On July 13, 2025, Ki Corporation (“Ki”) and Public Storage (together, the “Consortium”) announced a revised non-binding indicative offer to acquire all of the outstanding stapled securities of Abacus Storage King (ASX:ASK) that are not already held by Ki or its subsidiaries (together, the “Ki Group”) for A$1.65 per stapled security. The Ki Group is currently ASK’s major securityholder. Under the terms of the revised offer, Public Storage’s share of the total estimated cost, excluding direct transaction costs, would be approximately $710 million (A$1.08 billion), anticipated to be funded with Australian Dollar denominated unsecured debt. Abacus Storage King is one of the largest self-storage owners in Australia and New Zealand with approximately 126 operating properties, 21 development sites, and 75 managed properties. The structure of the transaction is subject to finalization, and the transaction is subject to a number of conditions, including due diligence, negotiation of a definitive agreement, and legal, regulatory, and shareholder approvals.

Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 and 2024

Previous report

Industry-wide demand was slightly higher in the first half 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. Demand fluctuates due to various local and regional factors, including the overall economy. Demand for our self-storage space is also impacted by new supply of self-storage space and alternatives to self-storage.

Previous report

For our proposed joint acquisition of Abacus Storage King, if consummated, we plan to fund our share of the estimated cost, excluding direct transaction costs, of approximately $710 million (A$1.08 billion) with Australian dollar denominated unsecured debt.

Previous report

We are actively seeking to acquire additional facilities. However, future acquisition volume will depend upon whether additional owners will be motivated to market their facilities, which will in turn depend upon factors such as economic conditions and the level of seller confidence.

Using the proceeds from this offering we repaid PSOC’s outstanding $400 million aggregate principal amount of floating rate senior notes bearing interest at a rate of Compounded SOFR + 0.60% at maturity on July 25, 2025. We plan to use the remaining proceeds for general corporate purposes, including to make investments in self-storage facilities.

Previous wording

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $667.2 million or $3.79 per diluted common share, compared to $927.6 million or $5.26 per diluted common share for the same period in 2024, representing a decrease of $260.4 million or $1.47 per diluted common share. The decrease is due primarily to (i) a $264.8 million increase in foreign currency exchange losses primarily associated with our Euro denominated notes payable partially offset by (ii) a $20.9 million increase in self-storage net operating income.

Current wording

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.

Previous wording

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.

Current wording

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.

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.

Current wording

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.

Previous wording

The $20.9 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024 is a result of a $25.5 million increase attributable to our Non-Same Store Facilities, partially offset by a $4.6 million decrease attributable to our Same Store Facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 0.1% or $2.6 million in the six months ended June 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 1.5% or $7.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in 2024, due primarily to increased property tax expense offset by decreased on-site property manager payroll expense. The increase in net operating income of $25.5 million for the Non-Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of facilities acquired in 2023 and 2024.

Current wording

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.

Previous wording

We typically increase rental rates to our long-term tenants (generally, those who have been with us for at least six months) every six to twelve months. As a result, the number of long-term tenants we have in our facilities is an important factor in our revenue growth. The level of rate increases to long-term tenants is based upon evaluating the additional revenue from the increase against the negative impact of incremental move-outs, by considering customers’ in-place rent and prevailing market rents, among other factors.

Previous wording

Revenues generated by our Same Store Facilities increased 0.2% and 0.1% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024. The 0.2% increase in revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was due primarily to a 0.6% increase in realized annual rent per occupied square foot, offset by a 0.4% decrease in average occupancy, as compared to the same period in 2024. The 0.1% increase in the six months ended June 30, 2025 was due primarily to a 0.6% increase in realized annual rent per occupied square foot, offset by a 0.4% decrease in average occupancy, as compared to the same period in 2024.

Current wording

Revenues generated by our Same Store Facilities remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and increased 0.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2025 remained relatively unchanged due primarily to a 0.6% increase in realized annual rent per occupied square foot, offset by a 0.5% decrease in average occupancy and a 2.2% decrease in Late Charges and Administrative Fees, as compared to the same period in 2024. The 0.1% increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was due primarily to a 0.6% increase in realized annual rent per occupied square foot, offset by a 0.5% decrease in average occupancy, as compared to the same period in 2024.

Previous wording

The 0.6% increase in realized annual rent per occupied square foot in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, was due to cumulative rate increases to existing long-term tenants over the past twelve months offset by a decrease in average rates per square foot charged to new tenants moving in over the same period. At June 30, 2025, annual contract rent per occupied square foot was 0.6% higher as compared to June 30, 2024.

Current wording

The 0.6% increase in realized annual rent per occupied square foot in both of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024, was due to cumulative rate increases to existing long-term tenants over the past twelve months offset by a decrease in average rates per square foot charged to new tenants moving in over the same period.

Previous wording

The weighted average square foot occupancy for our Same Store Facilities was 92.6% and 92.1% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, representing a decrease of 0.4% as compared to the same periods in 2024. Higher year-over-year customer demand for the six months ended June 30, 2025, coupled with lower move-in rates led to a modestly higher move-in volume net of move-out volumes, as compared to the same period in 2024. The square foot occupancy for our Same Store Facilities increased 1.7% at June 30, 2025 as compared to December 31, 2024.

Current wording

The weighted average square foot occupancy for our Same Store Facilities was 92.2% and 92.1% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, representing a decrease of 0.5% due primarily to a decline in move-in volume net of move-out volumes, as compared to the same periods in 2024.

Previous wording

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.

Current wording

Move-out activities from our tenants decreased slightly for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the same periods in 2024. Move-out average annual contract rent per square foot decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024.

Previous wording

The following table sets forth average annual contract rent per square foot and total square footage for tenants moving in and moving out during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024. Contract rents gained from move-ins and contracts rents lost from move-outs included in the table assume move-in and move-out activities occur at the beginning of each period presented. The table also includes promotional discounts, which vary based upon the move-in contractual rates, move-in volume, and percentage of tenants moving in who receive the discount.

Previous wording

We expect industry-wide demand from new customers in 2025 to improve as compared to 2024, across a diverse set of markets, 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, 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.

Previous wording

Late charges and administrative fees increased 0.1% and 0.9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the same period in the previous year as a result of higher late charges collected on delinquent accounts and higher administrative fees as a result of higher move-in activities.

Current wording

Late charges and administrative fees decreased 2.2% and 0.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024, as a result of lower late charges collected on delinquent accounts due to lower customer delinquency rates for both periods.

Previous wording

Cost of operations (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased 2.9% and 1.5% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, 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.

Current wording

Cost of operations (excluding depreciation and amortization) remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and increased 1.0% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, as compared to the same periods in 2024. The year over-year increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was due primarily to increased property tax expense and centralized management costs, partially offset by decreased on-site property manager payroll expense and marketing.

Previous wording

Property tax expense increased 4.4% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared to the same period in 2024, as a result of higher assessed values. We expect property tax expense to grow approximately 5% in 2025 due primarily to higher assessed values.

Current wording

Property tax expense increased 4.9% and 4.5% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2024, as a result of higher assessed values.

Previous wording

On-site property manager payroll expense decreased 2.9% and 7.9% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively, as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to reduction in labor hours driven by the implementation of dynamic staffing models based on customer activity levels.
