Insights

Global Self Storage delivered mixed but generally positive results for 2024, with strong Q4 momentum offsetting weaker full-year comparisons. The 7.1% revenue growth in Q4 and 11.2% NOI growth highlight the company's improving operational efficiency, particularly impressive given industry headwinds on move-in rates.

The company's peer-leading 360 basis point occupancy improvement to 92.9% demonstrates the effectiveness of their proprietary revenue management system and marketing strategies. Their 3.4-year average tenant duration continues to provide stable recurring revenue, a crucial metric for self-storage REITs that reduces turnover costs.

However, full-year results show some concerns. Despite record revenues, FFO declined 5.8% and AFFO decreased 2.8% year-over-year, indicating cost pressures affecting bottom-line performance. Operating expenses increased 6.1% for the year, outpacing revenue growth of 2.8%.

The company maintains a solid financial position with $24.8 million in capital resources and no reported debt concerns. The $0.0725 quarterly dividend (5.7% yield at current price) appears well-supported by AFFO.

Looking forward, Global Self Storage seems well-positioned to continue outperforming peers on key metrics, though investors should monitor expense growth and its impact on FFO/AFFO conversion rates.

Global Self Storage's Q4 results showcase a return to operational momentum after a challenging year. The company's ability to achieve record revenues while leading peers in same-store metrics demonstrates strong execution of their differentiated strategy in a competitive environment.

The 11.2% same-store NOI growth in Q4 signals effective cost control and revenue optimization, critical for self-storage REITs where incremental margin improvements drive significant value. Their high-quality tenant base (reflected in the 3.4-year duration) creates a more predictable revenue stream compared to industry averages, reducing marketing costs and rate volatility.

The extension of their $15 million credit facility strengthens their capital formation strategy, providing flexibility for opportunistic acquisitions in what may become a more favorable pricing environment. However, the lackluster full-year FFO/AFFO performance raises questions about scalability and operating leverage.

While the 360 basis point occupancy gain is impressive, the company must balance rate optimization with occupancy to maximize revenue per square foot. The divergence between revenue growth (2.8%) and operating expense increase (6.1%) over the full year requires attention, as expense control will be crucial to improving FFO conversion rates.

SELF's valuation metrics and dividend coverage ratio remain reasonable compared to larger self-storage REITs, potentially offering value for investors seeking exposure to this defensive sector with above-average income potential.

Toward this end, the company will continue to execute its strategic business plan, which includes funding acquisitions, either directly or through joint ventures, and expansion projects at its existing properties. The company's board of directors regularly reviews the strategic business plan, with emphasis on capital formation, debt versus equity ratios, dividend policy, use of capital and debt, FFO and AFFO performance, and optimal cash levels.

The management of Global Self Storage believes that the company's continued operational performance and capital resources position it well to continue executing its strategic business plan.

Management Commentary

"In 2024, we achieved record total revenues, same-store revenues, and net operating income which was driven by operational excellence," stated Global Self Storage president and CEO, Mark C. Winmill. "We also led our publicly traded self-storage peers on growth of same-store revenues, NOI, and occupancy for the fourth quarter and full year of 2024 despite the competitive environment for move-in rates. Our overall same-store occupancy at the end of the year increased by a peer-leading 360 basis points to 92.9%.

"We believe these peer-leading results were driven by our professional management techniques, including our well-honed digital and local marketing strategies and proprietary revenue rate management program.

"Also contributing to this high level of performance is our redesigned Global Self Storage website that was launched just before the beginning of last year. The site's enhanced user interface encourages more active visitor engagement and brings greater attention to our more than 3,500 tenant reviews that express the superior value we deliver. Our reviews consistently reflect a high level of tenant satisfaction, with an average rating of more than 4.8 out of 5 stars.

"Our innovative marketing strategies and commitment to exceptional customer service has helped us to continue to attract high-quality tenants and particularly those who will store with us for longer than the industry average. In fact, our peer-leading same-store average tenant duration of stay of approximately 3.4 years remained consistent compared to the end of last year.

"Our strong balance sheet, with about $24.8 million in capital resources, positions us well to execute our strategic business plan. This plan includes growth through acquisitions, joint ventures, and expansion in select U.S. and non-U.S. markets that exhibit limited supply growth and less competition.

"As we progress through 2025, we anticipate that the demand generated by our strategic marketing efforts will help maintain our occupancy levels despite any potential economic headwinds. We believe that our proven marketing strategies, hassle-free rental process, and professional management will maximize revenue, NOI growth, and stockholder returns over the long term."

Q4 2024 Financial Summary

Total revenues increased 7.1% to $3.2 million in the fourth quarter of 2024, with the increase due primarily to an increase in occupancy and continued execution of the company's proprietary revenue rate management program, despite lower move-in rental rates which were observed across U.S. markets.

Total operating expenses increased 4.2% to $2.4 million compared to $2.3 million in the same year-ago period. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in general and administrative expenses which resulted from an increase in employment costs and certain professional fees.

Operating income increased 16.8% to $794,000, compared to $680,000 in the same period last year, with the increase primarily due to increased total revenues.

