EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

The financial statements covered in this report for the six month period ended June 30, 2004 contain the results of operations and financial condition of Extra Space Storage LLC (“the Predecessor”) and its subsidiaries, the predecessor to Extra Space Storage Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries, prior to the consummation of the Company’s initial public offering on August 17, 2004.

 

STATEMENT ON FORWARD LOOKING INFORMATION

 

When used in this discussion and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the words “believes,” “anticipates,” “projects,” “should,” “estimates,” “expects” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and in Section 21F of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors, which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, changes in general economic conditions and in the markets in which the Company operates:

 

    the effect of competition from new self-storage facilities or other storage alternatives, which would cause rents and occupancy to decline;

 

    the Company’s ability to effectively compete in the industry in which it does business;

 

    difficulties in the Company’s ability to evaluate, finance and integrate acquired and developed properties into the Company’s existing operations and to fill up those properties, which could adversely affect the Company’s profitability;

 

    the impact of the regulatory environment as well as national, state, and local laws and regulations including, without limitation, those governing Real Estate Investment Trusts, which could increase the Company’s costs and reduce the Company’s cash available for distribution;

 

    difficulties in raising capital at reasonable rates, which could impede the Company’s ability to grow; and

 

    delays in development and construction processes, which could adversely affect the Company’s profitability; and economic uncertainty due to the impact of war or terrorism which could adversely affect its business plan.

 

The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly release the results of any revisions to these forward-looking statements reflecting new estimates, events or circumstances after the date of this report.

1. ORGANIZATION

 

The Company, a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), was formed on April 30, 2004 to own, operate, acquire and develop self-storage facilities located throughout the United States and continues the business of the Predecessor. The Company’s interest in its properties is held through its operating partnership Extra Space Storage LP (the “Operating Partnership”), and its primary assets are general partner and limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership.

 

The Company invests in self-storage facilities by acquiring or developing wholly owned facilities or by acquiring an equity interest in real estate entities. At June 30, 2005, the Company had direct and indirect equity interest in 148 storage facilities located in 20 states and operating under the “Extra Space Storage” name.

 

The Company operates in two distinct segments: 1) Property Management and Development and 2) Rental Operations. The Company’s Property Management and Development activities include acquiring, managing, developing and selling self-storage facilities. The Rental Operations segment includes rental operations of self-storage facilities.

 

On August 17, 2004, the Company completed its initial public offering (the “Offering”) of 20,200,000 shares of common stock. On September 1, 2004, the underwriters exercised their over allotment option and purchased 3,030,000 shares of common stock. The Company succeeded to the business conducted by Extra Space Storage LLC (the “Predecessor”).

 

In connection with the Offering, the existing holders of Class A, Class B, Class C and Class E units in the Predecessor exchanged these units for an aggregate of 7,939,950 shares of common stock, 1,608,437 Operating Partnership (“OP”) units, 3,888,843 contingent conversion shares (“CCSs”), 200,046 contingent conversion units (“CCUs”) and $18,885 in cash. As a result of this exchange, the Predecessor became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership and, as of June 30, 2005, is a 93.19% subsidiary of the Company.

 

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Extra Space Storage Inc. (the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation, have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2005. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2004, has been derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. For further information refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

3. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

 

As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No.123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation,” as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 123,” the Company has elected to measure and record compensation cost relative to employee stock option costs in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion (“APB”) No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related interpretations and make pro forma disclosures of net loss and basic loss per share as if the fair value method of valuing stock options had been applied. Under ABP No. 25, compensation cost is recognized for stock options granted to employees when the option price is less than the market price of the underlying common stock on the date of grant. For purposes of the pro forma disclosures, we apply SFAS No. 123, as amended by SFAS No. 148, which requires the Company to estimate the fair value of the employee stock options at the grant date using an option-pricing model. The following table represents the effect on net loss and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value based method and recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123, as amended:

The fair value of options granted under the Company’s stock plan was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions used: dividend yield of 7.1%, expected volatility of 21.2%, risk free interest rate of 3.4%, and expected life of 5 years. The weighted-average fair value of options at the date of grant was $1.07.

4. NET LOSS PER SHARE

 

Basic loss per share is computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding (prior to the dilutive impact of stock options outstanding). Diluted earnings per common share are computed using the weighted average common shares outstanding. No options or OP units were included in the computation of diluted net loss per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, because the effect would have been antidilutive. Options to purchase 1,827,000 shares of common stock were outstanding at June 30, 2005.

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2004, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding included Class A units, on a pro forma basis, as if the Class A units had been converted to common stock using the initial public offering conversion ratio of one Class A unit to 0.08 shares of common stock.

 

The basic and diluted loss per share does not include the potential effects of the CCSs and CCUs as such securities would not have participated in earnings for any of the periods presented. These securities will not participate in distributions until they are converted. Such conversion cannot occur prior to March 31, 2006.

7. INVESTMENTS IN REAL ESTATE VENTURES

 

At June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, the Company held minority investments in Extra Space West One LLC (“ESW”), which owns self-storage facilities in California, and Extra Space Northern Properties Six, LLC (“ESNPS”), which owns properties in California, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey and New York.

