Sovran Self Storage Reports Third Quarter Results; Same Store Revenues Increase 7.3%; Raises Guidance

BUFFALO, N.Y.--()--Sovran Self Storage, Inc. (NYSE:SSS), a self storage real estate investment trust (REIT), reported operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2013.

Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2013 was $19.7 million or $0.62 per fully diluted common share. For the same period in 2012, net income available to common shareholders was $18.8 million, or $0.63 per fully diluted common share.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the quarter were $0.98 per fully diluted common share compared to $0.85 for the same period last year. The Company incurred acquisition costs of $0.8 million in the third quarter of 2013; in the third quarter of 2012, it incurred acquisition costs of $1.1 million in connection with property acquisitions. Absent these acquisition charges, FFO per share was $1.01 and $0.88 for the third quarter of 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Continuing occupancy growth and higher net rental rates contributed to the increase in FFO for the third quarter of 2013.

David Rogers, the Company’s CEO, commented, “The strong start to our leasing season continued through the summer and we enjoyed another remarkable quarter. Our marketing, sales, and revenue management platforms have delivered exceptional top line growth and, with expenses in check, we’re achieving our best ever operating results.”

OPERATIONS:

Revenues for the 362 stores wholly owned by the Company for the entire quarter of each year increased 7.3% from those of the third quarter of 2012, the result of a 250 basis point increase in average occupancy to 90.9%, increased rental rates and strong growth in insurance commissions.

Same store operating expenses increased 3.0% for the third quarter of 2013 compared to the prior year period, mainly as a result of increased insurance costs and property taxes.

Consequently, same store net operating income increased 9.3% this period over the third quarter of 2012.

Total revenues increased 14.9% over last year’s third quarter, while operating costs increased 13.9%, resulting in an NOI (3) increase of 15.4%. Overall occupancy averaged 89.9% for the period and rental rates improved 3.9% to an average of $11.21 per sq. ft.

General and administrative expenses grew by approximately $0.8 million over the same period in 2012, primarily due to increased salaries and internet advertising associated with the net 23 stores added to the Company’s platform since July 1 of last year.

During the third quarter of 2013, the Company experienced positive same store revenue growth in every state in which it operates. The stores with the strongest revenue impact include those in Texas, Florida, New York and North Carolina.

PROPERTIES:

During the quarter, the Company acquired three properties for a total of $27.9 million. The facilities are all located in markets where the Company already has a presence; two in Long Island, New York, and one in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

As previously announced and subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company entered into lease agreements to rebrand and operate four self storage facilities formerly known as “Westy Self Storage” as Uncle Bob’s Self Storage. The facilities are located in Connecticut and Long Island, NY – both markets where the Company already has a presence. The 15 year leases were negotiated in an off–market transaction and provide the Company with an option to purchase the four stores for an aggregate of $120 million during a fixed period of time between February, 2015 and September, 2016. The Company is required to make annual lease payments of $6 million, with a provision for annual increases of 4% per year.

The Company currently has two properties under contract for a total of $14.8 million. One of the facilities is located in Toms River, NJ and the other in Palm Beach, FL; both are markets in which the Company already has an established presence. Providing the properties pass due diligence, the Company expects to acquire these facilities during the fourth quarter of 2013.

Also subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company sold one property located in Dayton, OH for total net proceeds of $3.2 million, recognizing a gain of $300,000 on the transaction.

COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND:

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced a quarterly dividend of $0.53 per share or $2.12 annualized.

CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS:

Illustrated below are key financial ratios at September 30, 2013:

--   Debt to Enterprise Value (at $75.68/share)       20.5%
-- Debt to Book Cost of Storage Facilities 34.5%
-- Debt to EBITDA Ratio 3.93x
-- Debt Service Coverage 5.07x

At September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $9.7 million of cash on hand, and $126 million available on its line of credit (without considering the additional $75 million available under the expansion feature).

The Company issued 444,910 shares of its common stock via its previously announced ATM program during the quarter at an average price of $72.11 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $31.6 million after issuance costs. The Company used the proceeds to fund the purchase of the aforementioned properties. Also in July, the Company issued 23,712 shares at an average price of $69.38 through its Dividend Reinvestment Plan.

