National Storage Affiliates Trust Reports Third Quarter 2020 Results

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- National Storage Affiliates Trust ("NSA" or the "Company") (NYSE: NSA) today reported the Company’s third quarter 2020 results.

Third Quarter 2020 Highlights

  • Reported net income of $21.4 million for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 29.7% compared to the third quarter of 2019. Reported diluted earnings per share of $0.15 for the third quarter of 2020, primarily relating to the HLBV method for allocating net income among the various classes of equity.
  • Reported core funds from operations ("Core FFO") of $44.0 million, or $0.44 per share for the third quarter of 2020, an increase of 10.0% per share compared to the third quarter of 2019.
  • Reported an increase in same store net operating income ("NOI") of 0.2% for the third quarter of 2020 compared to the same period in 2019, driven by a 0.4% decrease in same store property operating expenses while same store total revenues were unchanged.
  • Reported same store period-end occupancy of 91.9% as of September 30, 2020, an increase of 260 basis points compared to September 30, 2019.
  • Acquired four wholly-owned self storage properties for $23.8 million during the third quarter of 2020. Capital sources for the acquisition activity included the issuance of approximately $3.4 million of OP equity to sellers and $6.3 million of common equity raised under the Company’s at the market, or ATM, program at a combined weighted average price of $33.71 per share/unit, as well as borrowings under the Company’s revolving line of credit.
  • Completed an underwritten public offering of 4,500,000 common shares of beneficial interest under forward sale agreements at a public offering price of $33.15 per share. Subsequent to quarter-end, the underwriters exercised a portion of their option to purchase an additional 400,000 of the Company's common shares for a total offering of 4,900,000 common shares that the Company expects to result in proceeds of approximately $160 million, assuming full physical settlement of the forward sale agreements.

Highlights Subsequent to Quarter-End

  • Issued $150.0 million of 2.99% senior unsecured notes due August 5, 2030 and $100.0 million of 3.09% senior unsecured notes due August 5, 2032 in a private placement, completing the offering that was announced August 6, 2020.

Tamara Fischer, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "The team did a great job pulling together to execute our COVID management plan, delivering year-over-year growth in Core FFO per share of 10% for the quarter. Our strong results, highlighted by positive growth in same store NOI and increased occupancy of 260bps year-over-year at the end of the quarter, allowed us to increase our quarterly dividend by $0.01 per share, or 6.3% on an annualized basis. Because of the resilience demonstrated by the self storage sector, we are reinstating guidance for the remainder of 2020, and now believe that we will end the year with Core FFO per share of $1.66 to $1.68, with the midpoint being up 8.4% above 2019. We have also been pleased to see increased opportunities ahead for growth via acquisitions, so we opportunistically accessed the capital markets by executing a forward equity transaction which provides us the flexibility to continue to execute on our growth strategy as we close out 2020 and look forward to 2021."

Net income increased $4.9 million for the third quarter of 2020 and $7.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 ("year-to-date") as compared to the same periods in 2019. The increase for the third quarter of 2020 resulted primarily from additional NOI generated from the 51 wholly-owned self storage properties acquired between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2020 and earnings from the Company's unconsolidated real estate ventures partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization and interest expense. The year-to-date increase was the result of additional NOI generated from the 51 wholly-owned self storage properties acquired between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2020 and a decrease in GAAP losses from the Company's unconsolidated real estate ventures partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization, interest expense and a decrease in gains from the sale of self storage properties.

The increases in FFO and Core FFO for the third quarter of 2020 and year-to-date were primarily the result of incremental NOI from properties acquired between October 1, 2019 and September 30, 2020 and decreases in distributions to subordinated performance unitholders.

Year-over-year same store total revenues were unchanged for the third quarter of 2020 and increased 0.6% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2019. Third quarter 2020 average occupancy increased 100 basis points and average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot decreased 1.4%. The year-to-date increase in same store total revenue was driven primarily by a 0.3% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot partially offset by a 10 basis point decrease in average occupancy. Markets which generated above portfolio average same store total revenue growth include: Oklahoma City, Phoenix, and Kansas City. Markets which generated below portfolio average same store total revenue growth include: Portland, Dallas and Los Angeles.