 

During the second quarter 2004, the Predecessor held a minority investment in Extra Space East One LLC (“ESE”), which owns self-storage facilities in Massachusetts, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The Predecessor acquired its joint venture partner’s interest in ESE on May 4, 2004. Subsequent to the acquisition of its partner’s joint venture interest in ESE, the Company has consolidated these properties.

 

In addition to the investments in ESE, ESW and ESNPS, the Company also holds 10-50% investments in other entities, which own and develop self-storage facilities. In these joint ventures, the Company and the joint venture partner generally receive a preferred return on their invested capital. To the extent that cash/profits in excess of these preferred returns are generated through operations or capital transactions, the Company would receive a higher percentage of the excess cash/profits than its equity interest.

 

To the extent that properties were sold/transferred into these ventures where such transactions did not qualify for sales treatment, those properties are reflected as being owned by the Predecessor in the consolidated financial statements with the joint venture partners’ interests in

these properties reflected as minority interests and putable preferred interests in consolidated joint ventures. There were no such transactions as of June 30, 2005 or December 31, 2004.

Amounts in thousands, except shares and per share data


 

The Credit Facility has an interest rate of 175 basis points over LIBOR (5.09% at June 30, 2005 and 4.15% at December 31, 2004). The Operating Partnership intends to use the proceeds of the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2005, the Credit Facility has approximately $69.0 million of capacity based on the assets collateralizing the Credit Facility. The outstanding principal balance on the line of credit at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004 was $0 and $39.0 million, respectively and is due September 2007. The Credit Facility is collateralized by mortgages on real estate assets.

 

10. NOTES PAYABLE

 

The components of notes payable are summarized as follows:

 

     June 30, 2005

   December 31, 2004

Mortgage and construction loans with banks bearing interest at fixed rates between 4.30% and 7.50%. The loans are collateralized by mortgages on real estate assets and the assignment of rents. Principal and interest payments are made monthly with all outstanding principal and interest due between September 1, 2005 and October 1, 2013.    $ 389,384    $ 340,669
Mortgage and construction loans with banks bearing interest rates based on LIBOR and Prime. Interest rates based on LIBOR are between LIBOR plus 1.75% (5.09% and 4.15% at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively) and LIBOR plus 2.85% (6.19% and 5.40% at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively). Interest rates based on Prime are between Prime (6.25% and 5.25% at June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004, respectively) and Prime plus 1.0%. The loans are collateralized by mortgages on real estate assets and the assignment of rents. Principal and interest payments are made monthly with all outstanding principal and interest due between July 1, 2005 and August 24, 2009.      91,359      93,308
    

  

     $ 480,743    $ 433,977
    

  

 

Substantially all of the Company’s and the Predecessor’s real estate assets are pledged as collateral for the notes payable. In addition, the Company is subject to certain restrictive covenants relating the outstanding notes payable, which the Company was in compliance at June 30, 2005.

 

The Company has entered into a reverse interest rate swap agreement (“Swap Agreement”) in order to float $61.8 million of 4.30% fixed interest rate secured notes due in June 2009. Under this Swap Agreement, the Company will receive interest at a fixed rate of 4.30% and pay interest at a variable rate equal to LIBOR plus 0.655%. The Swap Agreement matures at the same time the notes are due. This Swap Agreement qualifies as a fair value hedge, as defined by SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended and interpreted, and the fair value of the Swap Agreement is recorded as an asset or liability, with an

 

12

offsetting adjustment to the carrying value of the related note payable. Monthly interest payments are recognized as an increase or decrease in interest expense.

 

The estimated fair value of the Swap Agreement at June 30, 2005 is a liability of $800. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, interest expense has been reduced by $148 and $312, respectively as a result of the Swap Agreement.

 

11. NOTES PAYABLE TO TRUSTS

 

During April 2005, ESS Statutory Trust I (the “Trust”), a newly formed Delaware statutory trust and a wholly owned, unconsolidated subsidiary of the Operating Partnership of the Company issued an aggregate of $35.0 million of Trust Preferred Securities which mature on June 30, 2035. In addition, the Trust issued 1,083 of Trust common securities to the Operating Partnership for a purchase price of $1.1 million. On April 8, 2005, the proceeds from the sale of the trust preferred and common securities or $36.1 million were loaned in the form of note to the Operating Partnership (the “Note”). The Note has a fixed rate of 6.53% through June 30, 2010 and then will be payable at a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.25% per annum. The interest on the Note, payable quarterly, will be used by the Trust to pay dividends on the Trust Preferred Securities. The Trust Preferred Securities may be redeemed by the Trust with no prepayment premium after June 30, 2010.

 

During May 2005, ESS Statutory Trust II (the “Trust II”), a newly formed Delaware statutory trust and a wholly-owned, unconsolidated subsidiary of Extra Space LP, the operating partnership of the Company, issued an aggregate of $41.0 million of fixed/floating rate preferred securities. In addition, the Trust II issued 1,269 of Trust common securities to the Operating Partnership for a purchase price of $1.3 million. The preferred securities mature June 30, 2035 and are redeemable by the Trust II with no prepayment premium after June 30, 2010. On May 24, 2005 the proceeds from the sale of the preferred and common securities or $42.3 million were loaned in the form of a note to the Operating Partnership (the “Note 2”). Note 2 has a fixed rate of 6.67% through June 30, 2010, and then will be payable at a variable rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus 2.40% per annum. The interest on Note 2 , payable quarterly, will be used by the Trust II to pay dividends on the Trust Preferred Securities.

