Insights

Global Self Storage's Q2 2024 results show mixed performance. While total revenues increased by 0.7% to $3.1 million and net income rose by 2.3% to $592,000, there are some concerning trends:

  • Same-store NOI decreased by 2.7% to $1.9 million
  • FFO decreased by 16.4% to $0.9 million
  • AFFO decreased by 13.2% to $1.0 million

The company's ability to increase occupancy to 93.0% from 90.5% year-over-year is positive, but this came at the expense of lower move-in rates. The 7.4% increase in same-store cost of operations is concerning and could pressure margins if revenue growth remains muted.

Global Self Storage's performance reflects broader challenges in the self-storage sector. The company's peer-leading same-store revenue growth of 0.9% is commendable given the competitive environment. However, the decrease in FFO and AFFO suggests potential pressure on the company's ability to fund future growth and maintain its dividend.

The extension of the $15 million revolving credit facility provides financial flexibility, but the company's $24.8 million in total capital resources may limit large-scale acquisitions. The focus on optimizing existing properties through targeted marketing and pricing strategies appears to be yielding results, as evidenced by the occupancy improvements. Investors should monitor the company's ability to balance occupancy gains with revenue growth in the coming quarters.

The self-storage market is facing headwinds due to a muted housing market and general economic challenges. Global Self Storage's ability to outperform peers in same-store revenue and occupancy growth demonstrates effective management strategies. The company's digital marketing initiatives and focus on customer service (as evidenced by high tenant reviews) are proving effective in a competitive landscape.

However, the industry-wide trend of lower move-in rates is a concern. The company's average tenant duration of 3.3 years provides some stability, but the pressure on rental rates could persist if economic conditions don't improve. The self-storage sector's performance is often tied to life events and economic activity, so investors should closely monitor macroeconomic trends and their potential impact on demand and pricing power in the coming quarters.

Company Objective

The objective of the company is to increase value over time for the benefit of its stockholders. 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

"Our second quarter same-store revenue growth was up modestly from the same period last year, but the percentage growth led our peer group of publicly traded self-storage REITs," stated Global Self Storage president and CEO, Mark C. Winmill.

"This was achieved despite a more competitive move-in rate environment being driven by lower demand resulting from the muted housing market and general economic headwinds. Altogether, this has led to lower year-over-year move-in rental rates for self-storage providers across U.S. markets.

"We attribute our notable same-store occupancy growth to our targeted digital and local marketing initiatives, which have proved cost effective. These initiatives helped to increase overall same-store occupancy at the end of the second quarter by a peer-leading growth of 2.5% to approximately 93.0% at the end of the second quarter. This growth is even more impressive when considering that our marketing expenses decreased by 15.2% in the second quarter as compared to the same period last year.

"Since the end of the second quarter, this overall same-store occupancy has continued to improve, increasing 1.2 percentage points to 94.2% as of July 31, 2024. These gains continue to be driven by the combination of our digital and local marketing campaigns and competitive pricing strategies.

"The increased occupancy also helped drive growth in other property related income (such as from tenant insurance), which increased overall by 10.3% over the same year-ago quarter.

"We have also continued to realize benefits from the relaunch of our website at the end of last year. The redesigned site features an enhanced user interface designed for better engagement and awareness of our now more than 3,100 tenant reviews. Our reviews are a tremendous asset, with a combined average rating of more than 4.8 out of 5 stars. These reviews reflect the strength of our customer service-centric approach to management.

"Our robust balance sheet, including capital resources currently totaling approximately $24.8 million, enables us to pursue growth through self-storage property acquisitions, joint ventures, and expansion of our existing properties. We continue to explore opportunities in select regions across the U.S., particularly where we find supply growth is limited and competition from other professionally managed operators is generally less.

"We are focused especially on opportunities where we can apply our professional management techniques to optimize occupancy, revenue generation, and NOI. Our strong track record of operational performance-even under challenging economic conditions-positions us well to execute our strategic business plan and continue to build value for our stockholders over the long term."

Q2 2024 Financial Summary

Total revenues increased 0.7% to $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2024, with the increase due primarily to increases in occupancy and existing tenant rates under the company's proprietary revenue rate management program. The increase was offset by lower move-in rental rates.

Total operating expenses increased 7.1% to $2.5 million compared to $2.3 million in the same year-ago period. The increase was attributable to an increase in store level expenses and general and administrative expenses. The increase in store level operating expenses was due primarily to increased expenses for employment costs and property insurance. The increase in total operating expenses was partially offset by a decrease in marketing expense.

Operating income decreased 18.3% to $636,000, as compared to $778,000 in the same period last year, which was primarily due to increased total expenses.

Net income increased to $592,000 or $0.05 per diluted share from $578,000 or $0.05 per diluted share in the same year-ago period. Contributing to the increase was an unrealized gain in marketable equity securities compared to an unrealized loss in the same year-ago period.

Current capital resources total approximately $24.8 million, comprised of $7.1 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $2.7 million in marketable securities as of June 30, 2024; and $15 million available under the company's revolving credit facility.

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 changes in unrealized gains or losses on marketable equity securities. 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. At June 30, 2024, we owned twelve 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, and NOI, 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.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Certain information presented in this press release may contain "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws including, but not limited to, the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward looking statements include statements concerning the company's plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions, and other information that is not historical information. In some cases, forward looking statements can be identified by terminology such as "believes," "plans," "intends," "expects," "estimates," "may," "will," "should," "anticipates," or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. 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.
