Public Storage Reports Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

GLENDALE, Calif., May 03, 2023--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Public Storage (NYSE:PSA) announced today operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

"Public Storage’s first quarter was robust, with move-in volumes up nearly 13%, same store NOI up more than 11%, and non-same store acquisition and development NOI up nearly 30%," said Joe Russell, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We are focused on operations, leading the self-storage industry’s digital evolution, transforming our operating model, and enhancing and growing our portfolio. We see opportunity across our business and are uniquely positioned to execute on delivering growth and value to our stakeholders."

Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

• Reported net income allocable to common shareholders of $2.65 per diluted share.

• Reported core FFO allocable to common shareholders ("Core FFO") of $4.08 per diluted share, an increase of 11.8% relative to the same period in 2022. Core FFO per diluted share increased 16.2% compared to the same period in 2022, excluding the contribution from our equity investment in PS Business Parks, Inc., which we sold in July 2022.

• Increased Same Store (as defined below) direct net operating income by 10.2%, resulting from a 9.8% increase in Same Store revenues.

• Achieved 78.9% Same Store direct net operating income margin, an increase of 0.4% relative to the same period in 2022.

• Acquired five self-storage facilities with 0.3 million net rentable square feet for $46.8 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, we acquired or were under contract to acquire 12 self-storage facilities with 0.9 million net rentable square feet, for $139.0 million.

• Opened three newly developed facilities and completed various expansion projects with 0.4 million net rentable square feet costing $65.3 million. At March 31, 2023, we had various facilities in development and expansion with 4.8 million net rentable square feet estimated to cost $1.0 billion.

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2023

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $467.6 million or $2.65 per diluted common share, compared to $464.1 million or $2.63 per diluted common share for the same period in 2022, representing an increase of $3.5 million or $0.02 per diluted common share. The increase is due primarily to (i) a $92.0 million increase in self-storage net operating income and (ii) a $15.3 million increase in interest and other income, partially offset by (iii) a $62.2 million increase in foreign currency exchange losses primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable and (iv) a $37.4 million decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities due to our sale of PSB in July 2022.

The $92.0 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is a result of a $64.4 million increase attributable to our Same Store Facilities and a $27.6 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities (as defined below). Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 9.8% or $75.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 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 5.6% or $11.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to increased property tax expense, repairs and maintenance expenses, marketing expense, and other direct property costs. The increase in net operating income of $27.6 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 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 March 31, 2023, FFO was $3.94 per diluted common share as compared to $3.83 for the same period in 2022, representing an increase of 2.9%.

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, and our equity share of 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. Our Same Store Facilities increased from 2,276 facilities at December 31, 2022 to 2,348 at March 31, 2023. 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 2,348 facilities (155.5 million net rentable square feet) that represent approximately 76% of the aggregate net rentable square feet of our U.S. consolidated self-storage portfolio at March 31, 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 2,348 Same Store Facilities, we have 529 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 311 facilities that were acquired, 49 newly developed facilities, 87 facilities that have been expanded or are targeted for expansion, and 82 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 March 31, 2023 Form 10-Q.

Investing and Capital Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we closed the acquisition of five self-storage facilities (one each in Florida, Idaho, Kentucky, Michigan, and Virginia) with 0.3 million net rentable square feet for $46.8 million.

Subsequent to March 31, 2023, we acquired or were under contract to acquire 12 self-storage facilities across three states with 0.9 million net rentable square feet, for $139.0 million.

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 March 31, 2023, we have completed the expansion projects on four facilities of this portfolio for $26.3 million, adding 169,000 net rentable square feet of storage space. These facilities generated revenues of $25.6 million, NOI of $20.0 million (including Direct NOI of $20.5 million), and average square footage occupancy of 85.7% for the three months ended March 31, 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 $21.4 million, NOI of $13.3 million (including Direct NOI of $14.2 million), and average square footage occupancy of 78.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2023.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we opened three newly developed facilities and completed various expansion projects (0.4 million net rentable square feet – 0.1 million each in Florida, Maryland, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania) costing $65.3 million. At March 31, 2023, we had various facilities in development (2.4 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $537.8 million and various expansion projects (2.4 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $488.2 million. Our aggregate 4.8 million net rentable square foot pipeline of development and expansion facilities includes 1.7 million in California, 0.9 million in Texas, 0.4 million in Nevada, 0.3 million each in Florida, Hawaii, and Maryland, 0.2 million in Washington, and 0.7 million in other states. The remaining $648.6 million of development costs for these projects are expected to be incurred primarily in the next 18 to 24 months.

Distributions Declared

On May 2, 2023, our Board of Trustees declared a regular common quarterly dividend of $3.00 per common share. The Board also declared dividends with respect to our various series of preferred shares. All the dividends are payable on June 29, 2023 to shareholders of record as of June 14, 2023.

Outlook for the Year Ending December 31, 2023

Set forth below are our current expectations 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.

(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.
