Public Storage Reports Results for the Quarter Ended June 30, 2014

GLENDALE, Calif.--()--Public Storage (NYSE:PSA) announced today operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $218.4 million or $1.26 per diluted common share, compared to $207.7 million or $1.20 per diluted common share for the same period in 2013, representing an increase of $10.7 million or $0.06 per diluted common share. This increase is due primarily to a $38.9 million increase in self-storage net operating income, offset partially by a $15.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization associated with the 127 self-storage facilities acquired since January 2013.

The increase in our self-storage net operating income was the result of a $21.2 million increase for our Same Store Facilities combined with a $17.7 million increase for our non-Same Store Facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 5.3% or $22.6 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, due to higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot and higher average occupancy. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 1.2% or $1.5 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, due primarily to increases in property taxes offset partially by lower on-site property manager payroll. The increase in net operating income for the non-Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of the acquisition of 127 self-storage facilities since January 2013.

Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $392.4 million or $2.27 per diluted common share, compared to $369.6 million or $2.14 per diluted common share for the same period in 2013, representing an increase of $22.8 million or $0.13 per diluted common share. This increase is due primarily to a $69.8 million increase in self-storage net operating income, offset partially by a $33.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization associated with the 127 self-storage facilities acquired since January 2013.

The increase in our self-storage net operating income was the result of a $37.2 million increase for our Same Store Facilities combined with a $32.6 million increase for our non-Same Store Facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 5.2% or $43.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, due to higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot and higher average occupancy. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 2.6% or $6.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, due primarily to increases in property taxes, snow removal, and utilities expense, offset partially by lower advertising and selling costs. The increase in net operating income for the non-Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of the acquisition of 127 self-storage facilities since January 2013.

Funds from Operations

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, funds from operations (“FFO”) was $1.99 per diluted common share, as compared to $1.83 for the same period in 2013, representing an increase of 8.7%, or $0.16 per share. FFO is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) term defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and generally represents net income before depreciation, gains and losses and impairment charges with respect to real estate assets.

For the six months ended June 30, 2014, FFO was $3.73 per diluted common share, as compared to $3.40 for the same period in 2013, representing an increase of 9.7%, or $0.33 per share.

We also present “Core FFO per share,” a non-GAAP measure that represents FFO per share excluding the impact of (i) foreign currency exchange losses of $1.7 million and $4.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, (a gain of $5.9 million and a loss of $6.8 million for the same periods in 2013), and (ii) other items, comprised primarily of a $7.8 million accrual related to a legal settlement included in ancillary cost of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014, a $4.1 million reduction in ancillary cost of operations associated with recognition of a deferred tax asset in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, and our $1.4 million equity share of charges incurred by Shurgard Europe in closing a facility during the six months ended June 30, 2013. We believe Core FFO per share is a helpful measure used by investors and REIT analysts to understand our performance. However, Core FFO per share is not a substitute for net income per share. Because other REITs may not compute Core FFO per share in the same manner as we do, may not use the same terminology, or may not present such a measure, Core FFO per share may not be comparable among REITs.

(c) Realized annual rent per occupied square foot is computed by dividing annualized rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the weighted average occupied square feet for the period. Realized annual rent per available square foot (“REVPAF”) is computed by dividing annualized rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the total available rentable square feet for the period. These measures exclude late charges and administrative fees in order to provide a better measure of our ongoing level of revenue. Late charges are dependent upon the level of delinquency, and administrative fees are dependent upon the level of move-ins. In addition, the rates charged for late charges and administrative fees can vary independently from rental rates. These measures take into consideration promotional discounts, which reduce rental income.
 
(d) Contract rent represents the applicable contractual monthly rent charged to our tenants, excluding the impact of promotional discounts, late charges, and administrative fees.

