Summary
Public Storage (PSA) reported strong financial performance for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, with net income allocable to common shareholders increasing to $750.0 million, or $4.32 per diluted common share, up from $624.2 million, or $3.61 per diluted common share, in the prior year period. This growth was primarily driven by a significant increase in self-storage net operating income, up $126.4 million, with improvements seen in both 'Same Store Facilities' and 'Non Same Store Facilities'. Funds from Operations (FFO) per diluted common share also saw a healthy increase, rising by 9.0% to $6.33 for the nine-month period, indicating robust operational performance and shareholder value generation. The company continues its strategic growth through acquisitions and development. During the first nine months of 2015, PSA acquired ten self-storage facilities for $97.9 million, and had plans to acquire eleven more subsequent to the reporting period. Additionally, PSA has a substantial development pipeline, with ongoing projects expected to add approximately 4.0 million net rentable square feet at a total cost of $507 million. While these development activities temporarily dilute earnings, they are viewed as beneficial for long-term growth. The company also reported strong liquidity, with over $1 billion in capital resources and ample capacity to fund its planned capital needs.
