1.Description of the Business

Public Storage (referred to herein as “the Company,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), was organized in 1980. Our principal business activities include the ownership and operation of self-storage facilities which offer storage spaces for lease, generally on a month-to-month basis, for personal and business use, ancillary activities such as merchandise sales and tenant reinsurance to the tenants at our self-storage facilities, as well as the acquisition and development of additional self-storage space.

At June 30, 2018,2019, we have direct and indirect equity interests in 2,4022,456 self-storage facilities (with approximately 160166 million net rentable square feet) located in 38 states in the United States (“U.S.”) operating under the “Public Storage” name.  name, and 0.9 million net rentable square feet of commercial and retail space.

We also own one self-storage facility31.3 million common shares (an approximate 35% interest) of Shurgard Self Storage SA (“Shurgard”, referred to in London, England and we haveprevious filings as “Shurgard Europe”), a 49% interest in Shurgard Europe,public company traded on Euronext Brussels under the “SHUR” symbol, which owns 227231 self-storage facilities (with approximately 1213 million net rentable square feet) located in seven Western European countries, all operating under the “Shurgard” name. We also have direct and indirectown an aggregate approximate 42% common equity interestsinterest in approximately 29PS Business Parks, Inc. (“PSB”), a REIT traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the “PSB” symbol, which owns 28 million aggregate net rentable square feet of commercial properties, primarily multi-tenant industrial, flex, and office space, located in seven states in the U.S. primarily owned and operated by PS Business Parks, Inc. (“PSB”) under the “PS Business Parks” name.  At June 30, 2018, we have an approximate 42% common equity interest in PSB.six states.

Disclosures of the number and square footage of facilities, as well as the number and coverage of tenant reinsurance policies (Note 12) are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (U.S.).

2.Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

We have prepared the accompanying interim financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) as set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), and in conformity with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In our opinion, the interim financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments, of a normal recurring nature, that are necessary to fairly present the interim financial statements. Because they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements, these interim financial statements should be read together with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.2018.

Certain amounts previously reported in our June 30, 2018 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the June 30, 2019 presentation, including separate presentation on our Statements of Cash Flows of our cash payments for real estate investments between cash paid for amounts incurred during the current period and amounts incurred during previous periods.

Consolidation and Equity Method of Accounting

We consider entities to be Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) when they have insufficient equity to finance their activities without additional subordinated financial support provided by other parties, or the equity holders as a group do not have a controlling financial interest. We consolidate VIEs when we have (i) the power to direct the activities most significantly impacting economic performance, and (ii) either the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the VIE. We have no involvement with any material VIEs. We

consolidate all other entities when we control them through voting shares or contractual rights. The entities we consolidate, for the period in which the reference applies, are referred to collectively as the “Subsidiaries,” and we eliminate intercompany transactions and balances.

We account for our investments in entities that we do not consolidate but have significant influence over using the equity method of accounting. These entities, for the periods in which the reference applies, are referred to collectively as the “Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities”,Entities,” eliminating intra-entity profits and losses and amortizing any differences between the cost of our investment and the underlying equity in net assets against

equity in earnings as if the Unconsolidated Real Estate Entity were a consolidated subsidiary. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated real estate entities represents our pro-rata share of the earnings of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities.

When we begin consolidating an entity, we reflect our preexisting equity interest at book value. All changes in consolidation status are reflected prospectively.

Collectively, at June 30, 2018,2019, the Company and the Subsidiaries own 2,4022,456 self-storage facilities in the U.S., one self-storage facility in London, England and three commercial facilities in the U.S. At June 30, 2018,2019, the Unconsolidated Real Estate Entities are comprised of PSB and Shurgard Europe.Shurgard.

Use of Estimates

The financial statements and accompanying notes reflect our estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be treated as a REIT, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, we do not incur federal income tax if we distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income each year, and if we meet certain organizational and operational rules. We believe we have met these REIT requirements for all periods presented herein. Accordingly, we have recorded no federal income tax expense related to our REIT taxable income.

Our merchandise and tenant reinsurance operations are subject to corporate income tax and such taxes are included in ancillary cost of operations. We also incur income and other taxes in certain states, which are included in general and administrative expense.

We recognize tax benefits of uncertain income tax positions that are subject to audit only if we believe it is more likely than not that the position would ultimately be sustained assuming the relevant taxing authorities had full knowledge of the relevant facts and circumstances of our positions. As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had no tax benefits that were not recognized.

Real Estate Facilities

Real estate facilities are recorded at cost. We capitalize all costs incurred to acquire, develop, construct, renovate and improve facilities, including interest and property taxes incurred during the construction period. We allocate the net acquisition cost of acquired real estate facilities to the underlying land, buildings, and identified intangible assets based upon their respective individual estimated fair values.

11


PUBLIC STORAGE

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

June 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

Costs associated with dispositions of real estate, as well as repairs and maintenance costs, are expensed as incurred. We depreciate buildings and improvements on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives ranging generally between 5 to 25 years.

When we sell a full or partial interest in a real estate facility without retaining a controlling interest following sale, we recognize a gain or loss on sale as if 100% of the property was sold at fair value. If we retain a controlling interest following the sale, we record a noncontrolling interest for the book value of the partial interest sold, and recognize additional paid-in capital for the difference between the consideration received and the partial interest at book value.

Other Assets

Other assets primarily consist of rents receivable from our tenants, prepaid expenses, restricted cash and restricted cash.right-to-use assets. See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Guidance” below.

Accrued and Other Liabilities

Accrued and other liabilities consist primarily of rents prepaid by our tenants, trade payables, property tax accruals, accrued payroll, accrued tenant reinsurance losses, lease liabilities, and contingent loss accruals when probable and estimable. See “Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Guidance” below. We believe the fair value of our accrued and other liabilities approximates book value, due primarily to the short period until repayment. We disclose the nature of significant unaccrued losses that are reasonably possible of occurring and, if estimable, a range of exposure.

Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Marketable Securities and Other Financial Instruments

Cash equivalents represent highly liquid financial instruments such as money market funds with daily liquidity or short-term commercial paper or treasury securities maturing within three months of acquisition. Cash and equivalents which are restricted from general corporate use are included in other assets. We believe that the book value of all such financial instruments for all periods presented approximates fair value, due to the short period to maturity.

Fair Value

As used herein, the term “fair value” is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Our estimates of fair value involve considerable judgment and are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in current market exchanges.

We estimate the fair value of our cash and equivalents, marketable securities, other assets, debt, and other liabilities by discounting the related future cash flows at a rate based upon quoted interest rates for securities that have similar characteristics such as credit quality and time to maturity. Such quoted interest rates are referred to generally as “Level 2” inputs.

We use significant judgment to estimate fair values of investments in real estate, goodwill, and other intangible assets. In estimating their values, we consider significant unobservable inputs such as market prices of land, market capitalization rates, expected returns, earnings multiples, projected levels of earnings, costs of construction, and functional depreciation. These inputs are referred to generally as “Level 3” inputs.

Currency and Credit Risk

Financial instruments that are exposed to credit risk consist primarily of cash and equivalents, certain portions of other assets including rents receivable from our tenants and restricted cash. Cash equivalents we invest in are either money market funds with a rating of at least AAA by Standard & Poor’s, commercial paper that is rated A1 by Standard & Poor’s or deposits with highly rated commercial banks.

At June 30, 2018,2019, due primarily to our investment in Shurgard Europe (Note 4) and our notes payable denominated in Euros (Note 6), our operating results and financial position are affected by fluctuations in currency exchange rates between the Euro, and to a lesser extent, other European currencies, against the U.S. Dollar.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Intangible assets are comprised of goodwill, the “Shurgard” trade name, acquired customers in place, and leasehold interests in land.

Goodwill totaled $174.6 million at June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. The “Shurgard” trade name, which is used by Shurgard Europe pursuant to a fee-based licensing agreement, has a book value of $18.8 million at June 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017.2018. Goodwill and the “Shurgard” trade name have indefinite lives and are not amortized.

Acquired customers in place and leasehold interests in land are finite-lived assets and are amortized relative to the benefit of the customers in place or the benefit to land lease expense to each period. At June 30,

2018,2019, these intangibles had a net book value of $14.0$16.8 million ($21.516.5 million at December 31, 2017)2018). Accumulated amortization totaled $33.1$29.2 million at June 30, 20182019 ($31.028.9 million at December 31, 2017)2018), and amortization expense of $8.8$8.4 million and $8.0$8.8 million was recorded in the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. The estimated future amortization expense for our finite-lived intangible assets at June 30, 20182019 is approximately $4.8$6.7 million in the remainder of 2018, $3.72019, $5.0 million in 20192020 and $5.5$5.1 million thereafter. During the six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, intangibles increased $1.3$8.7 million in connection with the acquisition of self-storage facilities (Note 3).

Evaluation of Asset Impairment

We evaluate our real estate and finite-lived intangible assets for impairment each quarter. If there are indicators of impairment and we determine that the asset is not recoverable from future undiscounted cash flows to be received through the asset’s remaining life (or, if earlier, the expected disposal date), we record an impairment charge to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s estimated fair value or net proceeds from expected disposal.

We evaluate our investments in unconsolidated real estate entities for impairment on a quarterly basis. We record an impairment charge to the extent the carrying amount exceeds estimated fair value, when we believe any such shortfall is other than temporary.

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually and whenever relevant events, circumstances and other related factors indicate that fair value of the related reporting unit may be less than the carrying amount. If we determine that the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the aggregate carrying amount, no impairment charge is recorded. Otherwise, we record an impairment charge to the extent the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the amount that would be allocated to goodwill if the reporting unit were acquired for estimated fair value.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

We evaluate other indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as the “Shurgard” trade name for impairment at least annually and whenever relevant events, circumstances and other related factors indicate that the fair value is less than the carrying amount. When we conclude that it is likely that the asset is not impaired, we do not record an impairment charge and no further analysis is performed. Otherwise, we record an impairment charge to the extent the carrying amount exceeds the asset’s estimated fair value.

No impairments were recorded in any of our evaluations for any period presented herein.

Casualty Loss

We record casualty losses for a) the book value of assets destroyed and b) incremental repair, clean-up, and other costs associated with the casualty.  Insurance proceeds are recorded as a reduction in casualty loss when all uncertainties of collection are satisfied. 

