1.Description of the Business

Public Storage (referred to herein as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Maryland real estate investment trust that has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), was organized in 1980. Our principal business activities include the ownership and operation of self-storage facilities that offer storage spaces for lease, generally on a month-to-month basis, for personal and business use, ancillary activities such as tenant reinsurance, merchandise sales, and third party management, as well as the acquisition and development of additional self-storage space.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, we had direct and indirect equity interests in ~~2,877~~2,888 self-storage facilities (with approximately ~~204.9~~206.0 million net rentable square feet) located in 40 states in the United States (“U.S.”) operating under the Public Storage® name, and 1.2 million net rentable square feet of commercial and retail space.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, we owned a 35% common equity interest in Shurgard Self Storage Limited (“Shurgard”), a public company traded on the Euronext Brussels under the “SHUR” symbol, which owned 266 self-storage facilities (with approximately 15 million net rentable square feet) located in seven Western European countries, all operating under the Shurgard® name.

2.Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, the interim consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments, primarily of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary to present fairly the interim consolidated financial statements. Because they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Certain amounts previously reported in our ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 Statements of Cash Flows have been reclassified to conform to the ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 presentation, with respect to the separate presentation of changes in operating assets and liabilities in the cash flows from operating activities section and major types of capital expenditures in the cash flows from investing activities section. The reclassifications did not affect the subtotals for cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities.

Disclosures of the number and square footage of facilities, as well as the number and coverage of tenant reinsurance policies (Note 14) are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.).

Operating results for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Investment in PSB

On July 20, 2022, in connection with the closing of the merger of PS Business Parks, Inc. (“PSB”) with affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate (“Blackstone”), we completed the sale of our 41% common equity interest in PSB in its entirety. At the close of the merger transaction, we received a total of $2.7 billion of cash proceeds and recognized a gain of $2.1 billion during the third quarter of 2022.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we received cash distributions from PSB totaling $30.4 million. Since the sale of PSB in July 2022, we no longer recognize equity in earnings or receive cash distributions from PSB. ~~During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we received cash distributions from PSB totaling $15.2 million.~~

Investment in Shurgard

Throughout all periods presented, we effectively owned, directly and indirectly 31,268,459 Shurgard common shares, representing a 35% equity interest in Shurgard.

Based upon the closing price at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 (€~~44.10~~41.83 per share of Shurgard common stock, at ~~1.088~~1.089 exchange rate of U.S. Dollars to the Euro), the shares we owned had a market value of approximately ~~$1.5~~$1.4 billion.

Our equity in earnings of Shurgard comprised our equity share of Shurgard’s net income, less amortization of the Shurgard Basis Differential (defined below). During ~~each of~~ the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022, we received ~~$0.9~~$1.9 million and $1.7 million of trademark license fees that Shurgard pays to us for the use of the Shurgard® ~~trademark.~~trademark, respectively. We eliminated ~~$0.3~~$0.7 million and $0.6 million of intra-entity profits and losses for ~~each of~~ the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, representing our equity share of the trademark license fees. We classify the remaining license fees we receive from Shurgard as interest and other income on our income statement.

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we received cash dividend distributions from Shurgard totaling $19.8 million and $20.1 million, respectively. Approximately $3.2 million and $4.5 million of total cash distributions from Shurgard during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, represented distributions in excess of cumulative equity in earnings from Shurgard, which was classified within cash flows from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, our investment in Shurgard’s real estate assets exceeded our pro-rata share of the underlying amounts on Shurgard’s balance sheet by approximately ~~$63.3~~$64.7 million ($67.8 million at December 31, 2022). This differential (the “Shurgard Basis Differential”) includes our basis adjustments in Shurgard’s real estate assets net of related deferred income taxes.

U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Notes

The U.S. Dollar denominated unsecured notes (the “U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Notes”) have various financial covenants with which we were in compliance at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023. Included in these covenants are (a) a maximum Debt to Total Assets of 65% (approximately ~~14%~~13% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023) and (b) a minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Interest Expense of 1.5x (approximately ~~25x~~24x for the twelve months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023) as well as covenants limiting the amount we can encumber our properties with mortgage debt.

Euro Denominated Unsecured Notes

Our Euro denominated unsecured notes (the “Euro Notes”) consist of four tranches: (i) €242.0 million issued to institutional investors on November 3, 2015, (ii) €100.0 million issued to institutional investors on April 12, 2016, (iii) €500.0 million issued in a public offering on January 24, 2020, and (iv) €700.0 million issued in a public offering on September 9, 2021. The Euro Notes have financial covenants similar to those of the U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Notes.

We reflect changes in the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amount payable including the associated interest, as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates as “Foreign currency exchange (loss) gain” on our income statement (losses of ~~$27.1~~$1.1 million and ~~gains of $35.4~~$28.2 million for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to gains of $102.9 million and $138.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively).

Mortgage Notes

We assumed our non-recourse mortgage debt in connection with property acquisitions, and we recorded such debt at fair value with any premium or discount to the stated note balance amortized using the effective interest method.

Except as noted below, holders of the Preferred Shares do not have voting rights. In the event of a cumulative arrearage equal to six quarterly dividends, holders of all outstanding series of preferred shares (voting as a single class without regard to series) will have the right to elect two additional members to serve on our Board of Trustees (our “Board”) until the arrearage has been cured. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, there were no dividends in arrears. The affirmative vote of at least 66.67% of the outstanding shares of a series of Preferred Shares is required for any material and adverse amendment to the terms of such series. The affirmative vote of at least 66.67% of the outstanding shares of all of our Preferred Shares, voting as a single class, is required to issue shares ranking senior to our Preferred Shares.

Except under certain conditions relating to the Company’s qualification as a REIT, the Preferred Shares are not redeemable prior to the dates indicated on the table above. On or after the respective dates, each of the series of Preferred Shares is redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at $25.00 per depositary share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Holders of the Preferred Shares cannot require us to redeem such shares.

Upon issuance of our Preferred Shares, we classify the liquidation value as preferred equity on our consolidated balance sheet with any issuance costs recorded as a reduction to Paid-in capital.

Dividends

On February 4, 2023, our Board of Trustees declared a 50% increase in its regular common quarterly dividend from $2.00 to $3.00 per share. The distribution equates to an annualized increase to the Company’s regular common dividend from $8.00 to $12.00 per share.

10.Related Party Transactions

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, Tamara Hughes Gustavson, a current member of our Board, held less than a 0.1% equity interest in, and is a manager of, a limited liability company that owns 65 self-storage facilities in Canada. Two of Ms. Gustavson’s adult children owned the remaining equity interest in the limited liability company. These facilities operate under the Public Storage® tradename, which we license to the owners of these facilities for use in Canada on a royalty-free, non-exclusive basis. We have no ownership interest in these facilities and we do not own or operate any facilities in Canada. If we chose to acquire or develop our own facilities in Canada, we would have to share the use of the Public Storage® name in Canada. We have a right of first refusal, subject to limitations, to acquire the stock or assets of the corporation engaged in the operation of these facilities if their owners agree to sell them. Our subsidiaries reinsure risks relating to loss of goods stored by customers in these facilities, and have received premium payments of approximately ~~$0.5~~$1.1 million for each of the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022.

