National Storage Affiliates Trust Reports First Quarter 2023 Results
GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo. - (BUSINESS WIRE) - National Storage Affiliates Trust ("NSA" or the "Company") (NYSE: NSA) today reported the Company’s first quarter 2023 results.
First Quarter 2023 Highlights
Reported net income of $40.4 million for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 9.8% compared to the first quarter of 2022. Reported diluted earnings per share of $0.24 for the first quarter of 2023 compared to $0.24 for the first quarter of 2022.
Reported core funds from operations ("Core FFO") of $85.9 million, or $0.66 per share for the first quarter of 2023, a decrease of 2.9% per share compared to the first quarter of 2022, driven by same store growth and net operating income (“NOI”) contribution from non-same store properties, which was more than offset by elevated interest expense due primarily to higher interest rates.
Reported an increase in same store NOI of 4.8% for the first quarter of 2023 compared to the same period in 2022, driven by a 5.7% increase in same store total revenues partially offset by an increase of 8.3% in same store property operating expenses.
Reported same store period-end occupancy of 89.8% as of March 31, 2023, a decrease of 380 basis points compared to March 31, 2022.
Acquired 16 wholly-owned self storage properties for approximately $160.5 million during the first quarter of 2023. 15 of the properties were acquired in a portfolio from affiliates of Personal Mini, one of the Company's PROs, for approximately $144.8 million. Consideration for these acquisitions included the issuance of $150.5 million of equity, with a new class of preferred shares representing the majority of equity issued.
Repurchased 1,622,874 of the Company's common shares for approximately $69.3 million under the previously announced share repurchase program.
As previously announced, one of the Company's participating regional operators ("PROs"), Move It Self Storage and its controlled affiliates ("Move It"), retired effective January 1, 2023. As a result of the retirement, on January 1, 2023, management of the Company's 72 properties in the Move It managed portfolio was transferred to NSA and the Move It brand name and related intellectual property were internalized by the Company. In addition, NSA no longer pays supervisory and administrative fees or reimbursements to Move It and all subordinated performance units related to Move It's managed portfolio converted into OP units.
As previously announced, the Company increased the total borrowing capacity under the Company's credit facility by $405.0 million to $1.955 billion, and used incremental borrowings under the credit facility to retire $300.0 million of its $375.0 million of debt maturing in 2023.
Highlights Subsequent to Quarter-End
Kroll Bond Rating Agency affirmed the issuer credit rating of NSA's operating partnership as BBB+ with a Stable Outlook.
On April 27, 2023, the operating partnership as issuer, and the Company entered into a note purchase agreement which provides for the private placement of $120.0 million of senior unsecured notes due July 5, 2028, with an effective interest rate of 5.75%, after taking into account the effect of interest rate swaps. The private placement closed on the same day.

David Cramer, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We began the year with a solid quarter of operating results. We continue to moderate from the record setting levels of 2022, delivering same store revenue growth of 5.7% which is still above the long-term historical sector average. The slowing economy and a muted housing market will continue to apply pressure to demand levels. Our teams did a good job navigating the changing economic environment and remain focused on executing strategies to capture new customers as we progress through the spring leasing season. Operating trends over the next couple months will be key to performance for the full year.”

Net income decreased $4.4 million for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. Total revenue and NOI increased by $20.8 million and $13.2 million, respectively, resulting primarily from additional NOI generated from the 33 wholly-owned self storage properties acquired between April 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022, and 16 wholly-owned self storage properties acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2023, and same store NOI growth. These increases in total revenue and NOI were offset by an increase in interest expense of $15.3 million for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022.
The decrease in FFO and Core FFO for the first quarter of 2023 was primarily the result of a decrease in net income of 9.8%, partially offset by a decrease in distributions on subordinated performance units, as compared to the same period in 2022.

