(Unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS

National Storage Affiliates Trust was organized in the state of Maryland on May 16, 2013 and is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust focused on the self storage sector. As used herein, "NSA," the "Company," "we," "our," and "us" refers to National Storage Affiliates Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise. The Company has elected and believes that it has qualified to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes ("REIT") commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2015.

Through its controlling interest as the sole general partner of NSA OP, LP (its "operating partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership formed on February 13, 2013, the Company is focused on the ownership, operation, and acquisition of self storage properties predominantly located within the top 100 metropolitan statistical areas throughout the United States. Pursuant to the operating partnership's Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the "LP Agreement"), the operating partnership is authorized to issue preferred units, Class A Units ("OP units") and Long-Term Incentive Plan Units ("LTIP units"). The Company also owns certain of its self storage properties through other consolidated subsidiaries of its operating partnership, which the Company refers to as "DownREIT partnerships." The DownREIT partnerships issue equity ownership interests that are intended to be economically equivalent to the Company's OP units ("DownREIT OP units").

The Company owned, ~~managed~~816 ~~and controlled 811 of its~~ consolidated self storage properties in 3837 states and Puerto Rico with approximately 52.02 million rentable square feet in approximately ~~407~~410,000 storage units as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025. These properties are managed with local operational focus and expertise.

As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, the Company also managed through its property management platform an additional portfolio of 259 properties owned by the Company's unconsolidated real estate ventures. These properties contain approximately 18.0 million rentable square feet, configured in approximately 143,000 storage units and located across 24 states. The Company owns a 25% equity interest in each of its unconsolidated real estate ventures.

As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, ~~in total,~~ the Company operated and held ownership interests in 1,~~070~~075 self storage properties located across 4241 states and Puerto Rico with approximately 70.02 million rentable square feet in approximately ~~550~~553,000 storage units.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") and have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") regarding interim financial reporting. Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the condensed consolidated financial statements have been included. The Company's results of operations for the quarterly and year to date periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year or any other future period.

On January 3, 2023, the operating partnership, as borrower, the Company, and certain of the operating partnership's subsidiaries, as subsidiary guarantors, entered into a third amended and restated credit agreement with KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, and a syndicated group of lenders party thereto, which expanded the total borrowing capacity of its credit facility by $405.0 million to $1.955 billion. The Company presented changes in borrowings from certain lenders on a net basis in its prior year interim condensed consolidated statement of cash flows. The Company has corrected this error in the accompanying condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the nine month period ended September 30, 2023 to present on a gross basis the constructive receipts and payments under debt financings of $129.8 million and $129.8 million, respectively. The corrections had no impact to the total net cash used in financing activities in any interim period. The Company evaluated this adjustment both qualitatively and quantitatively and has concluded that this adjustment is immaterial to all impacted periods.

Principles of Consolidation

The Company's financial statements include the accounts of its operating partnership and its controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of entities.

When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, the Company evaluates the entity to determine if the entity is deemed a variable interest entity ("VIE"), and if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance with authoritative guidance issued on the consolidation of VIEs. When an entity is not deemed to be a VIE, the Company considers the provisions of additional guidance to determine whether the general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity when the limited partners have certain rights. The Company consolidates all entities that are VIEs and of which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that its operating partnership is a VIE. The sole significant asset of National Storage Affiliates Trust is its investment in its operating partnership, and consequently, substantially all of the Company’s assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of its operating partnership.10

AsWhen ~~of September 30,~~the ~~2024~~Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, the Company's ~~operating~~evaluates ~~partnership~~the ~~was~~entity to determine if the ~~primary~~entity ~~beneficiary~~is ~~of,~~deemed ~~and~~a ~~therefore~~variable ~~consolidated~~interest entity ("VIE"), ~~22 partnerships~~ ~~that~~and ~~are~~if ~~considered~~the ~~VIEs,~~Company ~~which~~is ~~owned 49 self~~deemed ~~storage~~to ~~properties.~~be ~~The~~the ~~net~~primary ~~book~~beneficiary, ~~value~~in ofaccordance ~~the~~with ~~real~~authoritative ~~estate~~guidance ~~owned~~issued byon ~~these~~the ~~VIEs~~consolidation ~~was~~of ~~$410~~VIEs.0 ~~million~~When ~~and~~an ~~$418.9 million~~entity asis ofnot ~~September 30,~~deemed ~~2024~~to ~~and~~be ~~December 31,~~a ~~2023~~VIE, ~~respectively.~~the ~~For~~Company ~~certain~~considers ~~DownREIT~~the ~~partnerships~~provisions ~~which~~of ~~are~~additional ~~subject~~guidance to ~~fixed~~determine ~~rate~~whether ~~mortgages~~the ~~payable,~~general ~~the~~partner ~~carrying~~controls ~~value~~a oflimited ~~such~~partnership ~~fixed~~or ~~rate~~similar ~~mortgages~~entity ~~payable~~when ~~held~~the bylimited ~~these~~partners ~~VIEs~~have ~~was~~certain ~~$188~~rights.7 ~~million~~The Company consolidates all entities that are VIEs and ~~$188~~of which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary.~~7 million~~ asThe ofCompany ~~September 30,~~has ~~2024~~determined ~~and~~that ~~December 31,~~its ~~2023,~~operating ~~respectively~~partnership is a VIE.

As of March 31, 2025, the Company's operating partnership was the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidated, 22 partnerships that are considered VIEs, which owned 49 self storage properties. The net book value of the real estate owned by these VIEs was $404.2 million and $407.1 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. For certain DownREIT partnerships which are subject to fixed rate mortgages payable, the carrying value of such fixed rate mortgages payable held by these VIEs was $172.9 million and $172.9 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the Company's general credit.

Revenue Recognition

Rental revenue

Rental revenue consists of space rentals and related fees. Management has determined that all of the Company's leases are operating leases. Substantially all leases may be terminated on a month-to-month basis and rental income is recognized ratably over the lease term using the straight-line method. Rents received in advance are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term associated with the prepayment. Promotional discounts and other incentives are recognized as a reduction to rental income over the applicable lease term.

Other property-related revenue

Other property-related revenue primarily consists of ancillary revenues such as tenant insurance and/or tenant warranty protection-related access fees, sales of storage supplies and truck rentals which are recognized in the period earned.

The Company has tenant insurance and/or tenant warranty protection plan-related arrangements with insurance companies and the Company’s tenants. During the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, the Company recognized $65.39 million and $65.36 million, respectively, of tenant insurance and tenant warranty protection plan revenues ~~and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized $17~~.~~1 million and $17.9 million, respectively, of tenant insurance and tenant warranty protection plan revenues.~~

The Company sells boxes, packing supplies, locks, other retail merchandise and rents moving trucks at its properties. During the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, the Company recognized retail sales of $0.54 million and $0.~~6 million, respectively and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized retail sales of $1.~~5 ~~million~~ ~~and $1.9~~ million, respectively.

Management fees and other revenue

Management fees and other revenue consist of property management fees, platform fees, call center fees, acquisition fees, amounts related to the facilitation of tenant warranty protection or tenant insurance programs for certain stores in the Company's consolidated portfolio and unconsolidated real estate ventures, access fees associated with tenant insurance-related arrangements, and profit distributions from the Company's interest in a reinsurance company.

