Company Objective
The objective of the company is to increase value over time for the benefit of its stockholders. Toward this end, the company will continue to execute its strategic business plan, which includes funding acquisitions, either directly or through joint ventures, and expansion projects at its existing properties. Its board of directors regularly reviews the company’s strategic business plan, including topics and metrices like capital formation, debt versus equity ratios, dividend policy, use of capital and debt, FFO and AFFO performance, and optimal cash levels.
The management of Global Self Storage believes that the company’s continued operational performance and capital resources position it well to continue to pursue its strategic business plan.
Management Commentary
“We generated topline revenue that was a record for a second quarter and an overall record for the first half of the year despite a more competitive pricing landscape,” commented Global Self Storage president and CEO, Mark C. Winmill. “We achieved this despite the return to normalcy in demand post-pandemic and against the year-over-year comparable of peak demand that was largely driven by pandemic-related relocations.
“We also achieved record same-store revenue and NOI in the first half of 2023, despite the expected industry-wide deceleration in same-store revenue growth. We believe this reflects how our operational performance was bolstered by effective internet and digital marketing initiatives that contributed to maintaining overall average same-store occupancy at around 90% by the end of the quarter. These efforts have recently yielded even better results, with our same-store occupancy increasing to 91.9% at the end of July.
“We believe our commitment to exceptional customer service has continued to foster strong brand loyalty and enthusiastic word-of-mouth referrals. Combined with our unique marketing strategies, this has allowed us to attract high-quality tenants who will store with us for longer than the industry average. In fact, our same-store average tenant duration of stay at the end of the second quarter was a peer-leading 3.3 years.
“After the exceptional year of industry-wide growth in 2022, we expect the rest of the year to reflect pre-pandemic demand patterns as same-store revenue growth continues to slow across the industry. This means a more competitive pricing landscape, including move-in rate pricing pressures and additional measured marketing spend to attract tenants, with our overall spending continuing to be impacted by inflation-related factors.
“However, we are not alone in these challenges and see these market conditions creating new opportunities for favorable acquisitions and joint ventures. Encouraged by our strong balance sheet, we are actively evaluating a number of potential self-storage property acquisitions that are located in secondary and tertiary markets in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Midwest, and South Central regions of the U.S. We see these markets having lower supply growth and generally less competition from other professionally managed self-storage operators.
“As we proceed through the second half of the year, we expect to benefit from the seasonally strong months for self-storage. We also remain confident that our strategy of providing a convenient, clean, secure, and hassle-free customer experience will continue to attract high-quality tenants to our premium self-storage platform, with this ultimately delivering favorable returns to our stockholders."
Q2 2023 Financial Summary
Total revenues increased 3.6% to $3.1 million in the second quarter of 2023, as compared to $3.0 million in the same period last year. This increase was due primarily to an increase in rental rates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and FFO per share are non-GAAP measures defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and are considered helpful measures of REIT performance by REITs and many REIT analysts. NAREIT defines FFO as a REIT’s net income, excluding gains or losses from sales of property, and adding back real estate depreciation and amortization. The Company also excludes unrealized gains on marketable equity securities and gains relating to PPP loan forgiveness. FFO and FFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. FFO is not a substitute for GAAP net
cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because it excludes financing activities presented on our statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITs may compute these measures differently, so comparisons among REITs may not be helpful. However, the Company believes that to further understand the performance of its stores, FFO should be considered along with the net income and cash flows reported in accordance with GAAP and as presented in the Company’s financial statements.
Adjusted FFO (“AFFO”) and AFFO per share are non-GAAP measures that represent FFO and FFO per share excluding the effects of stock-based compensation, business development, capital raising, and acquisition related costs and non-recurring items, which we believe are not indicative of the Company’s operating results. AFFO and AFFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. AFFO is not a substitute for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because it excludes financing activities presented on our statements of cash flows. We present AFFO because we believe it is a helpful measure in understanding our results of operations insofar as we believe that the items noted above that are included in FFO, but excluded from AFFO, are not indicative of our ongoing operating results. We also believe that the analyst community considers our AFFO (or similar measures using different terminology) when evaluating us. Because other REITs or real estate companies may not compute AFFO in the same manner as we do, and may use different terminology, our computation of AFFO may not be comparable to AFFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies. However, the Company believes that to further understand the performance of its stores, AFFO should be considered along with the net income and cash flows reported in accordance with GAAP and as presented in the Company’s financial statements.
We believe net operating income or “NOI” is a meaningful measure of operating performance because we utilize NOI in making decisions with respect to, among other things, capital allocations, determining current store values, evaluating store performance, and in comparing period-to-period and market-to-market store operating results. In addition, we believe the investment community utilizes NOI in determining operating performance and real estate values and does not consider depreciation expense because it is based upon historical cost. NOI is defined as net store earnings before general and administrative expenses, interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization.
NOI is not a substitute for net income, net operating cash flow, or other related GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results.
Same-Store Self Storage Operations Definition
We consider our same-store portfolio to consist of only those stores owned and operated on a stabilized basis at the beginning and at the end of the applicable periods presented. We consider a store to be stabilized once it has achieved an occupancy rate that we believe, based on our assessment of market-specific data, is representative of similar self storage assets in the applicable market for a full year measured as of the most recent January 1 and has not been significantly damaged by natural disaster or undergone significant renovation or expansion. We believe that same-store results are useful to investors in evaluating our performance because they provide information relating to changes in store-level operating performance without taking into account the effects of acquisitions, dispositions, or new ground-up developments. At June 30, 2023, we owned twelve same-store properties and zero non same-store properties. The Company believes that by providing same-store results from a stabilized pool of stores, with accompanying operating metrics including, but not limited to, variances in occupancy, rental revenue, operating expenses, NOI, etc., stockholders and potential investors are able to evaluate operating performance without the effects of non-stabilized occupancy levels, rent levels, expense levels, acquisitions, or completed developments. Same-store results should not be used as a basis for future same-store performance or for the performance of the Company’s stores as a whole.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward Looking Statements

Forward looking statements include statements concerning the company’s plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events, future revenues or performance, capital expenditures, financing needs, plans or intentions, and other information that is not historical information. In some cases, forward looking statements can be identified by terminology such as “believes,” “plans,” “intends,” “expects,” “estimates,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “anticipates,” or the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology, or by discussions of strategy. All forward-looking statements by the company involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of the company, which may cause the company’s actual results to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such statements. The company may also make additional forward looking statements from time to time. All such subsequent forward-looking statements, whether written or oral, by the company or on its behalf, are also expressly qualified by these cautionary statements. Investors should carefully consider the risks, uncertainties, and other factors, together with all of the other information included in the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and similar information. All forward-looking statements, including without limitation, the company’s examination of historical operating trends and estimates of future earnings, are based upon the company’s current expectations and various assumptions. The company’s expectations, beliefs and projections are expressed in good faith, but there can be no assurance that the company’s expectations, beliefs and projections will result or be achieved. All forward looking statements apply only as of the date made. The company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise forward looking statements which may be made to reflect events or circumstances after the date made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
