Net income increased $2.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 and increased $10.3 million for full year 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase was primarily the result of incremental NOI generated from 57 wholly-owned self storage properties acquired during full year 2018 and same store NOI growth, partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization and interest expense.

The increases in FFO and Core FFO for the fourth quarter of 2018 and full year 2018 were primarily the result of incremental NOI from properties acquired during full year 2018, same store NOI growth, and incremental FFO from the Company's unconsolidated real estate ventures, partially offset by higher interest expense and the payment of dividends on preferred shares.

($ in thousands, except per square foot data)     Three Months Ended December 31,     Year Ended December 31,
2018   2017   Growth     2018   2017   Growth

Year-over-year same store total revenues increased 4.2% for the fourth quarter of 2018 and 4.0% for full year 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017. The increase in the fourth quarter of 2018 was driven primarily by a 4.4% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot partially offset by a 50 basis point decrease in average occupancy. The full year 2018 increase resulted primarily from a 4.1% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot partially offset by a 20 basis point decrease in average occupancy.

Year-over-year same store property operating expenses increased 2.0% for the fourth quarter of 2018 and 2.6% for full year 2018 as compared to the same periods in 2017. These increases primarily resulted from increases in property taxes, personnel costs and repairs and maintenance expenses.

Investment Activity

NSA acquired seven wholly-owned self storage properties located in four states consisting of approximately 0.4 million rentable square feet configured in approximately 3,000 storage units during the fourth quarter of 2018. Consideration for these acquisitions included approximately $49.2 million of net cash, the issuance of approximately $2.0 million of OP equity and the assumption of approximately $0.2 million of other working capital liabilities.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, NSA formed the 2018 Joint Venture, in which the Company has a 25% ownership interest, with an affiliate of Heitman America Real Estate REIT LLC. In September 2018, the 2018 Joint Venture completed the acquisition of a portfolio of 112 self storage properties located across 17 states and Puerto Rico, consisting of over 8 million rentable square feet configured in over 68,000 storage units for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $1.325 billion. Immediately following the closing of the acquisition, the 2018 Joint Venture distributed the six self storage properties in the portfolio located in Puerto Rico and a single self storage property located in Ohio to NSA.

Including the seven self storage properties acquired by NSA from the 2018 Joint Venture discussed above, during the full year 2018, NSA invested $356.6 million in the acquisition of 57 wholly-owned self storage properties located in 13 states and Puerto Rico consisting of approximately 3.2 million rentable square feet configured in approximately 28,000 storage units.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, NSA's 2016 Joint Venture invested in three self storage properties and an expansion project at an existing property for $28.5 million, comprising approximately 0.2 million rentable square feet, configured in approximately 1,300 storage units.

Subsequent to December 31, 2018, NSA acquired 23 wholly-owned self storage properties located in six states consisting of approximately 1.3 million rentable square feet configured in approximately 11,000 storage units for approximately $147.0 million. Consideration for these acquisitions included approximately $122.9 million of net cash, the issuance of approximately $23.7 million of OP units, subordinated performance units and Series A-1 preferred units and the assumption of approximately $0.4 million of other working capital liabilities.

In addition, in February 2019, NSA entered into definitive agreements to add Moove In Self Storage of York, Pennsylvania as NSA’s tenth PRO. Moove In currently owns 19 self storage properties and operates a total of 23 self storage properties under the Moove In Self Storage brand in Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York. Upon closing, Moove In intends to contribute six self storage properties to NSA as part of the initial contribution transaction, and Moove In's remaining properties will be added to NSA's captive pipeline. The Company expects the initial contribution transaction and related closing documentation, including the entry into a facilities portfolio management agreement, to close during the first quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.

Balance Sheet

NSA entered into an agreement with a lender for a new $75 million term loan during the fourth quarter of 2018. The term loan matures in ten years and has an effective interest rate of 4.62%. NSA used the proceeds from the term loan to repay outstanding amounts under its revolving line of credit.

Common Share Dividends

On February 21, 2019, NSA's Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.30 per common share, which will be paid on March 29, 2019 to shareholders of record as of March 15, 2019.

2019 Guidance

Tamara Fischer, President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, "Our same store pool in 2019 will increase by 63 stores for a total of 439 stores. These newly added stores are geographically diversified across 19 states and we anticipate these stores to have a relatively neutral impact on our projected 2019 same store revenue growth. In addition, we've already acquired or have under contract to acquire an additional 30 wholly-owned self storage properties for approximately $190 million during the first quarter of 2019, reflecting our continued commitment to our growth initiatives as we begin 2019."

Non-GAAP Financial Measures & Glossary

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are presented because NSA's management believes these measures help investors understand NSA's business, performance and ability to earn and distribute cash to its shareholders by providing perspectives not immediately apparent from net income (loss). These measures are also frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties.

In addition, NSA's method of calculating these measures may be different from methods used by other companies, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures as calculated by other companies that do not use the same methodology as NSA. These measures, and other words and phrases used herein, are defined in the Glossary in the supplemental financial information and, where appropriate, reconciliations of these measures and other non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the Schedules to this press release and in the supplemental financial information.

NSA combines OP units and DownREIT OP units with common shares because, after the applicable lock-out periods, OP units in the Company's operating partnership are redeemable for cash or, at NSA's option, exchangeable for common shares on a one-for-one basis and DownREIT OP units are also redeemable for cash or, at NSA's option, exchangeable for OP units in the Company's operating partnership on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments in each case. Subordinated performance units, DownREIT subordinated performance units, and LTIP units may also, under certain circumstances, be convertible into or exchangeable for common shares (or other units that are convertible into or exchangeable for common shares). See footnote(3) for additional discussion of subordinated performance units, DownREIT subordinated performance units, and LTIP units in the calculation of FFO and Core FFO per share and unit.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method for the company's restricted common shares and the treasury stock method for certain unvested LTIP units, and assumes the conversion of vested LTIP units into OP units on a one-for-one basis and the hypothetical conversion of subordinated performance units, and DownREIT subordinated performance units into OP units, even though such units may only be convertible into OP units (i) after a lock-out period and (ii) upon certain events or conditions. For additional information about the conversion of subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units into OP units, see Note 10 to the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The computation of weighted average shares and units for FFO and Core FFO per share and unit includes all restricted common shares and LTIP units that participate in distributions and excludes all subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units because their effect has been accounted for through the allocation of FFO to the related unitholders based on distributions declared.

Represents the effect of adjusting the numerator to consolidated net income (loss) prior to GAAP allocations for noncontrolling interests, after deducting preferred share and unit distributions, and before the application of the two-class method and treasury stock method, as described in footnote(3).