1311

With respect to the 2016 Joint Venture, the 2018 Joint Venture, the 2023 Joint Venture and the 2024 Joint Venture (as each isas defined in Note 5), the Company provides supervisory and administrative property management services, centralized call center services, and technology platform and revenue management services to the properties in the unconsolidated real estate ventures. The property management fees for the 2016 Joint Venture, the 2018 Joint Venture and the 2023 Joint Venture are equal to 6% of monthly gross revenues and net sales revenues from the assets of the unconsolidated real estate ventures, and the platform fees are equal to $1,250 per month per unconsolidated real estate venture property. The property management fees for the 2024 Joint Venture are equal to 4% of monthly gross revenues and net sales revenues from the assets of the unconsolidated real estate venture. With respect to the 2016 Joint Venture, the 2023 Joint Venture and the 2024 Joint Venture, the call center fee is equal to 1% of each of monthly gross revenues and net sales revenues. During the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, the Company recognized property management fees, call center fees and platform fees of $4.7 million and $4.23 million, respectively ~~and during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized property management fees, call center fees and platform fees of $13~~.~~5 million and $12.6 million, respectively.~~

The Company also earns acquisition fees for properties acquired by the ~~unconsolidated real estate ventures, which are the~~ 2016 Joint Venture, the 2018 Joint Venture, the 2023 Joint Venture and the 2024 Joint Venture ~~(each as defined in Note 5)~~. These fees are based on a percentage of the gross capitalization of the acquired assets determined by the members of the 2016 Joint Venture, the 2018 Joint Venture, the 2023 Joint Venture and the 2024 Joint Venture, and are generally earned when the unconsolidated real estate ventures obtain title and control of an acquired property. During the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023, the Company recognized acquisition fees of $0.6 million and $0, respectively and during the nine months ended September 30,~~ 2024 ~~and 2023~~, the Company recognized no acquisition fees ~~of $0~~.~~6 million and $0, respectively.~~

The Company provides or makes available tenant insurance or tenant warranty protection programs for tenants at its properties. For certain of the properties in the Company’s consolidated portfolio and unconsolidated real estate ventures, the Company provides such tenant insurance through the Company’s wholly-owned captive insurance company and a separate reinsurance company in which the Company has a partial ownership interest. With respect to properties in ~~all of~~ the Company’s unconsolidated real estate ventures, the Company receives 50% of all proceeds from tenant insurance and tenant warranty protection programs at each unconsolidated real estate venture property in exchange for facilitating the programs at those properties. During the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, the Company recognized $67.~~1 million and $5.~~2 million, ~~respectively, of revenue related to these activities~~ and ~~during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized~~ $154.67 million ~~and $12.3 million~~, respectively, of revenue related to these activities.

Gain on sale of self storage properties

The Company recognizes gains from disposition of properties only upon closing in accordance with the guidance on sales of nonfinancial assets. Profit on real estate sold is recognized upon closing when all, or substantially all, of the promised consideration has been received and is nonrefundable and the Company has transferred control of the facilities to the purchaser.

Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

The Company’'s investments in its unconsolidated real estate ventures are recorded under the equity method of accounting in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. Under the equity method, the Company’'s investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures are stated at cost and adjusted for the Company’'s share of net earnings or losses and reduced by distributions. Equity in earnings (losses) is recognized based on the Company’'s ~~25%~~ ownership interest in the earnings (losses) of the unconsolidated real estate ventures, except for the 2024 Joint Venture, for which the Company follows the hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") method. The Company follows the "nature of the distribution approach" for classification of distributions from its unconsolidated real estate ventures in its condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Under this approach, distributions are reported on the basis of the nature of the activity or activities that generated the distributions as either a return on investment, which are classified as operating cash flows, or a return of investment (e.g., proceeds from the unconsolidated real estate ventures' sale of assets) which are reported as investing cash flows.

Noncontrolling Interests

All of the limited partner equity interests ("OP equity") in ~~the~~its operating partnership not held by the Company are reflected as noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests also include ownership interests in DownREIT partnerships held by entities other than ~~the~~its operating partnership ~~or its subsidiaries~~. In the condensed consolidated statements of operations, the Company allocates net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests to arrive at net income (loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust.

For transactions that result in changes to the Company's ownership interest in its operating partnership, the carrying amount of noncontrolling interests is adjusted to reflect such changes. The difference between the fair value of the consideration received or paid and the amount by which the noncontrolling interest is adjusted is reflected as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.12

For transactions that result in changes to the Company's ownership interest in its operating partnership, the carrying amount of noncontrolling interests is adjusted to reflect such changes. The difference between the fair value of the consideration received or paid and the amount by which the noncontrolling interests is adjusted is reflected as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Allocation of Net Income (Loss)

Effective July 1, 2024, in connection with the Company's internalization of ~~the~~its PRO structure, all outstanding ~~Class~~subordinated Bperformance units of our operating partnership ("subordinated performance units'") including all units of the DownREIT partnerships intended to be economically equivalent to the subordinated performance units ("DownREIT subordinated performance units") were converted into OP units and ~~units of the~~ DownREIT ~~partnerships intended to be economically equivalent to~~ OP units ~~("DownREIT OP units")~~, respectively. For periods in which the subordinated performance units were outstanding, the Company allocated GAAP income utilizing the HLBV method, in which income or loss was allocated based on the change in each unitholders’' claim on the net assets of its operating partnership at period end after adjusting for any distributions or contributions made during such period. For periods in which the subordinated performance units are not outstanding, the Company allocates GAAP income based on the number of common shares and partnership units (including DownREIT OP units) outstanding.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The Company has cash flow hedge derivative instruments that are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within equity, as discussed further in Note 12.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. From time to time, the Company maintains cash balances in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced a loss that resulted from exceeding federally insured limits.

Restricted Cash

The Company's restricted cash consists of escrowed funds deposited with financial institutions resulting from property sales for which we elected to purchase replacement property in accordance with Section 1031 of the Code, and for real estate taxes, insurance and other reserves for capital improvements in accordance with the Company's loan agreements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Internalization of PRO Structure

The Company completed the internalization of its PRO structure on July 1, 2024 (the "Closing Date"). As a result of the internalization, the Company purchased certain of each PRO’s assets, which included each PRO’s asset management and property management contracts (collectively, the "management contracts"), certain of each PRO's intellectual property and brands ("PRO IP") and certain rights related to certain PROs' tenant insurance programs (collectively, along with the management contracts and PRO IP, the "PROs' intangible assets"). The Company is transitioning the majority of operations in a phased approach, which has begun and is expected to continue over the 12 month period following the Closing Date, and the Company has executed new asset management and property management agreements with a number of its former PROs for all or a part of this transitionary period at newly negotiated management fees.

Consideration paid for the PROs' management contracts and PRO IP totaled approximately $34.6 million, consisting of 775,210 OP units and $3.4 million in cash. The Company allocated the purchase price to intangible assets acquired, consisting of management contracts and certain PROs' trade names. The Company also acquired certain rights related to certain PROs' tenant insurance-related programs. The consideration paid for the rights associated with the tenant insurance-related programs was approximately $60.3 million, consisting of 773,656 OP units and $29.2 million in cash. In addition, the Company incurred $1.4 million in transaction fees related to the transactions.

Additionally, in connection with the internalization of its PRO structure, effective July 1, 2024, all 11,906,167 outstanding subordinated performance units including all DownREIT subordinated performance units were converted into an aggregate of 17,984,787 OP units and DownREIT OP units. Each subordinated performance unit and DownREIT subordinated performance unit was converted into a number of OP units and DownREIT OP units determined by dividing the average cash available for distribution (CAD) per unit on the series subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units over a one-year period ending December 31, 2023, by 110% of the CAD per unit on the OP units determined over the same period. CAD per unit on the series subordinated performance units, DownREIT subordinated performance units, OP units and DownREIT OP units was determined by the Company based upon the application of the provisions of the operating partnership agreement applicable to the distributions of operating cash flow and capital transactions proceeds.

3. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

Shareholders' Equity

Series A Preferred Shares

The Company's 6.000% cumulative redeemable preferred shares of beneficial interest ("Series A Preferred Shares") rank senior to the Company's common shares with respect to dividend rights and rights upon its liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares, which are payable quarterly in arrears, are cumulative from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.50 per share each year. The Series A Preferred Shares became redeemable by the Company in October 2022 for a cash redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends. The increase in Series A Preferred Shares outstanding from December 31, 2024 to March 31, 2025, was due to the issuance of 2,387 Series A Preferred Shares upon the redemption of an equivalent number of 6.000% Series A-1 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Series A-1 preferred units"). As of March 31, 2025 the Company had 9,029,717 Series A Preferred Shares issued and outstanding.