Revenue and Expense Recognition

Revenues from self-storage facilities, which are primarily composed of rental income earned pursuant to month-to-month leases, as well as associated late charges and administrative fees, are recognized as earned. Promotional discounts reduce rental income over the promotional period, which is generally one month. Ancillary revenues and interest and other income are recognized when earned.

We accrue for property tax expense based upon actual amounts billed and, in some circumstances, estimates when bills or assessments have not been received from the taxing authorities. If these estimates are

incorrect, the timing and amount of expense recognition could be incorrect. Cost of operations (including advertising expenditures), general and administrative expense, and interest expense are expensed as incurred.

Foreign Currency Exchange Translation

The local currency (primarily the Euro) is the functional currency for our interests in foreign operations. The related balance sheet amounts are translated into U.S. Dollars at the exchange rates at the respective financial statement date, while amounts on our statements of income are translated at the average exchange rates during the respective period. When financial instruments denominated in a currency other than the U.S. Dollar are expected to be settled in cash in the foreseeable future, the impact of changes in the U.S. Dollar equivalent are reflected in current earnings. The Euro was translated at exchange rates of approximately 1.1681.137 U.S. Dollars per Euro at June 30, 2018 (1.1982019 (1.144 at December 31, 2017)2018), and average exchange rates of 1.1921.124 and 1.0991.192 for the three months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively, and average exchange rates of 1.2101.130 and 1.0821.210 for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. Cumulative translation adjustments, to the extent not included in cumulative net income, are included in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

Comprehensive Income

Total comprehensive income represents net income, adjusted for changes in other comprehensive income (loss) for the applicable period. The aggregate foreign currency exchange gains and losses reflected on our statements of comprehensive income are comprised primarily of foreign currency exchange gains and losses on our investment in Shurgard Europe and our unsecured notes denominated in Euros.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements and Guidance

In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires revenue to be based upon the consideration expected from customers for promised goods or services.  In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which provides guidance with respect to the sale of real estate facilities.  The new standards permit either the retrospective or cumulative effects transition method.  We adopted the new standards effective January 1, 2018 utilizing the modified retrospective transition method applied to open contracts.  The new standards did not have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition, primarily because most of our revenue is from rental revenue from self-storage facilities, and included in self-storage facilities revenue on our statements of income, which the new standards do not address, and because we do not provide any material products and services to our customers or sell material amounts of our real estate facilities.  The remainder of our revenues are composed of elements that are either covered by the new standards but not impacted, or are not covered by the new standards.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making targeted changes to lessor accounting. The new standard requires a modified-retrospective approach to adoption and became effective for interim and annual periods beginning on January 1, 2019, requires2019. In July 2018, the FASB further amended this standard to allow for a modified retrospectivenew transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after,method that offers the option to use the effective date as the date of initial application with an option to use certain transition reliefand not adjust the comparative-period financial information. We adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019, withusing the new transition method, recording a cumulative effect through December 31, 2018 recorded through retained earnings.  total of $38.7 million in right of use assets, reflected in other assets, and substantially the same amount in lease liabilities, reflected in

accrued and other liabilities, for leases where we are the lessee (principally ground leases and office leases). The Company is currently assessinglease liabilities are recognized based on the impactpresent value of the guidanceremaining lease payments for each operating lease using each respective remaining lease term and a corresponding estimated incremental borrowing rate. We estimated the incremental borrowing rate primarily by reference to average yield spread on debt issuances by companies of a similar credit rating as us, and the treasury yields as of January 1, 2019. We had no material amount of leases covered by the standard where we are the lessor (principally our financial statements.  However, we do not believe this standard will have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition,storage leases) because substantially all of oursuch leases are month to month. For leases where we are the lessee or the lessor, we applied (i) the package of practical expedients to not reassess prior conclusions related to contracts that are or that contain leases, lease revenues are derived from month-to-month self-storage leases,classification and we do not have material amounts ofinitial direct costs, (ii) the hindsight practical expedient to determine the lease expense.

based awards.  We prospectively adopted this guidance effective January 1, 2018, with no material impact on our financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - Restricted Cash, which primarily requires the statement of cash flows to explain not only the change in cash and equivalents, but also the change in restricted cash.  The standard is effective on January 1, 2018, with early adoption permitted and requires the useassessing impairment of the retrospective transition method. The Company early adoptedright of use assets, and (iii) the easement practical expedient to not assess whether existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under ASC 840 are or contain a lease under this new standard. In addition, for leases where we are the lessee, we also elected to (a) not apply the new guidance during the fourth quarterstandard to our leases with an original term of 201712 months or less, and accordingly, net cash flows from investing activities decreased by $28,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the current presentation on the statement of cash flows.(b) not separate lease and associated non-lease components.

Net Income per Common Share

Net income is allocated to (i) noncontrolling interests based upon their share of the net income of the Subsidiaries, (ii) preferred shareholders, to the extent redemption cost exceeds the related original net issuance proceeds (an “EITF D-42 allocation”), and (iii) the remaining net income is allocated to each of our equity securities based upon the dividends declared or accumulated during the period, combined with participation rights in undistributed earnings.

Basic and diluted net income per common share are each calculated based upon net income allocable to common shareholders presented on the face of our income statement, divided by (i) in the case of basic net income per common share, weighted average common shares, and (ii) in the case of diluted income per share, weighted average common shares adjusted for the impact, if dilutive, of stock options outstanding (Note 10).

9.Related Party Transactions

B. Wayne Hughes, our former Chairman and his family, including his daughter Tamara Hughes Gustavson and his son B. Wayne Hughes, Jr., who are both members of our Board, collectively own approximately 14.3%14.5% of our common shares outstanding at June 30, 2018.2019.

At June 30, 2018,2019, B. Wayne Hughes and Tamara Hughes Gustavson together owned and controlled 5862 self-storage facilities in Canada.  These facilities operate under the “Public Storage” tradename, which we license to the owners of these facilities for use in Canada on a royalty-free, non-exclusive basis. We have no ownership interest in these facilities and we do not own or operate any facilities in Canada. If we chose to acquire or develop our own facilities in Canada, we would have to share the use of the “Public Storage” name in Canada with the facilities’ owners.Canada. We have a right of first refusal, subject to limitations, to acquire the stock or assets of the corporation engaged in the operation of these facilities if their owners agree to sell them. Our subsidiaries reinsure risks relating to loss of goods stored by customers in these facilities, and have received approximately $625,000$696,000 and $481,000$625,000 for the six months ended June 30, 20182019 and 2017,2018, respectively. Our right to continue receiving these premiums may be qualified.

10.Share-Based Compensation

Under various share-based compensation plans and under terms established by our Board or a committee thereof, we grant non-qualified options to purchase the Company’s common shares, as well as restricted share units (“RSUs”), to trustees, officers, and key employees.

Stock options and RSUs are considered “granted” and “outstanding” as the terms are used herein, when (i) the Company and the recipient reach a mutual understanding of the key terms of the award, (ii) the award has been authorized, (iii) the recipient is affected by changes in the market price of our stock, and (iv) it is probable that any performance conditions will be met.

We amortize the grant-date fair value of awards as compensation expense over the service period, which begins on the grant date and ends generally on the vesting date. For awards that are earned solely upon the passage of time and continued service, the entire cost of the award is amortized on a straight-line basis over the service period. For awards with performance conditions, the individual cost of each vesting is amortized separately over each individual service period (the “accelerated attribution” method).

In amortizing share-based compensation expense, we do not estimate future forfeitures in advance. Instead, we reverse previously amortized share-based compensation expense with respect to grants that are forfeited in the period the employee terminates employment.

See also “net income per common share” in Note 2 for further discussion regarding the impact of RSUs and stock options on our net income per common share and income allocated to common shareholders.

Stock Options

Stock options vest ratably over a three3 to five-year period,5years, expire ten years after the grant date, and the exercise price is equal to the closing trading price of our common shares on the grant date. Employees cannot require the Company to settle their award in cash. We use the Black-Scholes option valuation model to estimate the fair value of our stock options.

Outstanding stock option grants are included on a one-for-one basis in our diluted weighted average shares, to the extent dilutive, after applying the treasury stock method (based upon the average common share price during the period) to assumed exercise proceeds and measured but unrecognized compensation.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, we recorded $3.5$1.4 million and $7.0$2.2 million, respectively, in compensation expense related to stock options, as compared to $1.0$3.5 million and $2.8$7.0 million for the same periods in 2017.2018. Amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 include $1.8 million and $3.6 million respectively, in connection with the acceleration of amortization ofon grants to our CEO and CFO notedas discussed above.  Amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 reflect a reduction in compensation expense of $0.8 million related to stock options forfeited during the periods.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018,  200,0002019, 105,000 stock options were granted, 18,778106,755 options were exercised and 8,00010,000 options were forfeited.

Restricted Share Units

RSUs generally vest ratably over a five5 to eight-year period8years from the grant date. The grantee receives dividends for each outstanding RSU equal to the per-share dividends received by our common shareholders. We expense any dividends previously paid upon forfeiture of the related RSU. Upon vesting, the grantee receives common shares equal to the number of vested RSUs, less common shares withheld in exchange for tax deposits made by the Company to satisfy the grantee’s statutory tax liabilities arising from the vesting.

The fair value of our RSUs is determined based upon the applicable closing trading price of our common shares.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018,  71,5952019, 50,775 RSUs were granted, 35,24229,892 RSUs were forfeited and 113,88597,556 RSUs vested.

11.Segment Information

Our reportable segments reflect the significant components of our operations where discrete financial information is evaluated separately by our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”). We organize our segments based primarily upon the nature of the underlying products and services, as well as the drivers of profitability growth. The net income for each reportable segment included in the tables below are in conformity with GAAP and our significant accounting policies as denoted in Note 2. The amounts not attributable to reportable segments are aggregated under “other items not allocated to segments.”

Following is a description of and basis for presentation for each of our reportable segments.

Self-Storage Operations

The Self-Storage Operations segment reflects the rental operations from all self-storage facilities we own. Our CODM reviews the net operating income (“NOI”) of this segment, which represents the related revenues less cost of operations (prior to depreciation expense), in assessing performance and making resource allocation decisions. The presentation in the tables below sets forth the NOI of this segment, as well as the depreciation expense for this segment, which while reviewed by our CODM and included in net income, is not considered by the CODM in assessing performance and decision making. For all periods presented, substantially all of our real estate facilities, goodwill and other intangible assets, other assets, and accrued and other liabilities are associated with the Self-Storage Operations segment.

