Insights

Global Self Storage delivered a strong Q3 2024 with notable improvements across key metrics. Revenue increased 3.6% to $3.2 million, while net income surged 336% to $1.2 million. The company's same-store metrics outperformed peers, with occupancy rising to 91.5% and NOI growing 6.3%.

The balance sheet remains solid with $25.1 million in capital resources, including $15 million available through a renewed credit facility. The maintained quarterly dividend of $0.0725 per share appears well-covered by AFFO of $0.10 per share.

While Q3 showed impressive growth, the year-to-date performance reveals some pressure points, with nine-month FFO declining 11.5% and AFFO down 8.5%. However, efficient cost management and strong occupancy trends suggest potential for continued improvement in coming quarters.

The operational excellence demonstrated in Q3 is particularly noteworthy given the challenging self-storage market conditions. The 170 basis point increase in occupancy to 91.5%, coupled with reduced marketing expenses, indicates highly effective property management strategies. The average tenant duration of 3.4 years exceeds industry norms, suggesting strong tenant quality and reduced turnover costs.

The company's focus on secondary and tertiary markets with new supply presents a strategic advantage, potentially insulating it from oversupply pressures affecting primary markets. The property portfolio's performance, particularly in same-store metrics, demonstrates the effectiveness of their market positioning and revenue management programs.

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.

Management Commentary

"In Q3, our same-store revenue growth led our peer group of publicly traded self-storage REITs," stated Global Self Storage president and CEO, Mark C. Winmill. "We also led our peer group in same-store occupancy growth and NOI growth despite a continuing competitive move-in rate environment.

"We attribute these peer leading results to our targeted digital and local marketing activities that are combined with our operational excellence and professional competitive pricing strategies. These initiatives resulted in overall same-store occupancy at the end of the third quarter increasing by a peer-leading 170 basis points to a 91.5% occupancy rate at the end of the third quarter.

"This occupancy growth is even more impressive when considering that our marketing expenses decreased by 5.4% in the third quarter versus the same year-ago period. It truly underscores the efficiency and effectiveness of our well-tuned marketing strategies.

"Our third quarter results also reflect the benefits our newly designed website that we relaunched in Q4 of last year. The redesigned site features an enhanced user interface designed for better visitor engagement and greater attention to our now more than 3,200 tenant reviews that highlight the superior tenant value we deliver.

"To further strengthen this positive message, during the third quarter we launched a new video reviews section on the customer reviews page of our website. We believe our reviews are a valuable asset that demonstrates the strength of our highly effective customer-focused management approach. Our reviews consistently reflect a high level of satisfaction, with an average rating of more than 4.8 out of 5 stars.

"While our commitment to exceptional customer service and innovative marketing strategies help garner positive reviews, we believe more importantly these efforts also help us attract high-quality tenants who tend to store with us longer than the industry average. In fact, at the close of the third quarter, our peer-leading same-store average tenant duration of stay was approximately 3.4 years, an increase from approximately 3.3 years a year ago.

"We remain confident that our professional management techniques will continue to maximize revenue and NOI growth in our self storage portfolio. We also believe our pleasant, clean, safe and hassle-free rental process delivers the best customer experience in the industry, and that our proven marketing strategies will continue to draw high-quality tenants that drive favorable stockholder returns.

"Our strong balance sheet-which includes capital resources totaling approximately $25.1 million-enables us to pursue growth through self-storage property acquisitions, joint ventures, and expansion of existing properties. We continue to explore opportunities in secondary and tertiary markets in select regions of the U.S. and non-U.S. markets. These markets continue to experience limited supply growth as well as less competition from other professionally managed self-storage operators.

"Looking ahead, we expect to continue to integrate new technologies that enable us to maximize revenue. We also plan to take further steps to control expenses. We currently believe these efforts will have a positive effect in the current quarter and make an even more meaningful impact in 2025 and beyond.

"We will remain 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."

Q3 2024 Financial Summary

Total revenues increased 3.6% to $3.2 million in the third 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 partially offset by lower move-in rental rates which were in line with lower rates across U.S. markets.

Total operating expenses increased 2.9% to $2.33 million compared to $2.26 million in the same year-ago period. The increase was attributable to an increase in general and administrative expenses which resulted from an increase in professional fees and employment costs. The increase in total operating expenses was partially offset by a decrease in store-level operating expenses.

Operating income increased 5.4% to $873,000, as compared to $829,000 in the same period last year, which was primarily due to increased total revenues combined with decreased store operating expenses.

Net income increased to $1.2 million or $0.10 per diluted share from $271,000 or $0.02 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.

Capital resources totaled approximately $25.1 million, comprised of $6.9 million in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash and $3.2 million in marketable securities as of September 30, 2024, and $15 million remains available under the company's revolving credit facility.

Q3 2024 Same-Store Results

For the third quarter of 2024, same-store revenues increased 3.6% to $3.2 million compared to the same period last year.

Same-store cost of operations decreased 0.8% to $1.15 million compared to $1.16 million in the same period last year. This decrease in same-store cost of operations was due primarily to decreased expenses for real estate property taxes, and to a lesser extent decreased expenses for repairs and maintenance, administrative, marketing and utilities.

Same-store NOI increased 6.3% to $2.0 million compared to $1.9 million in the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to an increase in revenues and a decrease in cost of operations.

Same-store occupancy at September 30, 2024 increased to 91.5% from 89.8% at September 30, 2023.

Same-store average duration of tenant stay at September 30, 2024 was approximately 3.4 years compared to approximately 3.3 years at September 30, 2023.

AFFO increased 2.2% to $1.2 million or $0.10 per diluted share compared to AFFO of $1.1 million or $0.10 per diluted share in the same period last year.

First Nine Months 2024 Financial Summary

For the first nine months of 2024, total revenues increased 1.4% to $9.3 million, as compared to $9.2 million in the same period last year. This increase was due primarily to increased occupancies and increases in existing tenant rates under the company's revenue rate management program.

Total operating expenses in the first nine months of 2024 increased 6.8% to $7.2 million, as compared to $6.8 million in the same period last year.

For the first nine months of 2024, same-store revenues increased 1.5% to $9.3 million compared to $9.2 million in the same period last year. This increase was due primarily to increased occupancies and increases in existing tenant rates under the company's revenue rate management program.

Same-store cost of operations in the first nine months increased 5.4% to $3.6 million compared to $3.4 million in the same period last year. This increase in same-store cost of operations was due primarily to increased expenses for direct store costs, and to a lesser extent expenses for employment, landscaping, administrative, real estate property tax and lien administration. The increase in same-store cost of operations was partially offset by decreased repairs and maintenance, utilities and marketing expenses.

Same-store NOI decreased 0.7% to $5.74 million in the first nine months of 2024, compared to $5.78 million in the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to more muted revenue growth and increased cost of operations.

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 September 30, 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, 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.