Year-over-year same store property operating expenses decreased 0.4% for the third quarter of 2020 and increased 0.2% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2019. The decrease for the third quarter of 2020 primarily resulted from decreases in personnel costs and utilities expenses, partially offset by increases in property taxes. The year-to-date increase was driven primarily by an increase in property taxes partially offset by decreases in utilities and repairs & maintenance expenses.

Investment Activity

During the third quarter, NSA invested approximately $23.8 million in the acquisition of four self storage properties consisting of approximately 0.3 million rentable square feet configured in approximately 2,100 storage units. Total consideration for these acquisitions included approximately $20.2 million of net cash, the issuance of approximately $0.8 million of OP units and $2.6 million of subordinated performance units and the assumption of approximately $0.2 million of other working capital liabilities.

Balance Sheet

In September 2020, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 4,500,000 common shares of beneficial interest under forward sale agreements at a public offering price of $33.15 per share. Subsequent to quarter-end, the underwriters exercised a portion of their option to purchase an additional 400,000 of the Company's common shares for a total offering of 4,900,000 common shares that the Company expects to result in net proceeds of approximately $160 million, assuming full physical settlement of the forward sale agreements. The Company expects to settle the forward sale agreements prior to March 22, 2021 via the issuance and physical delivery of the Company's common shares in exchange for cash proceeds, although the Company may elect cash settlement or net share settlement for all or a portion of its obligations under the forward sale agreements, subject to certain conditions.

On October 22, 2020, the Company's operating partnership issued $150.0 million of 2.99% senior unsecured notes due August 5, 2030 and $100.0 million of 3.09% senior unsecured notes due August 5, 2032 (the "Senior Unsecured Notes") in a private placement to certain institutional investors, completing the offering that was announced August 6, 2020. The Company used the proceeds to repay outstanding amounts on its revolving line of credit and for general corporate purposes.

Common Share Dividends

On August 20, 2020, NSA's Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.34 per common share, which was paid on September 30, 2020 to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures & Glossary

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are presented because NSA's management believes these measures help investors understand NSA's business, performance and ability to earn and distribute cash to its shareholders by providing perspectives not immediately apparent from net income (loss). These measures are also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties. The presentations of FFO, Core FFO and NOI in this press release are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, NSA's method of calculating these measures may be different from methods used by other companies, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures as calculated by other companies that do not use the same methodology as NSA. These measures, and other words and phrases used herein, are defined in the Glossary in the supplemental financial information and, where appropriate, reconciliations of these measures and other non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the Schedules to this press release and in the supplemental financial information.

(1) Amounts represent distributions declared for subordinated performance unitholders and DownREIT subordinated performance unitholders for the periods presented.

(2) NSA combines OP units and DownREIT OP units with common shares because, after the applicable lock-out periods, OP units in the Company's operating partnership are redeemable for cash or, at NSA's option, exchangeable for common shares on a one-for-one basis and DownREIT OP units are also redeemable for cash or, at NSA's option, exchangeable for OP units in the Company's operating partnership on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments in each case. Subordinated performance units, DownREIT subordinated performance units and LTIP units may also, under certain circumstances, be convertible into or exchangeable for common shares (or other units that are convertible into or exchangeable for common shares). See footnote(3) for additional discussion of subordinated performance units, DownREIT subordinated performance units, and LTIP units in the calculation of FFO and Core FFO per share and unit.

(3) Adjustment accounts for the difference between the weighted average number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share and the weighted average number of shares used to calculate FFO and Core FFO per share and unit. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method for the company's restricted common shares and the treasury stock method for certain unvested LTIP units, and assumes the conversion of vested LTIP units into OP units on a one-for-one basis and the hypothetical conversion of subordinated performance units, and DownREIT subordinated performance units into OP units, even though such units may only be convertible into OP units (i) after a lock-out period and (ii) upon certain events or conditions. For additional information about the conversion of subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units into OP units, see Note 10 to the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The computation of weighted average shares and units for FFO and Core FFO per share and unit includes all restricted common shares and LTIP units that participate in distributions and excludes all subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units because their effect has been accounted for through the allocation of FFO to the related unitholders based on distributions declared.

(4) Represents the effect of adjusting the numerator to consolidated net income (loss) prior to GAAP allocations for noncontrolling interests, after deducting preferred share and unit distributions, and before the application of the two-class method and treasury stock method, as described in footnote(3).
