(Unaudited)


1.Description of the Business
Public Storage (referred to herein as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), was organized in 1980. Our principal business activities include the ownership and operation of self-storage facilities that offer storage spaces for lease, generally on a month-to-month basis, for personal and business use, ancillary activities such as tenant reinsurance, merchandise sales, and third party management, as well as the acquisition and development of additional self-storage space.
At March 31, 2022, we have direct and indirect equity interests in 2,797 self-storage facilities (with approximately 199.1 million net rentable square feet) located in 39 states in the United States (“U.S.”) operating under the Public Storage® name, and 0.9 million net rentable square feet of commercial and retail space.
We own an approximate 35% common equity interest in Shurgard Self Storage SA (“Shurgard”), a public company traded on Euronext Brussels under the “SHUR” symbol, which owns 254 self-storage facilities (with approximately 14 million net rentable square feet) located in seven Western European countries, all operating under the Shurgard® name. We also own an approximate 41% common equity interest in PS Business Parks, Inc. (“PSB”), a REIT traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the “PSB” symbol, which owns 27 million net rentable square feet of commercial properties, primarily multi-tenant industrial, flex, and office space, located in six states.
Disclosures of the number and square footage of facilities, as well as the number and coverage of tenant reinsurance policies (Note 14) are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.).
2.Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
We have prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, the interim consolidated financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments, primarily of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary to present fairly the interim consolidated financial statements. Because they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements, these interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2022.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes to the Company's significant accounting policies described in Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

PSB $36,886$14,476
Shurgard6,5384,980
Total $43,424$19,456

Investment in PSB
Throughout all periods presented, we owned 7,158,354 shares of PSB’s common stock and 7,305,355 limited partnership units in an operating partnership controlled by PSB, representing an approximate 41% common equity interest as of March 31, 2022 (41% as of December 31, 2021). The limited partnership units are convertible at our option, subject to certain conditions, on a one-for-one basis into PSB common stock.
Based upon the closing price at March 31, 2022 ($168.08 per share of PSB common stock), the shares and units we owned had a market value of approximately $2.4 billion. During each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we received cash distributions from PSB totaling $15.2 million.
PSB is a publicly held entity traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “PSB”.
Refer to Note “15. Subsequent Events” for additional information about our investment in PSB.

Investment in Shurgard
Throughout all periods presented, we effectively owned, directly and indirectly 31,268,459 Shurgard common shares, representing an approximate 35% equity interest in Shurgard.
Based upon the closing price at March 31, 2022 (€56.30 per share of Shurgard common stock, at 1.111 exchange rate of US Dollars to the Euro), the shares we owned had a market value of approximately $2.0 billion.
Our equity in earnings of Shurgard comprised our equity share of Shurgard’s net income, less amortization of the Shurgard Basis Differential (defined below). We eliminated $0.3 million intra-entity profits and losses for each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, representing our equity share of the trademark license fees that Shurgard pays to us for the use of the Shurgard® trademark. We classify the remaining license fees we receive from Shurgard as interest and other income on our income statement.
At March 31, 2022, our investment in Shurgard’s real estate assets included in investment in unconsolidated real estate entities exceeds our pro-rata share of the underlying amounts on Shurgard’s balance sheet by approximately $73.4 million ($74.7 million at December 31, 2021). This differential (the “Shurgard Basis Differential”) includes our cost basis adjustment in Shurgard’s real estate assets net of related deferred income taxes. The real estate assets basis differential is being amortized as a reduction to equity in earnings of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities. Such

6.Credit Facility
We have a revolving credit agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with a $500 million borrowing limit that matures on April 19, 2024. Amounts drawn on the Credit Facility bear annual interest at rates ranging from LIBOR plus 0.7% to LIBOR plus 1.350% depending upon the ratio of our Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value (as defined in the Credit Facility) (LIBOR plus 0.75% at March 31, 2022). We are also required to pay a quarterly facility fee ranging from 0.07% per annum to 0.25% per annum depending upon the ratio of our Total Indebtedness to our Gross Asset Value (0.10% per annum at March 31, 2022). At March 31, 2022 and May 3, 2022, we had no outstanding borrowings under this Credit Facility. We had undrawn standby letters of credit, which reduces our borrowing capacity, totaling $21.2 million at March 31, 2022 ($21.2 million at December 31, 2021). The Credit Facility has various customary restrictive covenants, with which we were in compliance at March 31, 2022.

U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Notes
The U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Notes have various financial covenants, with which we were in compliance at March 31, 2022. Included in these covenants are (a) a maximum Debt to Total Assets of 65% (approximately 15% at March 31, 2022) and (b) a minimum ratio of Adjusted EBITDA to Interest Expense of 1.5x (approximately 27x for the twelve months ended March 31, 2022) as well as covenants limiting the amount we can encumber our properties with mortgage debt.
Euro Denominated Unsecured Notes
Our Euro denominated unsecured notes (the “Euro Notes”) consist of four tranches: (i) €242.0 million issued to institutional investors on November 3, 2015, (ii) €100.0 million issued to institutional investors on April 12, 2016, (iii) €500.0 million issued in a public offering on January 24, 2020, and (iv) €700.0 million issued in a public offering on September 9, 2021. The Euro Notes have financial covenants similar to those of the U.S. Dollar Denominated Unsecured Notes.
We reflect changes in the U.S. Dollar equivalent of the amount payable, as a result of changes in foreign exchange rates as “Foreign currency exchange gain” on our income statement (gains of $35.4 million and $45.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively).
Mortgage Notes
We assumed our non-recourse mortgage debt in connection with property acquisitions, and we recorded such debt at fair value with any premium or discount to the stated note balance amortized using the effective interest method.

8.Noncontrolling Interests
We have noncontrolling interests related to several subsidiaries we consolidate of which we do not own 100% of the equity. At March 31, 2022, certain of these subsidiaries issued 486,811 partnership units to third-parties that are convertible on a one-for-one basis (subject to certain limitations) into common shares of the Company at the option of the unitholder. These include a total of 254,833 partnership units of $83.6 million issued to third-parties in connection with our acquisition of a portfolio of self-storage properties (42,841 partnership units of $15.4 million issued in the three months ended March 31, 2022). The unitholders of these 254,833 partnership units have the right to require us to redeem their partnership units in cash if common shares of the Company are not publicly listed. We classify these noncontrolling interests as redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of total equity in our consolidated balance sheets.

