News Release—November 3, 2011

 

CUBESMART DELIVERS 38% FFO PER SHARE GROWTH,

4.0% SAME-STORE REVENUE GROWTH AND 7.9% NOI GROWTH---

RAISES FULL-YEAR EARNINGS GUIDANCE

 

WAYNE, PA — (MARKET WIRE) — November 3, 2011 — CubeSmart (NYSE: CUBE) announced its operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011.

 

“This past quarter has been transformational for our Company as we introduced our new brand, achieved an investment grade credit rating on our balance sheet and continued the dramatic improvement in the quality of our portfolio through our acquisition and disposition activities,” said CubeSmart Chief Executive Officer Dean Jernigan.  “Not to be overshadowed however, our third quarter operating results demonstrate the strength of both storage fundamentals generally and our portfolio specifically.  Our top line grew from a combination of occupancy gains and increased rental rates to both new and existing customers.”

Funds from Operations

 

FFO for the third quarter of 2011 was $18.8 million, compared to $13.1 million for the third quarter of 2010.  FFO per share was $0.18 per share for the third quarter of 2011, compared to $0.13 per share for the same quarter of last year.

 

Storage Deluxe Acquisition

 

On October 24, 2011, the Company entered into a contract to acquire 22 Class A self-storage facilities containing approximately 1.6 million square feet from Storage Deluxe for total consideration of $560 million, including the assumption of $88 million of existing secured indebtedness. Following the closing of the transaction, the Company will be the largest owner, by number of assets, of self-storage facilities in New York City, with a total of 21 owned facilities.

 

CubeSmart’s President and Chief Investment Officer Christopher Marr said, “This transaction accelerates the transition that management began in 2008, further improving the overall quality of our portfolio, including its demographics, margins and rent per square foot. Going forward, more than 60% of our portfolio net operating income will be derived from our core markets, a 43% improvement from January 2008.  The New York, Miami, Washington DC, Chicago and Dallas metro areas will be our top 5 markets upon completion of this acquisition.”

 

On November 3, 2011, the Company closed on the purchase of the 16 unencumbered assets for an aggregate purchase price of $357.3 million.  The Company expects to close on the remaining 6 encumbered assets during the first quarter of 2012 for a purchase price of $202.7 million.

 



 

In connection with entering into the contract to acquire the Storage Deluxe portfolio, the Company completed a public offering of common shares and a public offering of Series A Preferred Shares.

 

On October 28, 2011, the Company completed its public offering of 23,000,000 common shares at a public offering price of $9.20, which reflects the full exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase 3,000,000 shares to cover over-allotments.  The Company received approximately $202.4 million in net proceeds from the offering after deducting the underwriting discount and other estimated offering expenses.

 

On November 2, 2011, the Company completed its public offering of 2,800,000 shares of its newly issued 7.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares at a price of $25.00 per share for net proceeds of approximately $67.5 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and other estimated offering expenses.  The Company granted the underwriters of the offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 420,000 shares.

 

CubeSmart President and Chief Investment Officer Christopher Marr continued, “Following the announcement of the transaction on October 24th, we have raised $270 million of permanent capital with our common and preferred share offerings.  We are focused on raising the balance of the permanent financing by the end of the year and expect that to be comprised primarily of unsecured bank term loans.”

 

Same-Store Results

 

The Company’s same-store pool at September 30, 2011 represented 332 facilities containing approximately 21.9 million rentable square feet and included approximately 93.9% of the aggregate rentable square feet of the Company’s 353 owned facilities.  These same-store facilities represent approximately 91.3% of property net operating income for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

 

The same-store physical occupancy at period end for the third quarter of 2011 was 80.8% compared to 77.7% for the same quarter of last year.  Same-store net rental income for the third quarter of 2011 increased 2.6%, same-store total revenues increased 4.0% and same-store operating expenses decreased 2.1% over the same quarter in 2010.  Same-store net operating income increased 7.9% compared to the same quarter of 2010.

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, same-store total revenues, operating expenses and net operating income increased 3.7%, 0.6%, and 5.8%, respectively, as compared to the results for the nine months ended September 30, 2010.  Average physical occupancy of the same-store pool for 2011 was 78.7% as compared to 76.8% during 2010.

 

Balance Sheet

 

At September 30, 2011, the Company had three $100 million unsecured term loans outstanding, maturing in 2013, 2016 and 2018, and the Company had no amounts drawn on its $250 million revolving credit facility.

