Public Storage (NYSE:PSA) announced today operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2023.
“Public Storage achieved record revenues and net operating income, quickly acquired and integrated the 90,000-customer Simply Self Storage portfolio, and reached more than 3,000 owned properties during 2023. I want to thank the entire team for their focus and determination,” said Joe Russell, President and Chief Executive Officer. “We are well positioned in 2024 with our operating model transformation enhancing the industry’s highest margins, our high growth non-same store pool comprising nearly 30% of the portfolio, and our balance sheet positioned to fund significant external growth. Our ability to drive unmatched levels of performance and profitability uniquely positions us for growth and value creation into the future.”

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2023
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $389.7 million or $2.21 per diluted common share, compared to $362.6 million or $2.06 per diluted common share for the same period in 2022, representing an increase of $27.1 million or $0.15 per diluted common share. The increase is due primarily to (i) a $37.6 million increase in self-storage net operating income, (ii) a $67.8 million decrease in foreign currency exchange losses primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable, and (iii) a $17.1 million increase in gain on sale of real estate, partially offset by (iv) a $61.0 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense and (v) a $32.5 million increase in interest expense.
The $37.6 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the three months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is a result of a $40.8 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities (as defined below), partially offset by a $3.2 million decrease attributable to our Same Store Facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 0.8% or $6.4 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot, partially offset by a decline in occupancy. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 5.1% or $9.7 million in the three months ended December 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to increased marketing expense. The increase in net operating income of $40.8 million for the Non-Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of facilities acquired in 2023.
Operating Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2023
In 2023, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $1.9 billion or $11.06 per diluted common share, compared to $4.1 billion or $23.50 per diluted common share in 2022, representing a decrease of $2.2 billion or $12.44 per diluted common share. The decrease is due primarily to (i) a $2.1 billion gain on sale of our equity investment in PSB in July 2022, (ii) a $149.5 million increase in foreign currency exchange losses primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable, (iii) a $79.1 million decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities due to our sale of PSB in July 2022, and (iv) a $64.8 million increase in interest expense, partially offset by (v) a $231.8 million increase in self-storage net operating income and (vi) a $45.0 million increase in interest and other income.
The $231.8 million increase in self-storage net operating income in 2023 as compared to 2022 is a result of a $118.2 million increase attributable to our Same Store Facilities and a $113.6 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 4.7% or $154.0 million in 2023 as compared to 2022, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot, partially offset by a decline in occupancy. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 4.7% or $35.9 million in 2023 as compared to 2022, due primarily to increased property tax expense, marketing expense, and other direct property costs. The increase in net operating income of $113.6 million for the Non-Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of facilities acquired in 2021, 2022, and 2023 and the fill-up of recently developed and expanded facilities.
Funds from Operations
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and FFO per share are 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.
For the three months ended December 31, 2023, FFO was $3.78 per diluted common share as compared to $3.38 for the same period in 2022, representing an increase of 11.8%.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, FFO was $16.60 per diluted common share, as compared to $16.46 in 2022, representing an increase of 0.9%.
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, and (iii) certain other non-cash and/or nonrecurring income or expense items primarily representing, with respect to the periods presented below, the impact of contingency resolution, casualties, due diligence costs incurred in pursuit of strategic transactions, unrealized gain on private equity investments, UPREIT reorganization costs, Simply integration costs, amortization of acquired non real estate-related intangibles from the Simply Acquisition, and our equity share of deferred tax benefits of a change in tax status, merger transaction costs, lease termination income, and severance of a senior executive from our equity investees. 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.

Property Operations – Same Store Facilities
The Same Store Facilities consist of facilities that have been owned and operated on a stabilized level of occupancy, revenues, and cost of operations since January 1, 2021. The composition of our Same Store Facilities allows us to more effectively evaluate the ongoing performance of our self-storage portfolio in 2021, 2022, and 2023 and exclude the impact of fill-up of unstabilized facilities, which can significantly affect operating trends. We believe the Same Store Facilities information is used by investors and analysts 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. The following table summarizes the historical operating results (for all periods presented) of these 2,339 facilities (154.9 million net rentable square feet) that represent approximately 71% of the aggregate net rentable square feet of our U.S. consolidated self-storage portfolio at December 31, 2023 (unaudited):