The holders of our Preferred Shares have general preference rights with respect to liquidation, quarterly distributions, and any accumulated unpaid distributions. Except as noted below, holders of the Preferred Shares do not have voting rights. In the event of a cumulative arrearage equal to six quarterly dividends, holders of all outstanding series of preferred shares (voting as a single class without regard to series) will have the right to elect two additional members to serve on our Board of Trustees (our “Board”) until the arrearage has been cured. At March 31, 2022, there were no dividends in arrears. The affirmative vote of at least 66.67% of the outstanding shares of a series of Preferred Shares is required for any material and adverse amendment to the terms of such series. The affirmative vote of at least 66.67% of the outstanding shares of all of our Preferred Shares, voting as a single class, is required to issue shares ranking senior to our Preferred Shares.
Except under certain conditions relating to the Company’s qualification as a REIT, the Preferred Shares are not redeemable prior to the dates indicated on the table above. On or after the respective dates, each of the series of Preferred Shares is redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at $25.00 per depositary share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends. Holders of the Preferred Shares cannot require us to redeem such shares.
Upon issuance of our Preferred Shares, we classify the liquidation value as preferred equity on our consolidated balance sheet with any issuance costs recorded as a reduction to Paid-in capital.
On January 13, 2022, we issued 10.0 million depositary shares, each representing 0.001 of a share of our 4.100% Series S Preferred Shares, at an issuance price of $25.00 per depositary share, for a total of $250.0 million in gross proceeds, and we incurred $7.2 million in issuance costs.

10.Related Party Transactions
At March 31, 2022, Tamara Hughes Gustavson, a current member of our Board and her adult children owned and controlled 65 self-storage facilities in Canada. These facilities operate under the Public Storage® tradename, which we license to the owners of these facilities for use in Canada on a royalty-free, non-exclusive basis. We have no ownership interest in these facilities and we do not own or operate any facilities in Canada. If we chose to acquire or develop our own facilities in Canada, we would have to share the use of the Public Storage® name in Canada. We have a right of first refusal, subject to limitations, to acquire the stock or assets of the corporation engaged in the operation of these facilities if their owners agree to sell them. Our subsidiaries reinsure risks relating to loss of goods stored by customers in these facilities, and have received premium payments of approximately $535,000 and $469,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
11.Share-Based Compensation
Under various share-based compensation plans and under terms established or modified by our Board or a committee thereof, we grant equity awards to trustees, officers, and key employees, including non-qualified options to purchase the Company’s common shares, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), deferred stock units (“DSUs”), and unrestricted common stock issued in lieu of trustee compensation.
We recorded share-based compensation expense associated with our equity awards in the various expense categories in the Consolidated Statements of Income as set forth in the following table. In addition, $1.0 million and $1.2 million share-based compensation cost was capitalized as real estate facilities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Included in share-based compensation is $4.2 million and $3.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in connection with retirement acceleration as discussed in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
As of March 31, 2022, there was $119.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based compensation arrangements. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of three years.
Stock Options
We have service-based, performance-based and market-based stock options outstanding, which generally vest over 3 to 5 years, expire 10 years after the grant date, and have an exercise price equal to the closing trading price of

our common shares on the grant date. New shares are issued for options exercised. Employees cannot require the Company to settle their award in cash.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 77,683 stock options were granted, 36,050 options were exercised, and no options were forfeited. A total of 3,081,584 stock options were outstanding at March 31, 2022 (3,039,951 at December 31, 2021). For the stock options granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022, vesting is dependent upon meeting certain market conditions over the three-year period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024, with continued service-based vesting through the first quarter of 2027. These stock options require relative achievement of the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the weighted average total shareholder return of specified peer groups and can result in grantees earning up to 200% of the target options originally granted.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred share-based compensation cost for outstanding stock options of $3.9 million and $4.4 million, respectively.
Restricted Share Units
We have service-based, performance-based and market-based RSUs outstanding, which generally vest over 5 to 8 years from the grant date. Upon vesting, the grantee receives new common shares equal to the number of vested RSUs, less common shares withheld to satisfy the grantee’s statutory tax liabilities arising from the vesting. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, 24,725 RSUs were granted, 8,821 RSUs were forfeited and 57,349 RSUs vested. The vesting resulted in the issuance of 41,847 common shares. A total of 529,377 RSUs were outstanding at March 31, 2022 (570,822 at December 31, 2021).
Included in the RSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 are 21,985 RSUs where vesting is dependent upon meeting certain market conditions over a three-year period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024, with continued service-based vesting through the first quarter of 2027. These RSUs require relative achievement of the Company’s total shareholder return as compared to the weighted average total shareholder return of the specified peer groups and can result in grantees earning up to 200% of the target RSUs originally granted.
Also included in the RSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 are 2,740 service-based RSUs.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred share-based compensation cost for RSUs of $10.8 million and $11.0 million, respectively.
Trustee Deferral Program
Non-management trustees may elect to receive all or a portion of their cash retainers in cash, shares of unrestricted common stock, or fully-vested DSUs to be settled at a specified future date. Shares of unrestricted stock and/or deferred stock units will be granted to the non-management trustee on the last day of each calendar quarter based on the cash retainer earned for that quarter and converted into a number of shares or units based on the applicable closing price of our common shares on such date. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we granted 488 DSUs and 87 shares of unrestricted common stock.

12. Net Income per Common Share
We allocate net income to (i) noncontrolling interests based upon their contractual rights in the respective subsidiaries or for participating noncontrolling interests based upon their participation in both distributed and undistributed earnings of the Company, (ii) preferred shareholders, for distributions paid or payable, (iii) preferred shareholders, to the extent redemption cost exceeds the related original net issuance proceeds (an “preferred share redemption charge”), and (iv) restricted share units, for non-forfeitable dividends paid and adjusted for participation rights in undistributed earnings of the Company.
We calculate basic and diluted net income per common share based upon net income allocable to common shareholders, divided by (i) weighted average common shares for basic net income per common share, and (ii) weighted average common shares adjusted for the impact of dilutive stock options outstanding for diluted net income per common share.
The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted net income per common shares computation for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively (in thousands, except per share amounts):