 

Under FASB Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46”) Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities and Revised Amendment to FIN 46 (“FIN 46R”), the Trust and Trust II are not consolidated. A debt obligation has been recorded in the form of notes as discussed above for the proceeds, which are owed to the Trust and Trust II by the Company.

13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

 

On January 1, 2004, the Predecessor distributed its equity ownership in Extra Space Development (“ESD”), a subsidiary consolidated at that time, to its Class A members. ESD owned 13 early-stage development properties, two parcels of undeveloped land and a note receivable. The net book value of the distributed properties and related liabilities was approximately $15.0 million. The Predecessor retained a receivable of $6.2 million from ESD and recorded a net distribution of $9.0 million. In September 2004, ESD repaid the amounts due to the Company using funds obtained through new loans on unencumbered properties. The Predecessor was required to continue to consolidate certain of the properties due to financial guarantees. Concurrent with the initial public offering, the Company was released from all guarantees, and the properties were deconsolidated as of August 16, 2004. ESD paid the Company $57 and $17 and $109 and $17 for the three and six months ending June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, relating to management fees.

 

The Company has determined that it holds a variable interest in properties in which ESD owns or has an ownership interest. The Company does not have an equity investment or interest, and in which it is not the primary beneficiary. This variable interest is a result of management and development contracts that are held by the Company. The variable interest is limited to the management and development fees and no additional loss can be attributed to the Company. The Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary in these agreements. Accordingly, such properties have not been consolidated subsequent to August 16, 2004.

 

On January 1, 2004, the Predecessor distributed the $4.5 million (including accrued interest of $438) note receivable from Centershift to the Class A unit holders. Effective January 1, 2004, the Company entered into a license agreement with Centershift which secures a perpetual right for continued use of STORE (the site management software used at all sites operated by the Company) in all aspects of the Company’s property acquisition, development, redevelopment and operational activities. The Company paid Centershift $82 and $57 and $192 and $137 for the three and six months ending June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, relating to the purchase of software and to license agreements.

 

14. MINORITY INTEREST IN OPERATING PARTNERSHIP

 

The Company’s interest in its properties is held through the Operating Partnership. ESS Holding Business Trust I, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Company is also a limited partner of the Operating Partnership,

 

14


Table of Contents

Amounts in thousands, except shares and per share data


 

and controls the operations of the Operating Partnership, holding a 93.19% majority ownership interest therein as of June 30, 2005. The remaining ownership interests in the Operating Partnership of 6.81% are held by certain former owners of assets acquired by the Operating Partnership subsequent to its formation. The Company and Operating Partnership were formed to continue to operate and expand the business of the Predecessor.

 

The minority interest in the Operating Partnership represents OP units that are not owned by the Company. In conjunction with the formation of the Company, certain persons and entities contributing interests in properties to the Operating Partnership received limited partnership units. Limited partners who received OP units in the formation transactions have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem part or all of their OP units for cash based upon the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of common stock at the time of the redemption. Alternatively, the Company may elect to acquire those OP units in exchange for shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to anti-dilution adjustments provided in the Operating Partnership agreement. As of June 30, 2005, the Operating Partnership had 2,730,050 OP units outstanding and 200,046 shares of CCUs were issued and outstanding.

 

Unlike the OP units, CCUs do not carry any voting rights. Upon the achievement of certain performance thresholds relating to 14 early-stage lease-up properties, all or a portion of the CCUs will be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. Initially, each CCU will be convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2006, and ending with the quarter ending December 31, 2008, the Company will calculate the net operating income from the 14 wholly owned early-stage lease-up properties over the 12-month period ending in such quarter. Within 35 days following the end of each quarter referred to above, some or all of the CCUs will be converted so that the total percentage (not to exceed 100%) of CCUs issued in connection with the formation transactions that have been converted to common stock will be equal to the percentage determined by dividing the net operating income for such period in excess of $5.1 million by $4.6 million. If any CCU remains unconverted through the calculation made in respect of the 12-month period ending December 31, 2008, such outstanding CCUs will be cancelled and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

 

While any CCUs remain outstanding, a majority of the Company’s independent directors must review and approve the net operating income calculation for each measurement period and also must approve any sales of any of the 14 wholly owned early-stage lease-up properties.

 

15. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

 

On June 20, 2005 the Company completed a private placement of 6.2 million shares of its common stock at an offering price of $13.47 per share, for aggregate gross proceeds of $83.5 million. Transaction costs were $2.2 million, resulting in net proceeds of $81.3 million. The shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Pursuant to the terms of the registration rights agreement, the Company will file a registration statement covering the shares no later than 90 days after the closing date. The Company will use commercial reasonable efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective as soon as possible thereafter, but in any event within 90 days thereafter. If the registration statement is not declared effective within this time

period, the Company has agreed to pay liquidated damages as described in the Registration Rights Agreement.

