Summary
Summary of the 10-Q filed October 29, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
Public Storage (PSA) reported its financial results for the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal year 2025.
For the third quarter, net income allocable to common shareholders increased by 21.2% to $461.4 milliona, or $2.62 per diluted share, compared to the same period in 2024. This growth was primarily driven by a significant foreign currency gain and an increase in self-storage Net Operating Income (NOI). For the nine-month period, net income allocable to common shareholders decreased by 13.7% to $1.1 billion, or $6.42 per diluted share.
This decrease was largely attributed to substantial foreign currency exchange losses, partially offset by an increase in self-storage NOI. The company continues to execute its growth strategy through acquisitions and development. During the first nine months of 2025, PSA acquired 74 self-storage facilities for $814.6 millionb.
Furthermore, the company is progressing with its solar energy initiative and a corporate transformation program aimed at improving efficiency. Liquidity remains strong, supported by substantial cash on hand, operating cash flow, and an undrawn credit facility, providing ample resources to fund ongoing operations, capital expenditures, and shareholder distributions.

05—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What were the main drivers of the change in net income for the nine-month period?
The decrease in net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, was primarily due to a significant increase in foreign currency exchange losses, largely associated with the company's Euro-denominated notes payable. This was partially offset by an increase in self-storage Net Operating Income (NOI).
How did the company's acquisition and development activities perform during the period?
During the first nine months of 2025, Public Storage acquired 74 self-storage facilities for $814.6 million and completed development and redevelopment activities costing $268.8 million, adding 1.1 million net rentable square feet. Net operating income from Acquired Facilities and Newly Developed and Expanded Facilities increased significantly, contributing positively to the company's overall performance.
What is the company's liquidity position and outlook?
Public Storage maintains a strong liquidity position. As of September 30, 2025, the company had $296.5 million in cash and equivalents. Additionally, it has a $1.5 billion revolving credit facility with approximately $1.48 billion available. The company expects to generate approximately $650 million in retained operating cash flow over the next twelve months. These resources are expected to be sufficient to cover upcoming debt repayments, capital expenditures, and dividend distributions.
How is the company addressing foreign currency fluctuations, particularly with its Euro-denominated debt?
The company's Euro-denominated unsecured notes payable expose it to foreign currency fluctuations. The significant losses reported in the nine-month period are primarily due to the change in the U.S. Dollar equivalent of these notes as the Euro depreciated against the U.S. Dollar. Public Storage also holds an investment in Shurgard, a European company, which provides a partial natural hedge against this exposure. The company plans to use proceeds from a recent Euro-denominated note issuance to refinance maturing Euro notes.