14. Commitments and Contingencies
Contingent Losses
We are a party to various legal proceedings and subject to various claims and complaints; however, we believe that the likelihood of these contingencies resulting in a material loss to the Company, either individually or in the aggregate, is remote.
Insurance and Loss Exposure
We carry property, earthquake, general liability, employee medical insurance, and workers compensation coverage through internationally recognized insurance carriers, subject to deductibles. Our deductible for general liability is $2.0 million per occurrence. Our annual deductible for property loss is $25.0 million per occurrence. This deductible decreases to $5.0 million once we reach $35.0 million in aggregate losses for occurrences that exceed $5.0 million. Insurance carriers’ aggregate limits on these policies of $75.0 million for property losses and $102.0 million for general liability losses are higher than estimates of maximum probable losses that could occur from individual catastrophic events determined in recent engineering and actuarial studies; however, in case of multiple catastrophic events, these limits could be exceeded.
We reinsure a program that provides insurance to our customers from an independent third-party insurer. This program covers customer claims for losses to goods stored at our facilities as a result of specific named perils (earthquakes are not covered by this program), up to a maximum limit of $5,000 per storage unit. We reinsure all risks in this program, but purchase insurance to cover this exposure for a limit of $15.0 million for losses in excess of $5.0 million per occurrence. We are subject to licensing requirements and regulations in several states. Customers participate in the program at their option. At March 31, 2022, there were approximately 1.2 million certificates held by our self-storage customers, representing aggregate coverage of approximately $5.2 billion.
Commitments
We have construction commitments representing future expected payments for construction under contract totaling $204.9 million at March 31, 2022. We expect to pay approximately $142.3 million in the remainder of 2022, $60.0 million in 2023 and $2.6 million in 2024 for these construction commitments.
We have future contractual payments on land, equipment and office space under various lease commitments totaling $65.4 million at March 31, 2022. We expect to pay approximately $2.2 million in the remainder of 2022, $3.1 million in 2023, $3.0 million in each of 2024, 2025 and 2026 and $51.1 million thereafter for these commitments.
15.    Subsequent Events
Subsequent to March 31, 2022, we acquired or were under contract to acquire eleven self-storage facilities across nine states with 0.9 million net rentable square feet, for $147.2 million.

On April 24, 2022, PSB entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") whereby affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate ("Blackstone") will acquire all outstanding shares of PSB's common stock for $187.50 per share in cash. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each share of PSB common stock and each common unit of partnership interest will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $187.50, without interest. If the transaction is consummated, we expect to (i) receive approximately $2.7 billion of cash proceeds in exchange for the approximate 41% common equity interest we hold in PSB, (ii) recognize an approximate $2.2 billion gain on the sale of our equity investment in PSB in the Consolidated Statement of Income, and (iii) distribute a $2.3 billion estimated tax gain on the sale to our common shareholders. The merger transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022, however, the merger transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by PSB’s common stockholders. Pursuant to a support agreement entered into with PSB and Blackstone, we have committed to vote our equity interests in favor of the transaction, subject to certain conditions.

Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires us to make judgments, assumptions, and estimates that affect the amounts reported. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience, and various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances to determine reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, there were no material changes to our critical accounting estimates as compared to the critical accounting estimates disclosed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Overview
Our self-storage operations generate most of our net income and our earnings growth is impacted by the levels of growth within our Same Store Facilities (as defined below) as well as within our Acquired Facilities and Newly Developed and Expanded Facilities (both as defined below). Accordingly, a significant portion of management’s time is devoted to maximizing cash flows from our existing self-storage facility portfolio.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, revenues generated by our Same Store Facilities increased by 15.8% ($102.1 million), as compared to the same period in 2021, while Same Store cost of operations increased by 3.6% ($6.5 million). Demand and operating trends have continued to improve, leading to increases in our self-storage rental rates and reduction in marketing expense while maintaining high levels of occupancy.

In addition to managing our existing facilities for organic growth, we have grown and plan to continue to grow through the acquisition and development of new facilities and expansion of our existing self-storage facilities. Since the beginning of 2020, we acquired a total of 304 facilities with 27.7 million net rentable square feet for $6.0 billion, and within our non-same store portfolio have developed and expanded self-storage space for a total cost of $1.4 billion, adding 16.6 million net rentable square feet. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net operating income generated by our Acquired Facilities and Newly Developed and Expanded Facilities increased 241.8% ($67.9 million), as compared to the same period in 2021.

Our strong financial profile continues to enable effective access to capital markets in order to support our growth. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we raised $250 million in a public offering of our preferred shares.

In order to enhance the competitive position of certain of our facilities relative to local competitors (including newly developed facilities), we have embarked on our multi-year Property of Tomorrow program to (i) rebrand our properties with more pronounced, attractive, and clearly identifiable color schemes and signage, (ii) enhance the energy efficiency of our properties, and (iii) upgrade the configuration and layout of the offices and other customer zones to improve the customer experience. We expect to complete the program by the end of 2025. We expect to spend approximately $180 million over 2022 on this effort.

Refer to Note 15. Subsequent Events for information regarding PSB’s recently announced merger transaction, including with respect to anticipated cash proceeds, tax treatment and a related distribution to our common shareholders. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022, subject to approval by PSB’s stockholders and other customary closing conditions. Following consummation of the transaction, our future operating results will no longer reflect contributions from our investment in PSB.

Results of Operations

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

For the three months ended March 31, 2022, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $464.1 million or $2.63 per diluted common share, compared to $385.8 million or $2.21 per diluted common share in 2021, representing an increase of $78.3 million or $0.42 per diluted common share. The increase is due primarily to (i) a $167.3 million increase in self-storage net operating income and (ii) our $23.6 million equity share of gains on sale of real estate recorded by PS Business Parks, Inc. in 2022, partially offset by (iii) a $75.3 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, (iv) a $17.9 million increase in interest expense, (v) a $10.0 million decrease in foreign currency exchange gains associated with our Euro denominated notes payable, and (vi) a $9.4 million gain on sale of real estate recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The $167.3 million increase in self-storage net operating income in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 is a result of a $95.6 million increase in our Same Store Facilities and a $71.7 million increase in our non-same store facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 15.8% or $102.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per available square foot. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 3.6% or $6.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to 2021, due primarily to (i) a 4.8% ($3.2 million) increase in property tax expense, (ii) a 19.0% ($2.5 million) increase in repairs and maintenance expense, and (iii) a 17.5% ($2.3 million) increase in centralized management costs, partially offset by (iv) a 23.1% ($3.4 million) decrease in marketing expense. The increase in net operating income of $71.7 million for the non-same store facilities is due primarily to the impact of facilities acquired in 2021 and the fill-up of recently developed and expanded facilities.

Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and FFO per share are non-GAAP measures defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and are considered helpful measures of REIT performance by REITs and many REIT analysts. FFO represents net income before depreciation and amortization, which is excluded because it is based upon historical costs and assumes that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions. FFO also excludes gains or losses on sale of real estate assets and real estate impairment charges, which are also based upon historical costs and are impacted by historical depreciation. FFO and FFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. FFO is not a substitute for net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because it excludes investing and financing activities presented on our consolidated statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITs may compute these measures differently, so comparisons among REITs may not be helpful.
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, FFO was $3.83 per diluted common share as compared to $3.08 per diluted common share for the same period in 2021, representing an increase of 24.4%, or $0.75 per diluted common share.
We also present “Core FFO” and “Core FFO per share,” non-GAAP measures that represent FFO and FFO per share excluding the impact of (i) foreign currency exchange gains and losses, (ii) charges related to the redemption of preferred securities, and (iii) certain other non-cash and/or nonrecurring income or expense items primarily representing, with respect to the periods presented below, our equity share of the impact of severance of senior executive and casualties from our equity investees. We review Core FFO and Core FFO per share to evaluate our ongoing operating performance and we believe they are used by investors and REIT analysts in a similar manner. However, Core FFO and Core FFO per share are not substitutes for net income and net income per share. Because other REITs may not compute Core FFO or Core FFO per share in the same manner as we do, may not use the same terminology or may not present such measures, Core FFO and Core FFO per share may not be comparable among REITs.

Analysis of Net Income - Self-Storage Operations
Our self-storage operations are analyzed in four groups: (i) the 2,282 facilities that we have owned and operated on a stabilized basis since January 1, 2020 (the “Same Store Facilities”), (ii) 304 facilities we acquired since January 1, 2020 (the “Acquired Facilities”), (iii) 145 facilities that have been newly developed or expanded, or that will commence expansion by December 31, 2022 (the “Newly Developed and Expanded Facilities”), and (iv) 66 other facilities, which are otherwise not stabilized with respect to occupancies or rental rates since January 1, 2020 (the “Other Non-same Store Facilities”). See Note 13 to our March 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements “Segment Information,” for a reconciliation of the amounts in the tables below to our total net income.

(a)Net operating income or “NOI” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization expense, which is based upon historical real estate costs and assumes that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions. We utilize NOI in determining current property values, evaluating property performance, and in evaluating property operating trends. We believe that investors and analysts utilize NOI in a similar manner. NOI is not a substitute for net income, operating cash flow, or other related financial measures, in evaluating our operating results. See Note 13 to our March 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements for a reconciliation of NOI to our total net income for all periods presented.
Same Store Facilities

The Same Store Facilities consist of facilities we have owned and operated on a stabilized level of occupancy, revenues, and cost of operations since January 1, 2020. Our Same Store Facilities increased from 2,274 facilities at December 31, 2021 to 2,282 at March 31, 2022. The composition of our Same Store Facilities allows us more effectively to evaluate the ongoing performance of our self-storage portfolio in 2020, 2021, and 2022 and exclude the impact of fill-up of unstabilized facilities, which can significantly affect operating trends. We believe investors and analysts use Same Store information in a similar manner. However, because other REITs may not compute Same Store Facilities in the same manner as we do, may not use the same terminology or may not present such a measure, Same Store Facilities may not be comparable among REITs.

The following table summarizes the historical operating results of these 2,282 facilities (149.5 million net rentable square feet) that represent approximately 75% of the aggregate net rentable square feet of our U.S. consolidated self-storage portfolio at March 31, 2022. It includes various measures and detail that we do not include in the analysis of the developed, acquired, and other non-same store facilities, due to the relative magnitude and importance of the Same Store Facilities relative to our other self-storage facilities.

(a)Revenues and cost of operations do not include tenant reinsurance and merchandise sale revenues and expenses generated at the facilities. See “Ancillary Operations” below for more information.
(b)Direct net operating income (“Direct NOI”), a subtotal within NOI, is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of supervisory payroll, centralized management costs and share-based compensation in addition to depreciation and amortization expense. We utilize direct net operating income in evaluating property performance and in evaluating property operating trends as compared to our competitors.
(c)Realized annual rent per occupied square foot is computed by dividing rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the weighted average occupied square feet for the period. Realized annual rent per available square foot (“REVPAF”) is computed by dividing rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the total available net rentable square feet for the period. These measures exclude late charges and administrative fees in order to provide a better measure of our ongoing level of revenue. Late charges are dependent upon the level of delinquency and administrative fees are dependent upon the level of move-ins. In addition, the rates charged for late charges and administrative fees can vary independently from rental rates. These measures take into consideration promotional discounts, which reduce rental income.
(d)Annual contract rent represents the agreed upon monthly rate that is paid by our tenants in place at the time of measurement. Contract rates are initially set in the lease agreement upon move-in and we adjust them from time to time with notice. Contract rent excludes other fees that are charged on a per-item basis, such as late charges and administrative fees, does not reflect the impact of promotional discounts, and does not reflect the impact of rents that are written off as uncollectible.
Analysis of Same Store Revenue
We believe a balanced occupancy and rate strategy maximizes our revenues over time. We regularly adjust rental rates and promotional discounts offered (generally, “$1.00 rent for the first month”), as well as our marketing efforts to maximize revenue from new tenants to replace tenants that vacate.
We typically increase rental rates to our long-term tenants (generally, those who have been with us for at least a year) every six to twelve months. As a result, the number of long-term tenants we have in our facilities is an important factor in our revenue growth. The level of rate increases to long-term tenants is based upon evaluating the additional revenue from the increase against the negative impact of incremental move-outs, by considering the customer’s in-place rent and prevailing market rents, among other factors.
Revenues generated by our Same Store Facilities increased 15.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, due primarily to a 15.7% increase in realized annual rent per occupied square foot.
Our growth in revenues, realized annual rent per occupied square foot, and REVPAF for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 was evident in each of our markets. Our weighted average square foot occupancy remained strong across our markets for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
The increase of realized annual rent per occupied square foot in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 was due to (i) rate increases to existing long-term tenants in substantially all of our markets in 2022 as compared to curtailed increases in certain markets in 2021, combined with (ii) a 15.1% year over year increase in average rates per square foot charged to new tenants moving in as a result of strong customer demand across all markets. At March 31, 2022, annual contract rent per occupied square foot was 16.0% higher as compared to March 31, 2021.
We experienced high occupancy levels throughout the first three months of 2022. Our average square foot occupancy levels remained unchanged on a year over year basis at 95.6% during the three months ended March 31, 2022. Move-out volumes increased 5.0% and move-in volumes decreased 4.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, leading to a lower square foot occupancy at March 31, 2022 of 95.1% as compared to 95.9% at March 31, 2021. Move-out volumes were impacted by rental rate increases to our existing tenants, while move-in volumes were impacted by the higher rental rates charged to new tenants in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. Average length of stay increased in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, which supported revenue growth through rate increases to long-term tenants. With strong occupancy, we reduced promotional discounts given to new move-in customers for the three months ended March 31, 2022 by 43.7% as compared to the same period in 2021.
Demand historically has been higher in the summer months than in the winter months and, as a result, rental rates charged to new tenants have typically been higher in the summer months than in the winter months. Demand fluctuates due to various local and regional factors, including the overall economy. Demand into our system is also impacted by new supply of self-storage space as well as alternatives to self-storage.
28


