We grew our portfolio by adding 65 wholly-owned self storage properties and an additional five properties through our joint venture.

These transactions provide us with the financial flexibility to continue to execute our growth strategy as we begin 2018, which we kicked off by acquiring an additional 18 properties during January and February."

Fourth Quarter 2017
Fourth quarter 2017 net income increased $5.9 million, driven primarily by incremental NOI generated from 65 self storage properties acquired during 2017 and same store NOI growth, partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization and interest expense.
Fourth quarter 2017 basic earnings per share decreased $0.30 per share and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.15 per share. In addition to the items affecting net income described above, the comparison of earnings per share amounts between periods is affected by the allocation of net income to noncontrolling interests pursuant to GAAP. Additional information on NSA's allocation of net income (loss) can be found in the Glossary to the supplemental financial information under "Hypothetical Liquidation at Book Value Method."
Fourth quarter 2017 FFO per share increased 19.2% and Core FFO per share increased 6.7%. The increases in FFO and Core FFO were primarily the result of $5.9 million of incremental NOI from 65 self storage properties acquired during 2017 and same store NOI growth of $1.6 million, partially offset by higher interest expense and the payment of dividends on preferred shares issued during the fourth quarter to fund the Company's growth.
Full Year 2017
Full year 2017 net income increased $21.1 million, driven primarily by additional NOI generated from non-same store self storage properties acquired during 2017 and 2016, same store NOI growth, increases in management fees and other revenue, gains from the sale of self storage properties and decreases in acquisition costs, partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization, interest expense and general and administrative expenses.
Full year 2017 basic earnings per share decreased $0.59 per share and diluted earnings per share decreased $0.30 per share. In addition to the items affecting net income described above, the comparison of earnings per share amounts between periods is affected by the allocation of net income to noncontrolling interests pursuant to GAAP.
Full year 2017 FFO per share increased 24.2% and Core FFO per share increased 10.7%. The increases in FFO and Core FFO were primarily the result of $35.4 million of incremental NOI from non-same store properties acquired in 2017 and 2016, same store NOI growth of $8.2 million and a $6.3 million increase in management fees and other revenue partially offset by increases of $10.0 million of interest expense, $8.5 million of general and administrative expenses and $5.5 million of distributions to subordinated performance unitholders.

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. | |

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, the treasury stock method for certain unvested LTIP units, and includes the assumption of a hypothetical conversion of subordinated performance units, DownREIT subordinated performance units and LTIP 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. | |

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