Sovran Self Storage Reports Third Quarter Results; Adjusted FFO per Share Increases 12.8%, Acquired Eleven Properties
BUFFALO, N.Y.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Sovran Self Storage, Inc. (NYSE:SSS), a self
storage real estate investment trust (REIT), reported operating
results for the quarter ended September 30, 2015.
Third Quarter 2015 Highlights:
-
Achieved adjusted funds from operations (“FFO”) per fully diluted
common share of $1.32, representing a 12.8% increase over the same
period last year. -
Increased same store revenue by 6.5% and net operating income (“NOI”)
by 8.4% as compared to the third quarter of 2014. -
Grew same store average occupancy for the quarter by 80 basis points
to 92.0% compared to the same period in 2014. Same store occupancy at
September 30, 2015, was 91.4%; a full 100 basis points over September
30, 2014. - Attained a record high occupancy of 93.1% during the month of July.
- Acquired eleven self storage facilities for approximately $66 million.
- Paid a quarterly dividend of $0.85 per share of common stock.
Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of
2015 was $31.5 million or $0.88 per fully diluted common share. For the
same period in 2014, net income available to common shareholders was
$25.6 million or $0.77 per fully diluted common share.
Funds from operations (FFO) for the quarter were $1.29 per fully diluted
common share compared to $1.12 for the same period last year. Absent
$1.0 million of acquisition costs incurred in the third quarter of 2015
and $1.7 million of acquisition costs and straight-line rent adjustments
in the third quarter of 2014, adjusted FFO per share was $1.32 and $1.17
for the third quarter of 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Increased occupancy and rental rates were the primary contributors to
the Company’s strong FFO growth during the quarter.
OPERATIONS:
Total revenues increased 11.9% over last year’s third quarter while
operating costs increased 9.6%, resulting in an NOI (4)
increase of 13.1%. Overall occupancy averaged 91.5% for the period, and
rental rates averaged $12.79 per sq. ft.
Revenues for the 399 stores wholly owned by the Company since January 1,
2014 increased 6.5% from those of the third quarter of 2014, the result
of an 80 basis point increase in average occupancy, a 5.1% increase in
rental rates, increases in tenant insurance administrative fees, and
other income.
Same store operating expenses increased 2.6% for the third quarter of
2015 compared to the prior year period, primarily the result of
increased personnel costs, real estate taxes and internet marketing
expenses.
Consequently, same store net operating income increased 8.4% this period
over the third quarter of 2014.
General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $0.7
million over the same period in 2014, primarily due to increases in
personnel costs associated with operating 36 more stores during the
quarter than at this time last year, legal fees and income taxes on its
taxable REIT subsidiary. Beginning with the first quarter of 2015, the
company reclassified internet marketing costs from general and
administrative expenses to property operations expense for all periods
presented so as to be consistent with industry practices.
During the third quarter of 2015, the Company experienced same store
revenue growth in 23 of the 24 states in the same store pool. Overall,
the stores with the strongest revenue impact include those in Texas,
Florida,
New
York and Georgia.
PROPERTIES:
During the quarter, the Company acquired eleven storage facilities at a
cost of approximately $66 million. Seven of the stores are in
established Company markets in North and South Carolina. The other four
are in Syracuse, NY where the Company now operates a total of eight
stores.
At September 30, 2015, the Company was in contract to acquire an
additional nine stores for total consideration of $67 million. These
pending acquisitions are subject to further due diligence and closing
conditions; therefore no assurance can be given that these properties
will be purchased according to the terms described.
CAPITAL TRANSACTIONS:
Illustrated below are key financial ratios at September 30, 2015:
- Debt to Enterprise Value (at $94.30/share) 20.2%
- Debt to Book Cost of Storage Facilities 35.0%
- Debt to EBITDA Ratio 3.9x
- Debt Service Coverage 6.1x
At September 30, 2015, the Company had approximately $6.1 million of
cash on hand, and $186 million available on its line of credit.
During the quarter, the Company issued 300,211 shares pursuant to its
“At The Market” (ATM) program at an average price of $96.13 per share.
The net proceeds of $28.5 million were used to acquire the
aforementioned properties. In July, the Company issued 32,690 shares at
a price of $90.60 through its Dividend Reinvestment Plan.
COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND:
Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a
quarterly dividend of $0.85 per share or $3.40 annualized.
YEAR 2015 EARNINGS GUIDANCE:
Management is encouraged by its occupancy gains and its ability to
attain significant rental rate growth in most markets. The following
assumptions covering operations have been utilized in formulating
guidance for the fourth quarter and full year 2015:
| Same Store | |||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Projected Increases Over 2014 |