We expect continued revenue growth for the remainder of 2022 supported by consistently high customer demand and a stable tenant base leading to increasing realized annual rent per occupied square foot while maintaining a high level of occupancy.
Late Charges and Administrative Fees
Late charges and administrative fees increased 18.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, due to (i) higher late charges collected on delinquent accounts and to a lesser extent (ii) higher administrative charge per move-in.
Selected Key Statistical Data
The following table sets forth average annual contract rent per square foot and total square footage for tenants moving in and moving out during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Cost of operations (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased 3.6% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, due primarily to increased property tax expense, repairs and maintenance expense and centralized management costs, partially offset by decreased marketing expense.
Property tax expense increased 4.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, as a result of higher recently assessed values. We expect property tax expense growth of approximately 5.0% in the remainder of 2022.
On-site property manager payroll expense increased 6.8% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The increase is primarily due to wage increases effective in late 2021 in response to competitive labor conditions experienced in most geographical markets, partially offset by a year-over-year decline in hours worked due to staffing reductions from revisions to other operational processes. We expect on-site property manager payroll expense to further increase in the remainder of 2022 as compared to 2021 due in part to continued competitive labor conditions.
Repairs and maintenance expense increased 19.0% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. Repairs and maintenance expense includes snow removal costs totaling $3.3 million and $2.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding snow removal costs, repairs and maintenance expense increased 10.2% in in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. Repairs and maintenance expense levels are dependent upon many factors such as (i) damage and equipment malfunctions, (ii) short-term local supply and demand factors for material and labor, and (iii) weather conditions, which can impact costs such as snow removal, roof repairs, and HVAC maintenance and repairs.

Marketing expense includes Internet advertising and the operating costs of our telephone reservation center. Internet advertising expense, comprising keyword search fees assessed on a “per click” basis, varies based upon demand for self-storage space, the quantity of people inquiring about self-storage through online search, occupancy levels, the number and aggressiveness of bidding competitors, and other factors. These factors are volatile; accordingly, Internet advertising can increase or decrease significantly in the short-term. We decreased marketing expense by 23.1% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 due primarily to lower volume of paid search programs we utilized given strong demand and high occupancies in many of our same store properties.
Centralized management costs represents administrative and cash compensation expenses for shared general corporate functions to the extent their efforts are devoted to self-storage operations. Such functions include information technology support, hardware, and software, as well as centralized administration of payroll, benefits, training, facilities management, customer service, pricing and marketing, operational accounting and finance, and legal costs. Centralized management costs increased 17.5% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The increase was due primarily to an increase in technology and data team costs that support property operations. We expect increases in centralized management costs in the remainder of 2022 due to continued investment in our technology and data platforms that support our property operations.
Share-based compensation expense includes the amortization of restricted share units and stock options granted to management personnel who directly and indirectly supervise the on-site property managers, as well as those employees responsible for providing shared general corporate functions to the extent their efforts are devoted to self-storage operations. Such functions are listed above under centralized management costs. Share-based compensation expense varies based upon the level of grants and their related vesting and amortization periods, forfeitures, as well as the Company’s common share price on the date of each grant. Share-based compensation decreased 30.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The decrease in 2022 is due primarily to higher expense recognized in 2021 for certain performance-based awards estimated to achieve above-target results.

(a)Represents the percentage change with respect to square foot occupancy and annual contract rent per occupied square foot, and the absolute nominal change with respect to all other items.
(b)Revenues and cost of operations do not include tenant reinsurance and merchandise sales generated at the facilities. See “Ancillary Operations” below for more information.
(c)The facilities included above have an aggregate of approximately 16.6 million net rentable square feet at March 31, 2022, including 5.0 million in Texas, 2.8 million in Florida, 2.2 million in California, 1.5 million in Colorado, 1.2 million in Minnesota, 0.9 million in North Carolina, 0.6 million in Michigan, 0.4 million in each of Missouri and Washington, 0.3 million in each of New Jersey, South Carolina and Virginia and 0.7 million in other states.
(d)These amounts only include the direct cost incurred to expand and renovate these facilities, and do not include (i) the original cost to develop or acquire the facility or (ii) the lost revenue on space demolished during the construction and fill-up period.
It typically takes at least three to four years for a newly developed or expanded self-storage facility to stabilize with respect to revenues. Physical occupancy can be achieved as early as two to three years following completion of the development or expansion through offering lower rental rates during fill-up. As a result, even after achieving high occupancy, there can still be a period of elevated revenue growth as the tenant base matures and higher rental rates are achieved.
We believe that our development and redevelopment activities generate favorable risk-adjusted returns over the long run. However, in the short run, our earnings are diluted during the construction and stabilization period due to the cost of capital to fund the development cost, as well as the related construction and development overhead expenses included in general and administrative expense.
We typically underwrite new developments to stabilize at approximately an 8.0% NOI yield on cost. Our developed facilities have thus far leased up as expected and are at various stages of their revenue stabilization periods. The actual annualized yields that we may achieve on these facilities upon stabilization will depend on many factors, including local and current market conditions in the vicinity of each property and the level of new and existing supply.
The facilities under “expansions completed” represent those facilities where the expansions have been completed at March 31, 2022. We incurred a total of $602.2 million in direct cost to expand these facilities, demolished a total of 1.1 million net rentable square feet of storage space, and built a total of 5.7 million net rentable square feet of new storage space.
At March 31, 2022, we had 26 additional facilities in development, which will have a total of 2.2 million net rentable square feet of storage space and have an aggregate development cost totaling approximately $406.1 million. We expect these facilities to open over the next 18 to 24 months.
The facilities under "expansion in process" represent those facilities where construction is in process at March 31, 2022, and together with additional expansion activities primarily related to our Same Store Facilities at March 31, 2022, we expect to add a total of 2.6 million net rentable square feet of storage space by expanding existing self-storage facilities for an aggregate direct development cost of $427.7 million.

