Public Storage Reports Results for the Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
GLENDALE, California - Public Storage (NYSE:PSA) announced today operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025.
“Public Storage’s third quarter results reflect differentiated strategies that continue to drive our performance,” said Joe Russell, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As industry fundamentals stabilize, new competitive supply declines, and acquisition market activity increases, we are well-positioned to continue advancing our compounding returns platform. We are raising our 2025 outlook for the second consecutive quarter based on outperformance in NOI growth, acquisition activity, and Core FFO per share growth.”
Highlights for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025
- Reported net income allocable to common shareholders of $2.62 per diluted share.
- Reported core FFO allocable to common shareholders (“Core FFO”) of $4.31 per diluted share.
- Achieved 78.5% Same Store (as defined below) direct net operating income margin.
- Acquired 49 self-storage facilities with 3.4 million net rentable square feet for $511.4 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2025, we acquired or were under contract to acquire 12 self-storage facilities with 0.9 million net rentable square feet for $119.9 million. Year-to-date, we have completed or are under contract to acquire facilities totaling 6.1 million net rentable square feet for an aggregate investment of approximately $934.5 million.
- Completed various expansion projects, which together added 0.3 million and 1.1 million net rentable square feet at a cost of $60.4 million and $268.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. At September 30, 2025, we had various facilities in development and expansion expected to add 3.9 million net rentable square feet at an estimated cost of $649.2 million.
Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2025
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $461.4 million or $2.62 per diluted common share, compared to $380.7 million or $2.16 per diluted common share for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of $80.7 million or $0.46 per diluted common share. The increase is due primarily to (i) a $71.5 million increase in foreign currency gain primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable and (ii) a $21.7 million increase in self-storage net operating income, partially offset by (iii) a $10.0 million increase in depreciation expense and (iv) a $5.4 million increase in interest expense.
The $21.7 million increase in self-storage net operating income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 is a result of a $21.5 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities (as defined below) reflecting the impact of newly acquired facilities and the lease-up of development/expansion properties.
Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $1.1 billion or $6.42 per diluted common share, compared to $1.3 billion or $7.43 per diluted common share for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of $179.7 million or $1.01 per diluted common share. The decrease is due primarily to (i) a $193.3 million increase in foreign currency exchange losses primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable, and (ii) a $10.4 million decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities partially offset by (iii) a $42.6 million increase in self-storage net operating income.
The $42.6 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 is a result of a $47.0 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities, partially offset by a $4.4 million decrease attributable to our Same Store Facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 0.1% or $2.8 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot offset by a decline in occupancy. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 1.0% or $7.2 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to increased property tax expense and centralized management costs, partially offset by decreased on-site property manager payroll expense and marketing. The increase in net operating income of $47.0 million for the Non-Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of newly acquired properties and the lease-up of development/expansion properties.
Funds from Operations
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and FFO per diluted common share (“FFO per share”) are non-GAAP measures defined by Nareit. We believe that FFO and FFO per share are useful to REIT investors and analysts in measuring our performance because Nareit’s definition of FFO excludes items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating and financial performance. FFO represents net income before real estate-related depreciation and amortization, which is excluded because it is based upon historical costs and assumes that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions. FFO also excludes gains or losses on sale of real estate assets and real estate impairment charges, which are also based upon historical costs and are impacted by historical depreciation. FFO and FFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. FFO is not a substitute for net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because it excludes investing and financing activities presented on our consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITs may compute these measures differently, so comparisons among REITs may not be helpful.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, FFO was $4.33 per diluted common share as compared to $3.80 per diluted common share for the same period in 2024, representing an increase of 13.9%, or $0.53 per diluted common share.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, FFO was $11.48 per diluted common share as compared to $12.34 per diluted common share for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of 7.0%, or $0.86 per diluted common share.
We also present “Core FFO” and “Core FFO per share” non-GAAP measures that represent FFO and FFO per share excluding the impact of (i) foreign currency exchange gains and losses, (ii) charges related to the redemption of preferred securities, and (iii) certain other non-cash and/or nonrecurring income or expense items primarily representing, with respect to the periods presented below, the impact of corporate transformation costs, loss contingencies, due diligence costs incurred in pursuit of strategic transactions, unrealized gain or loss on private equity investments, and amortization of acquired non real estate-related intangibles. We review Core FFO and Core FFO per share to evaluate our ongoing operating performance and we believe they are used by investors and REIT analysts in a similar manner. However, Core FFO and Core FFO per share are not substitutes for net income and net income per share. Because other REITs may not compute Core FFO or Core FFO per share in the same manner as we do, may not use the same terminology or may not present such measures, Core FFO and Core FFO per share may not be comparable among REITs.

Property Operations - Same Store Facilities
The Same Store Facilities consist of facilities we have owned and operated on a stabilized level of occupancy, revenues, and cost of operations since January 1, 2023. Our Same Store Facilities increased from 2,507 facilities at December 31, 2024 to 2,565 at September 30, 2025. The composition of our Same Store Facilities allows us more effectively to evaluate the ongoing performance of our self-storage portfolio in 2023, 2024, and 2025 and exclude the impact of fill-up of unstabilized facilities, which can significantly affect operating trends. We believe investors and analysts use Same Store Facilities information in a similar manner. However, because other REITs may not compute Same Store Facilities in the same manner as we do, may not use the same terminology or may not present such a measure, Same Store Facilities may not be comparable among REITs. The following table summarizes the historical operating results (for all periods presented) of these 2,565 facilities (175.3 million net rentable square feet) that represent approximately 77% of the aggregate net rentable square feet of our U.S. consolidated self-storage portfolio at September 30, 2025 (unaudited):