Ancillary Operations

The Ancillary Operations segment reflects the sale of merchandise and reinsurance of policies against losses to goods stored by our self-storage tenants, activities which are incidental to our primary self-storage rental activities. Our CODM reviews the NOI of these operations in assessing performance and making resource allocation decisions.

Investment in PSB

This segment represents our 42% equity interest in PSB, a publicly-traded REIT that owns, operates, acquires and develops commercial properties, primarily multi-tenant flex, office, and industrial space. PSB has a separate management team that makes its financing, capital allocation, and other significant decisions. In making resource allocation decisions with respect to our investment in PSB, the CODM reviews PSB’s net income, which is detailed in PSB’s periodic filings with the SEC, and is included in Note 4.SEC. The segment presentation in the tables below includes our equity earnings from PSB.

Investment in Shurgard Europe

This segment represents our 49% equity interest in Shurgard, Europe,a publicly held company which owns and operates self-storage facilities located in seven countries in Western Europe.

We are a party to various legal proceedings and subject to various claims and complaints; however, we believe that the likelihood of these contingencies resulting in a material loss to the Company, either individually or in the aggregate, is remote.

Insurance and Loss Exposure

We have historically carriedcarry property, earthquake, general liability, employee medical insurance and workers compensation coverage through internationally recognized insurance carriers, subject to deductibles. Our deductible for general liability is $2.0 million per occurrence. Our annual deductiblesdeductible for property losses areloss is $25.0 million for first occurrence with an aggregate ofper occurrence. This deductible decreases to $5.0 million once we reach $35.0 million in aggregate losses for multiple occurrences andthat exceed $5.0 million per occurrence thereafter.million. Insurance carriers’ aggregate limits on these policies of $75.0 million for property losses and $102.0 million for general liability losses are higher than estimates of maximum probable losses that could occur from individual catastrophic events determined in recent engineering and actuarial studies; however, in case of multiple catastrophic events, these limits could be exceeded.

We reinsure a program that provides insurance to our customers from an independent third-party insurer. This program covers customer claims for losses to goods stored at our facilities as a result of specific named perils (earthquakes are not covered by this program), up to a maximum limit of $5,000 per storage unit. We reinsure all risks in this program, but purchase insurance to cover this exposure for a limit of $15.0 million for losses in excess of $5.0 million per occurrence. We are subject to licensing requirements and regulations in several states. Customers participate in the program at their option. At June 30, 2018,2019, there were approximately 942,000970,000 certificates held by our self-storage customers, representing aggregate coverage of approximately $2.9$3.1 billion.

Construction Commitments

We have construction commitments representing future expected payments for construction under contract totaling $162.4$87.1 million at June 30, 2018.2019. We expect to pay approximately $134.6$45.2 million in the remainder of 20182019 and $27.8$41.9 million in 20192020 for these construction commitments.

13.Subsequent Events

Subsequent to June 30, 2018,2019, we acquired or were under contract to acquire (subject to customary closing conditions) 14ten self-storage facilities with 842,000815,000 net rentable square feet, for $95.2$86.5 million.  On July 13, 2018, we received a cash distribution from Shurgard Europe totaling $145.4 million.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our MD&A discusses our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), and are affected by our judgments, assumptions and estimates. The notes to our June 30, 20182019 financial statements, primarily Note 2, summarize our significant accounting policies.

We believe the following are our critical accounting policies, because they have a material impact on the portrayal of our financial condition and results, and they require us to make judgments and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.

Income Tax Expense: We have elected to be treated as a REIT, as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). As a REIT, we do not incur federal income tax on our REIT taxable income that is fully distributed each year (for this purpose, certain distributions paid in a subsequent year may be considered), and if we meet certain organizational and operational rules. We believe we have met these REIT requirements for all periods presented herein. Accordingly, we have recorded no federal income tax expense related to our REIT taxable income.

Our evaluation that we have met the REIT requirements could be incorrect, because compliance with the tax rules requires factual determinations, and circumstances we have not identified could result in noncompliance with the tax requirements in current or prior years. For any taxable year that we fail to qualify as a REIT and for which applicable statutory relief provisions did not apply, we would be taxed at the regular corporate rates on all of our taxable income for at least that year and the ensuing four years, we could be subject to penalties and interest, and our net income would be materially different from the amounts estimated in our financial statements.

In addition, certain of our consolidated corporate subsidiaries have elected to be treated as “taxable REIT subsidiaries” for federal income tax purposes, which are taxable as regular corporations and subject to certain limitations on intercompany transactions. If tax authorities determine that amounts paid by our taxable REIT subsidiaries to us are not reasonable compared to similar arrangements among unrelated parties, we could be subject to a 100% penalty tax on the excess payments. Such a penalty tax could have a material adverse impact on our net income.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: The analysis of impairment of our long-lived assets involves identification of indicators of impairment, projections of future operating cash flows, and estimates of fair values, all of which require significant judgment and subjectivity. Others could come to materially different conclusions. In addition, we may not have identified all current facts and circumstances that may affect impairment. Any unidentified impairment loss, or change in conclusions, could have a material adverse impact on our net income.

32


Accrual for Uncertain and Contingent Liabilities: We accrue for certain contingent and other liabilities that have significant uncertain elements, such as property taxes, workers compensation claims, tenant reinsurance claims, as well as other legal claims and disputes involving customers, employees, governmental agencies and other third parties. We estimate such liabilities based upon many factors such as assumptions of past and future trends and

29


our evaluation of likely outcomes. However, the estimates of known liabilities could be incorrect or we may not be aware of all such liabilities, in which case our accrued liabilities and net income could be misstated.

Accounting for Acquired Real Estate Facilities:We estimate the fair values of the land, buildings and intangible assets acquired for purposes of allocating the purchase price. Such estimates are based upon many assumptions and judgments, including (i) market rates of return and capitalization rates on real estate and intangible assets, (ii) building and material cost levels, (iii) comparisons of the acquired underlying land parcels to recent land transactions, and (iv) future cash flows from the real estate and the existing tenant base. Others could come to materially different conclusions as to the estimated fair values, which would result in different depreciation and amortization expense, gains and losses on sale of real estate assets, and real estate and intangible assets.

Overview

Our self-storage operations generate most of our net income, and we believe that our earnings growth is most impacted by the level of organic growth in our existing self-storage portfolio. Accordingly, a significant portion of management’s time is devoted to maximizing cash flows from our existing self-storage facilities.

Most of our facilities compete with other well-managed and well-located competitors and we are subject to general economic conditions, particularly those that affect the spending habits of consumers and moving trends. We believe that our centralized information networks, national telephone and online reservation system, the brand name “Public Storage,” and our economies of scale enable us to meet such challenges effectively.

In the last three years, there has been a marked increase in development of new self-storage facilities in many of the markets we operate in, due to the favorable economics of development which we have also taken advantage of. These newly developed facilities compete with many of the facilities we own, negatively impacting our occupancies, rental rates, and rental growth. This increase in supply has been most notable in Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, New York, and Portland.

We plan on growing organically as well as through the acquisition and development of new facilities and expanding our existing self-storage facilities. Since the beginning of 2013 through June 30, 2018,2019, we acquired a total of 276318 facilities with 19.422.1 million net rentable square feet from third parties for approximately $2.5$2.9 billion, and we opened newly developed and expanded self-storage space for a total cost of $1.1$1.5 billion, adding approximately 10.013.9 million net rentable square feet.

Subsequent to June 30, 2018,2019, we acquired or were under contract to acquire (subject to customary closing conditions) 14ten self-storage facilities, with approximately 0.8 million net rentable square feet, for $95.2$86.5 million. We will continue to seek to acquire properties; however, there is significant competition to acquire existing facilities and there can be no assurance as to the level of facilities we may acquire.

As of June 30, 2018,2019, we had additional development and redevelopment projects to build approximately 6.13.8 million net rentable square feet at a total cost of approximately $679.2$520.5 million. We expect to continue to seek additional development projects; however, the level of such activity may be limited due to various constraints such as difficulty in finding available sites that meet our risk-adjusted yield expectations, as well as challenges in obtaining building permits for self-storage activities in certain municipalities.

We believe that our development and redevelopment activities are beneficial to our businessgenerate favorable risk-adjusted returns over the long run.  However, in the short run, such activities dilute our earnings are diluted during the construction and stabilization period due to the three to four year period that it takes to fill up newly developed and redeveloped storage facilities and reach a stabilized level of cash flows offset by the cost of capital to fund the development cost, combined withas well as the related construction and development overhead expenses flowing throughincluded in general and administrative expense. We believe thisthe level of dilution incurred in the first six months of 2019 will increasecontinue at similar levels in the remainder of 2019.

On October 15, 2018, Shurgard Self Storage SA (“Shurgard”, formerly referred to in previous filings as “Shurgard Europe”) completed an initial global offering (the “Offering”) of its common shares, and beyond, becauseits shares commenced trading on Euronext Brussels under the “SHUR” symbol. In the Offering, Shurgard issued 25.0 million of an increased levelits common shares to third parties at a price of net rentable square feet being added€23 per share, for €575 million in gross proceeds. The gross proceeds were used to our portfolio duerepay short-term borrowings, invest in real estate assets, and for other corporate purposes. Our equity interest, comprised of a direct and indirect pro-rata ownership interest in 31.3 million shares, decreased from 49% to continued development and redevelopment efforts.approximately 35% as a result of the Offering. See “Investment in Shurgard” below for more information.

On September 18, 2017, we completed a public offering of $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes in two equal tranches (collectively, the “U.S. Dollar Notes”), one maturing in September 2022 bearing interest at 2.370%, and another maturing in September 2027 bearing interest at 3.094%.  This was our first public offering of debt, which should also serve to facilitate future offerings.  

As of June 30, 2018, our2019, we expect capital resources over the next year are expected to beof approximately $1.2$1.1 billion, which exceeds our current plannedcurrently identified capital needs over the next year of approximately $551.5$415.1 million. Our expected capital resources include: (i) $338.4$360.3 million of cash as of June 30, 2018,2019, (ii) $483.9$484.1 million of available borrowing capacity on our revolving line of credit, (iii) a  $145.4 million cash distribution received from Shurgard Europe on July 13,

Retained operating cash flow represents our expected cash flow provided by operating activities, less shareholder distributions and capital expenditures to maintain our real estate facilities.