37


Other Non-Same Store Facilities
The “Other Non-Same Store Facilities” represent facilities which, while not newly acquired, developed, or expanded, are not fully stabilized since January 1, 2020, including facilities under fill-up as well as facilities damaged in casualty events such as hurricanes, floods, and fires.
The Other Non-Same Store Facilities have an aggregate of 5.3 million net rentable square feet, including 1.1 million in Texas, 0.6 million in each of Florida and Washington, 0.4 million in each of California and Virginia, 0.3 million in each of Indiana and South Carolina, 0.2 million in each of Georgia, Kentucky, Massachusetts and Tennessee and 0.8 million in other states.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, the average occupancy for these facilities totaled 91.7% and 90.6%, respectively, and the realized rent per occupied square foot totaled $16.90 and $13.23, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense for Self-Storage Operations increased $75.3 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021, primarily due to newly acquired facilities of $5.1 billion in 2021. We expect continued increases in depreciation expense in the remainder of 2022 as a result of elevated levels of capital expenditures and new facilities that are acquired, developed or expanded in the remainder of 2022.
38


Ancillary Operations
Ancillary revenues and expenses include amounts associated with the reinsurance of policies against losses to goods stored by tenants in our self-storage facilities, sale of merchandise at our self-storage facilities, and management of property owned by unrelated third parties. The following table sets forth our ancillary operations:

Third party property management30(330)360
Total net operating income$40,915$34,597$6,318
Tenant reinsurance operations: Tenant reinsurance premium revenue increased $5.5 million or 13.9% in the three months ended March 31, 2022 over the same period in 2021 as a result of higher average premiums and an increase in our tenant base with respect to acquired, newly developed, and expanded facilities and the third party properties we manage. Tenant reinsurance premium revenue generated from tenants at our Same-Store Facilities were $34.4 million and $33.2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, representing a 3.6% increase.
We expect future growth will come primarily from customers of newly acquired and developed facilities, as well as additional tenants at our existing unstabilized self-storage facilities.
Cost of operations primarily includes claims paid as well as claims adjustment expenses. Claims expenses vary based upon the number of insured tenants and the volume of events which drive covered customer losses, such as burglary, as well as catastrophic weather events affecting multiple properties such as hurricanes and floods.
Merchandise sales: Sales of locks, boxes, and packing supplies at our self-storage facilities are primarily impacted by the level of move-ins and other customer traffic at our self-storage facilities. We do not expect any significant changes in revenues or profitability from our merchandise sales in the remainder of 2022.
Third-party property management: At March 31, 2022, we managed 97 facilities for unrelated third parties, and were under contract to manage 64 additional facilities including 58 facilities that are currently under construction. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we added 15 facilities to the program, acquired one facility from the program, and had five properties exit the program due to sales to other buyers. While we expect this business to increase in scope and size, we do not expect any significant changes in overall profitability of this business in the near term as we seek new properties to manage and are in the earlier stages of fill-up for newly managed properties.

Analysis of items not allocated to segments
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities
For all periods presented, we have equity investments in PSB and Shurgard, which we account for using the equity method and record our pro-rata share of the net income of these entities. The following table, and the discussion below, sets forth our equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities:
 Three Months Ended March 31,
 20222021Change
 (Amounts in thousands)
Equity in earnings:
PSB $36,886$14,476$22,410
Shurgard6,5384,9801,558
Total equity in earnings $43,424$19,456$23,968
Investment in PSB: Throughout all periods presented, we owned 7,158,354 shares of PS Business Parks, Inc. (“PSB”) common stock and 7,305,355 limited partnership units in an operating partnership controlled by PSB, representing an approximate 41% common equity interest in PSB as of March 31, 2022 (41% as of December 31, 2021). The limited partnership units are convertible at our option, subject to certain conditions, on a one-for-one basis into PSB common stock.
At March 31, 2022, PSB wholly-owned approximately 27 million rentable square feet of commercial space and had a 95% interest in a 395-unit apartment complex. PSB also manages commercial space that we own pursuant to property management agreements.
Included in our equity earnings from PSB for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is our equity share of gains on sale of real estate totaling $23.6 million (none for the same period in 2021). For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, our share of earnings from PSB contributed $25.5 million and $24.2 million, respectively, to Core FFO.
On April 24, 2022, PSB entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement") whereby affiliates of Blackstone Real Estate ("Blackstone") will acquire all outstanding shares of PSB's common stock for $187.50 per share in cash. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, each share of PSB common stock and each common unit of partnership interest will be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $187.50, without interest. If the transaction is consummated, we expect to (i) receive approximately $2.7 billion of cash proceeds in exchange for the approximate 41% common equity interest we hold in PSB, (ii) recognize an approximate $2.2 billion gain on the sale of our equity investment in PSB in the Consolidated Statement of Income, and (iii) distribute a $2.3 billion estimated tax gain on the sale to our common shareholders. The merger transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022, however, the merger transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including approval by PSB’s common stockholders. Pursuant to a support agreement entered into with PSB and Blackstone, we have committed to vote our equity interests in favor of the transaction, subject to certain conditions.
PSB’s filings and selected financial information, including discussion of the factors that affect its earnings, can be accessed through the SEC, and on PSB’s website, www.psbusinessparks.com. Information on this website is not incorporated by reference herein and is not a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Investment in Shurgard: Throughout all periods presented, we effectively owned, directly and indirectly, 31,268,459 Shurgard common shares, representing an approximate 35% equity interest in Shurgard. Shurgard’s common shares trade on Euronext Brussels under the “SHUR” symbol.
At March 31, 2022, Shurgard owned 254 self-storage facilities with approximately 14 million net rentable square feet. Shurgard pays us license fees for use of the Shurgard® trademark, as described in more detail in Note 4 to our March 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements.

Exchange, http://www.bourse.lu. Information on these websites is not incorporated by reference herein and is not a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
For purposes of recording our equity in earnings from Shurgard, the Euro was translated at exchange rates of approximately 1.111 U.S. Dollars per Euro at March 31, 2022 (1.134 at December 31, 2021), and average exchange rates of 1.122 and 1.205 for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

General and administrative expense: The following table sets forth our general and administrative expense:
 Three Months Ended March 31,
 20222021Change
 (Amounts in thousands)
Share-based compensation expense $8,798$7,680$1,118
Development and acquisition costs2,8401,8071,033
Tax compliance costs and taxes paid 2,7341,6091,125
Legal costs 2401,143(903)
Corporate management costs5,8464,1761,670
Other costs 2,6113,159(548)
Total $23,069$19,574$3,495
Share-based compensation expense includes the amortization of restricted share units and stock options granted to certain corporate employees and trustees.
Share-based compensation expense for management personnel who directly and indirectly supervise the on-site property managers, as well as those employees responsible for providing shared general corporate functions to the extent their efforts are devoted to self-storage operations, are included as self-storage cost of operations. See “Same Store Facilities” for further information. Share-based compensation expense varies based upon the level of grants and their related vesting and amortization periods, forfeitures, as well as the Company’s common share price on the date of each grant.
Share-based compensation expense classified as general and administrative expense increased $1.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 due primarily to accelerated compensation expense recognized for awards granted to corporate management personnel who are eligible for immediate vesting of their outstanding awards upon retirement.
Development and acquisition costs primarily represent internal and external expenses related to our development and acquisition of real estate facilities and varies primarily based upon the level of activities. The amounts in the above table are net of $4.3 million and $3.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in development costs that were capitalized to newly developed and redeveloped self-storage facilities.
Interest and other income: Interest and other income is comprised of the revenue and cost associated with our commercial operations, interest earned on cash balances, and trademark license fees received from Shurgard, as well as sundry other income items that are received from time to time in varying amounts. For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recognized $3.4 million and $2.9 million interest and other income, respectively. Amounts attributable to commercial operations was $2.1 million and $2.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Excluding the aforementioned amounts attributable to our commercial operations, interest and other income increased $0.4 million from the three months ended March 31, 2021 to the same period in 2022.
Interest expense: For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we incurred $34.3 million and $16.2 million, respectively, of interest on our outstanding notes payable. In determining interest expense, these amounts were offset by capitalized interest of $1.2 million and $0.9 million during each of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, associated with our development activities. The increase of interest expense in the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021 is due to our issuances of debt. At March 31, 2022, we had $7.4 billion of notes payable outstanding, with a weighted average interest rate of approximately 1.8%.
41


