Analysis · PSA · Real Estate & Construction
The headline numbers were already out this afternoon, but the 10-Q shows what sits underneath them: GAAP earnings fell because of $114.6M of NSA and PS Canada transaction and integration expense and a $122.3M jump in depreciation from the acquired portfolio, not because the storage business deteriorated. Same-store revenue rose just 0.5% and same-store NOI was flat at $768.8M, so the growth is coming from acquisitions — the balance sheet has expanded to $29.0B in total assets from $20.2B at year-end, with notes payable up to $12.0B and $200M of commercial paper drawn. That leverage, plus $399.2M of unsettled ATM forward sales at a $326.51 average price, is the dilution and refinancing picture investors are actually underwriting.