Our plannedcurrently identified capital needs over the next year consist primarily of (i) $445.2 million of remaining spend on our current development pipeline, (ii) $95.2$86.5 million in property acquisitions currently under contract and (iii) $11.1$328.6 million of remaining spending on our current development pipeline, which will be incurred primarily in the next 18 months. We have no substantial principal repaymentspayments on existing debt.debt until 2022. Our capital needs may increase over the next year as we expect to add projects to our development pipeline and acquire additional properties. In addition to other investment activities, we may also redeem outstanding preferred securities or repurchase shares of our common stock in the future.

Results of Operations

Operating Results for the Three Months Ended June 30, 20182019

For the three months ended June 30, 2018,2019, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $306.4 million or $1.76 per diluted common share, compared to $348.3 million or $2.00 per diluted common share compared to $276.7in 2018 representing a decrease of $41.9 million or $1.59 per diluted common share in 2017 representing an increase of $71.6 million or $0.41$0.24 per diluted common share. The increasedecrease is due primarily to i)(i) a $12.3$27.2 million increase in self-storage net operating income (described below), ii)decrease due to the impact of foreign currency exchange gains and losses associated with our euro denominated debt, (ii) our $24.0 million equity share of a gain on sale of assets recorded by PS Business Parks in the three months ended June 30, 2018, iii) a $47.4 million increase due to the impact of foreign exchange gains and losses associated with our euro denominated debt and iv) a $14.6(iii) an $8.9 million allocation to our preferred shareholders associated with our preferred share redemptionsredemption activities in the three months ended June 30, 2017.2019. These increasesdecreases were offset partially by (iv) a $13.0$7.9 million increase in self-storage net operating income (described below), and (v) a reduction in general and administrative expense dueattributable to the acceleration of$7.8 million in incremental share-based compensation accrualsexpense in the three months ended June 30, 2018 for the planned retirement of our former CEO and CFO in 2018 as a result of their upcoming retirement and the reversal of share-based compensation accruals forfeited by retiring executives in 2017.CFO.

The $12.3$7.9 million increase in self-storage net operating income is a result of a $4.7$3.4 million increase in our Same Store Facilities (as defined below) and a $7.6$4.5 million increase in our Non Same Store Facilities (as defined below). Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 1.5%1.9% or $8.5$11.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 20182019 as compared to 2017,2018, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot. Cost of operations for the Same Store Facilities increased by 2.6%5.1% or $3.8$8.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 20182019 as compared to 2017,2018, due primarily to increased property taxes.taxes and higher marketing expenses. The increase in net operating income of $7.6$4.5 million for the Non Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of 137 self-storage facilities acquired in 2018 and 2019 and the fill-up of recently developed since January 2016. and expanded facilities.

Operating Results for the Six Months Ended June 30, 20182019

For the six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, net income allocable to our common shareholders was $608.2 million or $3.49 per diluted common share, compared to $636.1 million or $3.65 per diluted common share compared to $557.8in 2018 representing a decrease of $27.9 million or $3.20 in 2017 representing an increase of $78.3 million or $0.45$0.16 per diluted common share. The increasedecrease is due primarily to i) a $25.9 million increase in self-storage net operating income, ii)(i) our $34.9 million equity share of gains recorded by PS Business Parks in the six months ended June 30, 2018, iii)(ii) a $41.1 million increase due to the impact of foreign exchange gains and losses associated with our euro denominated debt and iv) a $14.6

The $25.9$15.3 million increase in self-storage net operating income is a result of an $11.2a $5.7 million increase in our Same Store Facilities and $14.7a $9.6 million increase in our Non Same Store Facilities. Revenues for the Same Store Facilities increased 1.8%1.7% or $20.0$20.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 20182019 as compared to 2017,2018, due primarily to higher realized annual rent per occupied square foot.

The increase in net operating income of $14.7$9.6 million for the Non Same Store Facilities is due primarily to the impact of 137 self-storage facilities acquired in 2018 and 2019 and the fill-up of recently developed since January 2016.and expanded facilities.

Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations

Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and FFO per share are non-GAAP measures defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts and are considered helpful measures of REIT performance by REITs and many REIT analysts. FFO represents GAAP net income before real estate depreciation and amortization, which is excluded because it is based upon historical real estate costs and assumes that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions. FFO also excludes gains or losses on sale of real estate assets and real estate impairment charges, which are also based upon historical real estate costs and are impacted by historical depreciation. FFO and FFO per share are not a substitute for net income or earnings per share. FFO is not a substitute for GAAP net cash flow in evaluating our liquidity or ability to pay dividends, because it excludes investing and financing activities presented on our statements of cash flows. In addition, other REITs may compute these measures differently, so comparisons among REITs may not be helpful.

For the three months ended June 30, 2018,2019, FFO was $2.65$2.57 per diluted common share, as compared to $2.31$2.65 per diluted common share for the same period in 2017,2018, representing an increasea decrease of 14.7%3.0%, or $0.34$0.08 per diluted common share.

For the six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, FFO was $5.02$5.09 per diluted common share, as compared to $4.65$5.02 per diluted common share for the same period in 2017,2018, representing an increase of 8.0%1.4%, or $0.37$0.07 per diluted common share.

We also present “Core FFO per share,” a non-GAAP measure that represents FFO per share excluding the impact of (i) foreign currency exchange gains and losses, (ii) EITF D-42 charges related to the redemption of preferred securities, and (iii) acceleration of accruals or reduction of accruals due to the upcoming retirementdeparture of our CEOsenior executives, and CFO and reversals of accruals with respect to share-based awards forfeited by retiring senior executive officers.(iv) certain other non-cash and/or nonrecurring income or expense items. We review Core FFO per share to evaluate our ongoing operating performance and we believe it is used by investors and REIT analysts in a similar manner. However, Core FFO per share is not a substitute for net income per share. Because other REITs may not compute Core FFO per share in the same manner as we do, may not use the same terminology or may not present such a measure, Core FFO per share may not be comparable among REITs.

Analysis of Net Income by Reportable Segment

The following discussion and analysis is presented and organized in accordance with Note 11 to our June 30, 20182019 financial statements, “Segment Information.” Accordingly, refer to the tables presented in Note 11 in order to reconcile such amounts to our total net income and for further information on our reportable segments.

Self-Storage Operations

Our self-storage operations are analyzed in twofour groups: (i) the 2,0482,165 facilities that we have owned and operated on a stabilized basis since January 1, 20162017 (the “Same Store Facilities”), (ii) 81 facilities we acquired after December 31, 2016 (the “Acquired facilities”), (iii) 138 facilities that have been newly developed or expanded, or that we are in the process of expanding or that we expect to commence expansion by December 31, 2019 (the “Newly developed and (ii) allexpanded facilities”) and (iv) 72 other facilities, which are newly acquired, newly developed, recently redeveloped, or are otherwise not stabilized with respect to occupancies or rental rates since January 1, 20162017 (the “Non Same Store Facilities”“Other non-same store facilities”). See Note 11 to our June 30, 20182019 financial statements “Segment Information,” for a reconciliation of the amounts in the tables below to our total net income.

(a)

Net operating income or “NOI” is a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization expense, which is based upon historical real estate costs and assumes that building values diminish ratably over time, while we believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions.  We utilize NOI in determining current property values, evaluating property performance, and in evaluating property operating trends.  We believe that investors and analysts utilize NOI in a similar manner.  NOI is not a substitute for net income, net operating cash flow, or other related GAAP financial measures, in evaluating our operating results.  See Note 11 to our June 30, 2018 financial statements for a reconciliation of NOI to our total net income for all periods presented.

See Note 11 to our June 30, 2019 financial statements for a reconciliation of NOI to our total net income for all periods presented.

Net operating income from our self-storage operations has increased 2.7%  and 2.9%1.7% in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively,2019, as compared to the same periods in 2017.2018. These increases are due to higherincreased revenues in our Same Store Facilities, as well as the acquisition and development of new facilities and the fill-up of unstabilized facilities.

Same Store Facilities

The Same Store Facilities represent thosethe 2,165 facilities that have been owned and operated at a stabilized level of occupancy, revenues and cost of operations since January 1, 2016.  We review the operations of2017. Accordingly, our Same Store Facilities which excludesexclude (i) facilities acquired after December 31, 2016, (ii) newly developed or expanded facilities, (iii) facilities where expansion is under construction or that we expect to commence by December 31, 2019, (iv) facilities whose operating trends are significantly affected by factors such as casualty events, as welland (v) facilities which were otherwise not stabilized at December 31, 2016 (such as recently developed orfacilities acquired facilities,from third parties before December 31, 2016). The composition of our Same Store Facilities allows us to more effectively evaluate the ongoing performance of our self-storage portfolio in 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2018.2019 and exclude the impact of fill-up unstabilized facilities, which can significantly affect operating trends. We believe the Same Store information is used by investors and REIT analysts in a similar manner.  The Same Store pool decreased from 2,052 facilities at March 31, 2018  to  2,048 facilities at June 30, 2018.  

The following table summarizes the historical operating results of these 2,0482,165 facilities (131.3(139.8 million net rentable square feet) that represent approximately 82%84% of the aggregate net rentable square feet of our U.S. consolidated self-storage portfolio at June 30, 2018.2019.

Realized annual rent per available square foot (“REVPAF”) is computed by dividing rental income, before late charges and administrative fees, by the total available net rentable square feet for the period. These measures exclude late charges and administrative fees in order to provide a better measure of our ongoing level of revenue. Late charges are dependent upon the level of delinquency and administrative fees are dependent upon the level of move-ins. In addition, the rates charged for late charges and administrative fees can vary independently from rental rates. These measures take into consideration promotional discounts, which reduce rental income.

Analysis of Same Store Revenue

Revenues generated by our Same Store Facilities increased by 1.5%1.9% and 1.8%1.7% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017,2018, due primarily to increases of 2.4%1.7% and 2.7%1.5% in realized annual rent per occupied square foot for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017 in realized annual rental income per occupied square foot. 2018.

Year-over-year growth in our Same Store revenues has declined from 3.4% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016, to 1.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to the same period in 2017.  Growth trends decelerated throughout 2017 and the first six months of 2018, with year over year revenue growth at 2.4% for the three months ended September 30, 2017, 2.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2018.  We are experiencingis lower than long-term historical averages due to softness in demand in substantially all offor our major markets,storage space, which has led to lower move-in volumes combined with a lack of pricing power with respect torental rates for new tenants.tenants (see below). We attribute some of this softness to local economic conditions and, in some markets most notably Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, and New York and Portland, increased supply of newly constructed self-storage facilities.