At the Market ("ATM") Program

On ~~February~~November 2719, ~~2019~~2024, the Company and its operating partnership entered into a sales agreement with certain sales agents, forward sellers and forward purchasers, pursuant to which the Company may sell from time to time up to ~~an aggregate of~~ $~~250~~400.0 million of ~~common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share of~~ the Company's ("common shares") ~~and 6.000% Series A cumulative redeemable Preferred Shares of beneficial interest ("Series A Preferred Shares")~~ in sales deemed to be "at the market" offerings" (the "sales agreement"). On May 19, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the sales agreement with certain sales agents, whereby the Company increased the aggregate gross sale price under the program to $400.0 million, which included $31.0 million of the remaining available offered shares. The sales agreement contemplates that, in addition to the issuance and sale by the Company of offered shares to or through the sale agents, the Company may enter into separate forward sale agreements with any forward purchaser. ~~Forward sale agreements, if any, will include only the Company's common shares and will not include any Series A Preferred Shares.~~ If the Company enters into a forward sale agreement with any forward purchaser, such forward purchaser will attempt to borrow from third parties and sell, through the related agent, acting as sales agent for such forward purchaser (each, a "forward seller"), offered shares, in an amount equal to the offered shares subject to such forward sale agreement, to hedge such forward purchaser’s exposure under such forward sale agreement. The Company may offer the common shares ~~and Series A Preferred Shares~~ through the agents, as the Company's sales agents, or, as applicable, as forward seller, or directly to the agents or forward sellers, acting as principals, by means of, among others, ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.

During the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, the Company did not sell any common shares through the ATM program. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, the Company had $~~169~~400.1 0 million of capacity remaining under its most recent ATM Program.

Common Share Repurchase Program

On July 11, 2022, the Company approved a share repurchase program authorizing, but not obligating, the repurchase of up to $400.0 million of the Company's common shares ~~of beneficial interest~~ from time to time. On December 1, 2023, the Company approved a new share repurchase program authorizing, but not obligating, the repurchase of up to $275.0 million of the Company's common shares from time to time. On November 14, 2024, the Company approved a new share repurchase program authorizing, but not obligating, the repurchase of up to $350.0 million of the Company's common shares from time to time. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchase transactions will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will be subject to share price, availability, trading volume and general market conditions. ~~During~~Under these programs, the ~~nine~~Company ~~months~~did ~~ended~~not ~~September~~repurchase ~~30,~~any ~~2024,~~common shares during the ~~Company~~three ~~repurchased~~months ~~7,400,322~~ended ~~common~~March ~~shares~~31, ~~for~~2025 ~~approximately~~and ~~$275.2~~has ~~million,~~remaining ~~including~~capacity ~~commissions~~of ~~and~~approximately ~~fees~~$350.3 million.

Series A Preferred Shares

The Series A Preferred Shares rank senior to the Company's common shares with respect to rights and rights upon its liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares, which are payable quarterly in arrears, are cumulative from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.50 per share each year. The Series A Preferred Shares became redeemable by the Company in October 2022 for a cash redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends. The increase in Series A Preferred Shares outstanding from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024, was due to the issuance of 6,665 Series A Preferred Shares upon the redemption of an equivalent number of 6.000% Series A-1 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Series A-1 preferred units").

Noncontrolling Interests

All of the OP equity in the Company's operating partnership not held by the Company are reflected as noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests also include ownership interests in DownREIT partnerships held by entities other than the Company's operating partnership. NSA is the general partner of its operating partnership and is authorized to cause its operating partnership to issue additional partner interests, including preferred units, OP units and LTIP units at such prices and on such other terms as it determines in its sole discretion.

As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and December 31, ~~2023~~2024, units reflecting noncontrolling interests consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2024	December 31, 2023
	March 31, 2025	December 31, 2024
Series A-1 preferred units	1,~~205~~200,~~675~~211	1,~~212~~202,~~340~~598

Total	59,999,365	59,940,227
Total	60,147,033	53,879,191

Series A-1 Preferred Units

The Series A-1 preferred units rank senior to OP units and subordinated performance units in the Company's operating partnership with respect to distributions and liquidation. The Series A-1 preferred units have a stated value of $25.00 per unit and receive distributions at an annual rate of 6.000%. These distributions are cumulative. The Series A-1 preferred units are redeemable at the option of the holder after the first anniversary of the date of issuance, which redemption obligations may be satisfied at the Company’s option in cash in an amount equal to the market value of an equivalent number of the Series A Preferred Shares or the issuance of the Series A Preferred Shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustments. ~~The~~Generally, the Series A-1 ~~Preferred~~preferred ~~Shares~~units ~~are~~become redeemable by the Company ~~for~~beginning aten ~~cash~~years ~~redemption~~after ~~price~~the initial issuance of each Series A-1 preferred unit at a stated value of $25.00 per ~~share~~unit, plus accrued but unpaid ~~dividends beginning in October 2022~~distributions. The decrease in Series A-1 preferred units outstanding from December 31, ~~2023~~2024 to ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024,~~2025 was due to the redemption of 62,~~665~~387 Series A-1 preferred units for an equivalent number of Series A Preferred Shares.

OP Units and DownREIT OP units

OP units in the Company's operating partnership are redeemable for cash or, at the Company's option, exchangeable for ~~the~~ ~~Company's~~ common shares on a one-for-one basis, and DownREIT OP units are redeemable for cash or, at the Company's option, exchangeable for OP units in its operating partnership on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments in each case. The holders of OP units are generally not entitled to elect redemption until one year after the issuance of the OP units. The holders of DownREIT OP units are generally not entitled to elect redemption until five years after the date of the contributor's initial contribution or such later date as may be agreed to by the contributor and the operating partnership.

The ~~increase~~decrease in OP units outstanding from December 31, ~~2023~~2024 to ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 was due to ~~(i) 14,376,264 OP units issued upon~~ the ~~conversion~~redemption of 793,~~772,693~~661 ~~subordinated performance units due to the internalization of the PRO structure, (ii) the issuance of 1,548,866~~ OP units infor connection with the purchase of the PROs' intangible assets, (iii) 43,556 OP units issued upon the voluntary conversion of 23,690 subordinated performance units, and (iv) the conversion of 92,174 LTIP units into an ~~equivalent~~equal number of OPcommon ~~units~~shares, partially offset by the ~~redemption~~conversion of 150,~~326,914~~533 OPLTIP units ~~for~~into an ~~equal~~equivalent number of ~~common shares, 40,200~~ OP units ~~that were exchanged for DownREIT OP units and the redemption of 28,017 OP units for cash~~.

The increase in DownREIT OP units outstanding from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024 was due to 3,608,523 DownREIT OP units issued upon the conversion of 4,133,474 DownREIT subordinated performance units due to the internalization of the PRO structure and 40,200 DownREIT OP units that were issued in exchange for OP units.

Subordinated Performance Units and DownREIT Subordinated Performance Units

Effective July 1, 2024, in connection with the internalization of the PRO structure, all 11,906,167 outstanding subordinated performance units (including all DownREIT subordinated performance units) were converted into an aggregate of 17,984,787 OP units and DownREIT OP units. Each subordinated performance unit and DownREIT subordinated performance unit was converted into the number of OP units and DownREIT OP units determined by dividing the average cash available for distribution (CAD) per unit on the series subordinated performance units over the one-year period ending December 31, 2023, by 110% of the CAD per unit on the OP units determined over the same period.

The decrease in subordinated performance units outstanding from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024 was due to (i) the conversion of 7,772,693 subordinated performance units into 14,376,264 OP units due to the internalization of the PRO structure, (ii) the voluntary conversion of 23,690 subordinated performance units into 43,556 OP units (iii) and the redemption of 194,888 subordinated performance units for cash.

The decrease in DownREIT subordinated performance units outstanding from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024 was due to the conversion of 4,133,474 DownREIT subordinated performance units into 3,608,523 DownREIT OP units due to the internalization of the PRO structure.

