SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. Reports Strong Third Quarter 2021 Results With Best in Class Same-Store Revenue & NOI Growth

LADERA RANCH, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (“SmartStop”), a self-managed and fully-integrated self storage company, announced its overall results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021.

This was a truly exciting quarter for SmartStop. We posted year-over-year same-store revenue and NOI growth of 19.4% and 28.1% for the quarter, respectively, both higher than all of our publicly-traded peers,” said H. Michael Schwartz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SmartStop. “Gross margins on our same-store pool improved to 71.4%, a year-over-year increase of 480 basis points, and the highest in our Company’s history. Our exceptional property performance, coupled with our disciplined investment strategy, led to year-over-year growth of FFO, as adjusted per share of approximately 125% in the quarter. With ample attractively priced capital, a strong balance sheet and a robust operating environment, we believe SmartStop is well positioned to continue executing our growth initiatives, driving stockholder value in 2021 and beyond.”

External Growth

In August, the Company opened a newly constructed four story self storage facility in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada in partnership with SmartCentres (TSX: SRU.UN). This facility serves the communities of Vanier, Mclaughlin, Whitby, Eastdale, Stevenson, and Farewell and is conveniently located adjacent to the SmartCentres Oshawa South shopping center, the Walmart Supercenter and Lowe’s Home Improvement. The property’s 950 units are 100% climate-controlled across approximately 95,000 square feet. This is SmartStop’s 18th owned or managed location in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company acquired a self storage facility in Lakewood, CO. The facility serves the communities of Green Mountain, Foothills, Briarwood Hills, West Lochwood and Chateau Ridge Estates. The property’s 770 units span across approximately 87,000 square feet. The property offers customers a variety of amenities including a gated drive-in loading area, state-of-the-art security systems, keypad access and large truck accessibility. This is SmartStop’s seventh owned or managed location in the Denver market.

Capital Markets Activity

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company exercised $200 million of its accordion (the “Accordion”) under its existing multi-currency credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with a syndicate of banks led by KeyBank National Association, Wells Fargo, N.A., Citibank, N.A. and Bank of Montreal. The increased commitment was entirely on the revolving portion of the Credit Facility (the “Revolver”). The Credit Facility now consists of a $450 million Revolver and a $250 million term loan (the “Term Loan”) for a total commitment of $700 million. The Accordion was also amended to permit expansion up to $1.05 billion, subject to certain conditions. The other terms and conditions of the Credit Facility remain unchanged.

Net Asset Value

Subsequent to quarter end, the Company announced that its board of directors has declared an updated estimated Net Asset Value (“NAV”) per share of $15.08 for its Class A and Class T shares, as of June 30, 2021. SmartStop’s previous estimated NAV per share was $10.40 as of December 31, 2019. Please see SmartStop’s Form 8-K filed on October 20, 2021 for a description of the methodologies and assumptions used to determine, and the limitations of, the estimated NAV per share.

Declared Distributions

On September 23, 2021, SmartStop’s board of directors declared a distribution rate for the fourth quarter of 2021, of approximately $0.00164 per day per share on the outstanding shares of common stock payable to both Class A and Class T stockholders. In connection with these distributions, after the stockholder servicing fee is paid, approximately $0.0014 per day will be paid per Class T share. Such distributions payable to each stockholder of record during a month will be paid the following month.

(1)

These items represent the amortization, accretion, or adjustment of intangible assets or deferred tax liabilities. As these items are non-cash and not primary drivers in SmartStop’s decision-making process, FFO is adjusted for their effect to arrive at FFO, as adjusted, as a means of determining a comparable sustainable operating performance metric to other real estate companies.

(2)

In evaluating investments in real estate, SmartStop differentiates the costs to acquire the investment from the operations derived from the investment. Such information would be comparable only for publicly registered, non-traded REITs that have generally completed their acquisition activity and have other similar operating characteristics.

(3)

The contingent earnout adjustment represents the adjustment to the fair value of the Class A-2 Units issued in connection with the Self Administration Transaction. FFO is adjusted to arrive at FFO, as adjusted, as this acquisition related item is not a primary driver in SmartStop’s decision-making process and excluding this provides investors a view of SmartStop’s continuing operating portfolio performance over time.

(4)

The impairment charges relate to SmartStop’s goodwill, intangible assets and investments in the Managed REIT Platform acquired in the Self Administration Transaction. SmartStop believes that adjusting for such non-recurring items provides useful supplemental information because such expenses may not be reflective of on-going operations and is consistent with management’s analysis of SmartStop’s operating performance and provides for a means of determining a comparable sustainable operating performance metric.

(5)

This represents the difference between the stated interest rate and the estimated market interest rate on assumed notes as of the date of acquisition. Such amounts have been excluded from FFO, as adjusted, because SmartStop believes FFO, as adjusted, provides useful supplementary information by focusing on operating fundamentals, rather than events not related to SmartStop’s normal operations. SmartStop is responsible for managing interest rate risk and do not rely on another party to manage such risk.

(6)

The net loss associated with the extinguishment of debt includes prepayment penalties, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, and other fees incurred. SmartStop believes that adjusting for such non-recurring items provides useful supplemental information because such losses may not be reflective of on-going transactions and operations and is consistent with management’s analysis of SmartStop’s operating performance.

(7)

This represents the mark-to-market adjustment for SmartStop’s derivative instruments not designated for hedge accounting and the ineffective portion of the change in fair value of derivatives recognized in earnings, as well as changes in foreign currency related to SmartStop’s foreign equity investments not classified as long term. These derivative contracts are intended to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate and foreign currency risk which may not be reflective of SmartStop’s ongoing performance and may reflect unrealized impacts on SmartStop’s operating performance. Such amounts are recorded in “Other” within SmartStop’s consolidated statements of operations.

COMPUTATION OF SAME-STORE OPERATING RESULTS

(Unaudited)

The following table sets forth operating data for SmartStop’s same-store facilities (those properties included in the consolidated results of operations since January 1, 2020, excluding nine lease-up properties SmartStop owned as of January 1, 2020) for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. SmartStop considers the following data to be meaningful as this allows for the comparison of results without the effects of acquisition, lease up, or development activity.

Revenue includes rental revenue, Tenant Programs revenue, ancillary revenue, and administrative and late fees.

Property operating expenses excludes corporate general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation, amortization expense, and acquisition expenses.

(3)

 

Of the total rentable square feet, parking represented approximately 940,000 square feet and 680,000 square feet as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. On a same-store basis, for the same periods, parking represented approximately 680,000 square feet.

(4)

 

Determined by dividing the sum of the month-end occupied square feet for the applicable group of facilities for each applicable period by the sum of their month-end rentable square feet for the period.

(5)

 

Determined by dividing the aggregate realized rental income for each applicable period by the aggregate of the month-end occupied square feet for the period. Properties are included in the respective calculations in their first full month of operations, as appropriate. SmartStop has excluded the realized rental revenue and occupied square feet related to parking herein for the purpose of calculating annualized rent per occupied square foot.

SmartStop’s same-store revenue increased by approximately $5.1 million or approximately 19% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020 primarily due to higher annualized rent per occupied square foot as well as increased occupancy.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income (loss) as presented on SmartStop’s consolidated statements of operations to net operating income, as stated above, for the periods indicated:
