Highlights for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

• Reported net income allocable to common shareholders of $15.38 per diluted share.

• Reported core FFO allocable to common shareholders (“Core FFO”) of $4.13 per diluted share, an increase of 20.8% relative to the same period in 2021.

• Increased Same Store (as defined below) direct net operating income by 16.5%, resulting from a 14.7% increase in Same Store revenues.

• Achieved 80.3% Same Store direct net operating income margin, an increase of 1.6% relative to the same period in 2021.

• Acquired 24 self-storage facilities with 1.7 million net rentable square feet for $250.6 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2022, we acquired or were under contract to acquire 33 self-storage facilities with 1.7 million net rentable square feet, for $262.6 million.

• Opened five newly developed facilities and completed various expansion projects with 0.5 million net rentable square feet costing $69.7 million. At September 30, 2022, we had various facilities in development and expansion with 5.1 million net rentable square feet estimated to cost $1.0 billion.

• Distributed a one-time dividend of $13.15 per common share totaling $2.3 billion in August 2022, in connection with the sale of our equity investment of PS Business Park, Inc. (“PSB”), upon completion of its merger transaction with the affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate (“Blackstone”) on July 20, 2022.

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2022

For the three months ended September 30, 2022, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $2,712.2 million or $15.38 per diluted common share, compared to $442.3 million or $2.52 per diluted common share in 2021, representing an increase of $2,269.9 million or $12.86 per diluted common share. The increase is due primarily to (i) a $2.1 billion gain on sale of our equity investment in PSB, (ii) a $148.4 million increase in self-storage net operating income, and (iii) a $59.3 million increase in foreign currency exchange gains primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable, partially offset by (iv) a $32.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, (v) a $24.7 million decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities due to the sale of our equity investment in PSB, and (vi) a $10.4 million increase in interest expense.

The $148.4 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 is a result of a $91.9 million increase attributable to our Same Store Facilities and a $56.5 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities (as defined below). Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 14.7% or $105.4 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot, partially offset by decline in occupancy. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 7.7% or $13.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, due primarily to increased property tax expense, marketing expense, other direct property costs, and centralized management costs. The increase in net operating income of $56.5 million for the Non-Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of facilities acquired in 2021 and the fill-up of recently developed and expanded facilities.

Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $3,779.7 million or $21.44 per diluted common share, compared to $1,174.4 million or $6.70 per diluted common share in 2021, representing an increase of $2,605.3 million or $14.74 per diluted common share. The increase is due primarily to (i) a $2.1 billion gain on sale of our equity investment in PSB, (ii) a $476.6 million increase in self-storage net operating income, and (iii) a $163.7 million increase in foreign currency exchange gains primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable, partially offset by (iv) a $153.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, and (v) a $39.2 million increase in interest expense.

The $476.6 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 is a result of a $283.2 million increase attributable to our Same Store Facilities and a $193.4 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 15.4% or $315.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot, partially offset by decline in occupancy. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 6.2% or $32.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, due primarily to increased property tax expense, on-site property manager payroll expense, other direct property costs, and centralized management costs. The increase in net operating income of $193.4 million for the Non-Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of facilities acquired in 2021 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 the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and are considered helpful measures of REIT performance by REITs and many REIT analysts. 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 September 30, 2022, FFO was $4.66 per diluted common share as compared to $3.61 in the same period in 2021, representing an increase of 29.1%.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, FFO was $13.08 per diluted common share, as compared to $9.69 in the same period in 2021, representing an increase of 35.0%.

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 accruals and casualties, unrealized gain on private equity investments and our equity share of merger transaction costs, severance of a senior executive, and casualties 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, 2020. The composition of our Same Store Facilities allows us to more effectively evaluate the ongoing performance of our self-storage portfolio in 2020, 2021, and 2022 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 of these 2,282 facilities (149.5 million net rentable square feet) that represent approximately 74% of the aggregate net rentable square feet of our U.S. consolidated self-storage portfolio at September 30, 2022 (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 2,282 Same Store Facilities, we have 554 facilities that were not stabilized with respect to occupancies, revenues, or cost of operations since January 1, 2020 or that we did not own as of January 1, 2020, including 338 facilities that were acquired, 59 newly developed facilities, 91 facilities that have been expanded or are targeted for expansion, and 66 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 September 30, 2022 Form 10-Q.

Investing and Capital Activities

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we acquired 24 self-storage facilities (ten in Oklahoma, three in South Carolina, two each in Alabama and Texas, and one each in Arizona, Florida, Iowa, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina and Ohio) with 1.7 million net rentable square feet for $250.6 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we acquired 44 self-storage facilities (ten in Oklahoma, seven in Texas, four in North Carolina, three in South Carolina, two each in Alabama, Arizona, Florida, Maryland and Nevada, and one each in Colorado, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Minnesota, New Jersey, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Tennessee) with 3.2 million net rentable square feet for $501.9 million.

Additionally, on July 8, 2022, we acquired from PSB the commercial interests in five properties at three sites jointly occupied with our self-storage facilities located in Maryland and Virginia, for $47.3 million.

