FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
 
 


Extra Space Storage Inc. Reports 2018 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Results
SALT LAKE CITY, February 20, 2019 — Extra Space Storage Inc. (NYSE: EXR) (the “Company”), a leading owner and operator of self-storage facilities in the United States and a member of the S&P 500, announced operating results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2018.
Highlights for the three months ended December 31, 2018:
 
Achieved net income attributable to common stockholders of $0.80 per diluted share.

Achieved funds from operations attributable to common stockholders and unit holders (“FFO”) of $1.20 per diluted share. FFO, excluding adjustments for deferred financing costs related to redemption of notes payable to trusts, non-cash interest, revaluation of deferred tax related to tax reform and tenant reinsurance claims related to hurricanes ("Core FFO"), was $1.22 per diluted share, representing an 8.9% increase compared to the same period in 2017.

Increased same-store revenue by 3.8% and same-store net operating income (“NOI”) by 4.4% compared to the same period in 2017.

Reported same-store occupancy of 91.8% as of December 31, 2018, compared to 91.9% as of December 31, 2017.

Acquired three operating stores and three stores at completion of construction (a "Certificate of Occupancy store" or "C of O store") for a total investment of approximately $74.3 million.

In conjunction with joint venture partners, acquired two operating stores and four Certificate of Occupancy stores for a total cost of approximately $69.8 million, of which the Company invested $15.7 million.

Added 33 stores (gross) to the Company's third-party management platform. As of December 31, 2018, we managed 536 stores for third parties and 233 stores in joint ventures, for a total of 769 managed stores.

Paid a quarterly dividend of $0.86 per share.
Highlights for the year ended December 31, 2018:
 
Achieved net income attributable to common stockholders of $3.27 per diluted share.

Achieved FFO of $4.62 per diluted share. Core FFO was $4.67 per diluted share, representing a 6.6% increase compared to the same period in 2017.

Increased same-store revenue by 4.1% and same-store NOI by 4.0% compared to the same period in 2017.

Acquired 14 operating stores, five Certificate of Occupancy stores and purchased our joint venture partner's interest in 15 stores for a total investment of approximately $457.1 million.






In conjunction with joint venture partners, acquired 15 operating stores, 15 Certificate of Occupancy stores and completed three developments for a total cost of approximately $420.8 million, of which the Company invested $123.2 million.

Added 153 stores (gross) to the Company's third-party management platform.
Joe Margolis, CEO of Extra Space Storage Inc., commented: “2018 played out as expected, and it was another solid year for Extra Space Storage. Our diversified portfolio continues to produce steady results, with same-store revenue and NOI growth both over 4.0% for the year despite the increasing impact from development. Our same-store NOI was enhanced by our strong external growth, together driving Core FFO growth of 6.6%. We expect additional pressure from new supply in 2019, but believe that our diversified portfolio and best in class platform are well positioned to navigate the competitive landscape."

(1)
Per share amounts may not recalculate due to rounding.

(2)
Adjustment to account for the difference between the number of shares used to calculate earnings per share and the number of shares used to calculate FFO per share. Earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method, which uses a lower number of shares than the calculation for FFO per share and Core FFO per share, which are calculated assuming full redemption of all OP units as described in note (3).

(3)
Extra Space Storage LP (the “Operating Partnership”) has outstanding preferred and common Operating Partnership units (“OP units”). These OP units can be redeemed for cash or, at the Company’s election, shares of the Company’s common stock. Redemption of all OP units for common stock has been assumed for purposes of calculating the weighted average number of shares — diluted as presented above. The computation of weighted average number of shares — diluted for FFO per share and Core FFO per share also includes the effect of share-based compensation plans using the treasury stock method.

the effect of competition from new and existing stores or other storage alternatives, which could cause rents and occupancy rates to decline;
potential liability for uninsured losses and environmental contamination;
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 (“REITs”), tenant reinsurance and other aspects of our business, which could adversely affect our results;
disruptions in credit and financial markets and resulting difficulties in raising capital or obtaining credit at reasonable rates or at all, which could impede our ability to grow;
increases in interest rates;
reductions in asset valuations and related impairment charges;
our lack of sole decision-making authority with respect to our joint venture investments;
the effect of recent changes to U.S. tax laws;
the failure to maintain our REIT status for U.S. federal income tax purposes; and
economic uncertainty due to the impact of natural disasters, war or terrorism, which could adversely affect our business plan.





All forward-looking statements are based upon our current expectations and various assumptions. Our expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith and we believe there is a reasonable basis for them, but there can be no assurance that management’s expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved. All forward-looking statements apply only as of the date made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise forward-looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
Definition of FFO:
FFO provides relevant and meaningful information about the Company’s operating performance that is necessary, along with net income and cash flows, for an understanding of the Company’s operating results. The Company believes FFO is a meaningful disclosure as a supplement to net income. Net income assumes that the values of real estate assets diminish predictably over time as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses. The values of real estate assets fluctuate due to market conditions and the Company believes FFO more accurately reflects the value of the Company’s real estate assets. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) as net income computed in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses on sales of operating stores and impairment write downs of depreciable real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization related to real estate and after adjustments to record unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. The Company believes that to further understand the Company’s performance, FFO should be considered along with the reported net income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. FFO should not be considered a replacement of net income computed in accordance with GAAP.
For informational purposes, the Company also presents Core FFO. Core FFO excludes revenues and expenses not core to our operations and non-cash interest. Although the Company’s calculation of Core FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs and real estate companies, the Company believes it provides a meaningful supplemental measure of operating performance. The Company believes that by excluding revenues and expenses not core to our operations and non-cash interest charges, stockholders and potential investors are presented with an indicator of our operating performance that more closely achieves the objectives of the real estate industry in presenting FFO. Core FFO by the Company should not be considered a replacement of the NAREIT definition of FFO. 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 as an indication of the Company’s performance, as an alternative to net cash flow from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an indicator of the Company’s ability to make cash distributions.
Definition of Same-Store:

The Company’s same-store pool for the periods presented consists of 783 stores that are wholly-owned and operated and that were stabilized by the first day of the earliest calendar year presented. The Company considers a store to be stabilized once it has been open for three years or has sustained average square foot occupancy of 80.0% or more for one calendar year. The Company believes that by providing same-store results from a stabilized pool of stores, with accompanying operating metrics including, but not limited to occupancy, rental revenue (growth), operating expenses (growth), net operating income (growth), etc., stockholders and potential investors are able to evaluate operating performance without the effects of non-stabilized occupancy levels, rent levels, expense levels, acquisitions or completed developments.  Same-store results should not be used as a basis for future same-store performance or for the performance of the Company’s stores as a whole.
