SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results
LADERA RANCH, CA – November 14, 2023 – SmartStop Self Storage REIT, Inc. (“SmartStop” or “the Company”), a self-managed and fully-integrated self storage company, announced its overall results for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023.
“Our third quarter results reflect the geographic and demographic quality of our diversified North American portfolio, which produced sector leading same-store revenue and NOI growth,” said H. Michael Schwartz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SmartStop. “While the U.S. self storage industry is experiencing the most competitive environment since the beginning of the pandemic, our portfolio of 33 owned or managed assets in Canada is not facing the same pressures. In fact, of all of our major markets, Toronto was our best performing market. With the normalization of pandemic-related demand drivers, a continued slowdown in the housing market and volatile macro-economic conditions, SmartStop is focused on maximizing net operating income, controlling costs, and providing best-in-class customer service. Notably, during the quarter we received the top score among self-storage centers in Newsweek’s America's Best Customer Service 2024. This marks the third time SmartStop has earned the top spot among self-storage providers and reflects our unwavering commitment to customer service. With our resilient performance, best-in-class operating platform and the experienced SmartStop team, we are confident in our ability to deliver for our stockholders in 2024 and beyond.”

SmartStop, through an indirect subsidiary, serves as the sponsor of Strategic Storage Growth Trust III, Inc. (“SSGT III”) and Strategic Storage Trust VI, Inc.

During the quarter, assets under management for the Managed REITs increased by $2.1 million to approximately $700.7 million.

(1) This gain relates to the mark up in fair value of our preexisting equity interests in SSGT II as a result of our acquisition of control in the SSGT II Merger.
(2) This represents the portion of the above stated adjustments in the calculations of FFO and FFO, as adjusted, that are attributable to our noncontrolling interests.
(3) These items represent the amortization, accretion, or adjustment of intangible assets or deferred tax assets and liabilities.
5
(4) This represents acquisition expenses associated with investments in real estate that were incurred prior to the acquisitions becoming probable and therefore not capitalized in accordance with our capitalization policy.
(5) The contingent earnout adjustment represents the adjustment to the fair value during the period of the Class A-2 Units issued in connection with the self administration transaction.
(6) The net loss associated with the extinguishment of debt includes prepayment penalties, defeasance costs, the write-off of unamortized deferred financing fees, and other fees incurred.
(7) This represents the mark-to-market adjustment for our 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 our foreign equity investments not classified as long term.
(8) Such costs relate to our filing of an S-11 registration statement and our pursuit of a potential offering of our common stock. As this item is non-recurring and not a primary driver in our decision-making process, FFO is adjusted for its effect to arrive at FFO, as adjusted, as a means of determining a comparable sustainable operating performance metric.

The outstanding convertible preferred stock was excluded as the conversion of such shares was antidilutive to FFO and FFO, as adjusted. This excludes Class A-2 OP Units for the period prior to their conversion into Class A-1 OP Units, which was contingent on growth in assets under management or other contingent events.

(1) Revenue includes rental revenue, certain ancillary revenue, administrative and late fees, and excludes Tenant Protection Program revenue.
(2) 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 1,017,000 square feet as of September 30, 2023 and 2022. On a same-store basis, for the same periods, parking represented approximately 940,000 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.
(6) The San Gabriel Property was excluded from these statistics, as it only began formal operations in October of 2023.
SmartStop’s same-store revenue increased by approximately $1.4 million, or approximately 3.0%, for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to higher annualized rent per occupied square foot of approximately 5.1%, partially offset by an approximately 1.4% decrease in average occupancy. The increase in property operating expenses is primarily attributable to compensation related expenses, property insurance, and property tax.

SMARTSTOP SELF STORAGE REIT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
COMPUTATION OF SAME-STORE OPERATING RESULTS
(Unaudited)
Same-Store Facility Results - nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022
The following table sets forth operating data for SmartStop’s same-store facilities (stabilized and comparable properties that have been included in the consolidated results of operations since January 1, 2022, excluding two other properties) for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. 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.

