    “The year got off to a strong start in the first quarter as we saw a continuation of positive trends from 2021,” commented President and Chief Executive Officer Christopher P. Marr. “We believe that demand trends remain constructive and will continue to support growth going forward.”

    Key Highlights for the First Quarter

    • Closed on one property acquisition for $32.0 million.
    • Added 33 stores to our third-party management platform during the quarter, bringing our total third-party managed store count to 664.

    Financial Results

    Net income attributable to the Company’s common shareholders was $38.2 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $41.7 million for the first quarter of 2021. EPS attributable to the Company’s common shareholders was $0.17 for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $0.21 for the same period last year.

    FFO, as adjusted, was $131.9 million for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $98.4 million for the first quarter of 2021. FFO per share, as adjusted, increased 23.4% to $0.58 for the first quarter of 2022, compared with $0.47 for the same period last year.

    Investment Activity

    Acquisition Activity

    During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company acquired one wholly-owned store in Maryland for $32.0 million. Additionally, the Company is under contract to acquire a store in New Jersey for $20.0 million. This acquisition is expected to close during the second quarter of 2022.

    Disposition Activity

    During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company sold the Los Angeles Athletic Club, which it purchased through its December 2021 acquisition of LAACO, Ltd. (“LAACO”), the owner of the Storage West self-storage platform, the Los Angeles Athletic Club and the California Yacht Club. The sales price for the Los Angeles Athletic Club was $44.0 million.

    Development Activity

    As of March 31, 2022, the Company had three joint venture development properties under construction. The Company anticipates investing a total of $92.3 million related to these projects and had invested $51.2 million of that total as of March 31, 2022. These stores are located in New York (2) and Virginia (1) and are expected to open at various times between the second quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023.

    Unconsolidated Real Estate Venture Activity

    The Company’s joint venture, HVP V, is under contract to purchase a property located in New Jersey for $35.2 million. This acquisition is expected to close during the second quarter of 2022.

    Third-Party Management

    As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s third-party management platform included 664 stores totaling 44.9 million square feet. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company added 33 stores to its third-party management platform.

    Same-Store Results

    The Company’s same-store portfolio at March 31, 2022 included 523 stores containing approximately 36.9 million rentable square feet, or approximately 84.6% of the aggregate rentable square feet of the Company’s 608 consolidated stores. These same-store properties represented approximately 85.9% of property NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2022.

    Same-store physical occupancy as of March 31, 2022 and 2021 was 94.1% and 94.2%, respectively. Same-store revenues for the first quarter of 2022 increased 15.6% and same-store operating expenses increased 2.9% from the same quarter in 2021. Same-store NOI increased 21.4% from the first quarter of 2021 to the first quarter of 2022.

    Operating Results

    As of March 31, 2022, the Company’s total consolidated portfolio included 608 stores containing 43.6 million rentable square feet and had physical occupancy of 92.6%.

    Revenues increased $49.7 million and property operating expenses increased $9.3 million in the first quarter of 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. Increases in revenues were primarily attributable to increased rental rates on our same-store portfolio as well as revenues generated from property acquisitions and recently opened development properties. Increases in property operating expenses were primarily attributable to a $6.4 million increase from stores acquired or opened in 2021 and 2022 included in our non-same store portfolio as well as increased expenses from same-store properties primarily related to property taxes.

    Interest expense increased from $19.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 to $22.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, an increase of $3.6 million. The increase was attributable to a higher amount of outstanding debt during the 2022 period partially offset by lower interest rates. To fund a portion of the Company’s growth, the average outstanding debt balance increased $0.87 billion to $3.20 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2022 as compared to $2.33 billion during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The weighted average effective interest rate on our outstanding debt for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was 2.84% and 3.39%, respectively.

    Net income was also impacted by transaction-related expenses associated with the acquisition of LAACO in December 2021. LAACO entered into severance agreements with certain employees, including members of their executive team, prior to the acquisition. In accordance with GAAP, and based on the specific details of the arrangements with the employees prior to closing, $9.2 million of these costs are considered post-combination compensation expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and are included in the component of other income (expense) designated as Other. The Company expects that an additional $1.1 million in severance costs will be expensed during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

    Financing Activity

    During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company did not sell any common shares of beneficial interest through its at-the-market (“ATM”) equity program. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had 5.9 million shares available for issuance under the existing equity distribution agreements.