(b)Direct net operating income (“Direct NOI”), a subtotal within NOI, is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of supervisory payroll, centralized management costs, and share-based compensation in addition to depreciation and amortization expense. We utilize direct net operating income in evaluating property performance and in evaluating property operating trends as compared to our competitors.
(c)See reconciliation of self-storage NOI to net income provided below.
(d)Realized annual rent per occupied square foot is computed by dividing rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the weighted average occupied square feet for the period. Realized annual rent per available square foot (“REVPAF”) is computed by dividing rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the total available net rentable square feet for the period. These measures exclude late charges and administrative fees in order to provide a better measure of our ongoing level of revenue. Late charges are dependent upon the level of delinquency, and administrative fees are dependent upon the level of move-ins. In addition, the rates charged for late charges and administrative fees can vary independently from rental rates. These measures take into consideration promotional discounts, which reduce rental income.
(e)Annual contract rent represents the agreed upon monthly rate that is paid by our tenants in place at the time of measurement. Contract rates are initially set in the lease agreement upon move-in, and we adjust them from time to time with notice. Contract rent excludes other fees that are charged on a per-item basis, such as late charges and administrative fees, does not reflect the impact of promotional discounts, and does not reflect the impact of rents that are written off as uncollectible.
(f)Represents the absolute nominal change with respect to gross margin and square foot occupancy, and the percentage change with respect to all other items.
Property Operations - Non-Same Store Facilities
In addition to the 2,565 Same Store Facilities, we have 587 facilities that were not stabilized with respect to occupancies, revenues, or cost of operations since January 1, 2023 or that we did not own as of January 1, 2023, including 260 facilities that were acquired, 40 newly developed facilities, 63 facilities that have been expanded or are targeted for expansion, and 224 facilities that are unstabilized because they are undergoing fill-up or were damaged in casualty events (collectively, the “Non-Same Store Facilities”). Operating data, metrics, and further commentary with respect to these facilities, including detail by vintage, are included in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under “Analysis of Net Income - Self-Storage Operations” in our September 30, 2025 Form 10-Q.
Investing and Capital Activities
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we acquired 49 self storage facilities (11 in Florida, seven in Texas, six in Idaho, four in New Jersey, three each in Georgia and South Carolina, two each in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Oklahoma, and one each in Colorado, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, Virginia, and Wisconsin) with 3.4 million net rentable square feet for $511.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we acquired 74 self-storage facilities (20 in Florida, nine in Texas, seven in Idaho, six in Georgia, five each in Colorado, New Jersey, and South Carolina, two each in California, Illinois, Massachusetts, Ohio and Oklahoma, and one each in Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, and Wisconsin) with 5.2 million net rentable square feet for $814.6 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2025, we acquired or were under contract to acquire 12 self-storage facilities across eight states with 0.9 million net rentable square feet for $119.9 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we initiated various expansion projects, which contributed 0.3 million net rentable square feet (0.2 million in California, 0.1 million in Nevada, and less than 0.1 million in Texas) at a cost of $60 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we opened five newly developed facilities and various expansion projects, which together contributed 1.1 million net rentable square feet (0.6 million in California, 0.4 million in Texas, 0.1 million in Hawaii, and less than 0.1 million in New York and Nevada) at a cost of $268.8 million. At September 30, 2025, we had various facilities in development (expected to contribute 2.6 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $483.8 million and various expansion projects (expected to contribute 1.3 million net rentable square feet) estimated to cost $165.4 million. In total, these development and expansion projects are expected to deliver 3.9 million net rentable square feet at an aggregate cost of approximately $649.2 million. Our aggregate 3.9 million net rentable square foot pipeline of development and expansion facilities includes 2.2 million in Florida, 0.5 million in California, 0.3 million in Texas, 0.2 million in South Carolina, and 0.1 million each in Arizona, Colorado, Georgia, Washington DC, Idaho, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The remaining $381.4 million of development costs for these projects are expected to be incurred primarily in the next 18 to 24 months.
Distributions Declared On October 29, 2025, our Board of Trustees declared a regular common quarterly dividend of $3.00 per common share. The Board also declared dividends with respect to our various series of preferred shares. All the dividends are payable on December 30, 2025 to shareholders of record as of December 15, 2025.
Outlook for the Year Ending December 31, 2025
Set forth below are our current expectations with respect to full year 2025 Core FFO per share and certain underlying assumptions. In reliance on the exception provided by applicable SEC rules, we do not provide guidance for GAAP net income per share, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, or a reconciliation of 2025 Core FFO per share to GAAP net income per share because we are unable to reasonably predict the following items which are included in GAAP net income: (i) gains or losses on sales of real estate investments, (ii) foreign currency exchange gains and losses, (iii) charges related to the redemption of preferred securities, and (iv) certain other significant non-cash and/or nonrecurring income or expense items. The actual amounts for any and all of these items could significantly impact our 2025 GAAP net income and, as disclosed in our historical financial results, have significantly impacted GAAP net income in prior periods.

(a)FAD represents FFO adjusted to exclude certain non-cash charges and to deduct recurring capital expenditures, which do not include capital expenditures for energy efficiencies including LED lighting and solar panel installation. We utilize FAD in evaluating our ongoing cash flow available for investment, debt repayment, and common distributions. We believe investors and analysts utilize FAD in a similar manner. FAD is not a substitute for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because it excludes investing and financing activities presented on our statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITs may compute this measure differently, so comparisons among REITs may not be helpful.

(a)Net operating income or “NOI” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization expense, which is based upon historical costs and assumes that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions. We utilize NOI in determining current property values, evaluating property performance, and evaluating operating trends. We believe that investors and analysts utilize NOI in a similar manner. NOI is not a substitute for net income, operating cash flow, or other related GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results. This table reconciles from NOI for our self-storage facilities to the net income presented on our income statement.