LTIP Units

LTIP units are a special class of partnership interest in the Company's operating partnership that allow the holder to participate in the ordinary and liquidating distributions received by holders of the OP units (subject to the achievement of specified levels of profitability by the Company's operating partnership or the achievement of certain events). LTIP units may also, under certain circumstances, be convertible into OP units on a one-for-one basis, which are then exchangeable for common shares as described above.

The increase in LTIP units outstanding from December 31, ~~2023~~2024 to ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 was due to the issuance of ~~176~~155,~~974~~186 compensatory LTIP units to employees and trustees, net of forfeitures,. This increase was partially offset by the conversion of 9250,~~174~~533 LTIP units into an equivalent number of OP units.

Outstanding equity interests of the Company's operating partnership and DownREIT partnerships are considered potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted earnings per share as the unitholders may, through the exercise of redemption rights, obtain common shares, subject to various restrictions. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by further adjusting for the dilutive impact using the treasury stock method for unvested LTIP units subject to a service condition outstanding during the period and the if-converted method for any convertible securities outstanding during the period.

Generally, following certain lock-out periods, OP units in the Company's operating partnership are redeemable for cash or, at the Company's option, exchangeable for common shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments and DownREIT OP units are redeemable for cash or, at the Company's option, exchangeable for OP units in its operating partnership on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments in each case.

LTIP units may also, under certain circumstances, be convertible into OP units on a one-for-one basis, which are then exchangeable for common shares as described above. Certain LTIP units vested prior to or upon the completion of the Company's initial public offering and certain LTIP units have vested upon the satisfaction of a service or market condition or will vest upon the satisfaction of future service and market conditions. Vested LTIP units and unvested LTIP units that vest based on a service or market condition are allocated income or loss in a similar manner as OP units. Unvested LTIP units subject to a service or market condition are evaluated for dilution using the treasury stock method. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, 540,751 unvested LTIP units that vest based on a service or market condition are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they are not dilutive to earnings per share. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, 208,400 LTIP units that vest upon the future acquisition of properties are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the contingency for the units to vest has not been attained as of the end of the reported period.21

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, potential common shares totaling 58.1 million related to OP units, DownREIT OP units and vested LTIP units have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they are not dilutive to earnings per share.

Participating securities, which consist of unvested restricted common shares, receive dividends equal to those received by common shares. The effect of participating securities for the periods presented above is calculated using the two-class method of allocating distributed and undistributed earnings.

10. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Effective July 1, 2024, in connection with the internalization of ~~the~~its PRO structure, the Company purchased the PROs' management contracts. ~~and~~As isof ~~transitioning~~March 31, 2025, the majority of operations inhave atransitioned ~~phased approach, which has begun and is expected~~ to ~~continue over~~ the ~~12-month period following the Closing Date.

In connection with the internalization of the PRO structure, the Company entered into new asset management agreements with certain of its former PROs ~~prior~~ to ~~the~~continue ~~internalization of the PRO structure,~~ to provide leasing, operating, supervisory and administrative services for certain self storage properties on a transitionary basis. These new asset management agreements generally provided for fees ranging from 5% to 6% of gross revenue for such managed self storage properties. ~~Through~~Under ~~June 30, 2024,~~ the ~~Company~~current ~~incurred~~asset ~~$10.2~~management ~~million~~agreements ~~for~~with ~~supervisory and administrative fees to the~~ former PROs, ~~under~~during the ~~prior asset management agreements.

Such~~ fees are included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Payroll Services

For the self storage properties that were managed by the Company's former PROs, and pursuant to their respective management contracts and new asset management agreements, the employees responsible for operations were employees of ~~its~~the Company's former PROs who charged the Company for the costs associated with the respective employees. ~~Through June 30, 2024, the Company incurred $13.7 million for payroll and related costs reimbursable to the former PROs under the prior asset management agreements.~~ For the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September 30~~March 31, ~~2023~~2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $61.78 million and $196.89 million, respectively, for payroll and related costs reimbursable to these former PROs. Such costs are included in property operating expenses in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In connection with the internalization of the PRO structure, a company owned and controlled by Mark Van Mourick, a former trustee of the Company, received 209,333 OP units with a value of approximately $8.4 million, along with approximately $2.9 million in cash. Prior to becoming a trustee of the Company, Warren Allen and a company owned and controlled by Mr. Allan, collectively received 209,333 OP units with a value of approximately $8.4 million and approximately $2.9 million in cash. Additionally, Arlen Nordhagen, the vice chairperson of the Company's board of trustees, received 64,887 OP units with a value of approximately $2.6 million as a result of a noncontrolling investment in one of the former PRO's affiliates.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Legal Proceedings

The Company is subject to litigation, claims, and assessments that may arise in the ordinary course of its business activities. Such matters include contractual matters, employment related issues, and regulatory proceedings. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, the Company believes that the final disposition of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or liquidity.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company sometimes limits its exposure to interest rate fluctuations by entering into interest rate swap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements moderate the Company's exposure to interest rate risk by effectively converting the interest on variable rate debt to a fixed rate. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. The Company measures its interest rate swap derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis. The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Information regarding the Company's interest rate swaps measured at fair value, which are classified within Level 2 of the GAAP fair value hierarchy, is presented below (dollars in thousands):

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with aggregate current notional amounts of $860.0 million and $1,085.0 million, respectively, designated as cash flow hedges. As of March 31, 2025, the Company's swaps had a weighted average remaining term of approximately 3.0 years.

As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding interest rate swaps with aggregate current notional amounts of $1,085.0 million and $1,335.0 million, respectively, designated as cash flow hedges. As of September 30, 2024, the Company's swaps had a weighted average remaining term of approximately 2.9 years.

In connection with the issuance of fixed rate unsecured notes in the second quarter of 2023, we entered into $50.0 million of forward starting interest rate swaps on March 16, 2023, and a $25.0 million forward starting interest rate swap on March 24, 2023, locking the interest rate of compounded SOFR at 3.25% through April 5, 2023. These interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges. The realized loss of $1.6 million of the compounded SOFR swaps are included in unrealized and realized gains (loss) on derivative instruments in comprehensive income (loss) and will be reclassified into interest expense over 10 years, which is the term of anticipated unsecured fixed rate debt including any replacement debt thereof. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income will be reclassified into interest expense as interest payments are made on the anticipated debt.

The fair value of these swaps are included in other assets and liabilities in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the Company recognizes any changes in the fair value as an adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within equity. If the forward rates at September 30, 2024 remain constant, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months, the Company would reclassify into earnings, as a reduction in interest expense, approximately $8.3 million of the unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If market interest rates remain above the 2.76% weighted average fixed rate under these interest rate swaps the Company will continue to receive payments due to it from its counterparties to the interest rate swaps.23

29There were no transfers between levels of the three-tier fair value measurement hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024. For financial assets and liabilities that utilize Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including applicable yield curves. The Company uses valuation techniques for Level 2 financial assets and liabilities which include applicable yield curves at the reporting date as well as assessing counterparty credit risk. Counterparties to these contracts are highly rated financial institutions. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the Company's derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and the counterparties. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company determined that the effect of credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. Therefore, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations are appropriately classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Fair Value Disclosures

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, ~~and~~ accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~December 31~~2024, ~~2023,~~ approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these financial assets and liabilities. The carrying value of variable rate debt financing, comprising the Revolver, term loans under our credit facility and our term loan facilities, reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~December 31~~2024, ~~2023~~ approximates fair value as the changes in their associated interest rates reflect the current market and credit risk, which is similar to when the loans were originally obtained.

The fair values of fixed rate private placement notes and mortgages were estimated using the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt; the discount rates used approximated current market rates for loans, or groups of loans, with similar maturities and credit quality (categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy).

13. Segments

The Company manages the business as one reportable segment consisting of owning and managing self storage properties located in the United States. The Company collects rental revenue from customers for space rentals and related fees. Although the Company has several operating segments consisting of self storage properties in different geographic markets, these operating segments have been aggregated into one reportable segment based on the similar economic characteristics among all markets. The Company considers factors such as the physical and economic characteristics of its properties and the related operating activities in determining its operating segments. Operating segments that exhibit similar physical and economic characteristics and other operating similarities have been aggregated. The Company has other operating segments, consisting of activities other than owning and managing self storage properties, that are insignificant based on the guidance set forth in ASC 280, and included under the heading "All Other."