Same Store weighted average square foot occupancy wasremained strong at 94.0% and 93.1% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively, as compared to 94.6%  and 93.8% for the same periods in 2017, as move-out volume declined93.2% in the three and six months ended June 30, 20182019, respectively, as compared to 93.8% and 93.0% for the same periods in 2017, partially offset by lower move-in volume.    2018.

We believe that high occupancies help maximize our rental income. We seek to maintain a weighted average square foot occupancy level of at least 90%, by regularly adjusting the rental rates and promotions offered to attract new tenants as well as adjusting our marketing efforts on the Internet and other channels in order to generate sufficient move-in volume to replace tenants that vacate.

Increasing rental rates to existing tenants, generally on an annual basis, is a key component of our revenue growth.  We determine the level of rental increases based upon our expectations regarding the impact of existing tenant rate increases on incremental move-outs.  Rental rate increases to existing tenants in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 have been similar to the same periods in 2017, and we expect rate increases to existing tenants in the remainder of 2018 to be similar to the same period in 2017. 

Annual contract rent per occupied foot increased 1.7% from June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018, as compared to a 3.1% increase from December 31, 2016 to December 31, 2017.  These year-over-year increases were primarily driven by annual rate increases given to existing tenants, partially offset by the net impact of replacing vacating tenants with new tenants with lower contract rates, or “rent roll down.”  The reductionfor customers moving in the year over year growth in annual contract rent per occupied foot from 3.1% at the beginning of the year to 1.7% at the end of the quarter is due primarily to continued rent roll down.

Annual contract rent for tenants who moved in decreased 3.4% to $14.17 per foot as compared to $14.67 for the same period in 2017, and the annual contract rent for tenants who moved out increased 2.3% to $16.17 per foot as compared to $15.81 per foot for customers moving out was $16.04 for each of the same period in 2017.    six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, and the related square footage for the space they moved out of was 48.5 million and 49.5 million, respectively.

In order to stimulate move-in volume, we often give promotional discounts, generally in the form of a “$1.00 rent for the first month” offer. Promotional discounts, based upon the move-in contractual rates for the related promotional period, totaled $18.5$19.6 million and $37.1$39.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, respectively, as compared to $21.5$21.0 million and $41.7$41.8 million for the same periods in 2017 and are recorded as2018. The decline in promotional discounts is due primarily to a reduction to revenue. lower volume of move-ins combined with lower average move-in rates.

Demand is higher in the summer months than in the winter months and, as a result, rental rates charged to new tenants are typically higher in the summer months than in the winter months. Demand fluctuates due to various local and regional factors, including the overall economy. Demand into our system is also impacted by new supply of self-storage space as well as alternatives to self-storage.

We increase rental rates to our long-term tenants (generally, those that have been with us for at least a year) generally once per year. As a result, the number of long-term tenants we have in our facilities is an important factor in our revenue growth. The level of rate increases to long-term tenants is based upon balancing the additional revenue from the increase against the negative impact of incremental move-outs.

Throughout 2018 and the first six months of 2019, we have had an increased average length of stay and fewer move-outs. The increased average length of stay contributed to an increased beneficial effect of rent increases to

41


existing tenants, due to more long-term customers that were eligible for rate increases. The extent to which these positive trends will continue in 2019 is uncertain at this time.

We believe rental revenue growth in the remainder of 20182019 will come primarily from continued annual rent increases to existing tenants. Our future rental growth will also be dependent upon many factors for each market that we operate in, including demand for self-storage space, the level of new supply of self-storage space and the average length of stay of our tenants.

We believe that the current trends in move-in, move-out, in place contractual rents and occupancy levels are consistent with continued moderate revenue growth in the remainder of 2018.2019. However, there can be no assurance of continued revenue growth, because current trends, when viewed in the short-run, are volatile and not necessarily predictive of our revenues going forward because they are subject to many short-term factors.  Such factors include initial move-in rates, seasonal factors, the unit size and geographical mix of the specific tenants moving in or moving out, the length of stay of the tenants moving in or moving out, changes in our pricing strategies,which cannot be predicted, such as the level of consumer demand and competition from newly developed facilities and the degree and timing of rate increases previously passed to existing tenants.

facilities. We are taking a number of actions to improve demand into our system, including (i) increasing marketing spend on the Internet, and (ii) reducing rental rates and continuing to offer promotional discounts to new tenants.  Even if these actions are successful in improving demand into our system, in at least the near term, we believe these actions may have a negative impact on our revenue trends due to lower initial rental rates.Internet.

We expect on-site property manager payroll expense to increase on an inflationary basis in the remainder of 2018.2019. We have been impacted by a tight labor market across the country, as well as increases in minimum wages in certain jurisdictions, and expect additional impacts in the remainder of 2019 as existing minimum wage increases become effective and new increases are enacted.

Supervisory payroll expense, which represents compensation paid to the management personnel who directly and indirectly supervise the on-site property managers, increased 1.1% and decreased 6.1% and 5.7%1.2% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017,2018, due primarily to lowerchanges in headcount.

Repairs and maintenance expense decreased 3.3% and increased 1.8%  and 0.2%3.4% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017.2018. Repair and maintenance costs include snow removal expense totaling $0.7$0.3 million and $2.8$3.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, respectively, as compared to $0.2$0.7 million and $2.2$2.9 million for the same periods in 2017.2018.

Marketing expense is comprised principally of Internet advertising, television advertising and the operating costs of our telephone reservation center. Advertising and sellingInternet advertising expense, comprised primarily of keyword search fees assessed on a “per click” basis, varies based upon demand for self-storage space, the quantity of people inquiring about self-storage through online search, occupancy levels, the number and aggressiveness of bidding competitors and other factors.

We expect moderatesimilar continued increases in Internet advertising and selling expense in the remainder of 2018.2019 as we seek to capture more customers for our space, and as cost per click for keyword search terms increases due to more aggressive keyword bidding competition from owners of newly developed facilities, nontraditional storage providers, as well as existing self-storage owners and operators.

Other direct property costs include administrative expenses incurred at the self-storage facilities, such as property insurance, telephone and data communication lines, business license costs, bank charges related to processing the facilities’ cash receipts, credit card fees, and the cost of operating each property’s rental office. These costs increased 1.9%6.2% and 3.6%5.0% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017.2018, due primarily to increased credit card fees as a result of a higher proportion of our revenues being collected through credit cards. We expect inflationary increases in other direct property costs in the remainder of 2018.2019.

Allocated overhead represents administrative expenses for shared general corporate functions which are allocated to self-storage property operations to the extent their efforts are devoted to self-storage operations. Such functions include information technology, human resources, operational accounting and finance, marketing, legal, and costs of senior executives (other than theour Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer,  (“CFO”), which are included in general and administrative expense). Allocated overhead decreased 0.3% and increased 7.4%  and 7.3%1.1% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2017, due primarily to increased information technology expenses.2018.

We believe that our geographic diversification and scale provide some insulation from localized economic effects and add to the stability of our cash flows. It is difficult to predict localized trends in short-term self-storage demand and operating results. Over the long run, we believe that markets that experience population growth, high employment, and otherwise exhibit economic strength and consistency will outperform markets that do not exhibit these characteristics.

Non Same StoreAcquired Facilities

The Non Same StoreAcquired Facilities at June 30, 2018 represent 35581 facilities that were not stabilized with respect to occupancies or rental rates since January 1, 2016, or that we did not own asacquired in 2017, 2018, and the first six months of January 1, 2016.2019. As a result of the stabilization process and timing of when these facilities were acquired, developed, or redeveloped, year-over-year changes can be significant.

Square footage at June 30, 2018 for the “other facilities” excludes 665,000 net rentable square feet of storage space that was demolished with respect to redevelopments that are in process.  Our current pipeline of $363.9 million in redevelopment projects will result in the demolishment of an additional 153,000 net rentable square feet of space, and build 3.9 million net rentable square feet of storage space.

(b)Revenues and cost of operations do not include tenant reinsurance and merchandise sale revenues and expenses generated at the facilities. See “Ancillary Operations” below for more information.

(c)Acquisition costs includes (i) $149.8 million paid for 22 facilities acquired from third parties, ii) $135.5 million cash paid for the remaining 74.25% interest we did not own in 12 stabilized properties owned by a legacy institutional partnership and iii) the $6.3 million historical book value of our existing investment in the legacy institutional partnership.

(c)

Other facilities include existing facilities for which we recently expanded their square footage at  a cost of $188.8 million.  We have not included these costs or the historical costs incurred to initially acquire or develop these 198 facilities in the table, as they would not be meaningful or consistent with the amounts for the acquired and newly developed facilities.

The facilities included above under “2017 acquisitions” include 22 facilities acquired from third parties, and(ii) $135.5 million cash paid for the remaining 74.25% interest we did not own in 12 stabilized facilities previouslyproperties owned by a legacy institutional partnership that we began consolidating effective December 31, 2017.

Forand (iii) the six months ended June 30, 2018, the weighted average annualized yield on cost, based upon net operating income, for i) the facilities acquired in 2016 was 5.6% and ii) the 22 facilities acquired in 2017 from third parties for $149.8$6.3 million was 4.9%.  The yield for the other facilities acquired are not meaningful due tohistorical book value of our limited ownership periodexisting investment in the case of facilities acquired in 2018 and our preexisting ownership interest in and management of the 12 stabilized facilities owned by a legacy institutional partnership.

We believe that our management and operating infrastructure allows us to generate higher net operating income from newly acquired facilities than was achieved by the previous owners. However, it can take 24 or more months for us to fully achieve the higher net operating income and the ultimate levels of net operating income to be achieved can be affected by changes in general economic conditions. As a result, there can be no assurance that we will achieve our expectations with respect to these newly acquired facilities.

We believe that our real estate development activities are beneficial to our business over the long run.  However, in the short run, development activities dilute our earnings due to the three to four year period to reach a stabilized levelThe facilities included above under “2017 acquisitions,” “2018 acquisitions,” and “2019 acquisitions” have an aggregate of cash flows and the cost of capital to fund development, combined with general and administrative expenses associated with development.  We believe this dilution will increase in the remainder of 2018 because of an increased level ofapproximately 5.3 million net rentable square feet, being added to our portfolio.including 0.7 million in each of Texas and Virginia, 0.5 million in each of Florida and Minnesota, 0.3 million in each of Nebraska and Ohio, 0.2 million in each of California, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, New York, North Carolina and South Carolina, and 0.9 million in other states.

