Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2022

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $603.4 million or $3.42 per diluted common share, compared to $346.2 million or $1.97 per diluted common share in 2021, representing an increase of $257.2 million or $1.45 per diluted common share. The increase is due primarily to (i) a $160.9 million increase in self-storage net operating income, (ii) a $114.4 million increase in foreign currency exchange gains primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable, (iii) a $21.1 million increase in our equity share of gains on sale of real estate recorded by our unconsolidated real estate entities, and (iv) a $17.0 million decrease in allocations to preferred shareholders with respect to redemption of preferred shares, partially offset by (v) a $46.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense and (vi) a $10.9 million increase in interest expense.

The $160.9 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 is a result of a $95.7 million increase attributable to our Same Store Facilities and a $65.2 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities (as defined below). Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 15.9% or $108.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per available square foot. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 7.6% or $12.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021, due primarily to increased property tax expense, on-site property manager payroll expense, marketing expense, other direct property costs, and centralized management costs. The increase in net operating income of $65.2 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 Six Months Ended June 30, 2022

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $1,067.5 million or $6.05 per diluted common share, compared to $732.1 million or $4.18 per diluted common share in 2021, representing an increase of $335.4 million or $1.87 per diluted common share. The increase is due primarily to (i) a $328.2 million increase in self-storage net operating income, (ii) a $104.4 million increase in foreign currency exchange gains primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable, (iii) a $44.7 million increase in our equity share of gains on sale of real estate recorded by our unconsolidated real estate entities, and (iv) a $17.0 million decrease in allocations to preferred shareholders with respect to redemption of preferred shares, partially offset by (v) a $121.2 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense and (vi) a $28.8 million increase in interest expense.

The $328.2 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 is a result of a $191.3 million increase attributable to our Same Store Facilities and a $136.9 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 15.9% or $210.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 2021, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per available square foot. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 5.5% or $19.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 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 $136.9 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

For the three months ended June 30, 2022, funds from operations (“FFO”) was $4.58 per diluted common share as compared to $2.99 in the same period in 2021, representing an increase of 53.2%. FFO is a non-GAAP measure defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and generally represents net income before depreciation and amortization expense, gains and losses and impairment charges with respect to real estate assets. A reconciliation of GAAP diluted net income per share to FFO per share, and additional descriptive information regarding this non-GAAP measure, is attached.

For the six months ended June 30, 2022, FFO was $8.41 per diluted common share, as compared to $6.07 in the same period in 2021, representing an increase of 38.6%.

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, 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 75% of the aggregate net rentable square feet of our U.S. consolidated self-storage portfolio at June 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 525 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 314 facilities that were acquired, 54 newly developed facilities, 91 facilities that have been expanded or are targeted for expansion, and 66 facilities that are unstabilized because they are under 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 June 30, 2022 Form 10-Q.

Investing and Capital Activities

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we acquired ten self-storage facilities (two each in North Carolina and Texas, and one each in Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Oregon, and Tennessee) with 0.7 million net rentable square feet for $123.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we acquired 20 self-storage facilities (five in Texas, three in North Carolina, two in Maryland, and one each in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Minnesota, Nevada, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Tennessee) with 1.5 million net rentable square feet for $251.3 million.

Subsequent to June 30, 2022, we acquired or were under contract to acquire 24 self-storage facilities across ten states with 1.7 million net rentable square feet, for $257.4 million. Additionally, on July 8, 2022, we acquired the commercial interests of PS Business Parks, Inc. (“PSB”) at three sites, totaling five properties, jointly occupied with our self-storage facilities located in Maryland and Virginia, for $47 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, which includes 47 self-storage facilities and a property that was under construction. These facilities generated revenues of $48.7 million, NOI of $38.3 million (including Direct NOI of $39.7 million), and average square footage occupancy of 89.7% for the six months ended June 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, with 55 properties closed in the fourth quarter of 2021 and one property closed in February 2022. These facilities generated revenues of $35.2 million, NOI of $21.4 million (including Direct NOI of $22.8 million), and average square footage occupancy of 78.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we completed various expansion projects (0.3 million net rentable square feet – 0.2 million in Minnesota and 0.1 million in Florida) costing $36.9 million. During six months ended June 30, 2022, we completed various expansion projects (0.4 million net rentable square feet – 0.2 million in Minnesota, 0.1 million in Florida and 0.1 million in other states) costing $56.3 million. At June 30, 2022, we had various facilities in development (2.6 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $480.3 million and various expansion projects (2.8 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $547.0 million. Our aggregate 5.4 million net rentable square foot pipeline of development and expansion facilities includes 1.6 million in California, 0.7 million in Texas, 0.6 million in Florida, 0.5 million in Maryland, 0.3 million Washington, 0.2 million each in Hawaii, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, and New York, and 0.7 million in other states. The remaining $647.3 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 Real Estate ("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 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 $2.1 billion gain on the sale of our equity investment in PSB in the Consolidated Statement of Income for the third quarter of 2022.

In connection with the sale of our equity investment in PSB, on July 22, 2022, our Board of Trustees declared a special cash dividend of $13.15 per common share. The special dividend is payable on August 4, 2022 to shareholders of record as of August 1, 2022.

On July 26, 2022, the Company called for redemption on August 15, 2022 its 2.370% Senior Notes, with an aggregate outstanding principal amount of $500.0 million, due September 15, 2022.

Distributions Declared

On August 3, 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 September 29, 2022 to shareholders of record as of September 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 estimates for 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	12.00%	15.00%
Expense growth	6.00%	8.00%
Net operating income growth	13.40%	18.00%

Non-Same Store net operating income	$480,000	$500,000
Ancillary net operating income	$155,000	$160,000
General and administrative expense	$105,000	$111,000
Interest expense	$133,000
Preferred dividends	$195,000
Capital expenditures	$300,000
Core FFO per share (before the impact of the sale of PSB)	$15.22	$15.92
Impact of the sale of PSB	(0.22)	(0.22)
Core FFO per share	$15.00	$15.70
Incremental Non-Same Store NOI to stabilization (2023 and beyond)	$172,000

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)		FFO and FFO per share are non-GAAP measures defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and, along with the non-GAAP measure FAD, are considered helpful measures of REIT performance by REITs and many REIT analysts. FFO represents GAAP net income before depreciation and amortization, real estate gains or losses and impairment charges, which are excluded because they are based upon historical costs and assume that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions. 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. FFO and FFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. FFO and FAD are not substitutes for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because they exclude investing and financing activities presented on our statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITs may compute these measures 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 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.
