National Storage Affiliates Trust Reports Second Quarter 2025 Results

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2025-- National Storage Affiliates Trust ("NSA" or the "Company") (NYSE: NSA) today reported the Company’s second quarter 2025 results.

Second Quarter 2025 Highlights

  • Reported net income of $31.0 million for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 4.1% compared to the second quarter of 2024. Reported diluted earnings per share of $0.19 for the second quarter of 2025 compared to $0.16 for the second quarter of 2024.
  • Reported core funds from operations ("Core FFO") of $74.4 million, or $0.55 per share for the second quarter of 2025, a decrease of 11.3% per share compared to the second quarter of 2024.
  • Reported a decrease in same store net operating income ("NOI") of 6.1% for the second quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, driven by a 3.0% decrease in same store total revenues and a 4.6% increase in same store property operating expenses.
  • Reported same store period-end occupancy of 85.0% as of June 30, 2025, a decrease of 220 basis points compared to June 30, 2024.
  • Acquired one wholly-owned self storage property and one property that is considered an annex to an existing property for approximately $11.4 million and one of NSA's unconsolidated real estate ventures acquired one self storage property for approximately $18.0 million during the second quarter of 2025.
  • Entered into an agreement to sell ten wholly-owned self storage properties for approximately $66.5 million. Eight of the properties were sold in June 2025, while the remaining two properties are classified as held for sale as of June 30, 2025 and were sold in July 2025.

Highlights Subsequent to Quarter-End

  • On July 22, 2025, one of NSA's unconsolidated real estate ventures acquired one self storage property for approximately $21.8 million. The venture financed the acquisition with capital contributions from the venture members, of which the Company contributed approximately $5.4 million.

David Cramer, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "During the second quarter, we realized sequential improvement from the prior quarter in the level of contract rate, occupancy and our rent roll-down spread. However, these positives were outweighed by continued softness in storage demand primarily driven by low existing home sales and ongoing supply pressure, especially in our Sunbelt markets, which also impacted the pace of realizing the benefits from the internalization of our PRO structure. Further, the elevated use of concessions during the quarter that drove rental volume has a near-term negative impact on revenues. The combination of these factors weighed on same store NOI and Core FFO results for the quarter and was the primary driver of our revised guidance ranges."

Mr. Cramer further commented, “While macroeconomic conditions have fallen short of our expectations, we are seeing positive momentum from our enhanced marketing and revenue management strategies, and we still expect to realize the full benefits from the internalization of our PRO structure."

Executive severance costs relate to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and are recorded within the line items "General and administrative expenses" and "Non-operating income" in our consolidated statements of operations. Integration costs relate to expenses incurred as a part of the internalization of the PRO structure.

Net income decreased $1.3 million for the second quarter of 2025 and $76.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 ("year-to-date") as compared to the same periods in 2024. The year-to-date decrease in net income was primarily due to larger gains on the sale of self storage properties recognized in the first quarter of 2024. Additionally, the decrease in net income for both the second quarter of 2025 and year-to-date were a result of lower NOI, driven by property dispositions and negative same store NOI growth. These impacts for the second quarter of 2025 and year-to-date were partially offset by an increase in management fees and other revenue of $2.7 million and $5.8 million, respectively, and a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $3.4 million and $5.9 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024.

The decrease in FFO and Core FFO per share and unit for the second quarter of 2025 and year-to-date was primarily driven by a decrease in same store NOI and an increase in interest expense. These impacts were partially offset by decreased management fees paid to former PROs, reflected within general and administrative expenses, following the internalization of the PRO structure.

Year-over-year same store total revenue decreased 3.0% for the second quarter of 2025 and 3.0% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2024. The decrease for the second quarter was driven primarily by a 240 basis point decrease in average occupancy and a 0.3% decrease in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot. The year-to-date same store total revenue decrease was driven primarily by a 210 basis point decrease in average occupancy and a 0.7% decrease in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot. Markets which generated above portfolio average same store total revenue growth include: Portland, Houston and San Juan, PR. Markets which generated below portfolio average same store total revenue growth include: Riverside-San Bernardino, Atlanta and Phoenix.

Year-over-year same store property operating expenses increased 4.6% for the second quarter of 2025 and 4.1% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increases in marketing, repairs and maintenance, and property tax expense, partially offset by decreases in personnel and insurance costs.

Investment and Disposition Activity

During the second quarter, a joint venture between a subsidiary of NSA and a state pension fund advised by Heitman Capital Management, LLC (the "2023 Joint Venture") acquired one self storage property for approximately $18.0 million. The 2023 Joint Venture financed the acquisition with capital contributions from the venture members, of which NSA contributed approximately $4.5 million.

During the second quarter, NSA invested $11.4 million in the acquisition of one wholly-owned self storage property and one annex to an existing property, consisting of approximately 87,000 rentable square feet configured in approximately 700 storage units.

During the second quarter, NSA entered into an agreement to sell ten wholly-owned self storage properties consisting of approximately 663,000 rentable square feet configured in approximately 4,400 storage units for approximately $66.5 million, before disposition costs and credits. The agreement provides for separate disposition dates with eight self storage properties, consisting of approximately 580,000 rentable square feet configured in approximately 3,800 storage units for approximately $60.0 million, sold in June 2025, and two self storage properties, consisting of approximately 83,000 rentable square feet configured in approximately 600 storage units for approximately $6.5 million, sold in July 2025. NSA used the proceeds to pay down its revolving line of credit and for general corporate purposes.

Balance Sheet

As of June 30, 2025, NSA has approximately $544.1 million of available capacity on its $950.0 million revolving line of credit.

Common Share Dividends

On May 15, 2025, NSA'sBoard of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.57 per common share. The second quarter 2025 dividend was paid on June 30, 2025 to shareholders of record as of June 13, 2025.

Amounts represent distributions declared for subordinated performance unitholders and DownREIT subordinated performance unitholders for the periods presented.

(2)

Executive severance costs relate to the three months ended June 30, 2024 and are recorded within the line items "General and administrative expenses" and "Non-operating income" in our consolidated statements of operations. Integration costs relate to expenses incurred as a part of the internalization of the PRO structure.

(3)

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. 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). All subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units were converted into OP units on July 1, 2024, in connection with the internalization of the PRO structure. See footnote(4) 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.

(4)

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 have only been convertible into OP units (i) after a lock-out period and (ii) upon certain events or conditions. All outstanding subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units were converted into OP units on July 1, 2024, in connection with the internalization of the PRO structure. 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.

(5)

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(4).