(a)
Revenues and cost of operations do not include tenant reinsurance and merchandise sales and expenses generated at the facilities.
(b)
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.
(c)
See reconciliation of self-storage NOI to net income provided below.
(d)
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.
(e)
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.
Property Operations – Non-Same Store Facilities
In addition to the 2,339 Same Store Facilities, we have 705 facilities that were not stabilized with respect to occupancies, revenues, or cost of operations since January 1, 2021 or that we did not own as of January 1, 2021, including 470 facilities that were acquired, 57 newly developed facilities, 88 facilities that have been expanded or are targeted for expansion, and 90 facilities that are unstabilized because they are undergoing fill-up or were damaged in casualty events (collectively, the “Non-Same Store Facilities”). Operating data, metrics, and further commentary with respect to these facilities, including detail by vintage, are included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under “Analysis of Net Income – Self-Storage Operations” in our December 31, 2023 Form 10-K.
Investing and Capital Activities
During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we closed the acquisition of eleven self-storage facilities (four in Arizona and one each in Alabama, Colorado, Hawaii, Missouri, Oregon, South Carolina, and Utah) with 0.8 million net rentable square feet for $171.9 million.
During 2023, we added 164 self-storage facilities (12.1 million net rentable square feet) to our self-storage portfolio through acquisitions including 127 self-storage facilities from the Simply Acquisition (38 in Texas, 21 in Florida, twelve in Oklahoma, nine each in Michigan, South Carolina, and Tennessee, eight in Indiana, five each in Georgia, New Jersey, and Ohio, four each in Arizona, California, Illinois, Mississippi, and New York, three each in Minnesota, North Carolina, and Washington, two each in Alabama and Virginia, and one each in Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Missouri, Oregon, Pennsylvania, and Utah) for $2.7 billion.
The Simply portfolio of 127 properties (9.4 million net rentable square feet) generated self-storage revenues of $44.4 million, NOI of $29.4 million (including Direct NOI of $31.2 million), and average square footage occupancy of 87.7% for 2023 since the acquisition.
During 2021, we acquired a portfolio of 48 properties (4.1 million net rentable square feet) operated under the brand name of ezStorage for $1.8 billion. As of December 31, 2023, we have completed the expansion projects on four facilities of this portfolio for $26.5 million, adding 169,000 net rentable square feet of storage space. These facilities generated revenues of $105.1 million, NOI of $82.2 million (including Direct NOI of $84.5 million), and average square footage occupancy of 86.3% for 2023.
During 2021, we acquired a portfolio of 56 properties (7.5 million net rentable square feet) operated under the brand name of All Storage for $1.5 billion. These facilities generated revenues of $89.1 million, NOI of $59.0 million (including Direct NOI of $61.8 million), and average square footage occupancy of 77.9% for 2023.
During the three months ended December 31, 2023, we opened five newly developed facilities and various expansion projects which together contributed 0.8 million net rentable square feet (0.4 million in Texas and 0.1 million each in California, Michigan, New Jersey, and Rhode Island) at a cost of $190.3 million. During 2023, we opened eleven newly developed facilities and various expansion projects which together contributed 1.7 million net rentable square feet (0.5 million in Texas, 0.2 million each in California and New Jersey, 0.1 million each in Florida, Kansas, Maryland, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Tennessee) at a cost of $362.9 million. At December 31, 2023, we had various facilities in development (expected to contribute 2.3 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $461.4 million and various expansion projects (expected to contribute 1.3 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $304.8 million. Our aggregate 3.6 million net rentable square foot pipeline of development and expansion facilities includes 1.2 million in California, 0.8 million in Florida, 0.5 million in Texas, 0.3 million in Nevada, 0.2 million each in Maryland and New York, and 0.4 million in other states. The remaining $420.7 million of development costs for these projects are expected to be incurred primarily in the next 18 to 24 months.
Outlook for the Year Ending December 31, 2024
Set forth below are our current expectations with respect to full year 2024 Core FFO per share and certain underlying assumptions. In reliance on the exception provided by applicable SEC rules, we do not provide guidance for GAAP net income per share, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, or a reconciliation of 2024 Core FFO per share to GAAP net income per share because we are unable to reasonably predict the following items which are included in GAAP net income: (i) gains or losses on sales of real estate investments, (ii) foreign currency exchange gains and losses, (iii) charges related to the redemption of preferred securities, and (iv) certain other significant non-cash and/or nonrecurring income or expense items. The actual amounts for any and all of these items could significantly impact our 2024 GAAP net income and, as disclosed in our historical financial results, have significantly impacted GAAP net income in prior periods. Our expectations on self-storage operations reflect the following updated 2024 Same Store and Non-Same Store pools for properties we owned at December 31, 2023: (i) 2,507 Same Store Facilities (170.0 million net rentable square feet) that we have owned and operated on a stabilized level of occupancy, revenues, and cost of operations since January 1, 2022, which generated NOI of $2,828.6 million in 2023 and (ii) 537 Non-Same Store Facilities (48.1 million net rentable square feet) that were not stabilized with respect to occupancy, revenues, or cost of operations since January 1, 2022 or that we did not own as of January 1, 2022, which generated NOI of $369.1 million in 2023.

(a)
FAD represents FFO adjusted to exclude certain non-cash charges and to deduct capital expenditures. 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.
(b)
A special dividend of $13.15 per common share was paid on August 4, 2022, in connection with the gain on sale of our equity investment in PSB on July 20, 2022.
(c)
Supplemental payout ratio, excluding the impact of the special dividend, which was due to the gain on sale of our equity investment in PSB. This supplemental measure is presented to portray regular dividends, because FAD excludes the gain on sale of our equity investment in PSB.

(a)
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 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 operating trends. We believe that investors and analysts utilize NOI in a similar manner. NOI is not a substitute for net income, 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 net income presented on our income statement.