11.Share-Based Compensation

Under various share-based compensation plans and under terms established or modified by our Board or a committee thereof, we grant equity awards to trustees, officers, and key employees, including non-qualified options to purchase the Company’s common shares, restricted share units (“RSUs”), deferred share units (“DSUs”), and unrestricted common shares issued in lieu of trustee compensation.

We recorded share-based compensation expense associated with our equity awards in the various expense categories in the Consolidated Statements of Income as set forth in the following table. In addition, ~~$0.7~~$0.6 million and ~~$1.0~~$1.3 million of share-based compensation cost was capitalized as real estate facilities for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $1.1 million and $2.1 million for the same periods of 2022, respectively.

For the remaining 117,168 stock options granted during the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, vesting is dependent upon meeting certain market conditions over the three-year period from March 15, 2023 through March 14, 2026, with continued service-based vesting through the first quarter of 2028. These stock options require relative achievement of the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the weighted average total shareholder return of specified peer groups and can result in grantees earning up to 200% of the target options originally granted.

Trustee Deferral Program

Non-management trustees may elect to receive all or a portion of their cash retainers in cash, unrestricted common shares, or fully-vested DSUs to be settled at a specified future date. Unrestricted common shares and/or DSUs will be granted to the non-management trustee on the last day of each calendar quarter based on the cash retainer earned for that quarter and converted into a number of shares or units based on the applicable closing price of our common shares on such date. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, we granted ~~501~~1,018 DSUs and ~~212~~432 unrestricted common shares.

12. Net Income per Common Share

We allocate net income to (i) noncontrolling interests based upon their contractual rights in the respective subsidiaries or for participating noncontrolling interests based upon their participation in both distributed and undistributed earnings of the Company, (ii) preferred shareholders, for distributions paid or payable, (iii) preferred shareholders, to the extent redemption cost exceeds the related original net issuance proceeds (a “preferred share redemption charge”), and (iv) RSUs, for non-forfeitable dividends paid and adjusted for participation rights in undistributed earnings of the Company.

We calculate basic and diluted net income per common share based upon net income allocable to common shareholders, divided by (i) weighted average common shares for basic net income per common share, and (ii) weighted average common shares adjusted for the impact of dilutive stock options outstanding for diluted net income per common share. Potentially dilutive stock options representing ~~264,512~~321,070 common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, as compared to 142,683 common shares for the same periods in 2022, because their effect would have been antidilutive.

The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per common shares computation for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively (in thousands, except per share amounts):

14. Commitments and Contingencies

Contingent Losses

We are a party to various legal proceedings and subject to various claims and complaints; however, we believe that the likelihood of these contingencies resulting in a material loss to the Company, either individually or in the aggregate, is remote.

Insurance and Loss Exposure

We carry property, earthquake, general liability, employee medical insurance, and workers compensation coverage through internationally recognized insurance carriers, subject to deductibles. Our deductible for general liability is $2.0 million per occurrence. Our annual deductible for property loss is $25.0 million per occurrence. This deductible decreases to $5.0 million once we reach $35.0 million in aggregate losses for occurrences that exceed $5.0 million. Insurance carriers’ aggregate limits on these policies of $75.0 million for property losses and $102.0 million for general liability losses are higher than estimates of maximum probable losses that could occur from individual catastrophic events determined in recent engineering and actuarial studies; however, in case of multiple catastrophic events, these limits could be exceeded.

We reinsure a program that provides insurance to our customers from an independent third-party insurer. This program covers customer claims for losses to goods stored at our facilities as a result of specific named perils (earthquakes are not covered by this program), up to a maximum limit of $5,000 per storage unit. We reinsure all risks in this program, but purchase insurance to cover this exposure for a limit of $15.0 million for losses in excess of $5.0 million per occurrence. We are subject to licensing requirements and regulations in all states. Customers participate in the program at their option. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, there were approximately 1.3 million certificates held by our self-storage customers, representing aggregate coverage of approximately ~~$5.8~~$6.0 billion.

Commitments

We have construction commitments representing future expected payments for construction under contract totaling ~~$249.5~~$244.6 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023. We expect to pay approximately ~~$189.6~~$128.2 million in the remainder of 2023, ~~$59.4~~$114.2 million in 2024, and ~~$0.5~~$2.2 million in 2025 for these construction commitments.

We have future contractual payments on land, equipment and office space under various lease commitments totaling ~~$62.5~~$61.8 million at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023. We expect to pay approximately ~~$2.1~~$1.4 million in the remainder of 2023, $3.1 million in 2024, $3.0 million in each of 2025 and 2026, $2.1 million in 2027, and $49.2 million thereafter for these commitments.

15. Subsequent Events

In connection with the Simply Acquisition, on July 24, 2023, we completed a public offering of $400 million, $500 million, $700 million, and $600 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes bearing interest at an annual rate of Compounded SOFR + 0.60% (reset quarterly), 5.125%, 5.100%, and 5.350%, respectively, and maturing on July 25, 2025, January 15, 2029, August 1, 2033, and August 1, 2053, respectively.

Subsequent to ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, we acquired or were under contract to acquire 12eleven self-storage facilities across ~~three~~six states with ~~0.9~~0.8 million net rentable square feet, for ~~$139.0~~$118.2 million.

On August 2, 2023, the Company filed a Form 8-K to announce its intention to implement a corporate reorganization into an umbrella partnership real estate investment trust (UPREIT) structure. As part of the reorganization, New PSA, a Maryland real estate investment trust that currently is a wholly-owned subsidiary, will become the parent company of the Company and its subsidiaries. New PSA will change its name to “Public Storage”. All outstanding shares of the Company will be automatically exchanged for an equivalent number of identical shares of New PSA and such shares will continue to trade on an uninterrupted basis on the NYSE under the same ticker symbols and with the same CUSIPs. The Company will continue to be the issuer of its unsecured notes, and there will be no change to the CUSIPs of such notes. New PSA is expected to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Upon the consummation of the reorganization, which is expected to occur on August 14, 2023, the Company’s current trustees and officers will become trustees and officers of New PSA. There will be no change in the Company’s assets, liabilities or operations as a result of the reorganization. The Company’s shareholders will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of this tax free reorganization.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires us to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances to determine reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.

During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, there were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Overview

Our self-storage operations generate most of our net income, and our earnings growth is impacted by the levels of growth within our Same Store Facilities (as defined below) as well as within our Acquired Facilities and Newly Developed and Expanded Facilities (both as defined below). Accordingly, a significant portion of management’s time is devoted to maximizing cash flows from our existing self-storage facility portfolio.

During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, revenues generated by our Same Store Facilities increased by ~~9.8%~~6.3% ($~~75.5~~51.1 million) and 8.0% ($126.5 million), respectively, as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2022, while Same Store cost of operations increased by ~~5.6%~~5.2% ($~~11.0~~9.7 million). and 5.4% ($20.7 million), respectively. Demand and operating trends softened in the second half of 2022 continuing through the first ~~quarter~~half of 2023 and returned to historical seasonal patterns as compared to what we experienced in 2020 and 2021. We expect these trends to lead to moderating levels of income growth through 2023.