As previously announced, the Company refinanced its bank term loan and line of credit totaling $500 million. As part of the refinancing, the Company secured a $100 million term note with a delayed draw feature that was used to fund the $100 million term notes that matured September, 2013. The Company expects full year interest expense savings of approximately $4.1 million commencing in 2014 as a result of the refinancing.

YEAR 2013 EARNINGS GUIDANCE:

Management is encouraged by strong customer traffic and increasing rental rates in most markets. The following assumptions covering operations have been utilized in formulating updated guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2013:

Same Store

Projected Increases Over 2012

4Q 2013

 

Full Year 2013

 
Revenue 7.0 – 8.0% 7.5 – 8.5%
 
Operating Cost (excluding property taxes) 2.0 – 3.0% 2.5 – 3.5%
Property Taxes

8.0 – 9.0%

4.5 – 5.5%

Total Operating Expenses 3.5 – 4.5% 3.0 – 4.0%
 
Net Operating Income 8.0 – 9.0% 9.0 – 10.0%

The Company intends to spend up to $25 million on its expansion and enhancement program. It has also budgeted $15 million to provide for recurring capitalized expenditures including roofing, paving, and office renovations.

Prospective purchases of properties made for the remainder of 2013 are not expected to significantly impact guidance inasmuch as the Company expects to invest in both low occupancy turn-around opportunities as well as stabilized properties. Accordingly, neither the net operating income nor the acquisition costs relating to any acquisitions that may be made in the last quarter of 2013 are included in guidance.

General and administrative expenses are expected to increase to approximately $36 million due to the need for additional personnel required for recent acquisitions, income taxes on its taxable REIT subsidiaries, and the Company’s plans to continue expanding its internet marketing presence and revenue management program.

At September 30, 2013, all but $49 million of the Company’s debt is either fixed rate or covered by rate swap contracts that essentially fix the rate. Subsequent borrowings that may occur will be pursuant to the Company’s Line of Credit agreement at a floating rate of LIBOR plus 1.5%.

At September 30, 2013, the Company had 32.0 million shares of common stock outstanding and 0.2 million Operating Partnership Units outstanding.

As a result of the above assumptions, management expects funds from operations for the full year 2013 to be approximately $3.77 to $3.79 per share, and between $0.98 and $1.00 per share for the fourth quarter of 2013.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:

When used within this news release, the words “intends,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” 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, and in Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 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 by such forward looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the effect of competition from new self storage facilities, which could cause rents and occupancy rates to decline; the Company’s ability to evaluate, finance and integrate acquired businesses into the Company’s existing business and operations; the Company’s existing indebtedness may mature in an unfavorable credit environment, preventing refinancing or forcing refinancing of the indebtedness on terms that are not as favorable as the existing terms; interest rates may fluctuate, impacting costs associated with the Company’s outstanding floating rate debt; the Company’s ability to comply with debt covenants; the future ratings on the Company’s debt instruments; the regional concentration of the Company’s business may subject it to economic downturns in the states of Florida and Texas; the Company’s ability to effectively compete in the industries in which it does business; the Company’s reliance on its call center; the Company’s cash flow may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal, interest and dividends; and tax law changes which may change the taxability of future income.

(1) We believe that Funds from Operations (“FFO”) provides relevant and meaningful information about our operating performance that is necessary, along with net earnings and cash flows, for an understanding of our operating results. FFO adds back historical cost depreciation, which assumes the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably in the future. In fact, real estate asset values increase or decrease with market conditions. Consequently, we believe FFO is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating our operating performance by disregarding (or adding back) historical cost depreciation.
 
Funds from operations is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) as net income available to common shareholders computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses on sales of properties, plus impairment of real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments to record unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.
 
Our 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 (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, or as an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions.

(3) Net operating income or "NOI" is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measure that we define as total continuing revenues less continuing property operating expenses. NOI also can be calculated by adding back to net income: interest expense, impairment and casualty losses, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition related costs, general and administrative expense, and deducting from net income: income from discontinued operations, interest income, gain on sale of real estate, and equity in income of joint ventures. We believe that NOI is a meaningful measure of operating performance, because we utilize NOI in making decisions with respect to capital allocations, in determining current property values, and comparing period-to-period and market-to-market property operating results. NOI should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as total revenues, operating income and net income.
