Strategic Storage Trust II, Inc. Reports 2018 Third Quarter Results

LADERA RANCH, CA – November 19, 2018 – Strategic Storage Trust II, Inc. (“SST II”) announced increases in total revenues and net operating income (“NOI”), as well as increases in same-store results, including revenues, NOI and annualized revenue per occupied square foot, as part of its overall operating results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.

“Our results for 2018 kept pace with our expectations, with strong performance from the Southern California and Las Vegas markets,” said H. Michael Schwartz, CEO and chairman of the board of directors of SST II. “Additionally, we are excited for the opportunity to consolidate Strategic Storage Growth Trust, Inc. with SST II in early 2019. The SSGT portfolio will infuse SST II with a key growth driver, along with adding assets in strategic SST II markets for further economies of scale. The combined entities will create a portfolio of over 100 properties with combined value well in excess of $1 billion.”

Third Quarter 2018 Highlights:

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018 Highlights:

Potential Merger

On October 1, 2018, SST II entered into a definitive merger agreement with Strategic Storage Growth Trust, Inc. (“SSGT”), pursuant to which SSGT will merge with and into a wholly-owned subsidiary of SST II. Under the merger agreement, SST II will pay SSGT’s stockholders a purchase price of $12.00 per share in cash, which represents a total

purchase price of approximately $340 million, including current outstanding SSGT debt to be assumed or repaid as of September 30, 2018. The merger agreement was negotiated on behalf of SST II by an independent special committee of SST II’s board of directors, which was formed to conduct a review of the merger.

The special committee of SST II’s board of directors, the SST II board of directors, an independent special committee of SSGT’s board of directors, and the SSGT board of directors have each approved the merger agreement.

Assuming all of the conditions in the merger agreement are satisfied and the merger is consummated in accordance with the terms in the merger agreement, SST II will acquire all of the real estate owned by SSGT, currently consisting of 28 operating self storage facilities located in 10 states and in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada, and comprising an aggregate approximately 19,000 self storage units and approximately 2.1 million net rentable square feet of storage space. Additionally, SSGT owns one development property in the Greater Toronto Area which will be comprised of approximately 900 self storage units and 85,000 net rentable square feet of storage space once completed. SST II will also obtain the rights to acquire one self storage facilities currently under contract with SSGT.

The merger is expected to close during the first quarter of 2019, subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval of SSGT’s stockholders, who will vote on the transaction at a special meeting on a date to be announced. The transaction is not contingent on receipt of financing by SST II. Under specified circumstances set forth in the merger agreement, SST II will be required to pay SSGT a termination fee of $9.6 million if SST II fails to close the transaction, and SSGT will be required to pay SST II a termination fee of $9.6 million if SSGT terminates the merger agreement in connection with a superior proposal that arises following the go-shop period. In addition, the Merger Agreement provides for customary expense reimbursement under specified circumstances set forth in the Merger Agreement.

Quarterly Distributions

On September 20, 2018, our board of directors declared a distribution rate for the fourth quarter of 2018 of approximately $0.001644 per day per share on the outstanding shares of common stock payable to both Class A and Class T stockholders of record of such shares as shown on our books at the close of business on each day during the period, commencing on October 1, 2018 and continuing on each day thereafter through and including December 31, 2018. In connection with this distribution, after the stockholder servicing fee is paid, approximately $0.0014 per day will be paid per Class T share.  Such distributions payable to each stockholder of record during a month will be paid the following month.

Subsequent Events

Canadian Debt Refinancing

On October 11, 2018, SST II, through 10 special purpose entities owned by our operating partnership, entered into a loan agreement with Citibank, N.A. (“Citibank”), as lender. Under the terms of the loan, SST II has a maximum borrowing capacity of $112 million CAD, of which SST II immediately borrowed $99.3 million CAD. The initial proceeds were primarily used to pay off all of the existing loans encumbering SST II’s properties located in the greater Toronto, Canada metropolitan area, all of which now serve as collateral under the Canadian Citibank loan agreement. SST II also has the right to receive future advances in the aggregate amount of up to $12.7 million CAD, subject to certain conditions as set forth in the loan agreement.

The Canadian Citibank loan agreement is a term loan that has a maturity date of October 9, 2020, which may, in certain circumstances, be extended at SST II’s option for three consecutive terms of one year each. Monthly payments are interest-only, with the full principal amount becoming due and payable on the maturity date. In general, the amounts outstanding bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of the “CDOR” (as defined in the loan agreement) and 2.25%. As of October 11, 2018, the interest rate was approximately 4.1%. In addition, pursuant to the requirements of the Canadian Citibank loan agreement, SST II purchased an interest rate cap with a notional amount of $99.3 million, with an effective date of October 11, 2018, whereby the CDOR is capped at 3.00% through October 15, 2021.

Extension of Amended KeyBank Credit Facility

On October 29, 2018, SST II amended its Amended KeyBank Credit Facility to extend the maturity date from December 22, 2018 to February 20, 2019 in order to facilitate financing for the potential merger with SSGT. Pursuant to this amendment, SST II also reduced the maximum borrowing capacity from $145 million to $110 million. SST II is in the process of negotiating new loans in order to finance the Mergers, which would include the financing of the SSGT properties,

the refinancing of certain of SST II’s existing properties and the payoff of certain of SST II’s existing loans including the Amended KeyBank Credit Facility.

NON-GAAP MEASURE – COMPUTATION OF MODIFIED FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS

(Unaudited)

SST II’s results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 have been impacted by an increase in same-store net operating income and SST II’s acquisitions, offset by increased interest and general and administrative expenses.

Non-cash Items Included in Net Loss:

Provided below is additional information related to selected non-cash items included in net loss above, which may be helpful in assessing SST II’s operating results:

NON-GAAP MEASURE – COMPUTATION OF SAME-STORE OPERATING RESULTS

(Unaudited)

The following table sets forth operating data for SST II’s same-store facilities (those properties included in the consolidated results of operations since July 1, 2017 excluding Oakville I, Centennial, and Granite which were lease-up facilities for the three months ended September 30, 2017) for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. SST II considers the following data to be meaningful as this allows for the comparison of results without the effects of acquisition or development activity.

N/M Not meaningful

SST II’s increase in same-store revenue of approximately $0.2 million was primarily the result of increased annualized revenue per occupied square foot of approximately 6.2%, net of decreased average physical occupancy of approximately 4.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 over the three months ended September 30, 2017. Contributing to the increase was approximately $0.4 million of tenant insurance related revenue.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss, as presented on our consolidated statements of operations, to property operating income for the periods indicated:

NON-GAAP MEASURE – COMPUTATION OF SAME-STORE OPERATING RESULTS

(Unaudited)

The following table sets forth operating data for SST II’s same-store facilities (those properties included in the consolidated results of operations since January 1, 2017, excluding Oakville I, which was a lease-up facility during 2017) for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. SST II considers the following data to be meaningful as this allows for the comparison of results without the effects of acquisition or development activity.

N/M Not meaningful

SST II’s increase in same-store revenue of approximately $2.1 million was primarily the result of increased revenue per occupied square foot of approximately 9.9% net of decreased average physical occupancy of approximately 4.5% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 over the nine months ended September 30, 2017. Contributing to the increase was approximately $1.0 million of tenant insurance related revenue.

SST II’s same-store property operating expenses increased by approximately $0.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017 primarily due to an increase in advertising expenses and property management fees resulting from an increase in total revenue partially offset by a decrease in payroll.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net loss, as presented on our consolidated statements of operations, to property operating income for the periods indicated:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING NOI, FFO, and MFFO

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

NOI is a non-GAAP measure that SST II defines as net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, generated from properties before corporate general and administrative expenses, costs incurred in connection with the property management change, asset management fees, interest expense, depreciation, amortization, acquisition expenses and other non-property related expenses. SST II believes that NOI is useful for investors as it provides a measure of the operating performance of its operating assets because NOI excludes certain items that are not associated with the ongoing operation of the properties. Additionally, SST II believes that NOI (also referred to as property operating income) is a widely accepted measure of comparative operating performance in the real estate community. However, SST II’s use of the term NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may have different methodologies for computing this amount.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”)

Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an industry trade group, has promulgated a measure known as funds from operations, or FFO, which SST II believes to be an appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a REIT. The use of FFO is recommended by the REIT industry as a supplemental performance measure. FFO is not equivalent to SST II’s net income (loss) as determined under GAAP.

SST II defines FFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the standards established by the White Paper on FFO approved by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, as revised in February 2004, or the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains or losses from sales of property and asset impairment write downs, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. SST II’s FFO calculation complies with NAREIT’s policy described above.

The historical accounting convention used for real estate assets requires straight-line depreciation of buildings and improvements, which implies that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Diminution in value may occur if such assets are not adequately maintained or repaired and renovated as required by relevant circumstances or other measures necessary to maintain the assets are not undertaken. However, SST II believes that, since real estate values historically rise and fall with market conditions, including inflation, interest rates, the business cycle, unemployment and consumer spending, presentations of operating results for a REIT using historical accounting for depreciation may be less informative. In addition, in the determination of FFO, SST II believes it is appropriate to disregard impairment charges, as this is a fair value adjustment that is largely based on market fluctuations and assessments regarding general market conditions which can change over time. An asset will only be evaluated for impairment if certain impairment indications exist and if the carrying value, or book value, exceeds the total estimated undiscounted future cash flows (including net rental revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and any other ancillary cash flows at a property or group level under GAAP) from such asset. Testing for impairment is a continuous process and is analyzed on a quarterly basis. Investors should note, however, that determinations of whether impairment charges have been incurred are based partly on anticipated operating performance, because estimated undiscounted future cash flows from a property, including estimated future net rental revenues, net proceeds on the sale of the property, and certain other ancillary cash flows, are taken into account in determining whether an impairment charge has been incurred. While impairment charges are excluded from the calculation of FFO as described above, investors are cautioned that due to the fact that impairments are based on estimated future undiscounted cash flows and that SST II intends to have a relatively limited term of operations; it could be difficult to recover any impairment charges through the eventual sale of the property. To date, SST II has not recognized any impairments.

Historical accounting for real estate involves the use of GAAP. Any other method of accounting for real estate such as the fair value method cannot be construed to be any more accurate or relevant than the comparable methodologies of real estate valuation found in GAAP. Nevertheless, SST II believes that the use of FFO, which excludes the impact of real estate related depreciation and amortization and impairments, assists in providing a more complete understanding of SST II’s performance to investors and to management, and when compared year over year, reflects the impact on SST II’s operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, general and administrative expenses, and interest costs, which may not be immediately apparent from net income (loss).

However, FFO or modified funds from operations (“MFFO”), discussed below, should not be construed to be more relevant or accurate than the current GAAP methodology in calculating net income (loss) or in its applicability in evaluating SST II’s operating performance. The method utilized to evaluate the value and performance of real estate under GAAP

should be considered a more relevant measure of operational performance and is, therefore, given more prominence than the non-GAAP FFO and MFFO measures and the adjustments to GAAP in calculating FFO and MFFO.