In addition to managing our existing facilities for organic growth, we have grown and plan to continue to grow through the acquisition and development of new facilities and expansion of our existing self-storage facilities. Since the beginning of 2021, we acquired a total of ~~311~~322 facilities with ~~27.0~~28.0 million net rentable square feet for ~~$5.9~~$6.0 billion. In our non-same store portfolio, we also have developed and expanded self-storage facilities of ~~15.6~~15.8 million net rentable square feet for a total cost of ~~$1.3~~$1.4 billion. During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, net operating income generated by our Acquired Facilities and Newly Developed and Expanded Facilities increased ~~31.7%~~24.1% ($~~25.3~~21.8 million) and 27.7% ($47.1 million), respectively, as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2022.

We have experienced recent inflationary impacts on our cost of operations including labor, utilities, and repairs and maintenance, and costs of development and expansion activities, and we may continue to experience such impacts in the future. We have implemented various initiatives to manage the adverse impacts, such as enhancements in operational processes and investments in technology to reduce payroll hours, achievement of economies of scale from recent acquisitions with supervisory payroll allocated over a broader number of self-storage facilities, and investments in solar power and LED lights to lower utility usage.

In order to enhance the competitive position of certain of our facilities relative to local competitors (including newly developed facilities), we have embarked on our multi-year Property of Tomorrow program to (i) rebrand our properties with more pronounced, attractive, and clearly identifiable color schemes and signage, (ii) enhance the energy efficiency of our properties, and (iii) upgrade the configuration and layout of the offices and other customer zones to improve the customer experience. We expect to complete the program in 2025. We spent approximately ~~$32~~$67 million on the program in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and expect to spend approximately $160 million over 2023 on this effort.

On July 24, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement with Blackstone Real Estate Income Trust, Inc. (“BREIT”) to acquire BREIT Simply Storage LLC, a self-storage company that owns and operates 127 self-storage facilities (9.4 million square feet) and manages 25 self-storage facilities (1.8 million square feet) for third parties, for a cash acquisition price of $2.2 billion (the “Simply Acquisition”). The 127 wholly-owned facilities are geographically diversified across 18 states and located in markets with population growth that has been approximately double the national average since 2018. Approximately 65% of the facilities are located in high-growth Sunbelt markets. The acquisition, which is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, is currently expected to close in the third quarter of 2023.

Results of Operations

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022

For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, net income allocable to our common shareholders was ~~$467.6~~$528.3 million or ~~$2.65~~$3.00 per diluted common share, compared to ~~$464.1~~$603.4 million or ~~$2.63~~$3.42 per diluted common share for the same period in 2022, representing ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~$3.5~~$75.1 million or ~~$0.02~~$0.42 per diluted common share. The ~~increase~~decrease is due primarily to (i) a ~~$92.0~~$102.8 million ~~increase in self-storage net operating income and (ii) a $15.3 million increase in interest and other income, partially offset by (iii) a $62.2 million increase~~decrease in foreign currency exchange ~~losses~~gains primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable and ~~(iv)~~(ii) a ~~$37.4~~$39.0 million decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities due to ~~our~~the sale of our equity investment in PSB in July ~~2022.~~2022, partially offset by (iii) a $63.1 million increase in self-storage net operating income.

The ~~$92.0~~$63.1 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is a result of a ~~$64.4~~$41.4 million increase attributable to our Same Store Facilities and a ~~$27.6~~$21.7 million increase attributable to our non-same store facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased ~~9.8%~~6.3% or ~~$75.5~~$51.1 million in the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot, partially offset by a decline in occupancy. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by ~~5.6%~~5.2% or ~~$11.0~~$9.7 million in the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to increased property tax expense and marketing expense. The increase in net operating income of $21.7 million for the non-same store facilities is due primarily to the impact of facilities acquired in 2021 and 2022 and the fill-up of recently developed and expanded facilities.

Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $995.8 million or $5.65 per diluted common share, compared to $1,067.5 million or $6.05 per diluted common share for the same period in 2022, representing a decrease of $71.7 million or $0.40 per diluted common share. The decrease is due primarily to (i) a $165.1 million decrease in foreign currency exchange gains primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable and (ii) a $76.4 million decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities due to our sale of PSB in July 2022, partially offset by (iii) a $155.2 million increase in self-storage net operating income and (iv) a $23.4 million increase in interest and other income.

The $155.2 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022 is a result of a $105.7 million increase attributable to our Same Store Facilities and a $49.5 million increase attributable to our non-same store facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 8.0% or $126.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot, partially offset by a decline in occupancy. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 5.4% or $20.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, due primarily to increased property tax expense, repairs and maintenance expenses, marketing expense, and other direct property costs. The increase in net operating income of ~~$27.6~~$49.5 million for the non-same store facilities is due primarily to the impact of facilities acquired in 2021 and 2022 and the fill-up of recently developed and expanded facilities.

Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and FFO per share are non-GAAP measures defined by Nareit. We believe that FFO and FFO per share are useful to REIT investors and analysts in measuring our performance because Nareit’s definition of FFO excludes items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating and financial performance. FFO represents net income before depreciation and amortization, which is excluded because it is based upon historical costs and assumes that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions. FFO also excludes gains or losses on sale of real estate assets and real estate impairment charges, which are also based upon historical costs and are impacted by historical depreciation. FFO and FFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. FFO is not a substitute for net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because it excludes investing and financing activities presented on our consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITs may compute these measures differently, so comparisons among REITs may not be helpful.

For the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, FFO was ~~$3.94~~$4.29 per diluted common share as compared to ~~$3.83~~$4.58 per diluted common share for the same period in 2022, representing ~~an increase~~a decrease of ~~2.9%~~6.3%, or ~~$0.11~~$0.29 per diluted common share.

For the six months ended June 30, 2023, FFO was $8.24 per diluted common share as compared to $8.41 per diluted common share for the same period in 2022, representing a decrease of 2.0%, or $0.17 per diluted common share.

We also present “Core FFO” and “Core FFO per share” non-GAAP measures that represent FFO and FFO per share excluding the impact of (i) foreign currency exchange gains and losses, (ii) charges related to the redemption of preferred securities, and (iii) certain other non-cash and/or nonrecurring income or expense items primarily representing, with respect to the periods presented below, the impact of contingency resolution, due diligence costs incurred in pursuit of strategic transactions, unrealized gain on private equity investments, and our equity share of deferred tax benefits of a change in tax status and severance of a senior executive from our equity investees. We review Core FFO and Core FFO per share to evaluate our ongoing operating performance and we believe they are used by investors and REIT analysts in a similar manner. However, Core FFO and Core FFO per share are not substitutes for net income and net income per share. Because other REITs may not compute Core FFO or Core FFO per share in the same manner as we do, may not use the same terminology or may not present such measures, Core FFO and Core FFO per share may not be comparable among REITs.

Analysis of Net Income -— Self-Storage Operations

Our self-storage operations are analyzed in four groups: (i) the ~~2,348~~2,344 facilities that we have owned and operated on a stabilized basis since January 1, 2021 (the “Same Store Facilities”), (ii) ~~311~~322 facilities we acquired since January 1, 2021 (the “Acquired Facilities”), (iii) 136 facilities that have been newly developed or expanded, or that will commence expansion by December 31, 2023 (the “Newly Developed and Expanded Facilities”), and (iv) 8286 other facilities, which are otherwise not stabilized with respect to occupancies or rental rates since January 1, 2021 (the “Other Non-same Store Facilities”). See Note 13 to our ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 consolidated financial statements “Segment Information,” for a reconciliation of the amounts in the tables below to our total net income.