 

The Company’s charter provides that it can issue up to 200,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, 4,100,000 CCSs, $.01 par value per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share. As of June 30, 2005, 37,369,950 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding, 3,888,843 shares of CCSs were issued and outstanding and no shares of preferred stock were issued and outstanding.

 

Unlike the Company’s shares of common stock, CCSs do not carry any voting rights. Upon the achievement of certain performance thresholds relating to 14 early-stage lease-up properties, all or a portion of the CCSs will be automatically converted into shares of the Company’s common stock. Initially, each CCS will be convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments. Beginning with the quarter ending March 31, 2006, and ending with the quarter ending December 31, 2008, the Company will calculate the net operating income from the 14 wholly owned early-stage lease-up properties over the 12-month period ending in such quarter. Within 35 days following the end of each quarter referred to above, some or all of the CCSs will be converted so that the total percentage (not to exceed 100%) of CCS issued in connection with the formation transactions that have been converted to common stock will be equal to the percentage determined by dividing the net operating income for such period in excess of $5.1 million by $4.6 million. If any CCS remains unconverted through the calculation made in respect of the 12-month period ending December 31, 2008, such outstanding CCSs will be cancelled and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.

 

While any CCSs remain outstanding, a majority of the Company’s independent directors must review and approve the net operating income calculation for each measurement period and also must approve any sales of any of the 14 wholly owned early-stage lease-up properties.

17. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

The Company has guaranteed a construction loan for an unconsolidated partnership that owns a development property in Baltimore, Maryland. The property is owned by a joint venture in which the Company has a 10% equity interest. This guarantee was entered into in November 2004. At June 30, 2005, the total amount of mortgage debt relating to this joint venture was $3.1 million. This mortgage loan matures December 1, 2007. If the joint venture defaults on the loan, the Company may be forced to repay the loan. Repossessing and/or selling the self-storage facility and land that collateralizes the loan could reimburse the Company. The estimated fair market value of the encumbered assets at June 30, 2005 is $4.5 million. The Company has recorded no liability in relation to this guarantee as of June 30, 2005 and December 31, 2004. The

fair value of the guarantee is not material. To date the joint venture has not defaulted on its mortgage debt. The Company believes the risk of having to perform on the guarantee is remote.

 

The Company has been involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. As of June 30, 2005, the Company is not presently involved in any material litigation nor, to its knowledge, are any material litigation threatened against it, or its properties.

 

18. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

On July 14, 2005, the Company, through its subsidiary Extra Space Storage LLC (“ESS LLC”) and the Operating Partnership, closed the acquisition (the “Transaction”) of various entities that collectively comprise the Storage USA self-storage business pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”), dated May 5, 2005, between ESS LLC, the Operating Partnership, Security Capital Self Storage Incorporated, a Delaware corporation, PRISA Self Storage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, PRISA II Self Storage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, PRISA III Self Storage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, VRS Self Storage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, WCOT Self Storage LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and the Prudential Insurance Company of America, a New Jersey corporation (together with its affiliates, “Prudential”).

 

In connection with the transaction, the Company acquired 61 wholly-owned self storage properties, acquired SUSA Partnership, L.P.’s equity interest in 54 joint venture properties and assumed the management of 84 franchises and managed properties. In addition, 259 of the self-storage properties acquired in the Transaction were contributed to five separate limited liability companies that are owned by five subsidiaries of the Company (each, a “Company Sub”) and Prudential. As part of this contribution, the Company Subs and Prudential entered into limited liability company agreements which govern the rights and responsibilities of each such limited liability company.

 

On July 14, 2005, a subsidiary of the Company entered into a $100 million bridge loan (the “Bridge Loan”) with a financial institution, maturing on November 11, 2005. The Bridge Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 150 basis points or at the base rate specified therein and is guaranteed by the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company. The Bridge Loan provides for various customary events of default which could result in an acceleration of all amounts payable there under. The terms of the Bridge Loan require that it be repaid with the proceeds of equity offerings by the Company.

 

On July 27, 2005, ESS Statutory Trust III (the “Trust III”), a newly formed Delaware statutory trust and a wholly-owned, unconsolidated subsidiary of Extra Space LP, the operating partnership of the Company, issued an aggregate of $40.0 million of fixed/floating rate preferred securities. In addition, the Trust III issued 1,238 of Trust common securities to the Operating Partnership for a purchase price of $1.2 million. The preferred securities mature June 30, 2035 and are redeemable by the Trust III with no prepayment premium after June 30, 2010.

19. ACCOUNTING AND DISCLOSURE CHANGES

 

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS No. 123R, “Share–Based Payment”. SFAS No. 123R is a revision of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation”, and supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees.” Among other items, SFAS No. 123R eliminates the use of ABP Opinion No. 25 and the intrinsic value method of accounting, and requires companies to recognize the cost of employee services received in exchange for awards of equity instruments, based on the grant date fair value of those awards, in the financial statements. The effective date of SFAS No. 123R is the first reporting period beginning after June 15, 2005, which is third quarter 2005 for calendar year companies, although early adoption is allowed. However, on April 14, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) announced that the effective date of SFAS No. 123R will be suspended until January 1, 2006, for calendar year companies.

