Development Activity

The Company has agreements with developers for the construction of self-storage properties in high-barrier-to-entry locations. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company opened for operation one development property located in New York for a total cost of $18.1 million.

As of September 30, 2025, the Company had one joint venture development property under construction. The Company anticipates investing a total of $19.0 million related to this project and had invested $16.4 million of that total as of September 30, 2025. The store is located in New York and is expected to open during the fourth quarter of 2025.

Third-Party Management

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s third-party management platform included 863 stores totaling 56.6 million rentable square feet. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company added 46 stores and 109 stores, respectively, to its third-party management platform.

Same-Store Results

The Company’s same-store portfolio as of September 30, 2025 included 606 stores containing 43.8 million rentable square feet, or approximately 90.9% of the aggregate rentable square feet of the Company’s 660 consolidated stores. These same-store properties represented approximately 93.7% of the Company’s property NOI for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Same-store physical occupancy as of September 30, 2025 and 2024 was 89.0% and 90.2%, respectively. Same-store total revenues for the third quarter of 2025 decreased 1.0% and same-store operating expenses increased 0.3% compared to the same quarter in 2024. Same-store NOI decreased 1.5% from the third quarter of 2024 to the third quarter of 2025.

Operating Results

As of September 30, 2025, the Company’s total consolidated portfolio included 660 stores containing 48.2 million rentable square feet and had physical occupancy of 88.6%.

Total revenues increased $14.2 million and property operating expenses increased $9.0 million for the third quarter of 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024. Increases in revenues and expenses were primarily attributable to revenues and expenses generated from property acquisitions and recently opened development properties.

Interest expense increased from $22.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $29.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $6.6 million. The increase was attributable to an increase in the average outstanding debt balance and higher interest rates during the 2025 period compared to the 2024 period. The average outstanding debt balance increased from $2.94 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2024 to $3.44 billion during the three months ended September 30, 2025. The weighted average effective interest rate on our outstanding debt increased from 2.99% during the three months ended September 30, 2024 to 3.32% for the three months ended September 30, 2025.

Financing Activity

On August 20, 2025, the Company’s operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) issued $450 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due November 1, 2035, which bear interest at a rate of 5.125% per annum (the “2035 Notes”). The 2035 Notes were priced at 98.656% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 5.295%. Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay outstanding indebtedness on the Operating Partnership’s unsecured revolving credit facility and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company did not sell any common shares of beneficial interest through its at-the-market ("ATM") equity program. As of September 30, 2025, the Company had 13.5 million shares available for issuance under the existing equity distribution agreements.

Quarterly Dividend

On July 29, 2025, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.52 per common share. The dividend was paid on October 15, 2025 to common shareholders of record on October 1, 2025.

2025 Financial Outlook

“In August, we raised $450 million through a successful bond offering, our first in almost four years, showcasing our access to attractively-priced capital,” commented Chief Financial Officer Tim Martin. “Continued stabilizing trends through the third quarter positioned us to further increase the midpoints of our full year FFO per share and same-store guidance ranges.”

The Company estimates that its fully diluted earnings per share for 2025 will be between $1.46 and $1.50, and that its fully diluted FFO per share, as adjusted, for 2025 will be between $2.56 and $2.60. Due to uncertainty related to the timing and terms of transactions, the impact of any potential future speculative investment activity is excluded from guidance. For 2025, the same-store pool consists of 606 properties totaling 43.8 million rentable square feet.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. The April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (the “White Paper”), as amended, defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate and related impairment charges, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Management uses FFO as a key performance indicator in evaluating the operations of the Company's stores. Given the nature of its business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company considers FFO a key measure of its operating performance that is not specifically defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company believes that FFO is useful to management and investors as a starting point in measuring its operational performance because FFO excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of its operating performance such as gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, gains from remeasurement of investments in real estate ventures, impairments of depreciable assets, and depreciation, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. The Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies.

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company’s performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and is not a measure of liquidity or an indicator of the Company’s ability to make cash distributions. The Company believes that to further understand its performance, FFO should be compared with its reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP, as presented in its consolidated financial statements.

FFO, as adjusted represents FFO as defined above, excluding the effects of acquisition related costs, gains or losses from early extinguishment of debt, and other non-recurring items, which the Company believes are not indicative of the Company’s operating results.

The Company defines net operating income, which it refers to as “NOI,” as total continuing revenues less continuing property operating expenses. NOI also can be calculated by adding back to net income (loss): interest expense on loans, loan procurement amortization expense, loss on early extinguishment of debt, acquisition related costs, equity in losses of real estate ventures, other expense, depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expense, and deducting from net income (loss): equity in earnings of real estate ventures, gains from sales of real estate, net, other income, gains from remeasurement of investments in real estate ventures and interest income. NOI is a measure of performance that is not calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Management uses NOI as a measure of operating performance at each of its stores, and for all of its stores in the aggregate. NOI should not be considered as a substitute for net income, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Company believes NOI is useful to investors in evaluating operating performance because it is one of the primary measures used by management and store managers to evaluate the economic productivity of the Company’s stores, including the ability to lease stores, increase pricing and occupancy, and control property operating expenses. Additionally, NOI helps the Company’s investors meaningfully compare the results of its operating performance from period to period by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense on outstanding indebtedness) and depreciation of the basis in its assets from operating results.