Investing and Capital Activities

As of June 30, 2014, we had development and expansion projects in process which will add approximately 2.1 million net rentable square feet of storage space at a total cost of approximately $242 million. A total of $61 million in costs were incurred through June 30, 2014 with respect to these projects, with approximately $70 million of the remaining costs expected to be incurred in the last six months of 2014, and the remainder in 2015.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we acquired six self-storage facilities (one in Texas and five in North Carolina), with an aggregate of 431,000 net rentable square feet, for approximately $37 million. On July 1, 2014, we acquired 25 properties (19 located in Florida, three in Maryland and one each in North Carolina, New Jersey and Virginia) containing in aggregate 1.8 million net rentable square feet for approximately $240 million in cash. We have four additional self-storage facilities with 374,000 net rentable square feet (two in Virginia, one in North Carolina, and one in South Carolina) under contract, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $40 million, with estimated closing dates in the fourth quarter of 2014.

On June 4, 2014, we issued our 6.00% Series Z Preferred Shares for gross proceeds of approximately $288 million.

In July 2014, Shurgard Europe completed the following financing transactions: (i) amended its bank loan to, among other things, expand the outstanding borrowings from €82.9 million to €125 million and extend the maturity to January 2018, (ii) issued €300 million (issued in three equal tranches of 7, 10 and 12 year maturities) of unsecured Senior Notes, and (iii) fully repaid its €311 million shareholder loan. As a result, we received a total of $205 million for our 49% share of the shareholder loan and used $200 million to repay a portion of our outstanding term loan bringing its balance down to $122 million as of July 31, 2014.

Distributions Declared

On July 31, 2014, our Board of Trustees declared a regular common quarterly dividend of $1.40 per common share. The Board also declared dividends with respect to our various series of preferred shares. All the dividends are payable on September 30, 2014 to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2014.

          (a)     In order to isolate changes in the underlying operations from the impact of exchange rates, the amounts in this table are presented on a constant exchange rate basis. The amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 have been restated using the actual exchange rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
 
(b) Realized annual rent per occupied square foot is computed by dividing annualized rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the weighted average occupied square feet for the period. Realized annual rent per available square foot (“REVPAF”) is computed by dividing annualized rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the total available rentable square feet for the period. These measures exclude late charges and administrative fees in order to provide a better measure of our ongoing level of revenue. Late charges are dependent upon the level of delinquency, and administrative fees are dependent upon the level of move-ins. In addition, the rates charged for late charges and administrative fees can vary independently from rental rates. These measures take into consideration promotional discounts, which reduce rental income.

FFO and FFO per share are non-GAAP measures defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and, along with FAD, are considered helpful measures of REIT performance by REITS and many REIT analysts. FFO represents net income before real estate depreciation, gains or losses, and impairment charges, which are excluded because they are based upon historical real estate costs and assume that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions. FAD represents FFO, adjusted to exclude certain non-cash charges and to deduct capital expenditures. FFO and FFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. FFO and FAD are not substitutes for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because they exclude investing and financing activities presented on our statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITS may compute these measures differently, so comparisons among REITS may not be helpful.

          (a)     We have 212 additional self-storage facilities that are not Same Store Facilities, including six facilities acquired in 2014, 121 facilities acquired in 2013 and 24 facilities acquired in 2012. The average square foot occupancy during the three months ended June 30, 2014, is 90% for the facilities acquired in 2014, 89% for the facilities acquired in 2013, 89% for the facilities acquired in 2012 and 85% for the other non same store facilities.
 
(b) Net operating income or “NOI” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization expense. We believe that NOI is a meaningful measure of operating performance, because we utilize NOI in making decisions with respect to capital allocations, in determining current property values, in evaluating property performance and in comparing period-to-period and market-to-market property operating results. In addition, we believe the investment community utilizes NOI in determining operating performance and real estate values, and does not consider depreciation expense because it is based upon historical cost. NOI is not a substitute for net income, net operating cash flow, or other related GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results. This table reconciles from NOI for our self-storage facilities to the operating income presented on our income statement.
