National Storage Affiliates Trust Reports Third Quarter 2019 Results

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- National Storage Affiliates Trust (“NSA” or the "Company") (NYSE: NSA) today reported the Company’s third quarter 2019 results.

Third Quarter 2019 Highlights

  • Reported net income of $16.5 million for the third quarter of 2019, a decrease of 1.9% compared to the third quarter of 2018. Reported loss per share of $0.20 for the third quarter of 2019, primarily relating to the HLBV method for allocating net income among the various classes of equity.
  • Reported core funds from operations ("Core FFO") of $36.7 million, or $0.40 per share for the third quarter of 2019, an increase of 11.1% per share compared to the third quarter of 2018.
  • Achieved same store net operating income ("NOI") growth of 4.2% for the third quarter of 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, driven by a 3.7% increase in same store total revenues and a 2.7% increase in same store property operating expenses.
  • Acquired six wholly-owned self storage properties for $35.8 million during the third quarter of 2019. Consideration for these acquisitions included the issuance of approximately $1.0 million of OP equity.
  • Issued $100.0 million of 3.98% senior unsecured notes due August 30, 2029 and $50.0 million of 4.08% senior unsecured notes due August 30, 2031 in the Company's inaugural debt private placement.
  • Executed an agreement with lenders to extend maturities and increase the total borrowing capacity under the Company's credit facility by $255.0 million for a total credit facility of $1.275 billion.

Arlen Nordhagen, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "Once again, our quarterly results were slightly ahead of expectations and included strong 4.2% same store NOI growth driven by a 3.7% increase in same store total revenues. These operating results combined with the acquisition of 62 self storage properties during the first three quarters of 2019 generated an excellent 11.1% increase in third quarter 2019 Core FFO per share."

Tamara Fischer, President and Chief Financial Officer, added, "With the amendment of our credit facility and the closing of a debt private placement during the third quarter, our balance sheet is well positioned to fund our long-term growth plans. We ended the third quarter with a weighted average cost of debt of 3.5%, a weighted average maturity of 6.2 years and the full borrowing capacity available under our $500.0 million revolving line of credit."

Ms. Fischer continued, "Given third quarter results were slightly ahead of expectations, and we expect fourth quarter operating expenses to be lower than prior forecasts, we are again increasing guidance for Core FFO per share and same store NOI growth assumptions for full-year 2019."

Net income decreased $0.3 million for the third quarter of 2019 and increased $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 ("year-to-date") as compared to the same periods in 2018. The decrease for the third quarter of 2019 resulted from increases in depreciation and amortization, interest expense, general and administrative expenses and GAAP losses from the Company's unconsolidated real estate ventures substantially offset by additional NOI generated primarily from 69 wholly-owned self storage properties acquired between October 1, 2018 and September 30, 2019 and same store NOI growth. The year-to-date increase was the result of additional NOI generated primarily from 69 wholly-owned self storage properties acquired between October 1, 2018 and September 30, 2019, same store NOI growth and gain on sale of self storage properties, partially offset by increases in interest expense, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expenses and GAAP losses from the Company's unconsolidated real estate ventures.

The increases in FFO and Core FFO for the third quarter of 2019 and year-to-date were primarily the result of incremental NOI from properties acquired between October 1, 2018 and September 30, 2019, same store NOI growth, and incremental FFO from the Company's unconsolidated real estate ventures, partially offset by higher interest expense, general and administrative expenses and increases in distributions to subordinated performance unitholders.

Year-over-year same store total revenues increased 3.7% for the third quarter of 2019 and 4.4% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2018. The increases were driven primarily by a 3.3% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot for the third quarter of 2019 and a 3.7% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot year-to-date combined with a 30 basis point increase in average occupancy in both periods. Markets that generated above portfolio average same store total revenue growth include: Riverside-San Bernardino, Atlanta, and Las Vegas. Markets that generated below portfolio average same store total revenue growth include: Portland, Dallas and Tulsa.

Year-over-year same store property operating expenses increased 2.7% for the third quarter of 2019 and 2.1% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2018. These increases primarily resulted from increases in property taxes, personnel costs and repairs and maintenance expenses partially offset by decreases in insurance costs.

Investment Activity

NSA acquired six wholly-owned self storage properties located across four states consisting of approximately 0.3 million rentable square feet configured in approximately 3,200 storage units during the third quarter of 2019. Total consideration for these acquisitions of $35.8 million included approximately $34.6 million of net cash, the issuance of approximately $1.0 million of subordinated performance units and the assumption of approximately $0.2 million of other working capital liabilities.

Balance Sheet

On July 29, 2019, NSA executed an agreement with a syndicated group of lenders to amend its credit facility, increasing the total capacity by $255.0 million for a total credit facility of $1.275 billion (the "amended credit facility"), which included an additional $100 million of revolving line of credit capacity and $155.0 million of additional term loan borrowings. The agreement also reduced the spread for the revolving line of credit by 10 basis points and the weighted average interest rate of the credit facility's term loan borrowings by 7 basis points, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps.

The Company's amended credit facility consists of the following components: (i) a revolving line of credit that matures in January 2024 which provides for a total borrowing commitment up to $500.0 million, (ii) a $125.0 million Term Loan A that matures in January 2023, (iii) a $250.0 million Term Loan B that matures in July 2024, (iv) a $225.0 million Term Loan C that matures in January 2025, and (v) a $175.0 million Term Loan D that matures in July 2026. The Company has an expansion option under the credit facility, which if fully exercised, would provide for a total borrowing capacity under the credit facility of $1.750 billion.

On August 30, 2019, the Company's operating partnership issued $100.0 million of 3.98% senior unsecured notes due August 30, 2029 and $50.0 million of 4.08% senior unsecured notes due August 30, 2031 (the "Senior Unsecured Notes") in a private placement to certain institutional accredited investors.

Common Share Dividends

On August 22, 2019, NSA's Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.32 per common share, which was paid on September 30, 2019 to shareholders of record as of September 13, 2019.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures & Glossary

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures.

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.

(1)

Adjustment accounts for the difference between the weighted average number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share and the weighted average number of shares used to calculate 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.

(2)

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(1).