image0a93a.jpg
Year-over-year same store total revenues increased 5.7% for the first quarter of 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The increase was driven primarily by a 10.1% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot, partially offset by a 3.8% decrease in average occupancy. Markets which generated above portfolio average same store total revenue growth for the first quarter of 2023 include: Riverside, McAllen and Oklahoma City. Markets which generated below portfolio average same store total revenue growth for the first quarter of 2023 include: Las Vegas, Phoenix and Colorado Springs.
Year-over-year same store property operating expenses increased 8.3% for the first quarter of 2023. The increase primarily resulted from increases in property tax expense, utilities, and marketing expense. The increase in property tax was partially the result of a favorable property tax adjustment in the first quarter of 2022.
Investment Activity
During the first quarter, NSA invested $160.5 million in the acquisition of 16 self storage properties sourced from our captive pipeline, consisting of approximately 960,000 rentable square feet configured in approximately 7,900 storage units. Total consideration for these acquisitions included approximately $9.9 million of net cash, $113.3 million of 6.000% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares ("Series B Preferred Shares"), and $37.2 million of subordinated performance units.
Balance Sheet
During the first quarter, NSA repurchased 1,622,874 of the Company's common shares for approximately $69.3 million under the previously announced share repurchase program. Under the program, the Company has remaining capacity of approximately $241.0 million out of a total of $400.0 million authorized.
Common Share Dividends
On February 22, 2023, NSA's Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.55 per common share, representing a 10.0% increase from the first quarter 2022. The first quarter 2023 dividend was paid on March 30, 2023 to shareholders of record as of March 15, 2023.

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. The presentations of FFO, Core FFO and NOI in this press release are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. 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.

(1) Amounts represent distributions declared for subordinated performance unitholders and DownREIT subordinated performance unitholders for the periods presented.
(2) 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.

(3) 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.
(4) Represents the effect of adjusting the numerator to consolidated net income 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).

(1) Effective interest rate incorporates the stated rate plus the impact of interest rate cash flow hedges and discount and premium amortization, if applicable.
(2) For the $950 million revolving line of credit, the effective interest rate is calculated based on one month SOFR plus an applicable margin of 1.30% and a SOFR Index Adjustment of .10%, and excludes fees which range from 0.15% to 0.20% for unused borrowings.
(3) $25.0 million of Tranche B, $25.0 million of Tranche C, and $5.0 million of Tranche E are subject to variable interest rates, which is reflected in the effective interest rate. Additionally, $75.0 million of Tranche C and $100.0 million of Tranche D is swapped to fixed using derivative instruments that expire in July 2023, after which those portions of the balances will be subject to variable rate interest rates.

(4) Balances exclude 252,894 long-term incentive plan ("LTIP") units which only vest and participate in dividend distributions upon the future contribution of properties from the PROs or the completion of expansion projects.
(5) If converted balance assumes that each subordinated performance unit (including each DownREIT subordinated performance unit) is convertible into OP units, notwithstanding the two-year lock-out period on conversions for certain series of subordinated performance units, and that each subordinated performance unit would on average convert on a hypothetical basis into an estimated 1.63 OP units based on historical financial information for the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2023. The hypothetical conversions are calculated by dividing the average cash available for distribution, or CAD, per subordinated performance unit by 110% of the CAD per OP unit over the same period. The Company anticipates that as CAD grows over time, the conversion ratio will also grow, including to levels that may exceed these amounts.
(6) We have reflected 4,608,445 Series B Preferred Shares herein, which corresponds to the $115.2 million liquidation preference reflected on the balance sheet at March 31, 2023, although the Company’s balance sheet describes 5,668,128 Series B Preferred Shares issued and outstanding at March 31, 2023. As part of a March 16, 2023 property acquisition of 15 properties from an affiliate of Personal Mini, the Company recorded a $26.1 million promissory note receivable from the Personal Mini affiliate, and the affiliate of Personal Mini used the loan proceeds to acquire $26.1 million of subordinated performance units. The promissory note bears interest at a rate equivalent to the dividends paid on 1,059,683 Series B Preferred Shares. As a result of these agreements, in accordance with GAAP, the $26.1 million promissory note receivable, interest income on the promissory note receivable, $26.1 million of Series B Preferred Shares value, and dividends on such Series B Preferred Shares have been offset for presentation purposes in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and consolidated statements of operations.

(1) Values represent entire unconsolidated real estate ventures at 100%, not NSA's proportionate share. NSA's ownership in each of the unconsolidated real estate ventures is 25%.
(2) NSA's proportionate share of its unconsolidated real estate ventures is derived by applying NSA's 25% ownership interest to each line item in the GAAP financial statements of the unconsolidated real estate ventures to calculate NSA's share of that line item. NSA believes this information offers insights into the financial performance of the Company, although the presentation of such information, and its combination with NSA's consolidated results, may not accurately depict the legal and economic implications of holding a noncontrolling interest in the unconsolidated real estate ventures. The operating agreements of the unconsolidated real estate ventures provide for the distribution of net cash flow to the unconsolidated real estate ventures' investors no less than monthly, generally in proportion to the investors’ respective ownership interests, subject to a promoted distribution to NSA upon the achievement of certain performance benchmarks by the non-NSA investor.

