Public Storage (NYSE:PSA) announced today operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

"With first quarter performance in-line with our expectations, the Public Storage team is encouraged as we approach the busy season," said Joe Russell, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our view is supported by positive trends in customer behavior and waning deliveries of competitive new supply across the country. The Public Storage team continues to deploy the powerful combination and competitive advantages tied to our brand, platform, and balance sheet. As a result, we are driving stabilizing trends in our portfolio, including re-accelerating revenue growth month-over-month in an increasing number of our markets."

Highlights for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

Reported net income allocable to common shareholders of $2.60 per diluted share.
Reported core FFO allocable to common shareholders ("Core FFO") of $4.03 per diluted share.
Achieved 77.2% Same Store (as defined below) direct net operating income margin.
Opened one newly developed facility and completed various expansion projects, which together added 0.3 million net rentable square feet at a cost of $35.0 million. At March 31, 2024, we had various facilities in development and expansion expected to add 3.7 million net rentable square feet at an estimated cost of $783.0 million.
Subsequent to March 31, 2024, we acquired or were under contract to acquire four self-storage facilities with 0.3 million net rentable square feet, for $34.6 million.
On April 11, 2024, issued €150 million of senior notes to institutional investors, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 4.080% and maturing on April 11, 2039.
On April 16, 2024, completed a public offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, including $700 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate senior notes bearing interest at a rate of Compounded SOFR + 0.70% (reset quarterly) maturing on April 16, 2027 and an additional $300 million aggregate principal amount of our senior notes bearing interest at a fixed annual rate of 5.350% maturing on August 1, 2053.

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $459.2 million or $2.60 per diluted common share, compared to $467.6 million or $2.65 per diluted common share for the same period in 2023, representing a decrease of $8.4 million or $0.05 per diluted common share. The decrease is due primarily to (i) a $63.6 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense and (ii) a $31.7 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by (iii) a $64.4 million increase in foreign currency exchange gains primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable and (iv) a $25.1 million increase in self-storage net operating income.

The $25.1 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 is a result of a $35.4 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities (as defined below), partially offset by a $10.3 million decrease attributable to our Same Store Facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 0.1% or $0.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, due primarily to a 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 4.8% or $10.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, due primarily to increased property tax expense and marketing expense. The increase in net operating income of $35.4 million for the Non-Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of facilities acquired in 2023 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 March 31, 2024, FFO was $4.24 per diluted common share as compared to $3.94 for the same period in 2023, representing an increase of 7.6%.

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 loss contingency resolutions, due diligence costs incurred in pursuit of strategic transactions, unrealized gain on private equity investments, and amortization of acquired non real estate-related intangibles. 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, 2022. Our Same Store Facilities increased from 2,339 facilities at December 31, 2023 to 2,507 at March 31, 2024. The composition of our Same Store Facilities allows us to more effectively evaluate the ongoing performance of our self-storage portfolio in 2022, 2023, and 2024 and exclude the impact of fill-up of unstabilized facilities, which can significantly affect operating trends. We believe the Same Store Facilities 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 2,507 facilities (170.0 million net rentable square feet) that represent approximately 78% of the aggregate net rentable square feet of our U.S. consolidated self-storage portfolio at March 31, 2024 (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 reconciliation of self-storage NOI to net income provided below.
(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.
(f)		Represents the absolute nominal change with respect to gross margin and square foot occupancy, and the percentage change with respect to all other items.

Property Operations – Non-Same Store Facilities

In addition to the 2,507 Same Store Facilities, we have 538 facilities that were not stabilized with respect to occupancies, revenues, or cost of operations since January 1, 2022 or that we did not own as of January 1, 2022, including 238 facilities that were acquired, 40 newly developed facilities, 83 facilities that have been expanded or are targeted for expansion, and 177 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, 2024 Form 10-Q.

Investing and Capital Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we opened one newly developed facility and completed various expansion projects, which together contributed 0.3 million net rentable square feet (0.2 million in California and 0.1 million in Florida) at a cost of $35.0 million. At March 31, 2024, we had various facilities in development (expected to contribute 2.2 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $432.9 million and various expansion projects (expected to contribute 1.5 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $350.1 million. Our aggregate 3.7 million net rentable square foot pipeline of development and expansion facilities includes 1.1 million in California, 0.8 million in Florida, 0.6 million in Texas, 0.3 million in Nevada, 0.2 million each in Arizona, Maryland, and New York, and 0.3 million in other states. The remaining $393.7 million of development costs for these projects are expected to be incurred primarily in the next 18 to 24 months.

During 2023, we acquired BREIT Simply Storage LLC, a self-storage company that owns and operates 127 self-storage facilities (9.4 million square feet) and manages 25 self-storage facilities (1.8 million square feet) for third parties, for a purchase price of $2.2 billion in cash. The Simply portfolio generated self-storage revenues of $37.8 million, NOI of $24.9 million (including Direct NOI of $26.2 million), and average square footage occupancy of 86.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Subsequent to March 31, 2024, we acquired or were under contract to acquire four self-storage facilities across four states with 0.3 million net rentable square feet, for $34.6 million.

On April 11, 2024, PSOC issued €150 million of senior notes to institutional investors, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 4.080% and maturing on April 11, 2039. The senior notes are guaranteed by Public Storage. We received $162.6 million of net proceeds from the issuance after converting the Euros to U.S. Dollars. On April 11, 2024, we repaid PSOC's €100 million 1.54% senior notes due April 12, 2024 to the same institutional investors for $108.4 million.

On April 16, 2024, PSOC completed a public offering of $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of senior notes, including $700 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate senior notes bearing interest at a rate of Compounded SOFR + 0.70% (reset quarterly) maturing on April 16, 2027 and $300 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes bearing interest at a fixed annual rate of 5.350% maturing on August 1, 2053. The 2053 notes constitute a further issuance of, and form a single series with, our outstanding 5.350% senior notes due 2053 issued on July 26, 2023 in the aggregate principal amount of $600 million. These senior notes are guaranteed by Public Storage. We received $988.5 million of net proceeds from the offering. On April 23, 2024, we repaid our outstanding $700 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate senior notes at maturity.

Outlook for the Year Ending December 31, 2024

Set forth below are our current expectations with respect to full year 2024 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 2024 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 2024 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 recurring capital expenditures, which do not include capital expenditures for energy efficiencies including LED lighting and solar panel installation. 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.