(a)Net operating income or “NOI” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization expense, which is based upon historical real estate costs and assumes that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions. We utilize NOI in determining current property values, evaluating property performance, and evaluating property operating trends. We believe that investors and analysts utilize NOI in a similar manner. NOI is not a substitute for net income, operating cash flow, or other related financial measures, in evaluating our operating results. See Note 13 to our ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of NOI to our total net income for all periods presented.

Same Store Facilities

The Same Store Facilities consist of facilities we have owned and operated on a stabilized level of occupancy, revenues, and cost of operations since January 1, 2021. ~~Our Same Store Facilities increased from 2,276 facilities at December 31, 2022 to 2,348 at March 31, 2023.~~ The composition of our Same Store Facilities allows us more effectively to evaluate the ongoing performance of our self-storage portfolio in 2021, 2022, and 2023 and exclude the impact of fill-up of unstabilized facilities, which can significantly affect operating trends. We believe investors and analysts use Same Store information in a similar manner. However, because other REITs may not compute Same Store Facilities in the same manner as we do, may not use the same terminology or may not present such a measure, Same Store Facilities may not be comparable among REITs.

The following table summarizes the historical operating results (for all periods presented) of these ~~2,348~~2,344 facilities ~~(155.5~~(155.2 million net rentable square feet) that represent approximately ~~76%~~75% of the aggregate net rentable square feet of our U.S. consolidated self-storage portfolio at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023. It includes various measures and detail that we do not include in the analysis of the developed, acquired, and other non-same store facilities, due to the relative magnitude and importance of the Same Store Facilities relative to our other self-storage facilities.

(a)Revenues and cost of operations do not include tenant reinsurance and merchandise sale revenues and expenses generated at the facilities. See “Ancillary Operations” below for more information.

(b)Direct net operating income (“Direct NOI”), a subtotal within NOI, is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of supervisory payroll, centralized management costs, and share-based compensation in addition to depreciation and amortization expense. We utilize direct net operating income in evaluating property performance and in evaluating property operating trends as compared to our competitors.

(c)Realized annual rent per occupied square foot is computed by dividing rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the weighted average occupied square feet for the period. Realized annual rent per available square foot (“REVPAF”) is computed by dividing rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the total available net rentable square feet for the period. These measures exclude late charges and administrative fees in order to provide a better measure of our ongoing level of revenue. Late charges are dependent upon the level of delinquency, and administrative fees are dependent upon the level of move-ins. In addition, the rates charged for late charges and administrative fees can vary independently from rental rates. These measures take into consideration promotional discounts, which reduce rental income.

(d)Annual contract rent represents the agreed upon monthly rate that is paid by our tenants in place at the time of measurement. Contract rates are initially set in the lease agreement upon move-in, and we adjust them from time to time with notice. Contract rent excludes other fees that are charged on a per-item basis, such as late charges and administrative fees, does not reflect the impact of promotional discounts, and does not reflect the impact of rents that are written off as uncollectible.

Analysis of Same Store Revenue

We believe a balanced occupancy and rate strategy maximizes our revenues over time. We regularly adjust rental rates and promotional discounts offered (generally, “$1.00 rent for the first month”), as well as our marketing efforts to maximize revenue from new tenants to replace tenants that vacate.

We typically increase rental rates to our long-term tenants (generally, those who have been with us for at least a year) every six to twelve months. As a result, the number of long-term tenants we have in our facilities is an important factor in our revenue growth. The level of rate increases to long-term tenants is based upon evaluating the additional revenue from the increase against the negative impact of incremental move-outs, by considering customers’ in-place rent and prevailing market rents, among other factors.

Revenues generated by our Same Store Facilities increased ~~9.8%~~6.3% and 8.0% in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in ~~2022,~~2022. The increase is due primarily to (i) ~~a 12.4%~~an 8.3% and 10.3% increase in realized annual rent per occupied square foot for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022, partially offset by (ii) a ~~2.4%~~2.1% and 2.2% decrease in average ~~occupancy.~~occupancy for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022.

The increase in realized annual rent per occupied square foot in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2022 was due to rate increases to existing long-term tenants, partially offset by a ~~7.5%~~14.4% and 11.1% decrease in average rates per square foot charged to new tenants moving in who replaced tenants moving out with higher rental rates during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2022. The growth rate in realized annual rent per occupied square foot has decelerated since the second half of 2022 as a result of increases in moving-out activity that drove us to lower move-in rates and increase promotion discounts to replace tenants that vacate. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, annual contract rent per occupied square foot was ~~10.8%~~7.1% higher as compared to ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022.

We experienced high occupancy levels throughout the three months ended March 31, 2023 with a weighted average square foot occupancy of 93.2%, representing a decrease of 2.4% as compared to the same period in 2022. Occupancy levels, although strong, have gradually declined since the second half of 2022 as move-out activity increased and customer demand softened. The weighted average square foot occupancy for our same store facilities was 93.7% and 93.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, representing a decrease of 2.1% and 2.2% as compared to the same periods in 2022. We lowered move-in rental rates and increased promotional activity and advertising spending to increase move-in activity at our facilities, which led to a ~~year-over year 12.5%~~year-over-year 13.6% and 13.1% increase in move-in volumes that more than offset the ~~year-over year 11.5%~~year-over-year 9.6% and 10.5% increase in move-out volumes for the three and six months ended ~~March 31, 2023. Although the move-in~~June 30, 2023, respectively. Move-in volumes net of move-out volumes were higher in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022, ~~at March 31, 2023,~~which reduced the ~~average square foot occupancy was 92.8% as compared to 95.0% at March 31, 2022, due primarily to lower~~year-over-year decline in occupancy levels atbetween December 31, 2022 ~~of 92.3% as compared to December 31, 2021 of 94.7%.~~and June 30, 2023.

Move-out volumes were partially impacted by rental rate increases to our existing tenants in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2022. However, move-out activity from tenants not receiving increases was also higher in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2022, returning to pre-2020 levels. Average length of stay of our tenants ~~slightly increased~~remained at similar high levels in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2022, which supported our revenue growth by contributing to the number of tenants eligible for rental rate increases.

Demand historically has been higher in the summer months than in the winter months and, as a result, rental rates charged to new tenants have typically been higher in the summer months than in the winter months. More typical seasonal patterns of demand with lower demand in the winter months returned in 2022. Demand fluctuates due to various local and regional factors, including the overall economy. Demand for our facilities is also impacted by new supply of self-storage space and alternatives to self-storage.

We expect weaker industry-wide demand in the remainder of 2023 as compared to 2022 driven by a weaker macroeconomic outlook and more limited moving activities, with move-out activities and occupancy levels returning to pre-2020 levels. To mitigate the negative impact of macroeconomic challenges, we will continue to support demand levels tofor our self-storage facilities with increased marketing expense, lowering rental rates to new customers, and increased promotional discounting. As a result, we expect revenue growth to decline significantly inthrough the ~~remainder~~course of 2023 as compared to high levels of growth in 2022 and 2021. With a wide range of potential macroeconomic pathways for the remainder of 2023, the range of potential revenue growth rates is wide including the potential for year-over-year declines in revenue in the second half of 2023.