Foreign Currency Exchange Gain: For the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, we recorded foreign currency gains of $35.4 million and $45.4 million, respectively, representing the changes in the U.S. Dollar equivalent of our Euro-denominated unsecured notes due to fluctuations in exchange rates. The Euro was translated at exchange rates of approximately 1.111 U.S. Dollars per Euro at March 31, 2022, 1.134 at December 31, 2021, 1.173 at March 31, 2021 and 1.226 at December 31, 2020. Future gains and losses on foreign currency will be dependent upon changes in the relative value of the Euro to the U.S. Dollar and the level of Euro-denominated notes payable outstanding.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate: In the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded gains on sale of real estate totaling $9.4 million (none in the three months ended March 31, 2022), in connection with the complete sale of a real estate facility pursuant to eminent domain proceeding in Saint Louis, Missouri.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview

As of March 31, 2022, our expected material cash requirements for the next twelve months and thereafter comprised (i) contractually obligated expenditures, including payments of principal and interest; (ii) other essential expenditures, including property operating expenses, maintenance capital expenditures and dividends paid in accordance with REIT distribution requirements; and (iii) opportunistic expenditures, including acquisitions and developments and repurchases of our securities. We expect to satisfy these cash requirements through operating cash flow and opportunistic debt and equity financing.
Sources of Capital

While operating as a REIT allows us to minimize the payment of U.S. federal corporate income tax expense, we are required to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. Notwithstanding this requirement, we are nonetheless able to retain operating cash flow to the extent that our tax depreciation exceeds our maintenance capital expenditures. Retained operating cash flow represents our expected cash flow provided by operating activities, less shareholder distributions and capital expenditures. Our annual operating retained cash flow increased from $200 million to $300 million per year in recent years to approximately $700 million in 2021. We anticipate retained operating cash flow over the next twelve months will be similar to 2021.
The REIT distribution requirement limits cash flow from operations that can be retained and reinvested in the business, increasing our reliance upon raising capital to fund growth. Capital needs in excess of retained cash flow are met with: (i) medium and long-term debt, (ii) preferred equity, and (iii) common equity. We select among these sources of capital based upon relative cost, availability, the desire for leverage, and considering potential constraints caused by certain features of capital sources, such as debt covenants. We view our line of credit, as well as any short-term bank loans, as bridge financing.
Because raising capital is important to our growth, we endeavor to maintain a strong financial profile characterized by strong credit metrics, including low leverage relative to our total capitalization and operating cash flows. We are one of the highest rated REITs, as rated by major rating agencies Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. Our senior notes payable has an “A” credit rating by Standard & Poor’s and “A2” by Moody’s. Our credit ratings on each of our series of preferred shares are “A3” by Moody’s and “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s. Our credit profile enable us to effectively access both the public and private capital markets to raise capital.
We have a $500.0 million revolving line of credit which we are able to use as temporary “bridge” financing until we are able to raise longer term capital. As of March 31, 2022 and May 3, 2022, there were no borrowings outstanding on the revolving line of credit; however, we do have approximately $21.2 million of outstanding letters of credit which limits our borrowing capacity to $478.8 million. Our line of credit matures on April 19, 2024.
We believe that we have significant financial flexibility to adapt to changing conditions and opportunities and we have significant access to sources of capital including debt and preferred equity. Based upon our substantial current liquidity relative to our capital requirements noted below, we would not expect any potential capital market dislocations to have a material impact upon our expected capital and growth plans over the next 12 months. However, if capital market conditions were to change significantly in the long run, our access to or cost of debt and preferred equity capital could be negatively impacted and potentially affect future investment activities.
42


We believe that our cash provided by our operating activities will continue to be sufficient to enable us to meet our ongoing cash requirements for interest payments on debt, maintenance capital expenditures and distributions to our shareholders for the foreseeable future.
Our expected capital resources include: (i) $940.5 million of cash as of March 31, 2022 and (ii) approximately $700.0 million of expected retained operating cash flow over the next twelve months. In addition, upon the consummation of the PSB merger, which PSB has announced is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022, we expect to receive approximately $2.7 billion of cash proceeds. The transaction will generate a tax gain of approximately $2.3 billion which, in order to satisfy our REIT qualification distribution requirements, we expect to distribute to our shareholders.
Over the long term, to the extent that our capital needs exceed our capital resources, we believe we have a variety of possibilities to raise additional capital including issuing common or preferred securities, issuing debt, or entering into joint venture arrangements to acquire or develop facilities.
Cash Requirements
The following summarizes our expected material cash requirements which comprise (i) contractually obligated expenditures, (ii) other essential expenditures, and (iii) opportunistic expenditures. We expect our capital needs to increase over the next year as we add projects to our development pipeline and acquire additional properties.
Required Debt Repayments: As of March 31, 2022, the principal outstanding on our debt totaled approximately $7.5 billion, consisting of $23.0 million of secured notes payable, $1.7 billion of Euro-denominated unsecured notes payable and $5.8 billion of U.S. Dollar denominated unsecured notes payable. Approximate principal maturities and interest payments are as follows (amounts in thousands):
Remainder of 2022
$595,837
2023136,252
2024924,590
2025377,965
20261,251,728
Thereafter 4,987,294
 $8,273,666
Capital Expenditure Requirements: Capital expenditures include general maintenance, major repairs or replacements to elements of our facilities to keep our facilities in good operating condition and maintain their visual appeal. Capital expenditures do not include costs relating to the development of new facilities or redevelopment of existing facilities to increase their available rentable square footage.
Capital expenditures totaled $91.3 million in the first three months of 2022 and are expected to approximate $300 million for the year ending December 31, 2022. In addition to standard capital repairs of building elements reaching the end of their useful lives, our capital expenditures in recent years have included incremental expenditures to enhance the competitive position of certain of our facilities relative to local competitors pursuant to a multi-year program. Such investments include development of more pronounced, attractive, and clearly identifiable color schemes and signage, upgrades to the configuration and layout of the offices and other customer zones to improve the customer experience. We spent approximately $42 million in the first three months of 2022 and expect to spend $180 million in 2022 on this effort. In addition, we have made investments in LED lighting and the installation of solar panels, which approximated $15 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and we expect to spend $30 million in 2022.
We believe that these incremental investments improve customer satisfaction, the attractiveness and competitiveness of our facilities to new and existing customers and, in the case of LED lighting and solar panels, reduce operating costs.
Requirement to Pay Distributions: For all periods presented herein, we have elected to be treated as a REIT, as defined in the Code. For each taxable year in which we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we will not be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our “REIT taxable income” (generally, taxable income subject to specified adjustments,
43