    Quarterly Dividend

    On February 23, 2022, the Company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.43 per common share. The dividend was paid on April 18, 2022 to common shareholders of record on April 1, 2022.

    2022 Financial Outlook

    “The solid start to the year has improved our expectations for 2022 and led to an increase in our key guidance ranges,” commented Chief Financial Officer Tim Martin. “The transaction market remains active, and we remain focused on looking for opportunities to grow our portfolio in a manner that will create long-term value.”

    The Company estimates that its fully diluted earnings per share for the year will be between $0.95 and $1.00 (previously $0.93 to $1.00), and that its fully diluted FFO per share, as adjusted, for 2022 will be between $2.37 and $2.42 (previously $2.35 to $2.42). Due to uncertainty related to the timing and terms of transactions, the impact of any potential future speculative investment activity is excluded from guidance. For 2022, the same-store pool consists of 523 properties totaling 36.9 million square feet.

    About CubeSmart

    CubeSmart is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust. The Company's self-storage properties are designed to offer affordable, easily accessible and, in most locations, climate-controlled storage space for residential and commercial customers. According to the 2022 Self-Storage Almanac, CubeSmart is one of the top three owners and operators of self-storage properties in the United States.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. The April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (the “White Paper”), as amended, defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of real estate and related impairment charges, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

    Management uses FFO as a key performance indicator in evaluating the operations of the Company's stores. Given the nature of its business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company considers FFO a key measure of its operating performance that is not specifically defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Company believes that FFO is useful to management and investors as a starting point in measuring its operational performance because FFO excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of its operating performance such as gains (or losses) from sales of real estate, gains from remeasurement of investments in real estate ventures, impairments of depreciable assets, and depreciation, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. The Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies.

    FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company’s performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and is not a measure of liquidity or an indicator of the Company’s ability to make cash distributions. The Company believes that to further understand its performance, FFO should be compared with its reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP, as presented in its Consolidated Financial Statements.

    FFO, as adjusted represents FFO as defined above, excluding the effects of acquisition related costs, gains or losses from early extinguishment of debt, and other non-recurring items, which the Company believes are not indicative of the Company’s operating results.

    The Company defines net operating income, which it refers to as “NOI,” as total continuing revenues less continuing property operating expenses. NOI also can be calculated by adding back to net income (loss): interest expense on loans, loan procurement amortization expense, loss on early extinguishment of debt, acquisition related costs, equity in losses of real estate ventures, other expense, depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expense, and deducting from net income (loss): equity in earnings of real estate ventures, gains from sales of real estate, net, other income, gains from remeasurement of investments in real estate ventures and interest income. NOI is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

    Management uses NOI as a measure of operating performance at each of its stores, and for all of its stores in the aggregate. NOI should not be considered as a substitute for net income, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income statement or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes NOI is useful to investors in evaluating operating performance because it is one of the primary measures used by management and store managers to evaluate the economic productivity of the Company’s stores, including the ability to lease stores, increase pricing and occupancy, and control property operating expenses. Additionally, NOI helps the Company’s investors meaningfully compare the results of its operating performance from period to period by removing the impact of its capital structure (primarily interest expense on outstanding indebtedness) and depreciation of the basis in its assets from operating results.

    (1) For the three months ended March 31, 2021, loss on early repayment of debt relates to costs that are included in the Company's share of equity in earnings of real estate ventures.
    (2) Transaction-related expenses include severance expenses ($9.2 million) and other transaction expenses ($0.2 million). The predecessor company, LAACO, Ltd., entered into severance agreements with certain employees, including members of their executive team, prior to our acquisition of LAACO, Ltd. on December 9, 2021. These costs were known to us and the assumption of the obligation to make these payments post-closing was contemplated in our net consideration paid in the transaction. In accordance with GAAP, and based on the specific details of the arrangements with the employees prior to closing, these costs are considered post-combination compensation expenses. We expect that an additional $1.1 million in severance costs will be expensed during the three months ended June 30, 2022. Transaction-related expenses are included in the component of other income (expense) designated as Other.
