GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--National Storage Affiliates Trust ("NSA" or the "Company") (NYSE: NSA) today reported the Company's second quarter 2024 results.
Second Quarter 2024 Highlights
- Reported net income of $32.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 29.0% compared to the second quarter of 2023. Reported diluted earnings per share of $0.16 for the second quarter of 2024 compared to $0.28 for the second quarter of 2023.
- Reported core funds from operations ("Core FFO") of $71.2 million, or $0.62 per share for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 8.8% per share compared to the second quarter of 2023.
- Reported a decrease in same store net operating income ("NOI") of 5.6% for the second quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, driven by a 2.8% decrease in same store total revenues and an increase of 4.8% in same store property operating expenses.
- Reported same store period-end occupancy of 87.0% as of June 30, 2024, a decrease of 280 basis points compared to June 30, 2023.
- Acquired three wholly-owned self storage properties for approximately $25.2 million during the second quarter of 2024.
- Repurchased 1,908,397 of the Company's common shares for approximately $71.6 million under the Company's previously announced share repurchase program.
Highlights Subsequent to Quarter-End
- Effective July 1, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed the internalization of its participating regional operator ("PRO") structure. As a result, the Company purchased the PROs' management contracts, and in some cases, their brand names, related intellectual property and certain rights to the PROs' tenant insurance programs. As of the Closing Date, the Company will no longer pay supervisory and administrative fees or reimbursements under the previous agreements with the PROs. The Company plans to transition the majority of operations in a phased approach, which is expected to occur over the 12 month period following the Closing Date, and the Company has executed new asset management and property management agreements with a number of the PROs for all or a part of this transitionary period at newly negotiated management fees. In connection with the internalization, on July 1, 2024, 11,906,167 subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units converted into 17,984,787 OP units and DownREIT OP units.
- On July 29, 2024, the Company repaid in full the remaining $145.0 million of Term Loan Tranche B using the revolving line of credit.
- On July 30, 2024, a joint venture between a subsidiary of NSA and a state pension fund advised by Heitman Capital Management, LLC (the "2023 Joint Venture") acquired a portfolio of five self storage properties for approximately $71.9 million. The venture financed the acquisition with capital contributions from the venture members, of which the Company contributed approximately $18.0 million.
David Cramer, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We are focused on the internalization of the PRO structure that we announced in early June and closed on July 1st. We've made significant progress on our strategic initiatives over the past few quarters, including the sale of non-core assets, repayment of floating rate debt, formation of two new joint ventures, repurchase of common shares, and now the internalization of the PRO structure, all of which position NSA for growth going forward. I'd like to acknowledge and thank our PROs and the NSA team members for the significant time and effort that they have devoted to these initiatives as well as our People, Process and Platform projects, which we expect will significantly benefit our results going forward."
Mr. Cramer further commented, "We continue to feel pressure on operating results in this very competitive environment due to factors including less demand as a result of a muted housing market and the absorption of new supply, which is felt most prominently in the Sunbelt markets. We believe that these pressures will remain throughout the back half of the year. We also acknowledge that the transition of the PRO-managed stores creates an additional lift for our team in the near-term. We are acutely focused on navigating today's challenges and remain well-positioned to benefit when sector headwinds subside."

Net income decreased $13.2 million for the second quarter of 2024 and increased $41.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 ("year-to-date") as compared to the same periods in 2023. The decrease in net income in the second quarter of 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in NOI, primarily driven by (i) the sale of 32 self storage properties to a third party in December 2023, (ii) the contribution of 56 self storage properties to a joint venture between a subsidiary of NSA and a subsidiary of Heitman Capital Management, LLC (the "2024 Joint Venture"), in the first quarter of 2024, and (iii) the sale of 40 self storage properties to third parties in the six months ended June 30, 2024, partially offset by decreases in depreciation expense of $10.0 million and interest expense of $2.5 million. The year-to-date increase in net income resulted primarily from the gain on the sale of 40 self storage properties to third parties and 56 self storage properties contributed to the 2024 Joint Venture during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
The decreases in FFO and Core FFO for the second quarter of 2024 and year-to-date were the result of a decrease in NOI of 14.1% and 11.3%, respectively, which were partially offset by a decrease in interest expense of 6.2% and 3.0%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023. The decrease in FFO and Core FFO per share and unit for the second quarter of 2024 and year-to-date was largely driven by a decrease in same store NOI and an increase in general and administrative expenses.

Year-over-year same store total revenues decreased 2.8% for the second quarter of 2024 and 2.2% year-to-date as compared to the same period in 2023. The decrease for the second quarter was driven primarily by a 320 basis point decrease in average occupancy, partially offset by a 0.6% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot. The year-to-date same store total revenue decrease was driven primarily by a 350 basis point decrease in average occupancy, partially offset by a 1.5% increase in average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot. Markets which generated above portfolio average same store total revenue growth for the second quarter of 2024 include: San Juan, Wichita and New Orleans.

Year-over-year same store property operating expenses increased 4.8% for the second quarter of 2024 and 4.6% year-to-date as compared to the same periods in 2023. The increases primarily resulted from increases in marketing and insurance expense.
Disposition and Investment Activity
During the second quarter, NSA invested $25.2 million in the acquisition of three self storage properties completed under a 1031 exchange, consisting of approximately 200,000 rentable square feet configured in approximately 1,300 storage units. Total consideration for these acquisitions included approximately $25.1 million of net cash and the assumption of approximately $0.1 million of other liabilities.
During the second quarter, NSA sold one self storage property, consisting of approximately 155,000 rentable square feet configured in approximately 1,000 storage units for approximately $8.0 million.
On July 1, 2024, as part of the internalization of the PRO structure, the Company paid consideration in cash and equity for the purchase of the PRO management contracts and, in some cases, their brand names and related intellectual property at a value of approximately $34.6 million and to acquire certain rights with respect to each PROs' tenant insurance programs at a value of approximately $60.3 million. The total cash and equity consideration for these transactions consisted of approximately $32.6 million in cash and the issuance of 1,548,866 OP units. On June 28, 2024, NSA repurchased 194,888 subordinated performance units for approximately $8.5 million in cash in connection with the PRO structure internalization.
Balance Sheet

Common Share Dividends
On May 16, 2024, NSA's Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.56 per common share. The second quarter 2024 dividend was paid on June 28, 2024 to shareholders of record as of June 14, 2024.
2024 Guidance
The following table outlines NSA's updated and prior Core FFO guidance estimates and related assumptions for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company's revisions to Core FFO guidance estimates are primarily driven by lower same store growth assumptions. Certain line items in the table below have been adjusted for the impact of the internalization of the PRO structure, such as general and administrative expenses, management fees and other revenue, and subordinated performance unit distributions. Additionally, the Core FFO per share guidance incorporates an estimated weighted average share count of approximately 135.0 million beginning July 1, 2024, or approximately 126.6 million for the full year 2024.

(4) | 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. | |

(5) | 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 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). | |