The Company's chief operating decision maker ("CODM") is its President and Chief Executive Officer. The CODM uses net operating income ("NOI") to assess segment performance and allocate resources. NOI is the key measure used by the CODM to evaluate the economic productivity from owning and managing the Company's self storage properties, as it enables the CODM to evaluate the operating performance of the Company's self storage properties on a consistent and comparable basis from period to period.

Reportable segment asset information is not provided to the CODM as the CODM does not use segment asset information to evaluate the business and allocate resources.

The following table presents our reportable segment NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in thousands):

Overview

National Storage Affiliates Trust is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust organized in the state of Maryland on May 16, 2013. We have elected and we believe that we have qualified to be taxed as a REIT commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2015. We serve as the sole general partner of our operating partnership, a Delaware limited partnership formed on February 13, 2013 to conduct our business, which is focused on the ownership, operation, and acquisition of self storage properties located predominantly within the top 100 metropolitan statistical areas throughout the United States.

Our vice chairperson of the board of trustees and former chairperson of the board of trustees and chief executive officer, Arlen D. Nordhagen, co-founded SecurCare Self Storage, Inc. in 1988 to invest in and manage self storage properties. While growing SecurCare to over 150 self storage properties, Mr. Nordhagen recognized a market opportunity for a differentiated public self storage REIT that would leverage the benefits of national scale by integrating multiple experienced regional self storage operators with local operational focus and expertise. Although the PRO structure contributed significantly to our ~~significant~~ growth over the last decade, the internalization of the PRO structure ~~has~~was always ~~been~~ a part of our long term vision. Our former structure offered ~~our~~the former PROs a unique opportunity to serve as regional property managers for their managed portfolios and directly participate in the potential upside of those properties while simultaneously diversifying their investment to include a broader portfolio of self storage properties. Over time, largely through our unconsolidated real estate ventures, PRO retirements and the internalization of ~~PROs~~our PRO structure, effective July 1, 2024, we have developed a full service internally-staffed property management platform. ~~Effective July 1, 2024, we internalized our PRO structure.~~

As a result of the internalization of the PRO structure, effective July 1, 2024 (the "Closing Date"), we purchased each PRO's management contracts, certain PRO IP, and certain rights with respect to the PROs' tenant insurance programs. We are transitioning the majority of operations in a phased approach, which has begun and is expected to continue over the 12 month period following the Closing Date, and we have executed new asset management and property management agreements with a number of our former PROs for all or a part of this transitionary period at newly negotiated management fees. In connection with the internalization, on July 1, 2024, all 11,906,167 outstanding subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units were converted into an aggregate of 17,984,787 OP units and DownREIT OP units.

Our Structure

Through our property management platform, we direct, manage and control the day-to-day operations and affairs of our consolidated properties and our unconsolidated real estate ventures. As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, our property management platform managed and controlled the majority of our ~~811~~816 consolidated properties and all 259 ~~properties~~of in our unconsolidated real estate ~~ventures~~venture properties. The properties are primarily managed by us under the brands of iStorage, Move It, Moove In, Northwest, RightSpace, SecurCare and Southern.

We earn certain customary fees for managing and operating the properties in the unconsolidated real estate ventures and we facilitate tenant insurance and/or tenant warranty protection programs for tenants at these properties in exchange for half of all proceeds from such programs.

Our Consolidated Properties

We seek to own properties that are well located in high quality sub-markets with highly accessible street access and attractive supply and demand characteristics, providing our properties with strong and stable cash flows that we believe are less sensitive to the fluctuations of the general economy. Many of these markets have multiple barriers to entry against increased supply, including zoning restrictions against new construction and new construction costs that we believe are higher than our properties' fair market value.

As of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, we owned a geographically diversified portfolio of ~~811~~816 self storage properties, located in 3837 states and Puerto Rico, comprising approximately 52.02 million rentable square feet, configured in approximately ~~407~~410,000 storage units. ~~Of these properties, 306 were acquired by us from our former PROs, 504 were acquired from third-party sellers and one was acquired from the 2016 Joint Venture.~~

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we acquired three self storage properties for $25.2 million, comprising approximately 200,000 rentable square feet, configured in approximately 1,300 storage units. All of these self storage properties were acquired by us from third parties.

Our Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

We seek to opportunistically partner with institutional funds and other institutional investors to acquire attractive portfolios utilizing a promoted return structure. We believe there is significant opportunity for continued external growth by partnering with institutional investors seeking to deploy capital in the self storage industry. In addition, we consider the 75% third-party interest in the Company's unconsolidated real estate ventures, which currently own 259 properties, to present a potential acquisition opportunity. This 75% third-party share of gross real estate assets is approximately $2.0 billion based on the historical book value of the joint ventures. Were we to pursue an acquisition of these interests, it could potentially drive our future growth.

2024 Joint Venture

OnAs ~~February~~of 13March 31, ~~2024~~2025, ~~we entered into~~ the 2024 Joint Venture, in which we have a 25% ownership interest~~. During 2024~~, weowned ~~contributed~~and operated 56 self storage properties containing approximately 3.2 million rentable square feet, configured in ~~over~~approximately 24,000 storage units and located across seven states.

2016 Joint Venture

Results of Operations

When reviewing our results of operations it is important to consider the timing of acquisition and disposition activity and the internalization of our PRO structure. We ~~contributed~~acquired 56three self storage properties ~~to the 2024 Joint Venture~~ and ~~sold~~disposed anof ~~additional~~two 40 self storage properties ~~to third parties~~ during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September 30~~March 31, ~~2024~~2025. WeDuring ~~also sold 32 self storage properties to a third party during~~ the ~~three~~year ~~months~~ ended December 31, ~~2023.~~2024, Wewe ~~acquired~~contributed ~~three~~56 self storage properties ~~during~~to the ~~nine~~2024 ~~months~~Joint ~~ended September 30~~Venture, ~~2024~~sold ~~and~~an 20additional 40 self storage properties ~~during~~and ~~the~~acquired ~~year~~seven ~~ended~~self ~~December 31,~~storage ~~2023~~properties. As a result of these and other factors, we do not believe that our historical results of operations discussed and analyzed below are comparable or necessarily indicative of our future results of operations or cash flows.

The following discussion and analysis of the results of our operations and financial condition should be read in conjunction with the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1. Certain figures, such as interest rates and other percentages, included in this section have been rounded for ease of presentation. Percentage figures included in this section have not in all cases been calculated on the basis of such rounded figures but on the basis of such amounts prior to rounding. For this reason, percentage amounts in this section may vary slightly from those obtained by performing the same calculations using the figures in our condensed consolidated financial statements or in the associated text. Certain other amounts that appear in this section may similarly not sum due to rounding.

Total Revenue

Our total revenue, including management fees and other revenue, decreased by $257.58 million, or 114.60%, for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, as compared to the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to ~~(i)~~ the ~~sale of 32 self storage properties to a third party in the three months ended December 31, 2023, (ii) the~~ contribution of 56 self storage properties to the 2024 Joint Venture ~~in the three months ended March 31, 2024,~~ and ~~(iii)~~ the sale of 4042 self storage properties to unaffiliated third parties inbetween ~~the~~January ~~nine~~1, ~~months~~2024 ~~ended~~and ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025. The decrease in total revenue was also attributable to a decrease in total portfolio average occupancy from 8885.62% for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024 to 8683.04% for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025. Average occupancy is calculated based on the average of the month-end occupancy immediately preceding the period presented and the month-end occupancies included in the respective period presented.