Late Charges and Administrative Fees

Late charges and administrative fees increased ~~14.5% in~~14.7% and 14.6% for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2022, due to (i) higher late charges collected on delinquent accounts driven by more delinquent accounts and to a lesser extent (ii) higher administrative fees resulting from higher move-in volumes. Delinquency levels at our same store properties remain below pre-2020 levels.

Analysis of Same Store Cost of Operations

Cost of operations (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased ~~5.6%~~5.2% and 5.4% in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022. The increase during the three-month period ~~in 2022~~is due primarily to increased property tax expense and marketing expense, while the increase during the six-month period is due primarily to increased property tax expense, repairs and maintenance expense, marketing expense, and other direct property costs.

Property tax expense increased ~~5.0%~~3.6% and 4.3% in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2022, as a result of higher assessed values. We expect property tax expense to grow ~~5.2%~~5.3% in 2023 due primarily to higher assessed values.

On-site property manager payroll expense increased ~~2.5%~~3.1% and 2.8% in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2022, due primarily to increases in wage rates as a result of competitive labor conditions experienced in most geographical markets. We expect an inflationary increase in on-site property manager payroll expense in 2023 driven by increased wage rates, partially offset by expected reduction in labor hours driven by revisions in operational processes.

Repairs and maintenance expense increased ~~13.2%~~7.2% and 10.4% in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2022. Repairs and maintenance expense levels are dependent upon many factors such as (i) damage and equipment malfunctions, (ii) short-term local supply and demand factors for material and labor, and (iii) weather conditions, which can impact costs such as snow removal, roof repairs, and HVAC maintenance and repairs. ~~We expect a moderate year-over-year increase in repairs and maintenance expense in the remainder of 2023.~~

Marketing expense includes Internet advertising and the operating costs of our telephone reservation center. Internet advertising expense, comprising keyword search fees assessed on a “per click” basis, varies based upon demand for self-storage space, the quantity of people inquiring about self-storage through online search, occupancy levels, the number and aggressiveness of bidding competitors, and other factors. These factors are volatile; accordingly, Internet advertising can increase or decrease significantly in the short-term. We increased marketing expense by ~~32.7%~~59.2% and 44.3% in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, ~~as compared to the same period in 2022,~~respectively, by utilizing a higher volume of online paid search programs to attract new ~~tenants.~~tenants, as compared to the same periods in 2022 when we refrained from advertising due to strong demand and high occupancy levels in many of our same store properties.

Other direct property costs include administrative expenses specific to each self-storage facility, such as property loss, telephone and data communication lines, business license costs, bank charges related to processing the facilities’ cash receipts, tenant mailings, credit card fees, eviction costs, and the cost of operating each property’s rental office. These costs increased ~~12.0%~~5.6% and 8.8% in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2022. These increases were due primarily to an increase in credit card fees as a result of year-over-year increases in revenues, and to a lesser extent, a long-term trend of more customers paying with credit cards rather than cash, checks, or other methods of payment with lower transaction costs. We expect a moderate increase in other direct property costs in the remainder of 2023 primarily driven by an increase in credit card fees.

(a)Represents the percentage change with respect to square foot occupancy and annual contract rent per occupied square foot, and the absolute nominal change with respect to all other items.

(b)Revenues and cost of operations do not include tenant reinsurance and merchandise sale revenues and expenses generated at the facilities. See “Ancillary Operations” below for more information.

(c)The Acquired Facilities have an aggregate of approximately ~~27.0~~28.0 million net rentable square feet, including 10.9 million in Texas, 3.9 million in Maryland, 1.6 million in Florida, 1.2 million in each of South Carolina and Virginia, ~~1.0~~1.1 million in Oklahoma, ~~0.9~~1.0 million in North Carolina, 0.7 million in Idaho, 0.6 million in each of Arizona ~~Colorado,~~ and ~~South Carolina,~~Colorado, 0.5 million in Nebraska, 0.4 million in each of Georgia, Indiana, and Oregon, 0.3 million in each of California, Minnesota, Nevada, Ohio, Tennessee, and Washington, and ~~1.5~~1.7 million in other states.

(d)We have completed the expansion projects on facilities acquired in 2021 for ~~$26.7~~$26.8 million, adding 179,000 net rentable square feet of storage space as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023.

We have been active in acquiring facilities in recent years. Since the beginning of 2021, we acquired a total of ~~311~~322 facilities with ~~27.0~~28.0 million net rentable square feet for ~~$5.9~~$6.0 billion. During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, these facilities contributed net operating income of ~~$62.3~~$66.7 million and $129.1 million, respectively, consistent with our original underwritten expectations.

During 2021, we acquired the ezStorage portfolio, consisting of 48 properties (4.1 million net rentable square feet) for acquisition cost of $1.8 billion. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, we have completed the expansion projects on four properties of this portfolio for ~~$26.3~~$26.4 million, adding 169,000 net rentable square feet of storage space. Included in the Acquisition results in the table above are ezStorage portfolio revenues of ~~$25.6~~$51.7 million, NOI of ~~$20.0~~$40.4 million (including Direct NOI of ~~$20.5~~$41.7 million), and average square footage occupancy of 85.7% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023.

During 2021, we acquired the All Storage portfolio, consisting of 56 properties (7.5 million net rentable square feet) for $1.5 billion. Included in the Acquisition results in the table above are All Storage portfolio revenues of ~~$21.4~~$43.1 million, NOI of ~~$13.3~~$27.4 million (including Direct NOI of ~~$14.2~~$28.9 million), and average square footage occupancy of ~~78.5%~~78.6% for the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023.

We remain active in seeking to acquire additional self-storage facilities. Subsequent to ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, we acquired or were under contract to acquire 12eleven self-storage facilities across ~~three~~six states with ~~0.9~~0.8 million net rentable square feet, for ~~$139.0~~$118.2 million. In addition, as part of the Simply Acquisition announced on July 24, 2023, we will add 127 wholly-owned self-storage facilities (9.4 million net rentable square fees) to our portfolio. Future acquisition volume is likely to be impacted by increasing cost of capital requirements and overall macro-economic uncertainties.

(a)Represents the percentage change with respect to square foot occupancy and annual contract rent per occupied square foot, and the absolute nominal change with respect to all other items.

(b)Revenues and cost of operations do not include tenant reinsurance and merchandise sales generated at the facilities. See “Ancillary Operations” below for more information.

(c)The facilities included above have an aggregate of approximately ~~15.6~~15.8 million net rentable square feet at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, including 3.7 million in Texas, ~~3.0~~3.1 million in Florida, ~~2.1~~2.3 million in California, 1.4 million in each of Colorado and Minnesota, 0.8 million in North Carolina, 0.7 million in Michigan, 0.4 million in Missouri, 0.3 million in each of New Jersey, South Carolina, Virginia, and Washington, and ~~0.9~~0.8 million in other states.

(d)These amounts only include the direct cost incurred to expand and renovate these facilities, and do not include (i) the original cost to develop or acquire the facility or (ii) the lost revenue on space demolished during the construction and fill-up period.

It typically takes at least three to four years for a newly developed or expanded self-storage facility to stabilize with respect to revenues. Physical occupancy can be achieved as early as two to three years following completion of the development or expansion through offering lower rental rates during fill-up. As a result, even after achieving high occupancy, there can still be a period of elevated revenue growth as the tenant base matures and higher rental rates are achieved.

