BUFFALO, N.Y.--()--Sovran Self Storage, Inc. (NYSE:SSS), a self storage real estate investment trust (REIT), reported operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2014.

Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter of 2014 was $20.6 million or $0.62 per fully diluted common share. For the same period in 2013, net income available to common shareholders was $17.9 million, or $0.57 per fully diluted common share.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the quarter were $1.00 per fully diluted common share compared to $0.94 for the same period last year. In the second quarter of 2014, the Company incurred net acquisition costs of $2.0 million in connection with its property purchases and had a straight line rent adjustment of $0.5 million relating to the lease expense of the former Westy properties. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company incurred no such costs or adjustments. Absent these charges, adjusted FFO per share was $1.08 and $0.94 for the second quarter of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Improved occupancies and rising rental rates more than offset the anticipated increases in property taxes, repair and maintenance and utilities, resulting in the strong FFO growth.

“This spring’s leasing season has proven to be a good one, and we’ve been able to achieve strong rate growth across all of our markets” said David Rogers, the Company’s CEO. “We hit our best ever earnings level this quarter, and we are on pace to beat our all-time high for occupancy and rental rates later this summer.”

OPERATIONS:

Total revenues increased 19.9% over last year’s second quarter, while operating costs increased 16.9%, resulting in an NOI (3) increase of 21.2%. Overall occupancy averaged 90.7% for the period and rental rates increased 8.3% to an average of $11.79 per sq. ft.

Revenues for the 386 stores wholly owned by the Company since January 1, 2013 increased 8.6% from those of the second quarter of 2013, the result of a 270 basis point increase in average occupancy, a 4.4% increase in rental rates and strong growth in insurance commissions.

Same store operating expenses increased 5.7% for the second quarter of 2014 compared to the prior year period, primarily the result of increased property tax charges of 12.1%. Repair and maintenance costs were also higher than expected due to the extended harsh winter.

Consequently, same store net operating income increased 10.0% this period over the second quarter of 2013.

General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.4 million over the same period in 2013, primarily due to increases in internet advertising and personnel costs associated with operating more stores during the quarter than at this time last year.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company experienced significant same store revenue and NOI growth in every state in which it operates. The stores with the strongest revenue impact include those in Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, and Georgia.

PROPERTIES:

As previously announced, the Company acquired 19 self storage facilities for a total cost of approximately $130 million in the second quarter. Sixteen stores were purchased on behalf of the Company for a cost of $96 million and the balance was acquired for Sovran HHF Storage Holdings LLC, a joint venture in which the Company owns a 20% interest.

The properties total approximately 1.3 million square feet and are all located in markets where the Company already has a presence: seven in New Jersey; seven in St. Louis; and one each in Metro New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Chicago and San Antonio.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company also acquired a 78,000 sq. ft. facility in New Jersey for $11.8 million.

CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS:

Illustrated below are key financial ratios at June 30, 2014:

  • Debt to Enterprise Value (at $77.25/share) 22.7%
  • Debt to Book Cost of Storage Facilities 36.8%
  • Debt to EBITDA Ratio 4.5x
  • Debt Service Coverage 4.9x

At June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $7 million of cash on hand, and $166 million available on its line of credit (without considering the additional $75 million available under the expansion feature).

As previously announced, on April 8, 2014 the Company issued $175 million of ten-year unsecured notes at a fixed rate of 4.533%. $115 million of the proceeds were used to pay down the Company’s line of credit balance with the remainder used to fund acquisitions and property expansions.

The Company issued 250,000 shares of its common stock via its previously announced ATM program during the quarter at an average price of $77.08 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $18.9 million after issuance costs. The Company used the proceeds to fund the purchase of the aforementioned properties. Also in April, the Company issued 43,092 shares at an average price of $73.45 through its Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND:

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.68 per share or $2.72 annualized.

YEAR 2014 EARNINGS GUIDANCE:

Management is encouraged by its occupancy gains, rent growth, and resiliency in most markets. The following assumptions covering operations have been utilized in formulating guidance for the third quarter and full year 2014:

      Same Store

Projected Increases Over 2013

3Q 2014

 

Full Year 2014

Revenue 6.5 – 7.5% 7.0 – 8.0%
Operating Costs (excluding property taxes) 2.5 – 3.5% 3.5 – 4.5%
Property Taxes 5.0 – 6.0% 8.5 – 9.5%
Total Operating Expenses 3.5 – 4.5% 5.0 – 6.0%
Net Operating Income 8.5 – 9.5% 8.0 – 9.0%
 

The Company intends to spend up to $25 million on its expansion and enhancement program. It has also budgeted $16 million to provide for recurring capitalized expenditures including roofing, paving, and office renovations.

In addition to the $203 million of properties acquired on the Company’s behalf thus far this year, it has assumed $50 million of additional acquisitions in 2014. Per share FFO guidance is projected after adding back third party acquisition costs. Purchases of additional properties are expected to be funded via proceeds from the Company’s ATM program, and draws on its line of credit which carries an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.5%.

Annual general and administrative expenses are expected to be approximately $40 million due to the need for additional personnel required for recent acquisitions, income taxes on its taxable REIT subsidiaries, and the Company’s plans to continue expanding its internet marketing presence, Corporate Alliance and third party management programs.

At June 30, 2014, the Company had 33.2 million shares of common stock outstanding and 0.2 million Operating Partnership Units outstanding.

As a result of the above assumptions, management expects funds from operations for the full year 2014 to be approximately $4.32 to $4.36 per share, and between $1.14 and $1.16 per share for the third quarter of 2014.

(1) We believe that Funds from Operations (“FFO”) provides relevant and meaningful information about our operating performance that is necessary, along with net earnings and cash flows, for an understanding of our operating results. FFO adds back historical cost depreciation, which assumes the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably in the future. In fact, real estate asset values increase or decrease with market conditions. Consequently, we believe FFO is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating our operating performance by disregarding (or adding back) historical cost depreciation.
 
Funds from operations is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) as net income available to common shareholders computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses on sales of properties, plus impairment of real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments to record unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.
 
Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, or as an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions.

(3) Net operating income or "NOI" is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measure that we define as total continuing revenues less continuing property operating expenses. NOI also can be calculated by adding back to net income: interest expense, impairment and casualty losses, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition related costs, general and administrative expense, and deducting from net income: income from discontinued operations, interest income, gain on sale of real estate, and equity in income of joint ventures. 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, and comparing period-to-period and market-to-market property operating results. NOI should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as total revenues, operating income and net income.