 

SFAS No. 123 permits companies to adopt its requirements using either a “modified prospective” method, or a “modified retrospective” method. Under the “modified prospective” method, compensation cost is recognized in the financial statements beginning with the effective date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all share-based payments granted after that date, based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123 for all unvested awards granted prior to the effective date of SFAS No. 123R. Under the “modified retrospective” method, the requirements are the same as under the “modified prospective” method, but also permits entities to restate financial statements of previous periods based on pro forma disclosures made in accordance with SFAS No. 123.

 

The Company currently utilizes a standard option pricing model (Black-Scholes) to measure the fair value of stock options granted to Employees. While SFAS No. 123R permits entities to continue to use such a model, the standard also permits the use of a “lattice” model. The Company has not yet determined which model it will use to measure the fair value of employee stock options under the adoption of SFAS No. 123R.

 

The Company currently expects to adopt SFAS No. 123R effective January 1, 2006, based on the new effective date announced by the SEC. However, the Company has not determined which of the aforementioned adoption methods it will use. In addition, the Company has not determined the financial statement impact of adopting SFAS No. 123R for periods beyond 2005.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our “Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” and the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” contained in this report and the “Consolidated Financial Statements,” “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. The Company makes statements in this section that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. For a complete discussion of forward-looking statements, see the section in this Form 10-Q entitled “Statement on Forward Looking Information.”

 

OVERVIEW

 

The Company is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust formed to continue the business commenced in 1977 by its predecessor companies to own, operate, acquire, develop and redevelop professionally managed self-storage properties. To maximize revenue-generating opportunities for the properties, the Company employs a state-of-the-art, proprietary, web-based tracking and yield management technology called STORE. Developed by the Company’s management team, STORE enables the Company to analyze, set and adjust rental rates in real time across its portfolio in order to respond to changing market conditions.

 

The Company derives substantially all of its revenues from rents received from tenants under existing leases on each of its self-storage properties. The Company operates in competitive markets, where consumers have multiple self-storage properties from which to choose. Competition has and will continue to impact the Company’s results. The Company experiences minor seasonal fluctuations in occupancy levels, with occupancy levels higher in the summer months due to increased activity. The Company’s operating results, therefore, depend materially on its ability to lease available self-storage space and on the ability of its tenants to make required rental payments. The Company believes it is able to respond quickly and effectively to changes in local, regional and national economic conditions by adjusting rental rates through the use of STORE, the operating management software employed at the properties.

 

The Company continues to evaluate a range of new growth initiatives and opportunities in order to enable it to maximize stockholder value. These include:

 

    Maximize the performance of properties through strategic, efficient and timely management. The Company plans to pursue revenue generating opportunities on all fronts including active, real-time revenue management, targeted marketing programs and operational efficiencies gained through technology improvements and increased scale. Supported by STORE, it seeks to respond to changing market conditions and to maximize revenue-generating opportunities through interactive rental rate and discount management.

 

   

Focus on the acquisition of self-storage properties from third parties. The Company has benefited greatly from the acquisition of existing properties. In the first six months of 2005, the Company acquired an additional eight properties located in the Company’s

existing core markets. In May 2005, the Company and joint venture partner Prudential Real Estate Investors (“PREI”), the real estate investment and advisory business of Prudential Financial, Inc., entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Storage USA from GE Commercial Finance, the business-to business financial services unit of the General Electric Corp. (NYSE: GE) for $2.3 billion in cash. Subsequent to quarter end, on July 14, 2005, the Company completed the acquisition. The transaction is the largest to date in the self-storage industry, and makes Extra Space Storage the second largest operator of self-storage properties in the U.S.

 

    The acquisitions team will continue to aggressively pursue the acquisition of single properties and portfolios that it believes can provide short and long-term stockholder value. The Company’s acquisition of Storage USA has further bolstered its reputation as a reliable, ethical buyer, and enhances its ability to negotiate and close non-brokered, private deals. Also, the Company’s status as an UPREIT enables flexibility when structuring deals.

 

    Develop new self-storage properties through joint-venture relationships. Eighteen of the Company’s properties are currently held in joint ventures.

 

PROPERTIES

 

As of June 30, 2005, the Company owned and operated 148 properties located in 20 states. Of the 148 properties, 130 are wholly owned and 18 are held in joint ventures with third parties. The properties are operated under the service-marked Extra Space Storage brand name. As of June 30, 2005 the Company had 9.8 million square feet of space configured in approximately 92,500 separate storage units. The properties are generally situated in convenient, highly visible locations clustered around large population centers such as Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, New York/Northern New Jersey and San Francisco. These markets contain above-average population and income demographics and high barriers to entry for new self-storage properties. The clustering of assets around these population centers enables the Company to reduce its operating costs through economies of scale. The Company considers a property to be in the lease-up stage after it has been issued a certificate of occupancy, but before it has achieved stabilization. A property is considered to be stabilized once it has achieved an 85% occupancy rate, or has been open for four years.

The Company’s property portfolio is a made up of different types of construction and building configuration depending on the site and the municipality where it is located. Most often sites are what we consider “hybrid” facilities, or a mix of both drive-up buildings and multi-floor buildings. The Company has several multi-floor buildings with elevator access only, and a number of facilities featuring ground-floor access only.