Rental Revenue

Rental revenue decreased by $2710.49 million, or ~~13.~~6.0%, for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, as compared to the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024. The decrease in rental revenue was primarily attributable to ~~(i)~~ the ~~sale of 32 self storage properties to a third party in the three months ended December 31, 2023, (ii) the~~ contribution of 56 self storage properties to the 2024 Joint Venture ~~in the three months ended March 31, 2024,~~ and ~~(iii)~~ the sale of 4042 self storage properties to unaffiliated third parties inbetween ~~the~~January ~~nine~~1, ~~months~~2024 ~~ended~~and ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025. Annualized total portfolio rental revenues (including fees and net of any discounts and uncollectible customer amounts) divided by average occupied square feet ("average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot") ~~increased~~decreased from $15.3270, for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024 to $15.5758, or 10.68%, for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, driven primarily by ~~increased~~decreased contractual lease rates for in-place tenants.

Other Property-Related Revenue

Other property-related revenue represents ancillary income from our self storage properties, such as tenant insurance-related access fees and sales of storage supplies. Other property-related revenue ~~decreased~~increased by $0.41 million, or 40.68%, for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, as compared to the three months ended ~~September~~March ~~30, 2023. This decrease primarily resulted from a decrease in tenant insurance revenue due to the disposition of properties during the three months ended December~~ 31, ~~2023 and nine months ended September 30,~~ 2024.

Management Fees and Other Revenue

Management fees and other revenue, which includes revenue related to managing and operating the unconsolidated real estate ventures and other revenue from our tenant insurance programs, increased $23.21 million, or 2333.07%, for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, as compared to the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024. This increase was primarily attributable to increased property management ~~and acquisition~~ fees resulting from the 2023 Joint Venture and the 2024 Joint Venture and ~~changes~~an increase in tenant insurance activity upon our acquisition of certain rights related to certain former PROs’ tenant insurance-related programs during the year ended December 31, 2024.

Property Operating Expenses

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses decreased by $2.05 million, or 1316.21%, for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, compared to the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024. This ~~decrease~~result was primarily attributable to a decrease in management fees following the internalization of the PRO structure from $5.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization ~~decreased~~increased $80.28 million, or 141.7%, for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, compared to the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024.

The ~~decrease~~increase in interest expense was primarily attributable to aan ~~decrease~~increase in the amount of debt subject to variable interest rates (excluding variable-rate debt subject to interest rate swaps) outstanding from $~~942~~138.0 million, as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024, to $~~186~~425.8 million as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025.

36Equity In Losses Of Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

~~Loss~~Equity in losses of unconsolidated real estate ventures represents our share of earnings and losses incurred through our 25% ownership interests in the 2024 Joint Venture, the 2023 Joint Venture, the 2018 Joint Venture and the 2016 Joint Venture. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recorded $5.7 million of equity in losses from our unconsolidated real estate ventures compared to $1.6 million of losses for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the non-cash impact of applying the hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") method to the 2024 Joint Venture, which allocates income (loss) based on ~~Early~~the ~~Extinguishment~~change in each owners' claim on net assets upon a hypothetical liquidation of ~~Debt~~the underlying joint venture at book value as of March 31, 2025.

~~Loss~~Acquisition onand ~~early~~Integration extinguishment of debt increased $0.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, in connection with the early repayment of Term Loan C, we expensed $0.3 million of unamortized debt issuance costs.Costs

This increase was primarily attributable to costs related to the internalization of the PRO structure.

Equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated real estate ventures represents our share of earnings and losses incurred through our ownership interests in the 2024 Joint Venture, 2023 Joint Venture, 2018 Joint Venture and the 2016 Joint Venture. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $4.7 million of equity in losses from our unconsolidated real estate ventures compared to $1.9 million of earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the non-cash impact of applying hypothetical liquidation at book value (HLBV) to the 2024 Joint Venture, which allocates income (loss) based on the change in each owners' claim on net assets upon a hypothetical liquidation of the underlying joint venture at book value as of September 30, 2024.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $11.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $13.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Total Revenue

Our total revenue, including management fees and other revenue, decreased by $62.4 million, or 9.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily attributable to (i) the sale of 32 self storage properties to a third party in the three months ended December 31, 2023, (ii) the contribution of 56 self storage properties to the 2024 Joint Venture in the three months ended March 31, 2024, and (iii) the sale of 40 self storage properties to third parties in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The decrease in total revenue was also attributable to a decrease in total portfolio average occupancy from 88.7% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 85.8% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Average occupancy is calculated based on the average of the month-end occupancy immediately preceding the period presented and the month-end occupancies included in the respective period presented.

Rental Revenue

Rental revenue decreased by $66.1 million, or 11.1%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in rental revenue was primarily attributable to (i) the sale of 32 self storage properties to a third party in the three months ended December 31, 2023, (ii) the contribution of 56 self storage properties to the 2024 Joint Venture in the three months ended March 31, 2024, and (iii) the sale of 40 self storage properties to third parties in the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Average annualized rental revenue per occupied square foot increased from $15.13, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to $15.64, or 3.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, driven primarily by increased contractual lease rates for in-place tenants.

Other Property-Related Revenue

Other property-related revenue represents ancillary income from our self storage properties, such as tenant insurance-related fees and sales of storage supplies. Other property-related revenue decreased by $1.5 million, or 6.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease primarily resulted from a decrease in tenant insurance revenue due to the disposition of properties during the three months ended December 31, 2023 and nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Management Fees and Other Revenue

Management fees and other revenue, which include revenue related to managing and operating the unconsolidated real estate ventures and other revenue from our tenant insurance programs, increased $5.2 million, or 20.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to increased property management and acquisition fees resulting from the 2023 Joint Venture and the 2024 Joint Venture and changes in our tenant insurance programs.

Property Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses decreased $12.6 million, or 7.3%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in property operating expenses was primarily attributable to (i) the sale of 32 self storage properties to a third party in the three months ended December 31, 2023, (ii) the contribution of 56 self storage properties to the 2024 Joint Venture in the three months ended March 31, 2024, and (iii) the sale of 40 self storage properties to third parties in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses increased $0.7 million, or 1.5%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in personnel costs and increased equity compensation expense resulting from the accelerated vesting of awards related to executive severance.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased $26.3 million, or 15.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease was primarily attributable to (i) the sale of 32 self storage properties to a third party in the three months ended December 31, 2023, (ii) the contribution of 56 self storage properties to the 2024 Joint Venture in the three months ended March 31, 2024, and (iii) the sale of 40 self storage properties to third parties in the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Other

Other expenses increased $2.0 million, or 23.2%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This increase was primarily attributable to increases in administrative costs relating to our tenant insurance programs.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased $5.8 million, or 4.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in interest expense was primarily attributable to a decrease in the amount of debt subject to variable interest rates (excluding variable-rate debt subject to interest rate swaps) outstanding from $942.0 million, as of September 30, 2023, to $186.8 million as of September 30, 2024.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

Loss on early extinguishment of debt decreased $0.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, in connection with the early repayment of Term Loan C, we expensed $0.3 million of unamortized debt issuance costs. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, in connection with an amendment to our credit facility, two of the lenders that were included in the syndicated group of lenders prior to the amendment are no longer participating lenders following the amendment, which constitutes an extinguishment of debt for accounting purposes. Additionally, in connection with the amendment we retired two term loans prior to their contractual maturity. Loss on early extinguishment of debt includes costs incurred related to these extinguishments, and the write off of $0.4 million of unamortized debt issuance costs related to the retired term loans or attributed to the entities no longer included in the lender syndicate.

Equity In (Losses) Earnings Of Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures

Equity in (losses) earnings of unconsolidated real estate ventures represents our share of earnings and losses incurred through our ownership interests in the 2024 Joint Venture, 2023 Joint Venture, 2018 Joint Venture and the 2016 Joint Venture. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded $10.8 million of equity in losses from our unconsolidated real estate ventures compared to $5.5 million of earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to the non-cash impact of applying HLBV to the 2024 Joint Venture, which allocates income (loss) based on the change in each owners' claim on net assets upon a hypothetical liquidation of the underlying joint venture at book value as of September 30, 2024.

