On June 30, 2025, PSOC completed a public offering of $875 million aggregate principal amount of senior notes, including $475 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate senior notes bearing interest at an annual rate of 4.375% maturing on July 1, 2030 and $400 million aggregate principal amount of fixed rate senior notes bearing interest at an annual rate of 5.000% maturing on July 1, 2035.

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $309.0 million or $1.76 per diluted common share, compared to $468.4 million or $2.66 per diluted common share for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of $159.4 million or $0.90 per diluted common share. The decrease is due primarily to (i) a $158.5 million increase in foreign currency losses primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable, (ii) an $8.7 million decrease in equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities, and (iii) a $5.5 million decrease in interest income, partially offset by (iv) a $7.7 million increase in self-storage net operating income.

Move-out activities from our tenants increased slightly in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same periods in 2024. Move-out average annual contract rent per square foot decreased in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same periods in 2024, contributing to a 0.6% increase in annual contract rent per occupied square foot at June 30, 2025 as compared to the same periods in 2024.

Centralized management costs represent administrative and cash compensation expenses for shared general corporate functions to the extent their efforts are devoted to self-storage operations. Such functions include information technology support, hardware, and software, as well as centralized administration of payroll, benefits, training, repairs and maintenance, customer service, pricing and marketing, operational accounting and finance, legal costs, and costs from field management executives. Centralized management costs increased 13.6% and 8.1% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily driven by increases in personnel-related costs, including executive, human resource and facility management and pricing and marketing support.
Current report
Marketing expense includes Internet advertising we utilize through our online paid search programs, television advertising and the operating costs of our website and telephone reservation center. Internet advertising expense, comprising keyword search fees assessed on a “per click” basis, varies based upon demand for self-storage space, the quantity of people inquiring about self-storage through online search, occupancy levels, the number and aggressiveness of bidding competitors, and other factors. These factors are volatile; accordingly, Internet advertising can increase or decrease significantly in the short-term. Our marketing expense increased by 5.0% and decreased by 3.5% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2024. For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we utilized a higher volume of online paid search programs to attract new tenants as compared to the same period in 2024. We plan to continue to use internet advertising and other advertising channels to support move-in volumes in the remainder of 2025.

General and administrative expense decreased $0.9 million the three months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period of 2024, primarily due to a decrease in loss contingencies related to corporate legal matters.
Current report
As part of our successful operating model transformation, we’ve launched a corporate transformation initiative focused on modernization and growth. This includes streamlining our processes through technology, expanding our geographic footprint with a stronger presence in Texas and offshore locations, and continuing to invest in our people. The initiative is intended to transform our corporate functions improving efficiency and productivity.
Current report
We expect to incur corporate transformation costs of approximately $15 to $20 million as we complete the initiative over the next three years. Beginning in 2028, we believe this restructuring plan will result in future cost savings of approximately $3 to $5 million annually, although the amount and timing of such savings are subject to change depending on a variety of factors.

New Tax Legislation
Current report
Effective July 4, 2025, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (“OBBBA”) was signed into law. Certain provisions of OBBBA impact us and our shareholders. Among other changes, this legislation (i) permanently extended the 20% deduction for “qualified REIT dividends” for individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers under Section 199A of the Internal Revenue Code (“the Code”), (ii) permanently reinstates 100% bonus depreciation for certain property acquired after January 19, 2025, (iii) increased the percentage limit under the REIT asset test applicable to taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) from 20% to 25% for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2025, and (iv) increases the base on which the 30% interest deduction limit under Section 163(j) of the Code applies by excluding depreciation, amortization and depletion from the definition of “adjusted taxable income” (i.e. based on EBITDA rather than EBIT) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2024.

Industry-wide demand was slightly higher in the first quarter of 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 due to increases in customers who sought storage space for reasons other than home-moving activities.

Previous wording
We expect industry-wide demand from new customers in 2025 to improve as compared to 2024, subject to potential adverse effects from evolving political and macroeconomic uncertainty including changes in trade policy and new tariffs. Additionally, following the recent wildfires in southern California in early 2025, we anticipate an adverse impact on revenue growth at our self-storage facilities located in Los Angeles County and Ventura County, where a temporary governmental pricing limitation is in place under the “State of Emergency” declarations. These self-storage facilities generated approximately 10% of revenues earned by our Same Store Facilities in 2024. As a result, we expect Same Store Facilities revenues in 2025 to be similar to those earned in 2024.

The $7.7 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 is a result of a $12.0 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities (as defined below), partially offset by a $4.3 million decrease attributable to our Same Store Facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 0.2% or $2.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot and a decline in occupancy. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 2.9% or $6.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to increased other direct property costs, repairs and maintenance expense and marketing expense, partially offset by decreased on-site property manager payroll. The increase in net operating income of $12.0 million for the Non-Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of facilities acquired in 2024 and the lease-up of newly acquired and development/expansion properties.