Glossary
This Earnings Release and Supplemental Financial Information includes certain financial and operating measures used by NSA management that are not calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP. NSA's definitions and calculations of these non-GAAP financial and operating measures and other terms may differ from the definitions and methodologies used by other real estate companies and, accordingly, may not be comparable. These non-GAAP financial and operating measures should not be considered an alternative to GAAP net income or any other GAAP measurement of performance and should not be considered an alternative measure of liquidity.
AVERAGE ANNUALIZED RENTAL REVENUE PER OCCUPIED SQUARE FOOT: Average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot is computed by dividing annualized rental revenue (including fees and net of any discounts and uncollectible customer amounts) by average occupied square feet.
AVERAGE OCCUPANCY: Average occupancy is calculated based on the average of the month-end occupancy immediately preceding the period presented and the month-end occupancies included in the respective period presented.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES DEFINITIONS
ACQUISITIONS CAPITAL EXPENDITURES: Acquisitions capital expenditures represents the portion of capital expenditures capitalized during the current period that were identified and underwritten prior to a property's acquisition.
RECURRING CAPITAL EXPENDITURES: Recurring capital expenditures represents the portion of capital expenditures that are deemed to replace the consumed portion of acquired capital assets and extend their useful lives.
VALUE ENHANCING CAPITAL EXPENDITURES: Value enhancing capital expenditures represents the portion of capital expenditures that are made to enhance the revenue and value of an asset from its original purchase condition.
EBITDA: NSA defines EBITDA as net income (loss), as determined under GAAP, plus interest expense, loss on early extinguishment of debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense and the Company's share of unconsolidated real estate venture depreciation and amortization. NSA defines ADJUSTED EBITDA as EBITDA plus acquisition costs, equity-based compensation expense, losses on sale of properties, impairment of long-lived assets and casualty-related expenses, minus gains on sale of properties and debt forgiveness, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. These further adjustments eliminate the impact of items that the Company does not consider indicative of its core operating performance. In evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future the Company may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. NSA's presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that its future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
NSA presents EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because the Company believes they assist investors and analysts in comparing the Company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the Company's cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures, contractual commitments or working capital needs;
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on the Company's debts;
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
Adjusted EBITDA excludes equity-based compensation expense, which is and will remain a key element of the Company's overall long-term incentive compensation package, although the Company excludes it as an expense when evaluating its ongoing operating performance for a particular period;
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters the Company considers not to be indicative of its ongoing operations; and
22

image0a93a.jpg
other companies in NSA's industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than NSA does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
NSA compensates for these limitations by considering the economic effect of the excluded expense items independently as well as in connection with the Company's analysis of net income (loss). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as total revenues and net income (loss).
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS: Funds from operations, or FFO, is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance. The December 2018 Nareit Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement, which the Company refers to as the White Paper, defines FFO as net income (as determined under GAAP), excluding: real estate depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, mark-to-market changes in value recognized on equity securities, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and impairment of investments in entities when it is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and after items to record unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. Distributions declared on subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units represent NSA's allocation of FFO to noncontrolling interests held by subordinated performance unitholders and DownREIT subordinated performance unitholders. For purposes of calculating FFO attributable to common shareholders, OP unitholders, and LTIP unitholders, NSA excludes distributions declared on subordinated performance units, DownREIT subordinated performance units, preferred shares and preferred units. NSA defines CORE FFO as FFO, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that the Company does not consider indicative of its core operating performance. These further adjustments consist of acquisition costs, gains on debt forgiveness, gains (losses) on early extinguishment of debt, casualty-related expenses or losses, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Management uses FFO and Core FFO as key performance indicators in evaluating the operations of NSA's properties. Given the nature of NSA's business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company considers FFO and Core FFO as key supplemental measures of its operating performance that are not specifically defined by GAAP. NSA believes that FFO and Core FFO are useful to management and investors as a starting point in measuring the Company's operational performance because FFO and Core FFO exclude various items included in net income (loss) that do not relate to or are not indicative of the Company's operating performance such as gains (or losses) from sales of self storage properties and depreciation, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. NSA's computation of FFO and Core FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies.
FFO and Core FFO should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as total revenues, operating income and net income (loss). FFO and Core FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and are not a measure of liquidity or an indicator of NSA's ability to make cash distributions. NSA believes that to further understand the Company's performance, FFO and Core FFO should be compared with the Company's reported net income (loss) and considered in addition to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the Company's consolidated financial statements.
NET DEBT TO ANNUALIZED CURRENT QUARTER ADJUSTED EBITDA: NSA calculates net debt to Adjusted EBITDA as total debt (inclusive of $4.0 million of fair value of debt adjustments and $14.3 million of debt issuance costs) less cash and cash equivalents, divided by annualized current quarter Adjusted EBITDA.
NET OPERATING INCOME:  Net operating income, or NOI, represents rental revenue plus other property-related revenue less property operating expenses. NOI is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.
NSA believes NOI is useful to investors in evaluating the Company's operating performance because:
NOI is one of the primary measures used by NSA's management and the Company's PROs to evaluate the economic productivity of the Company's properties, including the Company's ability to lease its properties, increase pricing and occupancy and control the Company's property operating expenses;
NOI is widely used in the real estate industry and the self storage industry to measure the performance and value of real estate assets without regard to various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods, the book value of assets, and the impact of NSA's capital structure; and
NSA believes NOI helps the Company's investors to meaningfully compare the results of its operating performance from period to period by removing the impact of the Company's capital structure (primarily interest expense on the Company's outstanding indebtedness) and depreciation of the cost basis of NSA's assets from its operating results.