N/M Not meaningful
(1) Revenue includes rental revenue, certain ancillary revenue, administrative and late fees, and excludes Tenant Protection Program revenue.
(2) 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 1,017,000 square feet as of September 30, 2023 and 2022. On a same-store basis, for the same periods, parking represented approximately 940,000 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.
(6) Our San Gabriel Property was excluded from these statistics, as it only began formal operations in October of 2023.
SmartStop’s same-store revenue increased by approximately $7.4 million, or approximately 5.6%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to higher annualized rent per occupied square foot of approximately 8.2%, partially offset by an approximately 1.8% decrease in average occupancy. The increase in property operating expenses is primarily attributable to compensation related expenses, property insurance, and property tax.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING NOI, FFO, and FFO, as adjusted
Net Operating Income (“NOI”)
NOI is a non-GAAP measure that SmartStop defines as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, generated from properties, excluding tenant protection plan revenue, before corporate general and administrative expenses, asset management fees, interest expense, depreciation, amortization, acquisition expenses and other non-property related expenses. SmartStop believes that NOI is useful for investors as it provides a measure of the operating performance of its operating assets because NOI excludes certain items that are not associated with the ongoing operation of the properties. Additionally, SmartStop believes that NOI is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate community. However, SmartStop’s use of the term NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount.
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and FFO, as Adjusted
Funds from Operations
Funds from operations ("FFO"), is a non-GAAP financial metric promulgated by NAREIT that SmartStop believes is an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect operating performance. SmartStop defines FFO consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, or the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property and real estate related asset impairment write downs, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Additionally, gains and losses from change in control are excluded from the determination of FFO. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. SmartStop’s FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.
FFO, as Adjusted
SmartStop uses FFO, as adjusted, as an additional non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate their operating performance. FFO, as adjusted, provides investors with supplemental performance information that is consistent with the performance models and analysis used by management. In addition, FFO, as adjusted, is a measure used among SmartStop’s peer group, which includes publicly traded REITs. Further, SmartStop believes FFO, as adjusted, is useful in comparing the sustainability of their operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies.
In determining FFO, as adjusted, SmartStop makes further adjustments to the NAREIT computation of FFO to exclude the effects of non-real estate related asset impairments and intangible amortization, acquisition related costs, other write-offs incurred in connection with acquisitions, contingent earnout expenses, accretion of fair value of debt adjustments, gains or losses from extinguishment of debt, adjustments of deferred tax assets and liabilities, realized and unrealized gains/losses on foreign exchange transactions, and gains/losses on foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives not designated for hedge accounting, which SmartStop believes are not indicative of their overall long-term operating performance. SmartStop excludes these items from GAAP net income (loss) to arrive at FFO, as adjusted, as they are not the primary drivers in their decision-making process and excluding these items provides investors a view of their continuing operating portfolio performance over time, which in any respective period may experience fluctuations in such acquisition, merger or other similar activities that are not of a long-term operating performance nature. FFO, as adjusted, also reflects adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and jointly owned investments. SmartStop uses FFO, as adjusted, as one measure of their operating performance when they formulate corporate goals and evaluate the effectiveness of their strategies.
Presentation of FFO and FFO, as adjusted, is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs. However, not all REITs calculate FFO and FFO, as adjusted, the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and FFO, as adjusted, are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations as an indication of SmartStop’s liquidity or indicative of funds available to fund their cash needs including their ability to make distributions to their stockholders. FFO and FFO, as adjusted, should be reviewed in conjunction with other measurements as an indication of our performance.
Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that SmartStop uses to calculate FFO or FFO, as adjusted. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may
12
decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the publicly registered, non-traded REIT industry and SmartStop would have to adjust its calculation and characterization of FFO or FFO, as adjusted.
This press release, our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, our form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, a financial supplement, and additional information about SmartStop are available on our website, investors.smartstopselfstorage.com.
