Highlights for the quarter:

  • Increased outlook for the full-year 2026, following a strong performance in the first half of the year and optimism for the second half of 2026, including $0.02 of accretion from financing our Strategic Acquisitions of National Storage Affiliates Trust (NYSE: NSA) and Public Storage Canada (“PS Canada”).
  • Entered into an agreement to acquire PS Canada for US$1.2 billion. The portfolio consists of 68 properties totaling 5.3 million square feet.
  • Acquired 20 self-storage facilities with 1.5 million net rentable square feet for $222.5 million. Year to date, including activity subsequent to June 30, 2026, we acquired or were under contract to acquire 44 self-storage facilities with 3.2 million net rentable square feet, for $454.9 million.
  • Expanded our financial flexibility by executing forward sale agreements under our ATM program totaling 796,009 shares (at a weighted price of $326.32 per share) during the second quarter, and subsequent to quarter end, securing approximately $258 million in future settlement proceeds, to further bolster our value creation engine.
  • Entered into a new $3.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”), plus a $500 million delayed draw term loan facility (the “Term Loan”), and established a $1.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program (the “Commercial Paper Program”).
  • Completed a public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes at a fixed rate of 5.00% maturing on December 15, 2035.

Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company:

  • Closed our merger of NSA in an all-stock transaction. With the completion of the merger, the Company currently has a portfolio of over 4,500 locations and over 327 million square feet operating under the Public Storage brand.
  • Completed a public offering of $900 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes at an effective rate of 4.855%.

“Public Storage’s second quarter results reflect the strength of our platform and the disciplined execution of our long-term strategy, allowing us to raise our outlook for the back half of the year,” said Tom Boyle, Chief Executive Officer. “With the successful closing of the National Storage Affiliates acquisition and our announced agreement to acquire Public Storage Canada, the power of our PS4.0 Value Creation Engine and the operational advantages of the PS Next Platform are on full display. These strategic expansions allow us to deepen and broaden our portfolio, deliver value creation to our stakeholders, and improve customer experience across a rapidly growing footprint.”

  • Additional guidance assumptions can be found in the Company’s accompanying quarterly financial supplement.
  • As described in more detail in the Company’s accompanying quarterly financial supplement, consistent with applicable SEC rules, we do not provide guidance for GAAP net income per share, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, or a reconciliation of estimated 2026 Core FFO per share to estimated GAAP net income per share because we are unable to reasonably predict certain items that are included in GAAP net income, including gains or losses on sales of real estate investments.
  • Guidance adjustment column represents the absolute nominal change between midpoints of current and prior issued guidance.
  • Non-Same Store net operating income does not include the impact of NSA and PS Canada.

Operating Results

The operating results of our 2,755 Same Store Facilities (192.1 million net rentable square feet), which represent approximately 83% of the net rentable square feet in our U.S. consolidated portfolio, are as follows:

In addition to the Same Store Facilities, we have 441 primarily acquisition, development, and expansion facilities (39.3 million rentable square feet) in various stages of lease-up that represent the remaining 17% of the net rentable square feet in our portfolio. Revenues and net operating income from this non-same store pool grew 25.6% and 21.5%, respectively, during the quarter, and 25.2% and 24.3%, respectively, during the year.

Investment and Third-Party Management Activity

NSA Merger: On July 22, 2026, we closed our merger with NSA in an all-stock transaction (the "NSA Merger"), expanding the Public Storage brand portfolio to over 4,500 locations and more than 327 million operating square feet. Under the terms of the merger agreement, NSA shareholders received 0.1400 Public Storage common shares for each issued and outstanding NSA common share they owned. Concurrently with the closing, we formed a new joint venture consisting of 313 properties valued at approximately $3.3 billion, structured so that former NSA's operating partnership unitholders own approximately 80% of the equity, with Public Storage holding the remaining 20% interest.

The NSA Merger captures significant scale advantages by applying our industry-leading PS Next revenue and expense management capabilities to NSA’s solid operating momentum. Our operating platform advantage, highlighted by 78% same-store direct operating margins, compares favorably to NSA’s historical margins of 70%. We expect to generate approximately $110 million to $130 million of run-rate synergies within the next three to four years, driven by enhanced customer experience, NOI opportunity, tenant reinsurance uplift, and G&A savings. The transaction is expected to be accretive to FFO per share within the first year of closing, and to deliver approximately $0.35 to $0.50 per share in annualized FFO accretion upon the full realization of stabilized synergies. Additional information related to NSA’s second quarter 2026 performance can be found in the quarterly financial supplement published on the Company's Investor Relations website.