We believe that our development and redevelopment activities generate favorable risk-adjusted returns over the long run. However, in the short run, our earnings are diluted during the construction and stabilization period due to the cost of capital to fund the development cost, as well as the related construction and development overhead expenses included in general and administrative expense.

We typically underwrite new developments to stabilize at approximately an 8.0% NOI yield on cost. Our developed facilities have thus far leased up as expected and are at various stages of their revenue stabilization periods. The actual annualized yields that we may achieve on these facilities upon stabilization will depend on many factors, including local and current market conditions in the vicinity of each property and the level of new and existing supply.

The facilities under “expansions completed” represent those facilities where the expansions have been completed at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023. We incurred a total of ~~$625.6~~$644.1 million in direct cost to expand these facilities, demolished a total of 1.1 million net rentable square feet of storage space, and built a total of ~~6.1~~6.2 million net rentable square feet of new storage space.

At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, we had 25 additional facilities in development, which will have a total of ~~2.4~~2.5 million net rentable square feet of storage space and have an aggregate development cost totaling approximately ~~$537.8~~$554.0 million. We expect these facilities to open over the next 18 to 24 months.

The facilities under “expansion in process” represent those facilities where construction is in process at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, and together with additional future expansion activities primarily related to our Same Store Facilities at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, we expect to add a total of ~~2.4~~2.3 million net rentable square feet of storage space by expanding existing self-storage facilities for an aggregate direct development cost of ~~$488.2~~$473.0 million.

Other Non-Same Store Facilities

The “Other Non-Same Store Facilities” represent facilities which, while not newly acquired, developed, or expanded, are not fully stabilized since January 1, 2021, including facilities undergoing fill-up as well as facilities damaged in casualty events such as hurricanes, floods, and fires.

The Other Non-Same Store Facilities have an aggregate of ~~6.8~~7.1 million net rentable square feet, including 1.2 million in Texas, 0.5 million in Pennsylvania, 0.4 million in each of California, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Washington, 0.3 million in each of Arizona, Florida, and South Carolina, 0.2 million in each of Alabama, Colorado, Georgia, ~~Minnesota,~~ Missouri, and Virginia, and ~~1.0~~1.1 million in other states.

During the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022, the average occupancy for these facilities totaled ~~86.2%~~88.4% and ~~89.1%~~87.4%, respectively, as compared to 91.5% and 90.4% for the same periods in 2022, and the realized rent per occupied square foot totaled ~~$17.83~~$18.17 and ~~$15.24, respectively.~~$18.11, respectively, as compared to $16.25 and $15.87 for the same periods in 2022.

Depreciation and amortization expense

Depreciation and amortization expense for Self-Storage Operations ~~decreased $0.5~~increased $3.4 million and $2.9 million in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2022, due to ~~a decline in amortization~~elevated levels of ~~intangible assets related to our 2021~~capital expenditures and ~~2022 acquisitions.~~new facilities that are recently developed.

Ancillary Operations

Ancillary revenues and expenses include amounts associated with the reinsurance of policies against losses to goods stored by tenants in our self-storage facilities, sale of merchandise at our self-storage facilities, and management of property owned by unrelated third parties. The following table sets forth our ancillary operations:

Tenant reinsurance operations: Tenant reinsurance premium revenue increased ~~$4.1~~$3.7 million or ~~9.1% in~~7.9% for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, ~~over~~and increased $7.8 million or 8.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2023, in each case as compared to the same period in 2022, as a result of an increase in our tenant base with respect to acquired, newly developed, and expanded facilities and the third party properties we manage. Tenant reinsurance premium revenue generated from tenants at our Same-Store Facilities were ~~$37.1~~$37.5 million and ~~$35.8~~$74.5 million infor the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $36.1 million and $71.8 million for the same periods in 2022, ~~respectively,~~ representing ~~a 3.6% increase.~~an increase of 3.9% and 3.8%, respectively.

We expect future growth will come primarily from customers of newly acquired and developed facilities, as well as additional tenants at our existing unstabilized self-storage facilities.

Cost of operations primarily includes claims paid as well as claims adjustment expenses. Claims expenses vary based upon the number of insured tenants and the volume of events that drive covered customer losses, such as burglary, as well as catastrophic weather events affecting multiple properties such as hurricanes and floods. Tenant reinsurance cost of operations increased $3.7 million and $6.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022, primarily due to increased claim expenses related to fire and flooding events.

Merchandise sales: Sales of locks, boxes, and packing supplies at our self-storage facilities are primarily impacted by the level of move-ins and other customer traffic at our self-storage facilities. We do not expect any significant changes in revenues or profitability from our merchandise sales in the remainder of 2023.

Third-party property management: At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, in our third-party property management program, we managed ~~116~~132 facilities for unrelated third parties, and were under contract to manage 7783 additional facilities including 7179 facilities that are currently under construction. During the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, we added ~~seven~~30 facilities to the program and had ~~six~~seven properties exit the program due to sales to other buyers. As part of the Simply Acquisition announced on July 24, 2023, we will integrate an additional 25 facilities into our third-party management platform. While we expect this business to increase in scope and size, we do not expect any significant changes in overall profitability of this business in the near term as we seek new properties to manage and are in the earlier stages of fill-up for newly managed properties.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities

We account for the equity investments in PSB (prior to the sale of our investment in PSB) and Shurgard using the equity method and record our pro-rata share of the net income of these entities. The following table, and the discussion below, sets forth our equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities:

Investment in PSB: On July 20, 2022, in connection with the closing of the merger of PSB with Blackstone, we completed the sale of our 41% common equity interest in PSB in its entirety. At the close of the merger transaction, we received a total of $2.7 billion of cash proceeds and recognized a gain of $2.1 billion during the third quarter of 2022.

Included in our equity earnings from PSB for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is our equity share of gains on sale of real estate totaling $25.5 million and $49.1 million, respectively. Our equity share of earnings from PSB contributed $26.6 million and $52.1 million, respectively, to Core FFO in the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. Since the sale of PSB in July 2022, we no longer recognize equity in earnings from PSB. Included in our equity earnings from PSB for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is our equity share of gains on sale of real estate totaling $23.6 million. Our equity share of earnings from PSB contributed $25.5 million to Core FFO in the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Investment in Shurgard: For purposes of recording our equity in earnings from Shurgard, the Euro was translated at exchange rates of approximately ~~1.088~~1.089 U.S. Dollars per Euro at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 (1.070 at December 31, 2022), and average exchange rates of ~~1.073~~1.088 and ~~1.122~~1.065 for the three months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and average exchange rates of 1.081 and 1.093 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Included in our equity earnings from Shurgard for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 is our equity share of gains on sale of real estate totaling $3.5 million (none for the same periods in 2023). Included in our equity in earnings from Shurgard were ~~$8.5~~$9.2 million and ~~$8.3~~$17.7 million of our share of depreciation and amortization expense for the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to $8.0 million and ~~2022, respectively.~~$15.0 million for the same periods in 2022.

Share-based compensation expense includes the amortization of restricted share units and stock options granted to certain corporate employees and trustees.

Share-based compensation expense for management personnel who directly and indirectly supervise the on-site property managers, as well as those employees responsible for providing shared general corporate functions to the extent their efforts are devoted to self-storage operations, are included as self-storage cost of operations. Share-based compensation expense varies based upon the level of grants and their related vesting and amortization periods, forfeitures, as well as the Company’s common share price on the date of each grant.

