Reported an increase in same store net operating income ("NOI") of 9.4% for the fourth quarter of 2022 compared to the same period in 2021, driven by a 7.4% increase in same store total revenues partially offset by an increase of 1.6% in same store property operating expenses.

Acquired two wholly-owned self storage properties for approximately $39.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2022. Consideration for these acquisitions included the issuance of $32.1 million of OP equity.
Repurchased 1,032,251 of the Company's common shares for approximately $40.0 million under the previously announced share repurchase program.
Full Year 2022 Highlights
Reported net income of $183.8 million for full year 2022, an increase of 25.1% compared to full year 2021. Reported diluted earnings per share of $0.99 for full year 2022 compared to $0.98 for full year 2021.

Highlights Subsequent to Quarter-End
Entered into an agreement on January 3, 2023, with lenders to increase the total borrowing capacity under the Company's credit facility by $405.0 million to $1.955 billion, and used incremental borrowings under the credit facility to retire $300.0 million of its $375.0 million of debt maturing in 2023.
One of the Company's participating regional operators ("PROs"), Move It Self Storage and its controlled affiliates ("Move It"), retired effective January 1, 2023. As a result of the retirement, on January 1, 2023, management of the Company's 72 properties in the Move It managed portfolio was transferred to NSA and the Move It brand name and related intellectual property were internalized by the Company. In addition, NSA will no longer pay supervisory and administrative fees or reimbursements to Move It and on January 1, 2023, issued a notice of non-voluntary conversion to cause all subordinated performance units related to Move It's managed portfolio to convert into OP units. As part of the internalization, a majority of Move It's employees were offered and provided employment by the Company to continue managing Move It's portfolio of properties as members of NSA's existing property management platform.

On February 24, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with affiliates of Personal Mini, one of the Company's PROs, to acquire a portfolio of 15 properties located in Florida for approximately $145.0 million, subject to receipt of approval from the selling entity's shareholders and other customary closing conditions. The Company expects to complete the acquisition in the first quarter of 2023.
“NSA had another exceptional year with annual same store growth of nearly 15%, second highest in our history,” commented Tamara Fischer, Chief Executive Officer. “Our strong organic growth combined with our opportunistic acquisition strategy resulted in over 24% annual growth in core FFO per share. We believe these results demonstrate the strength of our team, the benefits of our geographically diverse portfolio, as well as the ongoing advantages of our differentiated PRO structure."

Dave Cramer, President and Chief Operating Officer, stated, “We’re pleased with our strategies to balance rate and occupancy which produced double digit revenue growth of over 12% for the year, second highest in our history. I look forward to 2023 as we continue our focus on people, processes and platforms which will allow us to deliver growth and optimize value for all of our stakeholders.”

Net income increased $7.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and increased by $36.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("year-to-date") as compared to the same periods in 2021. The increases resulted primarily from additional NOI generated from the 45 wholly-owned self storage properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2022, same store NOI growth, increases in management fees and other revenue, and an increase in equity in earnings from the Company's unconsolidated real estate ventures, partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization, interest expense and general administrative expenses.
The increases in FFO and Core FFO for the fourth quarter of 2022 and year-to-date were primarily the result of incremental NOI from properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2022 and same store NOI growth, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.

