Reported net income allocable to common shareholders of $3.20 per diluted share.
  • Reported core FFO allocable to common shareholders (“Core FFO”) of $4.33 per diluted share, an increase of 4.8% relative to the same period in 2022. Core FFO per diluted share increased 5.6% compared to the same period in 2022, excluding the contribution from our equity investment in PS Business Parks, Inc. (“PSB”), which we sold in July 2022.
  • Increased Same Store (as defined below) direct net operating income by 1.9%, resulting from a 2.5% increase in Same Store revenues.
  • Achieved 79.7% Same Store direct net operating income margin.
  • Closed acquisitions of BREIT Simply Storage LLC, a self-storage company that owns and operates 127 self-storage facilities (9.4 million net rentable square feet) and manages 25 self-storage facilities for third parties for $2.2 billion in cash on September 13, 2023 (the “Simply Acquisition”), and ten self-storage facilities (0.7 million net rentable square feet) for $110.5 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2023, we acquired or were under contract to acquire eleven self-storage facilities (0.8 million net rentable square feet) for $170.3 million.
  • Opened three newly developed facilities and completed various expansion projects (0.5 million net rentable square feet) costing $88.2 million. At September 30, 2023, we had various facilities in development and expansion with 4.6 million net rentable square feet estimated to cost $952.1 million.
  • On July 26, 2023, in connection with the Simply Acquisition, issued $2.2 billion of unsecured senior notes in 2-, 5.5-, 10-, and 30-year tranches bearing annual rates of Compounded SOFR + 0.60%, 5.125%, 5.100%, and 5.350%, respectively.

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $563.2 million or $3.20 per diluted common share, compared to $2.7 billion or $15.38 per diluted common share for the same period in 2022, representing a decrease of $2.1 billion or $12.18 per diluted common share. The decrease is due primarily to (i) a $2.1 billion gain on sale of our equity investment in PSB in July 2022, (ii) a $52.3 million decrease in foreign currency exchange gains primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable, and (iii) a $24.2 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by (iv) a $39.0 million increase in self-storage net operating income and (v) a $19.6 million increase in interest and other income.

The $39.0 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is a result of a $15.7 million increase attributable to our Same Store Facilities and a $23.3 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities (as defined below). Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 2.5% or $21.1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot, partially offset by a decline in occupancy. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 2.8% or $5.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to increased property tax expense and marketing expense. The increase in net operating income of $23.3 million for the Non-Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of facilities acquired in 2021, 2022, and 2023 and the fill-up of recently developed and expanded facilities.

Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $1.6 billion or $8.85 per diluted common share, compared to $3.8 billion or $21.44 per diluted common share for the same period in 2022, representing a decrease of $2.2 billion or $12.59 per diluted common share. The decrease is due primarily to (i) a $2.1 billion gain on sale of our equity investment in PSB in July 2022, (ii) a $217.3 million decrease in foreign currency exchange gains primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable, (iii) a $77.3 million decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities due to our sale of PSB in July 2022, and (iv) a $32.4 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by (v) a $194.2 million increase in self-storage net operating income and (vi) a $43.0 million increase in interest and other income.

The $194.2 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is a result of a $121.4 million increase attributable to our Same Store Facilities and a $72.8 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 6.1% or $147.5 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot, partially offset by a decline in occupancy. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 4.5% or $26.1 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to increased property tax expense, marketing expense, and other direct property costs. The increase in net operating income of $72.8 million for the Non-Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of facilities acquired in 2021 and 2022 and the fill-up of recently developed and expanded facilities.

Funds from Operations

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and FFO per share are non-GAAP measures defined by Nareit. We believe that FFO and FFO per share are useful to REIT investors and analysts in measuring our performance because Nareit’s definition of FFO excludes items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating and financial performance. FFO represents net income before real estate-related depreciation and amortization, which is excluded because it is based upon historical costs and assumes that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions. FFO also excludes gains or losses on sale of real estate assets and real estate impairment charges, which are also based upon historical costs and are impacted by historical depreciation. FFO and FFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. FFO is not a substitute for net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because it excludes investing and financing activities presented on our consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITs may compute these measures differently, so comparisons among REITs may not be helpful.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023, FFO was $4.58 per diluted common share as compared to $4.66 for the same period in 2022, representing a decrease of 1.7%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, FFO was $12.82 per diluted common share, as compared to $13.08 in the same period in 2022, representing a decrease of 2.0%.