 

The Company’s properties are generally situated in convenient, highly visible locations clustered around large population bases; however, due to certain factors, the Company has a handful of locations outside the top MSA’s (Metropolitan Statistical Areas) that were developed or acquired based on the market, familiarity with the properties, or as part of a larger portfolio.

 

In addition to the 148 properties in which the Company has an ownership interest, the Company also manages 26 properties for third parties as of June 30, 2005. The Company receives a management fee equal to 5% – 6% of gross revenues to manage these sites.

where the Company sold its joint venture interest in 2004. The properties were consolidated as a result of guarantees and/or puts for which the Company was liable.

Three months ended June 30, 2005 compared to June 30, 2004

 

Revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 increased $10,688 or 77%, primarily due to an increase in property rental revenues of $10,805, or 83%, which include merchandise sales, insurance administrative fees and late fees. The increase in property rental revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2005 consists of $2,289 from the buyout of the certain joint venture interests (previously accounted for using the equity method of accounting), $7,685 from new acquisitions and $778 from increases in occupancy at lease-up properties.

 

Six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to June 30, 2004

 

Revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased $22,680 or 91%, primarily due to a $23,030, or 100% increase in property rental revenues. The increase in property rental revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2005 consists of $6,045 from the buyout of the certain joint venture interests (previously accounted for using the equity method of accounting), $15,196 from new acquisitions, and $1,559 from increases in occupancy at lease-up properties.

 

Management fees represent 6.0% of cash collected from properties owned by third parties and unconsolidated joint ventures. The decrease in management fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 was due to the Company purchasing its joint venture partner’s interest Extra Space East One LLC and nine properties in Extra Space West One, LLC subsequent to June 30, 2004.

Interest Expense

 

Interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased $913 and $1,041, or 11% and 7%, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to $1,772 paid for the defeasance of two CMBS loans and $675 of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with refinance borrowings as expense in interest in 2004 relating to participating mortgages on properties that were held in joint ventures or in properties that were consolidated due to certain guarantees. This amount was offset by increase interest related to additional debt incurred by the Company since June 30, 2004 and higher interest rates.

 

Minority Interest-Fidelity Preferred Return

 

Minority interest-Fidelity preferred return for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased $1,124 and $2,220, respectively or 100% due to the redemption of the Fidelity minority interest on September 9, 2004.

 

Minority Interest Operating Partnership

 

Loss allocated to the Operating Partnership represents 7.96% of the net loss subsequent to the Company’s initial public offering.

 

Loss Allocated to Other Minority Interests

 

Loss allocated to other minority interests for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased $560 and $1,530, respectively or 100% primarily due to the Company buying out or to the deconsolidation of all minority partnership interest during 2004.

 

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

 

Funds from operations (“FFO”) provides relevant and meaningful information about the Company’s operating performance that is necessary, along with net loss and cash flows, for an understanding of the Company’s operating results. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) as net income (loss) computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses on sales of properties, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments to record unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. The Company believes that to further understand its performance, FFO should be considered along with the reported net loss and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the consolidated financial statements.

The computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of the Company’s performance, as an alternative to net cash flow from operating activates as a measure of its liquidity, or as an indicator of the Company’s ability to make cash distributions. The following table sets for the calculation of FFO:

SAME-STORE STABILIZED PROPERTY RESULTS

 

The Company considers same-store stabilized portfolio to consist of only those properties owned by the Company at the beginning and at the end of the applicable periods presented and that had achieved stabilization as of the first day of such period. The following table sets forth operating data for the same-store portfolio for the Company and the Predecessor’s same-store portfolio. The Company considers the following same-store presentation to be meaningful in regards to the 38 properties shown below. These results provide information relating to property-level operating changes without the effects of acquisitions or completed developments. As the Company continues forward as a public company, it will have a greater population of same-store properties to which to make a comparison. Consequently, the results shown below should not be used as a basis for future same-store performance.

Same-Store Operating Revenues

 

Total revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 for the Company’s same-store stabilized property portfolio increased $192 and $404 or 2.9% and 3.1% primarily due to increased rental rates and the Company’s ability to maintain occupancy while controlling discounts.

 

Same-Store Operating Expenses

 

Total operating expenses for the Company’s same-store stabilized property portfolio increased $168 and $330, or 7.6% and 7.5%, respectively primarily due to an increase in snow removal and property taxes. The increase in snow removal was a direct result of record snowfall in New England in January and February of 2005. Property taxes primarily increased in Florida, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania.

 

COMMON CONTINGENT SHARES AND COMMON CONTINGENT UNIT PROPERTY PERFORMANCE

 

Upon the achievement of certain levels of net operating income with respect to 14 of the Company’s pre-stabilized properties, the Company’s CCSs and the Company’s operating partnership’s CCUs will convert into additional shares of common stock and operating partnership units, respectively, beginning, with the quarter ending March 31, 2006. The average occupancy of these 14 properties as of June 30, 2005 was 66.7% as compared to 50.3% at June 30, 2004. The table below outlines the performance of the properties for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively.