Share-based compensation expense classified as general and administrative expense decreased $3.8 million and $7.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2022 due primarily to the absence of comparable accelerated compensation expense recognized for awards granted to corporate management personnel who are eligible for immediate vesting of their outstanding awards upon retirement.

Interest expense: For the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, ~~and 2022,~~ we incurred ~~$37.8~~$40.1 million and ~~$34.3~~$77.9 million, respectively, of interest on our outstanding notes ~~payable.~~payable, as compared to $34.3 million and $68.6 million for the same periods in 2022. In determining interest expense, these amounts were offset by capitalized interest of ~~$1.7~~$2.0 million and ~~$1.2~~$3.8 million during the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, ~~and 2022,~~ respectively, associated with our development ~~activities.~~activities, as compared to $1.4 million and $2.6 million for the same periods in 2022. The increase of interest expense in the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 as compared to the same ~~period~~periods in 2022 is due to the increase of Compounded ~~Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”)~~SOFR on our $700.0 million variable rate unsecured notes, partially offset by the interest savings on the $500.0 million unsecured notes redeemed in August 2022. At ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, we had $6.9 billion of notes payable outstanding, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately ~~2.2%~~2.3%.

Foreign Currency Exchange (Loss) Gain: For the three and six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, ~~and 2022,~~ we recorded foreign currency losses of ~~$26.9~~$1.1 million and ~~gains of $35.4~~$28.0 million, respectively, representing primarily the changes in the U.S. Dollar equivalent of our Euro-denominated unsecured notes due to fluctuations in exchange rates. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, we recorded foreign currency gains of $101.7 million and $137.1 million, respectively. The Euro was translated at exchange rates of approximately ~~1.088~~1.089 U.S. Dollars per Euro at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, 1.070 at December 31, 2022, ~~1.111~~1.045 at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2022 and 1.134 at December 31, 2021. Future gains and losses on foreign currency will be dependent upon changes in the relative value of the Euro to the U.S. Dollar and the level of Euro-denominated notes payable outstanding.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview and our Sources of Capital

While operating as a REIT allows us to minimize the payment of U.S. federal corporate income tax expense, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. Notwithstanding this requirement, our annual operating retained cash flow increased from $200 million to $300 million per year in recent years to approximately $700 million in 2021 and $1 billion in 2022. Retained operating cash flow represents our expected cash flow provided by operating activities (including property operating costs and interest payments described below), less shareholder distributions and capital expenditures. We expect retained cash flow of approximately $400 million for 2023.

Capital needs in excess of retained cash flow are met with: (i) medium and long-term debt, (ii) preferred equity, and (iii) common equity. We select among these sources of capital based upon relative cost, availability, the desire for leverage, and considering potential constraints caused by certain features of capital sources, such as debt covenants. We view our line of credit, as well as any short-term bank loans, as bridge financing.

Because raising capital is important to our growth, we endeavor to maintain a strong financial profile characterized by strong credit metrics, including low leverage relative to our total capitalization and operating cash flows. We are one of the highest rated REITs, as rated by major rating agencies Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. Our senior notes payable have an “A” credit rating by Standard & Poor’s and “A2” by Moody’s. Our credit ratings on each of our series of preferred shares are “A3” by Moody’s and “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s. Our credit profile enables us to effectively access both the public and private capital markets to raise capital.

~~We have a $500.0 million~~On June 12, 2023, we amended our revolving line of credit, ~~that we are able~~increasing the borrowing limit from $500 million to ~~use~~$1.5 billion. We increased the size of the revolving line of credit and its associated lender base given our increased levels of debt maturities in coming years and to serve as temporary “bridge” financing until we are able to raise longer term capital. As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and ~~May 3,~~August 2, 2023, there were no borrowings outstanding on the revolving line of credit; however, we do have approximately ~~$19.4~~$16.7 million of outstanding letters of credit, which limits our borrowing capacity to ~~$480.6~~$1,483.3 million as of ~~May 3,~~August 2, 2023. Our line of credit matures on ~~April 19, 2024.~~June 12, 2027.

We believe that we have significant financial flexibility to adapt to changing conditions and opportunities, and we have significant access to sources of capital including debt and preferred equity. While the costs of financing have increased recently, based on our strong credit profile and our substantial current liquidity relative to our capital requirements noted below, we would not expect any potential capital market dislocations to have a material impact upon our expected capital and growth plans over the next 12 months. However, if capital market conditions deteriorated significantly for a long period of time, our access to or cost of debt and preferred equity capital could be negatively impacted and potentially affect future investment activities.

Our current and expected capital resources include: (i) ~~$695.4~~$651.7 million of cash as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, ~~and~~ (ii) approximately ~~$400.0~~$400 million of expected retained operating cash flow over the next twelve ~~months.~~months, and (iii) $2.2 billion of proceeds from the U.S. Dollar denominated unsecured senior notes issued on July 24, 2023 in connection with the Simply Acquisition. We believe that our cash provided by our operating activities will continue to be sufficient to enable us to meet our ongoing cash requirements for interest payments on debt, maintenance capital expenditures, and distributions to our shareholders for the foreseeable future.

As described below, our current committed cash requirements consist of (i) ~~$139.0~~$2.2 billion of acquisition price of the Simply Acquisition announced on July 24, 2023, (ii) $118.2 million in property acquisitions currently under contract, ~~(ii) $648.6~~(iii) $577.0 million of remaining spending on our current development pipeline, which will be incurred primarily in the next 18 to 24 months, and ~~(iii) $8.2~~(iv) $809 million in scheduled principal repayments on our unsecured and mortgage notes in the next twelve ~~months. We have no principal payments on~~months, including $700 million of our U.S. Dollar denominated unsecured notes ~~until~~that mature on April 23, 2024 and €100 million of our Euro denominated unsecured notes that mature on April 12, 2024. We plan to refinance these unsecured notes as they come due in April 2024. Our cash requirements may increase over the next year as we add projects to our development pipeline and acquire additional properties. Additional potential cash requirements could result from various activities including the redemption of outstanding preferred securities, repurchases of common stock, or merger and acquisition activities, as and to the extent we determine to engage in such activities.

Over the long term, to the extent that our cash requirements exceed our capital resources, we believe we have a variety of possibilities to raise additional capital including issuing common or preferred securities, issuing debt, or entering into joint venture arrangements to acquire or develop facilities.

Cash Requirements

The following summarizes our expected material cash requirements, which comprise (i) contractually obligated expenditures, including payments of principal and interest, (ii) other essential expenditures, including property operating expenses, maintenance capital expenditures and dividends paid in accordance with REIT distribution requirements, and (iii) opportunistic expenditures, including acquisitions and developments and repurchases of our securities. We expect to satisfy these cash requirements through operating cash flow and opportunistic debt and equity financings.

Required Debt Repayments: As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, the principal outstanding on our debt totaled approximately $6.9 billion, consisting of ~~$10.0 million~~$5.3 billion of ~~secured~~U.S. Dollar denominated unsecured notes payable, $1.7 billion of Euro-denominated unsecured notes payable, and ~~$5.3 billion~~$1.9 million of ~~U.S. Dollar denominated unsecured~~mortgage notes payable. Approximate principal maturities and interest payments (including ~~$44.5~~$38.6 million in estimated ~~interests~~interest on our $700 million variable rate unsecured notes) are as follows (amounts in thousands):

We have $700 million of our U.S. Dollar denominated unsecured notes that mature on April 23, 2024 and €100 million of our Euro denominated unsecured notes that mature on April 12, 2024. We plan to refinance these unsecured notes as they come due in April 2024.

