Insights

The recent financial results reported by Extra Space Storage Inc. show a 30.8% decrease in net income per diluted share year over year, which raises questions about the impact of the Life Storage Merger on the company's profitability. This decrease is attributed to non-cash interest and amortization of intangibles related to this merger. Given the context of an acquisition, it's not unusual to see such expenses depress net income temporarily. However, investors should monitor upcoming quarters to assess whether the synergies from the merger will offset these costs.

On the positive side, Extra Space Storage Inc. reported a slight increase in same-store revenue and occupancy rates. The growth in occupancy from 92.7% to 93.2% suggests a stable demand for storage units; yet the 1.0% revenue growth coupled with a decrease in same-store net operating income (NOI) by 0.5% indicates potential pressures on profit margins. This emphasizes the importance of scrutinizing expense management strategies moving forward.

In terms of acquisitions, the company remains active, with a total investment of $203.148 million projected for 2024. This aligns with the company’s growth strategy but warrants a careful evaluation of the return on investment for these properties, as overexpansion could dilute shareholder value if not managed prudently.

An aspect worthy of attention is the increase in same-store operating expenses by 5.5%, led by significant increases in marketing and insurance costs. This could suggest either a competitive market environment requiring aggressive customer acquisition efforts, or cost inflation pressures, which are important to monitor for future profitability outlooks.

The continued expansion of the third-party management platform, with 97 additional stores, reinforces Extra Space's position as the largest self-storage management company in the U.S. This business model leverages brand and operational expertise without tying up capital in real estate ownership, which could be a strategic advantage in a capital-intensive industry.

The balance sheet details reflect a 77.2% fixed-rate debt to total debt ratio, which suggests a conservative approach to debt management. This conservative capital structure could be a hedge against rising interest rates, as evidenced by the weighted average interest rates of the Company's fixed and variable-rate debt at 4.0% and 6.5% respectively. With interest rate fluctuations presenting a risk to real estate investment trusts (REITs), such a profile might be comforting to investors concerned about interest rate risks.

The introduction of a new $800.0 million ATM program indicates that the company is proactively managing its equity financing options. This approach gives Extra Space Storage flexibility to raise capital efficiently while potentially avoiding the dilutive effects of larger one-time share issuances.

SALT LAKE CITY, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Extra Space Storage Inc. (NYSE: EXR) (the "Company"), a leading owner and operator of self-storage facilities in the United States and a constituent of the S&P 500, announced operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Highlights for the three months ended March 31, 2024:

  • Achieved net income attributable to common stockholders of $1.01 per diluted share, representing a 30.8% decrease compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to non-cash interest and amortization of intangibles related to the Company's 2023 merger (the "Life Storage Merger") with Life Storage, Inc. ("Life Storage" or "LSI").
  • Achieved funds from operations attributable to common stockholders and unit holders ("FFO") of $1.87 per diluted share. FFO, excluding adjustments ("Core FFO"), was $1.96 per diluted share, representing a 3.0% decrease compared to the same period in the prior year.
  • Increased same-store revenue by 1.0% and same-store net operating income ("NOI") decreased by (0.5)% compared to the same period in the prior year.
  • Reported ending same-store occupancy of 93.2% as of March 31, 2024, compared to 92.7% as of March 31, 2023.
  • The Company acquired five operating stores and one store at completion of construction ("Certificate of Occupancy stores" or "C of O stores") for a total cost of approximately $35.1 million.
  • In conjunction with a joint venture partner, completed one development for a total cost of approximately $20.4 million, of which the Company invested $19.4 million.
  • Originated $164.3 million in mortgage and mezzanine bridge loans.
  • Added 97 stores (72 stores net) to the Company's third-party management platform. As of March 31, 2024, the Company managed 1,409 stores for third parties and 472 stores in unconsolidated joint ventures, for a total of 1,881 managed stores.
  • Paid a quarterly dividend of $1.62 per share.

Joe Margolis, CEO of Extra Space Storage Inc., commented: "We achieved positive year-over-year occupancy growth in the Extra Space and Life Storage same-store pools.  We have also continued to realize G&A savings and to expand our bridge lending and third party management programs.  Rental activity has been strong year to date and vacates remain muted, which positions us well to maximize revenue during the 2024 leasing season."

Per share amounts may not recalculate due to rounding.

(2)

The adjustment to account for the difference between the number of shares used to calculate earnings per share and the number of shares used to calculate FFO per share. Earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method, which uses a lower number of shares than the calculation for FFO per share and Core FFO per share, which are calculated assuming full redemption of all OP units as described in note (3).

(3)

Extra Space Storage LP (the "Operating Partnership") has outstanding preferred and common Operating Partnership units ("OP units"). These OP units can be redeemed for cash or, at the Company's election, shares of the Company's common stock. Redemption of all OP units for common stock has been assumed for purposes of calculating the weighted average number of shares — diluted, as presented above. The computation of weighted average number of shares — diluted, for FFO per share and Core FFO per share also includes the effect of share-based compensation plans.

Definition of FFO:

FFO provides relevant and meaningful information about the Company's operating performance that is necessary, along with net income and cash flows, for an understanding of the Company's operating results. The Company believes FFO is a meaningful disclosure as a supplement to net income. Net income assumes that the values of real estate assets diminish predictably over time as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses. The values of real estate assets fluctuate due to market conditions and the Company believes FFO more accurately reflects the value of the Company's real estate assets. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") as net income computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains or losses on sales of operating stores and impairment write downs of depreciable real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization related to real estate and after adjustments to record unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. The Company believes that to further understand the Company's performance, FFO should be considered along with the reported net income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements. FFO should not be considered a replacement of net income computed in accordance with GAAP.

For informational purposes, the Company also presents Core FFO.  Core FFO excludes revenues and expenses not core to our operations and transaction costs.  It also includes certain costs associated with the Life Storage Merger including transition costs, non-cash interest related to the amortization of discount on unsecured senior notes and amortization of other intangibles, net of tax benefit.  Although the Company's calculation of Core FFO differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs and real estate companies, the Company believes it provides a meaningful supplemental measure of operating performance. The Company believes that by excluding revenues and expenses not core to our operations and non-cash interest charges, stockholders and potential investors are presented with an indicator of our operating performance that more closely achieves the objectives of the real estate industry in presenting FFO. Core FFO by the Company should not be considered a replacement of the NAREIT definition of FFO. The computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of the Company's performance, as an alternative to net cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an indicator of the Company's ability to make cash distributions.

Definition of Same-Store:

The Company's same-store pool for the periods presented consists of 1,078 stores that are wholly-owned and operated and that were stabilized by the first day of the earliest calendar year presented.  The Company considers a store to be stabilized once it has been open for three years or has sustained average square foot occupancy of 80.0% or more for one calendar year. The Company believes that by providing same-store results from a stabilized pool of stores, with accompanying operating metrics including, but not limited to occupancy, rental revenue (growth), operating expenses (growth), net operating income (growth), etc., stockholders and potential investors are able to evaluate operating performance without the effects of non-stabilized occupancy levels, rent levels, expense levels, acquisitions or completed developments.  Same-store results should not be used as a basis for future same-store performance or for the performance of the Company's stores as a whole. No modification has been made to the same-store pool to include any assets acquired from Life Storage.
