PUBLIC STORAGE REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2025 RESULTS
Public Storage (the “Company”) (NYSE: PSA) announced today its results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2025 and its outlook for full-year 2026. In addition, the Company posted a related Investor Presentation to its website at investors.publicstorage.com.

“Public Storage’s fourth 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 capitalize on the opportunities ahead. With the launch of PS4.0, we are building on that foundation by elevating the customer and employee experience, accelerating value creation, and unlocking the next phase of long-term growth for Public Storage.”

*Additional guidance assumptions can be found in the Company’s accompanying quarterly financial supplement.
*As described in more detail in the Company’s accompanying quarterly financial supplement, consistent with applicable SEC rules, we do not provide guidance for GAAP net income per share, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, or a reconciliation of estimated 2026 Core FFO per share to estimated GAAP net income per share because we are unable to reasonably predict certain items that are included in GAAP net income, including gains or losses on sales of real estate investments.
Operating Results
“Strong existing customer performance paired with solid execution from our team driving new move-ins resulted in quarter-end occupancy that was 0.5% better year-over-year. That represents the first occupancy increase in over four years further reinforcing the fundamental stabilization leading into 2026,” said Chris Sambar, Chief Operating Officer. “We are maximizing revenue and NOI as the industry operating environment stabilizes.”

Definitions (unaudited)
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.

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.
Funds Available for Distribution (“FAD”): 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.
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and FFO per diluted common share (“FFO per share”): 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.
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, realized or unrealized gain or loss on private equity investments, income tax benefits from the sale of solar tax credits, a cash and stock hiring bonus for a new senior executive 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.
Net operating income (“NOI”): 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 real estate 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 property operating trends. We believe that investors and analysts utilize NOI in a similar manner. 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. We believe that investors and analysts utilize NOI and Direct NOI in a similar manner. These measures are not a substitute for net income, operating cash flow, or other related financial measures, in evaluating our operating results. See Note 15 to our December 31, 2025 consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of NOI to our total net income for all periods presented.
Realized annual rent per occupied square foot: Computed by dividing rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the weighted average occupied square feet for the period. This measure excludes 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. This measure takes into consideration promotional discounts, which reduce rental income.

Realized annual rent per available square foot: Computed by dividing rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the total available net rentable square feet for the period. Similar to realized annual rent per occupied square foot, this measure excludes late charges and administrative fees, and takes into consideration promotional discounts, which reduce rental income.
Retained Cash Flow: Non-GAAP financial measure that we believe is helpful as a supplemental measure in assessing the Company's liquidity. This metric is computed by reducing Operating Cash flows by Distributions and Capital Expenditures.
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. The composition of our Same Store Facilities allows us more effectively to evaluate the ongoing performance of our self-storage portfolio by excluding 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.