| Total Operating Expenses | 5.0 – 6.0% | 3.0 – 4.0% | |||||||||||||||||||||
| Net Operating Income | 6.5 – 7.5% | 7.0 – 8.0% | |||||||||||||||||||||
*The Company recorded a significant reduction in property tax expense in
4Q 2014 as a result of several successful protests. Such benefits are
not expected in 2015, and as a result, the estimated property tax
increase for 4Q, while expected, appears unusual.
The Houston market comprises approximately 11% of the 2015 forecasted
NOI of the Company’s 453 wholly owned stores, and is expected to perform
at least as well as the overall portfolio. Forecasts for the 40 same
store pool of properties in the Company’s Houston market include revenue
growth of 6.0% – 6.5%, operating expense increases of 3.0% – 4.0%
(inclusive of a 5% projected increase in property taxes), and NOI growth
of between 7.0% and 8.0%.
The Company intends to spend up to $25 million on its expansion and
enhancement program. It has also budgeted $19 million to provide for
recurring capitalized expenditures including roofing, paving, and office
renovations.
The Company has assumed no impact from acquisitions for the remainder of
2015. Approximately $275 million of acquisitions have been completed
through September 30, 2015. Per share adjusted FFO guidance is projected
after adding back third party acquisition costs. Any purchases of
additional properties are expected to be funded via proceeds from the
Company’s ATM program and draws on its line of credit which carries an
interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.30%.
Annual general and administrative expenses, excluding internet marketing
costs, are expected to be approximately $38 million. The increase over
the prior year is primarily due to the need for additional personnel
required for recent acquisitions, income taxes on its taxable REIT
subsidiaries, and the Company’s plans to continue expanding its
Corporate Alliance and third party management programs.
At September 30, 2015, the Company had 36.2 million shares of common
stock outstanding and 0.2 million Operating Partnership Units
outstanding.
As a result of the above assumptions, management expects adjusted funds
from operations for the full year 2015 to be approximately $4.91 to
$4.93 per share, and between $1.26 and $1.28 per share for the fourth
quarter of 2015.
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:
When used within this news release, the words “intends,” “believes,”
“expects,” “anticipates,” and similar expressions are intended to
identify “forward looking statements” within the meaning of that term in
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and in Section 21E of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Such forward-looking statements involve
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which may
cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to
be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward
looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, the
effect of competition from new self storage facilities, which could
cause rents and occupancy rates to decline; the Company’s ability to
evaluate, finance and integrate acquired businesses into the Company’s
existing business and operations; the Company’s existing indebtedness
may mature in an unfavorable credit environment, preventing refinancing
or forcing refinancing of the indebtedness on terms that are not as
favorable as the existing terms; interest rates may fluctuate, impacting
costs associated with the Company’s outstanding floating rate debt; the
Company’s ability to comply with debt covenants; the future ratings on
the Company’s debt instruments; the regional concentration of the
Company’s business may subject it to economic downturns in the states of
Florida and Texas; the Company’s ability to effectively compete in the
industries in which it does business; the Company’s reliance on its call
center; the Company’s cash flow may be insufficient to meet required
payments of principal, interest and dividends; and tax law changes which
may change the taxability of future income.

|
(2) We believe that Funds from Operations (“FFO”) provides relevant and meaningful information about our operating performance that is necessary, along with net earnings and cash flows, for an understanding of our operating results. FFO adds back historical cost depreciation, which assumes the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably in the future. In fact, real estate asset values increase or decrease with market conditions. Consequently, we believe FFO is a useful supplemental measure in evaluating our operating performance by disregarding (or adding back) historical cost depreciation. |
|
|
Funds from operations is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”) as net income available to common shareholders computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses on sales of properties, plus impairment of real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments to record unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income and cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements. |
|
|
Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, or as an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions. |

(4) Net operating income or “NOI” is a non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) financial measure that we define as total continuing revenues less continuing property operating expenses. NOI also can be calculated by adding back to net income: interest expense, impairment and casualty losses, depreciation and amortization expense, acquisition related costs, general and administrative expense, and deducting from net income: income from discontinued operations, interest income, gain on sale of real estate, and equity in income of joint ventures. We believe that NOI is a meaningful measure of operating performance, because we utilize NOI in making decisions with respect to capital allocations, in determining current property values, and comparing period-to-period and market-to-market property operating results. NOI should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP, such as total revenues, operating income and net income. |