Gain on Sale of Self Storage Properties

Gain on sale of self storage properties ~~increased~~was $631.84 million, for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, compared to $61.2 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024. The ~~increase in~~ gain on sale of self storage properties was primarily attributable to the sale of 40two self storage properties to third parties ~~and contribution of 56 self storage properties to the 2024 Joint Venture~~ during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, for net proceeds of $~~616~~9.8 million.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests was $626.35 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, compared to $4136.31 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to the decrease in net income driven by larger gains on the sale of self storage properties recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

FFO and Core FFO

Funds from operations, or FFO, is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of our operating performance. The December 2018 Nareit Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement defines FFO as net income (as determined under GAAP), excluding: real estate depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, gains and losses from change in control, mark-to-market changes in value recognized on equity securities, impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and impairment of investments in entities when it is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity, and after adjusting equity in earnings (losses) to reflect our share of FFO in unconsolidated real estate ventures. Distributions declared on subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units ~~represent~~represented our allocation of FFO to noncontrolling interests held by subordinated performance unitholders and DownREIT subordinated performance unitholders. For purposes of calculating FFO attributable to common shareholders, OP unitholders, and LTIP unitholders, we exclude distributions declared on ~~subordinated~~preferred ~~performance~~shares and preferred units, ~~DownREIT~~and, prior to the internalization of the PRO structure, subordinated performance units, ~~preferred~~and ~~shares~~DownREIT ~~and~~subordinated ~~preferred~~performance units. We define Core FFO as FFO, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. These further adjustments consist of acquisition costs, integration costs, executive severance costs, gains on debt forgiveness, gains (losses) on early extinguishment of debt, casualty-related expenses, losses, and related recoveries and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Management uses FFO and Core FFO as key performance indicators in evaluating the operations of our properties. Given the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we consider FFO and Core FFO as key supplemental measures of our operating performance that are not specifically defined by GAAP. We believe that FFO and Core FFO are useful to management and investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance because FFO and Core FFO exclude various items included in net income (loss) that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance such as gains (or losses) from sales of self storage properties and depreciation, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. Our computation of FFO and Core FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies.

FFO and Core FFO should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as total revenues, operating income and net income (loss). FFO and Core FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and are not a measure of liquidity or an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO and Core FFO should be compared with our reported net income (loss) and considered in addition to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our condensed consolidated financial statements.

(1)			Adjustment accounts for the difference between the weighted average number of shares used to calculate diluted earnings per share and the weighted average number of shares used to calculate FFO and Core FFO per share and unit. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the two-class method for the company's restricted common shares and the treasury stock method for certain unvested LTIP units, and assumes the conversion of vested LTIP units into OP units on a one-for-one basis and the hypothetical conversion of subordinated performance units, and DownREIT subordinated performance units into OP units, even though such units may have only been convertible into OP units (i) after a lock-out period and (ii) upon certain events or conditions. All outstanding subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units were converted into OP units on July 1, 2024, in connection with the internalization of the PRO structure. The computation of weighted average shares and units for FFO and Core FFO per share and unit includes all restricted common shares and LTIP units that participate in distributions and excludes all subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance units because their effect has been accounted for through the allocation of FFO to the related unitholders based on distributions declared.
(2)			Represents the effect of adjusting the numerator to consolidated net income (loss) prior to GAAP allocations for noncontrolling interests, after deducting preferred share and unit distributions, and before the application of the two-class method and treasury stock method, as described in ~~footnote(~~Note 1).

Net Operating Income

Net operating income, or NOI, represents rental revenue plus other property-related revenue less property operating expenses. NOI is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We believe NOI is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance because:

•NOI is one of the primary measures used by our management and our PROs to evaluate the economic productivity of our properties, including our ability to lease our properties, increase pricing and occupancy and control our property operating expenses;

•NOI is widely used in the real estate industry and the self storage industry to measure the performance and value of real estate assets without regard to various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, which can vary depending upon accounting methods, the book value of assets, and the impact of our capital structure; and

•We believe NOI helps our investors to meaningfully compare the results of our operating performance from period to period by removing the impact of our capital structure (primarily interest expense on our outstanding indebtedness) and depreciation of the cost basis of our assets from our operating results.

There are material limitations to using a non-GAAP measure such as NOI, including the difficulty associated with comparing results among more than one company and the inability to analyze certain significant items, including depreciation and interest expense, that directly affect our net income (loss). We compensate for these limitations by considering the economic effect of the excluded expense items independently as well as in connection with our analysis of net income (loss). NOI should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as total revenues and net income (loss).

Certain payroll and related costs associated with the former PRO portfolios were not reflected as property-level expenses in 2024 under the management of the former PROs. Such costs are reflected in property operating expenses in 2025 under our management. For purposes of comparable same store reporting, we have included the specific 2024 expense amounts for the same store portfolio in the relevant periods. This line item is presented in order to reconcile total property operating expenses to previously reported figures.

Rental Revenue

Same store portfolio rental revenues decreased $65.94 million, or 3.92%, for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, as compared to the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024. This decrease in same store portfolio rental revenue was driven primarily by a decrease in average occupancy from 8985.28% for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024 to 8683.39% for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025. ~~Annualized~~Average annualized same store ~~portfolio~~ rental revenue per occupied square ~~feet~~foot decreased from $15.8186 to $15.6770, or 01.90%, for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, driven primarily by decreased lease rates for new tenants.

Other Property-Related Revenue

Same store portfolio other property-related revenue increased by $0.53 million, or 74.23%, for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, as compared to the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024.

Property Operating Expenses

Same store portfolio property operating expenses increased $01.68 million, or 13.27%, for the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, as compared to the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024. The increase in same store property operating expenses was ~~primarily~~ a result of increases in ~~property~~marketing, ~~tax~~repairs and ~~insurance~~maintenance, and utilities expense, partially offset by decreases in personnel costs during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Rental Revenue

Same store portfolio rental revenues decreased $14.7 million, or 2.8%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. This decrease in same store portfolio rental revenue was driven primarily by a decrease in average occupancy from 89.4% for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 to 86.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. Average annualized same store rental revenue per occupied square foot increased from $15.61 to $15.72, or 0.7%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, driven primarily by increased contractual lease rates for in-place tenants.

Other Property-Related Revenue

Same store portfolio other property-related revenue increased by $0.6 million, or 3.0%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Property Operating Expenses

Same store portfolio property operating expenses increased $5.0 million, or 3.4%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The increase in same store property operating expenses was primarily a result of increases in marketing and insurance costs.

EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA

We define EBITDA as net income (loss), as determined under GAAP, plus interest expense, loss on early extinguishment of debt, income taxes, depreciation and amortization expense and the Company's share of unconsolidated real estate venture depreciation and amortization. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA plus acquisition costs, integration costs, executive severance costs, equity-based compensation expense, losses on sale of properties, impairment of long-lived assets and casualty-related expenses, losses and recoveries, minus gains on sale of properties and debt forgiveness, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, including the removal of the non-cash effect of applying ~~hypothetical liquidation at book value (~~HLBV) for purposes of allocating GAAP net income (loss) for the 2024 Joint Venture. These further adjustments eliminate the impact of items that we do not consider indicative of our core operating performance. In evaluating EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.

We present EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA because we believe they assist investors and analysts in comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations are:

•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements, for capital expenditures, contractual commitments or working capital needs;

•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;

•although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;

•Adjusted EBITDA excludes equity-based compensation expense, which is and will remain a key element of our overall long-term incentive compensation package, although we exclude it as an expense when evaluating our ongoing operating performance for a particular period;

•EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the impact of certain cash charges resulting from matters we consider not to be indicative of our ongoing operations; and

•other companies in our industry may calculate EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.

We compensate for these limitations by considering the economic effect of the excluded expense items independently as well as in connection with our analysis of net income (loss). EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as total revenues and net income (loss).

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity Overview

Liquidity is the ability to meet present and future financial obligations. Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from our operations. Additional sources are proceeds from dispositions of self storage properties (including contributions to our joint ventures), equity and debt offerings, debt financings including additional borrowing capacity under the credit facility, and expansion options available under the 2028 Term Loan Facility, the June 2029 Term Loan Facility, and our credit facility.