CASH FLOWS

 

Cash provided (used) by operating activities was $4,445 compared to ($6,121) for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in cash used was primarily due to increased operating revenues as a result of property acquisitions in 2004 and the first six months of 2005, and lower cash funding requirements relating to the Company’s lease-up

properties. In addition, the Company did not pay any preferred return to Fidelity in 2005, as this minority interest was redeemed September 9, 2004.

 

Cash used in investing activities was ($76,605) and ($154,644) for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The decrease in 2005 is primarily the result of fewer acquisitions and development and construction of real estate assets in the first six months of 2005 than in 2004.

 

Cash provided by financing activities was $142,873 and $151,794 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively. The 2005 financing activities consisted primarily of additional net borrowings (including loan fees) of $76,714 offset by $14,182 paid in dividends. In addition, the Company issued 6.2 million shares of its common stock for net proceeds of $81.3 million. The 2004 financing activities consisted primarily of member contributions of $19,691 and net borrowings (including loan fees) of $127,517.

 

OPERATIONAL SUMMARY

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, the Company continued its same-store, year-on-year revenue growth that began in 2004 with a revenue increase of 3.1%. Move-in and move-out activity was very similar to the same period in 2004. Occupancy was essentially flat when compared to the quarter ended June 30, 2004. California and Florida remain our strongest regions, while New Jersey and Pennsylvania have continued to perform below the portfolio average. The metro-Boston area, the Company’s largest market, continues to rebound, both in terms of occupancy and revenue.

 

Same-store expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased 7.5%, primarily due to an increase in repairs and maintenance and property taxes. Snow removal expense was the main contributor to the increase in repairs and maintenance. Though the Company believes that the increase in repairs and maintenance due to snow removal expense was somewhat unavoidable, procedures will be implemented to minimize the potential financial impact in the future.

 

OUTLOOK

 

The Company believes that the acquisition of Storage USA, which closed subsequent to the end of the second quarter, will enable it to take advantage of its increased scale and property level revenue-generating opportunities. The transition of the Storage USA business processes, technology and human resources are underway and will continue for the next several quarters.

 

The Company has experienced continued increases in same-store revenue on a year-on-year basis, though there can be no assurance that this trend will continue. The Company is continually seeking to drive revenue growth by actively managing both pricing and promotional strategies utilizing the yield management features of STORE. Through the acquisition of Storage USA, the Company will gain Storage USA’s in-house yield management staff, which the Company believes can further enhance revenue gains. Several in-house initiatives and marketing promotions continue to be implemented which also support the drive for increased revenue. The Company continues to believe that the generally positive economic conditions, and its use of real real-time pricing and promotions, will continue to provide the Company with the opportunity to grow revenues.

The Company anticipates continued competition from all operators, both public and private, in all of the markets in which the Company operates. We expect some of the larger competitors in the industry to continue aggressive, large-scale media campaigns that may inhibit the Company’s ability to control discounts, especially at its properties in the lease-up phase. Despite this, the Company expects a continued positive operating climate for self-storage operators, particularly for those with well-located, highly visible, and efficiently managed self-storage properties.

 

REVENUE OUTLOOK

 

The Company feels that its pricing and discount strategies have positioned it well to maintain revenue growth for the remainder of 2005, but there can be no assurance that its current levels of revenue growth will continue. The Company aims to achieve not the highest level of occupancy, but the highest sustainable level of revenue to increase stockholder value. This may mean lower occupancy levels when compared on a year-on-year basis. The Company will also continue to selectively discount certain sites and units based on occupancy, availability, and competitive parameters that are controlled through the Company’s software solution.

 

Discounting was essentially flat at our stabilized properties on a year-on-year basis through the quarter ended June 30, 2005 versus June 30, 2004. The Company’s evolving system of analyzing site level data at a corporate level as it relates to site performance, customer behavior, competitive variables and its operational experience will continue to drive discounting strategy in the future.

 

As the Company continues to grow, media opportunities that only a few companies currently possess in the industry will become available. Currently, marketing programs have been targeted on a local level. The Company seeks to both continue to stretch its marketing dollar further and investigate other marketing channels to better communicate its services to prospective customers.

 

EXPENSE OUTLOOK

 

Repairs and maintenance have been one of the primary causes of the Company’s increase in expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005. This is the direct result of costs associated with increased snow removal due to record snowfall in New England in January and February of 2005. As a result, snowplow expenses were $400 higher in 2005 than 2004. The Company hopes to be able to decrease overall expenses through the remainder of 2005 in an attempt to bring overall repairs and maintenance expenses in line with budget for the current year. Property taxes were also up slightly during the first six months of 2005 due to the reassessment of several properties that the Company has developed in recent years. General and administrative expenses during the first six months of 2005 included $300 related to the acquisition of Storage USA.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $95,042 available in cash and cash equivalents. The Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its net taxable income,

 

30


Table of Contents

excluding net capital gains, to its stockholders on an annual basis to maintain its qualification as a REIT. The Company intends to use this cash to purchase additional self-storage properties in 2005, including the purchase of Storage USA in July 2005. Therefore, it is unlikely that the Company will have any substantial cash balances that could be used to meet its liquidity needs. Instead, these needs must be met from cash generated from operations and external sources of capital.