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company repaid $2.7 million of secured loans that had maturity dates in 2011 and $30.7 million of secured loans that had maturity dates in 2014.

 



 

Investment Grade Rating

 

On July 13, 2011, the Company announced that its operating partnership, CubeSmart L.P., was assigned a Baa3 issuer rating by Moody’s Investors Service with a stable outlook.

 

Additional information regarding CubeSmart’s rating assignment can be found in the Moody’s press release dated July 13, 2011 available on Moody’s website at www.moodys.com.  None of the information on Moody’s website, including the press release, is incorporated by reference into or is otherwise a part of this press release.  The rating is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating agency and is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities.

 

Operating Results

 

The Company reported net income attributable to the Company of $6.8 million or $0.07 per common share in the third quarter of 2011, compared to a net loss attributable to the Company of $1.5 million or $0.02 per common share in the third quarter of 2010.  Total revenues increased $6.7 million and total property operating expenses increased $1.8 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to the same period in 2010. Increases in total revenues are attributable to increased occupancy levels in the same-store portfolio, revenues generated from property acquisitions and increased revenues generated from our third-party management business.  Increases in total property operating expenses are attributable to $2.2 million of increased expenses associated with newly acquired properties.

 

Interest expense decreased approximately $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared to the third quarter of 2010, primarily related to approximately $120 million of net mortgage loan repayments during the period from July 1, 2010 through September 30, 2011.

 

The Company’s third quarter results include $0.4 million of income from discontinued operations and $3.5 million of net gain on disposition of discontinued operations related to the disposition of 18 facilities during August 2011.

 

The Company’s 353 owned facilities, containing 23.3 million rentable square feet, had a physical occupancy at September 30, 2011 of 80.4% and an average physical occupancy for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of 80.4%.

 

Quarterly Dividend

 

On August 3, 2011, the Company declared a dividend of $0.07 per share. The dividend was paid on October 22, 2011, to shareholders of record on October 7, 2011.

 

2011 Financial Outlook

 

“Our third quarter performance was at the high end of our expectations entering the quarter across all of our key operating metrics.  Our year-to-date performance has again led to upward revisions in our internal growth assumptions and our FFO per share expectations,” said Timothy Martin, CubeSmart Chief Financial Officer. “Our fourth quarter and full year guidance contemplates the impact of today’s closing of the first $357.3 million tranche of our Storage Deluxe acquisition, as well as the impact of our recently closed sales of both common and

 



 

preferred shares.  Our guidance excludes the fourth quarter impact of acquisition related closing costs as well as period costs associated with financing and refinancing activity.”

 

The Company is adjusting its previously issued estimates as well as the underlying same-store assumptions and now expects that its fully-diluted FFO per share for 2011 will be between $0.62 and $0.63 (versus previous estimate of $0.60 to $0.63 per share), and that its fully-diluted net income per share for the period will be between $0.06 and $0.07.  The Company’s estimate is based on the following key assumptions:

 

·                  For 2011, the same-store pool consists of 332 assets totaling 21.9 million square feet

·                  Same-store revenue growth increased to a current assumption of 3.6% to 3.8% over 2010 (previously 3.5% to 3.8%)

·                  Same-store expense growth decreased to a current assumption of 0.75% to 1.25% over 2010 (previously 1.0% to 2.0%)

·                  Same-store net operating income growth increased to a current assumption of 5.25% to 5.75% over 2010 (previously 4.5% to 5.5%)

·                  General and administrative expenses of approximately $25.0 million to $26.0 million (previously $25.5 million to $26.5 million)

·                  Guidance does not include the fourth quarter impact of acquisition related costs or period costs associated with financing or refinancing activities

About CubeSmart

 

CubeSmart is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust. The Company’s self-storage facilities are designed to offer affordable, easily accessible and secure storage space for residential and commercial customers. According to the Self-Storage Almanac, CubeSmart is one of the top four owners and operators of self-storage facilities in the United States.

 

Non-GAAP Performance Measurements

 

FFO is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. The Company calculates FFO in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (the “White Paper”). The White Paper defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus 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 facilities. 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 it 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 property and depreciation, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make distributions.

 

We define net operating income, which we refer 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 entities, amounts attributable to noncontrolling interests, other expense, depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expense, and deducting from net income: income from discontinued operations, gains on disposition of discontinued operations, other income, 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 our facilities, and for all of our facilities in the aggregate. NOI should not be considered as a substitute for operating income, 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.
