National Storage Affiliates Trust Reports Third Quarter 2025 Results

National Storage Affiliates Trust ("NSA" or the "Company") (NYSE: NSA) today reported the Company’s third quarter 2025 results.

Third Quarter 2025 Highlights

  • Reported net income of $29.0 million for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of 2.5% compared to the third quarter of 2024. Reported diluted earnings per share of $0.17 for the third quarter of 2025 compared to $0.18 for the third quarter of 2024.
  • Reported core funds from operations ("Core FFO") of $76.5 million, or $0.57 per share for the third quarter of 2025, a decrease of 8.1% per share compared to the third quarter of 2024.
  • Reported a decrease in same store net operating income ("NOI") of 5.7% for the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024, driven by a 2.6% decrease in same store total revenues and a 4.9% increase in same store property operating expenses.
  • Reported same store period-end occupancy of 84.5% as of September 30, 2025, a decrease of 140 basis points compared to September 30, 2024.
  • Acquisition of two self storage properties for approximately $32.0 million by one of NSA's unconsolidated real estate ventures during the third quarter of 2025.
  • Completed the rebranding of all NSA-owned Moove In branded stores to iStorage, reducing the number of NSA operated brands to six.

Highlights Subsequent to Quarter-End

  • As previously announced, entered into an agreement to form a new joint venture (the "IRE Joint Venture") between a subsidiary of NSA (the "NSA Member") and an affiliate of Investment Real Estate Management, LLC (the "IRE Member"), with the NSA Member committing to provide 75% of the equity and the IRE Member committing to provide 25% of the equity. NSA's committed capital will be in the form of preferred equity, with a 10% preferred return per annum as well as an opportunity for additional returns, which NSA expects to realize as the joint venture exits its investments in future years. An affiliate of the IRE Member will serve as the manager of the IRE Joint Venture.

David Cramer, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "During the third quarter, the majority of our markets showed sequential improvement in same store revenue growth, which supports our view that fundamentals have found a bottom and are beginning to trend upward."

Mr. Cramer further commented, “While the current operating environment remains competitive, the backdrop for self storage going forward is the best that we have seen in a number of years. Given the potential positive impacts on the housing market from expected interest rates cuts and a more favorable supply environment, we expect to see an improvement in self storage fundamentals supported by an improving supply/demand balance in 2026 and beyond. Our focus over the past several quarters has been to best position NSA to take advantage of this expected upturn through capital recycling and improved operational efficiency. We are ready to execute in this environment and excited about the opportunities ahead.”

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

Net income decreased $0.8 million for the third quarter of 2025 and $77.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 ("year-to-date") as compared to the same periods in 2024. The year-to-date decrease in net income was primarily due to larger gains on the sale of self storage properties recognized during 2024. Additionally, the decrease in net income for both the third quarter of 2025 and year-to-date were a result of lower NOI, driven by property dispositions and negative same store NOI growth. These impacts for the third quarter of 2025 and year-to-date were partially offset by an increase in management fees and other revenue of $0.6 million and $6.4 million, respectively, and a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $1.7 million and $7.6 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2024.

The decrease in FFO and Core FFO per share and unit for the third 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 2.6% for the third quarter of 2025 and 2.9% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2024. The decrease for the third quarter was driven primarily by a 150 basis point decrease in average occupancy and a 0.4% decrease in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot. The year-to-date same store total revenue decrease was driven primarily by a 180 basis point decrease in average occupancy and a 0.6% 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 Houston. Markets which generated below portfolio average same store total revenue growth include: Riverside-San Bernardino, Atlanta and Phoenix.

Year-over-year same store property operating expenses increased 4.9% for the third quarter of 2025 and 4.4% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2024. The increase was primarily driven by increases in marketing, property tax expense and utilities, partially offset by decreases in insurance costs.

Investment and Disposition Activity

During the third quarter, a joint venture between a subsidiary of NSA and a state pension fund advised by Heitman Capital Management, LLC (the "2023 Joint Venture") acquired two self storage properties for approximately $32.0 million. The 2023 Joint Venture financed the acquisition with capital contributions from the venture members, of which NSA contributed approximately $8.0 million.

During the third quarter, NSA completed the sale of two wholly-owned self storage properties, consisting of approximately 83,000 rentable square feet configured in approximately 600 storage units for approximately $6.5 million.

Balance Sheet

As of September 30, 2025, NSA has approximately $543.6 million of available capacity on its $950.0 million revolving line of credit.

Common Share Dividends

On August 13, 2025, NSA's Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.57 per common share. The third quarter 2025 dividend was paid on September 30, 2025 to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures & Glossary

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures.

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

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

(3)

NSA combines OP units and DownREIT OP units with common shares because, after the applicable lock-out periods, OP units in the Company's operating partnership are redeemable for cash or, at NSA's option, exchangeable for common shares on a one-for-one basis and DownREIT OP units are also redeemable for cash or, at NSA's option, exchangeable for OP units in the Company's operating partnership on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments in each case. LTIP units may also, under certain circumstances, be convertible into or exchangeable for common shares (or other units that are convertible into or exchangeable for common shares). All subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units were converted into OP units on July 1, 2024, in connection with the internalization of the PRO structure. See footnote(4) for additional discussion of subordinated performance units, DownREIT subordinated performance units, and LTIP units in the calculation of FFO and Core FFO per share and unit.

(4)

Adjustment accounts for the difference between the weighted average number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share and the weighted average number of shares used to calculate FFO and Core FFO per share and unit. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method for the company's restricted common shares and the treasury stock method for certain unvested LTIP units, and assumes the conversion of vested LTIP units into OP units on a one-for-one basis and the hypothetical conversion of subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units into OP units, even though such units may have only been convertible into OP units (i) after a lock-out period and (ii) upon certain events or conditions. All outstanding subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units were converted into OP units on July 1, 2024, in connection with the internalization of the PRO structure. The computation of weighted average shares and units for FFO and Core FFO per share and unit includes all restricted common shares and LTIP units that participate in distributions and excludes all subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units because their effect has been accounted for through the allocation of FFO to the related unitholders based on distributions declared.

(5)

Represents the effect of adjusting the numerator to consolidated net income prior to GAAP allocations for noncontrolling interests, after deducting preferred share and unit distributions, and before the application of the two-class method and treasury stock method, as described in footnote(4).
