National Storage Affiliates Trust Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - National Storage Affiliates Trust ("NSA" or the "Company") (NYSE: NSA) today reported the Company’s third quarter 2023 results.
Third Quarter 2023 Highlights
Reported net income of $43.1 million for the third quarter of 2023, an increase of 7.2% compared to the third quarter of 2022. Reported diluted earnings per share of $0.26 for the third quarter of 2023 compared to $0.21 for the third quarter of 2022.
Reported core funds from operations ("Core FFO") of $85.8 million, or $0.67 per share for the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 6.9% per share compared to the third quarter of 2022. An increase in net operating income (“NOI”) of $6.0 million was more than offset by an increase in interest expense of $14.2 million, primarily due to an increase in average effective interest rates.
Reported a decrease in same store NOI of 0.1% for the third quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, driven by a 1.1% increase in same store total revenues, which was more than offset by an increase of 4.2% in same store property operating expenses.
Reported same store period-end occupancy of 88.5% as of September 30, 2023, a decrease of 360 basis points compared to September 30, 2022.
Acquired two wholly-owned self storage properties for approximately $30.1 million during the third quarter of 2023. Consideration for these acquisitions included the issuance of $16.4 million of OP equity.
Repurchased 6,360,994 of the Company's common shares for approximately $213.4 million under the previously announced share repurchase program.
Highlights Subsequent to Quarter-End
Issued $250.0 million of senior unsecured notes with a weighted average interest rate of 6.58% and a weighted average maturity of 5.8 years in a private placement with institutional investors.
Acquired two wholly-owned self storage properties for approximately $25.4 million. Consideration for these acquisitions included approximately $17.1 million of net cash and OP equity of approximately $8.1 million.
David Cramer, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Despite the current headwinds in self storage demand, our team did a good job navigating and responding to this dynamic environment. As a result of these efforts, we’ve maintained our guidance ranges for full-year 2023.”
Mr. Cramer further commented, “We’re also pleased to have completed our $250 million debt private placement prior to the recent increase in debt costs. This transaction demonstrates our healthy access to capital and commitment to enhancing our balance sheet through reducing our floating rate exposure and increasing our weighted average maturity.”

(2) Casualty-related recoveries relate to casualty-related expenses incurred during 2022.
Net income increased $2.9 million for the third quarter of 2023 and decreased $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 ("year-to-date") as compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase in net income in the third quarter of 2023 was primarily due to an increase in NOI of $6.0 million and $5.8 million of casualty-related expense in the third quarter of 2022 that did not recur in 2023, partially offset by an increase in interest expense of $14.2 million. The year-to-date decrease in net income was a result of an increase in interest expense of $44.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, partially offset by an increase in NOI of $31.2 million year-to-date driven primarily from additional NOI generated from the 18 wholly-owned self storage properties acquired during 2023 and 45 self storage properties acquired during 2022, that were owned during the entire nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The decreases in FFO and Core FFO for the third quarter of 2023 and year-to-date were the result of an increase in NOI of 4.2% and 7.5%, respectively, which were more than offset by an increase in interest expense of 49.2% and 58.9%, respectfully, as compared to the same periods in 2022.

Year-over-year same store total revenues increased 1.1% for the third quarter of 2023 and 3.2% year-to-date as compared to the same period in 2022. The increase for the third quarter was driven primarily by a 5.0% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot, partially offset by a 4.0% decrease in average occupancy. The year-to-date same store total revenue increase was driven primarily by a 6.8% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot, partially offset by a 4.1% decrease in average occupancy. Markets which generated above portfolio average same store total revenue growth for the third quarter of 2023 include: Riverside, McAllen and Oklahoma City. Markets which generated below portfolio average same store total revenue growth for the third quarter of 2023 include: Las Vegas, Phoenix and San Antonio.
Year-over-year same store property operating expenses increased 4.2% for the third quarter of 2023 and 4.6% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2022. The increases primarily resulted from increases in marketing and insurance expense, partially offset by decreases in personnel expense.
Investment Activity
During the third quarter, NSA invested $30.1 million in the acquisition of two self storage properties sourced from our captive pipeline, consisting of approximately 144,200 rentable square feet configured in approximately 1,100 storage units. Total consideration for these acquisitions included approximately $13.7 million of net cash, $9.2 million of subordinated performance units, $6.2 million of 6.000% Series A-1 cumulative redeemable preferred units, $0.9 million of OP units and LTIP units and the assumption of approximately $0.1 million of other liabilities.
Balance Sheet
During the third quarter, NSA repurchased 6,360,994 of the Company's common shares for approximately $213.4 million under the previously announced share repurchase program. Under the program, the Company has remaining capacity of approximately $27.6 million out of a total of $400.0 million authorized.
On October 5, 2023, NSA issued $65.0 million of 6.46% senior unsecured notes due October 5, 2026, $100.0 million of 6.55% senior unsecured notes due October 5, 2028, $35.0 million of 6.66% senior unsecured notes due October 5, 2030 and $50.0 million of 6.73% senior unsecured notes due October 5, 2033 in a private placement with institutional investors. The Company used the proceeds to repay outstanding amounts on its revolving line of credit and for general corporate purposes. In Schedule 4 of the supplemental financial information, the Company has presented its debt summary as of September 30, 2023, giving pro forma effect for the unsecured notes and repayment of outstanding amounts on the line of credit.
Common Share Dividends
On August 17, 2023, NSA's Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.56 per common share, representing a 1.8% increase from the third quarter 2022. The third quarter 2023 dividend was paid on September 29, 2023 to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2023.

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.

(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(4) 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) 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.
(5) Represents the effect of adjusting the numerator to consolidated net income 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(4).

(5) We have reflected 4,608,445 Series B Preferred Shares herein, which corresponds to the $115.2 million liquidation preference reflected on the balance sheet at September 30, 2023, although the Company’s balance sheet describes 5,668,128 Series B Preferred Shares issued and outstanding at September 30, 2023. As part of a March 16, 2023 property acquisition of 15 properties from an affiliate of Personal Mini, the Company recorded a $26.1 million promissory note receivable from the Personal Mini affiliate, and the affiliate of Personal Mini used the loan proceeds to acquire $26.1 million of subordinated performance units. The promissory note bears interest at a rate equivalent to the dividends paid on 1,059,683 Series B Preferred Shares. As a result of these agreements, in accordance with GAAP, the $26.1 million promissory note receivable, interest income on the promissory note receivable, $26.1 million of Series B Preferred Shares value, and dividends on such Series B Preferred Shares have been offset for presentation purposes in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations.
(6) Balances exclude 216,000 long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") units which only vest and participate in dividend distributions upon the future contribution of properties from the PROs.
(7) 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 1.57 OP units based on historical financial information for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2023. 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.