Subsequent to June 30, 2018,2019, we acquired or were under contract to acquire (subject to customary closing conditions) 14ten self-storage facilities (two each in Georgia and Texas and one each in Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia) with 0.8 net rentable square feet for $95.2$86.5 million.  We will continue to seek to acquire properties; however, there is significant competition to acquire existing facilities

Analysis of Depreciation and therefore the dollar valueAmortization of acquisitions is unpredictable. Acquired Facilities

Depreciation and amortization with respect to the Non Same StoreAcquired Facilities for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 totaled $31.9$8.6 million and $61.3$5.2 million, inrespectively, and $15.4 million and $11.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as compared to $21.6 million $44.6 million for the same periods in 2017.respectively. These amounts include i)(i) depreciation of the buildings acquired or developed,buildings, which is recorded generally on a straight line basis over a 25 year period, and ii)(ii) amortization of cost allocated to the tenants in place upon acquisition of a facility, which is recorded based upon the benefit of such existing tenants to each period and thus is highest when the facility is first acquired and declines as such tenants vacate. With respect to Non Same Storethe Acquired Facilities owned at June 30, 2018,2019, depreciation of buildings and amortization of tenant intangibles is expected to total $58.0aggregate approximately $30.5 million and $4.6 million, respectively,in the year ending December 31, 2019. There will be additional depreciation with respect to new buildings that are acquired in the remainder of 2018.  2019.

(a)Represents the percentage change with respect to square foot occupancy and annual contract rent per occupied square foot, and the absolute nominal change with respect to all other items.

(b)Revenues and cost of operations do not include tenant reinsurance and merchandise sale revenues and expenses generated at the facilities. See “Ancillary Operations” below for more information.

(c)The facilities included above have an aggregate of approximately 15.6 million net rentable square feet at June 30, 2019, including 6.5 million in Texas, 2.4 million in California, 1.7 million in Florida, 1.3 million in Colorado, 0.6 million in North Carolina, 0.4 million each of Arizona, Minnesota and Washington, and 1.9 million in other states.

(d)These amounts only include the direct cost incurred to expand and renovate these facilities, and do not include (i) the original cost to develop or acquire the facility or (ii) the lost revenue on space demolished during the construction and fill-up period.

(e)We expect to add 2.7 million net rentable square feet to these facilities at an aggregate cost of approximately $331.6 million, not including (i) the original cost to develop or acquire the facility or (ii) the lost revenue on space demolished during the construction and fill-up period.

It typically takes at least three to four years for a newly developed or expanded self-storage facility to stabilize with respect to revenues. Physical occupancy can be achieved as early as two to three years following completion of the development or expansion, through offering lower rental rates during fill-up. As a result, even after achieving high occupancy, there can still be a period of elevated revenue growth as the tenant base matures and higher rental rates are achieved. Our earnings are diluted during the construction and stabilization period due to the cost of capital to fund the development cost, as well as the related construction and development overhead expenses in general and

51


administrative expense. Despite this short-term dilution, we believe that our development and expansion activities generate favorable risk-adjusted returns over the long run.

The facilities included under “Developed in 2013-2015” were opened in 2013, 2014, and 2015, and we believe they have reached stabilization at June 30, 2019. The annualized yield on cost, based upon the levelnet operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 10.1%.

The facilities included under “Developed in 2016 and 2017” and “Developed in 2018 and 2019” are not stabilized with respect to occupancy or revenues at June 30, 2019, and we expect continued growth in these facilities throughout 2019 and beyond as they continue to stabilize. The annualized yields that may be achieved on these facilities upon stabilization will depend on many factors, including local and current market conditions in the vicinity of acquisitions of facilitieseach property such as consumer demand and the level of new and existing supply. Accordingly, the 10.1% yield achieved on the facilities under “Developed in 2013 - 2015”may not be indicative of the yield on cost to be achieved on these facilities.

We have ten additional newly developed facilities in process, which will have a total of 1.1 million net rentable square feet of storage space and have an aggregate development cost totaling approximately $189.0 million. We expect these facilities to open over the next 18 months.

Expansions of Existing Facilities

The expansion of an existing facility involves the construction of new space on an existing facility, either on existing unused land or through the demolition of existing buildings in order to facilitate densification. The construction costs for an expanded facility may include, in addition to adding space, adding amenities such as climate control to existing space, improving the visual appeal of the facility, and to a much lesser extent, the replacement of existing doors, roofs, and HVAC.

The return profile on the expansion of existing facilities differs from a new facility, due to a lack of land cost, and there can be less cash flow risk because we have more direct knowledge of the local demand for space on the site as compared to a new facility. However, expansions involve the demolition of existing revenue-generating space with the loss of the related revenues, during the construction and fill-up period.

The facilities under “completed expansions” represent those facilities where the expansions have been completed at June 30, 2019. We incurred a total of $306.4 million in direct cost to expand these facilities, demolished a total of 0.9 million net rentable square feet of storage space, and built a total of 3.6 million net rentable square feet of new storage space.

The facilities under “expansions in process” represent those facilities where development is in process or that we expect to commence development in 2019. We have already demolished a total of 0.1 million net rentable square feet at June 30, 2019, we expect to demolish an additional 0.2 million net rentable square feet, and we expect to build a total of 2.7 million net rentable square feet of storage space for an aggregate direct development cost of $331.6 million.

Analysis of Depreciation and Amortization of Developed and Expanded Facilities

Depreciation and amortization with respect to the Developed and Expanded Facilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 totaled $13.4 million and $25.6 million, respectively, as compared to $10.5 million and $19.5 million for the same periods in 2018. These amounts represent depreciation of the developed buildings and, in the case of the expanded facilities, the legacy depreciation on the existing buildings. With respect to the Developed and Expanded Facilities completed at June 30, 2019, depreciation of buildings is expected to aggregate approximately $53.1 million in the year ending December 31, 2019. There will be additional depreciation of new buildings that are developed or expanded in the remainder of 2019.

Other non-same store facilities

The facilities under “Other non-same store facilities” represent facilities which, while not newly acquired, developed, or expanded, are not fully stabilized since January 1, 2017, due primarily to casualty events such as hurricanes, floods, and fires, as well as facilities acquired from third parties prior to January 1, 2017 that were recently developed or expanded by the previous owner.

The Other non-same store facilities have an aggregate of 5.4 million net rentable square feet, including 1.1 million in Texas, 0.8 million in Oklahoma, 0.7 million in California, 0.6 million in each of Ohio and South Carolina, 0.4 million in Florida and 1.2 million in other states.

The net operating income for these facilities increased from $11.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $11.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, the average occupancy for these facilities totaled 89.6% (87.9% for the same period in 2018), and the realized rent per occupied square feet totaled $13.11 ($13.48 for the same period in 2018).

Over the longer term, we expect the growth in operations of these facilities to be similar to that of our Same Store facilities. However, in the short run, year over year will vary due to the impact of the underlying events which resulted in these facilities being classified as non-same store.

Depreciation and amortization with respect to the other non-same store facilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, totaled $7.4 million and $14.6 million, respectively, as compared to $7.8 million and $15.8 million for the same periods in 2018. We expect depreciation for these facilities to approximate $29.2 million for the year ending December 31, 2019.

Tenant reinsurance operations:Our customers have the option of purchasing insurance from a non-affiliated insurance company to cover certain losses to their goods stored at our facilities. A wholly-owned, consolidated subsidiary of Public Storage fully reinsures such policies, and thereby assumes all risk of losses under these policies from the insurance company. The subsidiary receives reinsurance premiums, substantially equal to the premiums

53


collected from our tenants, from the non-affiliated insurance company. Such reinsurance premiums are shown as “Tenant reinsurance premiums” in the above table.

The subsidiary pays a fee to Public Storage to assist with the administration of the program and to allow the insurance to be marketed to our tenants. This fee represents a substantial amount of the reinsurance premiums received by our subsidiary. The fee is eliminated in consolidation and is therefore not shown in the above table.

Tenant reinsurance revenue increased from $31.0to $33.0 million and $60.9$64.6 million infor the three and six months ended June 30, 2017,2019, respectively, tofrom $31.6 million and $62.4 million duringfor the same periods in 2018, due primarily to an increase in our tenant base duewith respect to acquired, newly acquireddeveloped, and developedexpanded facilities.

Tenant insurance revenues increased $0.4 million in each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2018, with respect to the Same Store Facilities.

We expect future growth will come primarily from customers of newly acquired and developed facilities, as well as additional tenants at our existing unstabilized self-storage facilities.

Cost of operations primarily includes claims paid that are not covered by our outside third-party insurers, as well as claims adjustment expenses. Claims expenses vary based upon the level of insured tenants, and the level of events affecting claims at particular properties (such as burglary) as well as catastrophic weather events affecting multiple properties such as hurricanes and floods. Cost of operations decreased from $6.0were $6.7 million and $12.3$12.9 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017,2019, respectively, as compared to $5.9 million and $12.1 million duringfor the same periods in 2018.

Merchandise sales:We sell locks, boxes, and packing supplies at our self-storage facilities and the level of sales of these items is primarily impacted by the level of move-ins and other customer traffic at our self-storage facilities. We do not expect any significant changes in revenues or profitability from our merchandise sales in the remainder of 2018.2019.

Investment in Shurgard:Throughout all periods presented, we effectively owned, directly and indirectly 31.3 million Shurgard Europe:We have acommon shares, representing, prior to October 15, 2018, an approximate 49% equity interest in Shurgard. On October 15, 2018, Shurgard completed an initial global offering (the “Offering”), issuing 25.0 million of its common shares to third parties at a price of €23 per share (€575 million in Shurgard Europe’s net income.  gross proceeds), reducing our ownership interest to approximately 35%. Following the Offering, Shurgard’s shares trade on Euronext Brussels under the “SHUR” symbol.

At June 30, 2018,2019, Shurgard Europe’s operations are comprised of 227 wholly-ownedowned 231 self-storage facilities with 12approximately 13 million net rentable square feet. See Note 4 to our June 30, 2018 financial statementsShurgard pays us license fees for selected financial data on Shurgard Europe foruse of the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.  As“Shurgard” trademark, as described in more detail in Note 4 we receive trademark license fees from Shurgard Europe.  Onto our June 30, 2019 financial statements.