 

The Company, as guarantor, and its Operating Partnership, have entered into a $100.0 million Credit Facility, which includes a $10.0 million swingline sub facility. The Credit Facility is collateralized by self-storage properties. The Operating Partnership intends to use the proceeds of the Credit Facility for general corporate purposes and acquisitions. As of June 30, 2005, the Credit Facility has approximately $69.0 million of capacity based on the assets collateralizing the Credit Facility. The outstanding principal balance of the Credit Facility at June 30, 2005 was $0. The Credit Facility is due September 2007.

 

As of June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $559.1 million of debt, resulting in a debt to total capitalization ratio of approximately 49.3%. As of June 30, 2005, the ratio of total fixed rate debt and other instruments to total debt is approximately 83.7%. The weighted average interest rate of the total of fixed and variable rate debt at June 30, 2005 is approximately 5.2%.

 

The Company expects to fund its short-term liquidity requirements, including operating expenses, recurring capital expenditures, dividends to stockholders, distributions to holders of OP units and interest on its outstanding indebtedness out of its operating cash flow, cash on hand and borrowings under the Credit Facility.

 

Long-Term Liquidity Needs

 

The Company’s long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of distributions to stockholders, new facility development, property acquisitions, principal payments under the Company’s borrowings and non-recurring capital expenditures. The Company does not expect that its operating cash flow will be sufficient to fund its long term liquidity needs and instead expects to fund such needs out of additional borrowings, joint ventures with third parties, and from the proceeds of public and private offerings of equity and debt. The Company may also use OP Units as currency to fund acquisitions from self-storage owners who desire tax-deferral in their exiting transactions.

 

FINANCING STRATEGY

 

The Company will continue to employ leverage in its capital structure in amounts determined from time to time by its board of directors. Although its board of directors has not adopted a policy, which limits the total amount of indebtedness that the Company may incur, it will consider a number of factors in evaluating the Company’s level of indebtedness from time to time, as well as the amount of such indebtedness that will be either fixed or variable rate. In making financing decisions, the Company’s board of directors will consider factors including but not limited to:

 

    the interest rate of the proposed financing;

 

    the extent to which the financing impacts flexibility in managing its properties;

 

31


Table of Contents

Extra Space Storage Inc.

Amounts in thousands, except shares and per share data


 

    prepayment penalties and restrictions on refinancing;

 

    the purchase price of properties acquired with debt financing;

 

    long-term objectives with respect to the financing;

 

    target investment returns;

 

    the ability of particular properties, and the Company as a whole, to generate cash flow sufficient to cover expected debt service payments;

 

    overall level of consolidated indebtedness;

 

    timing of debt and lease maturities;

 

    provisions that require recourse and cross-collateralization;

 

    corporate credit ratios including debt service coverage, debt to total capitalization and debt to undepreciated assets; and

 

    the overall ratio of fixed- and variable-rate debt.

 

The Company’s indebtedness may be recourse, non-recourse or cross-collateralized. If the indebtedness is non-recourse, the collateral will be limited to the particular properties to which the indebtedness relates. In addition, the Company may invest in properties subject to existing loans collateralized by mortgages or similar liens on the Company’s properties, or may refinance properties acquired on a leveraged basis. The Company may use the proceeds from any borrowings to refinance existing indebtedness, to refinance investments, including the redevelopment of existing properties, for general working capital or to purchase additional interests in partnerships or joint ventures or for other purposes when the Company believes it is advisable.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

Except as disclosed in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company does not currently have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purposes entities, which typically are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, except as disclosed in the notes to the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company has not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities nor does it have any commitments or intent to provide funding to any such entities. Accordingly, the Company is not materially exposed to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if it had engaged in these relationships.

SEASONALITY

 

The self-storage business is subject to seasonal fluctuations. A greater portion of revenues and profits are realized from May through September. Historically, the Company’s highest level of occupancy has been as of the end of July, while its lowest level of occupancy has been in late February and early March. Results for any quarter may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company is exposed to market risk primarily due to fluctuations in interest rates. The Company utilizes both fixed-rate and variable-rate debt to offset these fluctuations. For fixed-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair market value of the debt instrument, but not earnings or cash flow. Conversely, for variable-rate debt, changes in interest rates generally do not impact the fair market value of the debt instrument, but do affect earnings and cash flow. The Company does not have the obligation to prepay fixed-rate debt prior to maturity, and, as a result, interest rate risk and changes in fair market value should not have a significant impact on the Company’s fixed-rate debt until it is required or elect to refinance it.

 

The table below sets forth, at June 30, 2005, the Company’s debt obligations, principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted-average interest rates and estimated fair value (amounts in thousands):

 

     Fixed-Rate Debt

    Variable-Rate Debt

   $ 460,655,104          $ 91,359,094       
    

        

      

 

Based upon the amount of variable rate debt outstanding at June 30, 2005, holding the variable rate debt balance constant, each one percentage point increase in interest rates would increase the Company’s interest cost by approximately $2.0 million annually.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROL AND PROCEDURES

 

The Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer conclude that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that information required to be disclosed by the Company in its Securities Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