PS Canada: On June 22, 2026, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire PS Canada for US$1.2 billion, consisting of approximately $889 million of Public Storage OP units and approximately $310 million in cash. The portfolio consists of 68 properties totaling 5.3 million square feet. The acquisition of PS Canada represents a strategic opportunity to expand the Public Storage platform into major Canadian markets with attractive long-term fundamentals. This portfolio includes high-quality real estate in key markets, carries the Public Storage brand, and offers meaningful upside through our PS Next™ operating platform. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2026.

Acquisitions: During the quarter, we acquired 20 self-storage facilities with 1.5 million net rentable square feet for $222.5 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, and including activity subsequent to quarter end, not including PS Canada, we acquired or were under contract to acquire 44 facilities with 3.2 million net rentable square feet for $454.9 million.

Developments and Expansions: For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we opened three newly developed facilities and one expansion project, which together contributed 0.4 million net rentable square feet at a cost of $57.3 million.

At June 30, 2026, we had various facilities in development (2.8 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $483.5 million and various expansion projects underway (1.2 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $208.2 million. In total, these development and expansion projects are expected to deliver 4.0 million net rentable square feet at an aggregate cost of approximately $691.7 million. The remaining $431.6 million of development costs for these projects are expected to be incurred primarily in the next 18 to 24 months.

Lending: During the quarter, we originated $30.5 million of bridge loan financing for third-party self-storage owners at an average rate of 7.8%. At June 30, 2026, we had total notes receivable of $173.3 million at an average annual interest rate of 7.6% and $44.3 million of unfunded loan commitments expected to close in the next twelve months.

Third-Party Management: During the quarter, we added a net 22 facilities to our third-party property management program. At June 30, 2026, we managed or were under contract to manage 463 facilities (34.2 million net rentable square feet) through the program, including 68 facilities currently under construction.

Capital Markets Activity and Balance Sheet

"2026 has been a very strategic and beneficial year in the capital markets for Public Storage, setting up our balance sheet and value creation engine for years to come," said Joe Fisher, President and Chief Financial Officer. "Year-to-date, we have had $5.9 billion of debt capital markets activity and $6.0 billion of common share and partnership unit issuance or committed issuance. These deliberate actions further strengthen our industry best balance sheet, enhance our liquidity and financial flexibility, and fully fund our accretive external growth, including the acquisitions of NSA and Public Storage Canada."

The Company’s total indebtedness as of June 30, 2026 was $10.3 billion, with $650 million, or 6.3%, maturing in 2026. As of June 30, 2026, the Company had approximately $3.8 billion of liquidity through a combination of cash, undrawn capacity on its credit facility, and expected retained cash flow over the next twelve months. During the quarter, we completed a public offering of $500 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes at a fixed rate of 5.00% maturing on December 15, 2035. Additionally, we entered into a new $3.0 billion revolver, plus a $500 million delayed draw term loan facility, and established a $1.0 billion unsecured commercial paper program. The Revolver replaces in its entirety the Company’s $1.5 billion revolving credit facility that was scheduled to mature June 12, 2027. Lastly, through July 29, 2026, we have entered into forward sale agreements under our ATM program for a total of 796,009 common shares (at a weighted average price of $326.32 per share), which are expected to generate approximately $258 million of future net proceeds upon settlement.

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company issued $900 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes at an effective rate of 4.855%, including $400 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate senior notes bearing interest at an annual rate of 4.700% maturing on February 1, 2032, and $500 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate senior notes bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.150% maturing on August 15, 2036.

Definitions (unaudited)

Annual contract rent: Represents the agreed-upon monthly rate that is paid by our tenants in place at the time of measurement. Contract rates are initially set in the lease agreement upon move-in, and we adjust them from time to time with notice. Contract rent excludes other fees that are charged on a per-item basis, such as late charges and administrative fees, does not reflect the impact of promotional discounts, and does not reflect the impact of rents that are written off as uncollectible.