On July 13, 2018, Shurgard Europepaid a cash distribution totaling $296.7 million, of which we received our 49% equity share totaling $145.4 million.

In 2018, Shurgard acquired fiveeight self-storage facilities from third parties (five in Sweden and three in the United Kingdom) for $45.7an aggregate of $114.5 million, acquired one facility from us located in West London for $42.1 million in cash, and opened two newly developed facilities, one each in Sweden and Germany at an aggregate cost of $19.6 million.

Our equity in earnings from Shurgard Europe decreased $1.3totaled $4.1 million and $8.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to2019, respectively. Our equity in earnings from Shurgard totaled $5.4 million and $12.3 million for the same period in 2017, due primarily to our equity share of increased depreciationthree and income tax expense, offset partially by improved property operations.  For the six months ended June 30, 2018, our equity in earnings from Shurgard Europe were flat as compared to the same period in 2017, with our equity share of improved property operations offset by increased income tax and depreciation expense.

Unlike our operations in the U.S., Shurgard Europe operates through taxable corporations in each of the countries in which it does business and incurs tax expense.  Our equity share of such income tax expense was approximately $3.1respectively. The $1.3 million and $5.8$4.3 million decreases in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, respectively, as compared to $2.0 million and $3.5 million for the same periods in 2017.

As previously reported, Shurgard Europe is considering an initial public offering.  There can be no assurance as2018, were due primarily to whether Shurgard Europe will actually complete an initial public offering.  We do not expect to liquidate anythe impact of our investmentuninvested Offering proceeds and reductions of 5.7% and 6.7% in Shurgard Europe in connection with any such initial public offering; accordingly, we do not expect any such initial public offering to have a material impact upon our earnings.

On July 13, 2018, we received a cash distribution from Shurgard Europe totaling $145.4 million, representing our 49% share of an aggregate dividend totaling $296.8 million.  The dividend was funded by Shurgard Europe in part through proceeds from a bank loan.

For purposes of recording our equity in earnings from Shurgard Europe, the Euro was translated at exchange rates of approximately 1.168 U.S. Dollars per Euro at June 30, 2018 (1.198 at December 31, 2017), and average exchange rates of 1.192 and 1.099the U.S. Dollar to the Euro for the respective three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively,six month periods, offset partially by the impact (prior to the impact of exchange rates) of increased self-storage net operating income, both from Shurgard’s stabilized properties and average exchange ratesnewly acquired and developed facilities.

We expect year-over-year reductions in ongoing equity earnings from Shurgard in the remainder of 1.210 and 1.082 for2019. The level of these decreases will depend in part on the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

portion of the proceeds of the Offering which remain uninvested. Shurgard expects to distribute a substantial portion of its earnings to its shareholders, which will result in reduced cash available to reinvest in real estate. Our future earnings from Shurgard Europe will also be affected primarily by (i) the operating results of its existing facilities, (ii) the level of development and acquisition activities, (iii) the income tax rates applicable in the various European jurisdictions in which Shurgard operates, and (iv) the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and currencies in the countries in which Shurgard Europe conducts its business (principally the Euro),.

Share-based compensation expense includes the amortization of restricted share units and stock options granted to employees and trustees, as well as related employer taxes. Share-based compensation expense varies based upon the level of grants and their related vesting and amortization periods, forfeitures, as well as the Company’s common share price on the date of grant.

In February 2018, we announced that our CEO and CFO areat the time were retiring from their executive roles at the end of 2018 and will thenwould serve only as Trustees of the Company. Pursuant to our share-based compensation plans, their unvested grants will continue to vest over the original vesting periods during their service as long as they remain Trustees. For financial reporting, effective February 2018, the end of the service periods for previous stock option and RSU grants for these executives have changed from (i) the grants’various vesting periodsdates to (ii) the end of 2018 when they will retire.December 31, 2018. Accordingly, all remaining share-based compensation expense for these two executives will now bewas amortized bythrough the end of 2018. Included in share-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 is approximately $7.8 million and $15.6 million respectively, due toin incremental share-based compensation expense for the accelerated amortizationplanned retirement of grants to our former CEO and CFO. Similar increasesThe remaining decreases are due primarily to reductions in ongoing share-based compensation expense are expected in the remainder of 2018.  Share-based compensation costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 include a $5.4 million reversal of previously amortized costs, due to the forfeiture of share-based compensation resulting from the retirement of certain senior executives in the quarter ended

June 30, 2017.  Seeawards. See Note 10 to our June 30, 20182019 financial statements for further information on our share-based compensation. We expect a reduction in share-based compensation expense in the remainder of 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018.

Costs of senior executives represent the cash compensation paid to our chief executive officerCEO and chief financial officer. CFO.

Development and acquisition costs primarily represent internal and external expenses related to our development and acquisition of real estate facilities and varies primarily based upon the level of activities. The amounts in the above table are net of $3.2$3.0 million and $6.3$6.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, respectively, and $2.0as compared to $3.2 million and $4.1$6.3 million for the same periods in 2017,2018, in development costs that were capitalized to newly developed and redeveloped self-storage facilities. Development and acquisition costs are expected to remain stable in the remainder of 2018. 2019.

Tax compliance costs and taxes paid include taxes paid to various state and local authorities, the internal and external costs of filing tax returns, costs associated with complying with federal and state tax laws, and maintaining our compliance with Internal Revenue Service REIT rules. Such costs vary primarily based upon the tax rates of the various states in which we do business.

Legal costs include internal personnel as well as fees paid to legal firms and other third parties with respect to general corporate legal matters and risk management, and varies based upon the level of legal activity. The future level of legal costs is not determinable.

Public company costs represent the incremental costs of operating as a publicly-traded company, such as internal and external investor relations expenses, stock listing and transfer agent fees, board of trustees’ (our “Board”)

costs, and costs associated with maintaining compliance with applicable laws and regulations, including the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Other costs represent certain professional and consulting fees, payroll, and overhead that are not attributable to our property operations. Such costs vary depending upon the level of corporate activities, initiatives, and other factors and, as such, are not predictable. Amounts forThe decrease is due primarily to certain nonrecurring costs in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 include approximately $2.0 million in costs incurred to demolish certain buildings that were damaged in flooding in 2017 and are being rebuilt.2018.

Our future general and administrative expenses are difficult to estimate, due to their dependence upon many factors, including those noted above.

Interest and other income: Interest and other income is comprised primarily of the net income from our commercial operations, andour property management operations and to a lesser extentoperation, interest earned on cash balances, and trademark license fees received from Shurgard, Europe, as well as sundry other income items that are received from time to time in varying amounts. Amounts attributable to our commercial operations and property management operations totaled $3.0$2.6 million and $5.8$5.3 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, respectively, as compared to $2.6$3.0 million and $5.2$5.8 million for the same periods in 2017.2018. The increase in interest and other income is attributable to higher interest rates on uninvested cash balances. We do not expect any significant changes in interest and other income in the remainder of 2018. 2019.

Interest expense: For the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, we incurred $9.4$13.1 million, and $18.8$22.4 million, respectively, of interest on our outstanding debt, as compared to $2.2$9.4 million and $4.3$18.8 million for the same periods in 2017.2018. In determining interest expense, these amounts were offset by capitalized interest of $1.0$0.8 million and $2.3$2.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, respectively, associated with our development activities, as compared to $1.1$1.0 million and $2.1$2.3 million for the same periods in 2017.  On September 18, 2017, we completed a public offering of $1.0 billion notes (the “U.S. Dollar Notes”) bearing an average annual interest rate of 2.732%.  For2018. The increase in the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, as compared to the same periods in 2018, we incurredis due to our issuance on April 12, 2019 of $500 million in senior notes bearing interest expense totaling $7.1 million and  $14.2 million, respectively, on the U.S. Dollar Notes.at an annual rate of 3.385%. At June 30, 2018,2019, we had $1.4$1.9 billion of debt outstanding, with an average interest rate of 2.6%2.9%. See Note 6 to our June 30, 20182019 financial statements for further information on the maturity of our debt balances.

Future interest expense will be dependent upon the level of outstanding debt and the amount of in-process development costs.

Foreign Exchange Gain (Loss): For the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded foreign currency translation losses of $5.2 million, and for the six months ended June 30, 2018,2019, we recorded foreign currency exchangetranslation gains of $2.6 million (gains of $21.9 million and $10.1 million respectively, representingfor the same periods in 2018). These gains and losses represent the changes in the U.S. Dollar equivalent of our Euro-denominated unsecured notes due to fluctuations in exchange rates (losses of $25.4 million and $31.0 million for the same periods in 2017).rates. The Euro was translated at exchange rates of approximately 1.1681.137 U.S. Dollars per Euro at June 30, 2019, 1.122 at March 31, 2019, 1.144 at December 31, 2018, 1.168 at June 30, 2018, 1.232 at March 31, 2018 and 1.198 at December 31, 2017, 1.142 at June 30, 2017, 1.068 at March 31, 2017 and 1.052 at December 31, 2016.2017. Future gains and losses on foreign currency exchangetranslation will be dependent upon changes in the relative value of the Euro to the U.S. Dollar, and the level of Euro-denominated debt outstanding.

Gain on Real Estate Investment Sales: In the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded gains totaling $341,000, and in the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded gains totaling $424,000,  and in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded gains totaling $975,000, primarily in connection with the partial sale of real estate facilities pursuant to eminent domain proceedings.

Net Income Allocable to Preferred Shareholders: Net income allocable to preferred shareholders based upon distributions decreased from $54.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 to $53.5 million in the same period in 2019, due to lower average rates, and increased from $108.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $108.5 million in the same period in 2019, due to higher average preferred shares outstanding partially offset by lower average rates. We also allocated $8.9 million of income from our common shareholders to the holders of our preferred shares in the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 as compared to2019 in connection with the same periodsredemption of our Series Z Preferred Shares and $8.5 million in 2017, due to lower average rates and lower weighted average preferred shares outstanding.the six months ended June 30, 2019 in connection with the redemption of our Series Y Preferred Shares. Based upon our preferred shares outstanding at June 30, 2018,2019, our quarterly distribution to our preferred shareholders is expected to be approximately $54.1$49.2 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Financing Strategy: As a REIT, we generally distribute 100% of our taxable income to our shareholders, which relative to a taxable C corporation, limits the amount of cash flow from operations that we can retain for investments. As a result, in order to grow our asset base, access to capital is important. Historically we have primarily financed our cash investment activities with retained operating cash flow combined with the proceeds from the issuance of preferred securities. Over the past twothree years, we have diversified our capital sources by issuing medium term debt.