Net income totaled $84,000 or $0.01 per diluted share from $1.1 million or $0.10 per diluted share in the same year-ago period. Contributing to the decrease was an unrealized loss in marketable equity securities compared to an unrealized gain in the same year-ago period.

Capital resources totaled approximately $24.8 million, comprised of $7.2 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $2.6 million in marketable securities as of December 31, 2024, with the full amount available under the company's $15 million revolving credit facility.

Same-store cost of operations increased 0.8% to $1.18 million compared to $1.17 million in the same period last year. This increase in same-store cost of operations was due primarily to increased administrative expenses, and to a lesser extent increased expenses for repairs and maintenance, marketing and utilities.

Business development costs were zero for the quarter compared to $9,000 in the same period last year.

Interest expense decreased to $205,000 from $227,000 in the year-ago period. This decrease was attributable to the change in fair value of the interest rate cap and the decrease in cash settlements under the interest rate cap.

Full Year 2024 Financial Summary

For the full year 2024, total revenues increased 2.8% to $12.5 million as compared to $12.2 million in the previous year. The increase was due primarily to increased occupancy and increases in existing tenant rates under the company's proprietary revenue rate management program.

Total operating expenses in 2024 increased 6.1% to $9.6 million, as compared to $9.1 million in the previous year. The increase was attributed primarily to an increase in store level expenses and general and administrative expenses.

This increase in same-store cost of operations was due primarily to increased expenses for employment, administrative, repairs and maintenance, and insurance. The increase in same-store cost of operations was partially offset by decreased real estate property tax and utility expenses.

Same-store NOI increased 2.1% to $7.7 million in 2024, compared to $7.6 million in prior year. The increase was primarily due to revenue growth.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from Operations ("FFO") and FFO per share are non-GAAP measures defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and are considered helpful measures of REIT performance by REITs and many REIT analysts. NAREIT defines FFO as a REIT's net income, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, and adding back real estate depreciation and amortization. The Company also excludes unrealized gains on marketable equity securities and gains relating to PPP loan forgiveness. FFO and FFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. FFO is not a substitute for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends because it excludes 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. However, the Company believes that to further understand the performance of its stores, FFO should be considered along with the net income and cash flows reported in accordance with GAAP and as presented in the Company's financial statements.

Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") and AFFO per share are non-GAAP measures that represent FFO and FFO per share excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, business development, capital raising, and acquisition related costs and non-recurring items, which we believe are not indicative of the Company's operating results. AFFO and AFFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. AFFO is not a substitute for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends because it excludes financing activities presented on our statements of cash flows. We present AFFO because we believe it is a helpful measure in understanding our results of operations insofar as we believe that the items noted above that are included in FFO, but excluded from AFFO, are not indicative of our ongoing operating results. We also believe that the analyst community considers our AFFO (or similar measures using different terminology) when evaluating us. Because other REITs or real estate companies may not compute AFFO in the same manner as we do, and may use different terminology, our computation of AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies. However, the Company believes that to further understand the performance of its stores, AFFO should be considered along with the net income and cash flows reported in accordance with GAAP and as presented in the Company's financial statements.

We believe net operating income or "NOI" is a meaningful measure of operating performance because we utilize NOI in making decisions with respect to, among other things, capital allocations, determining current store values, evaluating store performance, and in comparing period-to-period and market-to-market store operating results. In addition, we believe the investment community utilizes NOI in determining operating performance and real estate values and does not consider depreciation expense because it is based upon historical cost. NOI is defined as net store earnings before general and administrative expenses, interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.

NOI is not a substitute for net income, net operating cash flow, or other related GAAP financial measures in evaluating our operating results.

Same-Store Self Storage Operations Definition

We consider our same-store portfolio to consist of only those stores owned and operated on a stabilized basis at the beginning and at the end of the applicable periods presented. We consider a store to be stabilized once it has achieved an occupancy rate that we believe, based on our assessment of market-specific data, is representative of similar self storage assets in the applicable market for a full year measured as of the most recent January 1 and has not been significantly damaged by natural disaster or undergone significant renovation or expansion. We believe that same-store results are useful to investors in evaluating our performance because they provide information relating to changes in store-level operating performance without taking into account the effects of acquisitions, dispositions or new ground-up developments. As of December 31, 2024, we owned 12 same-store properties and zero non-same-store properties. The Company believes that by providing same-store results from a stabilized pool of stores, with accompanying operating metrics including, but not limited to, variances in occupancy, rental revenue, operating expenses, NOI, 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.

All forward-looking statements by the company involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the company, which may cause the company's actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such statements. The company may also make additional forward-looking statements from time to time. All such subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, by the company or on its behalf, are also expressly qualified by these cautionary statements. Investors should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties, and other factors, together with all of the other information included in the company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and similar information. All forward-looking statements, including without limitation, the company's examination of historical operating trends and estimates of future earnings, are based upon the company's current expectations and various assumptions. The company's expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith, but there can be no assurance that the company's expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved. All forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events. The amount, nature, and/or frequency of dividends paid by the company may be changed at any time without notice.