We also present “Core FFO” and “Core FFO per share,” non-GAAP measures that represent FFO and FFO per share excluding the impact of (i) foreign currency exchange gains and losses, (ii) charges related to the redemption of preferred securities, and (iii) certain other non-cash and/or nonrecurring income or expense items primarily representing, with respect to the periods presented below, the impact of contingency resolution, due diligence costs incurred in pursuit of strategic transactions, unrealized gain on private equity investments, UPREIT reorganization costs, Simply integration costs, amortization of acquired non real estate-related intangibles from the Simply Acquisition, property losses and tenant claims due to casualties and our equity share of deferred tax benefits of a change in tax status and severance of a senior executive from our equity investees. We review Core FFO and Core FFO per share to evaluate our ongoing operating performance, and we believe they are used by investors and REIT analysts in a similar manner. However, Core FFO and Core FFO per share are not substitutes for net income and net income per share. Because other REITs may not compute Core FFO or Core FFO per share in the same manner as we do, may not use the same terminology, or may not present such measures, Core FFO and Core FFO per share may not be comparable among REITs.

Property Operations – Same Store Facilities

The Same Store Facilities consist of facilities that have been owned and operated on a stabilized level of occupancy, revenues, and cost of operations since January 1, 2021. The composition of our Same Store Facilities allows us to more effectively evaluate the ongoing performance of our self-storage portfolio in 2021, 2022, and 2023 and exclude the impact of fill-up of unstabilized facilities, which can significantly affect operating trends. We believe the Same Store information is used by investors and analysts in a similar manner. However, because other REITs may not compute Same Store Facilities in the same manner as we do, may not use the same terminology, or may not present such a measure, Same Store Facilities may not be comparable among REITs. The following table summarizes the historical operating results (for all periods presented) of these 2,343 facilities (155.1 million net rentable square feet) that represent approximately 72% of the aggregate net rentable square feet of our U.S. consolidated self-storage portfolio at September 30, 2023 (unaudited):

(a)

Revenues and cost of operations do not include tenant reinsurance and merchandise sales and expenses generated at the facilities.

(b)

Direct net operating income (“Direct NOI”), a subtotal within NOI, is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of supervisory payroll, centralized management costs, and share-based compensation in addition to depreciation and amortization expense. We utilize direct net operating income in evaluating property performance and in evaluating property operating trends as compared to our competitors.

(c)

See attached reconciliation of self-storage NOI to net income.

(d)

Realized annual rent per occupied square foot is computed by dividing annualized rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the weighted average occupied square feet for the period. Realized annual rent per available square foot (“REVPAF”) is computed by dividing annualized rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the total available rentable square feet for the period. These measures exclude late charges and administrative fees in order to provide a better measure of our ongoing level of revenue. Late charges are dependent upon the level of delinquency, and administrative fees are dependent upon the level of move-ins. In addition, the rates charged for late charges and administrative fees can vary independently from rental rates. These measures take into consideration promotional discounts, which reduce rental income.

(e)

Annual contract rent represents the agreed upon monthly rate that is paid by our tenants in place at the time of measurement. Contract rates are initially set in the lease agreement upon move-in, and we adjust them from time to time with notice. Contract rent excludes other fees that are charged on a per-item basis, such as late charges and administrative fees, does not reflect the impact of promotional discounts, and does not reflect the impact of rents that are written off as uncollectible.

Property Operations – Non-Same Store Facilities

In addition to the 2,343 Same Store Facilities, we have 685 facilities that were not stabilized with respect to occupancies, revenues, or cost of operations since January 1, 2021 or that we did not own as of January 1, 2021, including 459 facilities that were acquired, 52 newly developed facilities, 88 facilities that have been expanded or are targeted for expansion, and 86 facilities that are unstabilized because they are undergoing fill-up or were damaged in casualty events (collectively, the “Non-Same Store Facilities”). Operating data, metrics, and further commentary with respect to these facilities, including detail by vintage, are included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under “Analysis of Net Income – Self-Storage Operations” in our September 30, 2023 Form 10-Q.

Investing and Capital Activities

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we added 137 self-storage facilities (10.1 million net rentable square feet) to our self-storage portfolio through acquisitions, including 127 self-storage facilities from the Simply Acquisition (38 in Texas, 19 in Florida, 12 in Oklahoma, nine in Tennessee, eight each in Indiana and Michigan, five each in Georgia, New Jersey, and Ohio, four each in California, Illinois, Mississippi, and New York, three each in Minnesota and Washington, two in North Carolina, and one each in Alabama, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina) for $2.3 billion.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we added 153 self-storage facilities (11.3 million net rentable square feet) to our self-storage portfolio through acquisitions including 127 self-storage facilities from the Simply Acquisition (38 in Texas, 21 in Florida, 12 in Oklahoma, nine each in Michigan and Tennessee, eight each in Indiana and South Carolina, five each in Georgia, New Jersey, and Ohio, four each in California, Illinois, Mississippi, and New York, three each in Minnesota, North Carolina, and Washington, two in Virginia, and one each in Alabama, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania) for $2.5 billion.