Capital Expenditure Requirements: Capital expenditures include general maintenance, major repairs, or replacements to elements of our facilities to keep our facilities in good operating condition and maintain their visual appeal. Capital expenditures do not include costs relating to the development of new facilities or redevelopment of existing facilities to increase their available rentable square footage.

~~Capital~~We spent $105 million of capital expenditures ~~totaled $93.7 million~~to maintain real estate facilities in the first ~~three~~six months of 2023 and ~~are expected~~expect to ~~approximate $450~~spend approximately $173 million in 2023. In addition to standard capital repairs of building elements reaching the end of their useful lives, our capital expenditures in recent years have included incremental expenditures to enhance the competitive position of certain of our facilities relative to local competitors pursuant to a multi-year program. Such investments include development of more pronounced, attractive, and clearly identifiable color schemes and signage and upgrades to the configuration and layout of the offices and other customer zones to improve the customer experience. We spent approximately ~~$32~~$67 million in the first ~~three~~six months of 2023 and expect to spend $160 million in 2023 on this effort. In addition, we have ~~made investments~~spent $26 million in LED lighting and the installation of solar panels ~~which approximated $9 million for~~in the ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 and we expect to spend ~~$132~~$117 million in 2023.

We believe that these incremental investments improve customer satisfaction, the attractiveness and competitiveness of our facilities to new and existing customers and, in the case of LED lighting and solar panels, reduce operating costs.

Requirement to Pay Distributions: For all periods presented herein, we have elected to be treated as a REIT, as defined in the Code. For each taxable year in which we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our “REIT taxable income” (generally, taxable income subject to specified adjustments, including a deduction for dividends paid and excluding our net capital gain) that is distributed to our shareholders. We believe we have met these requirements in all periods presented herein, and we expect to continue to qualify as a REIT.

On ~~May~~August 2, 2023, our Board declared a regular common quarterly dividend of $3.00 per common share totaling approximately $526 million, which will be paid at the end of ~~June~~September 2023. This represented a 50% increase in the $2.00 per common share quarterly dividend paid during 2022. Our consistent, long-term dividend policy has been to distribute our taxable income. Future quarterly distributions with respect to the common shares will continue to be determined based upon our REIT distribution requirements after taking into consideration distributions to the preferred shareholders and will be funded with cash flows from operating activities.

The annual distribution requirement with respect to our preferred shares outstanding at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 is approximately $194.7 million per year.

Real Estate Investment Activities: We continue to seek to acquire additional self-storage facilities from third parties. Subsequent to ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, we acquired or were under contract to acquire 12eleven self-storage facilities for a total purchase price of ~~$139.0~~$118.2 million. In addition, on July 24, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire BREIT Simply Storage LLC, a self-storage company that owns and operates 127 self-storage facilities (9.4 million square feet) and manages 25 self-storage facilities (1.8 million square feet) for third parties, for a cash acquisition price of $2.2 billion.

We are actively seeking to acquire additional facilities. However, future acquisition volume will depend upon whether additional owners will be motivated to market their facilities, which will in turn depend upon factors such as economic conditions and the level of seller confidence.

As of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, we had development and expansion projects at a total cost of approximately $1.0 billion. Costs incurred through ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 were ~~$377.3~~$449.9 million, with the remaining cost to complete of ~~$648.6~~$577.0 million expected to be incurred primarily in the next 18 to 24 months. Some of these projects are subject to contingencies such as entitlement approval. We expect to continue to seek to add projects to maintain and increase our robust pipeline. Our ability to do so continues to be challenged by various constraints such as difficulty in finding projects that meet our risk-adjusted yield expectations and challenges in obtaining building permits for self-storage facilities in certain municipalities.

Property Operating Expenses: The direct and indirect cost of our operations impose significant cash requirements. Direct operating costs include property taxes, on-site property manager payroll, repairs and maintenance, utilities, and marketing. Indirect operating costs include supervisory payroll and centralized management costs. The cash requirements from these operating costs will vary year to year based on, among other things, changes in the size of our portfolio and changes in property tax rates and assessed values, wage rates, and marketing costs in our markets.

Redemption of Preferred Securities: Historically, we have taken advantage of refinancing higher coupon preferred securities with lower coupon preferred securities. In the future, we may also elect to finance the redemption of preferred securities with proceeds from the issuance of debt. As of ~~May 3,~~August 2, 2023, we have two series of preferred securities that are eligible for redemption, at our option and with 30 days’ notice: our 5.150% Series F Preferred Shares ($280.0 million) and our 5.050% Series G Preferred Shares ($300.0 million). See Note 9 to our ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 consolidated financial statements for the redemption dates of all of our series of preferred shares. Redemption of such preferred shares will depend upon many factors, including the rate at which we could issue replacement preferred securities. None of our preferred securities are redeemable at the option of the holders.

Repurchases of Common Shares: Our Board has authorized management to repurchase up to 35,000,000 of our common shares on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During ~~three~~six months ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, we did not repurchase any of our common shares. From the inception of the repurchase program through ~~May 3,~~August 2, 2023, we have repurchased a total of 23,721,916 common shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $679.1 million. Future levels of common share repurchases will be dependent upon our available capital, investment alternatives and the trading price of our common shares.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

To limit our exposure to market risk, we are capitalized primarily with preferred and common equity. Our preferred shares are redeemable at our option generally five years after issuance, but the holder has no redemption option. Our debt, which totals approximately $6.9 billion at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, is the only market-risk sensitive portion of our capital structure.

The fair value of our debt at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 is approximately $6.0 billion. The table below summarizes the annual maturities of our debt, which had a weighted average effective rate of ~~2.2%~~2.3% at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023. See Note 7 to our ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our debt (amounts in thousands).

Debt $ 8,141 $ 808,903 $ 263,390 $ 1,150,138 $ 500,140 $ 4,206,633 $ 6,937,345

We have foreign currency exposure at ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 related to (i) our investment in Shurgard, with a book value of ~~$285.7~~$276.8 million, and a fair value of ~~$1.5~~$1.4 billion based upon the closing price of Shurgard’s stock on ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023, and (ii) €1.5 billion ($1.7 billion) of Euro-denominated unsecured notes payable, providing a natural hedge against the fair value of our investment in Shurgard.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in accordance with SEC guidelines and that such information is communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures in reaching that level of reasonable assurance. We also have investments in certain unconsolidated real estate entities and because we do not control these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable assurance level.

Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Our Board has authorized management to repurchase up to 35,000,000 of our common shares on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. From the inception of the repurchase program through ~~May 3,~~August 2, 2023, we have repurchased a total of 23,721,916 common shares (all purchased prior to 2010) at an aggregate cost of approximately $679.1 million. Our common share repurchase program does not have an expiration date and there are 11,278,084 common shares that may yet be repurchased under our repurchase program as of ~~March 31,~~June 30, 2023. We have no current plans to repurchase shares; however, future levels of common share repurchases will be dependent upon our available capital, investment alternatives, and the trading price of our common shares.