Subsequent to September 30, 2022, we acquired or were under contract to acquire 33 self-storage facilities across six states with 1.7 million net rentable square feet, for $262.6 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. These facilities generated revenues of $74.7 million, NOI of $59.0 million (including Direct NOI of $61.1 million), and average square footage occupancy of 90.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

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 $57.3 million, NOI of $33.5 million (including Direct NOI of $35.7 million), and average square footage occupancy of 79.3% for the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

During the three months ended September 30, 2022, we opened five newly developed facilities and completed various expansion projects (0.5 million net rentable square feet – 0.1 million each in Florida, Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan and Texas) costing $69.7 million. During nine months ended September 30, 2022, we opened five newly developed facilities and completed various expansion projects (0.9 million net rentable square feet – 0.2 million each in Florida and Minnesota, and 0.1 million each in Illinois, Kentucky, Michigan, New Jersey and Texas) costing $126.0 million. At September 30, 2022, we had various facilities in development (2.1 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $421.0 million and various expansion projects (3.0 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $590.9 million. Our aggregate 5.1 million net rentable square foot pipeline of development and expansion facilities includes 1.8 million in California, 0.6 million in Texas, 0.5 million in Florida, 0.4 million in Maryland, 0.3 million in Washington, 0.2 million each in Hawaii, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey and New York, and 0.5 million in other states. The remaining $605.5 million of development costs for these projects is expected to be incurred primarily in the next 18 to 24 months.

On April 24, 2022, PSB entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger whereby affiliates of Blackstone agreed to acquire all outstanding shares of PSB’s common stock for $187.50 per share in cash. On July 20, 2022, PSB announced that it completed the merger transaction with Blackstone. Each share of PSB common stock and each common unit of partnership interest we held in PSB were converted into the right to receive the merger consideration of $187.50 per share or unit, including a $5.25 closing cash dividend per share or unit, and a $0.22 prorated quarterly cash dividend per share or unit, for a total of $187.72 per share or unit. At the close of the merger transaction, we received a total of $2.7 billion of cash proceeds and recognized a gain of $2.1 billion, which was classified within gain on sale of our equity investment in PS Business Parks, Inc. in the Consolidated Statement of Income.

In connection with the sale of our equity investment in PSB, on August 4, 2022, we paid a special cash dividend of $13.15 per common share, totaling approximately $2.3 billion, to shareholders of record as of August 1, 2022.

On August 15, 2022, the Company redeemed its 2.370% Senior Notes due September 15, 2022, with an aggregate principal amount of $500.0 million.

Distributions Declared

On October 26, 2022, our Board of Trustees declared a regular common quarterly dividend of $2.00 per common share. The Board also declared dividends with respect to our various series of preferred shares. All the dividends are payable on December 29, 2022 to shareholders of record as of December 14, 2022.

Outlook for the Year Ending December 31, 2022

The following table outlines the Company’s Core FFO per share estimate and certain underlying assumptions for the year ending December 31, 2022, including the impact of the sale of our investment in PSB to Blackstone on July 20, 2022:

		Guidance Ranges for 2022
		Low	High
		(Amounts in thousands, except per share data)
Same Store:
Revenue growth		13.50%	15.00%
Expense growth		6.00%	8.00%
Net operating income growth		15.40%	18.00%
Acquisitions		$800,000
Development openings		$250,000
Non-Same Store net operating income		$500,000	$510,000
Ancillary net operating income		$160,000	$165,000
General and administrative expense		$105,000	$111,000
Interest expense		$140,000
Preferred dividends		$195,000
Capital expenditures		$400,000	$450,000
Core FFO per share (before the impact of the sale of PSB)		$15.57	$15.97
Impact of the sale of PSB		(0.22)	(0.22)
Core FFO per share		$15.35	$15.75
Incremental Non-Same Store NOI to stabilization (2023 and beyond)		$157,000

Forward-looking Core FFO per share measures exclude estimates for the impact of (i) foreign currency exchange gains and losses, (ii) charges related to the redemption of preferred securities, and (iii) certain other significant non-cash and/or nonrecurring income or expense items such as loss contingency accruals, casualties, transactional due diligence, and advisory costs. Public Storage is unable to provide a reconciliation of Core FFO per share guidance measures to corresponding U.S. GAAP measures on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable effort due to the overall high variability of most of the foregoing items that have been excluded. The items that are being excluded are difficult to predict and a reconciliation could result in disclosure that would be imprecise or potentially misleading. Material changes to any one of these items could have a significant effect on our guidance and future U.S. GAAP results.

(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.
(b)		A special dividend of $13.15 per common share was paid on August 4, 2022, in connection with the gain on sale of our equity investment in PSB on July 20, 2022.
(c)		Supplemental payout ratio, excluding the impact of the special dividend, which was due to the gain on sale of our equity investment in PSB. This supplemental measure is presented to portray regular dividends, because FAD excludes the gain on sale of our equity investment in PSB.

(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 in 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.
