  • Repurchased 8,836,639 of the Company's common shares for approximately $310.2 million under the previously announced share repurchase program.

Highlights Subsequent to Quarter-End

  • Entered into a new joint venture (the "2024 Joint Venture") agreement between a subsidiary of NSA (the "2024 JV NSA Member") and a subsidiary of Heitman Capital Management LLC (the "2024 JV Investor" and together with the 2024 JV NSA Member, the "2024 JV Members"), with NSA as a 25% owner and the 2024 JV Investor as a 75% owner. NSA contributed 56 wholly-owned properties, which were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023, for approximately $346.5 million, to the 2024 Joint Venture. A subsidiary of NSA will serve as the manager of the 2024 Joint Venture. As a result of assets sold or held for sale at year-end, our 2023 same store pool has been reset to 724 stores.

  • Repaid in full the outstanding borrowings under the revolving line of credit and $130.0 million of Term Loan Tranche B. After giving effect to these repayments, on a pro forma basis as of December 31, 2023, our remaining debt had a weighted average effective interest rate of 4.03% and a weighted average maturity of 5.34 years.

David Cramer, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased with our results this quarter, as we balanced rate and occupancy to drive revenues, while remaining focused on cost efficiencies across our platform. Looking back at the full year, I’m very proud of our team’s focus on People, Process and Platform initiatives, which we believe will enhance our results going forward.”

Mr. Cramer further commented, “We’ve made significant progress on our strategic initiatives during the fourth quarter and thus far in 2024, including the sale of approximately $540 million of properties, the formation of two new joint ventures, the repurchase of approximately $120 million of common shares, and fully repaying our line of credit as of February 23, 2024. These key steps improve our portfolio quality and concentration, while putting us in an attractive position to take advantage of external growth opportunities as they arise.”

Casualty-related recoveries in 2023 relate to casualty-related expenses incurred during 2022.

Net income increased $57.7 million for the fourth quarter of 2023 and increased by $53.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 ("year-to-date") as compared to the same periods in 2022. The increases resulted primarily from a gain on the sale of 32 self storage properties during the fourth quarter of 2023 and additional NOI generated from the 20 wholly-owned self storage properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2023, partially offset by increases in interest expense.

The decreases in FFO and Core FFO for the fourth quarter of 2023 and year-to-date were primarily the result of increases in interest expense of 31.2% and 50.2%, respectively, partially offset by an increase in NOI of 0.3% and 5.6%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2022.

Year-over-year same store total revenues remained relatively consistent for the fourth quarter of 2023 and increased 2.4% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2022. The fourth quarter same store total revenue result was driven primarily by a 3.6% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot offset by a 380 basis point decrease in average occupancy. The year-to-date increase was driven primarily by a 6.1% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot, partially offset by a 400 basis point decrease in average occupancy. Markets which generated above portfolio average same store total revenue growth include: Riverside-San Bernardino, Atlanta, and Oklahoma City. Markets which generated below portfolio average same store total revenue growth include: Phoenix, New Orleans and Las Vegas.

Year-over-year same store property operating expenses increased 4.8% for the fourth quarter of 2023 and 4.7% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2022. The increases primarily resulted from increases in marketing, insurance, and property tax expense offset by a decrease in personnel costs.

Disposition and Investment Activity

During the fourth quarter, NSA invested $25.0 million in the acquisition of two wholly-owned self storage properties consisting of approximately 113,000 rentable square feet configured in approximately 900 storage units. Total consideration for these acquisitions included approximately $17.0 million of net cash, $4.0 million of subordinated performance units, $3.8 million of 6.000% Series A-1 cumulative redeemable preferred units and $0.2 million of LTIP units.

During the fourth quarter, NSA entered into an agreement to sell 71 wholly-owned self storage properties consisting of approximately 4.4 million rentable square feet configured in approximately 34,000 storage units for approximately $540.0 million, before disposition costs and credits (the "Portfolio Sale"). The agreement provides for separate disposition dates with 32 self storage properties, consisting of approximately 2.0 million rentable square feet configured in approximately 16,000 storage units for approximately $263.2 million, sold in December 2023, and 39 self storage properties, consisting of approximately 2.4 million rentable square feet configured in approximately 18,000 storage units for approximately $266.8 million, to be sold in 2024, of which 38 were sold in February.

During the fourth quarter, NSA entered into an agreement to form the 2024 Joint Venture with the 2024 JV Investor. On February 13, 2024, NSA contributed to the 2024 Joint Venture 56 self storage properties located across seven states, consisting of approximately 3.2 million rentable square feet configured in over 24,000 storage units for approximately $346.5 million. The 2024 Joint Venture was capitalized with approximately $140.8 million in equity (approximately $35.2 million from NSA in exchange for a 25% ownership interest and approximately $105.6 million from the 2024 JV Investor in exchange for a 75% ownership interest) and proceeds from a $210.0 million interest-only secured debt financing with an interest rate of 6.05% per annum and a term of five years. All of the properties in the 2024 Joint Venture will continue to be operated by NSA's management platform.

The Portfolio Sale and 2024 Joint Venture contribution generated aggregate net proceeds to NSA of approximately $835 million, which NSA used to fully pay down its revolving line of credit and $130.0 million of Term Loan Tranche B and for general corporate purposes.

Balance Sheet

During the fourth quarter, NSA repurchased 852,771 of its common shares for approximately $27.4 million under the previously announced share repurchase program. For the full year 2023, the Company repurchased 8,836,639 shares for approximately $310.2 million. On December 1, 2023, NSA approved a new share repurchase program authorizing, but not obligating, the repurchase of up to $275.0 million of its common shares of beneficial interest from time to time. NSA expects to acquire the common shares through open market or privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amount of repurchase transactions, if any, will be determined by NSA's management based on its evaluation of market conditions, share price, legal requirements and other factors.

Common Share Dividends

On November 8, 2023, NSA's Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.56 per common share, representing a 1.8% increase from the fourth quarter 2022. The fourth quarter 2023 dividend was paid on December 29, 2023 to shareholders of record as of December 15, 2023.

For full year 2023, NSA's Board of Trustees declared cash dividends of $2.23 per common share, representing a 3.7% increase from 2022.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures & Glossary

This press release contains certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP measures are presented because NSA's management believes these measures help investors understand NSA's business, performance and ability to earn and distribute cash to its shareholders by providing perspectives not immediately apparent from net income (loss).

The presentations of FFO, Core FFO and NOI in this press release are not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. In addition, NSA's method of calculating these measures may be different from methods used by other companies, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to similar measures as calculated by other companies that do not use the same methodology as NSA. These measures, and other words and phrases used herein, are defined in the Glossary in the supplemental financial information and, where appropriate, reconciliations of these measures and other non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are included in the Schedules to this press release and in the supplemental financial information.

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

(2)

Casualty-related recoveries relate to casualty-related expenses incurred during 2022 and are recorded in the line item "Other" within operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations.

(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. Subordinated performance units, DownREIT subordinated performance units and LTIP units may also, under certain circumstances, be convertible into or exchangeable for common shares (or other units that are convertible into or exchangeable for common shares). See footnote(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 only be convertible into OP units (i) after a lock-out period and (ii) upon certain events or conditions. For additional information about the conversion of subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units into OP units, see Note 10 to the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The computation of weighted average shares and units for FFO and Core FFO per share and unit includes all restricted common shares and LTIP units that participate in distributions and excludes all subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units because their effect has been accounted for through the allocation of FFO to the related unitholders based on distributions declared.

(5)

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