From Jan 2025 to Mar 2025
Public Storage (NYSE:PSA) announced today operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2024.
“Our fourth quarter performance reflected broad operational stabilization across the portfolio,” said Joe Russell, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In the new year, we are inspired by the strength of the Los Angeles community in response to the fires and are fully supporting impacted customers and team members. Due to the associated pricing restrictions, our guidance anticipates an approximate $0.23 per share impact to Core FFO in 2025 while portfolio operations outside of Los Angeles continue to improve. Our completed Property of Tomorrow enhancement program, industry-leading transformation initiatives, sizeable and high-growth non-same store pool, and growth-oriented balance sheet have us well positioned for improving fundamentals and increased transaction market activity moving forward.”
Highlights for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024
Highlights for the Year Ended December 31, 2024
Operating Results for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2024
For the three months ended December 31, 2024, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $564.4 million or $3.21 per diluted common share, compared to $389.7 million or $2.21 per diluted common share for the same period in 2023, representing an increase of $174.7 million or $1.00 per diluted common share. The increase is due primarily to a $193.9 million increase in foreign currency gains primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable, partially offset by a $17.0 million decrease in gain on sale of real estate.
Self-storage net operating income decreased $3.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023 as a result of a $7.2 million decrease attributable to our Same Store Facilities (as defined below), partially offset by a $4.3 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities (as defined below). Revenues for the Same Store Facilities decreased 0.6% or $5.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, due primarily to a decline in occupancy partially offset by a higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 0.9% or $2.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the same period in 2023, due primarily to increased property tax expense, partially offset by decreased marketing expense and on-site property manager payroll expense. The increase in net operating income of $4.3 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, 2024
In 2024, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $1.873 billion or $10.64 per diluted common share, compared to $1.949 billion or $11.06 per diluted common share in 2023, representing a decrease of $76.1 million or $0.42 per diluted common share. The decrease is due primarily to (i) a $159.7 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, (ii) an $86.3 million increase in interest expense, (iii) a $26.0 million increase in general and administrative expense, (iv) an $18.4 million decrease in interest and other income, partially offset by (v) a $153.4 million increase in foreign currency exchange gains primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable and (vi) a $61.6 million increase in self-storage net operating income.
The $61.6 million increase in self-storage net operating income in 2024 as compared to 2023 is a result of a $108.9 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities, partially offset by a $47.3 million decrease attributable to our Same Store Facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities decreased 0.7% or $26.7 million in 2024 as compared to 2023, due primarily to a decline in occupancy and lower realized annual rent per occupied square foot. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 2.4% or $20.6 million in 2024 as compared to 2023, due primarily to increased property tax expense, marketing expense, and repairs and maintenance expense, partially offset by decreased centralized management costs and on-site property manager payroll expense. The increase in net operating income of $108.9 million for the Non-Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of facilities acquired in 2023.
Funds from Operations
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and FFO per diluted common share (“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, 2024, FFO was $4.85 per diluted common share as compared to $3.78 for the same period in 2023, representing an increase of 28.3%.
For the year ended December 31, 2024, FFO was $17.19 per diluted common share, as compared to $16.60 in 2023, representing an increase of 3.6%.
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 loss contingencies and resolutions, casualties, due diligence costs incurred in pursuit of strategic transactions, unrealized gain on private equity investments, reorganization costs, acquisition integration costs, amortization of acquired non real estate-related intangibles, a cash and stock hiring bonus for a new senior executive, and our equity share of tax effect of a change in tax status and unrealized gain on derivatives from our equity investee. 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, 2022. The composition of our Same Store Facilities allows us to more effectively evaluate the ongoing performance of our self-storage portfolio in 2022, 2023, and 2024 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 2,507 facilities (170.0 million net rentable square feet) that represent approximately 77% of the aggregate net rentable square feet of our U.S. consolidated self-storage portfolio at December 31, 2024 (unaudited):

(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 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.
(f)
Represents the absolute nominal change with respect to gross margin and square foot occupancy, and the percentage change with respect to all other items.
Property Operations – Non-Same Store Facilities
In addition to the 2,507 Same Store Facilities, we have 566 facilities that were not stabilized with respect to occupancies, revenues, or cost of operations since January 1, 2022 or that we did not own as of January 1, 2022, including 260 facilities that were acquired, 46 newly developed facilities, 86 facilities that have been expanded or are targeted for expansion, and 174 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, 2024 Form 10-K.
Investing and Capital Activities
During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we acquired 17 self-storage facilities (six in Texas, three each in Florida and Tennessee, and one each in Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, Ohio, and South Carolina) with 1.3 million net rentable square feet for $221.2 million. During 2024, we acquired 22 self-storage facilities (seven in Texas, four in Florida, three in Tennessee, two in South Carolina, and one each in Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, and Virginia) with 1.7 million net rentable square feet for $267.5 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2024, we acquired or were under contract to acquire nine self-storage facilities across six states with 0.7 million net rentable square feet, for $140.7 million.
During 2023, we acquired BREIT Simply Storage LLC (“Simply”), a self-storage company that owned and operated 127 self-storage facilities (9.4 million square feet) and managed 25 self-storage facilities (1.8 million square feet) for third parties, for a purchase price of $2.2 billion in cash. The Simply portfolio facilities generated self-storage revenues of $151.8 million, NOI of $103.9 million (including Direct NOI of $109.2 million), and average square footage occupancy of 87.7% for 2024.
During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we opened three newly developed facilities and completed various expansion projects, which together contributed 0.4 million net rentable square feet (0.1 million each in California, Florida, Maryland, and Texas) at a cost of $80.9 million. During 2024, we opened seven newly developed facilities and various expansion projects, which together contributed 1.5 million net rentable square feet (0.5 million in California, 0.3 million in Florida, 0.2 million each in Maryland and Texas, and 0.1 million each in Arizona, Nevada, and New York) at a cost of $343.4 million. At December 31, 2024, we had various facilities in development (expected to contribute 2.5 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $498.9 million and various expansion projects (expected to contribute 1.5 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $242.7 million. Our aggregate 4.0 million net rentable square foot pipeline of development and expansion facilities includes 1.5 million in Florida, 1.1 million in California, 0.5 million in Texas, and 0.1 million each in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, New York, South Carolina, and Virginia. The remaining $433.5 million of development costs for these projects are expected to be incurred primarily in the next 18 to 24 months.
During the three months and year ended December 31, 2024, we issued 184,390 of our common shares on the open market through our “at the market” offering program for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $60.3 million in cash.
Distributions Declared
On February 21, 2025, our Board of Trustees declared a regular common quarterly dividend of $3.00 per common share. The Board of Trustees also declared dividends with respect to our various series of preferred shares. All the dividends are payable on March 28, 2025 to shareholders of record as of March 13, 2025.
Outlook for the Year Ending December 31, 2025
Set forth below are our current expectations with respect to full year 2025 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 2025 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 2025 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 2025 Same Store and Non-Same Store pools for properties we owned at December 31, 2024: (i) 2,565 Same Store Facilities (175.3 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, 2023, which generated NOI of $2,844.2 million in 2024 and (ii) 508 Non-Same Store Facilities (46.0 million net rentable square feet) that were not stabilized with respect to occupancy, revenues, or cost of operations since January 1, 2023 or that we did not own as of January 1, 2023, which generated NOI of $415.1 million in 2024.

FAD represents FFO adjusted to exclude certain non-cash charges and to deduct recurring capital expenditures, which do not include capital expenditures for energy efficiencies including LED lighting and solar panel installation. 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.

(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.
