Non - GAAP Measures This presentation contains non - GAAP measures, including FFO, NOI, and EBITDA . Non - GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) or other GAAP financial measures, as an indicator of financial performance and are not an alternative to, or more meaningful than, cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity .

Please refer to Public Storage’s and National Storage Affiliates’ SEC periodic reports and the reconciliations attached to this presentation for definitions of these non - GAAP measures and reconciliations to the nearest GAAP measures .
