The company reported metrics as of May 31, 2026 versus May 31, 2025.

Key Details

• Physical occupancy: 92.4% (May 31, 2026) vs. 93.1% (May 31, 2025).
• Monthly web rate: $1.21 (May 31, 2026) vs. $1.24 (May 31, 2025).
• Monthly move‑in rate: $1.06 (May 31, 2026) vs. $1.12 (May 31, 2025).
• Monthly in‑place rate: $1.66 (May 31, 2026) vs. $1.63 (May 31, 2025).

Why It Matters
These same‑store metrics are commonly used to track operational performance that feeds into revenue, NOI and quarterly results for REITs. The filing shows a small decline in physical occupancy and in web and move‑in rates year‑over‑year, while in‑place rates ticked up slightly — trends investors may watch for impacts on rental revenue and earnings in upcoming reports. Filing under Regulation FD means the company publicly disclosed these operational data points to ensure fair access to material information.