Year-over-year same store total revenues increased 7.4% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 12.1% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2021. The increase for the fourth quarter was driven primarily by a 12.4% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot, partially offset by a 4.2% decrease in average occupancy. The year-to-date increase was driven primarily by a 13.4% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot, partially offset by a 90 basis point decrease in average occupancy. Markets which generated above portfolio average same store total revenue growth include: Riverside-San Bernardino, Atlanta, and McAllen-Edinburg. Markets which generated below portfolio average same store total revenue growth include: Portland, New Orleans and Kansas City.
Year-over-year same store property operating expenses increased 1.6% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 4.8% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2021. The increases primarily resulted from increases in marketing, utilities, and year-to-date property tax expense offset by a decrease in personnel costs.
Investment Activity
During the fourth quarter, NSA invested $39.9 million in the acquisition of two wholly-owned self storage properties consisting of approximately 196,000 rentable square feet configured in approximately 1,800 storage units. Total consideration for these acquisitions included approximately $7.6 million of net cash, the issuance of approximately $16.2 million of OP units, $15.9 million of SP units and the assumption of approximately $0.2 million of other liabilities.
Balance Sheet
During the fourth quarter, NSA repurchased 1,032,251 of the Company's common shares for approximately $40.0 million under the previously announced share repurchase program. For the full year 2022, the Company repurchased 1,986,175 shares for approximately $90.0 million. Under the program, the Company has remaining capacity of approximately $310.0 million out of a total of $400.0 million authorized.
On January 3, 2023, the Company entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement which expands the total borrowing capacity of its credit facility by $405.0 million to $1.955 billion with an accordion feature to expand the total borrowing capacity to $2.5 billion. The maturity date of the revolving line of credit is now January 2027 versus the previous maturity date of January 2024, while the total borrowing capacity was increased to $950.0 million from $650.0 million. In connection with the credit facility recast, the Company retired its $125.0 million term loan due January 2023 and its $175.0 million term loan facility due in June 2023, and converted LIBOR-based borrowings to SOFR. The Company funded the retirements with $230.0 million of incremental borrowings on existing term loans and $70.0 million of borrowings on its revolving line of credit. In Schedule 4 of the supplemental financial information, the Company has presented its debt summary as of December 31, 2022, giving pro forma effect for the credit facility recast, debt retirements, and an interest rate swap that was effective starting February 1, 2023.

(1) Amounts represent distributions declared for subordinated performance unitholders and DownREIT subordinated performance unitholders for the periods presented.
(2) These casualty-related expenses are recorded in the line item "Other" within operating expenses in our consolidated statement of operations.
(3) 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(5) 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.
(4) Represents the dilutive effect of the forward offering from the application of the treasury stock method.

(5) 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.
(6) 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(5).

(3) Balances exclude 252,894 long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") units which only vest and participate in dividend distributions upon the future contribution of properties from the PROs or the completion of expansion projects.
(4) If converted balance assumes that each subordinated performance unit (including each DownREIT subordinated performance unit) is convertible into OP units, notwithstanding the two-year lock-out period on conversions for certain series of subordinated performance units, and that each subordinated performance unit would on average convert on a hypothetical basis into an estimated 1.72 OP units based on historical financial information for the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2022. As disclosed in the Company's press release dated January 3, 2022, one of the Company's PROs, Move It, retired as a PRO effective as of January 1, 2023. In connection with the retirement, 926,623 Series MI subordinated performance units related to Move It's managed portfolio were converted into 2,545,063 OP units effective as of January 1, 2023. Excluding the 926,623 Series MI subordinated performance units that were converted into OP units on January 1, 2023, the remaining subordinated performance units outstanding as of December 31, 2022 would on average convert on a hypothetical basis into an estimated 1.64 OP units based on historical financial information for the trailing twelve months ended December 31, 2022. The hypothetical conversions are calculated by dividing the average cash available for distribution, or CAD, per subordinated performance unit by 110% of the CAD per OP unit over the same period. The Company anticipates that as CAD grows over time, the conversion ratio will also grow, including to levels that may exceed these amounts.

(1) Values represent entire unconsolidated real estate ventures at 100%, not NSA's proportionate share. NSA's ownership in each of the unconsolidated real estate ventures is 25%.
(2) NSA's proportionate share of its unconsolidated real estate ventures is derived by applying NSA's 25% ownership interest to each line item in the GAAP financial statements of the unconsolidated real estate ventures to calculate NSA's share of that line item. NSA believes this information offers insights into the financial performance of the Company, although the presentation of such information, and its combination with NSA's consolidated results, may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of holding a noncontrolling interest in the unconsolidated real estate ventures. The operating agreements of the unconsolidated real estate ventures provide for the distribution of net cash flow to the unconsolidated real estate ventures' investors no less than monthly, generally in proportion to the investors’ respective ownership interests, subject to a promoted distribution to NSA upon the achievement of certain performance benchmarks by the non-NSA investor.
