total revenues are primarily attributable to increased occupancy levels in the same-store portfolio and revenues generated from property acquisitions.  Increases in total property operating expenses are attributable to the impact of newly acquired facilities and an increase of 5.3% in same-store expenses.

2014 Financial Outlook

“Our expectations for 2014 reflect a continuation of positive fundamental trends that we have seen in recent periods,” stated Tim Martin, Chief Financial Officer. “Our 2014 guidance contemplates meaningful revenue growth as well as increases in weather-related costs and continued pressure on real estate taxes. Additionally, our balance sheet remains well-positioned to support our strategic growth initiatives through broad access to a variety of capital sources.”

The Company estimates that its fully diluted FFO per share, as adjusted, for 2014 will be between $0.98 and $1.02, and that its fully diluted net income per share for the period will be between $0.06 and $0.10. The Company’s estimate is based on the following key assumptions:

·                  For 2014, a same-store pool consisting of 346 assets totaling 23.2 million square feet

·                  Same-store net operating income (“NOI”) growth of 6.0% to 7.0% over 2013, driven by revenue growth of 5.0% to 6.0% and expense growth of 3.0% to 4.0%

·                  General and administrative expenses of approximately $27.5 million to $28.5 million

Due to uncertainty related to the timing and terms of transactions, the impact of future investment activity is excluded from guidance.  For 2014, the Company is targeting $150 million to $200 million of acquisitions.

The Company estimates that its fully diluted FFO, as adjusted, per share for the quarter ending March 31, 2014 will be between $0.23 and $0.24, and that its fully diluted earnings per share for the period will be between $0.00 and $0.01.

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 2014 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

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 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 real estate, gains on remeasurement of investment in real estate ventures, impairments of depreciable assets, and depreciation, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. Our 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 our 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 our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our 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 we believe are not indicative of the Company’s operating results.

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 ventures, 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

5

operations, other income, gain from remeasurement of investment in real estate ventures and interest income.  NOI is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP.

We use 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.