Our financial profile is characterized by strong credit metrics, including low leverage relative to our total capitalization and operating cash flows. We are one of the highest rated REITs, as rated by major rating agencies Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s. Our unsecured debt has an “A” credit rating by Standard & Poor’s and “A2” by Moody’s. Our credit ratings on each of our series of preferred shares are “A3” by Moody’s and “BBB+” by Standard & Poor’s. Our credit profile and ratings enables us to effectively access both the public and private capital markets to raise capital.

We have a $500.0 million revolving line of credit which we occasionally use as temporary “bridge” financing until we are able to raise longer term capital. As of June 30, 20182019 and August 1, 2018,July 30, 2019, there were no borrowings outstanding on the revolving line of credit, however, we do have approximately $16.1$15.9 million of outstanding letters of credit which limits our borrowing capacity to $483.9$484.1 million.

On April 19, 2019, we amended our revolving line of credit to (i) extend the maturity date from March 31, 2020 to April 19, 2024, (ii) decrease the current effective borrowing spread over LIBOR from 0.850% to 0.70%, and (iii) decrease the current effective facility fee from 0.080% to 0.070%. All other terms remain substantially the same.

Over the long-term, we expect to fund our capital requirements with retained operating cash flow, the issuance of additional medium or long termlong-term debt, and proceeds from the issuance of common and preferred securities. We will select among these sources of capital based upon availability, relative cost, the desire for leverage, refinancing risk, and considering potential constraints caused by certain features of capital sources, such as debt covenants.

Liquidity and Capital Resource Analysis: We believe that our net cash provided by our operating activities will continue to be sufficient to enable us to meet our ongoing requirements for principal payments on debt, maintenance capital expenditures and distributions to our shareholders for the foreseeable future.

As of June 30, 2018, our2019, we expect capital resources over the next year are expected to beof approximately $1.2$1.1 billion, which exceeds our current plannedcurrently identified capital needs over the next year of approximately $551.5$415.1 million. Our expected capital resources include: (i) $338.4$360.3 million of cash as of June 30, 2018,2019, (ii) $483.9$484.1 million of available borrowing capacity on our revolving line of credit, (iii) $145.4 million in cash distributions received from Shurgard Europe on July 13, 2018, and (iv)(iii) approximately $200 million to $250 million of expected retained operating cash flow forin the next twelve

51


months.year. Retained operating cash flow represents our expected cash flows from ourflow provided by operating activities, less shareholder distributions and capital expenditures to maintain our real estate facilities.

Our plannedcurrently identified capital needs over the next year consist primarily of (i) $445.2 million of remaining spend on our current development pipeline, (ii) $95.2$86.5 million in property acquisitions currently under contract and (iii) $11.1$328.6 million of remaining spending on our current development pipeline, which will be incurred primarily in the next 18 months. We have no substantial principal repaymentspayments on existing debt.debt until 2022. Our capital needs may increase over the next year as we expect to add projects to our development pipeline and acquire additional properties. In addition to other investment activities, we may also redeem outstanding preferred securities or repurchase shares of our common stock in the future.

To the extent our retained operating cash flow, cash on hand, and line of credit are insufficient to fund our activities, we believe we have a variety of possibilities to raise additional capital including issuing common or preferred securities, issuing debt, or entering into joint venture arrangements to acquire or develop facilities.

Required Debt Repayments:As of June 30, 2018,2019, our outstanding debt totaled approximately $1.4$1.9 billion, consisting of $28.3 million of secured debt, $399.6$388.9 million of Euro-denominated unsecured debt and $1.0$1.5 billion of U.S. Dollar denominated unsecured debt.

The remaining maturities on our debt over at least the next three years are nominal compared to our expected annual retained operating cash flow.

Capital Expenditure Requirements: Capital expenditures include general maintenance, major repairs or replacements to elements of our facilities to keep our facilities in good operating condition and maintain their visual appeal. Capital expenditures do not include costs relating to the development of new facilities or redevelopment of existing facilities to increase their available rentable square footage.

Capital expenditures totaled $53.2$72.6 million in the first six months of 2018,2019, and are expected to be between $140approximate $200 million in the year ending December 31, 2019. Our capital expenditures for 2019 include certain projects that are upgrades and not traditional like-for-like replacements of existing components, and in certain circumstances replace existing components before the end of their functional lives. Such projects include installation of LED lighting, replacing existing planting configurations with more drought tolerant and low maintenance configurations, installation of solar panels, improvements to office configurations to provide a more customer-friendly experience, and improvements to outdoor facades and color schemes. Such incremental investments improve customer satisfaction, the attractiveness and competitiveness of our facilities to new and existing customers, or reduce operating costs. The $200 million in capital expenditures expected for 2019 represents a substantial increase of the amounts incurred of $139.4 million, $124.8 million and $180$86.0 million in 2018.  The level of our2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively. We expect continued elevated capital expenditures are dependent uponbeyond 2019; however, the resultslevel and persistence of our evaluation of the potential upgrade of existing HVAC equipment, offices, lighting, and elevator units in certain facilities.  For the last four years, maintenance capital expenditures have ranged between approximately $0.45 and $0.75 per net rentable square foot per year.this elevation is uncertain at this time.

Requirement to Pay Distributions: For all periods presented herein, we have elected to be treated as a REIT, as defined in the Code. As a REIT, we do not incur federal income tax on our REIT taxable income (generally, net rents and gains from real property, dividends, and interest) that is fully distributed each year (for this purpose, certain distributions paid in a subsequent year may be considered), and if we meet certain organizational and operational rules. We believe we have met these requirements in all periods presented herein, and we expect to continue to elect and qualify as a REIT.

On July 25, 2018,24, 2019, our Board declared a regular common quarterly dividend of $2.00 per common share totaling approximately $348$349 million, which will be paid at the end of September 2018.2019. Our consistent, long-term dividend policy has been to distribute only our taxable income. Future quarterly distributions with respect to the common shares will continue to be determined based upon our REIT distribution requirements after taking into consideration distributions to the preferred shareholders and will be funded with cash flows from operating activities.

We estimate the annual distribution requirements with respect to our Preferred Shares outstanding at June 30, 2018,2019, to be approximately $216.3$196.8 million per year.

52


We estimate we will pay approximately $6.0$7.1 million per year in distributions to noncontrolling interests outstanding at June 30, 2018. 2019.

Real Estate Investment Activities:Subsequent to June 30, 2018,2019, we acquired or were under contract to acquire (subject to customary closing conditions) 14ten self-storage facilities for $95.2$86.5 million. We will continue to seek to acquire properties; however, there is significant competition to acquire existing facilities and there can be no assurance as to the level of facilities we may acquire.

59


As of June 30, 20182019 we had development and redevelopmentexpansion projects at a total cost of approximately $679.2$520.5 million. Costs incurred through June 30, 20182019 were $234.0$191.9 million, with the remaining cost to complete of $445.2$328.6 million expected to be incurred primarily in the next 18 months. Some of these projects are subject to significant contingencies such as entitlement approval. We expect to continue to seek additional projects; however, the level of future development and redevelopment may be limited due to various constraints such as difficulty in finding projects that meet our risk-adjusted yield expectations and challenges in obtaining building permits for self-storage activities in certain municipalities.

Shurgard Europe: As previously reported, Shurgard Europe is considering an initial public offering.  On July 13, 2018, we received a cash distribution from Shurgard Europe of $145.4 million, representing our 49% share of an aggregate dividend totaling $296.8 million.  The dividend was funded by Shurgard Europe in part through proceeds from a bank loan.  There can be no assurance as to whether Shurgard Europe will actually complete an initial public offering.  We do not expect to liquidate any of our investment in Shurgard Europe in connection with any such initial public offering. 

Redemption of Preferred Securities: Historically, we have taken advantage of refinancing higher coupon preferred securities with lower coupon preferred securities. In the future, we may also elect to finance the redemption of preferred securities with proceeds from the issuance of debt. As of August 1, 2018,July 30, 2019, we have fourthe following additional series of preferred securities that are eligible for redemption, at our option and with 30 days’ notice; our 5.625% Series U Preferred Shares with $287.5 million outstanding,($288 million), our 5.375% Series V Preferred Shares with $495.0 million outstanding,($495 million), our 5.200% Series W Preferred Shares with $500.0 million outstanding($500 million), and our 5.200% Series X Preferred Shares with $225.0 million outstanding.($225 million). See Note 8 to our June 30, 2019 financial statements for the redemption dates of our other series of preferred shares. Redemption of such preferred shares will depend upon many factors.factors, including the rate at which we could issue replacement preferred securities. None of our preferred securities are redeemable at the option of the holders.

Repurchases of Common Shares: Our Board has authorized management to repurchase up to 35,000,000 of our common shares on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the three months ended June 30, 2018,2019, we did not repurchase any of our common shares. From the inception of the repurchase program through August 1, 2018,July 30, 2019, we have repurchased a total of 23,721,916 common shares at an aggregate cost of approximately $679.1 million. Future levels of common share repurchases will be dependent upon our available capital, investment alternatives and the trading price of our common shares.

Our preferred shares are redeemable at our option generally five years after issuance, but the holder has no redemption option. Our debt is our only market-risk sensitive portion of our capital structure, which totals approximately $1.4$1.9 billion and represents 16.0%21.8% of the book value of our equity at June 30, 2018.  2019.

We have foreign currency exposure at June 30, 20182019 related to i)(i) our investment in Shurgard, Europe, with a book value of $326.3$345.8 million and ii)(ii) €342.0 million ($399.6388.9 million) of Euro-denominated unsecured notes payable.

The fair value of our fixed rate debt at June 30, 20182019 is approximately $1.4$2.0 billion. The table below summarizes the annual maturities of our fixed rate debt, which had a weighted average effective rate of 2.6%2.9% at June 30, 2018.2019.

ITEM 4.Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports we file and submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in accordance with SEC guidelines and that such information is communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure based on the definition of “disclosure controls and procedures” in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures in reaching that level of reasonable assurance. We also have investments in certain unconsolidated real estate entities and because we do not control these entities, our disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities are substantially more limited than those we maintain with respect to our consolidated subsidiaries.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective, at a reasonable assurance level.