Subsequent to September 30, 2023, we acquired or were under contract to acquire eleven self-storage facilities across eight states with 0.8 million net rentable square feet, for $170.3 million.

The Simply portfolio of 127 properties (9.4 million net rentable square feet) generated self-storage revenues of $7.1 million, NOI of $5.8 million (including Direct NOI of $6.2 million), and average square footage occupancy of 89.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

During 2021, we acquired a portfolio of 48 properties (4.1 million net rentable square feet) operated under the brand name of ezStorage for $1.8 billion. As of June 30, 2023, we have completed the expansion projects on four facilities of this portfolio for $26.4 million, adding 169,000 net rentable square feet of storage space. These facilities generated revenues of $78.3 million, NOI of $61.4 million (including Direct NOI of $63.2 million), and average square footage occupancy of 86.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

During 2021, we acquired a portfolio of 56 properties (7.5 million net rentable square feet) operated under the brand name of All Storage for $1.5 billion. These facilities generated revenues of $66.4 million, NOI of $42.4 million (including Direct NOI of $44.6 million), and average square footage occupancy of 78.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we opened three newly developed facilities and completed various expansion projects (0.5 million net rentable square feet - 0.1 million each in California, Kansas, Nevada, Tennessee, and Texas) costing $88.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we opened six newly developed facilities and completed various expansion projects (0.9 million net rentable square feet – 0.1 million each in California, Florida, Kansas, Maryland, Nevada, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, and Texas) costing $172.6 million. At September 30, 2023, we had various facilities in development (2.4 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $501.8 million and various expansion projects (2.2 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $450.3 million. Our aggregate 4.6 million net rentable square foot pipeline of development and expansion facilities includes 1.6 million in California, 0.9 million in Texas, 0.4 million in Florida, 0.3 million each in Arizona, Hawaii, Maryland and Nevada, 0.2 million in Washington, and 0.4 million in other states. The remaining $495.0 million of development costs for these projects are expected to be incurred primarily in the next 18 to 24 months.

In connection with the Simply Acquisition, on July 26, 2023, we completed a public offering of $400 million, $500 million, $700 million, and $600 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes bearing interest at an annual rate of Compounded SOFR + 0.60% (reset quarterly), 5.125%, 5.100%, and 5.350%, respectively, and maturing on July 25, 2025, January 15, 2029, August 1, 2033, and August 1, 2053, respectively.

Outlook for the Year Ending December 31, 2023

Set forth below are our current expectations and prior expectations as of August 2, 2023 with respect to full year 2023 Core FFO per share and certain underlying assumptions. In reliance on the exception provided by applicable SEC rules, we do not provide guidance for GAAP net income per share, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, or a reconciliation of 2023 Core FFO per share to GAAP net income per share because we are unable to reasonably predict the following items which are included in GAAP net income: (i) gains or losses on sales of real estate investments, (ii) foreign currency exchange gains and losses, (iii) charges related to the redemption of preferred securities, and (iv) certain other significant non-cash and/or nonrecurring income or expense items. The actual amounts for any and all of these items could significantly impact our 2023 GAAP net income and, as disclosed in our historical financial results, have significantly impacted GAAP net income in prior periods.

(a)

FAD represents FFO adjusted to exclude certain non-cash charges and to deduct capital expenditures. We utilize FAD in evaluating our ongoing cash flow available for investment, debt repayment, and common distributions. We believe investors and analysts utilize FAD in a similar manner. FAD is not a substitute for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because it excludes investing and financing activities presented on our statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITs may compute this measure differently, so comparisons among REITs may not be helpful.

(b)

A special dividend of $13.15 per common share was paid on August 4, 2022, in connection with the gain on sale of our equity investment in PSB on July 20, 2022.

(c)

Supplemental payout ratio, excluding the impact of the special dividend, which was due to the gain on sale of our equity investment in PSB. This supplemental measure is presented to portray regular dividends, because FAD excludes the gain on sale of our equity investment in PSB.

(a)

Net operating income or “NOI” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization expense, which is based upon historical costs and assumes that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions. We utilize NOI in determining current property values, evaluating property performance, and evaluating operating trends. We believe that investors and analysts utilize NOI in a similar manner. NOI is not a substitute for net income, operating cash flow, or other related GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results. This table reconciles from NOI for our self-storage facilities to the net income presented on our income statement.