including a deduction for dividends paid and excluding our net capital gain) that is distributed to our shareholders. We believe we have met these requirements in all periods presented herein, and we expect to continue to qualify as a REIT.
On April 28, 2022, our Board declared a regular common quarterly dividend of $2.00 per common share totaling approximately $350 million, which will be paid at the end of June 2022. Our consistent, long-term dividend policy has been to distribute our taxable income. Future quarterly distributions with respect to the common shares will continue to be determined based upon our REIT distribution requirements after taking into consideration distributions to the preferred shareholders and will be funded with cash flows from operating activities.
The annual distribution requirement with respect to our Preferred Shares outstanding at March 31, 2022 is approximately $194.7 million per year.
As discussed above, in connection with the PSB merger transaction, we expect to distribute approximately $2.3 billion of taxable gain associated with the transaction to our common shareholders.
Real Estate Investment Activities: We continue to seek to acquire additional self-storage facilities from third parties. Subsequent to March 31, 2022, we acquired or were under contract to acquire eleven self-storage facilities for a total purchase price of $147.2 million. Five of these properties are under construction and expected to close as they are completed in the remainder of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023.
We are actively seeking to acquire additional facilities. However, future acquisition volume will depend upon whether additional owners will be motivated to market their facilities, which will in turn depend upon factors such as economic conditions and the level of seller confidence.
As of March 31, 2022, we had development and expansion projects at a total cost of approximately $833.8 million. Costs incurred through March 31, 2022 were $337.6 million, with the remaining cost to complete of $496.2 million expected to be incurred primarily in the next 18 to 24 months. Some of these projects are subject to contingencies such as entitlement approval. We expect to continue to seek to add projects to maintain and increase our robust pipeline. Our ability to do so continues to be challenged by various constraints such as difficulty in finding projects that meet our risk-adjusted yield expectations, and challenges in obtaining building permits for self-storage facilities in certain municipalities.
Property Operating Expenses: The direct and indirect cost of our operations impose significant cash requirements. Direct operating costs include property taxes, on-site property manager payroll, repairs and maintenance, utilities and marketing. Indirect operating costs include supervisory payroll and centralized management costs. The cash requirements from these operating costs will vary year to year based on, among other things, changes in the size of our portfolio and changes in property tax rates and assessed values, wage rates and marketing costs in our markets.
Redemption of Preferred Securities: Historically, we have taken advantage of refinancing higher coupon preferred securities with lower coupon preferred securities. In the future, we may also elect to finance the redemption of preferred securities with proceeds from the issuance of debt. As of May 3, 2022, we have no series of preferred securities that are eligible for redemption, at our option and with 30 days’ notice. See Note 9 to our March 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements for the redemption dates of all of our series of preferred shares. Redemption of such preferred shares will depend upon many factors, including the rate at which we could issue replacement preferred securities. None of our preferred securities are redeemable at the option of the holders.
Repurchases of Common Shares: Our Board has authorized management to repurchase up to 35,000,000 of our common shares on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not repurchase any of our common shares. From the inception of the repurchase program through May 3, 2022, we have repurchased a total of 23,721,916 common shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $679.1 million. Future levels of common share repurchases will be dependent upon our available capital, investment alternatives and the trading price of our common shares.

ITEM 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
To limit our exposure to market risk, we are capitalized primarily with preferred and common equity. Our preferred shares are redeemable at our option generally five years after issuance, but the holder has no redemption option. Our debt is our only market-risk sensitive portion of our capital structure, which totals approximately $7.4 billion at March 31, 2022.
The fair value of our debt at March 31, 2022 is approximately $7.1 billion. The table below summarizes the annual maturities of our debt, which had a weighted average effective rate of 1.8% at March 31, 2022. See Note 7 to our March 31, 2022 consolidated financial statements for further information regarding our debt (amounts in thousands).

Debt $502,246$19,219$811,272$269,124$1,150,138$4,734,966$7,486,965
We have foreign currency exposure at March 31, 2022 related to (i) our investment in Shurgard, with a book value of $313.3 million, and a fair value of $2.0 billion based upon the closing price of Shurgard’s stock on March 31, 2022, and (ii) €1.5 billion ($1.7 billion) of Euro-denominated unsecured notes payable, providing a natural hedge against the fair value of our investment in Shurgard.
ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures
Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in accordance with SEC guidelines and that such information is communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures in reaching that level of reasonable assurance. We also have investments in certain unconsolidated real estate entities and because we do not control these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable assurance level.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
45


Part II.        OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1.    Legal Proceedings
We are a party to various legal proceedings and subject to various claims and complaints; however, we believe that the likelihood of these contingencies resulting in a material loss to the Company, either individually or in the aggregate, is remote.
ITEM 1A.    Risk Factors
In addition to the other information in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 2021, in Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, and in our other filings with the SEC. These factors may materially affect our business, financial condition and operating results. There have been no material changes to the risk factors relating to the Company disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
In addition, in considering the forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and elsewhere, you should refer to the qualifications and limitations on our forward-looking statements that are described in Forward Looking Statements at the beginning of Part I, Item 2 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
ITEM 2.    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Common Share Repurchases
Our Board has authorized management to repurchase up to 35,000,000 of our common shares on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. From the inception of the repurchase program through May 3, 2022, we have repurchased a total of 23,721,916 common shares (all purchased prior to 2010) at an aggregate cost of approximately $679.1 million. Our common share repurchase program does not have an expiration date and there are 11,278,084 common shares that may yet be repurchased under our repurchase program as of March 31, 2022. We have no current plans to repurchase shares; however, future levels of common share repurchases will be dependent upon our available capital, investment alternatives, and the trading price of our common shares.
