National Storage Affiliates Trust
Investor Relations

National Storage Affiliates Trust, a prominent player in the self-storage industry, crafts its story through a clever and distinctive business model. Founded in 2013, this real estate investment trust (REIT) has rapidly grown by forming partnerships with established regional self-storage operators across the United States. By leveraging local expertise and a decentralized management structure, National Storage Affiliates Trust creates a unique synergy that enhances operational efficiencies while maintaining the local touch that customers value. This hybrid approach allows them to marry local knowledge with the economies of scale and brand power of a national entity—a strategic blend that positions it favorably in a competitive market.

The company's revenue model is straightforward yet robust. It capitalizes primarily on rental income from its portfolio, which consists of a diverse array of self-storage facilities. National Storage Affiliates Trust acquires and leases out these spaces to individuals and businesses looking for convenient, secure storage solutions. They make their profits mainly through rental fees, which are adjusted based on occupancy rates, market demand, and economic conditions. Furthermore, the company also generates ancillary income from an array of services such as insurance products and late fee charges. This multi-channel approach not only stabilizes revenue streams but also helps in maximizing shareholder returns, showcasing a deep understanding of both real estate dynamics and consumer needs.

AI Summary
Q3 2025

Core FFO Beat: Core FFO per share for Q3 was $0.57, beating consensus estimates but down 8% year-over-year due to lower NOI and higher interest expense.

Revenue Inflection: Same-store revenue declined 2.6% in Q3, but management highlighted a clear sequential improvement and expects continued momentum into Q4 and 2026.

Positive Outlook: Management is notably optimistic about 2026, citing easing supply, strong internal execution, and readiness to capture growth via both rates and occupancy.

Expense Pressures: Expenses rose 4.9% in Q3, mainly from property taxes and a 29% increase in marketing, but pressures are expected to ease in Q4.

Guidance Maintained: 2025 guidance ranges for same-store growth and core FFO per share remain unchanged, with Q4 implied to show further revenue growth improvement.

Preferred Equity JV Launched: NSA launched a new preferred investment program with former PRO partners, targeting value-add deals with the potential for initial yields below 10% but accruing to that level over time.

Operational Improvements: Rebranding, centralized platforms, and a strengthened team are driving better occupancy, higher move-in rates, and improved marketing conversion rates.

Leverage Reduction: Net debt-to-EBITDA dropped to 6.7x from 6.8x, and liquidity remains strong with $550 million available on the revolver.
