  • Acquired one wholly-owned self storage property for approximately $10.4 million.

David Cramer, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We delivered solid results for the quarter as all but one of our reported markets showed sequential improvement from the third to fourth quarters of 2025 in same store revenue growth and our Core FFO per share result came in at the top end of our guidance range. Same store revenue growth improved from the third quarter, while the occupancy delta versus last year continued to narrow, closing another 70 basis points in the fourth quarter, further confirmation that our efforts over the last few years to position NSA for growth are starting to deliver results."

Mr. Cramer further commented, “We are encouraged that this positive operating momentum has continued into the new year, making us bullish on the prospects for NSA in 2026 and beyond.”

Non-GAAP financial measures, including FFO, Core FFO and NOI, 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.

(2)

Executive severance costs relate to the year ended December 31, 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 increased $10.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2025 and decreased $67.0 million for the year ended December 31, 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 during 2024. Additionally, the increase in net income for the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily due to an increase in earnings from our unconsolidated real estate ventures, gain on sale of self storage properties and a decrease in depreciation expense.

The decrease in FFO and Core FFO per share and unit for the fourth 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 0.7% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and 2.3% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2024. The decrease for the fourth quarter was driven primarily by a 120 basis point decrease in average occupancy. The year-to-date same store total revenue decrease was driven primarily by a 170 basis point decrease in average occupancy and a 0.2% decrease in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot. Markets which generated above portfolio average same store total revenue growth include: Portland, San Juan, PR and Wichita. 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 decreased 0.8% for the fourth quarter of 2025 and increased 3.1% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2024. The decrease for the fourth quarter of 2025 was primarily driven by decreases in personnel, utilities and insurance costs. The increase year-to-date was primarily driven by increases in marketing, property tax expense and utilities, partially offset by decreases in insurance costs.

During the fourth quarter, NSA completed the sale of three wholly-owned self storage properties, consisting of approximately 290,000 rentable square feet configured in approximately 2,000 storage units for approximately $23.8 million.

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).

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.

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

Executive severance costs relate to the year ended December 31, 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).