Changes in the accounting and reporting rules under GAAP that were put into effect and other changes to GAAP accounting for real estate subsequent to the establishment of NAREIT’s definition of FFO have prompted an increase in cash-settled expenses, specifically acquisition fees and expenses. Prior to January 1, 2018, when SST II adopted new accounting guidance, such costs were entirely expensed as operating expenses under GAAP. Subsequent to January 1, 2018, certain of such costs continue to be expensed. SST II believes these fees and expenses do not affect SST II’s overall long-term operating performance. Publicly registered, non-traded REITs typically have a significant amount of acquisition activity and are substantially more dynamic during their initial years of investment and operation. The purchase of properties, and the corresponding expenditures associated with that process, is a key feature of SST II’s business plan in order to generate operational income and cash flow in order to make distributions to investors. While other start-up entities may also experience significant acquisition activity during their initial years, SST II believes that publicly registered, non-traded REITs are unique in that they typically have a limited life with targeted exit strategies within a relatively limited time frame after the acquisition activity ceases. SST II has used the proceeds raised in SST II’s Offering, including SST II’s DRP Offering, to acquire properties, and expects to begin the process of achieving a liquidity event (i.e., listing of their shares of common stock on a national securities exchange, a merger or sale, the sale of all or substantially all of their assets, or another similar transaction) within three to five years after the completion of their Primary Offering, which is generally comparable to other publicly registered, non-traded REITs. Thus, they do not intend to continuously purchase assets and intend to have a limited life. The decision whether to engage in any liquidity event is in the sole discretion of SST II’s board of directors. Due to the above factors and other unique features of publicly registered, non-traded REITs, the Investment Program Association, or the IPA, an industry trade group, has standardized a measure known as MFFO, which the IPA has recommended as a supplemental measure for publicly registered, non-traded REITs and which SST II believes to be another appropriate supplemental measure to reflect the operating performance of a publicly registered, non-traded REIT having the characteristics described above. MFFO is not equivalent to net income (loss) as determined under GAAP, and MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if SST II does not ultimately engage in a liquidity event. SST II believes that, because MFFO excludes any acquisition fees and expenses that affect their operations only in periods in which properties are acquired and that they considers more reflective of investing activities, as well as other non-operating items included in FFO, MFFO can provide, on a going-forward basis, an indication of the sustainability (that is, the capacity to continue to be maintained) of their operating performance after the period in which they are acquiring their properties and once their portfolio is in place. By providing MFFO, they believe they are presenting useful information that assists investors and analysts to better assess the sustainability of their operating performance after their primary offering has been completed and their properties have been acquired. SST II also believes that MFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the publicly registered, non-traded REIT industry. Further, they believe MFFO is useful in comparing the sustainability of their operating performance after their primary offering and acquisitions are completed with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies that are not as involved in acquisition activities. Investors are cautioned that MFFO should only be used to assess the sustainability of SST II’s operating performance after their primary offering has been completed and properties have been acquired, as it excludes any acquisition fees and expenses that have a negative effect on SST II’s operating performance during the periods in which properties are acquired.

SST II defines MFFO, a non-GAAP measure, consistent with the IPA’s Guideline 2010-01, Supplemental Performance Measure for Publicly Registered, Non-Listed REITs: Modified Funds From Operations (the “Practice Guideline”) issued by the IPA in November 2010. The Practice Guideline defines MFFO as FFO further adjusted for the following items included in the determination of GAAP net income (loss): acquisition fees and expenses; amounts relating to straight line rents and amortization of above or below intangible lease assets and liabilities; accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments; non-recurring impairments of real estate related investments; mark-to-market adjustments included in net income; non-recurring gains or losses included in net income from the extinguishment or sale of debt, hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings where trading of such holdings is not a fundamental attribute of the business plan, unrealized gains or losses resulting from consolidation from, or deconsolidation to, equity accounting, adjustments relating to contingent purchase price obligations included in net income, and after adjustments for consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, with such adjustments calculated to reflect MFFO on the same basis. The accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums on debt investments, unrealized gains and losses on hedges, foreign exchange, derivatives or securities holdings, unrealized gains and losses resulting from consolidations, as well as other listed cash flow adjustments are adjustments made to net income (loss) in calculating cash flows from operations and, in some cases, reflect gains or losses which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized.

