- Repurchased 1,032,251 of the Company's common shares for approximately $40.0 million under the previously announced share repurchase program.
Full Year 2022 Highlights
- Reported net income of $183.8 million for full year 2022, an increase of 25.1% compared to full year 2021. Reported diluted earnings per share of $0.99 for full year 2022 compared to $0.98 for full year 2021.

- Reported an increase in same store NOI of 14.9% for full year 2022 compared to full year 2021, driven by a 12.1% increase in same store total revenues partially offset by an increase of 4.8% in same store property operating expenses.
- Acquired 45 wholly-owned self storage properties for approximately $569.2 million during full year 2022. Consideration for these acquisitions included the issuance of $68.9 million of OP equity.
Highlights Subsequent to Quarter-End
- Entered into an agreement on January 3, 2023, with lenders to increase the total borrowing capacity under the Company's credit facility by $405.0 million to $1.955 billion, and used incremental borrowings under the credit facility to retire $300.0 million of its $375.0 million of debt maturing in 2023.
- One of the Company's participating regional operators ("PROs"), Move It Self Storage and its controlled affiliates ("Move It"), retired effective January 1, 2023. As a result of the retirement, on January 1, 2023, management of the Company's 72 properties in the Move It managed portfolio was transferred to NSA and the Move It brand name and related intellectual property were internalized by the Company. In addition, NSA will no longer pay supervisory and administrative fees or reimbursements to Move It and on January 1, 2023, issued a notice of non-voluntary conversion to cause all subordinated performance units related to Move It's managed portfolio to convert into OP units. As part of the internalization, a majority of Move It's employees were offered and provided employment by the Company to continue managing Move It's portfolio of properties as members of NSA's existing property management platform.
- On February 24, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with affiliates of Personal Mini, one of the Company's PROs, to acquire a portfolio of 15 properties located in Florida for approximately $145.0 million, subject to receipt of approval from the selling entity's shareholders and other customary closing conditions. The Company expects to complete the acquisition in the first quarter of 2023.
“NSA had another exceptional year with annual same store growth of nearly 15%, second highest in our history,” commented Tamara Fischer, Chief Executive Officer. “Our strong organic growth combined with our opportunistic acquisition strategy resulted in over 24% annual growth in core FFO per share. We believe these results demonstrate the strength of our team, the benefits of our geographically diverse portfolio, as well as the ongoing advantages of our differentiated PRO structure."
Dave Cramer, President and Chief Operating Officer, stated, “We’re pleased with our strategies to balance rate and occupancy which produced double digit revenue growth of over 12% for the year, second highest in our history. I look forward to 2023 as we continue our focus on people, processes and platforms which will allow us to deliver growth and optimize value for all of our stakeholders.”

Net income increased $7.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2022 and increased by $36.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 ("year-to-date") as compared to the same periods in 2021. The increases resulted primarily from additional NOI generated from the 45 wholly-owned self storage properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2022, same store NOI growth, increases in management fees and other revenue, and an increase in equity in earnings from the Company's unconsolidated real estate ventures, partially offset by increases in depreciation and amortization, interest expense and general administrative expenses.
The increases in FFO and Core FFO for the fourth quarter of 2022 and year-to-date were primarily the result of incremental NOI from properties acquired during the year ended December 31, 2022 and same store NOI growth, partially offset by an increase in interest expense.

Year-over-year same store total revenues increased 7.4% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 12.1% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2021. The increase for the fourth quarter was driven primarily by a 12.4% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot, partially offset by a 4.2% decrease in average occupancy. The year-to-date increase was driven primarily by a 13.4% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot, partially offset by a 90 basis point decrease in average occupancy. Markets which generated above portfolio average same store total revenue growth include: Riverside-San Bernardino, Atlanta, and McAllen-Edinburg. Markets which generated below portfolio average same store total revenue growth include: Portland, New Orleans and Kansas City.
Year-over-year same store property operating expenses increased 1.6% for the fourth quarter of 2022 and 4.8% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2021. The increases primarily resulted from increases in marketing, utilities, and year-to-date property tax expense offset by a decrease in personnel costs.
Investment Activity
During the fourth quarter, NSA invested $39.9 million in the acquisition of two wholly-owned self storage properties consisting of approximately 196,000 rentable square feet configured in approximately 1,800 storage units. Total consideration for these acquisitions included approximately $7.6 million of net cash, the issuance of approximately $16.2 million of OP units, $15.9 million of SP units and the assumption of approximately $0.2 million of other liabilities.
Balance Sheet
During the fourth quarter, NSA repurchased 1,032,251 of the Company's common shares for approximately $40.0 million under the previously announced share repurchase program. For the full year 2022, the Company repurchased 1,986,175 shares for approximately $90.0 million. Under the program, the Company has remaining capacity of approximately $310.0 million out of a total of $400.0 million authorized.
On January 3, 2023, the Company entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement which expands the total borrowing capacity of its credit facility by $405.0 million to $1.955 billion with an accordion feature to expand the total borrowing capacity to $2.5 billion. The maturity date of the revolving line of credit is now January 2027 versus the previous maturity date of January 2024, while the total borrowing capacity was increased to $950.0 million from $650.0 million. In connection with the credit facility recast, the Company retired its $125.0 million term loan due January 2023 and its $175.0 million term loan facility due in June 2023, and converted LIBOR-based borrowings to SOFR. The Company funded the retirements with $230.0 million of incremental borrowings on existing term loans and $70.0 million of borrowings on its revolving line of credit. In Schedule 4 of the supplemental financial information, the Company has presented its debt summary as of December 31, 2022, giving pro forma effect for the credit facility recast, debt retirements, and an interest rate swap that was effective starting February 1, 2023.
Common Share Dividends
On November 9, 2022, NSA's Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.55 per common share, representing a 22.2% increase from the fourth quarter 2021. The fourth quarter 2022 dividend was paid on December 30, 2022 to shareholders of record as of December 15, 2022.
For full year 2022, NSA's Board of Trustees declared cash dividends of $2.15 per common share, representing a 35.2% increase from 2021.

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).

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.

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(5) 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. |

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. |
|
(6) |
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(5). |