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (“EBITDA”): EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is used by us as a supplemental measure of performance. We believe investors and analysts utilize EBITDA in a similar manner. EBITDA is not a substitute for net income, operating cash flow, or other related financial measures, in evaluating our operating results. Other REITs may compute this measure differently, so comparisons among REITs may not be helpful.

Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”): FFO adjusted to exclude certain non-cash charges and to deduct recurring capital expenditures, which do not include capital expenditures for energy efficiencies, including the installation of solar panels, heat pumps, and LED lighting; or capital expenditures for other property enhancements, including acquisition rebrandings and commercial conversions. We utilize FAD in evaluating our ongoing cash flow available for investment, debt repayment, and common distributions. We believe investors and analysts utilize FAD in a similar manner. FAD is not a substitute for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because it excludes investing and financing activities presented on our statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITs may compute this measure differently, so comparisons among REITs may not be helpful.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and FFO per diluted common share (“FFO per share”): Non-GAAP measures defined by Nareit. We believe that FFO and FFO per share are useful to REIT investors and analysts in measuring our performance because Nareit’s definition of FFO excludes items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating and financial performance. FFO represents net income before real estate-related depreciation and amortization, which is excluded because it is based upon historical costs and assumes that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions. FFO also excludes gains or losses on sale of real estate assets and real estate impairment charges, which are also based upon historical costs and are impacted by historical depreciation. FFO and FFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. FFO is not a substitute for net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because it excludes investing and financing activities presented on our consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITs may compute these measures differently, so comparisons among REITs may not be helpful.

We also present “Core FFO” and “Core FFO per share” non-GAAP measures that represent FFO and FFO per share excluding the impact of (i) foreign currency exchange gains and losses, (ii) charges related to the redemption of preferred securities, (iii) transaction and integration costs related to the NSA Merger, and (iv) certain other non-cash and/or nonrecurring income or expense items primarily representing, with respect to the periods presented below, the impact of corporate transformation costs, loss contingencies, due diligence costs incurred in pursuit of strategic transactions, cancelled project write-off, realized or unrealized gain or loss on private equity investments and non-hedge designated derivative transactions, certain CEO transition-related costs, and amortization of acquired non real estate-related intangibles. We review Core FFO and Core FFO per share to evaluate our ongoing operating performance, and we believe they are used by investors and REIT analysts in a similar manner. However, Core FFO and Core FFO per share are not substitutes for net income and net income per share. Because other REITs may not compute Core FFO or Core FFO per share in the same manner as we do, may not use the same terminology, or may not present such measures, Core FFO and Core FFO per share may not be comparable among REITs.

Net operating income (“NOI”): Net operating income or “NOI” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization expense, which is based upon historical real estate costs and assumes that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions. We utilize NOI in determining current property values, evaluating property performance, and evaluating property operating trends. We believe that investors and analysts utilize NOI in a similar manner. Direct net operating income (“Direct NOI”), a subtotal within NOI, is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of supervisory payroll, centralized management costs, and share-based compensation in addition to depreciation and amortization expense. We utilize direct net operating income in evaluating property performance and in evaluating property operating trends as compared to our competitors. We believe that investors and analysts utilize NOI and Direct NOI in a similar manner. These measures are not a substitute for net income, operating cash flow, or other related financial measures, in evaluating our operating results. See Note 14 to our June 30, 2026, consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of NOI to our total net income for all periods presented.

Realized annual rent per occupied square foot: Computed by dividing rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the weighted average occupied square feet for the period. This measure excludes 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. This measure takes into consideration promotional discounts, which reduce rental income.

Realized annual rent per available square foot: Computed by dividing rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the total available net rentable square feet for the period. Similar to realized annual rent per occupied square foot, this measure excludes late charges and administrative fees, and takes into consideration promotional discounts, which reduce rental income.

Same Store Facilities: Consist of facilities we have owned and operated on a stabilized level of occupancy, revenues, and cost of operations since January 1, 2024. The composition of our Same Store Facilities allows us more effectively to evaluate the ongoing performance of our self-storage portfolio by excluding the impact of fill-up of unstabilized facilities, which can significantly affect operating trends. We believe investors and analysts use Same Store Facilities information in a similar manner. However, because other REITs may not compute Same Store Facilities in the same manner as we do, may not use the same terminology or may not present such a measure, Same Store Facilities may not be comparable among REITs.