SST II’s MFFO calculation complies with the IPA’s Practice Guideline described above. In calculating MFFO, SST II excludes acquisition related expenses, the amortization of fair value adjustments related to debt, mark to market adjustments

recorded in net income related to their derivatives, and the adjustments of such items related to noncontrolling interests. The other adjustments included in the IPA’s Practice Guideline are not applicable to SST II for the periods presented. Acquisition fees and expenses are paid in cash by SST II, and they have not set aside or put into escrow any specific amount of proceeds from their offering to be used to fund acquisition fees and expenses. SST II does not intend to fund acquisition fees and expenses in the future from operating revenues and cash flows, nor from the sale of properties and subsequent re-deployment of capital and concurrent incurrence of acquisition fees and expenses. Acquisition fees and expenses include payments to SST II’s Advisor and third parties. Certain acquisition related expenses under GAAP are considered operating expenses and as expenses included in the determination of net income (loss) and income (loss) from continuing operations, both of which are performance measures under GAAP. All paid and accrued acquisition fees and expenses will have negative effects on returns to investors, the potential for future distributions, and cash flows generated by SST II, unless earnings from operations or net sales proceeds from the disposition of other properties are generated to cover the purchase price of the property, these fees and expenses and other costs related to such property. In the future, if SST II is not able to raise additional proceeds from their DRP offering or other offerings, this could result in them paying acquisition fees or reimbursing acquisition expenses due to their Advisor, or a portion thereof, with net proceeds from borrowed funds, operational earnings or cash flows, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or ancillary cash flows. As a result, the amount of proceeds available for investment and operations would be reduced, or may incur additional interest expense as a result of borrowed funds.

Further, under GAAP, certain contemplated non-cash fair value and other non-cash adjustments are considered operating non-cash adjustments to net income (loss) in determining cash flows from operations. In addition, SST II views fair value adjustments of derivatives and the amortization of fair value adjustments related to debt as items which are unrealized and may not ultimately be realized or as items which are not reflective of on-going operations and are therefore typically adjusted for when assessing operating performance.

SST II uses MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it in order to evaluate their performance against other publicly registered, non-traded REITs which intend to have limited lives with short and defined acquisition periods and targeted exit strategies shortly thereafter. As noted above, MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance if SST II does not continue to operate in this manner. SST II believes that their use of MFFO and the adjustments used to calculate it allows them to present their performance in a manner that reflects certain characteristics that are unique to publicly registered, non-traded REITs, such as their limited life, limited and defined acquisition period and targeted exit strategy, and hence that the use of such measures may be useful to investors. For example, acquisition fees and expenses are intended to be funded from the proceeds of SST II’s offering and other financing sources and not from operations. By excluding any expensed acquisition fees and expenses, the use of MFFO provides information consistent with management’s analysis of the operating performance of the properties. Additionally, fair value adjustments, which are based on the impact of current market fluctuations and underlying assessments of general market conditions, but can also result from operational factors such as rental and occupancy rates, may not be directly related or attributable to their current operating performance. By excluding such charges that may reflect anticipated and unrealized gains or losses, SST II believes MFFO provides useful supplemental information.

Presentation of this information is intended to provide useful information to investors as they compare the operating performance of different REITs, although it should be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO and MFFO the same way, so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. Furthermore, FFO and MFFO are not necessarily indicative of cash flow available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations as an indication of SST II’s performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operations, which is an indication of SST II’s liquidity, or indicative of funds available to fund SST II’s cash needs including their ability to make distributions to stockholders. FFO and MFFO should be reviewed in conjunction with other measurements as an indication of performance. MFFO may be useful in assisting management and investors in assessing the sustainability of operating performance in future operating periods, and in particular, after the offering and acquisition stages are complete.

Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any other regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments that SST II uses to calculate FFO or MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT or another regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the publicly registered, non-traded REIT industry and SST II would have to adjust their calculation and characterization of FFO or MFFO.