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of property operating expenses, property acquisitions, capital expenditures, general and administrative expenses and principal and interest on our outstanding indebtedness. A further short-term liquidity requirement relates to distributions to our common and preferred shareholders and holders of preferred units, OP units, LTIP units and DownREIT OP units. We expect to fund short-term liquidity requirements from our operating cash flow, cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facility.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of the repayment of debt, property acquisitions, and capital expenditures. We acquire properties through the use of cash, preferred units, and OP units in our operating partnership or DownREIT partnerships. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with operating cash flow, cash on hand, secured and unsecured indebtedness, and the issuance of equity and debt securities.

The availability of credit and its related effect on the overall economy may affect our liquidity and future financing activities, both through changes in interest rates and access to financing. In 2022 and 2023, the Federal Reserve Board increased interest rates from historically low levels, until pausing increases in August 2023 and decreasing rates in September 2024. Although the Federal Reserve Board has signaled an intention to continue to reduce interest rates in 2024, there is no assurance that this will occur or that the Federal Reserve Board will not maintain or raise interest rates in the future. Our ability to access capital on favorable terms as well as to use cash from operations to continue to meet our liquidity needs, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted, could be affected by various risks and uncertainties. We believe that, as a publicly-traded REIT, we will have access to multiple sources of capital to fund our long-term liquidity requirements, including the incurrence of additional debt and the issuance of debt and additional equity securities. However, we cannot assure you that this will be the case.

Cash Flows

At ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, we had $6919.93 million in cash and cash equivalents and $80.59 million of restricted cash, ana ~~increase~~decrease in cash and cash equivalents of $431.91 million and aan ~~decrease~~increase in restricted cash of $140.26 million from December 31, ~~2023~~2024. Restricted cash primarily consists of escrowed funds deposited with financial institutions ~~resulting from property sales~~ for ~~which we elected to purchase replacement property in accordance with Section 1031 of the Code, and for~~ real estate taxes, insurance, and other reserves for capital improvements in accordance with our loan agreements. The following discussion relates to changes in cash due to operating, investing, and financing activities, which are presented in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows included in Item 1 of this report.

Operating Activities

Cash provided by our operating activities was $~~282~~85.96 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 compared to $~~347~~94.60 million ~~for~~ the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023, a decrease of $64~~2024.7 ~~million.~~ Our operating cash flow decreased primarily due to a decrease in rental revenue, ~~partially~~primarily ~~offset by a decrease in property operating expenses~~ driven by ~~(i)~~ the ~~sale of 32 self storage properties to a third party in the three months ended December 31, 2023, (ii) the~~ contribution of 56 self storage properties to the 2024 Joint Venture ~~in the three months ended March 31, 2024,~~ and ~~(iii)~~ the sale of 4042 self storage properties to unaffiliated third parties inbetween ~~the~~January ~~nine~~1, ~~months~~2024 ~~ended~~and ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025.

Investing Activities

Cash ~~provided~~used byin investing activities was $~~470.~~9.7 million for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 compared to $75567.94 million of cash ~~used~~provided inby investing activities for the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2023~~2024. The primary ~~sources~~uses of cash for the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2024 were the $616.8 million of proceeds from the 56 self storage properties contributed to the 2024 Joint Venture in the~~ three months ended March 31, ~~2024,~~2025 ~~and~~was ~~the~~for ~~sale~~our acquisition of 40three self storage properties toand ~~third~~an ~~parties~~annex inand ~~the~~expenditures ~~nine~~for ~~months~~corporate ~~ended~~furniture ~~September~~and 30equipment, ~~2024,~~ partially offset by ~~our investment in~~ the ~~2023~~sale ~~and 2024 Joint Venture~~ of ~~$74.2~~two ~~million, $32.7 million in cash in connection with our acquisition of the PROs intangible assets related to the internalization of our PRO structure and our acquisition of three~~ self storage properties ~~for~~to ~~cash~~third ~~consideration of $25~~parties.~~1 million.~~

Capital expenditures totaled $135.07 million and $265.04 million during the ~~nine~~three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 and ~~2023~~2024, respectively. We generally fund post-acquisition capital additions from cash provided by operating activities.

We categorize our capital expenditures broadly into three primary categories:

Except as disclosed in the notes to our financial statements, as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, we did not have any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purposes entities, which typically are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. Further, except as disclosed in the notes to our financial statements, as of ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025, we have not guaranteed any obligations of unconsolidated entities, nor made any commitments to provide funding to any such entities, that creates any material exposure to any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk.

Seasonality

The self storage business is subject to minor seasonal fluctuations. A greater portion of revenues and profits are generally realized from May through September. Historically, our highest level of occupancy has typically been in July, while our lowest level of occupancy has typically been in February. Results for any quarter may not be indicative of the results that may be achieved for the full fiscal year.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market ~~Risk~~risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. Our future income, cash flows, and fair values of financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. The primary market risk to which we believe we are exposed is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond our control. We use interest rate swaps to moderate our exposure to interest rate risk by effectively converting the interest on variable rate debt to a fixed rate. We make limited use of other derivative financial instruments and we do not use them for trading or other speculative purposes.

~~Market~~As ~~risk~~of ~~refers~~March 31, to2025, ~~the~~we ~~risk~~had $425.8 million of ~~loss~~debt ~~from~~subject ~~adverse~~to ~~changes~~variable ininterest ~~market~~rates ~~prices~~(excluding ~~and~~variable-rate debt subject to interest ~~rates~~rate swaps). ~~Our~~If ~~future~~our ~~income,~~reference ~~cash~~rates ~~flows~~(SOFR) were to increase or decrease by 100 basis points, ~~and~~the ~~fair~~increase ~~values~~or ofdecrease ~~financial~~in ~~instruments~~interest ~~are~~expense ~~dependent~~on ~~upon~~the ~~prevailing~~variable-rate ~~market~~debt (excluding variable-rate debt subject to interest ~~rates~~rate swaps) would decrease or increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $4.3 million annually.

~~Interest Rate Risk~~42

The primary market risk to which we believe we are exposed is interest rate risk. Interest rate risk is highly sensitive to many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations, and other factors beyond our control. We use interest rate swaps to moderate our exposure to interest rate risk by effectively converting the interest on variable rate debt to a fixed rate. We make limited use of other derivative financial instruments and we do not use them for trading or other speculative purposes.

As of September 30, 2024, we had $186.8 million of debt subject to variable interest rates (excluding variable-rate debt subject to interest rate swaps). If our reference rates (SOFR) were to increase or decrease by 100 basis points, the increase or decrease in interest expense on the variable-rate debt (excluding variable-rate debt subject to interest rate swaps) would decrease or increase future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.9 million annually.

Interest rate risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

The Company's management, with the participation of the Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company's disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that the Company's disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report, are effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended ~~September~~March 3031, ~~2024~~2025 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute assurance that it will detect or uncover failures within the Company to disclose material information otherwise required to be set forth in our periodic reports.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We are not currently subject to any legal proceedings that we consider to be material.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2023~~2024 (the "2024 Form 10-K") filed with the SEC under the heading Item 1A. "Risk Factors" beginning on page 1712, which is accessible on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov.

With the exception of the risk factor set forth below, which updates and supplements the risk factors disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2024 Form 10-K.

Recent tariff actions by the U.S and other countries may have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The current U.S. administration has recently implemented tariffs on imports from a broad set of countries, including Canada, Mexico, European Union member states, Japan and China creating significant uncertainty about the future relationship between the United States and other countries with respect to these tariffs. In response to these tariffs, global trading partners have or are likely to impose their own tariffs. These developments, or the perception that any of them could occur, have resulted in significant financial market volatility and may continue to have a material adverse effect on global economic conditions and the stability of global financial markets, and may significantly reduce global trade and, in particular, trade between the impacted nations and the United States. Further effects of these tariffs cannot be predicted with certainty. Continued uncertainty surrounding trade policies and the potential for further tariff increases or the imposition of new tariffs may lead to a continuation or worsening of the impact of the tariffs on the financial markets. These trade actions and the widespread uncertainty and international tensions resulting therefrom may have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, ability to access capital, and financial condition and on the market price of our common stock.
