As of September 30, 2019, the Company had five joint venture development properties under construction. The Company anticipates investing a total of $131.9 million related to these projects and had invested $54.2 million of that total as of September 30, 2019. These stores are located in New York (2), Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Virginia and are expected to open at various times between the fourth quarter of 2019 and the second quarter of 2021.

   

Third-Party Management

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s third-party management program included 652 stores totaling 43.1 million square feet. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, the Company added 48 stores and 153 stores, respectively, to its third-party management program.

 

Same-Store Results

 

The Company’s same-store portfolio at September 30, 2019 included 467 stores containing approximately 32.4 million rentable square feet, or approximately 89.3% of the aggregate rentable square feet of the Company’s 519 owned stores.  These same-store properties represented approximately 90.9% of property net operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2019.

 

Same-store physical occupancy as of September 30, 2019 and 2018 was 92.5%. Same-store revenues for the third quarter of 2019 increased 1.5% and same-store operating expenses increased 5.3% from the same quarter in 2018. Same-store net operating income increased 0.1%, as compared with the same period in 2018.

 

Operating Results

 

As of September 30, 2019, the Company’s total owned portfolio included 519 stores containing 36.3 million rentable square feet and had a physical occupancy of 90.6%.

 

Revenues increased $13.2 million and property operating expenses increased $4.7 million in the third quarter of 2019, as compared with the same period in 2018.  Increases in revenues were primarily attributable to increased net effective rents in the 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 property taxes and increased expenses associated with newly acquired or developed stores.

Interest expense increased from $15.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2018 to $18.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019, an increase of $3.0 million. The increase is attributable to a higher amount of outstanding debt and higher interest rates during the 2019 period. To fund a portion of the Company’s growth, the average debt balance during the three months ended September 30, 2019 increased approximately $196 million from the same period in 2018 from $1,656 million to $1,852 million. The weighted average effective interest rate on our outstanding debt increased from 3.91% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 to 4.05% for the three months ended September 30, 2019. 

 

Financing Activity

 

During the third quarter, the Company sold 1.8 million common shares of beneficial interest through its “at-the-market” equity program (“ATM”) at an average sales price of $34.93 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $61.2 million, after deducting offering costs. As of September 30, 2019, the Company had 4.6 million shares available for issuance under the existing equity distribution agreements.

 

On October 11, 2019, the Operating Partnership issued $350 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured senior notes due February 15, 2030 that bear interest at a rate of 3.00% per annum (the “2030 Notes”). The 2030 Notes were priced at 99.623% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 3.043%. Net proceeds from the offering were used to repay all the outstanding indebtedness incurred under our unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in June 2024. The remaining net proceeds from the offering will be used for working capital and general corporate purposes.

 

Quarterly Dividend

 

On July 23, 2019, the Company declared a dividend of $0.32 per common share. The dividend was paid on October 15, 2019 to common shareholders of record on October 1, 2019.

 

2019 Financial Outlook

 

“Utilizing our investment-grade balance sheet, we raised over $400 million of attractively priced capital since the start of the third quarter through ATM equity issuances and our sixth senior note offering with an interest rate of 3.0%,” commented Tim Martin, Chief Financial Officer. “As a result of our capital markets activity and third quarter results, we are adjusting estimates and various guidance assumptions for 2019.”

 

Fully diluted FFO per share, as adjusted, for 2019 will be between $1.67 and $1.69 (previously $1.66 to $1.69) and fully diluted earnings per share for the year will be between $0.86 and $0.88 (previously $0.85 to $0.88). Changes to the underlying assumptions for 2019 guidance are detailed in the table below. 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 2019, the same store pool consists of 467 properties totaling 32.4 million rentable 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 secure storage space for residential and commercial customers.  According to the 2019 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 and restated, 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, loan procurement amortization expense – early repayment 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): gains from sale 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.

 

 

Third Quarter 2019

Picture 10 

Page  5

 

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.