There are material limitations to using a non-GAAP measure such as NOI, including the difficulty associated with comparing results among more than one company and the inability to analyze certain significant items, including depreciation and interest expense, that directly affect the Company's net income (loss). NSA compensates for these limitations by considering the economic effect of the excluded expense items independently as well as in connection with the Company's analysis of net income (loss). NOI should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as total revenues and net loss.
NON-SAME STORE PORTFOLIO: Non-same store portfolio comprises those properties that do not meet the Same Store portfolio property definition. 
OPERATING PARTNERSHIP UNITS:  Operating partnership units, or OP Units, are Class A common units of limited partner interest in the Company's operating partnership which are economically equivalent to NSA's common shares. NSA also owns certain of the Company's self storage properties through other consolidated limited partnership subsidiaries of the Company's operating partnership, which the Company refers to as "DownREIT partnerships." The DownREIT partnerships issue certain units of limited partner or limited liability company interest that are intended to be economically equivalent to the Company's OP units, which the Company defines as DOWNREIT OPERATING PARTNERSHIP UNIT EQUIVALENTS, or DownREIT OP units.
PROs: Participating regional operators, or "PROs", are NSA's experienced regional self storage operators with local operational focus and expertise. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had eight PROs: Optivest Properties, Guardian Storage Centers, Storage Solutions, Hide-Away, Personal Mini, Southern Self Storage, Moove In Self Storage and Blue Sky Self Storage. Effective January 1, 2023, following the voluntary retirement of Move It Self Storage as a PRO, the management of Move It's branded properties was transferred to NSA.
RENTABLE SQUARE FEET: Rentable square feet includes all enclosed self storage units but excludes commercial, residential, and covered parking space.
SAME STORE PORTFOLIO: NSA's same store portfolio is defined as those properties owned and operated on a stabilized basis since the first day of the earliest year presented. The Company considers a property to be stabilized once it has achieved an occupancy rate that is representative of similar properties in the applicable market. NSA excludes any properties sold, expected to be sold or subject to significant changes such as expansions or casualty events which cause the portfolio's year-over-year operating results to no longer be comparable.
SUBORDINATED PERFORMANCE UNITS:  Subordinated performance units, or SP Units, are Class B common units of limited partner interest in the Company's operating partnership. SP units, which are linked to the performance of specific contributed portfolios, are intended to incentivize the Company's PROs to drive operating performance and support the sustainability of the operating cash flow generated by the contributed self storage properties that the PROs continue to manage on NSA's behalf. Because subordinated performance unit holders receive distributions only after portfolio-specific minimum performance thresholds are satisfied, the Company believes SP units play a key role in aligning the interests of the Company's PROs with NSA and the Company's shareholders. The DownREIT partnerships also issue units of limited partner interest that are intended to be economically equivalent to the Company's SP units, which the Company defines as DOWNREIT SUBORDINATED PERFORMANCE UNIT EQUIVALENTS, or DownREIT SP units.
