Analysis · PSA · Real Estate & Construction
Management lifted full-year Core FFO guidance by $0.10 at the midpoint to $16.90-$17.10, and the quarter's Core FFO per share of $4.34 edged past last year's $4.31 and the $4.17 posted in Q2. Same Store NOI guidance moved up 90bps, with the range now (0.8)% to 0.2% versus (2.0)% to (0.3)% before. GAAP net income fell 35.5% to $1.69 per share, but that drop reflects $114.6M of transaction and integration expense tied to closing the National Storage Affiliates and PS Canada deals, not operations. Those acquisitions added over 1,100 stores, and management targets $110M-$130M of run-rate synergies within three to four years. Funding is largely done: $6.2B of debt and $6.0B of equity/unit issuance year-to-date, including ATM forward sales of 1.23M shares at $326.51 for about $399M. The next checkpoint is the October 27 conference call.
