National Storage Affiliates Trust Reports Third Quarter 2018 Results

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- National Storage Affiliates Trust (“NSA” or the "Company") (NYSE: NSA) today reported the Company’s third quarter 2018 results.

Third Quarter 2018 Highlights

  • Earnings per share was $0.03 for the third quarter of 2018.
  • Core funds from operations ("Core FFO") was $0.36 per share for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 9.1% compared to the third quarter of 2017.
  • Same store net operating income ("NOI") was $44.4 million for the third quarter of 2018, an increase of 5.0% compared to $42.3 million for the third quarter of 2017, driven by a 4.0% increase in same store total revenues and a 2.0% increase in same store property operating expenses.
  • Completed an offering of 5,900,000 common shares resulting in net proceeds of approximately $176 million.
  • Formed a new joint venture (the "2018 Joint Venture"), with NSA as a 25% owner, which acquired a $1.3 billion portfolio of self storage properties from Simply Self Storage, a portfolio company of a private real estate fund managed by Brookfield Asset Management.
  • Subsequent to quarter end, added Southern Self Storage of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida as NSA’s ninth Participating Regional Operator (“PRO”).

Arlen Nordhagen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Third quarter 2018 was a transformational growth period for NSA with our new 2018 Joint Venture and its successful acquisition of the Simply Self Storage portfolio. The integration of these new properties under our iStorage brand and management platform is progressing well, and we couldn't be more excited about these properties and team members joining NSA. In addition, the Company invested $107 million in wholly-owned properties in the third quarter, six of which are located in Puerto Rico and seven of which are located in NSA's existing U.S. markets. Finally, we are extremely pleased to announce that we have entered into agreements to add our ninth PRO, Southern Self Storage, which is led by Bob McIntosh and Peter Cowie, who are active real estate operators with more than 30 years of self storage industry experience."

Tamara Fischer, President and Chief Financial Officer, added, "Operating results for the third quarter 2018 were in-line with our expectations with a 5.0% increase in same store NOI driven by solid rental rate increases across several key markets. These operating results combined with the growth of our portfolio over the past year generated a 9.1% increase in third quarter 2018 Core FFO per share. During the third quarter, NSA invested over a quarter of a billion dollars in our joint ventures and wholly-owned self storage property acquisitions. With the completion of our follow-on common share offering in July, we continue to maintain the financial flexibility to successfully finish out 2018 and look ahead to another strong year in 2019."

Net income increased $5.6 million for the third quarter of 2018 and increased $7.9 million year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase was primarily the result of incremental NOI generated from 81 self storage properties acquired between October 1, 2017 and September 30, 2018 and same store NOI growth, partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization and interest expense.

Third quarter 2018 basic and diluted earnings per share remained flat at $0.03 per share and for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 ("year-to-date") basic and diluted earnings per share increased $0.16 per share. The increases in year-to-date basic and diluted earnings per share resulted from decreases in net income attributable to noncontrolling interests as compared to the same period in 2017, due to 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."

Third quarter 2018 FFO per share increased 12.5% and Core FFO per share increased 9.1%, and year-to date FFO per share increased 9.8% and Core FFO per share increased 8.6%. The increases in FFO and Core FFO were primarily the result of incremental NOI from 81 self storage properties acquired between October 1, 2017 and September 30, 2018 and same store NOI growth, partially offset by higher interest expense and the payment of dividends on preferred shares issued during the fourth quarter of 2017 to fund the Company's growth.

Year-over-year same store total revenues increased 4.0% for the third quarter of 2018 and year-to-date. The increases in both periods were driven primarily by a 3.8% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot partially offset by a 10 basis point decrease in average occupancy.

Year-over-year same store property operating expenses increased 2.0% for the third quarter of 2018 and 2.8% year-to-date. These increases primarily resulted from increases in property taxes and personnel costs.

Investment Activity

During the third quarter of 2018, NSA formed the 2018 Joint Venture with an affiliate of Heitman America Real Estate REIT LLC (the "2018 JV Investor"). The 2018 Joint Venture was capitalized with approximately $639.7 million in equity (approximately $159.9 million from NSA in exchange for a 25% ownership interest and approximately $479.8 million from the 2018 JV Investor in exchange for a 75% ownership interest) and proceeds from a $643.0 million interest-only secured debt financing with an interest rate of 4.34% per annum and a maturity of 10 years.

In September, the 2018 Joint Venture completed the acquisition of a portfolio of 112 self storage properties located across 17 states and Puerto Rico, consisting of over 8 million rentable square feet configured in over 68,000 storage units for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.325 billion (the "2018 JV Acquisition"). Immediately following the closing of the 2018 JV Acquisition, the 2018 Joint Venture distributed six self storage properties in the 2018 JV Acquisition located in Puerto Rico and a single self storage property located in Ohio to NSA. Substantially all of the properties that remain in the 2018 Joint Venture are operated by NSA's management platform under the iStorage brand. Additional information about the 2018 Joint Venture and the 2018 JV Acquisition are available on NSA's website at www.nationalstorageaffiliates.com under Investor Relations > Corporate Presentations.

In addition to the seven self storage properties acquired by NSA from the 2018 Joint Venture discussed above, during the third quarter of 2018, NSA also acquired six wholly-owned self storage properties located in six states. In total, these 13 self storage properties consist of approximately 0.9 million rentable square feet configured in approximately 8,000 storage units. Consideration for these acquisitions included approximately $102.0 million of net cash, the issuance of approximately $3.7 million of OP equity and the assumption of approximately $0.9 million of other working capital liabilities.

During the third quarter of 2018, NSA's 2016 Joint Venture acquired two self storage properties and an expansion project adjacent to an existing property, consisting of approximately 0.1 million rentable square feet configured in approximately 900 storage units for $19.0 million. The 2016 Joint Venture financed these acquisitions with capital contributions from the 2016 Joint Venture members, of which NSA contributed approximately $4.9 million for its 25% proportionate share.

Balance Sheet

NSA completed an offering of 5,900,000 common shares in July 2018. The shares were issued at a price of $29.86 per share, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $176 million. The Company used a portion of the proceeds from this offering to repay borrowings outstanding under its revolving line of credit and to make capital contributions to the 2018 Joint Venture.

Common Share Dividends

On August 23, 2018, NSA's Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.29 per common share, which was paid on September 28, 2018 to shareholders of record as of September 14, 2018.

2018 Guidance

Although NSA expects certain assumptions included in its previously provided guidance to be affected by the formation of the 2018 Joint Venture, closing of the 2018 JV Acquisition, and the dilution due to the July 2018 equity issuance, NSA reaffirms its previously provided guidance estimate for Core FFO per share for the year ended December 31, 2018.

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 presentation 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.

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).
